Life at The Top novel Chapter 1682

Mid Mountain Residential Area in Harbor City. Kayden pushed open the door to the study in the J. Langdon’s villa.

In this villa, only two people were allowed to enter Half the Harbor Langdon’s study without knocking. One was Half the Harbor Langdon himself, and the other was his successor, Kayden. Even Kayden’s siblings did not enjoy such privileges.

“You’re here…”

Half the Harbor Langdon, who was reading the file, raised his eyelid, glanced at Kayden, and said quietly.

“Father, tonight’ s dinner went smoothly. After you left, I sent all the wealthy businessmen home, but they never made any promises.” Kayden sat across from Half the Harbor Langdon and said.

Half the Harbor Langdon smiled, took off his glasses, and said, “This is normal, but even if you don’t say it, they have already proven their position with actions. This is enough.”

“Just now, I received a call from the United States. Our plan was a success. Now we only have to wait for the announcement tomorrow.”

Kayden pondered slightly and said, “Is it really okay for us to do this?”

“No, and we’ll have a pretty big problem too,” Half the Harbor Langdon answered directly.

“So..?”

Seeing his son’s hesitation, Half the Harbor Langdon said gently, “When we’re doing business, we’ll either do business in the east of the city or the south of the city. In many cases, we can’t do business on both sides together because there is a problem in terms of strength. There is also the problem of the east and south sides of the city not liking each other.”

“But aren’t we opportunists if we do this?” Kayden asked unwillingly.

“However, there’s one thing you lack. You’ve never been poor or experienced hardships. You’ve never experienced the toil of attracting customers in the train station only to get looked down on because you need to sell plastic flowers that’ll only make you a profit of 5 cents. Your throat would have started smoking because you’ve been hollering for the whole day, and yet, you’d still be too poor for food and can only eat bread or starve.”

“Hence, you’ve not savage enough. You have to be savage if you’re in this line of business.”

“The mainland needs us to stimulate the economy and we can make a huge sum of money too, so why not? Why wouldn’t the mainland welcome us?”

“At the end of the day, if we have enough strength, we’ll have enough chips to play with the dealer on any betting table. If we don’t, of course, the situation would be different, but now…”

“We can, and we have to do it with great fanfare. Who can do anything to us?”

Kayden nodded his head slowly and replied, “I understand, Father.”
