In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 555 Prepare for a rainy day
“There are foreign investors in China now, and quite a lot of them. It’s just that most of the foreign investment and foreign salaries are concentrated in places like Haicheng and Shenzhen, and there are more international students in Northeast China.”

Chen Qing tapped his index finger rhythmically on the table: "I have reason to suspect that these foreigners are all international students, but they look older because of some makeup and clothing."

“That makes sense,” Duan Dahai agreed, having seen all sorts of people over the years.

Especially those who have experienced various changes since childhood, although they may look 21 or 22, if they changed their clothes and had that weathered face, it wouldn't be surprising to say that they were 31.

On this point, Duan Dahai strongly supports Chen Qing's viewpoint.

“Brother Chen, if they really are international students, I don’t think they’ll be easy to find. There are quite a few international students in the universities in Northeast China now. We can’t just look for a needle in a haystack, can we?” Yu Dawei expressed his thoughts, his brows furrowing slightly.

"There's no need to search for a needle in a haystack. Remember the qualifications and information I mentioned about Press Company? As long as we find the person who committed the forgery or the general location, we can basically pinpoint which school the mastermind went to to find international students. He certainly wouldn't go to such lengths."

"For now, the three of you should do as I say. Let me know what happens next, and we'll analyze the situation on a case-by-case basis," Chen Qing said.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you so much!" Seeing that Chen Qing was genuinely willing to help him, Boss Liang excitedly stood up and reached out to shake his hand.

"There's no need for that. We're all friends, so we can look out for each other in the future."

“That’s natural, that’s natural.” Boss Liang nodded and smiled in response.

The three chatted with Chen Qing for a while longer before preparing to leave.

Before leaving, Chen Qing kept Yu Dawei behind to give him a few words of advice.

After Yu Dawei returned to the office, Chen Qing took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then sighed to Yu Dawei, saying, "After listening to what you all said, I can roughly guess that Boss Liang's matter is most likely related to you, and you may even be fully responsible."

"I didn't feel comfortable saying it because those two people were there. Actually, your second uncle had the same guess when he called me earlier."

"Now that the details have been sorted out, I think the person who set up Liang Hongwei is very likely located between the oil city and Harbin."

"Brother Chen, why do you say that?" Yu Dawei's heart skipped a beat. Hearing Chen Qing's guess, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"The other party came to Liang Hongwei under the name of a parts company, which means that they were trying to undermine the market you had already established. There are the most parts dealers in the oil city and Harbin. In Harbin, most of the auto parts and construction machinery parts are imported from overseas."

“They have a better understanding of overseas businesses and people.”

Chen Qing stood up and began pacing around the room: "So there's another possibility: one or more agents are envious and specially bring in some foreigners from abroad, train them, and then start setting traps for you."

“Dawei, if that’s really the case, you need to be careful.” Chen Qing knew that Hou Wanqiang cared a lot about Yu Dawei, so he also valued everything about Yu Dawei. “Liang Hongwei has already fallen, and three days have passed. In the next two days, the other party will definitely take advantage of the heat of the matter to stir things up again.”

"The target is you and the brands you represent."

“I have parts for foreign brands like BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Cadillac, as well as mechanical equipment parts for brands like Caterpillar, Volvo, and Bobcat…” Yu Dawei quickly listed the brands he represented, then added, “Besides these, I’ve also represented several other domestic and international brands in recent years, all through connections with a friend in the south, acting as an agent for the three northeastern provinces.” “If I’m not mistaken, these parts could also be sourced through other channels, right? Or were they just involved in cross-regional sales before?” Chen Qing looked into Yu Dawei’s eyes and asked earnestly.

“Yes!” Yu Dawei nodded without hesitation.

“This is going to be difficult…” Chen Qing saw Yu Dawei nod in agreement without hesitation, and he couldn’t help but pat his forehead twice, feeling that things had become more complicated.

However, Chen Qing did not tell Yu Dawei everything. She just comforted him, saying, "Go back first, but remember to be careful, especially if a stranger asks you to cooperate, or if an acquaintance brings a stranger to recruit you. Be extra careful."

"Okay." Yu Dawei, also on high alert, nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"As for your gas station, if it hasn't been built yet, don't rush to build it. Focus on getting through the current issues first, and we can talk about the gas station later."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he sat down and watched Yu Dawei agree to his request before turning to leave.

When Chen Qing was finally left alone in the office, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

It's not scary for the enemy to set a trap, as long as they are not powerful enough to control everything, you can get through it. What's scary is being surrounded by enemies, then the sky will never clear.

"This matter may be beyond my personal control, and I need Mr. Hou's help to back me up. Otherwise, even if I find the person behind it and try to set up the other party, they will not be able to bear the consequences."

Chen Qing muttered to himself, then picked up the phone and started talking to Hou Wanqiang again. The two talked for almost half an hour before hanging up.

Meanwhile, Yu Dawei and his two companions returned to Luhe Town. Boss Liang immediately went back to his office and found all of Presley's information.

Yu Dawei returned to Fanfan Repair Shop and began organizing a meeting for the people in the shop.

The first thing to do is to stop recruiting apprentices, drivers, and mechanics.

Yu Dawei was unsure what methods his opponent would use to continue targeting him, so he could only defend himself and wait for the opponent to make a move.

Secondly, regarding the parts department, Yu Dawei held another meeting with Yu Feng and Lao Ji to review the parts department's distribution areas, distribution costs, and the latest profit figures.

You wouldn't believe it until you asked!
They've expanded their sales beyond the three northeastern provinces. Under Yu Feng's coordination, they've now extended their distribution of high-end accessories from the three northeastern provinces to areas within Shanhaiguan, which is the territory of Hebei Province.

Although Ye Qian had said that there were no agents in the area north of North China, he could do whatever he wanted.

The bigger you go, the harder it is to turn back. Right now, the prices of spare parts in the three northeastern provinces are becoming inconsistent and chaotic. If you continue to expand, won't you just be killing yourself?

Yu Dawei quickly told Yu Feng to stop the expansion and adjust the prices within the three northeastern provinces. He also called for a meeting with all parts dealers and distributors to prevent malicious price competition.
