Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 592, Section 182: A Terrifying Future (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Both of you have arrived!"

"We're all acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce us, right?"

"Give me a glass of lemonade! Thank you!"

Chi Mengli arrived on time. He took out his wallet, ordered a red snapper, and handed it to the waiter who had led the way, asking him to bring him a glass of lemonade. He had drunk a couple more glasses at the spring banquet, so he wanted some honey lemonade to sober up.

This joke isn't funny!

Zhou Miaoyun and Fu Wenpei both snorted coldly in unison. Neither of them said anything. They looked at Chi Mengli sitting opposite them, and the three of them formed a triangle.

The triangle is the most stable shape; it is unbreakable!

"Both of you have asked to meet with me, and you're both business partners. If I reject either of you, I'll be blamed. It's better to be open and honest, sit down together, and see how this piece of meat should be divided!"

Chi Mengli crossed his legs, took out a cigarette case, and lit one for himself.

You haven't won yet!

Zhou Miaoyun snorted coldly, picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and said slowly that she didn't want to see Chi Mengli too smug, as that would be detrimental to future cooperation.

“I haven’t won yet, but I’ve secured a key witness who can help clear Wen Si Shao’s name.”

The one who tied the knot must untie it; the trouble was caused by Hei A Hu, so it's up to Hei A Hu to solve it.

Ha Niu is Hei A Hu's new henchman and also Hei A Hu's brother-in-law. As long as Ha Niu stands up and identifies Hei A Hu, coupled with the videotape in Liu Wen Feng's hands, it will be guaranteed that Wen Tian Chuan's crimes can be cleared.

When Fu Wenpei heard that Chi Mengli had a key witness who could prove her precious son's innocence, she wanted to ask him, but Zhou Miaoyun kicked her, so she quickly shut her mouth.

“My father-in-law has already met with Governor Rexton through his connections. If nothing unexpected happens, the deal has been finalized, and if all goes well, Taikoo Wharf will reopen tonight.”

Zhou Miaoyun didn't think Chi Mengli would win this round. As long as the Wen family was willing to spend money, they could get through even without anyone's help.

She wasn't Fu Wenpei; she didn't have any leverage over Chi Mengli. She wouldn't have taken action without being absolutely certain.

"I neither saw my victory nor the Wen family overcome the difficulties. I was just a spectator, and after the show, I left with the money the host gave me."

"Uncle Wen is willing to spend money, so naturally someone will step forward to help! But whether this help is genuine or just a calculated move remains to be seen!"

Chi Mengli flicked the cigarette from her hand and sighed, "The real show is just beginning. No one will let the Wen family get away so quickly."

However, the Wen family did have a chance to escape, but the window of opportunity was very short and small. If they did not make the right decision at the critical moment, the Wen family would not be able to escape disaster.

"Whether it's ulterior motives or a gesture of goodwill, you, handsome, took the right first step in winning."

"The Wen family is now in turmoil. My father-in-law and my husband are on one side, while my mother-in-law and Wen Tianchuan are on the other. They are divided into two factions."

"Going to such lengths just to incite internal strife within the Wen family is not like your style, Mr. Chi."

Zhou Miaoyun felt somewhat unable to figure out what Chi Mengli was up to. She was neither making a move nor stopping immediately, giving the Wen family time to react.

If the Chi Mengli in front of him was an indecisive idiot, he would send this gangster to hell! He couldn't let this guy drag him down with him.

“No! It takes time to accept the predicament. Uncle Wen is getting old. I have to give him time to accept the bad news one by one.”

"If I remember correctly, I'm supposed to receive the third batch of dried sea cucumbers from Tian Tian Fish Farm tomorrow. Mr. Wen, I probably won't be able to get the goods!"

Fu Wenpei's attention was entirely focused on Wen Tianchuan, forgetting that the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is tomorrow, is the day to hand over the third batch of dried sea cucumbers.

This shipment is very large, weighing a full three thousand kilograms, enough for Daily Fresh to supply for almost a week.

However, Tian Tian Fish Farm could not provide even one kilogram of the product. They could only open the dried sea cucumbers that had just been pickled last year. However, the dried sea cucumbers that were not old enough would have a significantly lower taste.

It's important to know that Riri Fresh Supermarket has turned the trademarks of all its suppliers into signs and inserted them on the back of the products. If it sells substandard products, it's ruining its own brand.

Moreover, Jardine Matheson would be the first to disagree with the substitution of inferior goods for superior ones, as this would constitute a breach of contract. If a breach of contract were to occur, Jardine Matheson would apply to the court to freeze all of Tian Tian Fish Farm Company's legal accounts.

Tiantian Fish Farm Company supplies more than one fresh food supermarket, and also provides payment to its suppliers.

Although the suppliers are all long-standing partners, Tian Tian Fish Farm Company has also provided letters of credit to all major suppliers.

Once Jardine Matheson applies to the court to freeze the company's accounts, the HSBC letters of credit held by Tian Tian Fish Farm will immediately become useless.

The supplier would immediately accept the unexpired letter of credit, and Tian Tian Fish Farm Company's credit and working capital would be wiped out instantly.

Within a minute, the future of Tiantian Fish Farm Company appeared in Fu Wenpei's mind. She rested her chin on her hand with a slightly pained expression and began to think of solutions.

Tian Tian Fish Farm's debt ratio is as high as 56%, which has already exceeded the safety line. The company's operating funds are all borrowed from bonds, and the most recent bond repayment is in March. If Tian Tian Fish Farm cannot extricate itself from Chi Mengli's trap on its own, it will be besieged by creditors, and the two Wen family property companies that helped provide guarantees will also be frozen.

This is the real killer move!
Poisonous! Really poisonous!
After Fu Wenpei figured everything out, she felt a little weak in the knees, but she still couldn't understand why if Liangzai Sheng attacked Tiantian Fish Farm and tried to wipe out the Wen family, he wouldn't gain any benefit at all.

The Wen family could easily cut off their fishing business, play dead, and ignore these issues.

The company will be transferred to the creditors, and the shareholders can begin selling their shares to sever ties with Tiantian Fish Farm as soon as possible and proceed with bankruptcy liquidation.

At that time, whatever amount of money Tian Tian Fish Farm can make will be used to compensate the suppliers and creditors.

Although the Wen family completely abandoned the fishing business afterward, it can be considered a miraculous turnaround.

Zhou Miaoyun looked at Fu Wenpei, who was frowning, and immediately sensed that something was wrong. Chi Mengli still had a backup plan, a backup plan to continue the attack.

“I always advise you to be kind to others, so I will let you off the hook, Mrs. Wen. I will choose to reconcile and discuss the supply time, giving the Wen family a chance to breathe.”

Chi Mengli directly stated her thoughts, saying that she would let the Wen family off the hook for now, but Yihe would not be happy if Tiantian Fish Farm Company became worthless.

Fu Wenpei felt that her brain was a bit overwhelmed. The best option was to completely crush the Wen family when they had no power to fight back.

"Alright! Mrs. Wen, my lawyer and the people from Jardine Matheson will come to your company tomorrow to talk to you properly, and I'll make sure everyone can have a respectable time."

"Miss Zhou, congratulations! Congratulations on your pregnancy!"

"Young Master Wen is truly capable. His mistress, Miss Wang, is pregnant, and Miss Zhou at home is also carrying a child. I really admire him!"

"Miss Zhou, this is the last time I'll ask you: are you going to participate or not? After today, I won't ask again!"

Xi Ren was very capable; she learned about Zhou Miaoyun's pregnancy immediately and considered it a potential variable.

But Chi Mengli doesn't see it that way. On the contrary, she thinks it's a catalyst that's weakening Wen Tianxin's importance.

My answer remains the same as last time: now is not the time.

Zhou Miaoyun still shook her head and refused. It was too risky to take the plunge now. Wen Hailiang still had a chance to turn the tables. Without clear benefits, she couldn't bear the stigma of betraying her own people.

Hong Kong's business community is a society based on personal connections and acquaintances; once your reputation is ruined, everything is over.

"Okay! That's all for today. My girlfriend has prepared a table full of dishes for me, so I won't stay here with you any longer."

Chi Mengli stood up. He was a little hungry. The dishes at the spring banquet were just like the two idiots in front of him—good-looking but useless. When it came down to it, they were still hesitating. It was really unacceptable.

He suddenly missed Teacher Li, that good-for-nothing. Although Teacher Li liked to show off, he was efficient, decisive, and daring, much more straightforward than those two women.

There's no such thing as a 100% success rate when it comes to doing bad things or making shady deals. If the success rate is over 20%, then you can go for it.

Chi Mengli put on sunglasses, took out her wallet, pointed out two large gold bull bills, threw them on the table, and turned to leave.

Seeing Chi Mengli leave, Zhou Miaoyun didn't want to see Fu Wenpei's bitter face either. She picked up her handbag, turned around and left, leaving Fu Wenpei to think about the way out for Tiantian Fish Farm.

Spinach Dong stood in front of Warehouse No. 15 at Wanchai Pier, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, waiting for the agents from Guanlou to come and meet him. Every three minutes, he would glance at his watch to check the time.

The appointed time has arrived, but the person who made the appointment has not yet arrived.

Sitting on the curb, Tsingpi was extremely impatient. If it weren't for the old man who ran the restaurant instructing him, he would never have accepted business on the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

What bad luck!
"Ah Dong! Brother Dong! Old Man Dong! Grandpa Dong!"

"Are you going to invite the person you asked to come or not? If not, I'll treat you to a spicy dog ​​meat feast in Kowloon Walled City, and then we'll go to the Dragon Palace Nightclub to watch a boxing match."

Tsing Pi is a loyal fan of AKB boxing matches, and he never misses a single one. However, the tickets for the Ryugu Nightclub are just too expensive. It's not that he can't afford them, but he simply can't bear to spend the money.

"I know you're a loser who likes watching boxing matches, so here are some boxing tickets for you, but not for tonight!"

"The dog meat in Kowloon Walled City is all seasoned. Even if you stew your family's heirloom flip-flops in a clay pot, it would still taste delicious! Eat less, or you'll become a dead Taoist, and then no one will patronize your business!"

Spinach Dong pulled out a handful of tickets for the Dragon Palace Nightclub from his pocket, crumpled them up, and threw them directly to Tsing Beer.

Ji Mi is a big shot at the Dragon Palace Nightclub. These free tickets are plentiful; you can get as many as you want!

But these tickets were used as hospitality tickets, as gifts, and sent to the bosses' companies as presents.
