After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 544 The Turbulent Times in the Martial World
Unbeknownst to many, two opposing figures emerged within the group of private entrepreneurs in the harbor.

Two factions were formed.

One is Mr. Zhou, and the other is Young Master Zhou.

Zhou Haoran didn't take such jokes seriously and didn't consider the other party a competitor of equal strength at all.

But that Mr. Zhou was different.

Taking the initiative to attack and provoke.

For example, Zhou Haoran sent out many invitations, and in principle, everyone should have attended unless there were special circumstances. However, there were a few people who didn't show up without any special reason or explanation.

Later I learned that these people had been turned by Young Master Zhou.

He joined their gang.

Qiao Nuo compiled statistics showing that there were five people who refused to participate in the cultural performance without a legitimate reason: Qin Yutao, who was in the foreign trade business; Fu Yang, who was in the building materials business; Liu Zhiyong, who was in the cement business; Zang Tianrui, who was in the real estate business; and Jiang Ming, who was in the catering business.

"Master, these people have gone too far!"

Qiao Nuo had already found out the truth and was indignant.

Zhou Haoran had just finished dressing and came out of Hu Xiaochen's boudoir. He felt a sense of exhilaration after the lovemaking and was in a good mood. "It's all a small matter."

Qiao Nuo said angrily, "This is no small matter. Qin Yutao, who does foreign trade, is a heartless bastard! His business only succeeded because of Yangyang's help. Well, now that his business is thriving, he's betrayed us!"

“That’s normal.” Zhou Haoran expressed his understanding. “Human hearts are the hardest to fathom, especially those ordinary people from the bottom of society. They haven’t seen much of the world and are easily flustered and distorted when faced with major decisions.”

Qiao Nuo said angrily, "And that Jiang Ming, he's opened seven or eight chain stores already. The reason he was able to go from a small restaurant owner to a successful business was because I gave him the idea to secretly work at KFC for three months and learn the ropes. Now that he's achieved some success, he's turned his back on me."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Alright, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with them."

Qiao Nuo gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not angry, I just feel it's unfair, they're all ungrateful wretches!"

"Who doesn't make mistakes in their life?" Zhou Haoran said dismissively. "Alright, don't be angry, let's forget about it. There are over three hundred people in the student group, losing a few won't make a difference."

"wrong."

"Ah."

"There are more than three hundred people now..."

Qiao Nuo blinked a few times, then grinned, her expression flashing with smugness and pride.

Zhou Haoran's eyes lit up. "Another increase?"

“That’s right!” Qiao Nuo raised her little face slightly. “Now, even the Master’s letters are in high demand. Business people want them, and the demand has even spread to other places.”

"Out of town?"

Zhou Haoran was a little surprised.

Qiao Nuo laughed and said, "Many bosses from other places have come here to work in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, especially in Ningbo and Wenzhou... However, some new situations have emerged now."

Zhou Haoran asked, "What new situation?"

Qiao Nuo said helplessly, "Piracy."

Zhou Haoran burst out laughing.

This is not surprising.

Qiao Nuo said, "From what I understand, there's not much piracy in the port area. It's a different story outside, especially among small business owners in Wenzhou, almost everyone has a copy."

"One for everyone? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

Zhou Haoran hadn't expected this effect.

Qiao Nuo said very seriously, "It's true, I've heard about it. Every time a new issue of the letter comes out, someone makes copies and sells them to small vendors for 3 or 5 yuan each. It's become an industry."

Zhou Haoran smirked, "This letter has become a 'Business Handbook'."

"It's 'The Business Bible'!"

Jono was very proud.

Because these letters have nothing to do with the Master; she is the first author.

She bought many finance-related books from overseas or Hong Kong and Taiwan, extracted the key points, and integrated them with some domestic business cases to compile and organize them.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Great! I hereby declare that Comrade Qiao Nuo is the number one financial writer in our country!"

Qiao Nuo blushed slightly, but raised her little face and said, "I've put so much effort into writing this letter that I haven't finished writing my own book yet."

Zhou Haoran had given her pointers; she could write some books on European and American conspiracy theories, which would definitely be bestsellers.

However, her time was mostly spent writing letters.

How many students are in the student group now?

"do not know."

"what?"

"I really don't know. Many people subscribe silently and never show their faces. And there are so many pirate users, it's impossible to count them all." Qiao Nuo waved her hand triumphantly. "Anyway, there are definitely a couple thousand people. They're all our students!"

Zhou Haoran joked, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Qiao."

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do!"

Qiao Nuo grinned.

However, by the next day, she couldn't smile at all.

He called Zhou Haoran directly to ask for help.

"Master, I'm at the teahouse! Someone's causing trouble!"

Jono sounded very anxious.

"Huh? Causing trouble?" Zhou Haoran was on his way to inspect the arts troupe with Lin Guiyan, the newly appointed director of the liaison office. "What trouble?"

Qiao Nuo quickly said, "It's Zang Tianrui!" "Zang Tianrui?" Zhou Haoran didn't recognize the name. "Who is he?"

Qiao Nuo said, "It's the one I told you about yesterday. Five people defected to Zhou Zhengqi's side, and he's one of them. He's the one who's in the real estate business."

“Oh, it’s him…” Zhou Haoran’s expression turned serious. “He caused trouble at the teahouse?”

"Yes, they brought several people with them, saying that our tea has an off-odor, that it's moldy and spoiled, and demanding compensation from us. They even said they would report it to the police and the industry and commerce bureau!"

Qiao Nuo is a girl after all, and she is very calm in dealing with this kind of situation.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu Zhengyue was still in charge at the Red Mansion Teahouse.

He has dealt with all sorts of people his whole life and is adept at handling such matters.

"Find out Zang Tianrui's background, I'm coming over right now!"

Zhou Haoran immediately changed course and headed to the Red Mansion Teahouse.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Guiyan asked with concern, "Haoran, what happened?"

Zhou Haoran said dismissively, "Some people, if they don't suffer a little, they won't know how many eyes the King of Horse has."

Lin Guiyan's eyes lit up.

She knew that Zhou Haoran had other things to do outside of work; otherwise, he would never have achieved what he has today with just his simple position within the company.

I just don't know what he does.

I had the opportunity to witness it firsthand this time.

Then, in his Cadillac DeVille, he arrived at the high-walled compound on the west side of the Bund. It was a luxurious Western-style building that resembled a palace, with a plaque that read "Haoran Mansion - Red House Teahouse".

Lin Guiyan understood immediately.

This old-fashioned Western-style house is called Haoran Mansion.

The business operating in the Western-style house was called the Red Mansion Teahouse.

Lin Guiyan took a deep breath, her gaze falling on the magnificent mansion, utterly shocked... Can a private individual still own a house of this caliber? How much would this cost?

Zhou Haoran stood with his hands behind his back, not even reaching the lobby yet.

Then I heard someone shouting loudly inside, making a lot of noise.

After the past.

They found that there were already more than twenty people in the lobby.

Some were staff members, some were guests trying to break up the fight, and the loudest ones were probably the troublemakers.

The guy at the front with the buzz cut, round face, and thick neck looked like Zang Tianrui.

After the gentleman appeared with a beautiful young woman by his side, the lobby suddenly became much quieter.

"The Master has arrived."

"Alright, Mr. Big is here."

"Now that the master is here, we've done enough for today."

The first to come over and greet us were the guests in the teahouse; they had been trying to mediate the fight.

Zhou Haoran nodded to the others, then fixed his gaze on the troublemakers, his expression cold: "Who is Zang Tianrui?"

"Mr...Mr., it's me."

Zang Tianrui was quite arrogant just now, but his aura weakened as soon as he saw Zhou Haoran.

Zhou Haoran stared at him coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Zang Tianrui swallowed hard and explained, "Sir, it really wasn't my fault. I brought some business friends over for tea today, but we found that the tea was spoiled and moldy..."

Zhou Haoran waved his hand, interrupting him, "Speak, who sent you?"

"No...no..."

Zang Tianrui's expression was somewhat strange, his voice lowered, and his arrogance was not as strong as before.

In front of the big man, he seemed unable to even straighten his back.

Zhou Haoran said coldly, "Did Zhou Zhengqi send you?"

“No, absolutely not!” Zang Tianrui’s expression changed slightly. “Sir, I just came here with a few friends for tea, but I didn’t expect that the tea leaves… Young Master Zhou did not make such an arrangement.”

As soon as these words were spoken, some people at the scene understood what was going on.

The majority of the guests at the Red Mansion Teahouse were student groups.

Some people had also been invited by the so-called "Young Master Zhou" before. After the cultural performance, the news gradually spread within the group that the great master now had a rival.

A storm is brewing on the Huangpu River.

A young master Zhou has suddenly appeared!

Unexpectedly, they resorted to such despicable tactics, sending people to cause trouble!
Zhou Haoran stared coldly at the other party, "I won't say anything about you joining Zhou Zhengqi. You're free to come and go from the Red Mansion Teahouse! But you can defect, but you're bringing people back to cause trouble, slander the Red Mansion Teahouse, and spread rumors. What do you want to do? Do you really think I, Zhou Haoran, have a good temper?"

"Sir, I'm not causing trouble, I'm just having tea..."

Zang Tianrui sensed the threat in the old man's words and immediately became fearful.

At this moment, Qiao Nuo also came over and handed over a document.

The teahouse keeps a record of information for each member.

This document contains Zang Tianrui's personal information. He runs a real estate company called Tianrui Real Estate in Pudu District, where he is developing a real estate project covering more than 20 acres.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Haoran immediately took out his phone and made a call: "Uncle Huai, I want to report something! Tianrui Real Estate in Pudu District is suspected of tax evasion, illegal operations, and bribery in loan applications. They must be severely punished!"
