Lin Zhiyuan, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Chen Dong's words and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he delivered another heavy blow to Chen Dong as soon as he opened his mouth: "Although the Freemasons' methods are simple and clumsy, they always hit us here and there in a haphazard way, which will have a serious impact on us."

“For example, this time, if you hadn’t told me in advance to contact other small farms and hadn’t asked Afang to buy relief supplies, our beef and mutton supply chain would have been cut off.”

Chen Dong secretly remembered this sentence, and from then on, a seed was planted in his heart: Long Teng could not always passively accept the Freemasons' attacks; sometimes, he had to take the initiative to find opportunities to break through.

He wasn't the type to passively accept his fate. When the Freemasons saw that Long Teng's business was booming, they tried to win him over. When that failed, they sent assassins. Chen Dong managed to evade the first assassination attempt, but the Freemasons' attempts against him failed several times afterward. The most recent one was when Chen Dong was attacked, lost his memory, and almost lost half his life.

For various reasons, Chen Dong harbored a deep hatred for the Freemasons.

With the bird flu outbreak in Hong Kong and China preparing for a flood crisis, Chen Dong simply couldn't spare the energy and time to deal with Memphis and the others. He could only keep this grudge in his heart, waiting for the day he could find an opportunity to report the Freemasons for the humiliation he had suffered.

When questioned by DragonPlus, farmer Julia's strategy was to ignore it. She read and replied to every email from DragonPlus, but the result was always the same: the farm was unable to deliver the goods on time.

This shameless behavior completely disillusioned Lin Zhiyuan with New Parkway. He began contacting other farmers in the United States who were interested in cooperating, and finally found several small farmers in the Great Lakes region, signing contracts with them for the delivery of beef and mutton to Hong Kong port on March 1st.

At that moment, Lucy, having just finished her phone call with Julia, was smugly reporting to Memphis, "The shipment has been refused, and delivery is delayed."

The Dragon Group's attempt to curb the appetite of Hong Kong residents by using beef and mutton is not so simple.

Memphis, however, said somewhat pessimistically, "He and New Parkway can postpone delivery, but what about the other farms? America is so big, not every farm is under our control."

"Boss, right now the government in mainland China is forcing people to move out of their original homes, and the people are seriously dissatisfied with the government. The mainland is too busy to take care of itself."

Lucy emphasized several times, "Actually, it's too late for them to find a new farmer now."

Memphis chuckled to himself, "I'd like to see how Longteng gets through this dangerous period."

"By the way, remember to tell Julia to delay for a month, but on the last day of the deadline, she still has to deliver the meat to them according to the contract, otherwise we will have to pay the penalty for breach of contract."

"clear."

Memphis lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, pondering some ideas. "Have Julia's outdoor sports equipment factory keep a close eye on things. There's already an expert group in China predicting a major flood in the middle of this year. At that time, China will definitely need a lot of relief supplies."

"If we can take on this order for relief supplies, it will be a huge deal."

Lucy was a little curious. "Boss, although China's light industry manufacturing sector isn't very developed, they can produce relief supplies themselves. If we compete with them for this business, we'll easily suffer losses."

“Having a manufacturing industry and having a developed manufacturing industry are two different things.” Memphis smiled. “China has many factories, but its production efficiency has not improved. Currently, the manufacturing industry is still benefiting from the demographic dividend.”

"When a massive flood hits China, the demographic dividend will inevitably be greatly reduced. At that time, we can take the opportunity to enter the Chinese market." Memphis is used to exploiting the weaknesses of a country or region to benefit himself, and this time is no exception.

Memphis has wanted to enter the Chinese market for quite some time now. His collaboration between New Parkway Farm and Cheung Kong Holdings was intended to use Cheung Kong Holdings as a front for their entry into the Chinese market.

They have now turned Cheung Kong Holdings into their closest partner with huge incentives, and Cheung Kong Holdings trusts them implicitly.

When the Huaxia expert group provided the flood prediction model, Cheung Kong Holdings received a large order from the government, which was then transferred to the more developed New Parkway Outdoor Sports Goods Factory.

In other words, they subcontracted the work layer by layer, handing over the supplies needed for flood control and disaster relief in China to overseas companies.

Memphis not only wants to attack the Chinese stock market, but also Chinese industrial enterprises.

"Let them rent a hundred more warehouses near the ports of the Yangtze River and transport outdoor sports equipment to them first. Once the floods break out, we will take the opportunity to raise prices. This is when the country's industry is most vulnerable, and the productivity of the inland areas will definitely not be able to keep up. At that time, we can make a fortune by using Cheung Kong Holdings."

“I understand,” Lucy nodded.

With globalization, international cooperation is a common practice. However, flood control and disaster relief are when a nation's industries are most vulnerable. Assigning such a high-demand task to manufacturers in other countries seems overly ambitious.

At the same time, the farm booked the largest nearby vegetable market and sold dressed chickens and ducks there.

Upon learning that there was such a large chicken seller within Hong Kong's territory, all the diners in Hong Kong were incredulous and flocked to the New Territories to buy chicken.
