After settling the three of them in, Su Wu returned to his villa alone.

He had just entered the house when he received a call from Wang Hu.

"Brother Wu, those bastards have sealed off Furuilou and told us to make rectifications. It can only reopen when the inspection is over."

"Then do as they ask, and you can also try to build some connections."

Su Wu couldn't do anything about this; he could only offer a word of comfort.

He and Erpi, one a cute college student and the other a former conman, what kind of high-level relationship could they possibly have?

The only important person they've probably met so far is Du Ziteng.

But Du Ziteng was clearly powerless to help, otherwise Wang Hu wouldn't have called.

Currently, the other party is clearly launching a cross-domain attack, and Su Wu really doesn't have a good way to deal with it.

He's not just backing down now; he has no choice but to comply.

The only solution he can currently use is to find ways to address the problem indirectly.

This is similar to how we dealt with Liu Zhenxing some time ago.

But Su Wu was getting tired of constantly dealing with these shady things.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Erpi called.

"Brother, you should know what happened in Tianjin. Did you offend someone?"

Upon hearing Erpi's question, Su Wu knew that he must have already come up with a solution.

He did not hide anything and told the truth.

"That's how it is. I got Liu Zhenbing's son, the head of the South District, fired."

Erpi was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then exclaimed in surprise.

"That bastard deserved it. You're really awesome, brother, for coming up with this kind of trick."

"No wonder Du Ziteng said he was powerless. Turns out it was you who slept with the district chief's son. That's amazing!"

"After Du Ziteng inquired, he said that we might have offended someone. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do!"

Erpi became more and more excited as he talked, completely oblivious to the fact that the factory and restaurant had been shut down.

Su Wu didn't interrupt him and listened patiently. This was the brotherhood between them, without a single complaint.

After rambling on for a while, Erpi finally got down to business.

"I'm currently building a factory around Shanghai, which is a critical moment, so I can't go back at all."

"But with my little bit of pus, it's no use going back. I can't beat the district chief. Why don't we just leave him locked up? You got his son fired anyway."

Both of them are sensible people and wouldn't shout any pointless slogans like "kill him."

Being able to stand up straight when being hit is the attitude a mature individual should have.

Of course, they won't hesitate to stab someone in the back when given the chance.

After a while, when Erpi stopped, Su Wu slowly spoke.

"Erpi, have you noticed that we have a fatal weakness?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Let's not talk about whether we're rich or not, but we have no backing, no influential people to support us, have you noticed?"

"We're just doing legitimate business, do we have to resort to flattery and bootlicking?"

"It's not about flattery, but about mutual benefit, or rather, making it impossible for those big shots to ignore us."

"Old Wu, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Su Wu finally managed to get down to business, but Erpi said he couldn't understand.

This made him sigh, realizing that Erpi's level of education and knowledge needed improvement.

He was only telling Erpi these things as a precaution, to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future.

Liu Zhenbing's petty tricks are only a temporary pain for them now, but who can guarantee that the next time won't be a catastrophe?

Su Wu recalled the rumors about Coca-Cola that Li Zhi had mentioned and felt it was necessary to clarify things.

"Erpi, you should take advantage of your time to attend more IBM training courses or something to improve yourself; after all, you're going to be a big boss someday. Also, I have a few suggestions for you..."

“When we build a factory there, we sign an agreement with the local government and establish an annual donation plan, such as for the school or something.”

"In addition, you should get to know more important people. I don't mean you have to fawn over them, but at least get to know them and build some connections."

"However, you also need to be sure that we can't do those kinds of shady things, otherwise..."

"Also, you must pay close attention to the market reaction of Coca-Cola, especially the reaction of American Coca-Cola, and try to capitalize on it for as long as possible."

Erpi was completely enlightened and wished he could write everything down in a notebook.

He believed that Su Wu's words were invaluable and would definitely be beneficial.

But Su Wu's last words, "Stay a little longer," instantly broke his defenses.

"Stay a little longer? What does that mean?"

"Damn it, do you think Coca-Cola would just leave us to fend for ourselves?"

"No way, we almost scraped our skin raw."

"That settles it. I reckon they'll sue us sooner or later, so we have to prepare early."

"How are we going to prepare? We've been given an extra stroke by them, we can't just change it to 'Cola with Eyes', can we?"

"Bullshit, what I mean is that before they sue us, we should increase production capacity and sales volume. That's the only way to be safe."

Su Wu put his hand to his forehead, feeling that the two of them were about to have a communication impediment.

However, having come to this point, Erpi understood.

He said in a serious tone, "So you mean to take advantage of the fact that they haven't found out yet and do whatever you want to them? Just say it."

"Okay, brother, I was wrong. I promise I won't say anything more next time," Su Wu said with a wry smile.

Erpi hummed smugly for a while before asking seriously.

"So what are your plans for Tianjin?"
