Chapter 397 The Business War Begins, A Domineering Showdown
The counterattack came quickly; at six in the morning, Qin Zheng rushed into the courtyard.
"Young Miss, something's happened!"
Su Wantang was practicing Bagua steps in the courtyard when she heard the sound and stopped.
"explain."
"All the suppliers of Tangdixuan store have breached their contracts, and the department store has also notified us that our counter will be forcibly removed."
Lu Jingyan came out of the house, still holding a towel to wipe his face.
"What's wrong"
“Someone has taken action.” Su Wantang handed him the telegram. “The suppliers collectively breached their contracts, citing quality issues as the reason.”
Lu Jingyan glanced at the telegram and frowned.
"The department store is using the same reason."
"right."
"There are also loan collection letters from banks, demanding that all commercial loans be repaid within three days, or their assets will be seized."
"Miss, what should we do? We don't have enough cash on hand to repay the loan."
Su Wantang didn't say anything, but walked to the stone table and sat down.
She picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and listened to Qin Zheng's report.
"The supplier received the notification at 10 PM last night."
"At 2 a.m., the department store issued a notice of withdrawal."
"At five o'clock in the morning, the bank sent a loan reminder letter."
She raised her head and looked at Lu Jingyan.
"This is a series of coordinated moves, with someone directing everything from behind the scenes."
Lu Jingyan nodded.
"banker."
"After Wu Zhengping died, they changed their methods to deal with me."
Qin Zheng was completely confused.
"Young lady, what banker?"
"The people of the Eagle's Nest."
"Jin Wanshan, a returned overseas Chinese, is ostensibly in the import and export business, but in reality, he is the head of Eagle Nest's financial operations in Beijing."
Lu Jingyan walked to her side and put his hand on her shoulder.
“I went to my dad and asked the military region to put pressure on him.”
Su Wantang pressed his hand down.
"Need not."
Lu Jingyan was stunned for a moment.
"Need not"
“Yes.” Su Wantang stood up, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “When it comes to business warfare, I’m the master.”
Seeing her expression, Qin Zheng felt a little more at ease.
"Young Miss, what do you plan to do?"
Su Wantang walked into the house and picked up the phone.
"Connect to Shanghai and find Du Kangnian."
The call connected, and Du Kangnian's voice came through.
"Young Miss, why are you calling so early? Something's happened."
How much stock is left in the spare warehouse?
Du Kangnian was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
"The backup warehouse has three months' worth of stock, all of which is top-quality."
"Transfer them all to Beijing. I need to see the goods arrive by this afternoon."
Du Kangnian responded and hung up the phone.
Su Wantang dialed another number.
"Connect to Beijing Bank and find the bank manager."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Find your bank manager and tell him that Su Wantang is looking for him."
The other party paused for a moment, then immediately adopted a more respectful tone.
"Please wait a moment, I will transfer you right away."
Two minutes later, the bank manager's voice came through.
"Good morning, Ms. Su."
"Oh no. Your bank has sent me a loan reminder letter."
The bank manager sighed.
“Miss Su, this is not my intention; it was imposed from above.”
"Whose top?"
“Jin Wanshan,” the bank manager said in a low voice, “He owns shares in the bank, and this loan collection order was personally given by him.”
Su Wantang smiled.
"Bank manager, can you do me a favor?"
"Please speak."
"Hold off the loan demand letter for now, give me three days."
The bank manager hesitated for a few seconds.
"Miss Su, this is probably not a good situation..."
"I know it's difficult for you."
"But I can make you a promise: in three days, Tangdi Group will not only pay off all the loans, but will also deposit additional funds."
The bank manager's eyes lit up.
"How many"
Five million.
The bank manager gasped.
Five million
"Yes. But on the condition that you help me suppress the loan demand letter."
The bank manager was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, I'll hold it for you for three days."
Thanks.
Su Wantang hung up the phone and turned to look at Lu Jingyan.
"Jingyan, help me check Jin Wanshan's recent movements."
Lu Jingyan nodded.
"I'll take care of it right away."
He turned and went out, and the jeep quickly drove away.
Qin Zheng stood to the side, looking at Su Wantang.
"Young Miss, are you really that confident?"
"Yes. Jin Wanshan thought that cutting off my suppliers and cash flow would force me to submit, but he underestimated me."
She walked to the window and looked at the sky outside.
"In business warfare, it's all about information asymmetry and cash flow."
“If he cuts off my suppliers, I'll use the supplies from my backup warehouse to fill the gap.”
“When he pressed me for my loan, I paid it off immediately and then deposited more money to get the bank on my side.”
Qin Zheng listened, but only vaguely understood.
"So what's next?"
Su Wantang turned her head, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"Now it's my turn to fight back."
At 3 p.m., Du Kangnian arrived in Beijing with more than a dozen large trucks.
The truck was loaded with top-quality goods from Tangdixuan.
Su Wantang stood at the warehouse entrance, watching trucks drive in one after another.
Du Kangnian jumped out of the car and walked up to her.
"Miss, all the goods have arrived."
Su Wantang nodded.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Du Kangnian wiped his sweat.
"It's not hard work, just a bit rushed on the way."
He paused.
"Young Miss, what exactly happened in Beijing?"
"Someone is trying to get me."
"But now that the goods have arrived, their plans have fallen through."
Du Kangnian smiled.
"So what do we do next?"
"Restock."
"Make sure all the spaces where the counters were removed are filled by tonight."
Du Kangnian responded and turned to make the arrangements.
Su Wantang walked into the warehouse and looked at the warehouse full of goods.
She had prepared all these goods in advance, specifically to deal with such unexpected situations.
She took a small notebook out of her pocket and turned to the last page.
It lists all of Jin Wanshan's businesses.
It owns an import/export company, a department store, a restaurant chain, and several factories.
She closed the notebook and squinted.
"Jin Wanshan, your life is nearing its end."
Six o'clock in the evening, Beijing Grand Hotel.
Jin Wanshan hosted a banquet to invite prominent business figures from Beijing.
The hall was brightly lit, and people were clinking glasses.
Jin Wanshan sat in the main seat with a smug smile on his face.
He was in his forties, wearing a sharp suit, and his hair was neatly combed.
Several business tycoons sat next to him, all flattering him.
"Mr. Jin, I heard you're planning to acquire the Tangdi Group soon."
Jin Wanshan smiled.
"We do have this plan."
“That’s a huge investment,” another businessman said. “Tangdi Group is one of the top companies in Beijing.”
Jin Wanshan picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"Even if you're one of the top companies, you can still go bankrupt if you don't manage your business well."
He put down his wine glass, his voice rising a few decibels.
"I heard that Tangdi Group is now facing a broken capital chain, all suppliers have broken their contracts, and even the department store counters have been removed."
"If we don't acquire this kind of company, are we just going to wait for it to go bankrupt on its own?"
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
"Mr. Jin is right."
"President Jin has great foresight."
Jin Wanshan became more and more pleased with himself as he spoke.
"I've already spoken to the bank. If Tangdi Group can't repay the loan in three days, I'll just acquire it."
"At that time, the entire business world of Beijing will belong to me, Jin Wanshan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the hall was pushed open.
Su Wantang walked in.
She was wearing a bespoke suit with a thin belt around her waist and black high heels.
He was followed by twelve Thunder bodyguards, all dressed in black suits with cold expressions.
The hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone turned to look at her.
Jin Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Oh, Miss Su is here too."
Su Wantang walked up to him and looked down at him.
"Mr. Jin, your banquet is quite lively."
Jin Wanshan raised his wine glass.
"Miss Su, come, have a drink."
Su Wantang did not accept the wine glass.
She pulled out a wad of cash from her pocket and threw it directly at Jin Wanshan's face.
"Drink your mother's head."
Cash was scattered all over the floor.
Jin Wanshan's expression changed instantly.
"Su Wantang, what do you mean?"
Su Wantang then took out a Swiss bank draft from her pocket and threw it on the table.
"I heard you want to acquire Tangdi Group."
Jin Wanshan glanced at the promissory note, and his pupils contracted.
"Ten million"
"right."
"I am now taking over all your properties in Beijing."
Jin Wanshan was stunned.
"You're crazy."
"He's not crazy."
"I just want to tell you that you're still too green to handle business warfare."
She turned and looked at the other businessmen in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Su Wantang, hereby announce that Tangdi Group will not only not go bankrupt, but will continue to expand."
"Anyone who wants to hang out with Jin Wanshan is welcome to come."
"But let me make this clear: those who oppose me will not have a good ending."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Jin Wanshan was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He suddenly stood up and smashed his wine glass.
"Stop her!"
Dozens of thugs rushed in from outside the hall, carrying sticks.
Su Zhaotang stopped and looked back.
"Mr. Jin, are you about to take action?"
Jin Wanshan sneered.
"Su Wantang, who do you think you are, daring to run wild on my turf?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than footsteps came from behind the screen.
Lu Jingyan stepped out from behind the screen and slowly unbuttoned his cuffs.
"Jin Wanshan, you are hereby placed under control of the scene because you are suspected of funding enemy agents."
