Chapter 30

The milk tea shop is full every day. In order to satisfy the customer base, they have temporarily opened up the display area on the second floor. However, even if they increase sales, they still cannot satisfy the strong customer base. There are even scalpers ordering in large quantities and then reselling them at high prices. , they had to limit the amount to individuals, but they couldn't defeat the hordes of scalpers.

Blocking is worse than opening up, so now they are stepping up preparations for the next stage of store franchise.

Uncle Amao's store is a pilot store. It's close to home and convenient for observation.

For some reason, Lin Wei always felt like someone was following her recently. She also had this feeling when she first arrived in Hong Kong City, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.

But this time, the feeling seemed stronger.

"What's wrong?" Song Ye asked beside him.

Lin Wei shook his head: "I'll go to Uncle Mao's store to have a look, and then go to the factory. You can keep an eye on the milk tea shop today, screen the information of the franchise stores, and don't run around."

Song Ye did not leave immediately, looking Looking at Lin Wei, she seemed to want to say something.

The two stood at the intersection, where people were coming and going, listening to the early morning hawking.

Lin Wei asked: "What's the matter? Are you too tired these days? Why don't you just take a rest? There are really a lot of things going on recently." During

this period, everyone from top to bottom was complaining about being tired. Lin Wei didn't say it was because she was The boss, but Song Ye didn't mention a word. He could fill in any problem he had. He was like a screw that fit anywhere. A large part of the reason why the milk tea shop was able to open up so quickly was because of Song Ye. Ye is able to execute her ideas with precision.

Lin Wei rarely met such a useful person. This reminded her of Wu Ming, that assistant with outstanding ability, meticulousness and rigor, but also very verbose.

But Song Ye talked little and never nagged her.

Song Ye was looking at her. A gust of breeze blew by, and the broken hair on his forehead was gently lifted, revealing a pair of dark and calm eyes, shining brightly.

This reminded Lin Wei of a dark jade bead in his collection. It was made of primary-colored glass. In the clear morning light, layers of fine shimmer slowly spread out on the surface. After looking at it for a long time, it seemed that After sucking the person in, she wanted to reach out her hand to see more clearly.

"It's time for you to cut your hair."

Huh?

Lin Wei took out two hundred yuan from her wallet and gave it to Song Ye: "I mean, if you feel tired, go out and relax, get a haircut, buy something, and eat some delicious food. I'm not that evil. I've been squeezing you all day, don't worry, I won't be so tired after a while."

Song Ye looked down at the two banknotes in his hand, his straight nose silhouetted his face, and he blinked slowly, looking slightly confused.

She doesn't seem to care much about money, and can easily give out half a month's salary of an ordinary person. She is very generous, especially generous to him. She is responsible for his food and clothing expenses at Sun's house, helps him buy items, and takes care of him as a matter of course. all expenses.

People from well-off families often have no idea about money, but she doesn't. She knows how to spend money, and every money she spends gets corresponding returns.

What does she want from herself?

He had almost forgotten what Fang Yantang looked like before.

That girl who exploded when she was angry. When did she start to change? After coming to Hong Kong City, or earlier?

But she didn't want him to ask.

"By the way, spend all the money and don't leave anything left. I will check it and I will confiscate the rest."

Song Ye looked at Lin Wei who was leaving and said nothing in the end. Maybe he had changed and didn't want to be angry anymore. She...

Lin Wei went to Uncle Mao's store. Regarding the training, Lin Wei sent an old clerk over, and she was responsible for checking. After all, the so-called old clerk didn't even have one month's work experience.

If you don't know how to lead a team, you can only work until death. As the boss, Lin Wei always allows herself to do as little as possible.

"What are these pearls made of? It tastes so soft and glutinous. Is it glutinous rice?"

"Who knows? People bring the raw materials and let us cook them directly. How can I tell you the recipe?"

" I know, this should be made from sweet potato flour. I've had it before. It's like Yuanxiao and comes in all colors. It's so pretty."

Lin Wei was sitting in the corner of the store, revising the copy of the franchise advertisement. Listen to their chat.

She wasn't surprised that someone knew that tapioca pearls had been around for a long time, but no one had made them into pearl milk tea.

Lin Wei mixes corn flour, sweet potato flour, and cassava flour in proportion to create the best taste. The main raw material is cassava flour. Influenced by Yangcheng, there are many cassava grown in Hong Kong City, which has a softer and waxier texture and is cheaper. .

Pearl milk tea is a gimmick. What is really difficult for other stores that want to imitate is the taste of milk tea. They won't be able to get the recipe for a while.

She doesn’t have many new products on sale now. Pearl milk teas are available in original, wheat and coconut flavors. There are only three fruity milk teas, classic grape, strawberry and coconut. Coffee is iced American, snow top and latte. She We plan to slowly introduce new products as the store expands.

In the afternoon, she went to the factory again, and all the work in the store was handed over to Song Ye and Yuan Yujun. She could just go and take a look when she had time.

Lin Wei is almost here at the factory. She paid a high salary to bring back the original factory director. Although she has no shares, she can get dividends, which is equivalent to taking virtual shares, but she signed a confidentiality and non-competition agreement.

The other party did not expect at the time that his newly purchased production line was actually operating normally in Lin Wei's hands, and even the old one was started.

Originally, he felt guilty, thinking that he had deceived the little girl, but before Lin Wei could say anything, he lowered the price himself.

Lin Wei also noticed this. It is normal for people to have selfish motives. As long as they are not greedy without a bottom line, Factory Director Feng is a good partner.

"There is some overcapacity now. Otherwise, let's sell some of it first. The quality of the jam we produce is not lacking in sales. My old customers must be very interested. When the weather gets hot, it will be even harder to store, and we have to rent cold storage." New The jam tastes much better than what he produced before, and this quality can be fetched at a high price.

Naturally, a milk tea shop cannot absorb the production capacity of a factory.

But Lin Wei kept the two production lines running, so that there was a lot of inventory backlog.

"It's not necessary for now. If you need it, rent an ice storage. After two months, the production capacity will be gradually consumed. During this period, you can report it to me as to how much inventory you think you need." Lin Wei's management company mainly focuses on people. Looking at the reports, I started to get started in the early stage and then gave up almost immediately. I can see any problem data.

After hearing what Lin Wei said, Factory Director Feng sat down and asked, "Can we really open so many branches in a short period of time?" He didn't understand the form of franchise stores. He just heard that branches were going to be opened, and he always felt that Impossible. How much energy does this require?

Lin Wei did not raise her head, looked at the handwritten production data on the report, and said, "Is it difficult? Unified training will be carried out and the stores will be joined one by one. This will save a lot of time and cost. In terms of manpower, if you have the right ones, you can Give me recommendations, especially those who know finance and management."

She also placed job advertisements in the newspaper, but those who are truly capable will either become civil servants or join large companies. It is not easy to find a suitable person.

Graduates of the University of Hong Kong are the targets of fierce competition, and it is impossible for her to grab them.

To put it bluntly, it is because there are too few universities here. The first batch of students from the Chinese University will not graduate until next year for internship.

There are vocational colleges, but they are also professional exports. It is difficult to recruit the management talents Lin Wei wants for a while.

...

Seeing that the factory director had left, Chen Gang came to the warehouse on the pretext of going to the toilet, knocked on the door and went in to chat with the warehouse manager.

He handed a cigarette to the other party: "What do you want? Why hasn't there been any movement? Isn't it because there are not enough manpower?"

Chen Gang was a newcomer. He had only been here for a few days. He originally wanted to apply for the position of warehouse manager, but in the end, he was not even mentioned as a manager. He didn't apply for the job as a stevedore, so he could only work on the downstream assembly line sealing cans.

The warehouse manager took the fire he handed over, took a puff of the cigarette, and said, "I've spoken to the factory director for you, but you've only been here for a short time, and the factory manager can't trust you. Why are you in a hurry? Wait a minute.

"Yes, yes -" Chen Gang said with a flattering smile, "Isn't this the bad woman in the family who keeps urging me? She is worried about me being a grown man and a group of women." The

other party smiled while holding a cigarette. Reaching for the cup at hand.

Chen Gang saw that the cup was empty and hurriedly took it to add water to the other party.

The warehouse manager flicked the ashes of his cigarette and then slowly took the water glass: "If you ask me, this woman can't be spoiled. She makes fuss all day long, doesn't know good from bad, and just listens to her mistakes."

Chen Gang smiled, "I It’s not easy to get a wife. She’s almost depleted her family’s wealth. How can she give it up?”

He paused and then said, “I heard that our big boss is also a woman. She looks like a little girl.” Guan took a sip of water, put down the cup, and said casually: "What kind of big boss? This factory belongs to my uncle. How can a girl listen to her? Don't listen to the chaos outside. My uncle has been in charge of this factory for more than ten years." "When did a girl make the decision?"

"Yes, yes, yes -"

Chen Gang listened to this man bragging again.

Until the other party suddenly held his stomach and said, "I'm going to the toilet first. You can help me look after you here for a while. Don't let outsiders come in."

"Go quickly. Don't worry, I'm here." Chen Gang said hurriedly .

The warehouse manager crossed his legs and looked like he was about to pull out his trouser pockets. He tore off the paper and ran to the toilet in the courtyard.

Chen Gang poked his head out to confirm that the other party had entered the toilet, and quickly started to rummage around. There was nothing on the table that he wanted. He found the distribution list in the drawer, and also found a bunch of keys.

He tried one by one and opened the door of the warehouse. There were partitions inside. After searching for a while, he saw some packaged raw materials. He once saw that there was white powder added by someone in the assembly line, so he quickly took some and packed it. In my arms, I also took the shipping records hanging on the wall with me when I left.

He left the warehouse in a panic, and when he was going out of the door, he was stopped again.

"What are you doing? Are you back from work?" the doorman asked.

Chen Gang said quickly: "I just received a call from the factory. My wife is going to give birth. Aren't I anxious? It's too late to ask for leave. Please help me to accommodate you."

As he said, Chen Gang took out two boxes of cigarettes and handed them to the other party: "Help me , otherwise my wife will hate me for the rest of her life."

The other party looked at him, put away the cigarette, and said, "Let's go, remember to make up for the leave later." Then he went back to his guard's cabin.

Chen Gang nodded and bowed his head to thank him, and ran out of the door.

Half an hour later, he entered a warehouse compound with his things.

"A Gang——" Everyone here knew him, and many people greeted him as he walked past.

Chen Gang carried several packages of raw materials, shipping and distribution orders, and walked upstairs with a glowing face.

"Young Master Su, I brought them all back for you."

He was so excited that he didn't even knock on the door, but just opened the door and walked in. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any passionate scenes.

Su Tianrui and several of his subordinates were eating, and when they saw his embarrassment, they felt happy.

He immediately raised his hand and asked someone to move the table away: "You are quite fast with your hands and feet. No wonder Uncle Dong said you are smart." Originally, he thought it was unreliable and wanted to go undercover himself, but unfortunately the pretty girl had seen him.

Chen Gang took something out and said: "It seems that the control is very strict, but it's all fake. I smoked cigarettes with the nephew of the factory director a few times, and he told me everything."

"He's a man . Talent -" Su Tianrui looked at the other party taking out packs of white transparent bags from his arms, his eyebrows twitching, "What are these? "Why do they look white/pink?"

"It's the raw materials they add to the jam. I thought it would be possible to find an expert to study it. It should be the secret recipe." Chen Gang took out the shipping order from his pocket again. "I feel that these are useful. I also I don’t understand. Ask someone to analyze it and find out who’s name is in it.”

Su Tianrui praised him a few more times, and Chen Gang beamed, already thinking about how he would prosper with Mr. Su in the future.

Su Tianrui opened the transparent white powder bag, crushed a little bit out with his hands, smelled it first, but didn't feel any taste, and then put it in his mouth.

"Bah, bah -"

Su Tianrui spit it out immediately.

"What's wrong, Mr. Su?" everyone asked hurriedly.

Chen Gang also stared at Su Tianrui nervously, and seeing the sour look on his face, he also tried to taste a little.

"Bah, bah -"

Su Tianrui took a deep breath: "Are you trying to fool me with salt?"

"This - this can't be salt," Chen Gang didn't want to believe it, and quickly took another pack and tasted it. .

When the white crystal entered the entrance, Chen Gang quickly said in surprise: "This, this - Mr. Su, this is not salt, this is sweet."

Su Tianrui heard the words and took it, and tasted it again. It was indeed sweet, but his expression was even darker. It was ugly, and it was sullen without saying a word.

Chen Gang was a little scared and stammered: "This-this is sweet."

Su Tianrui's men had also tasted it now, and they raised their hands and slapped him on the head.

"You idiot, it's not sweet, it's sugar!"

Su Tianrui took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Try to fool me with sugar and salt. Either you are playing tricks on me, or you are being used by them to play tricks on me." "I, you are really a genius, aren't you?"

"No, I obviously-"

"Go away." Su Tianrui didn't want to listen to his ramblings.

Several subordinates hurriedly gathered around to persuade: "Master Su, don't be angry. There is still a chance. At worst, we will send someone over. The factory can't run there anyway."

Su Tianrui said angrily: "Do you think they will still wait for you? The second time you came to steal the house?"

He took the delivery note and flipped through it. All the jam categories were written on it. Occasionally, some alphanumeric combinations appeared, and they were not in English. It was obvious that he had been on guard.

Su Tianrui was so angry that his chest felt tight. Why are these brats so naughty?

"How about we find a few people to surround them?" Someone came up with an idea, "Take a break and let them suffer a little bit. We're not afraid that they won't -"

Bang bang bang -

Su Tianrui took the shipping order rolled into a paper tube and started He hit the other person on the forehead and said, "If you want to go back and continue to mingle with society, then go ahead and no one will stop you? What a bastard, you're still surrounded. Who are you surrounding?"

His ventilation was useless. He hit him so hard that the paper flew away.

"Young Master Su, calm down," everyone came forward to persuade him, "Let's take a long-term approach. With more people and more strength, we can always find a way."

Su Tianrui looked at the few cobblers in front of him, and his heart ached even more.

The eldest brother said that he was naive and that without the relationship between his father and uncle, his academic qualifications were worthless.

This is not wrong at all, but it is impossible for him to go back to work.

The subordinate rubbed his shoulders and pinched his legs, and even gave him a cup of milk tea. Su Tianrui became even more angry when he saw the milk tea.

He was so angry that his liver ached, so he just grabbed his coat and walked out.

A few younger brothers want to follow.

"Get out!"

"No, Mr. Su - I..." The younger brother looked embarrassed, as if he was speechless.

"Let me know if you have anything to say,"

"Um, boss, can you lend me some money? I'm a little tight this month..."

Su Tianrui took a deep breath, took out his wallet from his coat, and picked out two large five-hundred-yuan bills with his fingers. Cow, then he paused, put one back hesitantly, took out one and patted the other person's chest.

Originally, he wanted to put the wallet back, but when he saw a few other eyes looking at him warmly, he took out a few more and threw them to them.

Being a big brother comes with a cost. Even if you don't do anything, it still costs money to hang around all day long.

Take charge of these people's eating, drinking and drinking.

Nearly half of the money I got from selling the pile of old electrical appliances was gone before I could do anything with it. I collected some money from the shabby warehouse to live on. I still haven’t thought about what to do for a living. I originally wanted to open a shop, but the money was too slow to make money, so I took it back. The cost will be half a year, unless it can be like a milk tea shop, which is popular every day.

Su Tianrui didn't let anyone follow him, and he didn't want to fool around with them now. The more he drank, the more bored he became. He planned to go back to Kowloon to find his old sweetheart.

It's not easy to take a taxi here. After leaving the courtyard, Su Tianrui was about to go south to the main road.

After taking a few steps out, he slowly walked back, and then showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

There was a little girl squatting at the gate, holding a watermelon in her hand. She was eating quite delicately. She lowered her head and spit out the seeds while eating. I don't know how long she had been eating, but a palm-sized hill had already piled up at her feet.

Feeling that the sunlight in front of her was blocked, Lin Wei raised her head and grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "I thought you wouldn't come out, want to eat?" She said and gave him a piece of watermelon.

Su Tianrui didn't know what he was thinking, so he took the watermelon and squatted down next to her.

The two ate in silence for a while.

"Let's talk about a business deal." Lin Wei suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Su Tianrui looked defensive.

"I..." Lin Wei raised her hand and finally said, "Can you borrow the toilet first?"

She ate too much watermelon.

Su Tianrui: "..."

After going to the bathroom, Lin Wei followed Su Tianrui upstairs. Many people didn't know Lin Wei and thought she was Su Tianrui's new love interest.

The person who greeted me also asked if it was my sister-in-law. Is she so young? Has she graduated?

Su Tianrui directly told him to "go away".

The disadvantages of dealing with men, not to mention this era, are common in later generations. When they are labeled as young women, they will automatically think in a colored direction. This is like an instinct engraved in the bones of men.

When Lin Wei entered the door, she saw several bags of "lost items" on the table. White powder was scattered all over the table, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Su Tianrui's face turned dark. These bastards only knew how to eat, and they would be pissed to death sooner or later.

He simply broke the jar, sat down on the leather sofa, and put his feet on the coffee table as if nothing had happened: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Lin Wei found a clean place to sit down and said straight to the point. : "To put it simply, I need a partner. He needs to have network resources and management capabilities. I wonder if you are interested?"

Su Tianrui was stunned for a moment when Lin Wei said this, and then his face turned ugly: " Are you checking me?"

To say that he has connections and resources means that he came prepared and has already found out his details.

There was no way to deny this, and Lin Wei spread her hands helplessly: "If I didn't know better, how could I dare to take over your old appliances?"

Su Tianrui's face turned darker: "You were targeting me then?"

Lin Wei denied, " Isn't it as scary as you think?" She paused and said, "But you have to be proactive and wait for people to come to you. This business will be very average. Uncle Amao said it all depends on Brother Wei. You won't come to the store every day to help the gangsters, so the person introduced by Brother Wei must have some background."

Su Tianrui looked at her for a while and then asked, "How old are you?"

Lin Wei did not answer him directly. "Some abilities are based on talent and have nothing to do with age." No one knows her background anyway, so she can brag as much as she wants. She continued, "But hard work can make up for weakness. If you want to learn, I can help you."

Su Tianrui sneered coldly and put his feet down: "You made the wrong calculation. Things at home have nothing to do with me. You'd better find another expert."

Lin Wei didn't speak, but stared at him with a scrutinizing look. .

I thought to myself that this silly kid was suffering from the secondary disease.

"What are you looking at?" Su Tianrui asked her, asking, "Why, you're attracted to me?"

Lin Wei didn't look away, and after a while, she said, "Can you tell me what your bottom line is? What?"

Su Tianrui's brows twitched and he crossed his arms uncomfortably: "What are you talking about?"

Lin Wei said, "Your bottom line is that you can't take advantage of your family's influence, or you don't want to hurt others. Doing something unethical? Only after you figure this out will you know how to go, otherwise you will end up in a dead end and embarrass yourself to death."

Su Tianrui's body stiffened, and his unruly expression looked a little lonely at the moment.

Su Tianrui's family undertakes government projects, develops public works, and builds resettlement housing, also known as public housing. It is said that it is a house specially rented to the poor. The rent is cheap and there is no fire hazard.

It sounds like a policy to benefit the people, but land is needed to build houses, so they set fire to the dormitories and drive the poor out, using this method to reclaim the land. That's not all. They will also work with gangs to buy and sell public housing rights. The poor who really need public housing cannot live in it. Not only does it not solve the problems of the poor, it also aggravates corruption in the system.

Seeing the homeless people coming every day to ask when they could move into their houses, Su Tianrui was tortured. Even if he didn't do good things, he, a grown man, couldn't do such evil things.

He didn't think he was a good person. He found someone to steal the formula. He didn't feel burdened by this kind of thing, but he couldn't compete with the poor for food.

In the past, he always thought that his father was just a simple businessman, but he didn't know what his family did until he went there. His uncle, who was the police chief, also accepted confessions from gangsters all year round.

Their house is a den of thieves.

"Listen to my conditions. You may not meet my requirements." Lin Wei said.

"Haha -" Su Tianrui said disdainfully, "You still provoke me, tell me, see if there is anything I can't do."

"I need a partner, that is, a shareholder who gets dividends and shares. You yourself know that I probably What do I like about you? But I’m not asking you to do anything unconscionable. I’m just asking you to ensure that my store is not affected by the police and gangs. We want to protect ourselves from harm, and we don’t want to harm others. This is the main reason why I asked you to be my partner. After all, I can find anyone, so why should I choose you?"

Su Tianrui was stunned for a while: "That's it?" He was a little surprised. It was too simple. It's hard to say where he is. At least in Hong Kong Island, no one dares to challenge him. It's enough to have the status of an uncle, so he doesn't need to do anything bad.

"Yes, this is your main responsibility as a partner. If you do this, you can get 10% of the company's shares."

"Ten percent?" Su Tianrui hesitated.

"You may not have an idea. If all franchise stores are opened, with 10% of the shares, the dividends after one year will probably be more than 700,000, and it is possible to be more than one million. I will tell you the specific model of the company later. You understand."

Su Tianrui's throat rolled. For such a simple thing, getting hundreds of thousands would make anyone else's heart.

"What else?" The other party would not give him such a benefit for nothing.

"In addition, I also need a marketing manager who will be responsible for the business negotiation and operation management of the franchise store. The salary is 2,000 yuan per month, including commissions, bonuses, meal subsidies and transportation subsidies... Your subordinates There are quite a few of them, and they can join your department so that you can start working, but you need to interview before taking up the job. The salary is 500, and there are other benefits."

Su Tianrui looked at Lin Wei with wide eyes. , seems to be determining the authenticity.

2,000 yuan is nothing, just a pocket change, but the people under him have a place to go. They don’t have to pay for their own support, and no one will have to live for free. These people are still his subordinates, and he can still cheer for them as before. , this woman really stepped on his pulse accurately.

On the one hand, he felt that this was unreliable, and on the other hand, he felt that the person in front of him was not lying to him.

"The premise is that we must abide by the company's relevant systems. We will meet with the shareholders later to discuss the details and clarify the responsibilities." Lin Wei paused, "One thing that needs to be said is that this time I am directly transferring my personal equity. Here you go, because the company has not been officially established yet, you are also considered a co-founder. New partners will join in the future. Then it will not be the same as now. It is not me personally transferring the equity, but our equity will be transferred. Being diluted together."

Su Tianrui was puzzled: "Why should we look for others? In the territory of Hong Kong City, I dare not say that we are the king, but at least no one will dare to take the initiative to cause trouble."

Lin Wei thought, If you think about it simply, your business opponents in the future will not be these little shrimps from the Black Gang.

She said, "Of course the other party has what we need, just like you have what I need now, money, connections, resources, and reputation are all possibilities. Whatever we lack, we can integrate it. When we get to that point, you can You will understand..." Lin Wei looked at him and smiled, "What you see now are just small profits in front of you. In the future, you will find that as long as you don't be stupid, you will get more than you imagined."

" You don’t have to wait for that point, just tell me now and let me see what your plans are.”

Lin Wei stood up and said, “Come to the store tomorrow. We’ll discuss the details tomorrow. You still have a colleague. We need to know each other."

Seeing that Lin Wei was about to leave, Su Tianrui said hurriedly: "Wait

a minute." This little girl is really resolute and will leave immediately after achieving her goal. No time is wasted.

Um?

Lin Wei stopped to look at him.

Su Tianrui looked at her, struggled for a while, and then said, "Why me?" He asked, "I don't believe there is no one more suitable than me, why did you choose me in the end."

"Not really, you are the most suitable one, Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "You can regard this as a kind of fate. What I am looking for is not just a partner with connections and resources, but also a partner with ambition, bottom line, ability, and three views of people." If there is too much difference, we can't work together. You just happened to come into my sight and meet my requirements. Of course, if you find someone to steal my formula, we have to figure it out when we have time."

Hearing about stealing the formula . , Su Tianrui knew he was wrong, so he touched his nose uncomfortably and said nothing.

Lin Wei left, and Su Tianrui couldn't sit still. These comments of "ambition, bottom line, and ability" made his blood boil. He had no place to use his strength. Compared with his family's denial of him, his subordinates This bottomless compliment to him is obviously very convincing.

He believed that what Lin Wei said was true.

Su Tianrui hesitated for a few seconds, took his coat, pushed the door open and went out, shouting down below -

"Wait a minute, I'll take you back."

"You're a pretty girl, why don't you have a bodyguard by your side? You're still a boss after all. Ah, I'll get two people for you to use tomorrow."

"I read the newspaper, and you're pretty good at it. Fu Sheng didn't even take advantage of it. I should have known by then that I couldn't defeat you, and it's why you're so embarrassed now. Why didn't you come to me earlier?"

Su Tianrui talked a lot along the way.

"Why don't you buy a car? It's so inconvenient to go out?" Su Tianrui stood on the roadside and took a taxi with her. "My car has been sent for repair, otherwise I will take you back directly."

Faced with the overly enthusiastic Su Tianrui, Lin Wei didn't know Is this person familiar, or did she use too much force just now and get people excited.

That's fine, I'll probably be happy if he pays for it later.

However, Lin Wei couldn't resist the enthusiasm and subconsciously moved her steps in an attempt to put some distance between her and him. As a result, the next second, the man suddenly pressed towards her.

She fell heavily to the ground, her waist hurt, and there were two muffled "bang bangs" in her ears. Something hit not far away, and dust flew over.

It took Lin Wei a while to confirm that it was a gunshot.

Su Tianrui led the person behind the street sign.

"Oh, I dare to do anything rough on my territory, grandpa. I really don't want to live anymore."

He looked at Lin Wei and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lin Wei shook her head, as if she didn't react.

In fact, she was digesting this matter. At this moment, Lin Wei had a deeper understanding of this port city in the 1960s.

...

It was already very late when Lin Wei returned from the police station. The others had eaten, but Song Ye had not come back yet. He sometimes waited until nine o'clock to close the shop, and probably ate directly in the shop.

Yuan Yujun heated up rice for Lin Wei alone.

Sun Muyin read the newspaper to her, and the public opinion war continued and intensified.

At this time, it has become a battlefield between Ms. Ye and Fu Sheng.

"Ms. Ye has brought the cashier's check to the UK for appraisal. She said that it was fine in other banks, but not here in Fusheng. She believes that the people will not be deceived, and Fusheng's conspiracy will be exposed."

Listen . Yuan Yujun's sensitive nerves were hit hard again when he saw the word promissory note: "Originally, we could have asked for it slowly. Wouldn't it be to go to the UK for appraisal? I can go there too. I don't have to ask for leave during the weekend, so it only costs me a fortune." Even if I can't get back all the air ticket money, I can get back 1 million. You tell me, well -" She was mending her son's pants. When the little fat boy was naughty, his pants were worn out every three days. She thought this 1.6 million, how many pairs of pants can you buy? I can never wear it out in a lifetime.

Lin Wei was immersed in cooking. If Yuan Yujun knew that she almost died today, I wonder if Yuan Yujun would still miss the 1.6 million.

She touched her waist. She had fallen so hard that she had a hard time sleeping at night.

Yuan Yujun sighed, she had never seen such a large sum of money in her life.

Sun Boran scolded her: "Do you know what kind of place Fusheng is? Just come up with random ideas. Xiaowei is right to do this. Don't deal with those people to avoid getting into trouble."

"Why don't I know? You Don't always act like you don't know anything and I'm too lazy to tell you. I almost went to college. So no matter how powerful Fu Sheng is, he can't not pay back the money he owes? If you borrow money, can you refuse to pay?"

Sun Boran sneered, slapped the newspaper on the sofa cushion, and said angrily, "What do you know, do you think this is a reasonable place? They haven't been reasonable in more than a hundred years? During the Opium War, the founders of Fu Sheng were the ones who encouraged the British government to go to war with the Manchus. They acted as minions of the British government and launched a comprehensive invasion of China, exploiting labor, hiring child labor, and conducting opium business. Forces have penetrated into various industries and relied on brutal plunder to accumulate capital. The process of Fusheng's growth and development is completely the entire history of China's invasion. It relied on blood-sucking Chinese to grab huge wealth and developed into a monopoly consortium. Haha - the largest foreign company. ,"

Sun Boran said angrily, "It's simply ironic. He wants to seize your life and make you obey orders. If it weren't for the intimidation from the other side, they would have done more than just defaulting on the debt."

"Yao Shou, that girl . How dare your grandma deal with this?" Yuan Yujun was stunned. She had been in Hong Kong City for more than ten years and she really didn't know this.

Lin Wei has also gained experience. She knows that Fu Sheng later entered the mainland real estate industry and is one of the top ten real estate giants in China. However, she has no understanding of the history Sun Boran mentioned. She has not really entered the real estate industry. .

Today she had a clear understanding of Fu Sheng.

"Look at the names of these foreign companies and banks, such as Fu Sheng, Swire, Wheelock, HSBC, Standard Chartered - just by name, which one looks like a foreign-funded enterprise? They are all established in China, and their business is also in China. Their names are more Chinese than those of the local people, all for the convenience of making money in China. They are like maggots attached to bones, parasitic lice, constantly knocking bones and sucking marrow in this land of China, raising themselves to be fat and strong. HSBC was so rich that it was established to carry out economic aggression against China. Their purpose has always been the same and has never changed." Sun Boran's tone was furious, already reaching the point of emotional excitement.

HSBC?

Lin Wei knew a little bit about it. After all, it was a large consortium that supported two of Hong Kong's richest men. Anyone who had a relationship with HSBC was equivalent to having a golden relationship. Businessmen in Hong Kong City were trying their best to establish a relationship with HSBC. , even if it offends the Governor of Hong Kong, he does not dare to offend HSBC. After all, the term of office of the Governor of Hong Kong is only four years, and it will pass if he tolerates it, but HSBC's deterrence is different.

Then there was the acquisition of Hang Seng, which established the status of HSBC World Bank and became one of the four major banks alongside Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. It affected the world's financial system and was called too big to fail. World Bank.

Lin Wei was deeply impressed by the fact that HSBC also had a famous incident in later generations. The United States investigated HSBC for money laundering and issued a huge fine of US$1.5 billion. In order to avoid trouble, HSBC directly sacrificed the senior executives of a Chinese company to the United States. Tube.

This operation is not unscrupulous, and should serve as a warning to all domestic entrepreneurs.

With the current influence of HSBC and Fusheng in Hong Kong City, their interests interact and form a joint force, which can strangle and contain any group or organization.

I just don’t know how my grandmother and Fu Sheng got connected in the first place.

Sun Boran opened the topic and began to educate everyone about other foreign companies.

Lin Wei listened with great interest. Now that there is no search engine, it is difficult to find information. Having a knowledgeable person can save a lot of time.

But after a while, the home phone rang.

Sun Muyin put on her slippers and went to answer the phone, asking for Lin Wei.

Lin Wei put down her chopsticks and stood up.

"Ah, it's Uncle Li..."

Sun Muyin noticed that Lin Wei's expression was a little subtle.

"I'm fine, it's okay, no, no need to bother-"

"Yes, I know, I will pay attention to it, and I will trouble you if anything happens."

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for caring about me. Everything is fine with me. Don't worry."

After chatting for a while, Lin Wei hung up the phone, and Yuan Yujun was curious about who it was.

He sat down at the dining table again and said thoughtfully: "The uncle who sent us here is called Li He. He said he read the news in the newspaper and asked me if there was anything I could help with."

"That's a really good man." Yuan Yujun said.

But Lin Wei thought of her tampered package. What on earth were they looking for?

Who is this Li He and what is his purpose?

Does it have anything to do with Fu Sheng's abnormal behavior?

Did Fu Sheng do what happened today?

"Sister Weiwei——"

Sun Muyin interrupted Lin Wei's thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wei looked up.

Sun Muyin handed the newspaper to her, but it was not convenient for her to read out the contents.

"According to insiders within Fusheng, Fusheng will launch a series of retaliatory actions against Ms. Lin Wei, including but not limited to:

1. Hiring the Hei gang to smash and burn down the store

2. False accusations about hygiene issues in the milk tea shop

3. Kidnapping Threatening Ms. Lin Wei’s relatives and friends

, but in view of the aggravation of the situation, some people also proposed a once and for all solution to directly make Ms. Lin Wei disappear..."

Sun Muyin turned pale.

Lin Wei only glanced at her and then looked away, gently "shhh" at her, and whispered: "It's okay, I did it."

This was done to make Fu Sheng avoid the rat. These are common things that happen when someone throws dirty water. No matter if they have this plan or not, if anything goes wrong in the milk tea shop, Fu Sheng will be the one to take the blame.

The last one was added on a whim. She felt that Fu Sheng shouldn't be so crazy, but in view of so many abnormal behaviors, she added this one for her own safety.

What I thought at the time was that if Fu Sheng really wanted to do something to her, he would at least consider the consequences.

But I didn't expect that an accident would happen today. Regardless of whether it was Fu Sheng or not, Fu Sheng must be blamed for today's debt.

When Su Tianrui said he wanted to call the police, Lin Wei agreed after thinking about it. She didn't think the police station would care, but at least the evidence would be retained for reporting.

But surprisingly, because of Su Tianrui's relationship, the people in the police station didn't slack off at all. When they heard that Mr. Su had been attacked, they promised to catch him even if they dug three feet into the ground.

In the evening, Lin Wei looked through her camphor box again, checking every receipt, but still had no clue.

There's nothing wrong with these notes, nothing looks special.

When she put the box down and put the key necklace back on, her hand suddenly stopped.

She looked at the ancient coin pattern on the key, which seemed familiar.
