The two left, Erpi looking puzzled and worried.
However, no matter how many questions he had, he didn't say a single unnecessary word at the time.
Once inside the car, Erpi finally spoke.
"Xiao Wu, when did you become enemies with Zhao Sihai? You didn't even tell me."
"It wasn't a big deal at first, it was just that one of his men named Zhao Debiao got into trouble with me, but then..."
Su Wu then began to recount the events without hiding anything.
Erpi frowned as he listened and couldn't help but offer some words of advice.
"Wu, it's not necessarily Zhao Sihai's idea that things happened later. It's not good for you to make enemies like this."
"I don't care whether he authorized it or not. As long as Zhao Debiao is his man, that's enough. I'm just giving him a chance to make a deal."
"Zhao Sihai is no pushover. Compared to him, Liu Zhenxing is definitely a decent person among decent people."
"It doesn't matter. I wasn't planning to sell the factory anyway. We can make money by developing it ourselves."
"That's true. Once the foundation is dug, we won't need to spend much money at all. We can take out loans or raise funds."
Erpi nodded naturally upon hearing this, clearly showing that he also had some knowledge of real estate.
Current real estate policies are very lenient; basically, once you acquire land, it's like getting money for free.
These days, people who lose money in real estate have misappropriated the money for other investments and lost money; otherwise, they wouldn't lose money at all.
To put it another way, Su Wu got these 300 acres of land from Liu Zhenxing for free, without any cost to him.
Even if he sells them all now, he can still easily get 100 million dragon coins.
However, this amount of money is a drop in the bucket for him now, so he might as well save it for development.
After giving a sympathetic exclamation, Erpi became worried again.
"But even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Zhao Sihai is a true local tyrant in Tianjin, so we..."
"That's true, but there's another saying: 'Only a mighty dragon will cross the river!'"
Su Wu nodded, fully aware of the situation.
Although Erpi was from Tianjin, his rank was far lower than Zhao Sihai's; he was just a lowly karami.
Don't let his respectable appearance fool you; he'll be no good if something really happens.
However, Su Wu felt that Zhao Sihai wasn't stupid and wouldn't turn against him for a troublesome subordinate and the great benefits he had just gained.
However, he underestimated Zhao Sihai's ruthlessness and greed.
No sooner had they left than Zhao Sihai flew into a rage in the teahouse.
"Damn it, this kid who hasn't even grown his first hairs yet dares to negotiate with me, and he even wants to give me a week?"
"Let's see the results in a week. What the hell! They don't even respect me, Zhao Si, anymore!"
"You slapped me in the face and still want to make money off me? Dream on! I'll show you what it means to be a powerful dragon but not a local snake!"
He was still unclear about what Zhao Debiao had done, but he felt that Su Wu was making a mountain out of a molehill and showing no respect.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry, or even somewhat irrational.
After his angry roar, Zhao Sihai picked up his phone in a huff.
The call was made to Zhao Debiao, who roared angrily.
"Did you die from a woman's belly? How did things go?"
While stretching his muscles and bones, Zhao Debiao carefully got up, holding his phone, and unconsciously hunched over as he walked to a secluded spot.
Once it was quiet enough, he replied, "Fourth Master, I'm doing it right now."
"Fuck you, tonight you're going to take some men and smash up the factory in Suwu North District, have someone block the roads, and make a big scene."
Zhao Sihai roared, spitting as he spoke, almost ready to take a shower.
Zhao Debiao was completely bewildered.
He wondered to himself, could it be that Su Wu had cheated on Zhao Sihai?
You should know that Zhao Sihai's mistresses are all young, beautiful, and incredibly seductive; they've cheated on him quite a few times behind his back.
"Fourth Master, has Su Wu offended you again?"
"Why are you spouting so much nonsense when I tell you to do something? Su Wu told me to cripple you, what do you say?"
"Damn, Fourth Master, don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly."
When Zhao Debiao heard that Su Wu wanted to cripple him, he immediately objected.
Now that things have come to this point, what's there to hesitate about?
He hung up the phone and immediately began organizing his men to prepare for a night raid on Su Wu's factory.
Zhao Sihai hung up the phone, his angry expression vanishing, replaced by a smile.
"Damn it, I'm preparing for both scenarios. It would be best if Su Wu backed down, but if he's really tough enough, I can use Sang Biao as leverage and maybe even gain some favor."
An old fox is an old fox.
Who would have thought that Zhao Sihai had such a plan?
Su Wu ultimately lacked experience in such intrigue and power struggles.
Back in America, he'd either disconnect the other person's internet cable or pull out a gun and start shooting at the slightest disagreement. The environments are different.
However, Zhao Debiao was no fool, and decided to activate his backup plan as well.
He gathered people and made arrangements.
"Hey, Lao Liu, Fourth Master's birthday is in a couple of days. This year's celebration should be a bit more lively."
"I'll give you 50,000 yuan. You can find a few pretty female students from Nanjing University to sing and dance for Fourth Master. There's one named Anna who actually said she's from the Arts Department. We absolutely have to invite her."
"Damn it, every time Fourth Master celebrates his birthday, there's blood involved. We subordinates have to share his burden. Do we even need to ask? Just do it."
After yelling into the phone for a while, Zhao Debiao hung up, satisfied.
He had to do what Zhao Sihai ordered, but he also needed to find a way to protect himself.
He had seen Anna's photos; Zhao Sihai would definitely be interested in her.
That old lecher is definitely up to no good when he's had a few drinks; he'll be in for a good show then.
When the gods are fighting, who will care about a nobody like him?
As night fell, a large factory area in the northern district was occupied by only one idle gatekeeper.
More than a dozen vans roared in, and countless people poured out like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The gatekeeper, a lazy bum, was dumbfounded, his half-eaten roast chicken still in his mouth.
The factory area is so empty that it's difficult to even find a screw. What are all these people doing here so aggressively?
While he was still wondering, several men had already climbed over the wall and entered.
A man rushed into the gatehouse, pointing an iron bar at him, shouting, "Open the gate, or I'll kill you!"
The idle man pointed blankly at the key hanging on the wall, his expression somewhat wooden.
"Damn, he's an idiot."
The man cursed, grabbed the keys, and walked out.
Seeing him leave, the idler immediately locked the door, turned off the light, and hid under the table.
He took out his phone and immediately dialed Wang Hu.
"Brother Tiger, something's happened. A group of people have entered the factory, and it looks like they're going to smash it up."
Wang Hu was startled upon hearing this and immediately called Su Wu.
Su Wu was comfortably soaking his feet with Erpi when he saw it was Wang Hu calling and answered it casually.
"Wang Hu, what's the matter?"
"Brother Wu, San Sha called and said that a lot of people went to your factory and started smashing things."
"What? There are such idiots who have nothing better to do? Planning to help with the demolition for free?"
