Su Wu had never run a business in his previous life and was unaware of the hardships involved.
Even if he has innate advantages in this life, developing his career will still be a complex and complicated process.
If it weren't for the fact that not many people can see the huge profits in beverage products, it wouldn't be easy for Ruyang Beverage to develop rapidly.
Even so, he still had a lot of trouble last year; if it weren't for his resourcefulness, he would have been finished.
During the Chinese New Year, Erpi gave him a breakdown of his expenses. In just six months, Erpi's public relations spending had accumulated to nearly ten million yuan, not even counting the money they had donated.
If they hadn't gotten rid of Liu Zhenxing and spent $40 million on donations and networking, they wouldn't have had the power to expand at all.
However, Su Wu was also very clear about another matter.
Although he used all sorts of methods, the one who truly decided the outcome was Li Zhi, the young master from the capital.
If it weren't for the people behind Li Zhi pulling the strings, Su Wu would have at most taken a sum of money from Liu Zhenxing and then annoyed the Liu brothers.
He really wouldn't kidnap Liu Xia; there would be no point in doing so.
If he can't handle the Liu brothers, the trouble he'll face is unimaginable.
Similarly, times change.
The situations of Zhao Sihai and Liu Zhenxing are now completely different.
Zhao Sihai is a real estate developer in Tianjin. He has no overseas business and therefore no international accounts.
Moreover, this nouveau riche doesn't use computers for work much these days; although it's outdated, it's actually safer.
This gave Su Wu the feeling of being bitten by a dog—without a way to bite it.
His strengths are really hard to utilize when facing a player like Zhao Sihai.
Those videos and other dirt on them are only meant to annoy the other party; they don't really have much effect.
Zhao Sihai, relying on his local power and wealth, was determined to make trouble for Su Wu.
He hasn't had a single day of peace since he learned that his factory area had been sold to Su Wu.
If Ruyang Group hadn't now established a name in Tianjin, Su Wu probably would have exhausted all his efforts to check the water meter.
There aren't many problems on the official front, but there are plenty of dirty tricks going on behind the scenes.
Fortunately, Su Wu had made preparations in advance, and the security team led by Wang Bing played a crucial role at this moment.
Although Wang Bing and his men dealt with many of the thugs who came looking for trouble, they couldn't stop Zhao Sihai from having a lot of wicked ideas.
Seeing that he couldn't get anywhere with the factory area, Zhao Sihai immediately came up with another idea.
He didn't know what connections he used, but he managed to dig up a main road outside the Ruyang Electronics Industrial Park.
The reason is quite valid: there's a problem with the drainage pipes. This is a city government project, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
This matter caused Su Wu a lot of trouble.
With the production line equipment about to arrive at the port, it would be a huge problem if something went wrong.
If Jia Lindao's words could quiet Zhao Sihai down for a while, it would be a pleasant surprise for Su Wu.
Of course, Su Wu was no pushover either, and he didn't let Zhao Sihai off easy either.
Jiang Sifa, Wang Hu, and Zheng Daren have been making frequent trips to the municipal government lately.
Ruyang Real Estate is now using its partnership with the international giant GMP as a selling point, and it's proving quite effective.
This made Jinmen No. 2 take it very seriously, especially after they learned that they wanted to develop a large-scale project.
However, there are only so many plots of land planned for development, which is a bit like having too many wolves and not enough meat.
Putting aside local players, there are also many large foreign companies, so finding the right balance is definitely a difficult problem.
The best approach is to treat everyone equally and let each person rely on their own abilities.
But this is ultimately a Tianjin-led undertaking, and some policies will always be biased towards the local area.
The army group represented by Zhao Sihai has been working tirelessly to finalize some projects ahead of schedule.
At this point, under Su Wu's instruction, Jiang Sifa took the videos to No. 2 Jinmen.
These videos were filmed by Su Wu at the Sihai Hotel last year, and the content is quite sensational.
Of course, these things weren't particularly dangerous to begin with.
However, this year is special because Tianjin is hosting the International IFHP Conference.
This is a matter of national pride, and we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.
If these things were spread during the exhibition, it would be an international embarrassment.
Needless to say, Zhao Sihai and his group's idea of pursuing those large-scale projects has essentially been nipped in the bud.
Sihai Hotel
Zhao Sihai and other bosses sat at the same table with Jia Lindao and Wang Baiwan, and their expressions were not very good.
They've been making a lot of trips lately, but with little success, and they even feel that the city government is somewhat disgusted with them.
But no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't get any definite information.
After eating and drinking for a while, Zhao Sihai looked at Jia Lin beside him and said.
"Old Jia, you used to be a cadre, you have connections. Tell me, what exactly does this municipal government mean?"
"There are too many monks and not enough porridge. In addition, the monks from outside the area can chant sutras. You're lucky if you can even get some soup."
Jia Lindao took a sip of wine, appearing calm and collected, and began to make polite remarks.
But what he said really fits the situation perfectly; it perfectly reflects the current reality.
Upon hearing this, the business owners present all gave wry smiles and began to consider his earlier suggestion.
The group exchanged glances, and Zhao Sihai tentatively asked, "Old Jia, how's the Xingwang Real Estate deal?"
"Yes, I've been in talks with a big boss from Hong Kong these past few days, and things have made some progress. I estimate that the initial funding shouldn't be a problem."
Jia Lindao made up a story on the spot, but it was also to cover up his contact with Cai Guangfa.
The Sihai Hotel belongs to Zhao Sihai, and he doesn't believe Zhao Sihai didn't have some information.
Sure enough, a look of understanding flashed in Zhao Sihai's eyes upon hearing this.
