Although Su Wu was surprised by Su Jianren's appearance, he was not afraid.
Having experienced so much in his past life, he was truly unconcerned about the current situation.
Moreover, he felt that Su Jianren probably didn't come to Tianjin specifically to cause him trouble.
He glanced at Liu Xia beside him and guessed that Su Jianren was really looking for him, and that he was just passing by.
Although he wasn't scared, he did find it quite annoying.
Flies don't bite, but they're disgusting.
At his suggestion, the group sat down in a private room.
During this time, Erpi whispered to him about Liu Xia's background.
Liu Xia's father, Liu Zhenxing, is a well-known big boss in Tianjin.
His main business is import and export trade, primarily coal and iron.
Coal is currently exported, while iron ore is imported.
It is now 2001, and China is still a net exporter of coal. This process will continue until 2008 before it reverses.
Thinking of his cheap father, Su Wu suddenly seemed to understand something.
Since Su Jianren and Liu Xia studied in Japan together, it is obvious that Su Guiquan and Liu Zhenxing know each other.
It could even be said that Su Jianren's ability to study in Japan was very likely due to Liu Zhenxing's approach.
Having made this basic assessment, Ren Jian understood the relationship between Liu Xia and Su Jianren at this moment.
This is probably Su Guiquan paving the way for his eldest son, Su Jianren, since Liu Xia's background is more powerful than theirs.
Liu Bin is Liu Xia's uncle from the same clan, and he's somewhat similar to Su Liuliu.
Their purpose in approaching Erpi was quite clear: they had their eyes on KeRikele.
After everyone sat down at the table, Liu Xia said to Su Jianren, "Jianren, let's talk about business first, and you can deal with your family matters later."
After saying that, he looked at Erpi and said, "Is this President Wang? I never expected that there would be such a capable person as you in China, who can actually come up with a product that is similar to Coca-Cola. You're amazing."
Erpi laughed upon hearing this, "Young Master Liu truly has a discerning eye; you discovered me so soon after I gave birth."
"Hmph, with your piracy practices, it's hard for me not to run into you." Liu Xia said with a look of disdain.
Erpi neither confirmed nor denied this; it was merely a polite remark, a common practice in the underworld.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Liu Xia curled his lip and said, "Your business is really stingy, full of shady tricks. No matter how good the product is, how can it succeed without advertising? And that name, I really..."
He finished criticizing Coca-Cola from beginning to end before picking up his teacup.
He had a completely condescending attitude and looked down on Erpi.
Erpi and Su Wu didn't say much, just waited for him to continue.
After clearing his throat, Liu Xia sighed, "It was a great product, and you've ruined it. Sell the formula patent to our Liu family, and I'll give you a good price."
Upon hearing this, Erpi finally spoke up again, "Young Master Liu, although our family business is not large, we have no intention of selling it. Please be lenient."
He didn't even ask the price before decisively refusing, just like he had refused Liu Bin at the beginning; his attitude was very firm.
In Su Wu's view, this was a very wise move.
The value of the Coca-Cola formula is far beyond what the Liu family alone could afford.
Selling it for 200 million US dollars was something Su Wu had no choice but to do; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to sell.
Erpi's attitude made Liu Xia lose face, and he turned his head to look at Liu Bin.
Liu Bin understood and looked at Erpi imperiously.
“Wang Lijun, don’t push your luck. We’ve investigated your background thoroughly; you’re just a swindler and fraudster.”
"We'll give you 30 million, but you'd better sell us the factory and the patents obediently, or your factory won't be able to keep operating. Then you won't have 30 million left."
He squinted, raised his chin, and completely disregarded Erpi and his underlings.
Erpi knew the other party's background, so he wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "President Liu, there's no need to be so ruthless. Although we may not be respectable, we still have a lot of passion."
"Are you fucking threatening me?" Liu Bin slammed his fist on the table.
"I'm only telling the truth," Erpi said, still smiling.
Liu Bin sneered, "Do you believe I'll have someone cripple you?"
Erpi laughed even harder upon hearing this, "This crackdown only lasted a few years, and you really dare to say that. I've recorded it all for you."
As he spoke, Erpi shook his Nokia phone, his smile widening.
He put his phone away, his face darkening. "If anything happens to me, you'll be the first one to suffer. Your Liu family isn't above the law; Tianjin still respects the law!"
Seeing this, Liu Bin's face turned ugly, and he whispered something in Liu Xia's ear.
Liu Xia's face darkened, and she said fiercely, "I'll give you a week to think it over. Don't push your luck."
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Jianren and said, "Take your brother and let's go."
Su Jianren, who had been silent all along, immediately perked up like a husky that had received a command.
He pointed at Su Wu and said, "You little brat, come with me. We'll talk when we get back."
Su Wu, who was sitting to the side in spectator mode, couldn't help but purse his lips upon hearing this.
He subconsciously touched his lower back, but found nothing.
This made him sigh, thinking how much more convenient it was in his previous life in America; if he wasn't satisfied, he could just shoot the bastard.
He brushed the stray hairs from his forehead and lifted his eyelids.
"We're all adults here. Are you playing the gangster game? You expect us to give you whatever you want and let whoever you want leave?"
"You guys are pretty powerful, aren't you? One wants our beverage formula, and the other wants me. Is there no law anymore? Should we call the police to come and settle this?"
He withdrew his somewhat awkward hand and responded coldly, showing no sign of backing down.
Su Jianren angrily said, "You have no right to speak here. Come with me obediently, or I'll have Dad deal with you!"
"Damn it, are you in kindergarten? Why don't you come to your dad for help?" Su Wu sneered as he got up.
Liu Xia never expected that Su Wu, an illegitimate son, would be so tough.
He patted Su Jianren on the shoulder and laughed, "Dude, your family has produced a rebellious son. You deserve to be beaten to death."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu casually threw the dish that had just been served at them.
"You're all talk and no action. Without your father, you're nothing, you bastard!"
Liu Xia, whose face was covered in vegetable soup, was completely stunned, and even Su Jianren, who was standing next to her, was a little dumbfounded.
Because Su Wu actually spoke fluent Japanese, and he even swore.
Liu Xia wiped her face stiffly and turned her head to look at Su Jianren with a hint of resentment.
That look in his eyes couldn't be clearer.
He was asking, "Did you, you bastard, teach me this Japanese?"
Su Jianren shook his head stiffly, meaning that he wouldn't use such a genuine hooligan tone.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Wu walked directly to Liu Xia, who was in a daze.
He didn't mind the dirt, and pulled Liu Xia's head close, whispering in his ear.
The entire conversation was in Japanese, yet Liu Xia's eyes twitched uncontrollably as she listened.
After saying that, Su Wu touched his body with his hands, which were covered in vegetable soup, and whispered, "If you're so great, then give up your studies in Japan, otherwise I guarantee you won't be able to come back intact."
