Peter's Café is a well-known high-end and classy place in Beijing, frequented by social elites.
It's shocking to see two well-dressed guys, clearly elites among elites, actually fighting.
However, to be fair, neither Peter Ma nor Hu Mingfu are exactly people who live a life of luxury.
They work out regularly, and although their physiques are average, they have great stamina.
Although the two didn't know anything about fighting, their punches were incredibly solid and impactful.
"Hu Mingfu, you dare to trample on my territory? Do you think I'm a pushover?!"
"Peter, I'll take you for a fool, so what!"
"You fucking insult me, I'll beat you to death."
"Where did I insult you? There's something wrong with your name, ugh..."
In just one minute, the two were locked in a fierce battle, their composure completely ruined.
Hu Mingfu was caught off guard and punched on the bridge of his nose by Peter Ma, causing him to bleed profusely.
He wiped his nose away casually, and his face was covered in blood, making him look terrible.
"Damn it, if I don't cripple you today, I'm not a Hu!"
With a loud shout, he pounced on Peter like a mad dog.
Fortunately, their men reacted at this moment and rushed forward together.
The two groups of people hurriedly pulled the two grown men apart, fearing that someone might die.
These two are both big shots. If something happens to them, their subordinates will be the first to suffer.
Hu Mingfu, who was injured, was trembling with anger but did not rush forward again.
After all, he's a person of importance; he still needs to save face.
"Peter, you mad dog, this isn't over yet, you just wait!"
Peter brushed the dust off his clothes, his face also looking unwell.
"Hmph, it's you who doesn't play by the rules! If my business goes under, I'll fight you to the death!"
The two stopped fighting, but started exchanging words again.
The two exchanged insults for a full five minutes before finally stopping.
Su Wu watched silently the whole time, which was quite an eye-opener.
This truly exemplifies the saying "a gentleman uses words, not fists."
Only after Hu Mingfu left in a fit of rage did Peter Ma greet Ivy and the others with deep regret.
After Su Wu's hint, Ivy threw a tantrum and left with her people.
This made Peter Ma very embarrassed.
He turned to Su Wu for help, "Xiao Wu, we can't let this deal fall through!"
"Don't worry, Brother Ma, it's not a big problem. After all, it's only 200 million US dollars, not much," Su Wu said with a smile, trying to reassure him.
Peter Ma relented upon hearing this, his face filled with indignation.
"That Hu Mingfu is just here to stir up trouble, he's despicable!"
"Did he know we were here today?"
Hearing his words, Su Wu showed a puzzled expression.
Peter Ma gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, Hu Mingfu has always been cunning, so it's not surprising that he would do something like this. But this time he miscalculated and actually helped me out."
There's a story behind it?
Upon hearing this, Su Wu felt that Peter Ma was implying something else entirely.
Peter patted him on the shoulder and gave him a mysterious smile.
"Xiao Wu, isn't Huachao Computer also backed by HK investment?"
"Yes, so what?"
"Hehehe, I've done a lot for China, and now that Ivy has seen it, if you put in a good word for me, the deal will be done, right?"
Su Wu was completely confused and his eyes widened in disbelief.
This works?
Is this another way of looking at things?
Peter gave him little chance to react, and smiled smugly.
"Don't worry, things have really blown up now, and those old foxes who were watching in the shadows will have to give an explanation. There will be a result soon regarding your matter with Huachao."
Seeing his confidence, Su Wu didn't say much.
As a result, within three days, Peter brought good news.
There's been a resolution to the Huachao Computer issue.
Simply put, the Hu family will no longer pay attention to Huachao Computer, but Su Wu will have to pay a price.
The most critical issue was that Su Wu expanded too quickly, and there were indeed many problems that he didn't have time to solve.
The companies he acquired all had numerous unresolved problems, which put him in a passive position.
If you're wrong, you have to admit it, no matter what the reason is.
Su Wu did not shirk his responsibility and accepted the final outcome.
Because of the Li family's existence, Huachao was exempted from some penalties, but it needs to pay an additional 100 million dragon coins for the Huachao Building.
This is in order to indirectly balance other aspects of the relationship.
Of course, things don't end there.
Huachao Computer also encountered new business opportunities, requiring the acquisition of two computer companies that were on the verge of collapse.
Peter did not hide this from him.
"Xiao Wu, if we follow the proper procedures, Huachao Computer will have to be rectified for at least a year and a half and will have to pay hundreds of millions in fines. You should be aware of that."
"I see."
"That's good. Let's leave the 100 million aside; with the current market value of the Huachao Building, you won't lose much. Let me tell you about those two companies."
"Brother Ma, please feel free to speak your mind."
"One of these companies is related to the Li family, and the other is related to the Hu family. Since your company needs them, let's acquire them as a package deal for 500 million."
Is this considered forced buying and selling?
"Calculate."
Su Wu retorted without hesitation, but Peter Ma answered even more bluntly.
This made Su Wu very unhappy.
Why would he acquire two worthless companies?
Isn't Peter Ma setting him up?
Just as he was about to question him, Peter immediately began to explain.
"Xiao Wu, I know you must be upset right now. Let me explain. The Hu family's company was indeed a bargaining chip they wanted to use to shift the blame, but our Li family absolutely did not intend to cheat you."
"Sigh, to be honest with you, these two companies are basically shell companies that live off imports. If it weren't for the current policy of supporting domestic products, they could have survived for several more years."
"Although these two companies are practically defunct, they still handle a significant amount of official business, and the annual volume in this area is substantial—it's definitely a lucrative business. Our Li family is simply going along with the flow and intends to pass these businesses on to you."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu's eyes lit up.
If we're talking about where the demand for computers is highest in China right now, it's undoubtedly in official business.
If this business can sustain the company, it will indeed be of great significance to the development of Huachao Computer.
Domestic production of hardware and software—isn't that Su Wu's ultimate goal?
This is absolutely necessary for him to launch truly domestically produced computers in the future.
Similarly, official business can also have a very good advertising effect.
As Peter Ma said, they did not harm Su Wu.
This is probably the result of their power struggle with the Hu family.
Just as Su Wu was pondering, Peter gave him another piece of good news.
"To compensate you, we've secured an order for a million units for you. It's up to you whether you can handle it."
