The other party is using an open strategy that is impossible to counter. If we lower our prices and engage in a price war with them, we're just waiting to die, as our capital can never compete with theirs.
Li Qiang and his team were very anxious, but Tang Ping didn't care at all. He was discussing the factory site selection with Wu Kun.
As per Tang Ping's request, Wu Kun helped him find two factories in Mang Village. One was closer to the village and had much better transportation, but the price was slightly higher.
The other location is near the port, but it has been abandoned in recent years due to the regulations of the Maritime Safety Administration. There are only a few small roads, and the factory buildings are relatively remote. Of course, the price is much cheaper, and the area is also larger.
Tang Ping went to the factory with Wu Kun for an on-site inspection, and the person in charge of receiving them was actually Li Youtian, the village committee director of Mang Village.
"Boss Tang, our Mang Village has a very good industrial base. Most of the fire protection factories in Jinghai City are located in our village. As long as you are willing to invest here, we can discuss any conditions. Our village will also offer many preferential policies. However, we hope that you can give priority to the villagers in terms of employment opportunities. Here are my conditions, what do you think?" Li Youtian introduced enthusiastically.
Tang Ping smiled and said, "Of course, that's no problem. I work with daily chemical products, so the assembly line work is relatively simple. In the future, we may expand and build an industrial park, with all sorts of supporting facilities. Director Li, please take good care of me then."
Upon hearing Tang Ping's rosy vision, Li Youtian exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, that's for sure! Our Mang Village warmly welcomes Boss Tang's investment. I, Li Youtian, on behalf of all the villagers of Mang Village, thank you, Boss Tang!"
The cooperation process was very pleasant, and Tang Ping naturally chose the factory that was closer to the port.
Although this place is very remote now, in a few years, when Qinghua District is developed and the highway is built, it will become a resort, and it will be packed with tourists coming to the seaside for vacation.
After having a good meal at the guesthouse in Mangcun, Tang Ping signed a contract with Mangcun to buy the entire factory site, along with some nearby plots of land.
The price was very cheap; it cost a total of 500,000.
With the factory in place, the next step is to introduce production line equipment and recruit professional engineers, factory managers, and other skilled personnel.
In this regard, Jinghai had relatively little experience, so Tang Ping naturally entrusted Zhao Wei to help scout out the way first.
Zhao Wei now drives a dedicated route to Shenzhen, where he has rented a house and only comes back a few times a month.
While Tang Ping's factory was operating at full speed, another incident occurred at the internet cafe.
A customer sought out a prostitute in the restroom of an internet cafe. Due to a dispute over payment, the prostitute called the police.
Because that customer was a pervert, after he finished, he actually let three of his friends take turns going in, four people in total, but only paid for one person's services. Of course, the prostitute was unhappy, so she called the police.
Tang Ping, as the owner of the internet cafe, was immediately summoned by the police. If things go wrong, the internet cafe could be classified as a place for prostitution.
Tang Ping was having a headache. Since the internet cafe opened, although he had made some money, troubles kept piling up. Sure enough, in this kind of entertainment venue, you couldn't make money without some social connections.
Lovers' Street is under the jurisdiction of the Jinghai Branch Bureau, but this case is not under the jurisdiction of Anxin. The police officer in charge is named Zhang Biao.
In the interrogation room, Zhang Biao's attitude was somewhat unfriendly as he asked, "Do you know Li Lu?"
"I don't know him," Tang Ping said, shaking his head.
"Really don't know me? I'm warning you, lying can have legal consequences."
Tang Ping was also a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, he still held back his patience and said, "Officer, I really don't know him."
Zhang Biao stared at Tang Ping with a strange look and shouted, "If she didn't know anyone, why would she do business in your internet cafe? Why doesn't she go to other internet cafes? Tang Ping, you'd better tell me honestly, does your internet cafe offer prostitution services?"
"Officer, my internet cafe business is doing just fine. I'd have to be crazy to do this kind of prostitution. Besides, they were doing it in the toilet, it was consensual, what could I do? I can't exactly put surveillance cameras in the toilet, can I? Even if you suspect me, you have to provide evidence. Did I take money or bribes?" Tang Ping said, clearly annoyed.
He had no responsibility for this matter, but Zhang Biao had gone crazy for some reason, treating him like a criminal, which made Tang Ping very uncomfortable.
Zhang Biao was instantly enraged. He stood up, threw a stack of files in front of Tang Ping, and glared at him, saying, "Who do you think you are? Would I have summoned you here without evidence? Witnesses, testimonies, isn't that enough? They've already testified that you're the boss in charge of prostitution transactions. What else do you have to say?"
Tang Ping glanced at it and immediately sneered, "Ridiculous. If this can be used as evidence, then can I also call them traitors and sellouts? Can I execute them?"
"You're just arguing for the sake of arguing! Tang Ping, right? I'm warning you, if you don't tell the truth, you'll regret it!" Zhang Biao said angrily.
What are you doing?
At this moment, Li Xiang walked in and reassured Zhang Biao, saying, "You go and take care of other cases first, leave this one to me."
Zhang Biao was still somewhat resentful. He glared at Tang Ping fiercely a few times before leaving.
"What happened?" Li Xiang asked after sitting down.
Tang Ping said angrily, "This is simply insane! Someone is soliciting prostitution in the toilet of my internet cafe. How am I supposed to prevent that? I can't exactly install a security camera in the toilet, can I? This Zhang Biao is like a mad dog, insisting on pinning the blame on me. Officer Li, I've always just wanted to do honest business. Do you think I would resort to such crooked means?"
“I know, I know. We’ve known each other for a while now, and I know you’re not that kind of person. But since this happened in your internet cafe, as the legal representative, you still bear some responsibility. Especially those customers, they insisted that you provided the solicitation information and that you were in cahoots with the prostitute to deliberately swindle their money.”
"I'm so damn angry!"
Tang Ping was furious and cursed.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Don't act impulsively about this. Think carefully about whether you've offended anyone recently. There's nothing you can do if someone deliberately frames you like this. Also, Zhang Biao's attitude is probably not your fault. Zhang Biao was originally in charge of Huang Cuicui's case, but he didn't find anything. Now it's in An Xin's hands, and there are some leads. It's normal for him to be angry. Please be more understanding."
So it was because of Anxin!
No wonder Zhang Biao seemed to be holding back his anger and deliberately venting it on me.
In the Jinghai branch, An Xin, Zhang Biao, and Li Xiang are all Cao Shuang's apprentices. However, An Xin is envied by many people because he has An Changlin and Meng Dehai behind him. Zhang Biao is one of them.
