In the office of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ming Pao Newspapers Limited.
The martial arts master Jin Yong was enthusiastically talking about his experiences in China with his partners.
"Abao! China is truly different now. That leader is truly courageous. I believe that reform and opening up will surely allow the impoverished and weak China to stand up again."
Jin Daxia had just returned from China, his face full of excitement. This was his second trip to China. Compared to what he had seen and heard in the previous two years, there had been earth-shaking changes. Deep down, he was full of confidence in China's reform and opening-up policy.
"That's hard to say. No one can be sure that China will continue to reform and open up. After all, there have been precedents of policies changing from one day to the next."
Shen Baoxin took a sip of tea and expressed no comment. This was also the inner thought of the vast majority of people in Hong Kong at present. Everyone was afraid of another storm and losing everything in the end.
“I believe it won’t happen…”
“If we don’t address issues like an incomplete legal system and inadequate institutions, it will be difficult to dispel investors’ doubts…”
“...........”
The two chatted for a while, then received an envelope handed to them by their subordinates. After reading it, they were so angry that they started cursing.
"It's absolutely outrageous and shameless. Delicious Duck actually uses gutter oil, an industrial waste product. I'm sure Maxim's and Fairwood are doing the same. I used to praise these two Chinese restaurant giants. Ugh..."
Jin Daxia was so angry that his face turned red. He felt nauseous when he looked at the photo in his hand which was full of filthy food residues. When he thought about the fact that he had eaten at the Maxim's restaurant, he wanted to vomit out all the food he had eaten before.
"Wozhi Luo Yongbo and his entire family actually used gutter oil. Did a dog eat their conscience?"
There was anger in Shen Baoxin's eyes behind his glasses. When he thought about the Chinese meal he had at Cafe de Coral just last week, he wanted to kill Luo Yongbo's entire family.
"Abao! Immediately notify the editorial department and try to produce a manuscript today. We must expose Delicious Duck's crimes as soon as possible."
"No problem, I'll try to release it tomorrow."
When the office was empty, Jin Daxia picked up the photo of the Fragrant Duck Food Processing Factory again. A glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and a young figure emerged in his mind. He muttered to himself:
"I guess you're the one who did this! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Business competition is truly unstoppable. This is probably your counterattack. I'll lend you a helping hand then."
...............
The next day.
Newspaper and bookstores across Hong Kong were packed with people.
The news published by Ming Pao caused an uproar among everyone.
The news that Delicious Duck used gutter oil spread like a hurricane to every corner of Hong Kong.
Angry Hong Kong citizens flocked to the Delicious Duck shop to seek justice, and some hot-tempered citizens even resorted to violence.
As time went by, under the irrefutable evidence reported, all the stores of Xiangjiang Delicious Duck were closed by the Food Regulatory Bureau, and its food processing plant was also sealed off.
The two Chinese restaurants, Maxim's and Fairwood, were not spared and were both smashed and looted by angry Hong Kong citizens. The shops that were once crowded with people became deserted in an instant.
At this time, he was in a mansion on the Peak in Hong Kong.
The Luo family, a low-key wealthy family, is holding an emergency meeting.
"Yongbo! Look at what you've done! I've always said that when making food, one must be true to one's conscience. How could you be so heartless as to use gutter oil?"
Luo Shengxiang almost vomited blood when he heard the news. Maxim's was founded by him, and now it is facing such a serious food crisis. He is afraid that it will be destroyed. How can he not be heartbroken?
"Dad! I have no choice! Fragrant Duck already has the first-mover advantage. If we want to seize the market as quickly as possible, we can only save costs. Besides, you are also responsible for the current situation. If you had wiped out Mo Zhexuan's family, how could we be in this situation today..."
Luo Yongbo is also very anxious now, but he hates Ming Pao newspaper even more, and even more so Mo Zhexuan, the mastermind behind the scenes. There is no need to guess, he knows it was the other party's doing.
“Bang!”
Luo Shengxiang raised his arm and slapped him hard. His old face turned red with anger. Luo Yongbo saw stars and couldn't believe it.
"Second brother! Now is not the time to blame Yongbo since it has already happened. Let's find a way to solve it!"
Luo Fangxiang on the side hurried to persuade them. Although they had conflicts over their own interests in the past, they had always been united in the face of foreign enemies.
"Second brother! Calm down. Even though Yongbo's actions were certainly wrong, he also wanted Delicious Duck to gain momentum as quickly as possible. Now that things have already happened, we should find a way to resolve them. Otherwise, if we truly lose the Chinese food market, the losses will be huge."
Vitasoy's founder, Lo Kwee-Sang, also advised that the three brothers had actually separated many years after their father's death, but after all, they were connected by bones, and the life-and-death struggles between Maxim's and Fairwood were actually completely false.
On the one hand, full of competition can help everyone make progress, and on the other hand, it can also suppress other competitors and allow the family to monopolize the Chinese food market in Hong Kong.
"I never thought that little bastard Mo Zhexuan would become so powerful. If I had known earlier, I should have eradicated him. Now he has become a serious threat to me. It's really a misstep that will bring eternal regret."
Luo Shengxiang is now regretting his decision to the point of his intestines turning green. He hates himself for not being more ruthless and using the gangs under him to eradicate Mo Minghua and his son. Otherwise, there would not be the disaster today.
"Now that Mo Zhexuan has become a powerful figure, we should find a way to resolve this food crisis as soon as possible!"
What Luo Guixiang is thinking about now is whether he will be implicated. As for the life and death of the two brothers, he no longer holds any hope. Mo Zhexuan is now a real top Chinese tycoon. He is not only rich, but also has a wide network of contacts. How can he fight with others?
After learning that Luo Shengxiang and Mo Zhexuan had a conflict, I advised him to reconcile with Mo Zhexuan as soon as possible, but it didn't work. Now that he is facing such a crisis, who can he blame for being retaliated against?
After discussing for over an hour, they still couldn't come up with a complete solution. Faced with overwhelming evidence, all explanations were pale and powerless.
In the end, Luo Shengxiang and his son, and Luo Fangxiang and his son had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. They each held a press conference to deny the facts, while making up excuses and suing Ming Pao in an attempt to confuse the public.
