Just as Wan Feng guessed, Shengguang Company was indeed a company with official corruption characteristics and run by people within the system.
Moreover, they have a great background. This consortium not only has people from other places, but also includes big figures in Heihe City.
Although on the surface the man named Zhang Donglai is the operator, the real person at the helm is the son-in-law of a leader of Heihe People's Congress.
The worst thing is that they and Qu Yang are not from the same faction.
"That person is the mayor's right-hand man. If there's any discrepancy, it'll be difficult to handle. This side is also very stressful."
There were some things Qu Yang was not comfortable saying, so he stopped there.
Wan Feng also understood.
It is not news that the top and second-in-command of a city are at odds with each other.
Qu Yang meant to warn Wan Feng to be careful, as if something went wrong, it would be very difficult to resolve. The pressure on this side meant it would be difficult to find someone to help him, meaning Wan Feng shouldn't count on the people on this side to help him solve any problems.
"Teacher! I understand. I will be careful."
After returning to the base with Qu Yang, Wan Feng thought for a long time. After much deliberation, he decided to gather his confidants for a meeting in the evening to listen to everyone's opinions.
Those attending the meeting included Chen Dao, Zhang Zhiyuan, Han Guangjia, Yang Jianguo, Han Meng and Li Yong.
He Xiao and Li Mingdou had no experience in this kind of thing and could not offer any suggestions if they were called, so Wan Feng did not call them.
Zhang Xian and Zheng Song also did not attend for the same reason.
Originally, Wan Feng wanted to call Zhang Shiqian over, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Even if I get squeezed out, he will get along well with the next customer, so there's no need to call him.
Strictly speaking, he and Zhang Shiqian were using each other, and Zhang Shiqian did not belong to his direct line.
Zhao Gang was on duty and patrol outside and did not appear here.
As for Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao, they are not qualified to attend.
"Our company is facing a very difficult problem right now. I've been thinking about it for a long time and I'm a little undecided, so I've called everyone here to discuss it."
Then Wan Feng recounted the situation in detail.
"Nothing has happened yet. Maybe it's just normal business competition." Zhang Zhiyuan started by throwing out some ideas.
Wan Feng shook his head. "It's not that simple. If they didn't have official backing, that would be normal business competition. But now that they have this kind of backing, it's hard to say. Judging from their actions over the past two days, their goal is clearly to squeeze us out and monopolize the market. Their price hikes over the past two days are a warning to us."
"Warning?" Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo asked in confusion.
"They probably don't bother to talk to us, but are using this method to tell us to get out of here and stop blocking their financial path. That's what they mean."
"Is it that serious?" Chen Dao also interjected.
"Haha, if we don't make any moves in the next few days, just wait and see. The police station, the epidemic prevention station, and even the forest fire prevention station will come to join in the fun."
"Sanitation, epidemic prevention, and forest fire prevention? What are they doing here?"
"What are they doing? Checking whether the food is expired, whether it's from a legitimate manufacturer, and whether there are any fire hazards. They're always looking for excuses to accuse someone of something. I've seen all the punishments they've got: fines, deadlines for rectification, and even the worst cases, closing the place and confiscating the goods."
"It's so serious!" Han Meng exclaimed.
What's the point of playing if the door is closed?
"Then what should we do?" Li Yong asked.
"Yeah, what should we do?"
"The easiest way is for us to just get up and leave, so I want to hear everyone's opinions." Wan Feng said self-deprecatingly.
There was silence in the room for several minutes.
Most people lit up cigarettes, even Wan Feng, who didn't usually smoke, lit one.
"We have finally achieved this situation, how can we leave so easily? Isn't this the same as us conquering the country and letting someone else become the emperor?" Chen Dao was the first to break the silence, but there were still many remnants of feudal ideas in his head.
"But if we don't leave, there will be a lot of trouble." Wan Feng said helplessly.
Han Meng slammed the table and stood up: "There's no need to be afraid of trouble. If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. I don't believe that we ordinary people will not be allowed to live!"
"Yes! We have overcome difficulties before, and we can overcome them this time as well!" Li Yong also expressed his opinion.
"Brother, you decide how to do it. I'll listen to you." Yang Jianguo, who has always been calm, also became emotional.
Wan Feng looked at Han Guangjia and Chen Dao.
Chen Daohan Guangjia nodded.
"Since everyone has decided not to retreat, then let's hold on. It is said that the people do not fight against the officials. This time I want to see what will happen." With the support of these people, Wan Feng was also a little excited.
He was reluctant to give up tens of millions of profits a month.
Although he knew that retreating was the wisest option in this situation, there were plenty of opportunities to make money and there was no need to worry about it overnight.
But the other party's behavior was a bit inhumane. It was obvious that they looked down on him!
It is said that people die for money, and this time I also want to experience this feeling.
After all, Zhang Zhiyuan has worked in the system, so he did not rush to express his opinion but spoke calmly.
"Everyone, calm down. Now that we've decided not to desert, what precautions should we take?"
Wan Feng has already thought about what to do.
"Brother Yang, tomorrow you take Wang Yufeng and the other two to the local police station to greet these five people and get them a certificate or something, so they don't give people a reason to accuse you of being of unknown origin."
"Okay! That's not a problem."
"We're afraid we'll face some harassment from inspection departments in the coming days. So, starting tomorrow, Brother Han, you and the other guys will clean up every last inch of the base. Even if the health and epidemic prevention and forest fire prevention officials come, we won't give them any excuse to cause trouble. Of course, we can't do anything if they make things up. Also, no matter how they come and make things difficult for us, we must greet them with a smile. Even if we have to swallow our anger, we must avoid any conflict with them, not even verbal ones."
Wan Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it at that for now and see what happens. Everyone go back. Brother Yang, you stay for a while."
Except for Yang Jianguo, the rest of the people left.
"Where is Qi Hong now?"
"Ever since Jian Si fell to his death, his men have either been able to catch him or run away. Qi Hong is now working as a hostess in the ballroom."
"Call her over tomorrow, and tell Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao that from now on they'd better behave themselves and not do anything out of line."
"knew."
"alright."
After Yang Jianguo left, Wan Feng was the only one left in the room.
He stood in front of the window, looking at the dark night outside, for a long time.
