Quiet!
Everyone sensed an unprecedented silence in the business world. Unlike yesterday's cheers, this deathly silence concealed a terrifying undercurrent that could devour people.
For several days in a row, people noticed that some bigwigs from the hometown association, such as Master Jin, Boss Shi, and Qian Zhongnan, were borrowing money from people everywhere, even tens of thousands of yuan, which was very unusual.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Even if there were, Zou Xiongfei wouldn't allow the news to stay secret. A week passed quickly, and the business community in Baiyuan City began to stir with unease.
Many people's cash flow is starting to tighten, especially those who have lent money to others. Small factories are now struggling to maintain their cash flow.
In the end, Zou Xiongfei, through the words of some people, announced that the "Big Dairy Cow" project had failed and that the money would be returned in full after the New Year.
Almost simultaneously, the banks issued loan collection bills to these companies, a death sentence was laid out for them. When everyone received these two pieces of news, they almost burst into tears.
After they finished crying, they all suddenly remembered one person: Mr. Weng!
The hotel room was surrounded by people, all yelling for Lu Feng to get out. Everyone was venting their emotions on Lu Feng, and some were even kicking the door wildly, wanting him to die with them.
Inside the room, Bai Yuanfang listened to the commotion outside, completely disoriented. She looked at Lu Feng and said, "None of this has anything to do with you. They should go find Zou Xiongfei. Tell them that you're just Zou Xiongfei's pawn."
Lu Feng had long anticipated this day. He said calmly, "I am Zou Xiongfei's gun, used to control the fellow-townsmen association. I am your gun, used to seize Zhongnan Food Factory. Now I am Qian Zhongnan's gun, used to help him swallow up other factories. I am also Jin Sanye's gun..."
Lu Feng never said the final words, "I am also my own gun, paving a solid backing for Jiaming Foods."
Lu Feng opened the door, and the angry crowd rushed in. Some even tried to fight. Bai Yuanfang screamed, and the scene was chaotic.
Lu Feng stood on the bedside table, looking at all the people around him, and shouted, "Shut your mouths if you don't want to go bankrupt!"
Instantly, there was complete silence; everyone stared at him in a daze.
Looking at these people, Lu Feng knew what Zou Xiongfei wanted. Even if it was just acquiring the raw material processing plant here, it would still be on his turf, a big gift to make things easier in the future.
“Some of you used to hang out with Master Jin, some with Boss Shi or Boss Qian. In the hometown association, there were locals and outsiders. Now that such a big thing has happened, have they ever cared about you?”
Lu Feng shouted sternly, "No, they only care about their own factory, and they even want to swallow you whole. Think about it, how did Zuo Weimin die? Is it just a coincidence? How much is going on here? How dark is it?"
Everyone's face was filled with shock, and they were all stunned. Only one person reacted and shouted, "Isn't it you who caused us to get to where we are today?"
"Yes, give us our money back."
"Don't even think about leaving until you pay back the money."
"You're a liar, you're not from the White Rabbit Group at all."
"fraud!"
"Quiet! Quiet!" Lu Feng, holding a slipper, kept banging on the wall and shouted, "I didn't lie to you. I really am from the White Rabbit Group. The Big Milk Cow project is so big, how could I lie to you? But there's been a problem, and we need to think it over carefully. Do you think we can bankrupt you? Impossible. Secretary Zou is a very good person. He patiently explained to me that the local bank has prepared relief funds and even established a local chamber of commerce. Go find him, and everything will be a small problem."
The group was somewhat suspicious. They weren't good at dealing with people like that. In the past, these kinds of things were handled by Master Jin and Boss Shi, who represented their interests on their behalf.
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true. If it's fake, you can come back and beat me up later, right?" Lu Feng threw the slipper in his hand on the ground and kept assuring everyone.
The crowd slowly dispersed and flocked towards the municipal office. Zou Xiongfei had been waiting for this day for a long time, and naturally, he solved everyone's problems with a smile on his face.
After everyone left, the carpet in the room was trampled into a mess. Lu Feng stood barefoot on the floor, plopped down on the bedside table, and sneered, "Zou Xiongfei should treat me to dinner, and a big one at that. That money belongs to these people. He gave it to them as loans, and they are grateful. He wins their hearts and minds, and he even charges interest. How many suckers like that can you find in the whole world?"
Bai Yuanfang stared at him coldly, recalling the scenes from just now. She suddenly couldn't understand this college student in front of her. There were so many twists and turns in his life that she sometimes got confused, but he seemed to understand everything perfectly.
"Are you one of his people?" Bai Yuanfang asked.
"who?"
“Zou Xiongfei, I suspect that when you were assigned your job, you were actually assigned to Baiyuan City,” Bai Yuanfang said suspiciously.
"How is that possible!"
"Then how do you know so much?"
"That's exactly what he wants. He wants a relaxed business environment in Baiyuan City, with free market competition. You know, if you buy goods from Jin Sanye's factory and find them too expensive, unless you switch to one of Shi Zong's factories, the prices will be the same. In fact, Shi Zong's prices will be the same too. They've monopolized the market, which is illegal!"
"Arrest them if they break the law!"
"Arrest them?" Lu Feng laughed, looking at Bai Yuanfang and thinking she was naive. He found some slippers, put them on, and said, "After arresting them, are you going to bankrupt so many factories? How many jobs will be affected? These are the pillar industries of the local economy! The country encourages private enterprises, and state-owned enterprises are undergoing reforms. You're arresting private enterprises? You can't explain it to your superiors, and you can't explain it to your subordinates either!"
