Chapter 1335 - 1335: Passing On the Secret Tips

"There are many ways to break the stalemate, but they generally fall into two categories." Xiao Feng laughed, extending two fingers.

Bai Huanyu replied, "Allow me to guess, the two methods Mr. Xiao mentioned—first, should be to unite with Jiangcheng's local enterprises and work together.

The second should be to first break through one point, after breaking the blockade, gradually revive the situation.

Did I guess right?"

"Exactly." Xiao Feng nodded slightly, "Besides, we can talk to He Qizheng once, and when meeting him, there's no need to be so polite.

It's even okay to be a bit tougher.

Given the current situation, only those who are not afraid to die are fit to live!"

"A tough attitude, specifically referring to?" Bai Tieniu asked, puzzled.

Xiao Feng chuckled slightly, "It's simple, we can make it clear to him, tell him if he doesn't restrain himself, we'll go to Kyoto together to file a complaint.

Truthfully report the market environment in Jiangcheng, which has been filled with malignant competition recently."

"This..." Bai Tieniu was startled, "If we do that, aren't we also finished?"

Xiao Feng asked calmly, "If we don't do this, can we escape unscathed?"

Bai Tieniu was at a loss for words, opening his mouth several times but unable to speak.

"During extraordinary times, we need to use extraordinary means." Xiao Feng's tone was bland, "Since they're not letting us live, then we'll all die together!

Break through the heavens, everyone will be exposed to the sunlight.

Moreover, taking such action doesn't necessarily mean there's no way out.

When it is pursued, we can easily say we were forced by circumstances to form alliances and jointly resist He Qizheng's business coalition."

After hearing this speech, Bai Huanyu looked at Xiao Feng with a complex expression, feeling a sense of camaraderie...

He had thought of this desperate, doomsday approach before coming here.

But he couldn't say it as casually as the other party.

Then he heard Xiao Feng continue, "If Mr. Bai has no objections, let's negotiate with He Qizheng as I suggested.

No matter the outcome, first put out the attitude and test the waters."

"Alright." Bai Huanyu nodded in agreement.

Bai Tieniu remained silent. Until this moment, he realized the gap between himself and Xiao Feng.

Could he really not come up with the solutions the other party suggested?

After all, it wasn't a matter of not daring to think, but rather unwilling to think.

But in front of the trend, unwillingness and fear of thinking don't mean it won't happen.

So... I must continue to practice!

At this moment, Bai Huanyu picked up his wine glass, but before speaking, the phone on the table lit up and then vibrated with a buzzing sound.

He looked down, put down his wine glass, and said to Bai Tieniu, "Tie Niu, accompany Mr. Xiao to eat and drink, I'll take a call."

With that, he got up and left his seat.

Bai Tieniu nodded in agreement, raised his glass to Xiao Feng, then tapped the bottom of the glass on the table.

Xiao Feng, smiling, mirrored the gesture, without looking at Bai Huanyu leaving to answer the call.

Although he didn't know who was calling, he roughly guessed the content of the phone call.

Shortly, Bai Huanyu returned to his seat, with a tinge of doubt in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Feng.

Just now, someone from his camp called, saying their shop had been scammed and the opposite party was spreading rumors.

Now the police are involved and asked him to help smooth things over and resolve the trouble.

Bai Huanyu immediately thought of Zhao Zhehai's previous call, and thus inquired about the appearance of the scammers.

The information received described two elderly women around seventy years old.

Zhao Zhehai's side were two old men, and this side two old women, there's no way these two incidents are unrelated, Bai Huanyu wouldn't believe it.

And the mastermind behind...

Clearly, Xiao Feng sitting beside him is the most suspicious.

With this realization, Bai Huanyu soon had an idea.

He laughed twice before speaking to Xiao Feng, "I don't know what's going on these days, several friends encountered scammers, really strange."

"Nothing strange about it, where there are good people, there are bad people.

In cases of scams, one mustn't be soft-hearted, take it to court if necessary, refuse private settlements even if they're troublesome!" Xiao Feng declared righteously.

Bai Tieniu nodded in agreement, "Absolutely, people like this shouldn't be coddled!"

Bai Huanyu couldn't help but wonder, am I overthinking this?

In fact, if it were simple scams, he wouldn't have thought so deeply.

The main issue was scams plus rumors, clearly malicious, giving the impression that the scam's main purpose wasn't for money, but for public influence.

For businessmen, unless monopolized, a stained reputation can be fatal.

Take Xiao Feng's Original Heart Pill, for example, if there is competition, then that slanderous message previously posted in the group, wouldn't have such a small impact.

"Mr. Xiao, since we have an appointment to negotiate with He Qizheng, what time would be good?" Bai Huanyu set aside his doubts, focusing on the immediate challenge.

Xiao Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, then replied, "In my opinion, let's go with..."

Before finishing the sentence, Bai Huanyu's phone on the table buzzed again.

"Excuse me."

Bai Huanyu picked up the phone and left the table again.

Xiao Feng smiled, knowing this is just the beginning.

He picked up chopsticks, continued eating and drinking, as long as it wasn't his headache.

Bai Huanyu was away for twenty minutes.

During this time, he attempted to return to his seat several times, but was repeatedly interrupted by calls.

"Why don't we continue our conversation over the phone, Mr. Bai seems quite busy, we have a general plan anyway, just need to confirm the negotiation time."

Xiao Feng took out a napkin, wiped his mouth, looking ready to leave.

"Wait!" Bai Tieniu quickly stood up to block him, glancing at his father who was not far away having a call.

He was indeed perplexed, unsure what his father's plan was.

Since Xiao Feng entered the room, the discussion took only half the time, and the other half was spent on calls, leaving him to awkwardly chat at the dining table with Xiao Feng.

Could it be a test?

Bai Tieniu was uncertain, but knew he couldn't let Xiao Feng leave just like this.

So, he actively found a topic, "Mr. Xiao is surrounded by beauties, each one of them possessing both looks and talent, is there a secret to it?"

He winked, giving an "you know" smile.

Talking about women among men is never wrong anyway.

Xiao Feng pondered while rubbing his chin, then smiled broadly, "There's a secret, but it's not easily shared."

After speaking, he rubbed his thumb between his index and middle fingers.

Bai Tieniu naturally understood the gesture's meaning, glanced at his father still on the phone, then gritted his teeth, "Alright, to learn the secret, I'll go for it!

Name your price!"

Xiao Feng held up one finger, "One million, won't be a loss, won't be a scam."

Bai Tieniu's mouth twitched, he hesitated momentarily, then nodded in agreement.

He had to admit, there was an element of gambling.

He believed if he truly learned the secret and gathered a group of Xiao Feng's stunning beauties, the one million would be worth it.

After the transfer was completed, Xiao Feng beamed, "Hahaha, straightforward, the secret I usually don't pass to men or women, today I pass it to you!"

"..." Bai Tieniu.

Isn't this implying I'm neither man nor woman?
