Chapter 156: Dogs can guard the gate; what can you do?

In the following days, Hong Bo ran around and secured these several factories.

The contract was settled.

He then hurriedly took Li Yihu to buy bricks.

He wanted to build up those empty factories before the year's end.

Even if the furniture factory's business is poor, it can serve as a branch of the lumber yard; either way, there will be no loss.

Moreover,

With a boss like Li Jiaci who can shoulder work and get things done, what's there to worry about the furniture factory not opening?

The heavy snow arrived as soon as it was said.

Some poorly performing factories announced early year-end holidays.

Only Shiqiang Lumber Yard remained bustling, with people coming and going.

Zhang Chuqiang brought the car fleet to unload the logs, then immediately followed Hong Bo to haul bricks.

The middlemen waiting outside the gate, seeing this scene, all cast envious glances.

"I feel like the car fleet has grown considerably again."

"Have you heard? Those abandoned factories in the north were bought by someone a few days ago!"

"Heh, look at Lao Ban's car fleet busy like this—hauling timber and dragging bricks—surely he bought them!"

"Those few branches aren't enough for him to make money?"

"Maybe Lao Ban has other plans!"

……

A crowd of people chatted noisily.

Wang Zong stood at the gate with a grim face, puffing on one cigarette after another.

He had long guessed Li Jiaci's plan.

After monopolizing the lumber industry, Li Jiaci now wants to monopolize the furniture business as well!

Leave them with no business at all!

Thinking of this, Wang Zong became furious beyond measure.

"Damn it!"

"One lumber industry isn't enough for you to make a living!"

"You actually want to snatch my rice bowl!"

"Hmph, not that easy!"

Wang Zong is currently the leader of the furniture industry.

Under his name alone, he owns five or six furniture factories, and even holds shares in the city's furniture market.

If Li Jiaci wants to compete with him for business, that's tantamount to driving him to a dead end.

A person driven to desperation.

What can't they do?

Wang Zong exhaled a puff of smoke, impatiently asking Liu Jiang: "How much longer until we get the goods? Dragging your feet—are we still doing business or not?"

Hearing this, Liu Jiang gave him a casual glance.

"Wang Zong, you're saying..."

"We ship according to schedule; it's not yet time to ship!"

"Or maybe your watch is out of sync with ours!"

"Is time moving faster for you than for us?"

Wang Zong felt a fire stuck in his throat.

He stepped forward and kicked the iron gate.

Clang!

Liu Jiang hadn't said anything yet.

That big black dog immediately became unhappy.

Charging to the iron gate, it bared its teeth at Wang Zong and let out a few threatening growls.

"Wooh..."

Under its fierce assault, the iron chain was about to snap.

Without that chain, the big black dog lunging onto the gate and leaping over would be a piece of cake.

Wang Zong felt his heart pounding with anxiety.

Especially seeing that big black dog's vicious glare at him, it clearly meant it wanted to bite him to death.

The middlemen around them chatted noisily.

Liu Jiang, not wanting to cause trouble, turned and shouted at the big black dog: "What's with the ferocity? Get back to your kennel!"

The big black dog listens well to the words of Li Jiaci and his brothers.

It wagged its tail and barked fiercely at Wang Zong a few times.

Only then did it step by step retreat back to its doghouse.

Those few barks of theirs were hardly different from a tiger's roar.

Only the distance of sound transmission differed.

Wang Zong gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

But.

In front of so many people, even if he was afraid, he couldn't show it.

He still has to pretend to be fine.

Otherwise, if it gets out, what face will he have left?

Wang Zong paused, his spirit stalled.

He regained his earlier impatient expression.

"Liu Jiang, how can you not even control a dog?"

"If this pup doesn't want to live, tell me sooner!"

"I knocked it out with a stick and brought it back!"

"Let's make a dog meat hot pot!"

Liu Jiang heard this.

The anger that had been about to be suppressed flared up again.

He slapped the iron door with his palm, glaring, and asked: "What did you just say?"

"Damn, are you deaf?"

"I told you to take care of this pup!"

"If you can't manage it, I'll beat it to death!"

"Cut it into eight pieces and throw it into the hot pot!"

"You heard that clearly this time?"

Wang Zong strode forward with a ruthless pace, shouting a few lines.

Liu Jiang gave a low chuckle: "Fine, that's what you said!"

"What do you want?"

Wang Zong's gaze wavered as he looked at him.

Actually, by now he could barely hold on.

Who doesn't know that Li Jiaci used to be a street tough?

Which of his brothers is easy to provoke?

He gets taken to the police station every few days.

He's almost treating the police station as his home!

But face is important!

Wang Zong glanced sideways at the nearby petty traders.

He simply refused to lower his head.

Liu Jiang didn't indulge him either.

He directly brought the big black dog forward, bent down, and undid the iron chain around its neck.

Clatter.

The iron chain fell to the ground.

The big black dog shuddered a few times in place.

The dog's head shook with a slapping sound.

Then after that.

It then stepped back a few steps, eyed the height atop the iron door, and leapt up in one jump.

Surrounding cries erupted.

Wang Zong was also frightened by this scene and dared not move.

He feared that if he moved even a bit, the big black dog would see it as a provocation and pounce, biting him to death.

"Ugh..."

The big black dog emitted a threatening sound from its mouth.

Liu Jiang said to Wang Zong: "Since you're so eager for a bite, I'll be generous this once and bring Blacky to you!"

"No need to be that generous..."

Wang Zong's body stiffened.

In the heavy snow, his cold sweat kept dripping down.

The sensible ones had already fled back into the car.

Wang Zong also wanted to run.

But his legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move his steps at all.

Liu Jiang asked: "Then do you still want to eat the dog meat hot pot?"

"No... I don't want to eat it!"

Wang Zong's speech was stuttering.

Then Liu Jiang let out a snort of laughter.

Only then did he shout at the big black dog: "All right, Blacky, come down!"

The big black dog leapt down accordingly, jumped to Liu Jiang's side, and shook its head.

At this moment.

Wang Zong seemed to have had the seal lifted.

He plopped down onto the ground with a thud.

As if seeing a ghost in reality, he scrambled backward in a panic, using his hands and feet.

Liu Jiang stroked the big black dog's head and said with a smile: "This dog is our factory's precious little gem; if anyone dares to have designs on it, whatever fate befalls the dog will befall that person!"

"A pup is more precious than a person?"

Wang Zong was surprised.

Eh, you're right!

It's more precious than some people!

Some people are not even as good as being born!

Liu Jiang got up close and went all out.

Just then, Zhao Chen walked over.

Wang Zong jumped up and said, "You manage your factory people—how are you speaking to customers like this?"

Zhao Chen heard everything that just happened here.

He sniffed and shrugged his shoulders.

If you don't want to listen, you can find someone else to cooperate with!

Wang Zong's face was twisted with anger.

These hooligan kids...

They're practically asking for death!
