Chapter 132

The meeting took place in the office of the factory's security department.

The man was in his thirties, not very tall, but exuded the sharp, imposing manner of a gang leader.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt popular in Hong Kong, and a large gold chain on his thick neck was particularly dazzling.

Wu Feng's first impression was: "Damn, is he imitating the dress of a triad boss from a Hong Kong movie?"

Behind him followed two strong young men with dragons and phoenixes tattooed on their arms, all carrying a ferocity Wu Feng was very familiar with.

However, compared to the dozen or so burly men standing or sitting behind Wu Feng, they were lacking in both momentum and presence.

When it came to putting on airs, there were few among all the Hong Kong triad bosses who were better than him!

"So you're the boss of this factory?"

The man was not polite at all, pulling up a chair and sitting down, looking at Wu Feng with a smile, "You're truly young and promising!"

"It's alright!"

Wu Feng said calmly, "I wonder what business Mr. Chen has with me?"

To be honest, he didn't have much patience for guys like this.

They all relied on having some strength to act recklessly; if he had built his success through his own hard work, Wu Feng would have had a bit more respect, but unfortunately, the guy opposite clearly wasn't that type.

Facing a Hong Kong businessman like Wu Feng, his attitude remained arrogant, full of confidence.

It wasn't that Hong Kong businessmen were superior, but the current environment gave them considerable confidence.

"Straightforward, I like people who are straightforward!"

Mr. Chen laughed and said directly, "I want to do a big business deal with your factory!"

"I'm not interested!"

Wu Feng refused directly, "The products in the factory have basically all been reserved!"

Bang!

Mr. Chen's face turned cold, and he slapped the desk, shouting angrily, "Wu, you're not giving me any face! It's already a sign of my sincerity that I came here in person!"

Clatter!

The burly men from the security department behind Wu Feng stood up one after another, looking at the three men opposite with unfriendly eyes.

The sharp aura they exuded was much stronger than that of the two young men; it was clear they had been on the battlefield.

"What, Wu, you dare to make a move?"

Mr. Chen sneered, unmoved, "Believe it or not, if I have even the slightest problem, you won't be able to leave this city!"

"I really don't believe it!"

Wu Feng's eyes were calm, and he said slowly, "Then let me see!"

Mr. Chen's face stiffened, his anger growing.

He did have ways to make things difficult for Wu Feng's factory, but he only dared to do it in the shadows.

He didn't have the guts to do it openly.

"Enough talk!"

Mr. Chen sneered, "I want all the arcade machines your factory produces!"

"According to the market price, 7,500 RMB per arcade machine; that's the price you sell them for outside!"

"We pay and deliver on the spot; that's a big enough deal, right!"

"Big my ass!"

Wu Feng laughed, "I earn Hong Kong dollars and US dollars outside; isn't that better?"

"Besides, who do you think you are, wanting to buy up all the arcade machines? Do you have that kind of financial strength? Don't act like a big shot in front of me!"

"Fine, fine, fine! You're choosing the hard way, aren't you!"

Mr. Chen was trembling with anger, clearly rarely having to swallow such insults, his face almost distorted.

Pointing at Wu Feng, he sneered, "I'm telling you, don't think you'll be able to ship anything out of your factory smoothly!"

"Just you?"

Wu Feng remained calm and indifferent, sneering, "I really don't believe it!"

"Heh, let's see how long you can keep acting tough!"

Mr. Chen stood up, glanced at Wu Feng coldly, and said dismissively, "You'll know the consequences soon!"

After speaking, he left with his two anxious underlings, walking away with long strides.

After they left, Chairman Liao came out from the side room, looking very embarrassed.

"Old Liao, there's no need for that; this has nothing to do with you!"

Wu Feng took the initiative to speak, smiling, "I asked you to come and listen just to be a witness!"

"What, you really want to make a big scene?"

Chairman Liao was startled and reminded him, "There's no need for that; I will explain the situation to the Pengcheng authorities!"

"Really, there's no need!"

Wu Feng said calmly, "I have my own ways. Is the tape ready?"

Under Chairman Liao's surprised gaze, a security department employee immediately walked over from the monitoring room, holding a freshly made videotape.

"This is?"

He had a bad premonition but asked subconsciously.

"The recording from the office just now!"

Wu Feng said with a smile, "I plan to send a copy to the Pengcheng authorities and other relevant departments, asking them to help look after my factory!"

Hiss...

Chairman Liao gasped, his scalp tingling at Wu Feng's crafty move. He didn't know what to say; this move was truly slick.

"Haha, I never put myself in danger; this is my style of doing things!"

Wu Feng laughed, "If I don't teach some people a profound lesson this time, they'll really think I'm made of mud, and that any stray cat or dog can come and take a bite!"

Seeing Chairman Liao still wanted to say something, he waved his hand directly, "Old Liao, don't get involved in this!"

"I haven't been stingy with the parts that should be given, but I don't allow outsiders to interfere with normal business. I have my own bottom line, and this crossed the line!"

"Also, that Mr. Chen acts so crudely and dares to come out and stir up trouble; it seems he hasn't done this kind of thing for the first time. This time, I'll teach him a good lesson!"

Wu Feng said very directly, "Technological progress isn't a joke. To dare to come here and act like a bully without even a shred of caution, I'll make him learn his lesson!"

Are you kidding? Hong Kong shopping malls have mature CCTV monitoring systems; how could Wu Feng ignore that? The security department office had them installed.

The cameras were also very obvious, but Mr. Chen probably only watched the exciting plot points of Hong Kong movies and didn't pay attention to certain details.

Unexpectedly, he performed quite well right under the camera.

If Wu Feng didn't make good use of it, he would really be sorry for his performance.

"Sigh, I won't get involved in this, just don't go too far!"

Chairman Liao saw this and didn't say much more, just shook his head and turned to leave, feeling quite unhappy himself, thinking it was good to make a scene.

Thus, this videotape was sent directly to the Pengcheng authorities and relevant departments, immediately causing a huge uproar.

Not long after Mr. Chen left Wu Feng's factory, he was invited to have tea with the relevant departments.

No one knew who was talking to him or what was said, but when he came out, Mr. Chen looked completely defeated. He left Pengcheng immediately, and at least for a year, he wouldn't dare to return.

Even the boss behind him received a stern warning!

Are you kidding? Wu Feng was absolutely the benchmark for Hong Kong businessmen in Pengcheng at this time!

The garment factory, the sneaker factory, and the arcade motherboard factory—just the workers alone numbered nearly five thousand!

The key was that the factory's output was almost entirely for export, contributing a considerable amount of foreign exchange to the Mainland.

In 1987, the Mainland's foreign exchange reserves were still not very abundant, and for any channel that could earn foreign exchange, not to mention local governments, even Beijing attached great importance to it.

Let's put it this way: Wu Feng's factories were even registered in Beijing.

Don't think the Mainland didn't know about the premium A-grade goods business he did in cooperation with Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin. Anyway, producing premium A-grade clothing and shoes in the Mainland wasn't illegal, and they even went through normal procedures when clearing customs.

It was only after leaving the country that the paths Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin took were a bit too wild, and it had nothing to do with the Mainland.

As the business grew larger, the amount of foreign exchange the Mainland could obtain became more and more.

Whether it was Pengcheng or Beijing, they wished there were as many such factories as possible.

Not to mention the arcade motherboard factory.

In this era, arcade motherboards were undeniably high-tech, and they could also be sold for money abroad.

It could even be said that the arcade motherboard factory was valued even more by all sides in the Mainland.

Anyone who wanted to mess with the arcade motherboard business was truly out of their mind.

Clearly, it was a great business that could earn foreign exchange through exports, but they were thinking of domestic sales to exchange for RMB—it was simply looking for trouble.

Small-time stuff was one thing, but they wanted to play big?

A few days ago, Wu Feng had reached a new cooperation agreement with Pengcheng, which was another factory area.

If things went well, the number of workers under Wu Feng alone could easily exceed ten thousand.

What kind of concept was that?

If Beijing invited a Hong Kong business delegation to visit, Wu Feng would definitely receive an invitation, and might even be looked upon favorably by the big shots.

No matter what, they definitely couldn't let their Hong Kong compatriots be bullied, right?

Besides, Wu Feng was a newspaper tycoon in Hong Kong; he had a channel to voice his opinions.

Once this matter was exposed in Hong Kong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If things went wrong, there might even be a public opinion storm that was quite unfriendly to the Mainland; they couldn't be careless at all.

No matter how you look at it, this matter couldn't be let go lightly.

It was just that outsiders didn't know the ins and outs. Anyway, Wu Feng didn't feel any pressure, and factory shipments were all normal, without encountering any obstacles or interference.

In fact, he didn't have the intention of being so generous as to let this matter go.

He let the Mainland factory side slowly investigate the situation of Mr. Chen and the boss behind him.

Time could be dragged out a bit longer, as long as his intentions weren't easily exposed.

Damn, if he couldn't do anything to these guys in the Mainland, Wu Feng would accept it.

But if these guys ever went abroad, heh...

He wouldn't mind letting these guys experience what the characteristics of a capitalist society were.

If nothing else, he had a very good relationship with gangs in Chinatown in the United States at this time.

The shipping cooperation for pork scraps was just the beginning, and later it would be added to the videotape rental business, as well as other businesses that needed strong backing; the relationship was quite good.
