Chapter 561 - YuanTai Group
"Buzz buzz!"
The roar of the engine indicated how powerful the engine was.
The black BMW x6 was speeding along the road, Guo Tao's driving skills were very outstanding, coupled with the high performance of the BMW x6, it made the car incomparably stable. If you didn't look outside the car, you wouldn't even be able to feel that the car was moving!
Ji Feng sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. However, he was actually deep in thought with his eyes closed. In his mind, he recalled the destination of this trip — Hangzhou.
Hangzhou was not the closest city to Jiangzhou. Near Jiangzhou, there were several county and territorial cities, and all of them were relatively developed. Some of the county cities were almost completely industrialized small cities, and the population of such a small city was less than one tenth of that of a second tier city in the northern or central region.
From this, it could be seen how advanced the industry was in this small county!
However, as the provincial capital of Jiang and Zhe provinces, Hangzhou had advantages that were hard to compare with those small cities. Regardless of geographical location or policy, it was extremely obvious!
Perhaps it was also because of this that Xiao Zhanghe and Lin Sheng had set their sights on the Hangzhou City.
After all, if they could open up a market in Hangzhou, it would be much easier for them to radiate towards the nearby cities and form a huge sales network.
However, Xiao Changhe and Lin Que were cheated this time. However, this did not mean that their choice and judgement were wrong!
According to his usual thinking, if it was Ji Feng, he would have made the same choice as Xiao Zhanghe.
Unfortunately for Xiao Zhanghe, he and Lin TianAo had met a deceitful, yet effective swindler. The other party had used their eagerness to achieve what they had set up a trap for them.
From Jiang Prefecture to Hangzhou, if one drove fast enough, it would only take about two hours. The journey was not considered far.
As for Ji Feng, he had to prepare a rough plan within the next two hours. Otherwise, if he went to Hangzhou and was unfamiliar with the city, he would be controlled by others everywhere.
It was a must to meet up with Xiao Zhanghe and Lin Life in Hangzhou.
He paid off all the bids first to let Xiao Zhanghe get rid of his legal responsibilities. At the very least, he temporarily didn't have anything to do with the authorities. This was a matter of urgency.
Other than that, Ji Feng wanted to have a good meeting with that smack of the smithy's chairman. He wanted to trick Xiao Zhanghe into giving up his money, even though he had no other choice. This person's ability was definitely not ordinary, and he was definitely not a simple person.
Since the other party dared to blatantly cheat them, they must have something to rely on. At the very least, they were confident and weren't afraid of you coming looking for them!
In this situation, Ji Feng had to be on high alert. After all, this was Hangzhou, not Jiang Prefecture.
Besides, from the beginning to the end, this incident seemed like it was a formal operation. Xiao Zhanghe had also taken the initiative to hand over his ident.i.ty card. With the other party's style of doing things, he believed that he would not leave any evidence for him to investigate. In this situation, even in the Jiang Prefecture, Ji Feng would not be able to do anything if he were to use the official methods.
To put it bluntly, this was a scam!
It was nothing more than asking Xiao Zhanghe to spend a large amount of money to buy the useless ore. The matter was as simple as that.
"This is indeed a troublesome person …" Ji Feng could not help but secretly shake his head. This time, he might really spend money to buy a lesson!
After that, Ji Feng stopped thinking about it, because from the looks of the current situation, he could not think of any other solution. He could only wait until he saw Xiao Zhanghe and inquired about the details before coming up with a solution.
Ji Feng and Guo Tao started their departure around seven in the morning, and when they arrived at Hangzhou, it was also just after ten in the morning.
The moment the two of them walked out of the tollbooth, they saw a black Mercedes-Benz waiting for them at the exit. Ji Feng immediately recognized that it was Xiao Zhanghe's car!
There was a person standing next to the car. It was the general manager of the Long River Pharmaceutical Company, Lin Shimeng.
Ji Feng couldn't help but to chuckle. From the looks of it, the two of them were truly worried. Otherwise, why would Lin Life come directly to the tollbooth to wait? It was as if they were welcoming the leader of the inspection team!
"Guo Tao, stop the car in front of that black Mercedes-Benz. That's the guy we're looking for!" Ji Feng said with a smile.
"Yes sir!" Guo Tao immediately answered and stopped the car a few meters away from the Mercedes-Benz.
Upon seeing Ji Feng get off the carriage, Lin Qing hurriedly walked over and shook hands with him. "Mister Ji, the boss is waiting for you at the hotel!"
Ji Feng smiled as he nodded his head, "Let's go. Lead the way."
Lin Shimeng immediately said, "Okay, come with me!"
The two of them got back into the car and went straight to the hotel where Xiao Changhe was staying.
The hotel where Xiao Zhanghe and Lin Liansheng stayed at was called West Lake Hotel. It was a four-star hotel.
When Ji Feng and the other two arrived, Xiao Zhanghe was frowning as he walked back and forth in the hotel room with a cigarette in his hand. He appeared to be very agitated and restless. He was no longer as steady as he was before. Clearly, this matter had made him very anxious.
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, he would feel relieved. Xiao Zhanghe was middle-aged and had toiled for 20 years before he could finally reach his current company's size. Originally, he had wanted to take advantage of the current good development momentum and expand the company to a further level, one that could extend to the Jiang and Zhe regions. However, he hadn't expected that he would step into a trap dug by someone else and fall headfirst into it. This fall caused his face to be bruised black and blue. If he carefully calculated this, he might very well go bankrupt!
Xiao Zhanghe originally wanted to leave his daughter a company with stable operations and good development, but now, he could only leave his daughter with a pile of debts. This made him extremely depressed!
In addition, Xiao Zhanghe had never had such grand ambitions in his life. He had just put in a bit of effort when he had fallen into such a situation. The magnitude of the blow could be imagined.
Under these circ.u.mstances, how could he calm down? Where would he be able to maintain his composure?!
"Uncle Xiao!" The moment Ji Feng pushed the door open and entered, he saw Xiao Zhanghe's dejected look. The room was filled with smoke and the pungent smell of smoke made it hard for people to open their eyes.
"Ji Feng, you're here!" When Xiao Zhanghe saw Ji Feng, he couldn't help blushing and asked embarra.s.sedly.
"Uncle Xiao, you …" Ji Feng could not help but slightly shake his head. "This is not a big deal. I was just tricked. No one can guarantee that I will succeed in my life. It's just a small setback, don't take it to heart!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhanghe could only shake his head with a bitter smile and sigh: "Little Feng, in this lifetime, Uncle Xiao did not suffer such a loss. He is clearly a swindler, but I still have to be eager to give money to someone else. Sigh! What a waste of time! "
"Boss, this is all my fault. If I hadn't strongly recommended to expand the company's business, we wouldn't have been deceived …" Lin Life said apologetically at the side.
Xiao Zhanghe waved his hand and said, "How can I blame you? You were also kind. It was me who did not see through the other party's trick, that's why …"
Ji Feng gestured to Guo Tao, who immediately pulled over a chair and sat by the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Uncle Xiao, now is not the time to question our responsibility. I would like to know the details of what happened after you arrived at the Jiang Prefecture!" Ji Feng said.
Xiao Zhanghe shook his head slightly, "It's better to let it be said in my life!"
Ji Feng nodded. With Xiao Zhanghe's current mental state, it was really inappropriate for him to explain the situation. He looked at Lin Shimeng, smiled, and said, "Boss Lin, tell me about the situation!"
"As soon as we arrived in Hangzhou, the first contact we had was with a pharmaceutical factory called YuanTai. At that time, we went directly to YuanTai Tower to make an appointment with their receptionist. We made an appointment with their sales representative the next day."
"Yuan Tai Drug Refinery... "I know about this, it's a large pharmaceutical group that can be seen frequently on television!" Ji Feng nodded his head. This Yuan Tai Corporation was quite powerful. It was common to see it on various television stations and at Central TV. It was like taking oral medicine or special medicines. Advertis.e.m.e.nts filled the sky.
If he could establish a business relationship with this large group, it would indeed allow the Long River Pharmaceutical Company to rise to a new level.
Lin Shimeng nodded slightly, then continued, "The next day, the boss and I went to Yuan Tai Tower again. This time, we were received by a director of the Sales Department, and his manager was also called by an employee. This person's name is Zhou Chengxin!"
"What is it? Zhou Zhen?! " Ji Feng's face darkened, "If this kind of person can be called honest, then what's there to be dishonest about?"
"No, he's called Zhou Chengxin!" The new and the old! " Lin Que quickly wrote this name on the tea table before saying: "This man is very cultured, he looks like a government official from a state-owned enterprise. Yuan Tai's employees all called him Manager Zhou after seeing him, and some even called him Director Zhou. We have no reason to doubt his ident.i.ty!"
"That's true!" Ji Feng nodded, "Continue."
"After interacting with Zhou Cheng, he also brought out some approval procedures for the agents, including various requirements for the company's registered capital …" Lin Life told him about these professional products, "As for the lowest level agents, our company's sales channels are slightly worse, but not by much. That's how we started public relations!"
"After playing for two days, he brought you guys to the ore trade fair?" Ji Feng asked.
"Yes!" Lin Shimeng nodded.
"With this Zhou Chengxin's ident.i.ty, is he really the manager of Yuan Tai's Sales Department? "Are you sure?" Ji Feng went straight to the point.
