Chapter 2182
Reaching Out and Crushing a Swarm of Ants
The reaction of the Chen woman and her gang was enough to fool Su Manyun.
But they couldn't fool He Yuzhu.
It's just some underworld tactics.
When two companies are competing, let the subordinates fight first.
Then they come over pretending to offer sincere compensation or something.
One reason was to test the quality of Su Manyun's offering.
Another possibility is that if we can become acquainted with Su Manyun's side through a fight, we can also establish a connection with them.
Otherwise, when has it ever happened in Beijing that beating someone up would result in a direct compensation of 2,000 yuan?
In a normal fight, the maximum compensation is five yuan, which is considered quite good.
The fact that the other party was willing to offer such a high price means that those people have already thoroughly investigated Su Manyun's background.
After saying this, He Yuzhu opened the door and was about to leave when he turned back and said, "Miss Su, be careful when you go out these next few days, lest those people resort to desperate measures."
Those people aren't just small business owners trying to take a few tables and chairs from us.
They... well, it's better you don't know.
Give me a week at most, and everything will be completely resolved.
After saying that, He Yuzhu went downstairs and had Lao Mo drive towards Lao Lu's place.
If the tiger doesn't show its power, people will mistake it for a sick cat.
Those rats hiding in the sewers, maybe in ten years or so, He Yuzhu will start to pay attention to them.
After all, those people later transformed themselves into the first wave of entrepreneurs by taking advantage of the things their ancestors had forcibly seized.
But now, even an ordinary colleague in the institute can make those bastards bow and scrape.
He Yuzhu hadn't paid attention to it before.
But now, He Yuzhu isn't going to play with them anymore, and he's flipped the table.
"Old He, when did you find the time to care about such trivial matters?" Old Lu listened to He Yuzhu's story but didn't pay much attention.
In his view, it was just two groups of small business owners who fought over business.
As mentioned above, an ordinary colleague in the office could handle it.
Old Lu and his team work in a special department, not the neighborhood committee in a hutong.
If they're bothered by every little thing, how are they supposed to focus on important matters?
He Yuzhu's expression was cold and stern. He ignored Lao Lu's teasing and said seriously to Lao Lu, "It's not about the little thing like me being beaten up."
I want to stand up for my people. If necessary, I'll call a few security guards to help me fight back.
Rather, the problem lies with these people themselves.
Don't ask me for evidence, I don't have any.
You need to look these up yourself.
We need to investigate two things: where did those people get the money from collecting old items?
Where did a bunch of young people who had just returned to the city from the countryside get the money?
You beat someone up for no reason and then pay two thousand yuan in damages? Lao Lu, how many beatings could you afford with your salary in a year?
And what about their distribution channels? Are there any problems? Are they smuggling in any illicit goods?
You should know who those people are and what they represent.
A bunch of those kinds of people, all together, with money and connections, guess what they're up to...
He Yuzhu harbored the utmost malice towards those people.
He can take responsibility for his words.
Since they've crossed him, while the other party is still weak, He Yuzhu can at least wipe out all the shady dealings on the surface, if not completely eradicate them.
He Yuzhu's mudslinging was so blatant that the other party couldn't even wash their hands of it.
Upon hearing this, Lao Lu's expression changed.
He understood what He Yuzhu meant.
Knowing this, and if we follow He Yuzhu's explanation, it really is no small matter.
He nodded seriously to He Yuzhu and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I understand. I will arrange for someone to investigate carefully."
"Especially those things, contacts outside."
"Check carefully, you might be pleasantly surprised." He Yuzhu smiled coldly, his white teeth gleaming with disdain. In later generations, those people became wealthy and famous figures.
But when it comes to doing things, they only dare to hide their true intentions.
They spend money to incite shameless people to take the lead.
Besides, now?
Three days later, Lao Lu replied to him.
It's something that's easy to check.
Those people were indeed smuggling goods out of the country, and we caught them red-handed.
And there were unexpected gains as well.
In the cellar of a certain courtyard, some items that were originally reserved for royalty were discovered.
So, that matter ended just like that.
Women like the one surnamed Chen who showed their faces in public were arrested on charges of smuggling.
I reckon by the time they come out, smartphones will be out.
As for how the group of old-fashioned remnants were dealt with, Lao Lu didn't tell him.
The reason it's simple is because these days, those people don't have much room to maneuver.
Foreign businessmen set up an entrepot trade center in Tianjin to collect local specialties.
The old items that the women surnamed Chen collected were at most folk artifacts.
These days, it's not illegal.
But He Yuzhu's words, "to prevent smuggling," revealed the truth.
After all, those tables, chairs, and benches, even if they were made of precious materials and were quite old, were still not as expensive as they are in later times.
If you only do those things, you can make some money, but at most you'll only make a few thousand or tens of thousands.
The truly valuable items are the well-known, antique heirlooms.
When the old man takes charge, he's worth two men.
Many things can be kept secret from ordinary people, but in the eyes of people like them, there is nowhere to hide.
He Yuzhu didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.
Someone he idolized in his past life has now been brought down to earth by his own hands.
He wasn't particularly happy either.
After all, he's on a different level now.
Now that he's paying attention to these things, it really is, as Lao Lu said, a bit too protective of his own.
But money can't buy happiness, and those bastards were the ones who bullied him first.
The key is that those people were dealt with, and they'll never know for the rest of their lives who really took action against them.
To use a popular internet meme from later years as an example, it would be something like, "You just borrowed money to open a small shop at the entrance of the village."
Taobao's horse and JD.com's strong horse have made you their mortal enemy, and they're determined to defeat you.
How can you stop such a catastrophe?
They were completely powerless to resist.
Su Manyun witnessed the entire incident and wrote a detailed letter, which she sent to Lou Xiao'e.
Of course, the key point is that He Yuzhu did this because Lou Xiao'e had insulted him in a telegram.
Women's ideas are always quite peculiar.
When Lou Xiao'e finished reading the letter, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
It's like seeing a child being scolded by their parents, having nowhere to vent their anger, and then taking it out on the flowers and plants by the roadside.
"Mom, the people who went to the mainland to discuss investment have already set off."
Why did my dad suddenly decide to let me invest in a run-down television factory?
"This contradicts our investment plan." He Xinghua walked in, dressed in a suit, frowning, clearly not understanding why He Yuzhu had made this arrangement.
"If you can guess what your father is thinking, then I can completely trust you," Lou Xiao'e said with a hint of pride. (End of Chapter)
