Chapter 1104 Farewell My Concubine
Many people may wonder why Abao did not tell Miss Wang about the plan. That’s because Abao had suffered a great loss due to Miss Wang’s naivety, which was the incident when he helped Xiao Ningbo purchase Japanese equipment in late 1988.

Therefore, Abao would not tell Miss Wang the detailed plan until the last moment. After all, he also understood the principle that if things are not kept secret, they will not succeed. You know, the purchase volume of 800,000 pieces cannot be leaked so quickly.

In fact, Abao was very worried at the beginning that Suning would be involved in this business. You know, Zisu Clothing has become a world-famous brand, and it is naturally easy for it to take over and operate a small "Sanyang".

When Abao heard Miss Wang say that Fan Xinhua didn't even enter the door of Delin Apartment, he realized that Suning was already giving him a lot of face, and he no longer had any worries about other competitors coming to steal his business.

The uncle from the Peace Hotel smiled wryly as soon as he saw A Bao and said, "Boss Bao, Miss Wang just called again. It seems she really values this business deal with Boss Fan."

A Bao also shook his head helplessly and said, "Uncle, Miss Wang is a person who acts on her own and is very impetuous in everything she does, so her worries are really unnecessary."

"Boss Bao, but I heard from Miss Wang that Mrs. Lin has already made a move. I'm worried that Boss Fan will really reach a cooperation with Wei Hongqing."

"In the beginning, I was actually worried that Suning would interfere. After all, his Zisu Clothing brand is very powerful. Since he's not interested in this matter now, I naturally don't care about Mrs. Lin or Wei Hongqing."

"That's right! Suning really gave us face and spared no effort in helping us."

"Uncle, let's not talk about Suning for now. I want to take this opportunity to teach Mr. Fan a lesson to prevent any more trouble after we reach a cooperation agreement."

"That's fine! People like Mr. Fan really should be taught a lesson."

The uncle naturally disliked Fan Xinhua, a businessman who did not keep his word, the most, otherwise he would not have done so many tests on Abao in the beginning, so he agreed with Abao's plan to teach Fan Xinhua a lesson.

The plan that Abao came up with was nothing more than to take advantage of the opportunity to lower the price, and by the way, to teach a lesson to the newly arrived Lin Tai and the unaware Wei Hongqing. It could also be regarded as the first lesson of the Yellow River Road for the Lin Tai, who had a strong background.

After being reminded by Suning, Chen Zhen naturally paid attention to Huanghe Road and found that Fan Xinhua from Huxi Knitting Factory had hooked up with Lin Tai, so Chen Zhen thought that Abao might be in real danger this time.

"Mr. Su, it seems that Mr. Bao is really in danger this time. I heard that Mrs. Lin, the owner of the newly opened "Yushan Pavilion", introduced Mr. Fan to Mr. Wei, and Mr. Wei was very generous and added one dollar to Mr. Fan's price."

"Haha, don't worry! The most exciting moment is coming soon. Soon Lin Tai and Wei Hongqing will find out that they are clowns."

"really?"

"Wei Hongqing is a young man who relies entirely on his family's influence. All his strength and wealth come from his father. He has no idea how much effort Abao has put into this business."

"Mr. Su, although I have great faith in your judgment, I'm still worried that Mr. Bao's lukewarm approach to Mr. Fan will end up with nothing. I think it would be better for Zisu Clothing to grab this business."

"Oh? Do you know what kind of business Fan Xinhua is in?"

"Hehe, I already found out. I spent 200 yuan to bribe a cleaner at the Huating Hotel. It turns out that Mr. Fan's Huxi Knitting Factory has already produced T-shirts made of flamed mercerized cotton."

"Amazing! But you don't know that Fan Xinhua leaked the information on purpose, and you don't know how large the order Abao placed this time is."

"Oh? How many?"

"Eight hundred thousand pieces."

"What? This is impossible! How did Po sell all these T-shirts?"

"In fact, while you and Mrs. Lin were staring at Fan Xinhua, Abao had already negotiated a cooperation agreement with Mr. Xu from Hulian Commercial Building. So Mrs. Lin and Wei Hongqing were destined to become a laughing stock."

"Oh my god! Po's behavior this time is so awesome."

"What do you think? He didn't become a billionaire for nothing."

……

As the lights come on, Huanghe Road once again opens its daily event. The nouveau riche come to this big stage to start their performances, and what they seek is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Of course, "Begonia" and "Xilehui" are still the top two restaurants on Huanghe Road, and they have already completed the layout of branches in the first- and second-tier cities across the country. Their fame is definitely not comparable to other restaurants.

Boss Huang Teng brought the other boss ladies to Lu Meiling to sow discord. "Meiling, did you see that? Mrs. Lin is so arrogant. She actually aimed her first shot at Mr. Bao."

However, Lu Meiling, who had long since let go of things, changed her mindset. "Why bother with so much? We just need to focus on our own business. Even though Qiu Hai Tang and Xi Le Hui are doing so well, they haven't taken away all our customers."

"Meiling, why have you become so weak now? Are you still the big sister in our minds?"

"Sister Huang Teng, the times have changed. It's very dangerous to continue to bite whoever you catch as before. We should focus on the quality of our food and service."

"This……"

"Sister Huang Teng, I heard that Yushan Pavilion specializes in Taiwanese cuisine and has hired the executive chef from the Wanwan Garden Hotel. If we don't work harder, Mrs. Lin will kick us out of Huanghe Road."

"What? The Grand Hotel? The one that's said to be the most prestigious hotel in Taiwan?"

"That's right! Back then, countless chefs came to Taiwan and Hong Kong, and the quality of their dishes was naturally superior."

"It looks like our restaurants on Huanghe Road are in trouble. The quality of our dishes and service couldn't compare to 'Qiu Hai Tang' and 'Xi Le Hui' to begin with, and now there's this 'Yu Shan Ge' that's suddenly appeared. How are we going to survive on Huanghe Road from now on?"

"No more talking! The store is already in class now, and Xiao Jiangxi can't take care of it alone, so I'll go back to the store to help."

"Hey……"

After Lu Meiling left this troubled place, the proprietress of Ri Ri Xian suddenly said with a twisted mouth, "Sister Huang Teng, ever since Du Honggen was shot, I've noticed that Lu Meiling has become less and less motivated."

However, Huang Teng's wife was unwilling to give up and said, "Humph! Since Lu Meiling is unwilling to show up, then we should unite on our own."

"Sister Huang Teng, what are you going to do?"

"Although we can't do anything to 'Qiu Hai Tang' and 'Xi Le Hui', this 'Yu Shan Ge' won't be able to gain a foothold easily. We, the boss ladies, must unite and teach 'Yu Shan Ge' a lesson."

"Sister Huang Teng, I heard that Yushan Pavilion has a close relationship with the Wanwan Chamber of Commerce. We must not offend anyone we shouldn't offend."

"Humph! This Yellow River Road is dominated by our local proprietresses. Even the proprietresses of 'Qiu Hai Tang' and 'Xi Le Hui' are Shanghai natives. How can we Shanghai natives be bullied by a foreign woman from Taiwan?"

"Sister Huang Teng, what are you going to do? We all choose to support you."

"Simple! Get the bigwigs behind you to take action together. Cut off the power, poach the chefs, cut off the supply of goods, even destroy the place and release snakes and rats. You must not let this 'Yushan Pavilion' operate on our Huanghe Road."

"Okay! Just do it."

Although Lu Meiling is no longer leading the trouble on Huanghe Road, it does not mean that everything will go smoothly. These female bosses all have backgrounds of one kind or another, which naturally gives them the confidence to continue causing trouble on Huanghe Road.

……

However, at this time, Mrs. Lin, the proprietress of "Yushan Pavilion", was also preparing to make trouble, and the first target she chose was the popular Abao. She actually successfully brought Fan Xinhua and Wei Hongqing together.

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Fan will be here soon. I hope you can successfully secure this business deal from Mr. Fan."

"Mrs. Lin, but I heard that Mr. Fan has already arranged to meet with Mr. Bao at the Honglu Restaurant across the street to discuss business?"

"They're scheduled for 6:30, and it's only 4:30 now, so you have two hours, Mr. Wei." "Mrs. Lin, you're truly a heroine."

"Mr. Wei, please."

Then Wei Hongqing walked into the "Yushan Pavilion" very arrogantly with a group of punks. Not long after they sat down in the private room of the "Yushan Pavilion", Fan Xinhua came into the room with samples of burnt mercerized cotton.

Although President Wei and Mrs. Lin had discovered Fan Xinhua's products a long time ago, they were still stunned by the flamed mercerized cotton T-shirt when they saw it with their own eyes. The flamed mercerized cotton T-shirt of French Montagut is indeed the representative of luxury goods.

Wei Hongqing looked at Fan Xinhua with admiration and flattered him, "Mr. Fan, you're truly a man who hides his true colors. You've quietly built such a great business. It's as if Zisu Clothing hasn't yet broken through the technology of burning mercerized cotton."

"Mrs. Lin, President Wei, our Huxi Knitting Factory developed this technology back in 1990. After two or three years of research and development and improvement, we've managed to reduce costs to one-third of those of Montagut in France. This is a technological advancement that even Zisu Clothing can't even begin to catch up with."

"Mr. Fan is right! Zisu Clothing has seized the initiative. I believe that soon, 'Three Rams' will become the next world-famous brand."

"Haha, my requirements are not that high. I want 'Sanyang' to be the best-selling brand in Shanghai and get the well-deserved title of 'Shanghai Famous Brand'."

"No problem! I'll give you an extra 1.5 yuan for each T-shirt, and I'm going to roll out the "Three Rams" T-shirts throughout Shanghai."

"Boss Wei, then I wish you a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Mr. Fan, Mr. Wei, congratulations on your successful cooperation."

"Mrs. Lin, how many tables do you have in Yushan Pavilion?"

"There are a total of 108 tables in the hall and private rooms."

"Great! Then I'll treat every table to a Farewell My Concubine today."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

"Oh my! President Wei is truly too magnanimous. I, Fan Xinhua, truly admire him completely."

"Mr. Fan, our Wei family has three generations of business experience and a rich background. We are naturally not comparable to that upstart Mr. Bao. You chose me, Wei Hongqing. It is definitely a sign of your good vision, Mr. Fan."

"Haha, Mr. Wei, I, Fan Xinhua, toast you again."

"cheers."

……

Miss Wang had naturally been keeping an eye on Fan Xinhua's business. Seeing Wei Hongqing hugging Mr. Wei in a servile manner, Miss Wang was so angry that she almost burst into flames.

Then Miss Wang stopped a waiter who was serving food, snatched a copy of Farewell My Concubine from the other person's hand, turned around angrily and left "Yushan Pavilion" and went to the Honglu Restaurant across the street.

At this time, Suning and Chen Zhen were watching this drama by the window of the "Beijing Hall" on the top floor of "Begonia". They were naturally amused by the angry Miss Wang.

"Hehe, Mr. Su, it seems that Mr. Bao didn't tell Miss Wang about the plan, otherwise Miss Wang would definitely not be so angry."

"At the end of 1988, Wang Mingzhu, with good intentions but ulterior motives, caused A-bao a big trouble. Now, A-bao will certainly not fall into the same pit twice."

"So that's how it is! I was afraid that Miss Wang, who has a fiery temper, wouldn't be able to accept it."

"Wang Mingzhu doesn't have a good personality. She's been protected too well by A-Bao over the years. It's time for her to learn a lesson."

"Mr. Su, Miss Wang is actually a rare beauty. Why did you choose Xu Jiajia instead of Miss Wang, who is considered your junior sister?"

"Chen Zhen, you're so smart, can't you see that I care about the Xu family's background?"

"Actually, I feel like you don't need to do this at all. You know, the Su Group is already a multinational corporation with operations all over the world. Even without the Xu family's support, it can still do well in the domestic market."

"Marriage is sometimes not as simple as it seems. Besides, I like Xu Jiajia from the bottom of my heart. At least Xu Jiajia can accept the existence of you and Betty."

"..." Chen Zhen on the side naturally understood the reason why Su Ning said this. After all, with Miss Wang's personality, she would not allow Su Ning to have so many female friends.

At this time, Miss Wang had already arrived at the Honglu Restaurant with a copy of Farewell My Concubine. When she saw A Bao, she said with dismay, "Boss Bao, you should be satisfied now. Boss Fan has reached a cooperation agreement with Wei Hongqing, and Wei Hongqing has even treated every table at Yushan Pavilion to a serving of Farewell My Concubine."

"Don't worry! Go across the street and tell Mr. Fan a message. All the resentment you've had these past few days will be swept away."

"Oh? What message?"

"I'll reduce the price of each T-shirt by 1.5 yuan. If there's one less than 800,000 pieces, I won't be able to do business anymore."

"what?"

This was naturally the first time that Miss Wang heard about Abao's order volume. She immediately understood all of Abao's plans and arrangements. Suddenly, she turned around with excitement and left Honglu and ran to "Yushan Pavilion".

Fan Xinhua looked at Miss Wang in disbelief and asked, "Miss Wang, has Mr. Bao had too much? Yesterday he said he would reduce my rent by one dollar, but today he's actually trying to reduce it by one dollar and fifty cents?"

"That's right! Mr. Bao also said, 800,000 pieces. If one is missing, we won't do this business anymore."

"what?"

"Wait! Mr. Fan, how many pieces are there in this batch?"

"800,000 pieces! If it were just a small business with tens of thousands of pieces, I wouldn't have come to Shanghai in person."

"Then...how many batches will it be divided into?"

"Two batches! Each batch contains 400,000 pieces."

"Mr. Fan, can I take 100,000 pieces first?"

"What? The raw materials for the 800,000 pieces have already been delivered to the factory, and even the overtime pay has been paid to the workers. What should I do with the remaining 700,000 pieces?"

"Don't we still have brothers here? Once we've sold 100,000 T-shirts, we can figure out how to sell the remaining 700,000."

"..."

"Haha, Mr. Fan, let me reiterate on behalf of Mr. Bao: 800,000 pieces! We won't do any less."

"This……"

In the end, Mrs. Lin and Wei Hongqing could only watch Fan Xinhua leave with Miss Wang, and naturally they suffered 100,000 points of critical damage from Abao.
