Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 146: Jianghu is not all about fighting and killing (Happy New Year!)

In the Shinan District People's Hospital, Li Baoliang lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the medicine in the IV bottle with a look of despair on his face.

Three days, just three days.

He felt that the sky in Jingzhou City had changed.

All IT practitioners are talking about the sudden rise of Honor computers.

People all over the streets were discussing the champion sponsor who crushed Lianxiang Computer.

The media's tone also changed completely. Websites, print media and even television media began to publish performance test charts of Honor computers and Lianxiang computers, criticizing them harshly.

The mighty Pentium 4 computer is actually not as good as the Celeron 1 computer.

Is this the decline of the times or the corruption of morality?

"Mr. Li, everyone's saying our prices are inflated, and dealers from all over are coming to us to return our products," Li Baoliang's right-hand man, Chen Qingquan, said as he wiped his sweat. "If we don't come up with a solution, this sales center might have to close down. Today, Manager Ding had a conflict with a dealer in Yantai City and was almost beaten up."

Li Baoliang clenched his fists with a sullen expression and said, "This has been planned for a long time! They have been planning this for a long time!!!"

Chen Qingquan stood beside the bed, not daring to say much, and could only listen quietly.

Li Baoliang took a deep breath and said, "Have you investigated the person who hit me? Was he instructed by Momo Internet Cafe?"

Chen Qingquan hesitated and said, "I checked, I found it, but..."

"Whatever you say is nonsense!" Li Baoliang was furious.

"Yes, the girl who did it is called Su Duo, Su Boyu's daughter." Chen Qingquan said.

"Su Baiyu's daughter?" Li Baoliang's expression changed slightly.

This Su Boyu is the economic advisor to the provincial government.

"Su Boyu sent his secretary to our sales center this morning. He expressed his sincere apologies for what happened and asked if we had any other requirements." Chen Qingquan sighed.

"What request?" Li Baoliang was already cursing in his heart. What the hell is this a request? What's the difference between this and putting a gun to his head and asking him if he obeys?
Chen Qingquan said, "Mr. Li, our top priority right now is to resolve the return issue as soon as possible. If the impact of this matter grows, I'm worried about what will happen at headquarters..."

Li Baoliang gritted his teeth and said, "Have Honor computers started shipping now?"

Chen Qingquan said, "Many agents are waiting outside the Honor Computer factory. I heard Honor Computer has thousands of finished computers ready. If they release them like this, not only us, but even Mr. Ren's Computer Parts City won't be able to withstand it. Their prices are too low, and their running speed is comparable to our Pentium 4 computers."

"Have you tested it?"

"I bought one from a reporter at a high price and tested it carefully," Chen Qingquan sighed. "The operating system on this Honor computer is very powerful. I suspect it came from Hong Kong."

Li Baoliang said in a deep voice, "Then give them a refund! But make it clear to them that if they accept the return, they can forget about becoming our distributor again!"

"Mr. Li, this is tens of millions of dollars in payment for goods. I'm afraid you have to talk to Handong Commercial Bank in person." Chen Qingquan said.

"Okay!" Li Baoliang took a deep breath and made a phone call.

"Mr. Li, are you feeling better?" The voice of Vice President Liu came from the other end of the line.

Li Baoliang sighed, "Thank you, President Liu, for your concern. Everything is fine now. I just have something to trouble you with."

"You want additional loans, right?" Vice President Liu said.

"Yes." Li Baoliang sighed, "Just help me from a friend's perspective."

Vice President Liu sighed, "Mr. Li, it's not that I don't want to help you. Now that you've stirred up a hornet's nest, even if I wanted to help you, I'm powerless."

"What do you mean?" Li Baoliang was stunned.

"Look at you, why don't you provoke anyone else? You have to provoke Li Zhiyuan from Jingzhou Daily. Do you know who Li Zhiyuan is? Now Jingzhou Daily is about to acquire Handong Evening News and become the largest paper media group in the province. No matter how many people try to curry favor with it, they can't get it." Vice President Liu said in a tone of disappointment.

"When did I provoke Li Zhiyuan? The Jingzhou Daily has been slandering me for three consecutive days, and I haven't said a word in response." Li Baoliang cried out in injustice.

"Did you go to the e-sports competition award ceremony to disrupt it?" asked Vice President Liu.

"Yes, but what does this have to do with Jingzhou Daily?"

"Before you started messing around, Li Zhiyuan had just finished speaking, and you effectively slapped him twice." Vice President Liu said, "Li Zhiyuan is known for being petty. You're truly brave."

Li Baoliang was completely bewildered. He, he had no idea what was going on. If he had known that Li Zhiyuan was going to give a speech, he wouldn't have dared to disrupt the event even if he had ten times the courage.

Vice President Liu said, "Hey, if you want to turn things around now, you can only ask someone for help."

"Cheng Yi?" Li Baoliang guessed it.

"That's right, you can only ask Cheng Yi for help. Even if I approve you a loan of tens of millions, what will happen? If you take back the computers from the dealers, can you still sell them? As soon as Honor computers are released, you're doomed." Vice President Liu said, "When the time comes, your group headquarters will definitely come forward to negotiate with Cheng Yi to regain the Handong Province market. I don't know whether the negotiations will be successful, but you will definitely be abandoned. Instead of that, you might as well take the initiative to talk to Cheng Yi and seize the initiative first."

Vice President Liu had risen through the ranks, possessing a profound understanding of human nature. Li Baoliang now had a clearer view of the situation. He carefully reviewed the entire situation and suddenly felt as if he had walked into a long-planned trap.

He is like a fish on the chopping board, and Cheng Yi is the chef sharpening the knife.

It is estimated that from the moment his eldest son offended Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi was already preparing to take action against him.

Li Baoliang sighed, "Alas, it has come to this. Even if I go to Cheng Yi's house to ask for help, the most he will do is laugh at me."

"It's been three days, and he still hasn't shipped the goods. I'm afraid he's just waiting for you to come and apologize." Vice President Liu said, "How about this? I'll personally invite you to our head office and find a way to resolve this grudge. What do you think?"

"If President Liu can really help me resolve this, I will agree to anything." Li Baoliang is also anxious now.

In just three days, everyone from the media to the suppliers had pushed him into a desperate situation.

Those who do business have always been prone to failure, and bankruptcy is just a matter of a blink of an eye. After all, they are burdened with huge loans.

Now Li Baoliang is really scared.

"Hey, I'll ask you to change your temper this time. I've warned you over and over again not to provoke Cheng Yi, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that you have a little wealth, you don't even know your own last name. Now you know how powerful I am, don't you?"

"Director Cheng's family are all business geniuses, fighting in the business world for decades. Do you think that just because Cheng Yi is just an 18-year-old kid, you can ignore him?" Vice President Liu said angrily, "What do you think now? You can't even withstand a single move from him."

Li Baoliang did not refute, because he really couldn't withstand even one of Cheng Yi's moves.

"Prepare a check for five million and be polite to me when we meet. If you anger Cheng Yi again this time, you can expect to go bankrupt." Vice President Liu hung up the phone after saying that.

Vice President Liu was also angry. If Li Baoliang went bankrupt, he would not only lose a big customer, but Li Baoliang's loans would also become non-performing loans, which would greatly affect his future.

"Huh." Li Baoliang sighed and said to Chen Qingquan, "Go prepare a check for five million. Vice President Liu asked to help us reconcile our relationship with Cheng Yi."

Chen Qingquan said with a look of relief: "If we can really reconcile successfully, that would be great. As long as Honor computers don't ship, there is still room for maneuver."

"Yeah." Li Baoliang sighed deeply and felt several years older.

This Cheng Yi is so scary...

Hmm? Just now, Vice President Liu mentioned Director Cheng's family. Could he be Director Cheng Mingjun of the Provincial Investment Commission?
Holy shit! Li Baoliang almost jumped up from his hospital bed.

Is this Cheng Yi the nephew of Director Cheng Mingjun? No wonder. Cheng Mingjun turned five state-owned enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy into major taxpayers. His business acumen and courage are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Moreover, the Cheng family has been engaged in business for generations, and they have extremely keen insights into business.

Liu Neng, Liu Neng, please explain it to me earlier. Why would I fight Cheng Yi like a fool? You really caused me so much trouble! Li Baoliang felt very aggrieved.

He was like an invincible swordsman in the whole village, who was determined to fight Ouyang Feng's nephew Ouyang Ke in a duel.

The key point is that there are people around who know Ouyang Ke, but they just don't remind him and have to watch him get hit by the Toad Skill.

These bastards are not human beings at all.

"Yes, yes, each floor is divided into two rooms, a smoking area and a non-smoking area." At this time, in the Momo Internet Cafe, Cheng Yi was directing the decoration team to redivide the layout of the Internet Cafe.

During these three days, although the promotion of Honor computers was in full swing, Cheng Yi's focus was all on decoration matters and he had no plans for the next step.

The threshold of Honor Computer was almost broken down by dealers, but not a single computer was sold, which made Huang Wenrong and others confused.

This is simply a case of much ado about nothing.

No one understands what Cheng Yi is up to.

In the afternoon, Guo Yongli called and said excitedly, "Mr. Cheng, Li Baoliang has given in. Vice President Liu wants to meet with you for a talk. The time is set at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "This bastard can really hold it in. He wasted three days of my time."

Guo Yongli smiled and said, "From what I've heard from Vice President Liu, Li Baoliang has completely surrendered. If you have any requests, feel free to ask him."

Cheng Yi chuckled and said, "I don't have any other requests. As long as he guarantees a loan of 50 million for me, I will reluctantly forgive him."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi said to Zhang Lingyu and Huang Wenrong: "I'm going to the Handong Commercial Bank headquarters in a while, you guys come with me."

"What type of business? Do I need to prepare in advance?" Huang Wenrong asked.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Li Baoliang has contacted Vice President Liu from the head office and wants to negotiate with us."

"He wants to negotiate peace, so he can do that? Why?" Zhang Lingyu became angry when she heard that.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Lingyu, this is why I brought you there."

"You have to remember that the Jianghu isn't about fighting and killing, it's about the ways of the world."
