1220: Chapter 1221: This Move is Really Ruthless!

“But why is this?”

Han Jin was even more confused.

“Soon you will understand.

For now, just do as I say, and I guarantee you won’t lose out.

Instead, you’ll make a profit,”

Wu Feng said.

“Yes, President Wu!”

Han Jin stopped the small talk, nodded, and left.

The rest of the senior executives also left Han Jin’s office one after another.

Han Jin lit up a cigarette and stood before the floor-to-ceiling window looking outside.

He gently took off his watch from his left wrist and revealed a ferocious Satan tattoo underneath.

“Pitiful Xinmeng Group, you are but mere victims in the power struggles of the Aristocratic Clans,”

Han Jin sneered.

“But still, put up some resistance and perish together with Zhou Group.

That’s the outcome the King most wants to see.”

He laughed again.

The downfall of the Shangguan Family marked the beginning of a new era.

It meant that the existing ten Aristocratic Clans could no longer control Dragon Country.

What comes next will be a new era.

And at the pinnacle of this epoch will be their King.

…

Jincheng, this is the largest car production base of Xinmeng Group in the Northern Border.

With the help of the Jincheng City Port, their cars can be directly shipped to the Northern Border, and can also be exported overseas.

But now, the problem is that the control of the Jincheng City Port is still in the hands of the Zhou Family.

In Blue Sea, Xinmeng Group claimed a significant victory, but now in Jincheng, the Xinmeng Group is facing a shortage of raw materials.

Shipping from the Southern Region would be too costly.

Xiao Yulan’s most important task at the moment is to find raw materials for car manufacturing.

She thought it would be a difficult task, but what she didn’t expect was that as soon as the message was spread, someone already came knocking at their door.

Han Jin looked at Xiao Yulan who stood before him, his face full of sincerity and friendliness.

“Not to hide from you, President Xiao, these materials have been stocked up for a while.

We were originally cooperating with the Hao League, but unfortunately, the Hao League has dissolved.

Our materials have no use, just sitting there like a pile of junk, it’s better to sell them to Xinmeng Group to recover some losses.

After all, the daily management costs are a lot; we are a small company and can’t sustain it.”

Xiao Yulan looked at Han Jin, naturally not fully trusting this man, but she had already inspected the goods, and although they had been stockpiled for some time, they were all of good quality.

Exactly what Xinmeng Automobile urgently needed right now.

The price asked was not high either, just slightly above the market rate.

“I don’t understand, Zhou Group also has a car division, why don’t you choose to sell these raw materials to Zhou Group?

They surely won’t miss this bit of money, right?”

Xiao Yulan asked.

“To tell you the truth, the threshold of Zhou Group is too high, we can’t even make contact at all, and Zhou Family, being one of the ten Aristocratic Clans, are very proud.

They drive a hard bargain, and we just want to make a bit more.

In business, if it’s not for money, then what for?”

Han Jin chuckled; “Moreover, Xinmeng Group is growing so strongly right now, we’d like to establish good relations.

When Xinmeng Group expands to the Northern Border, perhaps you can look after us too.”

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yulan said, “Alright, seeing that you’re so sincere, we’ll take these raw materials.”

“President Xiao really is a straightforward person.

But we can only take cash, no credit.

We’re a small business and can’t play that big.

But there is one thing, if you find any quality issue with the goods, you can return them directly and we will pay tenfold compensation,”

Han Jin was very confident about this batch of goods.

“No problem, cash for goods, then.

Let’s sign the contract now.”

Xiao Yulan, although suspecting something fishy, was convinced that there was absolutely no issue with the quality of the goods and the price was very fair, so she couldn’t see any reason not to proceed.

As for other problems, they could be investigated later.

With their own ulterior motives, both parties signed the contract, and a considerable amount of raw materials was transported into the factory.

The production of new cars was officially scheduled.

Originally, this new model had been developed a month ago and was already very mature.

However, the launch event had been continuously postponed due to insufficient production capacity and lack of materials.

Now that the materials were available and the Jincheng car factory was established, everything was ready.

On the day of signing, Xinmeng Group’s Tianhai City headquarters held a grand new car launch event.

This new model was also a sub-brand of Xinmeng Automobile, targeting the high-end market, prepped to penetrate the foreign markets.

Although Xinmeng Automobile intended to be public-friendly, securing the high-end market was also essential.

It’s about time to earn money overseas rather than letting foreign cars just earn money in our domestic market.

Upon receiving this news, Han Jin opened a bottle of fine wine.

A red wine that had been treasured for a dozen years.

He was too excited; now, he knew Wu Feng’s intentions.

This move was truly ruthless.

“Boss, Xiao Yulan is very astute, but she would never dream that she has still fallen into our trap,”

Han Jin’s subordinate said, clinking glasses in a toast and laughing.

“But boss, I still don’t understand—what kind of trap is this?

Now that Xinmeng Group is in desperate need of these raw materials, aren’t we just helping them by directly delivering the materials?”

Han Jin smiled and said, “That’s where Wu Feng’s brilliance lies.

Tell me, what does Xinmeng Group need these materials for?”

“To produce high-end brand cars.

It’s said that there are already many orders from abroad.

Those foreigners really lack backbone; they accepted Xinmeng Automobile so quickly.

I thought they would look down on it,” said the subordinate.

“I don’t care about whether the foreigners have backbone or not, but what if Xinmeng Automobile, having taken such a huge order, can’t deliver on time?

What do you think will happen?”

Han Jin sneered.

“They’ll lose credibility for sure, might even lose the overseas market outright, and suffer a substantial financial loss,”

the subordinate replied.

You can imagine, at that time, Xinmeng Group would be severely criticized.

Additionally, the cash flow from purchasing raw materials would not be recoverable, products would be overstocked, and it might even lead directly to the collapse of Xinmeng Automobile.

Xinmeng Automobile is an important part of Xinmeng Group.

If it goes down, the whole Xinmeng Group’s plans will be hindered.

This is no small matter.

“Jincheng City Port is held in the hands of Zhou Family.

As long as Zhou Family doesn’t fall, the port will not allow Xinmeng Group to use it.

In the end, Xinmeng Group will have to choose to use Tianhai City Port, but the problem is, the round trip significantly increases the cost.

Moreover, many transportation companies from Jincheng to Tianhai are also under the control of Zhou Family and Huang Family.

Whether they can transport the goods is another issue.

Don’t think that Xinmeng Group handled Zhou Group’s Blue Sea branch company with ease; remember that it was the weakest link amongst the five main branches.

The most frightening are actually the Jincheng and Glazed Glass City branches.

One is the necessary route to the Northern Border; the other is the Jincheng City Port.

As long as these two places stand firm, it’s akin to having Xinmeng Group by the throat, ready to be strangled at any moment.
