Chapter 382: Chapter 381: The Silk Pouch Again
Upon hearing that Peak Group was going to buy their premium antler, the father and son, Li Gang and Li Zhe, along with Zhao Xinyao, clapped their hands and laughed excitedly.
Li Zhe stood up suddenly and asked, “Did they negotiate on the price?”
The employee said, “They did, but we didn’t budge. In the end, they spent one hundred million on premium antler that’s actually worth only ten million.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhe burst into laughter and said, “Hahaha, it seems Peak Group is really desperate, spending ten times the price. We’re going to make a fortune from this.”
Li Gang nodded and smiled, telling Zhao Xinyao, “It seems President Zhao is truly our lucky star, just joined our group and already achieved a great victory.”
Zhao Xinyao smirked and said, “However, the main thing now is to block all supply channels and ensure Peak Group can’t buy premium antler from elsewhere.”
Li Gang replied, “Rest assured, I’ve acquired the three main suppliers, and I’ve also placed spies on all sea routes and shipping lines. We’ll know immediately if any premium antler enters Wanghai City.”
Li Zhe clapped his hands and said, “Let’s see how Wang Yan escapes this time. I bet in less than a month, he’ll be reduced to a beggar. Hahaha, when he starts begging, I’ll personally give him a dollar.”
…
Inside Peak Group.
San watched the endless stream of premium antler being transported into the Peak Group factory, his expression growing serious as he sighed repeatedly.
Next to him, Li said, “President, we’ve bought a hundred million worth of premium antler, but it will only sustain our production for a week. After that, we’ll face another shortage.”
San shook his head, “Buying premium antler at such high prices is like drinking poison to quench thirst. By next week, I’m afraid Li Gang and his son will raise the price again. What will we do then?”
Li said, “But after a week, we should have found a new supply channel, and by then we won’t have to buy Gangzhe Group’s premium antler anymore.”
San sighed and said, “Let’s hope so, but I have a feeling it won’t be that simple. By the way, what’s the boss doing lately?”
Li replied, “It seems like the boss has taken Beiming and Ouyang out to sea for a trip.”
San sighed again, “This… it seems the boss has changed; how can he still think of playing at such a critical time?”
Li said, “But the boss left a pouch, saying it should be opened only after we run out of stock in a week.”
San’s eyes lit up, “Could it be that the boss has everything planned already?”
Li said, “Maybe so, when the boss took the two ladies out to sea, he asked me to reassure you that everything is under control.”
Only then did San breathe a sigh of relief and say, “Alright, let’s hope everything is part of the boss’s plan.”
As for Wang Yan and the other two’s whereabouts, no one seemed to know, though some reported spotting the three on the sea, leisurely sunbathing on a yacht.
At this moment, Wang Yan, like all the wealthy, was indeed indulging in decadence.
A week later.
The situation within Peak Group was in chaos.
Because premium antler was once again out of stock, the factory was again in danger of halting production. On top of that, the 50 million worth of premium antler they managed to buy from overseas was bought up by Gangzhe Group at an inflated price of 60 million.
Gangzhe Group then intended to sell it back to them at a markup of 500 million.
Upon receiving this news, San was immediately flustered and hastily opened the pouch left by Wang Yan.
Yet, as soon as he opened the pouch, San’s face grew even more grave, and with a long sigh, he tossed the pouch onto the table.
Li quickly picked up the pouch to check, only to find the note inside read, “Continue to buy Gangzhe Group’s premium antler, regardless of the price.”
After seeing this, Li panicked, “What is Wang Yan thinking? Do we really have to buy from Gangzhe Group at ten times the price again? At this rate, in another week, the entire Peak Group might collapse.”
San waved his hand and said, “Do as the boss says and buy another hundred million worth of premium antler.”
“Sir! We can’t blindly follow the boss’s orders like this; the entire Peak Group will be buried in his hands.” Li shouted urgently.
However, San merely waved his hand, looked down, and refused to meet Li’s gaze.
Frustrated but helpless, Li stomped her foot, but in the end, she had no choice but to turn and leave, slamming the door behind her with a loud “bang.”
After Li left, San finally lifted his head, a subtle smile appearing on his face. “Boss, oh boss, I think I’ve guessed your plan. But such an outlandish idea, I really don’t know how you came up with it. It seems the boss is truly the boss. Now the 200 million bait has been thrown in, I just have to sit back and leisurely watch the prey take the bait.”
The news that Peak Group once again purchased Gangzhe Group’s premium antler at a high price of one hundred million spread like wildfire throughout Wanghai City.
In Ouyang Group, Ouyang Lieqing sat in his spacious office overlooking the sea, shaking his head slightly and telling several subordinates, “Youngsters are just youngsters, though they start strong, they still can’t withstand the big storms.”
One of the senior staff quickly agreed, “The president is right. Like our Ouyang Group that has weathered many storms, we’re the true winners.”
Ouyang Lieqing smiled slightly and said, “Wang Yan, San, they’re still too young. By the way, where has Ouyang Feiting been these past few days?”
The staff exchanged glances, and finally, one of them said, “It’s said someone saw Miss on the sea. She was out on a yacht with Wang Yan and Beiming Xue from the Beiming Family.”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lieqing’s eyes widened in anger, “This is outrageous! A young lady behaving so recklessly, and how is Beiming Xue involved in this too? Young people these days are really incomprehensible. Immediately send someone to bring Ouyang Feiting back. We can’t have any association with this Peak Group. If they go bankrupt and ask us for money, do we lend it or not?”
On the sea.
The sky was clear, a golden sun hanging in the blue sky, casting warm sunlight upon the sea. A gentle sea breeze created patterns of golden scales across the calm sea surface.
On a luxurious yacht, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting were lying in bikinis that barely covered anything, enjoying the gentle sunlight.
“Where’s Wang Yan?” Beiming Xue sipped her iced cocktail and asked Ouyang Feiting.
“Not sure, he might have jumped into the sea again.”
“Pfft—” Beiming Xue couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect Wang Yan to be so conservative, not even daring to look at bikinis.”
Just then, a huge splash erupted from the sea as Wang Yan shot out from beneath the water, accompanied by a flurry of white water, and landed steadily back on the yacht.
Seeing Wang Yan return, Ouyang Feiting jumped up and exclaimed, “Wang Yan, come quickly and look at my Demon Pattern!”
With that, Ouyang Feiting lunged towards Wang Yan.
