It was only this year that he'd visit the Qian family. Since they'd just started working together, a little pretense was necessary.
Besides, the thought of him fucking the Qian family's patriarch's wife made him feel a bit elated. It was nice, sure, but what was wrong with fucking someone else's wife?
After landing, a car picked him up; everything was perfectly arranged.
"I'm honored to have you here, Zhao An. Please come this way," Qian Ben said, smiling and inviting him, personally making him some tea.
It was simply because the logistics industry was profitable; it was practically a ready-made business. Just invest the manpower and resources, and if the online channels could supply enough goods, there was profit to be made.
"Congratulations on your prosperity, congratulations on your prosperity," Zhao An said, also offering a New Year's greeting. The moment he saw the green-haired turtle, he knew they would become close friends. Since they were friends, it made sense to help take care of the other's wife, a duty he couldn't refuse.
"That's thoughtful. The logistics channels have always been smooth. The Fang family had originally begun developing land-based logistics and transportation channels, but they temporarily stopped. I heard something happened to the Huang family's second young master." Qian Ben poured a cup of tea and gestured for a drink.
"That's a good thing. God has a way of letting them fight each other. That's good." Zhao An wouldn't admit that all this had anything to do with him, and no one would have thought it. After all, he had a perfect alibi. The occasional livestream from home proved he had never left his hometown.
"Haha, the Fang and Huang families are behemoths, not dogs. No matter who wants to fight my Qian family, we will fight to the bitter end!" Qian Ben wasn't afraid now. The Qian family came from coal mining families, and developing industries was to avoid being squeezed out in the future when resources were depleted.
"I'm not interested in these things. Investing and earning dividends is more practical." Zhao An took a sip from his teacup. After his sexual encounters with Qian Yuling and Tang Yin on the plane, he looked particularly exhausted. It was as if he'd been drained dry by two vixen, and needed some refueling.
"I heard from the people at Hengdu that you're a genius. Your name will definitely be on the Forbes rich list someday," Qian Ben complimented, half-jokingly. Everyone wants to work with a genius, they just don't have the channels.
Zhao An didn't take the compliment in stride. Instead, he let out a disdainful smile. "True wealthy people don't care about these so-called rankings. Do you think the Rothschilds care about them?"
"Haha, that's right. They're truly wealthy, living in seclusion. They don't care about this empty reputation," Qian Ben replied with a grin. Only after reaching a certain level of status would one realize there's something else in the world.
"To me, money is meaningless. Only by converting it into cash and making my life better, that's what matters." Zhao An lit a herbal cigarette, his eyes filled with disdain.
"I heard recently that Huang Meng has become quite successful, and the food delivery platform Chimo has also started. They're copying your tactics, so you might want to be careful," Qian Ben warned. This level wasn't within his reach. Rather, this part of the business wasn't within his reach; he was only responsible for transportation.
"Sometimes, replicating a successful example isn't always possible, but I'm not worried at all. You have to understand that monopolies are both profitable and dangerous. Having a rival to challenge you can be a good warning and motivate you to improve." Zhao An knew that if he eliminated one Chimo, there would be another, like Chimo.
This kind of situation only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. The only effective solution is for you to take the lion's share. Other companies and platforms take the smaller share. Eating the meat while giving the opponent the soup? Impossible, but footbath water is acceptable.
"I was just giving you a heads-up. Huang Meng has become even more treacherous this time. He's resorting to all sorts of tactics, and his despicable tactics are becoming increasingly sinister." Qian Ben was a little dissatisfied. This was a case of swatting the rabbits while swatting the grass, and it was affecting him as well.
"The Huang family is just going to let it go, right?" Zhao An tapped his fingers, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Huang Meng's tactics were indeed despicable. He deliberately ordered food and then claimed it was infested with bugs or unclean, even going so far as to send people to the hospital. His goal was to disgust the platform while simultaneously smearing and defaming it on a massive scale.
If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but with five or six orders coming in every day, how could they continue this kind of thing?
It wouldn't have no impact, but for the platform, the most they could do was announce follow-up oversight procedures and terminate their partnership with the offending restaurant. That's it.
The advantage of being a middleman is that they can easily get away with it, without a trace of responsibility.
"He's not the heir to the Huang family, so naturally, he doesn't need to worry about his image. He's just a mad dog. Young Master An, we have to find a way to retaliate. Otherwise, being so passive is not a solution!" Qian Ben began to plead for help. Such despicable tactics were no fun if they were repeated too often. Eventually, something bad would happen.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Zhao An's fingers tapped the tea table. "What do you think?"
"Talk to him, or ask a third party to intervene. This is simply vicious competition and illegal!" Qian Ben hadn't been paying much attention. The Qian and Huang families weren't on the same level, and just dealing with Huang Meng alone was already a bit overwhelming.
"Then why don't you send someone to remove his oxygen tube? Put an end to it all." Zhao An smiled, took a sip from his teacup.
He couldn't take action now; if he did, suspicion would be cast upon him. It's annoying for someone so wealthy and powerful to encounter someone who's unafraid of wearing shoes. And his status as the second young master of the Huang family also protected him from assassination.
The room was a little dull. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere felt awkward.
"The Huang family still hasn't expressed their stance, right?" Zhao An asked again.
Qian Ben nodded. "Yes, the Huang family is pretending to be ignorant of these matters."
"Then we'll take it back. We'll do the same as Huang Meng did." Zhao An blew out a smoke ring and began to make up his mind.
"This... this will hurt both sides, right?" Qian Ben was also a little frightened. If everyone acted recklessly, it would easily cause trouble.
"The Huang family doesn't care if the market order is disrupted, so what are you afraid of? Kind people are often bullied, and kind horses are often ridden. Just think about it." Suffering in silence was not Zhao An's style.
