Chapter 721: "Domineering" Beverage Company
Looking at the chaotic scene and hearing Liu Changsheng's screams, Liu Zongguang had no choice but to shout, "Stop!"
Although Mr. Lu was about to take over, the company still belonged to Liu Zongguang. After hearing his words, everyone stopped.
Liu Changsheng, with a bruised face and nose, used his hands and feet to crawl out from under a worker's crotch. He came to Liu Zongguang and cried with snot and tears: "Uncle, you have to make the decision for me."
Shao Tongfeng grinned and said mockingly, "What you did was illegal, and he himself is in a difficult situation, how can you ask him to make decisions for you?"
Liu Changsheng argued with his neck stiff, "How did I break the law? The company belongs to my uncle, and the money also belongs to my uncle. How can it be considered illegal for my uncle to take his own company's money? Whose law did he break? I took my uncle's money, and my uncle didn't say anything about me, so what qualifications do you have to say anything about me? What qualifications does the law have to control me?"
He had only graduated from junior high school, and was able to show off his power in the company entirely because of his relationship with Liu Zongguang. With his poor IQ, he simply couldn't understand that it was illegal for a boss to embezzle his own company's money.
Liu Zongguang was certainly not as unsophisticated as Liu Changsheng. Seeing Shao Tongfeng talking about all these things in broad daylight, his face suddenly turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "Are you threatening me?"
Shao Tongfeng also responded sharply, saying coldly: "I am emphasizing a fact. I hope that we can all part ways in peace this time. Mr. Liu, you should not want anything to happen that makes everyone unhappy, right?"
Liu Zongguang had a gloomy face and said nothing.
He understood Shao Tongfeng's threat, which was simply that if he did not give up and planned to continue making trouble, then Shao Tongfeng would expose his misappropriation of funds.
Lu Yiming's reputation was not something he could afford to offend. If he gave in now, he might be able to retain a bit of dignity. Otherwise, he would lose both the wife and the army.
"Let's go."
Liu Zongguang said to Liu Changsheng, "Tell them all to go back and do what they need to do."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When Liu Changsheng saw this, he immediately became anxious and chased after him while shouting: "Uncle, how could you do this, uncle? What do you think we should do, uncle..."
After watching Liu Zongguang and Liu Changsheng leave, Shao Tongfeng turned around and said to the workers present: "Everyone, this is how it is. I won't say much. You should work as you should. When Mr. Lu comes, everything that belongs to you will be yours. If anyone doesn't want to work here anymore, just tell me and you can leave after getting paid."
A worker laughed and said, "Manager Shao, look at what you said. Mr. Lu is going to take over. Can I leave? Even if you drive me away, I won't leave."
The others laughed too.
"That's right. If I could work for Mr. Lu, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. Why would I leave?"
"I heard that Mr. Lu is very generous to his subordinates. I wonder if Mr. Lu will give us a raise after he takes over?"
"You think too much. As for me, as long as my monthly salary is paid on time and in full, and I get holidays according to the law, I'll be fine."
"Don't talk about it. I'll be thankful if my boss can follow the Geneva Convention."
"Mr. Lu is not that bad, don't worry."
"Everyone, go away and get to work."
It was late at night, but Liu Fanhui was still sitting alone at the bar, drinking one glass after another. His face was a little pale, but his eyes were red, which was a little scary at first glance.
Xie Haibo and Zhao Qingfeng were twisting their waists on the dance floor, releasing their excess hormones.
After a while, when the music broke, a few people walked down the dance floor and came towards Liu Fanhui with playful expressions on their faces.
Xie Haibo said sarcastically: "Hey, isn't this our Young Master Liu? I haven't seen him drink much in a few days."
Zhao Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't just drink, eat some peanuts."
Listening to everyone's ridicule, Liu even more furious and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"
Xie Haibo, who had already disliked Liu Fanhui, said with contempt, "Do you think you are still the eldest son of a wealthy family? Wujixian is about to go bankrupt, and your Liu family is about to become completely obsolete. You actually dare to show off in front of us. Who are you showing off to?"
"Haha, that's right, you really think you're still a young master? Mr. Liu, can you afford the wine tonight? How about you crawl under my crotch and I'll pay for the meal?"
When the rich second-generations around heard this, they all laughed out loud.
Although Liu Fanhui didn't know the specific situation at home, he could detect some clues when he saw that Liu Zongguang had a gloomy face all day and often quarreled with Ding Lan in recent days.
Liu Fanhui sighed in his heart that a phoenix falling to the ground is no better than a chicken, and left the bar. After returning home, he saw that the light was still on in Liu Zongguang's study, so he knocked on the door and went in.
"dad."
Liu Zongguang, who was reading a document, looked up and saw Liu Fanhui, who was drunk. He frowned and almost cursed again, but he held back and said with a dark face: "You still remember to come back?"
If it were before, Liu Fanhui would have said something back, or at least argued, but today, he had no interest at all. He felt that he had experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature. He just asked hopefully, "Dad, is there still hope for Infinity?"
Having been a rich young man for so many years, he has become accustomed to a life of lavish spending. Naturally, he does not want to fall from the clouds to the dust and become lost in the crowd.
Seeing Liu Fanhui like this, Liu Zongguang remembered that this matter was caused by Liu Fanhui. Liu Zongguang was so angry that he stood up and slapped Liu Fanhui in the face, cursing: "You still ask! Isn't it because of you, an idiot? Such an obvious trap, you fucking jumped into it! Advertise in the newspaper to discredit the richest man in Asia? What kind of dog brain can you think of such a stupid thing? If you have this ability, why don't you become the richest man? Damn it, I worked hard for decades, and you ruined it all in a few days!"
When Ding Lan heard the noise, she hurriedly got up, ran into the study, blocked Liu Fanhui, and angrily scolded Liu Zongguang: "Liu, you have no ability at all, and you just take it out on my mother and me at home. Are you still a man?"
Liu Fanhui covered his burning cheeks and said in disbelief, "What did you say? Is it Mr. Lu who is messing with us?"
He was a little overwhelmed. He really didn't expect that he would cause such a huge disaster just to embarrass Li Zihan.
"Haha, now you know? Is there any hope? Do you think you can still be saved after being targeted by Mr. Lu, the richest man?"
Today, the Liu family is completely powerless to recover.
Infinite bankruptcy has become a foregone conclusion. Under Lu Yiming's relentless pressure , Liu Zongguang has no strength to struggle and can only exit in disgrace.
Because if he doesn't leave, bankruptcy won't be the solution, and he might even go to jail.
Thinking of this, Liu Zongguan couldn't help but burst into tears. He hated himself for being so indulgent and doting on his son over the years, causing him to get into trouble every day. This time, he hit a wall, and even he, as a father, was badly hurt.
A few days later, Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. officially announced its bankruptcy in front of the shocked eyes of all its peers.
Naturally, no one would be willing to take over such a debt-ridden sunset enterprise. After all, the health care product market is now seriously saturated. In order to compete, the industry is full of fierce fighting and price wars are bloody. Anyone who knows some inside information does not intend to take over such a mess left by Liu Zongguang.
The bankruptcy of Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. once again sounded the alarm for practitioners in related industries.
The reason why Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. has fallen to its current state is certainly due to its own poor management, the rich second generation's own mistakes and other reasons, but it is an indisputable fact that the health products industry is not easy to do business in.
After going through the entire bankruptcy process, the assets of Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. were liquidated and put up for auction.
Naturally, no one is willing to accept such non-performing assets, and the auction price is getting lower and lower every day.
When the price dropped to only 160 million, the court finally issued an announcement that all assets and debts of Infinity Health Products Company would be taken over by Future Capital.
Li Yiwen, who was about to get married, had to free up his hands and spend several days dealing with the transfer of assets and debts.
After completing all the formalities, Li Yiwen threw the documents in front of Lu Yiming: "You spent 160 million and received 700 million in debt, so the total cost was more than 800 million. Some people outside said that you made a loss."
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "The energy drink market in the future is bigger than you can imagine. If we do well, we can have a revenue of more than 10 billion a year. A debt of a few hundred million is nothing. Those who say I am losing money have no vision."
Li Yiwen originally wanted to say that this deal was not cost-effective, but after hearing Lu Yiming's last sentence, he quickly shut up.
Then, Lu Yiming said, "What's more, Infinity is not completely useless. Although the health care product market has indeed shrunk over the years, the sales channels that Shao Tongfeng and his sales team have worked so hard to develop are still there. By making good use of this advantage, our new products can easily open up the market. Compared with this benefit, Infinity's debt is really just a small matter. Maybe we can earn it back in a few months."
Li Yiwen nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Establishing a channel is a very troublesome thing and takes a long time. If you can have a ready-made channel to realize the cash directly, then you definitely don't need this little money."
After finishing his business, Lu Yiming started to care about Li Yiwen's wedding: "Your wedding is only a few days away, how are the preparations going?"
Li Yiwen said with some pride: "Zixian will take care of the wedding dress and the hotel, so I don't have to worry about anything. As for me, I just need to stand at the door of the hotel with her to welcome guests."
Li Yiwen felt like his mouth was about to be crooked with smiles at the chance to marry such a virtuous, beautiful, and well-educated wife.
Then he asked, "By the way, I recently hired a teacher to teach me etiquette. Do you think my smile is standard? Isn't it handsome?"
Lu Yiming glanced at him and laughed, "Haha, I don't know if he's handsome or not, but I just think he's a little funny."
When Li Yiwen heard this, he immediately became unhappy and cursed, "Damn, didn't I waste my money?"
"Looks like you should be like this."
“…”
After successfully taking over Infinity, Lu Yiming established the Domineering Beverage Company, with Shao Tongfeng as the general manager of the company. He formed a research and development team to develop and produce a vitamin functional beverage.
In the industrial park, on the day when the Domineering Beverage Company was listed, Liu Zongguang stood at the door and silently watched the workers scrape off the words "Infinite Health Products Company" on the wall, dropped them to the ground and shattered them, and then replaced them with the Domineering Beverage Company logo.
From this moment on, the era of Liu Zongguang officially ended.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was Li Yiwen's wedding date.
On this morning, just after daybreak, a rumbling sound was heard in the sky above Baiyun City. People who got up early all raised their heads and looked towards the sky.
It turned out that there were nine helicopters, pulling red ribbons and banners, flying across the sky over the city from south to north.
"I wish Mr. Li Yiwen and Ms. Li Zixian a happy marriage and a long and happy life together."
The banners all have text like this.
People on the street were amazed.
"Li Zixian? Isn't this the beautiful hostess from the TV station? Is she getting married?"
"A helicopter leads the way. What a grand spectacle. Wow."
"I'm so envious. I wonder which rich young master she married."
"It would be nice if I had this card when I get married."
Many girls had stars in their eyes and began to fantasize about their own prince charming.
If ordinary people get a Santana sedan as the lead car when they get married, they are considered quite well off. But Li Zixian's wedding was even better. She had nine helicopters in the sky leading the way. This was really a grand occasion.
And that’s not all. On Baiyun Avenue, nine black Rolls-Royce Silver Angel convertibles, decorated with flowers and balloons, moved slowly forward to the tune of "Wedding in My Dream".
Behind the Rolls-Royce Silver Angel were nine black Audi A8s, which were well-balanced and equally imposing.
Such an awesome convoy is really hard to take your eyes off.
"I know this bride. She's a top beauty from the TV station. If you accept this marriage, you'll enjoy happiness for the rest of your life."
"This guy is too rich. This car doesn't look cheap at all."
"This is a Rolls-Royce! I saw it in a magazine. It seems to cost tens of millions!"
The wedding of Li Yiwen and Li Zixian was held at the White Swan Hotel.
As early as three days ago, Li Yiwen booked the hotel and has now decorated it inside and out.
Nine Rolls-Royces and nine Audi A8Ls were parked neatly in the square in front of the hotel. Ninety-nine specially made large fireworks soared into the sky, blooming into gorgeous flowers.
People passing by stopped and looked at the excitement curiously.
Suddenly, someone recognized the person next to the groom.
“Isn’t that Mr. Lu, the richest man?”
"Mr. Lu is the best man himself? Who is this groom?"
"Amazing! The richest man in Asia is the best man. What kind of grand occasion is this?"
The news that the best man was Lu Yiming spread quickly, causing a burst of exclamation, and everyone became even more curious about the identity of the groom.
What level of talent does the groom have to have the richest man in Asia as his best man?
As guests arrived one after another, many people recognized the important figures.
"That's Lin Yuantao, the richest man in Baiyun City."
"I know that. Zheng Youyuan from Youyuan Electronics Factory is now doing very well in cross-border trade. It is said that he has the ability to compete with Lin Yuantao for the title of richest man!"
"That's from New Hope Group..."
As each guest entered the venue, the crowd kept exclaiming in surprise.
Many business tycoons who had only been seen on TV showed up and attended Li Zixian's wedding.
After a long time, someone finally revealed the identity of the groom.
"Oh my god! I finally remembered who the groom is! Li Yiwen, the CFO of Future Capital, the cousin of Mr. Lu, the richest man, and a big shot on Xia Country's wealth list!"
Li Yiwen is the type of person who works silently all the time. He is on the road much less often than Lu Yiming, so few people know about him.
As time went by, guests came in one after another, and the spacious first floor of the White Swan Hotel became crowded.
Li Yiwen's wedding was an opportunity to curry favor with Lu Yiming, so in addition to those who received the invitation, many people also tried their best to get in and attend through various means. Therefore, the number of people was much greater than expected.
At the entrance of the hotel, the gifts and cash gifts piled up into a small mountain, which looked spectacular.
Li Quanwang handed over the gift list in his hand, and seeing that Lu Yiming had nothing in his hands, he said, "Brother Wen is getting married, you don't want to save even the red envelope, do you?"
Lu Yiming smiled and looked at Li Yiwen: "I won't give you any gift money. The private jet I bought before, it belongs to you now."
Li Yiwen, who was standing at the door and bowing to the guests, almost knelt down to Lu Yiming after hearing this.
The guests around were also quite surprised.
"Fuck, is it really that extravagant to just send a private jet?"
"That Gulfstream GIV is worth 30 million US dollars, which means it's more than 200 million. Can you just give it away like that?"
Li Yiwen also found it unbelievable and asked, "You gave me the plane, what will you take when you travel in the future?"
Lu Yiming said calmly: "I have to go to America again in a few days, I will buy another one then, it's not expensive anyway."
“…”
Is this even human language?
After getting married, Li Yiwen and Li Zixian went on their honeymoon soon. When the plane that Li Yiwen often took was registered with his name, he even rejected Lu Yiming's pioneering suggestion of choosing the United States as the honeymoon destination so that Lu Yiming could be sent to the United States at the same time, and insisted on buying a plane ticket for Lu Yiming.
In the Bi Hai Long Ting villa, Lu Yiming looked at the plane ticket Zhao Tiezhu brought back and wanted to cry: "This guy, who has no humanity for the opposite sex, refused to give me a ride, and the ticket was economy class... I think this guy is taking revenge on me !"
Shi Qingxue, who was packing Lu Yiming's luggage, couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Who told you to send people on business trips all the time? They're on their honeymoon now."
Lu Yiming snorted and said, "Wait until he comes back and see how I deal with him! Xiaoxue, when I come back from the United States, we will have a good graduation trip. By then, I will take you to see the sunrise in the Maldives, take you to the Aegean Sea to see the fiery clouds in Santorini, take you to see the beaches, sunshine and rainforests in Fiji Island, and I will take you to see whatever you want to see. Leave everything to your cousin, humph!"
At this time, on the plane to Europe, Li Yiwen sneezed loudly and asked in confusion: "Who is thinking about me?"
