The meal was over, Ren Qianbo immediately rushed to Wang Yao and chatted with Station Master Wang about the situation. He hoped to cut off Lu Feng's ability to earn cash directly.

This was his strategic position. As long as the grain station made things difficult for him and had a backlog, his capital chain would be tense.

Station Master Wang looked at him and considered Ren Qianbo’s information. He started to laugh. Lu Feng selling food to the Grain Station was legal and compliant, so he did not need to make things difficult.

Station Master Wang noticed that something was not right, but he did not make a move. He was afraid, so he decided not to take the risk.

Moreover, the reform in Grain Station was no longer the same as the original grain standard. It was slowly starting to implement the standard market mechanisms. The Grain Station was bigger than Lu Feng.

Next morning: as the commission turned into three cents, Lu Feng's workshop once again had a long line, showing a lively scene.

The vendors had loaded some of the accumulated stock in the stall-cars. A few days ago, the shipment timing was very tight, and he had to send the cars to leave without them being fully loaded. It was tough to deliver the rest of the goods to the cars directly.

However, it was still shipped no matter how hectic it was that day.

"Brother Feng, Zhou Hao, and his company told us to load for them first." Datou ran over and informed.

"Let them line up, start treating everyone equally. Do you understand?"

"A lot of people are saying that you beat up Zhou Hao's wife at the mall and said that you were targeting them; the rumors are very mysterious. They say that the two of you have a grudge against each other. Just now, someone took the lead and said that if we don't load the goods here, they will go elsewhere."

Lu Feng snorted and lit a cigarette, remaining silent.

Han Dong walked over and squatted beside Lu Feng. He whispered, "Boss Lu, did you hear that the Wanyuan Food Factory has officially started producing canned food like ours today? It's making a lot of noise; however, we've already compromised to three cents; we’ll be okay, I think."

"There are more than five workshops!" Datou added.

"Three cents, isn't that too much?" Han Dong muttered, "Let's back down a little."

"Three cents is too much? Did you eat shit before coming here?" Lu Feng said," The days of making money have passed. The price will fluctuate wildly. It might even be four cents soon. Those big car drivers are unreliable. They will run away when they find a factory handing out a better commission. Even a few wholesalers will have to leave the business. We don’t need to worry about the small workshops. If I don't do anything, Ren Qianbo will kill them too."

"But the profit has fallen by too much. Price of local fruits has increased; we've given them so much already." Datou felt a little helpless.

"How much money do you have? Large-scale business competitions can cost from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. Once a business empire is formed, a big-money-burning battle will start. Even if there are more than a billion, they will all be cannon fodder."

A billion?

That kind of money is cannon fodder?

Datou and Han Dong were thunderstruck. They could not find a single person in the entire country with a billion dollars. They could not imagine with so much money.

Lu Feng knew the market competition had already begun; in fact, when Ren Qianbo stopped him, he was already doomed to be in the current situation. Sure enough, at 1 PM, WanYuan factory offered three and a half cents.

There was no trace of the carts on the side of the workshop, leaving only a few small traders. They were the ones that sold some fresh vegetables and fruits, along with the canned ones.

The goods started to pile up again, and the workers began to panic. They wondered if they were going to close down.

"Brother Feng, Zhou Hao's group has already run away. They weren’t loyal. They used to call me brother-in-law and ran away for a profit of fifty cents." He cursed angrily.

Lu Feng smiled. He had never even eaten the meat and wine of a fair-weather1 friend before, so it was simple for him to call Zhou Hao a brother.

"Brother Feng, you can still laugh?"

"Can worrying solve the problem? It's better to have fun!" Lu Feng looked at the vendors around him and thought to himself, Ren Qianbo should still have a backup plan .

The Grain Station still collected grain in the morning, which meant that he hasn’t cut off Station Master Wang's line. This calmed Lu Feng's heart.

Manager's Office, the Wanyuan Factory: Ren Qianbo sat on a boss chair. Behind him was a luxuriously decorated hanging calligraphy; It conveyed the words, 'Grossing Financial Resources'.

Opposite to him sat Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin. Zhou Jianguo said, "Chief Ren is rich and confident. Lu Feng was fated to be crippled the moment he made a move. He was just pretending and lying; I was blind too. It is unbelievable I know such a brother."

"That's right; he doesn’t deserve to be compared to President Ren. President Ren's hair is thicker than his leg2."

"Of course, it's only a matter of time before he goes bankrupt!" Wu Hongyu stood by the side and gritted his teeth as he said, "A piece of trash like Lu Feng is just lucky. Now that his dog shit luck is over, I heard that the car that went to his shop is gone."

Ren Qianbo enjoyed the praise, but he was also an experienced businessman. He knew one thing very well. A lion fighting a rabbit would also use a rabbit. He looked at Zhou Jianguo and asked, "He used your house, right?"

"That's right!"

"He cheated you so badly, and you even gave him a house. Isn't that insulting?"

Zhou Jianguo realized this and was infuriated. He stood up and shouted, "I'm going to chase him away right now! Damn it; he’s going too far."

"This is what you call a young man." Ren Qianbo remarked.

The goods began to pile up again in the workshop. Datou squatted at the door with a worried look on his face. Lu Feng wondered if he should go home and sleep. Then he saw a motorcycle racing over from afar.

When he saw Zhou Jianguo, Lu Feng smiled; he knew Ren Qianbo would not be able to sleep, and as expected, he had summoned Zhou Jianguo as his knife.

"Lu Feng, I'll allow you to move out till tomorrow morning; else, don't blame me for being forceful!" Zhou Jianguo pointed at Lu Feng and cursed, "This is my mother's house, you know?"

Datou stood up and argued, "Why are you talking like that to brother? Back then, we agreed to have a free house."

"F*ck off. What bullshit brother? Let me tell you, if you don't move by tomorrow morning, you are going to regret it."Zhou Jianguo said arrogantly.

Sun Longbin, standing by the side, said a few words.

"Ren Qianbo sent you here, right?" Lu Feng asked.

Just as Zhou Jianguo was about to agree, Sun Longbin acted smartly. He hurriedly said," No, it's just that he wants to take back what is his. You are taking it by force, you understand?

"If I don't move, what can you do? At that time, you agreed to it. It's a verbal agreement. You have the guts to tell me!" Lu Feng sneered and said, "As for the other schemes you have, please go ahead."

"Sure, if you don't move, it is going to get bloody!" Zhou Jianguo said viciously.

"No problem. Whatever happens, it will all be on your head. I'll pay $50,000 for a leg of yours. Do you think you can offer more money than me to stop it?" Lu Feng looked at him with a smile on his face. However, that smile made Zhou Jianguo's entire body turn cold. He was scared out of his wits.

$50,000?

It was well more than enough. The price was so high that it was scary.

"Just you wait!" Zhou Jianguo made a vicious remark and turned to leave.

On the way back, Sun Longbin said unhappily, "He's too arrogant. In the past, he was just a lackey behind us. We have to teach him a lesson and find someone!"

"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Jianguo roared, "If he says he'll buy my leg for $50,000, I have to look for someone. F*ck, I cannot risk getting hurt!"

Sun Longbin remained silent because he knew Lu Feng could use 50,000 dollars. They were no longer worthy of fighting him!
