Chapter 441 Darkness

"Are you Ji Longfen?"

"yes."

On the evening of January 15th, just after Ji Longfen, the president of APEX Company, cautiously admitted his identity, he saw the young man sitting on the chair in front of him and suddenly smiled, stood up from the mahogany chair and walked over to him.

Ji Longfen took two steps back, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Quickly, hold on to Mr. Ji, what's wrong with you? I just want to see what the president of APEX looks like. Why did you scare Mr. Ji?"

The young man helped Ji Longfen, who was still in shock, and made the CEO sit on the chair in the main hall of the Anliang Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown.

"Sorry, Mr. Fang, we misunderstood." Anliang Chamber of Commerce went to ask Mr. Ji to admit his mistake.

The young man, Fang Zhuo, returned to his seat with a smile, looked at Ji Longfen, and said kindly: "Mr. Ji, I'm really embarrassed to invite you over late at night. That's what happened. Do you know Mr. Ni from Changhong in China?" Right? He asked me to find you."

"It was hard to find Mr. Ji, so I couldn't wait to invite Mr. Ji over for a chat tonight."

Fang Zhuo looked at Ji Longfen's astonished face and suddenly felt rude: "Hurry up and give Mr. Ji a cup of tea. Xiao Li, go get wet wipes and wipe off the shoe prints on Mr. Ji's body."

Ji Longfen remained silent.

In the middle of the night, he was forcibly taken to the hall of the big house. The people standing on the left and right looked fierce, and the young man in the middle seemed easy to talk to, but in fact he was joking. I didn't expect Mr. Ni from Changhong to find such a person.

Logically speaking, Mr. Ni has lived in China for a long time, so it is impossible for him to have such a relationship.

Ji Longfen thought slowly. Seeing that the young man was silent, he asked tentatively: "I know Mr. Ni. I don't know how much Mr. Ni spent. I can give him double."

As soon as these words came out, the young man smiled unabashedly.

Ji Longfen knew something must have gone wrong.

But he became more and more calm: "APEX and Changhong do have some legal disputes. You may not know that we are already going through the legal process. Why should Mr. Ni do this?"

"Mr. Ni has returned to China. Oh, yes, I am Fang Zhuo. Mr. Ji may not know me, but Mr. Ni and I are good friends." Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea and introduced himself slowly.

Ji Longfen, who had just calmed down, was suddenly shocked again.

He knew Fang Zhuo, but he knew Fang Zhuo too well.

He also bought shares of Yike!

$35 in, $26 out!

"Fang, Mr. Fang? Yike?" Ji Longfen couldn't believe it. Isn't this a rising star on Wall Street? Aren’t you business leaders in related domestic industries? How could it be like this today?

He felt confused and suspicious. One moment he thought of Changhong, the other moment he thought of 26 US dollars...

"It's me. It seems that Mr. Ji has also heard of my name." Fang Zhuo admitted and said bluntly, "I am meeting Mr. Ji this time because I want to see how Mr. Ji solves the problem of APEX's fraud against Changhong."

When Ji Longfen heard about Changhong, he perked up and cried out: "Mr. Fang, our company is Changhong's overseas channel. Where is the fraud? If there is a dispute, it depends on the law."

Knowing that the person in front of him was the chairman of a listed company, he felt that tonight's matter would be easier to solve.

Fang Zhuo frowned slightly. The difficulty lies in this. The difficulty is that he is a reasonable person. From a legal perspective, there is no problem with Mr. Ji's words.

He sighed and raised his hand to drink tea without saying a word.

The people from the Anliang Chamber of Commerce silently stepped forward, skillfully blocked his mouth, and then pulled out the rubber rod.

After some struggle, Fang Zhuo changed his cup of tea and continued to ask: "What's going on with APEX and Changhong?"

Ji Longfen did not expect that tonight's approach would be so rough. He breathed in the air-conditioning and said, "Mr. Fang, you really misunderstood. There may be some misunderstandings between Mr. Ni and I."

Fang Zhuo was about to drink tea again, but when he saw someone from the Chamber of Commerce approaching, he suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."

Ji Longfen looked at the young president with hope in his eyes.

"I can't bear to see this kind of scene." Fang Zhuo whispered, indicating that there was a large courtyard outside.

Ji Longfen was dragged out.

After a cup of tea, Fang Zhuo asked the same question again.

Ji Longfen was dragged out again.

After another cup of tea, Fang Zhuo continued to ask.

Ji Longfen's eyes were swollen and he finally relaxed: "Mr. Fang, APEX and Changhong have some payment problems. Because of our channel turnover, the payment is slow. I, I am willing to do my best to pay Changhong as soon as possible."

Fang Zhuo said nothing.

The people from the Anliang Chamber of Commerce planned to eliminate violence in Anliang again.

"Hey, what's going on?" Fang Zhuo stopped him, "Pour some tea for Mr. Ji."

Ji Longfen was relieved and felt that the physical pain ahead was really something he shouldn't have to endure.

Fang Zhuo did not comment on Mr. Ji's willingness to pay back the money. He took the document from the table, flipped it over, and read: "I moved to Room 502, Apartment 16, 17th Street, midtown Manhattan a month ago. The second one on December 16th. I went to Wal-Mart for shopping on the 17th and went back to the apartment with a female companion on the 17th. I went to gamble a lot on the 18th. Is this Mr. Ji? "

Ji Longfen was speechless after listening to this record. This was clearer than he could remember.

A sudden connection occurred in his mind. What Mr. Fang said earlier, "He asked me to find you" was not true... Otherwise, Mr. Ni would not be able to see him before returning to China!

So what are you doing tonight?

Ji Longfen looked hard at the young president's eyes, was silent for a while, and asked: "President Fang, Mr. Fang, what do you want?"

Fang Zhuo gently asked: "Why does APEX owe the payment?"

Does the payment need a reason?

Of course it's for money.

But if it was just this answer, he wouldn't have asked this question after all the trouble tonight.

Mr. Fang and Mr. Ni are not friends, but enemies, right?

Ji Longfen weighed the pros and cons for three seconds and simply negotiated: "Mr. Fang, I have a recording, what can I get?"

"Oh, so that's it." Fang Zhuo nodded slightly. Sure enough, how could such a person not hold back? He smiled and reminded, "Mr. Ji, you may not realize that you have no choice today."

Ji Longfen insisted: "What can I get?"

Fang Zhuo stopped talking.

Ji Longfen was dragged out.

The people of the Chamber of Commerce went to Ji Longfen's apartment to find the recording.

However, Fang Zhuo didn't have much hope for the result of the search, and still believed that Mr. Ji should cooperate well.

This time Mr. Ji was dragged out for a long time.

When he saw Mr. Fang again, he couldn't bear the pain and confessed that the recording was saved on the Internet.

Fang Zhuo was very satisfied with this attitude of cooperation. He did not immediately ask to hear the content of the recording. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, it is not a long-term solution for your APEX company to continue like this. Changhong will definitely win the lawsuit sooner or later. At that time, what will you and your company have left?"

Ji Longfen has accepted his fate today. He didn't know that this was the Anliang Chamber of Commerce until he was dragged out. He lived in Chinatown for half a month and heard about the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce to some extent: "Mr. Fang, what do you want?"

"It's not about anything, but that we can have good cooperation." Fang Zhuo said, "There will be a company that signs an agreement with APEX to transfer the sales of Changhong products in Walmart in the United States. The transfer fee will be within a reasonable range."

APEX has no goodwill. Fang Zhuo is not interested in this company. He only plans to divest Changhong's overseas sales business. The purpose is not to make a profit, but to make the channel flow of Changhong → middleman → Walmart normal.

Changhong will not believe APEX, but will carefully consider a richest man riding a white horse. At the same time, Yike itself has very convincing overseas achievements.

When such a bargaining chip stands on Ni Runfeng's side, it helps him solve the overseas problems that are criticized. The existence of the recording guarantees a certain degree of soft and hard tactics. It may not be used, but it is necessary to exist.

The chip in the TV is not its most important part. I believe that Changhong will work together to find a certain voice based on friendly cooperation.

Ji Longfen weighed silently.

Before he could weigh anything, two loan agreements from Anliang Chamber of Commerce were photographed in front of him.

Ji Longfen did not want to borrow money.

Ji Longfen signed and borrowed money.

The rest of the things became boring. At least, Fang Zhuo felt this way, so he said goodbye to Mr. Ji and did not want to affect Anliang Chamber of Commerce's announcement of the content of the loan to the contract subject.

In the next few days, APEX and the third-party company will also have their own special person to handle the package contract.

It was not until the early morning that Ji Longfen walked out of the courtyard of Anliang Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown.

He returned to the apartment with a dusty face and did not fall asleep until the early morning.

When it was dawn, Ji Longfen sat up suddenly. The anger and fear in his heart made him sneak out of the door.

The loan agreement was signed, but it was still unacceptable to be controlled like this. Especially when he thought of the smile of the president of the listed company last night, it was like a flame burning in his heart.

Ji Longfen decided to anonymously expose the news to the Wall Street Journal, exposing that the Chinese man was not as glamorous as the media wrote, and there were shameful things behind the scenes!

The call was connected without much effort, and the reporter also thanked the anonymous person for the news during the call.

Then, the reporter contacted Goldman Sachs, which had a cooperative relationship with his own company. Previously, Goldman Sachs had commissioned the media to help build the image of Yi Ke’s president, and the Wall Street Journal was an important member.

The head of the public relations department of Goldman Sachs burst into the anger of a capitalist when he received the notice. Yi Ke’s stock had not cut the last wave of leeks due to the accidental market crash, and someone else broke the news?

Is this to make the trap deeper?

That night, Ji Longfen, exhausted physically and mentally, took two melatonin pills and lay in bed to rest. His whole body was aching.

In the early hours of the morning, he was pulled up by someone familiar.

"You are the one who called the newspaper?"

"Didn't I make it clear to you last night?"

"Come on, come on!"

Ji Longfen was dragged to the Anliang Chamber of Commerce again in grief and inexplicable anger, and this time he didn't even see Mr. Fang.

More grief and indignation than yesterday! More inexplicable than yesterday!

It was obviously an anonymous call!

It was obviously a call to the largest financial media on Wall Street!

Why, why!

This is New York!

Why is it so dark!
