Chapter 31: Threats and Counter-Threats
Baijia was the top jeweler in N City in the past, but in the past ten years, due to a series of events such as unfavorable business and the sale of counterfeits in its jewelry stores, word of mouth has plummeted, and market sales have also plummeted, resulting in the gradual decline of Bai's enterprise.
However, after all, it was a Sino-foreign joint venture that seized the opportunity to establish at the beginning of reform and opening up, and it has domestic and foreign forces and a deep foundation. Although it has now taken a back seat in N City, it is still struggling to return to the top of the past.
At that time, the gold jewelry sold by Bai's jewelry store was exposed to be mixed with brass, which was shoddy, and the customer's request for a full refund was refused, and a civil lawsuit was filed in a rage, and the lawsuit was won.
It's strange to say, at that time, the Bai family was also the jewelry leader in N City, how could it be so easy to be sued by a customer? There may be something else wrong with this.
After the Bai family was lonely, it was the Qin family who was engaged in the comprehensive industry that rose, and the Bai family suspected that the Qin family was behind the scenes, but on the other hand, they still had to cooperate with the Qin family. On a certain level, the current Bai clan wants to climb up with the big tree of the Qin clan.
At first, Qin and Bai reached a cooperation, but Bai still did not change, and after the cooperation, he continued to return to his old business, selling at a seller, and Qin terminated the contract with Bai on the grounds of affecting his reputation.
Yule Media, which was registered in N City only six years ago, has been invited by Qin's initiative to cooperate for many years, and has now developed into the most influential entertainment company in N City and one of the top ten entertainment companies in China.
Qin's heaviest promise is that if he takes the initiative to cast an olive branch, for the sake of reputation, he will never break the contract.
Yu Wenmu didn't expect that in order to get the cooperation agreement that the Qin family took the initiative to invest in Yu Le this year, the Bai family actually hit him on the head and tied him up as a threat.
Tian Yaju, which is specially designed for business negotiation in N City, is located at the top of the city's business center building.
The decoration style of Tianyaju is like a Japanese teahouse, quite a Tang Dynasty architectural heritage, in addition to the main decoration of the logs, the teahouse is surrounded by transparent soundproof walls, open the screen to see the whole picture of N city, close the screen, as if coming to another silent world.
There are several tea cups on the high-grade rosewood carved long table, and a few tea leaves float in the light green water in the bowls, and a few wisps of white mist are scattered on the water surface. There is a stove next to it, and only a candle is lit in the ding, but the purple clay pot on it is boiling water, the spout is bubbling with mist, and the boiling water is spilling out with a puff on the lid of the pot.
Yu Wenmu suddenly blew out the candle in Dingzhong, the lid of the purple clay pot stopped beating, and the water stopped overflowing, only the white water vapor from the mouth of the pot was still coming out.
"When my girlfriend had an accident, Mr. Yu was calm, and he still had the leisure to make tea?"
"The boiling temperature of the tea is too low to cook the tea taste, and the temperature is too high and the tea fragrance will be boiled to death, so you must control the heat of the boiling water, Bai Dong, you say, am I right or not?"
Compared with Yu Wenmu's calmness, Bai Tianning seemed a little anxious, and asked, "Has the cooperation agreement been brought?" ”
Yu Wenmu didn't answer, took a sip of tea from the azure teacup in front of him, and looked calm.
Yu Wenmu pushed a cup of tea brewed before the water boiled in front of Bai Tianning: "In autumn, the weather is dry and dry, and it is easy to get angry if you have too much entertainment. ”
"Mr. Yu is sitting on hundreds of millions of assets, can he only afford to invite the poor people in this mountain village to tea?" During the day, Ning didn't touch the bitter tea, so he said with disgust, "Where is this bitter taste and sweet aftertaste, it is obviously poor and sour." ”
"Bai Dong really grew up with a golden spoon, except for the taste of money, he has never tasted anything, as for this bitter taste, even if you don't want to try it now, there will be a long time in the future, and there is a chance."
Bai Tian Ning said ruthlessly in annoyance: "It seems that you don't care much about your girlfriend's life and death!" ”
"Even if it's not my girlfriend, presumably Bai Dong is reluctant to do anything to her, right?"
Bai Tianning's face changed suddenly, he looked at Yu Wenmu in horror, and asked with a stammer: "You...... What do you know? ”
"What do I think I should know?" Yu Wenmu still looked light-hearted, with an unknown smile in his eyes under the mask.
During the day, Ning Qi's face is red, and his temples throb abruptly, which is a typical symptom of Fugui's disease.
Yu Wenmu opened the purple clay pot, tried it with a thermometer, and showed that the water had cooled to 80 degrees Celsius, so he showed another tea ceremony, and finally handed the finished product to Bai Tianning:
"I forgot to tell you Bai Dong, although this Kuding tea is only drunk by the poor, he specializes in treating the diseases of wealth and nobility, especially for excessive liver fire. This cup is specially prepared for Bai Dong, whether to drink it or not, how you want to drink it, you can think about it. ”
This time, Bai Bai Ning took the cup, endured the bitterness and piping hot, and actually swallowed the bitter tea.
-
The weather was nice and the sun was a little harsh.
Tao Yaoyao sat in front of the window, looking at the richly decorated room, and opened the curtains, downstairs is a spacious back garden, with lawns, flower beds, and fountains......
She didn't know where it was, but the middle-aged man had brought her here, and the servant had sent her to ask her to carry it, but she was not allowed to leave.
Wherever she went, someone followed her, so she simply sat in the room and didn't go anywhere, lest she be followed inseparably like a thief, and her heart was depressed and panicked.
Suddenly, there was a whistle outside, and then a bright red Maserati parked diagonally in a mesh parking slot next to the lawn, and someone immediately stepped forward to open the door and hold an umbrella for the occupants of the car.
Out of the driver's seat was a young girl with big wavy curly hair, a standard melon seed face, big eyes, a high nose, and a cherry mouth with aunt-colored lipstick, which contrasted with the white lace-trimmed skirt on her body and the white high heels on her feet.
Driving in high heels? It's amazing, too!
Tao Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of the pink and white Maserati that she had forgotten in her garage.
She really didn't have the talent to learn to drive, she went to apply for a driving school to learn to drive, and after practicing for half a month, she didn't even practice the library, and she collapsed when the coach collapsed, so she simply didn't go.
At the same time that Tao Yaoyao looked at the girl, the girl also happened to see Tao Yaoyao and asked the maid holding an umbrella beside her, "Who is she?" ”
"It was brought back by Bai Dong." The maid replied respectfully.
Bai Lingling turned her face and no longer looked at Tao Yaoyao, and raised her eyebrows: "Dad's vision is really getting worse and worse!" ”
"This time, it doesn't look like Bai Dong's woman." In the past, the woman that Bai Ning brought back was either plump or had a beautiful face, but this time this one was obviously a stunted student.
Bai Lingling curiously glanced at the opposite upstairs again, but at this time, Tao Yaoyao had already closed the curtains.
Suddenly, there were several car engine sounds in the direction of the Bai family's gate, Bai Lingling looked back, and saw two sports cars entering the Bai family's gate at the same time, one was her father Bai Ning's conspicuous red gold Rolls-Royce, and the other was a low-luxury Bugatti sports car with all white.
I have to say that the two cars drive together, just the license plate, Bugatti will throw off the Rolls-Royce a few streets, and then look at the model, Bai Ning's aesthetic standards really dare not compliment.
There are only a handful of people who can afford to drive a Bugatti in N City, Bai Lingling is a little curious, who is it, her father actually folded his face and walked with him.
When she saw the man who got out of the car wearing a mask on the upper half of his face, Bai Lingling didn't have to guess to know who it was. This entire N city, and Yu Wenmu, the president of Entertainment Media, likes to play tricks the most. Six years ago, Yule Media was suddenly established, and it developed rapidly, and the Qin family took the initiative to throw an olive branch every year.
No one has ever seen his true face, but no one can fake his identity, as long as you look at the lower half of his face and figure, you will never mistake him.
There are different theories about why he did not show his true face, but the most accepted theory is that he was a former officer in an international peacekeeping force who was discharged from the army to recuperate after being injured in the face while fighting terrorists abroad, during which time he founded Yule Media.
is worthy of being an officer, and the feeling of walking is different, Bai Lingling has seen countless rich second generations, either crooked melons and cracked dates, or sissies with good skin, or uninhibited and cynical, there is really no one who can see it.
And this Yu Wenmu ......
She felt like she couldn't get enough of it, and wanted to take off his mask to find out, and wanted to embrace the idea of whether his body was as strong as steel.
Seeing his daughter's looking at Yu Wenmu, Bai Ning "hummed" twice to remind.
Bai Lingling came back to her senses, but she didn't realize that she was now stepping on the junction of the lawn and the cobblestone sidewalk, her heels were deeply sunk into the dirt of the lawn, and as soon as her body tilted, the whole person fell into the grass.
At this time, Yu Wenmu was very close to her, and she instinctively stretched out a hand to Yu Wenmu for help.
However, Yu Wenmu originally planned to help, but when he saw Bai Lingling's face, his eyes tightened, and he paused in place and was indifferent.
So, Bai Lingling fell gorgeously in front of Yu Wenmu.
Xu is gardener had just sprinkled the lawn, Bai Lingling fell, the white skirt on her body was mottled and ragged with muddy water, her face and hair were also stained with mud, and the hanging earrings aroused the soil and grass roots on the grass, which was embarrassing.
Yu Wenmu didn't look at her, he walked directly past her and walked towards the building across the lawn.
Bai Lingling looked pitifully at Bai Ning, who was following Yu Wenmu, and pouted: "Dad......"
Bai Bai Ning stroked her forehead, feeling that such a thing happened in front of Yu Wenmu and was a little embarrassed, sighed, and hurriedly followed Yu Wenmu's footsteps regardless of Bai Lingling, only the maid who held the umbrella for her helped her while being scolded.
When there was a knock on the door of the room, Tao Yaoyao thought that the maid had brought her food again, her eyes were still staring at the TV, and she said perfunctorily: "The door is not locked, come in by yourself!" ”
Tao Yaoyao was also a little absent-minded watching TV, her eyes drifted around, maybe she was hungry, and she wanted to see what the maid had prepared.
I didn't see the food, and the maid didn't see it, but I saw Yu Wenmu, who was standing next to her and seemed to be staring at her for a while.
