Chapter 1518: Yang Ming is Speechless/ News of Annexation
Feng Sibiao was extremely excited that his legs were fine and he didn’t dare to delay any further. He immediately said, “Brother, give me your card number. I will make a call to transfer the money now!”
Feng Sibiao was clear that he couldn’t go back on his words. Since Yang Ming could heal his disability in an instant, he also had the ability to handicap him again instantly. Feng Sibiao was also the kind of person who would not provoke others once he was convinced. This was why he was safe and sound even after competing in underground boxing for so many years. Otherwise, if he wanted to take revenge on others after losing, he would have probably died a long time ago!
How could a gap in strength be so easily surpassed? Especially after reaching a certain level, it was even more difficult to improve. Feng Sibiao, a top boxer, was very aware of this. Sometimes, a little gap in strength would be fatal.
So, Feng Sibiao never went out and provoked someone stronger than him. He couldn’t even wait to run if he found someone stronger than him. Why would he still provoke them? Wasn’t that looking for death? It was even worse if he encountered someone like Yang Ming. He couldn’t run away even if he wanted to. Fortunately, it was possible to exchange money to avoid disasters. It seemed that Yang Ming had no intention to ruthlessly kill him. This was the best result.
“Give him the account number,” Yang Ming said, glancing at Jing Xiaolu.
“Oh… Ok!” Jing Xiaolu didn’t expect Feng Sibiao to be so forthright. So she gave him the card number of a previously empty card.
Feng Sibiao didn’t say anything after receiving it, but directly phoned the bank to transfer the money. It didn’t take long for Jing Xiaolu’s mobile phone to receive the text message notifying that an extra one million had been added to her account.
“What about you?” After Feng Sibiao transferred the money, Yang Ming looked at the shop owner.
The shop owner didn’t dare to neglect, and quickly followed Feng Sibiao’s actions. He called and made a transfer. Soon, a sum of five hundred-thousand yuan was transferred into Jing Xiaolu’s account.
“Okay, you may go.” After Yang Ming received the money, he was naturally unwilling to talk to them.
“Go? We’re going now!” The shop owner was relieved but very regretful. Why did I think of getting revenge? This is great now. I did not even get my revenge; I lost five hundred-thousand instead.
The shop owner did not dare to linger any longer. This man is too ruthless. Even the boxing champion who I thought was amazing is not his opponent. Who else can I depend on?
The shop owner, Zhang Dapao, and Yao Sanpao had all turned around and were ready to leave, but Feng Sibiao stood still with some hesitation.
“Why don’t you go?” Yang Ming glanced at Feng Sibiao and asked. He thought, Does this guy want to say a few more words?
“Brother… Can you tell me your name?” Feng Sibiao asked hesitantly.
“Oh?” Yang Ming said slightly, “Why? Do you want to remember my name so you can come back to seek revenge after practicing for a few years?”
“No, brother, you misunderstood…” Feng Sibiao shook his head continuously, “I don’t have that intention. I was thinking, when someone says your name in the future when I’m out and about, I’ll hurry and run!”
“Ha?!” Yang Ming heard Feng Sibiao’s words and suddenly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “You… well, my name is Yang Ming.”
“Brother Yang, I’ll remember it. Rest assured, if someone calls your name in the future, I will definitely run away!” Feng Sibiao said solemnly and resolutely.
“En, I got it. You may go,” Yang Ming waved helplessly.
“Brother Yang, then I’ll go now!” Feng Sibiao then turned away.
Sui Yuemin, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to be so strong. As long as someone reported his name, Feng Sibiao would run away! Sui Yuemin felt that it was not a bad thing to mingle with Yang Ming. At least I can do as I please at West Star Mountain in the future!
Regardless of whether it’s Yao Sanpao or Zhang Dapao, they dare not offend me!
“Brother Yang, for your car… Should I find a repair shop to tow it away?” After Sui Yuemin waited for those people to leave, he rubbed his hands and asked Yang Ming.
“En, go do it. Fix it as soon as possible,” Yang Ming nodded, He was very satisfied with Sui Yuemin’s performance.
“Yes, I’ll just make a call. The owner of the nearby Dahua Repair Factory is my buddy. I’ll ask him to repair it for Brother Yang overnight! I’ll try to make it available for tomorrow,” said Sui Yuemin.
“Don’t worry too much about it. We came with other cars,” said Yang Ming.
“It’s fine, it’s fine!” Sui Yuemin said confidently as he was willing to take charge of this matter. Just as he was about to make a phone call, he suddenly saw Zhang Penbai and his underling, Qiangzi, lying on the ground. He quickly asked, “Brother Yang, do you need me to call an ambulance to take both of them to the hospital first?”
“No need!” Yang Ming waved his hand and walked towards the two. He squatted down, and patted both of them twice. Then, they woke up warily.
“Screw you, you dare to hit me. I will kill you!” Zhang Penbai started sputtering a slew of curses as soon as he woke up.
“Who will you kill?” Yang Ming glanced at him coldly.
“Ah! Brother Yang!” Zhang Penbai suddenly sobered up and was taken aback. He was suddenly a little embarrassed. “Brother Yang, did I faint?”
“Nonsense,” Yang Ming said angrily. “You still want to kill them. They are much more capable than you. Who can you kill?”
“This…” Zhang Penbai was a little embarrassed, “I was just simply saying…”
“Okay, I won’t blame you for this. The other party is better than you, so there is no way to deal with it. You can go back!” Yang Ming said nothing else and stood up.
“Yes, Brother Yang, then… is this matter over?” Zhang Penbai was a little depressed as he had suffered such a big loss. He was still thinking about getting his face back!
“Brother Yang solved it for you just now!” Sui Yuemin quickly explained to Zhang Penbai, “After that guy, Feng Sibiao, saw Brother Yang, he ran away. Even I became ashamed after seeing how fast he ran!”
“Ah? Brother Yang is so awesome!” Zhang Penbai was surprised when he heard Sui Yuemin’s words. He didn’t think Sui Yuemin would lie to him, but he was a little surprised.
“Exactly! Feng Sibiao even said that as long as someone reports Brother Yang’s name, he would definitely turn around and run!” Sui Yuemin said proudly, as if he was Brother Yang himself.
“Wow, that’s great!” Zhang Penbai shook again when he heard what a softie Feng Sibiao was. “It’s good to follow Brother Yang. You can’t lose! This time, Feng Sibiao should know who is horrifying, right?”
Zhang Penbai acted as if he was not the one who fainted just now, as if Yang Ming could represent him.
Yang Ming listened to the conversation between the two and shook his head helplessly. However, Jing Xiaolu was the proudest. The others boasting about Yang Ming was equivalent to boasting about her, so she felt overjoyed.
Sui Yuemin and Zhang Penbai were busy contacting the repair shop to repair the car while Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu went upstairs and returned to their room. They didn’t bother with Sui Yuemin and Zhang Penbai.
“Ha, isn’t this an easy way to get money? We got one-and-a-half million in the blink of an eye. How many things can I buy!” Jing Xiaolu held the bank card and was constantly looking at it. She couldn’t get enough of it. It was as if her eyes were a card reader that could read the amount on the bank card.
“Do you still lack this one million now?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu’s excitement and was a little bit puzzled. Even if you’re greedy for money, it shouldn’t be to this level, right?
“It doesn’t feel the same!” said Jing Xiaolu. ” I got this one-and-a-half million for no reason at all. Of course I am happy!”
“Didn’t you get the company’s shares for free?” Yang Ming asked in return.
“How can that count? The shares are yours, and what’s yours is now mine. It belongs to us. How can that be for free?” said Jing Xiaolu. “This one-and-a-half million is for free. It was given by those foolish people!”
“I would rather have those foolish people bother me less. I had to deal with this problem the entire night. I wanted to come out and have fun tonight, but I encountered so many troubles!” Yang Ming said as he lay in bed.
“I think it’s very exciting!” Jing Xiaolu did not agree, “This feeling of acting bossy is so cool…”
“…” Yang Ming was speechless.
Chapter 1812: News of Annexation
Sui Yuemin had to be complimented for having such a wide network in West Star Mountain. The next morning, the car was parked below the villa as good as new. Even Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu didn’t dare to believe it. The vandalism on the car last night seemed to be only a dream.
However, the car was indeed repaired. It was unknown how Sui Yuemin did it.
Yang Ming took the car key from Sui Yuemin and nodded to him acknowledging everything he did. It was time for Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu to return.
Yang Ming did not know how to make arrangements for Jing Xiaolu, but fortunately, he didn’t need to think about this problem for the time being. Everything could be postponed until he returned from Yunnan safely. If he couldn’t come back, it was meaningless to consider these things.
After returning to Song Jiang, Yang Ming’s life was close to being peaceful. However, Jing Xiaolu was added into his life, and they were closer than before.
Chen Zhiye and Caique’s Douglas Vast Hotel was officially opened. Every day there were some kind of tricks and promotions, which was a fatal blow to the Song Jiang International Hotel’s business.
The Song Jiang International Hotel’s CEO, Guo Jianchao, mentioned this issue to Bao Sanli more than once to see if he could take any measures to stop this situation from worsening!
After all, the Song Jiang International Hotel was now losing money every day. Customers were coming and going every day at the Douglas International Vast Hotel, but the Song Jiang International Hotel was completely deserted. Guo Jianchao was worried!
However, every time he reported the hotel’s situation to Bao Sanli, Bao Sanli always said that it was nothing and nothing needed to be done. If Guo Jianchao didn’t know that Bao Sanli was Yang Ming’s die-hard brother, he would even suspect that Bao Sanli was the other hotel’s spy.
After pleading with Bao Sanlu several times to no avail, Guo Jianchao couldn’t help but call Yang Ming in person. He planned to communicate with Yang Ming about this matter.
Yang Ming was a bit surprised when he saw Guo Jianchao’s incoming call on his cell phone. Guo Jianchao usually contacted Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan for all matters, and generally would not call him directly.
“Hello, Guo Jianchao?” Yang Ming answered the phone.
“It’s me, Brother Yang!” Guo Jianchao said quickly, “I want to discuss something with you. Are you free?”
“Oh, let’s talk. I have nothing to do now.” Although Yang Ming wasn’t sure why Guo Jianchao called him directly to discuss something, he gladly agreed.
Yang Ming had always been kind but firm to his subordinates. When he was supposed to be stern, he would be stern; when he was supposed to be kind, he would be kind.
“Brother Yang, this is the case. Do you know about the matter with the Douglas Vast Hotel?” Guo Jianchao asked first.
“Oh
, I know some of it. What’s wrong?” Yang Ming had guessed the purpose of Guo Jianchao’s call. It probably had something to do with the hotel’s operation.“Brother Yang, the Douglas Vast Hotel has basically snatched all our customers! They are doing promotions every day to pressure us. Our current business is basically losing money with no one caring,” said Guo Jianchao.
“Well, business competition is inevitable, and there is nothing extraordinary about their actions. How can we do anything for them?” Yang Ming said, laughing. During this time, Yang Ming did not want to participate in these disputes. Otherwise, this Douglas Vast Hotel couldn’t be smug for long.
“But they are targeting us!” Guo Jianchao was a bit indignant as he said, “All their promotion decisions are aimed at us!”
“Didn’t I just say? There is nothing we can do about business competition,” Yang Ming said, “I guess you talked to Bao Sanli first about this, but he didn’t say anything. So, you came to me. Am I right?”
“This… yes!” Guo Jianchao admitted, “It is true. I told President Bao, but he didn’t say anything. He just wants me to ignore them. I don’t think we can go on like this, so I personally give you a call… will you blame me?”
“How can I blame you?” Yang Ming laughed, “You are just thinking for the company, which is correct. However, Bao Sanli’s words were actually conveying my intentions, so just leave them alone and let them be. Anyway, the Song Jiang International Hotel is not our main business.”
“But we can’t just let them be, right? Shouldn’t we take action?” Guo Jianchao still didn’t give up.
“They are expecting us to take action. There will still be some tricks waiting for us. As far as I know, this Douglas Vast Hotel is an international hotel chain. They have a lot of marketing talents who specialize in research in this area. We don’t have to fight with professional organizations like them,” said Yang Ming. “Let them make trouble. It will calm down after a while.”
“Oh… Alright.” Guo Jianchao felt that it couldn’t be helped. Since Yang Ming had said so, he could only bide his time.
“Hehe, if there is any situation, please call me at any time. Don’t be too conflicted!” Yang Ming chuckled and comforted Guo Jianchao.
“I got it, Brother Yang.” Although Guo Jianchao was not convinced, since it was Yang Ming’s decision, he could only implement it resolutely.
So, under the aggressiveness of the Douglas Vast Hotel, the Song Jiang International Hotel suffered defeat. Yet, they took no action which meant different things in the eyes of people who had ulterior motives!
Song Jiang’s entertainment industry might experience a big change! The era of Bao Sanli is about to pass! Everyone was discussing that even though Bao Sanli was very powerful, he only had local networks. Meanwhile, the Douglas Family had deeper relationships that were incomparable to those local rich families.
As a result, more people became friends with Chen Zhiye and Caique.
Caique also did not expect that Bao Sanli would not counterattack. Even after Caique snatched away all his clients, he still said nothing. It caused Caique to feel that Bao Sanli was too weak.
“Boss, that kid finally tasted defeat this time!” Chen Zhiye watched Yang Ming’s business gradually withering. It was his ultimate goal and it had basically been achieved now.
“I know the hotel industry very well. If he doesn’t have guests now, he will lose money and won’t be able to support it for long,” Caique laughed and said. “It probably won’t be long before they go out of business.”
“Boss, what do you think about acquiring his hotel?” Chen Zhiye’s eyes lit up and he thought of a bad idea. “Now, he is losing money every day. We can use a very low price to buy his hotel, and then turn it into our branch hotel?”
“It’s okay, but is there a need for this? After all, our hotel is already very large and we have no need for a branch hotel,” Caique said hesitantly.
“Of course! This is necessary so that you can establish your position as the leader of Song Jiang’s hotel industry!” Chen Zhiye said, “Think about it. The Song Jiang International Hotel was number one in Song Jiang’s hotel industry, but it’s a latecomer like you who have the upper hand. But if you don’t annex the previous number one, there will always be a thorn in your side. How unpleasant would that be!”
“That is true,” Caique was enthusiastic when he heard Chen Zhiye’s explanation. The Douglas Family often annexed competitors in the same industry. This would make the family hotel more famous.
“Then, let’s talk to someone at the Song Jiang International Hotel?” asked Chen Zhiye.
“It’s not the best timing yet. We have to make the offer when they lose everything to get a price advantage!” Caique said, “And I want to use this annexation to give the Douglas Vast Hotel a boost and build the hotel’s fame in the north!”
“Okay!” Although Chen Zhiye wanted to do it as fast as possible, he still had to listen to Caique’s arrangements.
There were only a few guests at the Song Jiang International Hotel, and everyone thought that it was on the verge of bankruptcy. At this time, the Douglas Vast Hotel revealed to the media that they would be acquiring the Song Jiang International Hotel!
For a while, this shocking news was everywhere in newspapers, magazines, and on the Internet! The Douglas Vast Hotel was going to annex the former industry leader, the Song Jiang International Hotel!
Many people who knew the background of the Song Jiang International Hotel lamented the strength of the Douglas Family. Song Jiang’s entertainment industry might really change owners and be occupied by the Douglas Family in one fell swoop.
This news was released by the Douglas Vast Hotel unilaterally. They had not contacted the Song Jiang International Hotel in advance and had not reached any consensus. However, what they wanted was this effect!
