"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, got 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 going on 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 look for you."
"It was hard to find Mr. Ji, so I couldn't wait to invite Mr. Ji over for a chat in the evening."
Fang Zhuo looked at Ji Longfen's astonished face and suddenly felt rude: "Hurry and pour a cup of tea for Mr. Ji. Xiao Li, go get a wet wipe 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 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 pay 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's mood, which had just calmed down, was suddenly startled again.
He knew Fang Zhuo, but he knew Fang Zhuo too well.
He even 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? Isn't he a business leader in related domestic industries? How could he be in such a posture today?
He felt confused and suspicious for a while, thinking of Changhong for a while, and then thinking 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 became energetic and cried out: "Mr. Fang, our company is Changhong's overseas channel. Where is the fraud? If there is a dispute, it depends on how the law decides it."
Knowing that the person in front of him was the chairman of a listed company, he felt that tonight's matter could be easily solved.
Fang Zhuo frowned slightly. The difficulty lies in this. The difficulty lies in the fact 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 didn't expect that tonight's approach would be so rough. He sucked in the air-conditioning and said, "Mr. Fang, you really misunderstood. There may be some misunderstandings between me and Mr. Ni."
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 such a scene." Fang Zhuo babbled, indicating that there was a large courtyard outside.
Ji Longfen was dragged out.
Over 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 not something that should be endured.
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."
On the 17th, I went to Wal-Mart for shopping. On the 17th, I found a female companion to go back to the apartment with me. On the 18th, I went to gamble a lot. Is this Mr. Ji?"
When Ji Longfen listened to this record, he was so stunned that he couldn't speak. This was clearer than he could remember.
A sudden connection occurred in his mind. What Mr. Fang said before, "He asked me to find you" was not true... Otherwise, Mr. Ni would not have been 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 asked gently: "Why does APEX default on payment?"
Do I need a reason for defaulting on payment?
Of course it's for money.
However, if it were just this answer, I wouldn't bother asking this question tonight.
Mr. Fang and Mr. Ni are not friends, but enemies, right?
Ji Longfen weighed it for three seconds and negotiated the terms simply: "Mr. Fang, I have a recording, what can I get?"
"Oh, 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.
People from the Chamber of Commerce went to Ji Longfen's apartment to look for the recording.
However, Fang Zhuo did not have high hopes for the results 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 finally couldn't bear the physical pain and confided that the recording was saved online.
Fang Zhuo was very satisfied with this cooperative attitude. He did not want to hear the recording immediately. Instead, he smiled and said: "Mr. Ji, it is not a long-term solution for your APEX company to continue like this. Changhong's lawsuit will definitely win, sooner or later.
At that time, what can you and your company lose?"
Ji Longfen had already accepted his fate today. It was only after he was dragged out this time that he found out that this was the Anliang Chamber of Commerce. Living in Chinatown for the past half month, he had also heard about the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce: "Mr. Fang, what do you want?"
"It's not about asking for anything, but that we can have good cooperation." Fang Zhuo said, "A company will sign an agreement with APEX to package and transfer the sales of Changhong products in Walmart in the United States. The transfer fee will be within a reasonable range.
.”
APEX Company has no goodwill. Fang Zhuo is not interested in this company. He only plans to spin off Changhong's overseas sales business. The purpose is not to make profits, but to normalize the channel circulation of Changhong → middleman → Wal-Mart.
Changhong will not believe in APEX, but will carefully consider a rich man riding a white horse. At the same time, Yike itself also has very convincing overseas results.
When such a bargaining chip is on Ni Runfeng's side, it helps him solve the overseas problems that have been criticized. The existence of the recording ensures a certain degree of hard and soft measures. It may not be used, but it is necessary to exist.
The chip in the TV is not its most important part. I believe Changhong will work together to find a certain say based on friendly cooperation with each other.
Ji Longfen was silent and measured.
Before he could weigh anything, two loan agreements from the Anliang Chamber of Commerce were photographed in front of him.
Ji Longfen doesn't want to borrow money.
Ji Longfen signed and borrowed the money.
The rest of the matter became boring, at least, that's how Fang Zhuo felt, so he and Mr. Ji broke up, not wanting to affect Anliang Chamber of Commerce's announcement of the contents of the loan to the subject of the contract.
In the next few days, the packaging contracts signed by APEX and third-party companies will also have their own dedicated personnel to handle them.
It wasn't until early in the morning that Ji Longfen walked out of the courtyard house of Onliang Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown.
He returned to the apartment in disgrace and stayed awake until 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 frustrating to be manipulated like this. Especially when I thought of the smile of the CEO of the listed company last night, it felt like a fire was burning in my heart.
Ji Longfen decided to anonymously break the news to the Wall Street Journal, exposing that the Chinese man was not as glamorous as the media made him out to be, and that he had shady activities behind his back!
The call got through without much effort, and the reporter also thanked the anonymous person for the revelation during the call.
Immediately, the reporter contacted the Goldman Sachs Group, which had a cooperative relationship with him. Goldman Sachs had previously commissioned the media to help build the image of President Yike, and the Wall Street Journal was an important part of it.
The person in charge of the public relations department of Goldman Sachs Group burst out with the anger of the capitalists upon receiving the notice. Yike stock has not been able to get the last wave of leeks due to an accidental market crash. Is there anyone else who will break the news?
Do you want to trap yourself deeper?
That night, Ji Longfen, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, took two melatonin pills and lay in bed to rest. His whole body ached.
In the early hours of the morning, he was dragged up by a familiar figure.
"You're the one calling the newspaper?"
"Didn't I explain it to you last night?"
"Come on, come on!"
Ji Longfen was again inexplicably dragged to the Anliang Chamber of Commerce, this time without even seeing Mr. Fang's face.
More sad and angry than yesterday! More inexplicable than yesterday!
It's 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!
