Li Jin sighed and said: "Old Tang, many consequences are not caused by a single reason or person. You and I both have some problems. It is still too late to take advantage of this opportunity to adjust."
"Don't think too much, I know your abilities very well, and now that you have reached a platform where you can fully utilize your abilities, I believe you can do a good job."
Tang Jun, who was in his early forties, was still excited when he heard this sentence. He said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best."
Back at the hotel, Li Jin welcomed an unexpected but reasonable 'guest', Yan Bin.
It was still the same open-air bar. Yan Bin was sitting on the seat facing the river. He raised his glass to Li Jin who came over, smiled sinisterly and said, "Li Jin, you were just sitting here to threaten me last night, right?
"
Li Jin sat down opposite Yan Bin and said, "Threat? I don't understand. How can you call it a threat? It's just a statement of facts."
"But I admire Mr. Yan very much for finding me so quickly. After all, he has been operating in Shanghai for so many years and his foundation is still deep."
Yan Bin sneered and said: "Southeast Province, that is your territory. I suffered a big loss and have nothing to say, but when I arrived in Shanghai, you came to my door!"
Li Jin shrugged and said flatly: "Are you so confident that you can eat me?"
Yan Bin laughed and said: "You should have received the news, right? Let me tell you, this time it is not me who wants to deal with you, but most of the Huizhou merchants and chambers of commerce who want to target you two foxes, one old and one young!"
"Su Dongsheng is feeling the pressure now, right? Has he told you that in addition to facing competition from his peers, many customers have purchased expired and three-free products in his supermarket? Are they clamoring to complain?"
"And your investment company. Soon, you will receive news that someone has reported that your investment company is using investment as a cover, but it is actually tax evasion. It will be investigated immediately!"
Looking at the proud and arrogant Yan Bin in front of him, Li Jin said calmly: "The products supplied by Su's Supermarket have always abided by industry regulations and will never sell expired or non-existent items."
"As for my investment company, it's even simpler. Every penny I earn has been duly paid in taxes."
"You are not afraid of slanting shadows when you are upright. Do you think you can deal with me with this little trick of yours?"
Yan Bin sneered, his face smiling, but his eyes became more and more cold, "Are you really naive or fake? There are many things that you can't be irresponsible for if you haven't done them before."
"After repeated investigations, even if the supermarket is operating formally, your investment company has not evaded taxes, but what will others think?"
"It is very difficult to build reputation, but it only takes a few days to destroy it."
Yan Bin raised his head and took a sip of red wine, and said calmly: "I don't need to use these means to defeat you. I just want to let consumers know that Su's Supermarket has been investigated for selling expired products and three-no products."
"Let entrepreneurs seeking investment know that your company has been investigated for tax evasion by using investment funds."
"These two things are enough to destroy your business reputation."
As he said that, Yan Bin leaned over and stared at Li Jin, and said with a ferocious smile: "I am clearly setting him up, so what? What can you do to me?"
