Chapter 113 Cooperation with Camel
Of course, Camel has more than just Carter as his suspect. Lu Yongqiang is also Camel's number one suspect. Camel not only suspects that the killer in the hospital was sent by Lu Yongqiang, but also suspects that Lu Yongqiang provided the information to the police.
Luotuo even used his connections in the police to investigate the matter, but when Lu Yongqiang chose to call the police, he had already made preparations. It was not someone from Lu Yongqiang's side who called the police, but someone from Dongxing. To be more precise, this person was a trusted subordinate of Smiling Tiger.
Of course, Lu Yongqiang played a big role in this person calling the police to expose the Smiling Tiger.
When Lu Yongqiang learned from Feihong that Smiling Tiger was plotting against him, he arranged for people to investigate Smiling Tiger and several of his confidants.
At the beginning, Lu Yongqiang just wanted to find Smiling Tiger's warehouse so that he could trick Smiling Tiger at a critical moment. Unexpectedly, he didn't find the warehouse, but he got an unexpected surprise.
This smiling tiger actually had an affair with the wife of one of his trusted younger brothers. The smiling tiger often sent this younger brother to work abroad, and every time the younger brother left, the smiling tiger would secretly be with this woman.
What's even more interesting is that Lu Yongqiang had a paternity test done on Smiling Tiger and his younger brother's son, and the result showed that the child was Smiling Tiger's. Smiling Tiger was quite amazing. He slept with someone else's wife and asked others to raise his child. Even so, he actually wanted others to be grateful to him.
After making this discovery, Lu Yongqiang did not use it to deal with the Smiling Tiger immediately, but kept it in his hand as a trump card.
This time, Smiling Tiger attacked Lu Yongqiang's food company, which completely angered Lu Yongqiang. After discovering the warehouse at Carter's Food Company, Lu Yongqiang immediately made a vicious plan.
The matter was simple. Lu Yongqiang gave the younger brother one million yuan, and then showed him the paternity test of Smiling Tiger and his child, as well as photos of Smiling Tiger and his wife together. The man immediately agreed to report Smiling Tiger.
After Smiling Tiger returned to Hong Kong City, Lu Yongqiang asked this person to call the police. Later, in order to get rid of his suspicion, Lu Yongqiang secretly had someone take photos of this person when he was delivering evidence to the police.
After Smiling Tiger was caught, he wanted to smuggle into Vietnam, but before he could get on the boat, he was kidnapped by people arranged by Lu Yongqiang, and his final fate was to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
It's not that Lu Yongqiang is cruel, but this person's words are not credible. Although he promised Lu Yongqiang that he would not return to Hong Kong City in the future, these words are just for show and cannot be trusted. Also, since Lu Yongqiang doesn't want to be involved in reporting the Smiling Tiger, the best way is to kill him to silence him, because only the dead can keep secrets.
Dongxing was able to return to Hong Kong City because there was someone supporting it. Many signs showed that the person who supported Dongxing should be a big shot in an intelligence department on the foreign side. This person not only has a great influence in the police, but also has considerable influence in many government departments.
Luotuo used his connections, and with Lu Yongqiang's intentional leak of information, in just a few hours, Luotuo dug out the informant and found a photo of him meeting with the police.
Afterwards, Luotuo conducted an in-depth investigation and immediately found out that Smiling Tiger had slept with his younger brother's wife. This completely eliminated most of Lu Yongqiang's suspicions.
Since Lu Yongqiang is not a big suspect in reporting this matter, he is also not a big suspect in Smiling Tiger's death.
Since Lu Yongqiang is not a big suspect, Luotuo will naturally not cause trouble for Lu Yongqiang. After all, Dongxing has dealt with Lu Yongqiang several times and has never been able to take advantage of him. He knows that this man is not easy to deal with, so he naturally will not provoke Lu Yongqiang for a little suspicion.
But as one of the Five Tigers of East Star, Smiling Tiger died in such an unclear manner. Someone must be held responsible for this. After careful consideration, Carter became the most suitable person to be held responsible.
Firstly, Carter's background is not strong and he is easy to manipulate. Secondly, Carter's family has some assets. If they touch Carter, they can avenge the Smiling Tiger and gain some benefits.
Of course, Dongxing's move against Carter does not mean that Dongxing is going to kill Carter, the foreigner, but to cause some trouble for Carter, the foreigner.
Considering the current situation in Hong Kong, Carter, as a foreigner, is definitely a member of the privileged class. If something really happens to him, the police will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. Dongxing's industry is not clean to begin with, and if it really offends the police, it will definitely have to pay a heavy price.
Of course, if it can be done without anyone noticing, it is not impossible to kill a foreigner like Carter.
So, as soon as Carter returned to Hong Kong City, someone from East Star came to visit. They didn't immediately call for a fight, but instead asked Carter to sign a transfer contract. East Star wanted Carter's shares in the food factory, but the price wasn't too high; East Star was only prepared to give five million.
Carter had approached Lu Yongqiang about this very matter. Dongxing's price was too low, so he naturally didn't want to sell. But if he didn't sell to Dongxing, Dongxing's attitude was clear, and they wouldn't give up. So, this grandson thought of Lu Yongqiang and planned to sell his shares in the food factory to him. He kept a sad face, just to gain sympathy from Lu Yongqiang.
Lu Yongqiang picked up his glass, took a sip of red wine, and said, "I might consider taking over your shares in the food factory, but the factory has been sealed off by the police, and Dongxing still owns 20% of the shares. It's not a good time for me to take over now."
As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Carter spoke up, "Mr. Lu, I can handle the police seizure. I can get them to lift the blockade in three days at most. As for the 20% stake in Dongxing, I think that shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Lu. You should have plenty of ways to get those shares."
After Carter finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang lowered his head to think about it. After a while, he said, "Mr. Carter, I can take over the food factory. I won't lower the price to you. But I have to wait until the food factory is unsealed before I can take it over. That should be fine, right?"
Eighteen million. Although this price is higher than the offer Lu Yongqiang originally gave to Carter, it is not a loss for Lu Yongqiang. The land of the factory alone is almost worth this price.
After reaching an agreement with Carter, Lu Yongqiang waited for Carter to take action. Carter was quite capable, and the food factory was unsealed the next day. Lu Yongqiang was also straightforward and signed the contract with Carter directly.
After getting the shares, Lu Yongqiang did not resume production immediately, but instead made an appointment with Luotuo for tea.
In a teahouse in Yuen Long, Luotuo looked at Lu Yongqiang who was smiling in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Camel said sternly, "Boy, you're so brave! Given the current relationship between us Dongxing and your Hongxing, you dare to come to Yuen Long to see me? Aren't you afraid that I will make you unable to leave Yuen Long?"
Lu Yongqiang was not frightened by the camel. His expression did not change, and he was still smiling. He first picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, Dongxing and I did have a few conflicts, but they were all for the sake of making a living. Given your mentality, you can't really bother with me.
Mr. Luo, the reason I came to Yuen Long to see you today is because I sincerely have business to discuss with you.
Seeing that he couldn't scare Lu Yongqiang, Luotuo put away his ferocious expression and said, "Business? What business can I have with you?"
Lu Yongqiang took out the share transfer contract he had signed with Carter and said, "I now hold 80% of the shares of Chaochi Food Company, and Dongxing holds 20%. This is the business I want to discuss next."
This Smiling Tiger and Carter had impure motives from the beginning when they opened a food company. Lu Yongqiang's food company was called Ju Haochi Food Company, and their food company was called Chao Haochi Food Company. There was only one word difference in the names, and the packaging and other things were not much different from Lu Yongqiang's company. They were definitely copycats.
Luotuo picked up the share transfer agreement, took a look at it, and asked unkindly, "Are you planning to buy out my 20% stake? If that's your intention, I advise you to give up. I won't transfer the shares to you."
Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Mr. Luo, why should I buy out your shares? No one can make all this money alone. We can all work together for a win-win situation!"
As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Luotuo became interested and asked, "Are you really planning to start a food company with me?"
Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "The food company was originally an instant noodle factory. I visited the company and all the equipment for producing instant noodles is still there. What I mean is that we can open an instant noodle company together."
"Instant noodle company? Why not a snack company? Your food company's snacks are easily sold. Let's cooperate. I can help you open up sales channels in my Dongxing territory. Wouldn't that be more profitable?"
Luo Tuo's tone was a little dissatisfied. He thought Lu Yongqiang wanted to cooperate with him to open a snack company, but he didn't expect that it would be an instant noodle company in the end?
Lu Yongqiang said, "Mr. Luo, my original food company already has excess production capacity. There's no need to open another branch. Besides, I'm in partnership with Brother D of He Liansheng, and the recipes for the various snacks are also the company's assets. Even if we open another food company, the recipes can't be used."
At this point, Lu Yongqiang paused and continued, "Mr. Luo, the instant noodle factory I want to cooperate with you on isn't a traditional instant noodle factory, but one that focuses on snacks for children. Of course, if it's well made, adults should like it too."
I think I have some talent in business, so I shouldn't lose money on this business."
Lu Yongqiang wanted to make instant noodles that would be popular all over the country, and this product should do well. He also had his own reasons for wanting to cooperate with Camel.
Lu Yongqiang's food factory does have excess production capacity now. According to feedback from Lu Yongheng, the food company's sales have basically not increased much in the past two months, but have decreased. The reason for this situation is that there are too many people following the trend, and many people dislike Lu Yongqiang and are deliberately making trouble to prevent the food factory's products from being sold in their territory.
