Chapter 161 - Cooperation with Duan Peng
"Old Duan, what do you mean by this?" Ji Feng couldn"t help but to ask, "Although Qiao Jiakai has appeared in New York City, but it seems that he has never appeared in China before. "In addition, Qiao Rong isn"t in China and the Qiao family only has an empty sh.e.l.l. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Speaking of which, the problem is that the Qiao Family isn"t a separate family. Those who have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Qiao Family in the past will definitely think of ways to deal with me." Duan Peng slightly shook his head and said, "But the most important thing is, Qiao Jiakai and the others might come to China someday. At that time, I won"t be able to stay in China, and I won"t be able to stay in New York City either!"
"Can"t the rest of America stay?" Ji Feng frowned as he asked."There"s nothing I can do about it. My business and company are in New York City, and to be honest, I"m not young anymore. I"m almost 30 years old, and I haven"t even made any achievements yet. I won"t have any future in this life …"
Duan Peng lightly shook his head and sighed. "I"m unfamiliar with the places I live outside. It"s not easy to create a new road, and I don"t want to go to those unfamiliar places to open a market. "Since he"s already found me, no matter where I go, he"ll be able to find me. There"s no way to hide from him …"
Ji Feng couldn"t help but silently nod his head, he understood Duan Peng"s feelings very well. When a person reaches a certain age and is unfamiliar with the outside world, if they want to go to other cities to develop, then they have to start over. It was not easy at all.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Duan Peng to continue to develop in the United States, especially when he knew that Duan Peng was in the United States. With the grudges between the Qiao Family and Duan Peng, coupled with Qiao Jiakai"s domineering character, he would definitely cause trouble for Duan Peng.The trouble that Duan Peng was facing in the United States was the best example!
And when he returned home, the Qiao family would look for trouble with him, which put him in a dilemma. He couldn"t come back, nor could he stay abroad.
Of course, if Duan Peng returned, perhaps with his relations.h.i.+p with Ji Shalei, he might be able to take care of him a little. But just like he said, the Qiao family wasn"t alone. Although the Qiao family had declined, their network was still there. Although some people didn"t seem to be that important, once they caused trouble for you, that would be quite a headache for them.In the business world, it was all because of camaraderie. What they were most afraid of was someone causing trouble for them. Furthermore, it was the officials who were causing trouble for them.
Forget about everything else, just by finding a random excuse to go to your company for a little investigation every three days and then a big inspection every five days, it would be more than enough to make you suffer like a ghost, worse than death, it would be weird if your company could continue to operate!
But if Ji Shaolei were to protect him, how could he possibly protect him so well?
For example, before the strength of the Ji Clan had even entered Jiang and Zhe Province, if Duan Peng was found out by someone in Jiang and Zhe Province, Ji Shaolei would not be able to do anything and could only stare helplessly at him.
Right now, it"s not a one-sided situation. Everyone has their own different forces, yet there"s someone who doesn"t want to buy Ji Shaolei"s money. What can you do about it?
This was a very helpless reality and was also the matter that Duan Peng was the most worried about. Similarly, Ji Feng could understand Duan Peng"s worry. After all, Ji Shaoru had a lot of things to do and couldn"t help Duan Peng deal with them at any time!
As for the foreign powers, no matter how powerful the Ji Clan was, it would be difficult for them to protect a person"s safety over there. After all, it was different from home...
Thus, the difficulties Duan Peng was facing now were truly somewhat troublesome.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ji Feng asked. Now that there was no way to stay at home or abroad, where else could Duan Peng go?Duan Peng said, "I plan to return!"
Ji Feng was slightly startled. "Again? You mean to come back to China? "He was slightly curious. Earlier, Duan Peng said that it was impossible to stay at home or abroad, so why did he come back now? Wasn"t he afraid that the Qiao family would find trouble with him again?
Duan Peng turned to look at Ji Shalei. Clearly, he wanted Ji Shalei to help him explain.
"It"s like this. San-er, Old Duan means that he wants to come back and find someone who isn"t afraid of the Qiao family. We must work together so he won"t have any big problems in the country." Ji Shaolei smiled, "I"ve considered it. There are too many people who are not afraid of the Qiao Family. However, there aren"t many who are willing to offend them."Ji Feng nodded in agreement. Being afraid didn"t mean that they had to stir up trouble. If they were to stir up trouble all day, how could they continue their business?
As the saying goes, peace makes wealth!
In this unique environment, there was probably no merchant that would take the initiative to offend the Qiao family. After all, although the Qiao family had declined, there were still people in the government and their connections were still there. This was a potential threat!
"Have you found a partner yet?" Ji Feng asked.
Duan Peng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How could it be that easy? I abandoned some of my previous businesses when I left the country. It"s really too difficult to pick them up again now."
"Second brother, please speak clearly. Why have you called me here today?" Ji Feng looked at Ji Shalei. In reality, he had already guessed the reason why Ji Shalei and Duan Peng called him over. However, even though he was well aware of some things, he didn"t want to say them out loud.
"San-er, you brat, don"t play tricks on me. Don"t tell me you really don"t know why I called you here?" Ji Shaoru laughed, "How about it? Old Duan is good at doing business too. Don"t you want to consider working with him?"So it was like that!
Ji Feng"s eyebrows twitched as he thought to himself. He then smiled and said, "That … Of course we can cooperate. However, I just don"t know which industry Old Duan is in."
"I am currently engaged in international trade. Of course, I also invest occasionally, but if I decide to come back, I will end all foreign business and bring back the funds. What I need to do in the future will depend on Young Master Ji"s arrangements." Duan Peng said with a smile.Ji Feng couldn"t help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This Duan Peng really knew how to take advantage of others. Second Brother had just asked him to cooperate with him, and he had already asked him to make arrangements. What could he do about him?
Ji Feng glanced at his second brother, Ji Shalei, only to see that his brother was giving him a look. Ji Feng was not sure what his second brother meant, so he could only pretend that he did not see anything.
"Young Master Ji, I heard from Shao Lei that your friend has formed a large group. I wonder what kind of work I can do next. It doesn"t matter whether the business is good or bad …" Noticing that Ji Feng had gone silent, Duan Peng couldn"t help but hesitate."I don"t think so. Let"s do it this way …" Ji Shaolei suddenly said, "San-er, can you consider whether there are any good projects for you to invest in? You two can do it together. We can look out for each other like this. What do you think?"
"Do it together?" Ji Feng couldn"t help but be slightly startled, then he understood what his second brother meant. His second brother wanted Duan Peng to serve him!
It looked like Second Brother was still looking at Duan Peng.
Ji Feng was a bit hesitant. Since both parties had invested in the project together, there was nothing bad about it. This way, Ji Feng could also be less worried. But the question now was, did Duan Peng really have that kind of strength?Since second brother Ji Shaolei had introduced Duan Peng to him, then even if Ji Feng only gave face to second brother, he still couldn"t give Duan Peng such a terrible project. In fact, letting him manage a company couldn"t be better. However, handing over a company wasn"t necessarily a good thing.
More importantly, did Duan Peng really have that kind of talent to be able to control a company that didn"t even know of any projects up till now?
This matter was related to the future development of Soaring Cloud Corporation, so Ji Feng had to be careful.
San"er, actually working with Old Duan, you guys can be considered to be a win-win situation. Old Duan"s ability is not bad, but now that you"re in trouble, you can"t not help but help. Ji Shalei smiled."Otherwise..." After pondering for a while, Ji Feng finally nodded his head and said: "Old Duan, you used to do international trade, but now you"re still doing your old business and doing international trade. Strictly speaking, you"re doing foreign trade, what do you think?"
"Foreign trade?" Duan Peng was stunned. "I wonder which trade line Young Master Ji is talking about?"
"Medicine, or more accurately speaking, health care products, which is to say, skinnier drugs..." Ji Feng said, "Have you heard of Kang Yuan"s Slimming Powder?"
"Oh?"
Duan Peng was instantly delighted. "It"s Kang Yuan"s Slimming Powder"s foreign trade business?"
"Is there a problem?" Ji Feng asked with a smile, "Don"t look down on this small thin powder. I believe that its market abroad should be good as well..."
"No, no, no!" Duan Peng shook his head and quickly said, "Young Master Ji, you misunderstood. I did not underestimate Kang Yuan. "Frankly speaking, although I"m overseas, my connection with the country is still very close. Kang Yuan"s reputation as a skinnier fan is like thunder in my ears."
Ji Feng smiled. "Then, what do you think about the future of Kang Yuan"s Slimming Powder?"
"It will definitely be very popular!" Duan Peng blurted out.
"Oh?" Ji Feng instantly laughed, "Are you that sure? What is the basis for this? "
"If you have been abroad, you will understand why I am so sure!"
Duan Peng said with a smile, "The vast majority of the world"s obese people are abroad, especially in those developed countries where there are even more obese people. "For example, in the United States, who knows how many people have to go to the hospital to be treated for obesity every year. Even when they can"t lose weight, they can only cut off their stomachs and cut off a portion of their stomachs, using this method to reduce their appet.i.te!"
"If there is an effective diet pill that does not cause any harm to the body, it will definitely be extremely popular!" Duan Peng said excitedly, "Obese people want to recover their health. Women love to be beautiful, and men like to be robust. These are all potential customers of Kang Yuan"s Slimming Powder!"
