Chapter 649 - 649: Countermeasures
“What did you say? Luo Feng started a logistics company?”
Inside the mansion of the Mike family, Mike was taken aback by the news he heard while inspecting his grounds. Flames of anger instantly ignited in his eyes.
“This Luo Feng dares to open a company in Atlanta? Does he intend to establish a long-term presence here?”
After pondering for a moment, the rage on Mike’s face swiftly transformed into excitement.
“Well, if he wishes to start a business in Atlanta, how can I not give him a taste of my power?”
A chilling smile crept across Mike’s face.
“Find out what kind of business his logistics company intends to pursue. We’ll invest in a logistics company too and snatch contracts from him!”
“Even at a loss! We must steal those contracts!”
“For a newly established company like his, I’m curious to see how long he can last. I want to witness him kneel before me, begging for mercy!”
Mike laughed heartily, prompting his subordinates to swiftly begin their search for a suitable logistics company.
On the other hand, after setting up his logistics company, Luo Feng was deciding on a new name.
After all, the logistics company was on the brink of bankruptcy before he took over. Changing its name would rid it of its ill-fortune.
“How about naming it ‘National Transport’?” Luo Feng asked Liu Jian, who was standing beside him.
Liu Jian, not particularly well-educated, immediately approved of the name with enthusiasm.
“I think it’s a great name! It’s no surprise, coming from you, boss!”
Listening to Liu Jian, Luo Feng couldn’t tell if he was genuinely pleased or simply flattering him.
Without another word, Luo Feng ordered the company sign to be replaced and sent someone to update the company’s registration details.
Once everything was settled, Luo Feng handed Liu Jian the data he had gathered overnight.
“While our primary focus is transporting artifacts, we still need a legitimate front for our business, or it will arouse suspicion.”
“Here’s a list of companies with significant logistics needs that I found last night. I’ve vetted them all, and they have clean backgrounds. Approach their bosses and see if they can give us some contracts.”
Liu Jian promptly set out to execute Luo Feng’s orders.
Meanwhile, Mike had already chosen a logistics company called ‘Prosperous International.’
It was a mid-sized enterprise that had previously faced financial difficulties. However, with Mike’s financial backing, all their monetary issues were resolved.
Now that they had accepted Mike’s aid, they were obligated to obey his directives.
“My demands are simple. There’s a logistics company called ‘National Transport.’ Whatever contracts they aim for, you must snatch them. As long as you can do that, I won’t interfere with your other business strategies.”
Upon hearing Mike’s conditions, the boss of Prosperous International felt like he had struck gold.
After all, stealing business was mainly about financial muscle.
With Mike’s investment, they had no shortage of funds.
“Rest assured, boss. This is a piece of cake. Just watch us.”
They began investigating the projects that ‘National Transport’ was negotiating.
Soon after, leveraging their price advantage, they snatched away all the contracts.
When Luo Feng learned of this, he was quite surprised.
“Boss, this is really strange. Every deal I negotiate gets stolen the very next day. And they snatch them away with a significantly lower price.”
“I had some accountants run the numbers yesterday. By stealing our contracts at those prices, they’re making no profit. They’re targeting us!”
Liu Jian looked visibly upset.
While the logistics company wasn’t their core business, being targeted in such a manner was infuriating.
However, Luo Feng remained calm, wondering who was behind these tactics.
A brief reflection led him to a likely culprit: Mike.
Mike was the only person with whom Luo Feng had openly clashed.
Realizing this, Luo Feng chuckled.
“He wants a financial showdown? Let’s give him one!”
Luo Feng then made a call to the bank and transferred a billion to the company’s account.
“Boss, is this really necessary?” Liu Jian seemed concerned.
“After all, this isn’t our main business. If they want to steal our contracts, we could just let them. Why spend so much?”
Luo Feng shook his head, “This money is just for show.”
“We’ll compete with them on price, but once our losses reach a certain limit, we’ll withdraw.”
Upon hearing Luo Feng’s plan, Liu Jian finally understood. “Boss, it seems you’re planning some retribution.”
