Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 813: You Say I'm Domineering? Then It's Your Wish

As the lights come on, Huanghe Road is even more dazzling with neon lights. There is a constant stream of diners coming and going, including well-dressed wealthy men and fashionable young women. Every scene is impacting Boss Ma's worldview.

“So this is Shanghai.”

Looking at the flashing neon sign of Zhizhen Garden, Boss Ma took a deep breath and silently said in his heart: "Shanghai, here I come."

"Hello sir, have you made a reservation in advance?" The receptionist asked politely with a smile on her face.

Boss Ma said tentatively: "Boss Qin asked me to come here."

"Is it Mr. Qin from Vientiane Plaza?"

"Ah."

The receptionist smiled even brighter when she heard this: "So you are Mr. Qin's distinguished guest. Please follow me."

From the receptionist's attitude, Boss Ma had a more intuitive understanding of the status of Mr. Qin, a well-known but unknown person, in Huanghe Road.

The receptionist took me all the way to the box.

"Sir, Mr. Qin hasn't arrived yet. Can I serve you some refreshments first?"

"Well, okay, thank you."

After Boss Ma walked into the box, he was even a little afraid to sit down. He originally thought that the decoration of the hall of Zhizhen Garden was already very luxurious, but he didn't expect the box to be even more magnificent. Even the imperial palace could not be more magnificent than this, right?
Soon, the snacks were served. Boss Ma waited until the receptionist left before he started eating. He squinted his eyes unconsciously after taking the first piece.

"Shanghai is indeed a big city. Even a simple pastry is so delicious."

On the other side, in the lobby of Zhizhen Garden, the receptionist walked quickly up to Li Li.

"Madam Boss, the guests invited by Mr. Qin have arrived at the box."

Li Li nodded: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work."

After the receptionist left, Manager Pan said hesitantly, "Madam Boss, Boss Li and President Fan's celebration banquet is scheduled for today. Boss Qin invited a boss from another place to have dinner with us at this time. Isn't it targeting us?"

"possible."

Manager Pan looked at Li Li in shock, somewhat unbelievably. That was a person whose sneeze would make the Yellow River Road tremble, yet this proprietress could remain so calm.

"You go and greet Boss Li first, I'll be there soon." Without any explanation, Li Li sent Manager Pan away and went to the kitchen.

Mr. An was wearing a white chef's uniform, directing the kitchen, and it really looked like that.

Li Li didn't say anything, just looked at Mr. An quietly. The latter seemed to have noticed Li Li's gaze, and they looked back and their eyes met.

At the back door of Zhizhen Garden, Mr. An lit a cigarette, took a deep puff and said to Li Li.

"What's going on ahead?"

Li Li said in a cold voice: "Boss Li and President Fan have already arrived. President Qin and President Bao will probably be here soon."

Mr. An nodded and took another long puff of his cigarette: "You're taking a risky move."

"There's no other way. Taking shortcuts comes at a price."

"But it's still too risky."

At the beginning, Mr. An actually did not agree with Li Li's plan. After all, the little friendship between them and Qin Hao had been used up when Zhizhen Garden opened last time, and Qin Hao and Abao were the Chip Brothers who grew up together.

Li Li also lit a cigarette for himself, puffing away smoke, and said calmly, "There is no such thing as doing business without taking risks."

"Did Qiang Mujie contact you?"

After a long silence, Mr. An suddenly asked.

Li Li nodded gently: "Yes, Qiang Mujie is now the general manager of a state-owned financial institution in Shenzhen, and he will come to Shanghai to set up a sales department next year."

"Qiang Mujie can't beat him." Mr. An sighed.

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Mr. Qin has been a big shot in Shanghai for so many years, and there are many people who are jealous of him. I want to see if he can really dominate Shanghai."

"Don't you think what happened back then was too much of a coincidence? The rumor about the stock market expansion came from Shanghai, and afterwards, he took over your team so easily."

Li Li's red lips moved slightly and her eyes became sharp.

Mr. An sighed: "Why bother to delve into the past? Besides, he did help me pay off my debts, otherwise I would have been..."

"But I can't accept this. You are so talented, but now you can only stay in this smoky kitchen."

Mr. An's eyes darkened and he put out the cigarette in his hand: "Since you have made up your mind, then do it according to your own wishes. No matter what happens, I will bear it with you."

Looking at Mr. An's lonely back, Li Li's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists.

"I will definitely cheer you up again."

On the other side, Boss Li and Fan Xinhua's celebration banquet was being held. It was obvious that both of them were very happy and had drunk a lot of wine, especially Fan Xinhua, whose face was flushed.

"Boss Li's move is indeed extraordinary. Everyone said that Mr. Bao was so powerful, but he was snatched away by Boss Li. In my opinion, in the future, Boss Li will be the one who has the final say in Shanghai."

"That's right, Mr. Bao, he's just lucky and made some money from stocks. If we talk about strength, it has to be Mr. Li."

Faced with everyone's compliments, although Boss Li was polite in words, he was extremely pleased in his heart. The reason why he spent so much more money to intercept was not to make money, but to make a name for himself in Shanghai. It is worth a fortune to buy a horse's bones.

Fan Xinhua was also smiling. This time he raised the ex-factory price to 26 yuan, helping the factory earn an extra yuan at one time. Moreover, with the connection with Boss Li, the factory would definitely not go bankrupt. After he returned, the workers would worship him as a Buddha.

More importantly, with the help of A Bao's fame, Fan Xinhua also gained a certain reputation in Shanghai. Wherever he goes now, people politely call him: Mr. Fan. He is no longer the unknown person who was ignored by everyone.

However, just as Boss Li and his companions were toasting each other and drinking, Manager Pan brought two men and one woman, and the originally bustling hall suddenly became silent.

Those people who were just flattering Boss Li restrained their expressions, lowered their heads and avoided Qin Hao's gaze.

When Fan Xinhua saw Qin Hao, A Bao and Miss Wang, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Qin Hao glanced at Fan Xinhua and was about to go upstairs when he heard a voice behind him.

"Please stay, Mr. Qin."

Boss Li walked up to Qin Hao with a big smile on his face and said, "Boss Qin, it's better to meet by chance than to invite you. How about you stay and have a couple of drinks?"

Qin Hao just glanced at him and said in a cold tone: "Do me a favor? Do you deserve it?"

"You..." Boss Li suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile, "When doing business, everyone has their own way. But Mr. Xu Bao is lowering the price and not allowing others to find a higher price. Isn't that too overbearing?"

A Bao's eyes narrowed. The other party's words were intended to suppress Qin Hao morally. Qin Hao had been calling the shots in Shanghai over the years, and naturally he had inevitably offended many people. It seemed that he was in a flourishing relationship before, but in fact, those people just saw that Qin Hao was so powerful and did not dare to confront him head-on.

Now that Boss Li has stepped forward, it will inevitably attract the secret support of many people who are dissatisfied with Qin Hao. If he is allowed to occupy the moral high ground, it will be greatly disadvantageous to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao looked at Fan Xinhua, then set his gaze on Boss Li, and said word by word: "Since you say I am overbearing, then I will have no choice but to do as you wish."

"I said, Abao is my brother. Bullying him is the same as bullying me."

"From today on, anyone who has business dealings with you two will not be able to sell any of their goods to me at Vientiane Plaza!"

After saying that, Qin Hao slowly walked upstairs. The hall was silent except for the sound of his footsteps, which touched everyone's hearts one by one.

A Bao was moved, glared at Fan Xinhua, and followed him upstairs.

Boss Li came to his senses and immediately replied, "Shanghai Tang has more than one sales channel, Mixc Plaza. Does Boss Qin really think he can cover the sky with one hand?"

However, Qin Hao ignored him and went up to the corridor on the third floor, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.

Fan Xinhua's face turned pale. He had thought that Qin Hao would stand on Abao's side, but he didn't expect that Qin Hao would be so determined to help Abao get back his face. Isn't it said that the business world is all about interests?

Boss Li saw Fan Xinhua's timidity, secretly despised him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Fan, he is not the only one who has the final say in Shanghai."

But before he could finish his words, several bosses who were attending the celebration banquet came over.

"Boss Li, congratulations to President Fan. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I'll leave now. Please stay."

Then more and more bosses stood up to say goodbye. Not all of them had business dealings with Vientiane Plaza, but who could say for sure about such things? Without the motivation of interests, who would offend Qin Hao for Boss Li and President Fan?
Unless someone has been kicked in the head by a donkey, businessmen are not fools and they know the accounts very clearly in their minds.

Just like that, the originally lively celebration banquet suddenly became deserted, and only a few guests who were deeply tied to Boss Li stayed.

Seeing this scene, Fan Xinhua couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Just one sentence made so many bosses dare not even continue to attend the celebration banquet. This made him have a deeper understanding of Qin Hao's influence.

Fan Xinhua suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to have made a wrong choice.

In the private room on the third floor of Zhizhen Garden.

Boss Ma had almost finished all the food brought by the waiter and was counting the time boredly by looking at his watch. Just when he was getting a little impatient, the door of the private room was pushed open.

"Boss Ma, welcome to Shanghai." Qin Hao took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand to Boss Ma.

Boss Ma subconsciously shook Qin Hao's hand, then turned to look behind him. The person in front of him looked too young and didn't look like the legendary person at all.

But Abao, who was following behind Qin Hao, looked even less alike to Miss Wang.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Bao, and this is Miss Wang."

Boss Ma reacted immediately and shook Qin Hao's hand tightly, saying, "Excuse me for being so ignorant, but I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so young. I'm sorry."

"Boss Ma is joking. Let's take a seat first."

After the four of them sat down, Qin Hao picked up the menu and asked, "Boss Ma, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"I can't eat anything too spicy, but everything else is fine."

Qin Hao nodded and ordered ten dishes in total, then handed the menu to Manager Pan: "Let's have these first, and ask the kitchen to serve the dishes quickly. Boss Ma has come from afar, and I'm afraid he must be hungry."

"Sorry to trouble Mr. Qin." Boss Ma kept a low profile. He vaguely felt that a huge opportunity was in front of him. As long as he seized it, he would soar to the sky.

After Manager Pan left, Qin Hao winked at A Bao.

A Bao didn't beat around the bush and directly took out a Sanyang brand sample and handed it to Boss Ma.

As soon as Boss Ma got it, he said, "Is this a replica of Montblanc?"

A Bao's eyes lit up: "Yes, it is produced by Huxi Knitting Factory. It has the same effect as Montagut, but the cost is less than a quarter of Montagut."

"A quarter?" Boss Ma sneered, "If you produce for me, I can reduce the price by another 20%."

"Oh? Boss Ma, are you sure you can make exactly the same product?" Miss Wang's face also showed joy. She had been blaming herself a lot these days. If Abao had not been helping her, she would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation today.

Boss Ma said proudly, "It's just mercerized cotton. Although the cost of this stuff is higher than pure cotton, it's not a great technology. To be honest, our factory produced a batch of Montagut imitations two years ago, and the quality is no worse than this."

As they were talking, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Li Li walked in with a group of waiters serving the dishes.

"Boss Qin, Boss Bao, Miss Wang, I'm sorry I was delayed by something just now. I'll drink a glass as punishment."

Qin Hao played with his wine glass and said casually, "Ms. Li, I heard that you were the one who helped Mr. Fan with his business?"

Li Li almost choked on the wine. He took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort and said with a smile: "Boss Qin misunderstood. Boss Fan did meet Boss Li in Zhizhen Garden, but I just opened the door to do business. I don't know how they talked."

"Oh, really?" Qin Hao sneered and put the wine glass directly on the table, avoiding Li Lilai's action of pouring wine.

Li Li looked a little embarrassed: "Boss Qin, I really didn't know about this. If I knew that Boss Li intended to steal Boss Bao's business, I would have informed you immediately."

"Okay, we still have things to talk about, you can go out." Qin Hao said in a cold tone. This was the last chance he gave Li Li, but she chose to fight to the end, so don't blame him for being ruthless.

Li Li turned around and left, her face turned pale, and her hands folded across her chest trembled uncontrollably. Of course, she understood the consequences of offending Qin Hao, but in order to cheer up Mr. An, she had to do this. She didn't believe that Mr. An could still resist taking action after being involved in the game and forced into a desperate situation.

In the box, Boss Ma quickly negotiated a price with Abao, which was three yuan lower than the 25 yuan he had negotiated with Fan Xinhua.

Time was tight and the task was heavy, so Abao drove Boss Ma back to Zhuji overnight.
