Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

Bai Hanchuan also saw the man. He stopped and frowned slightly: "Who is that? Why haven't I seen him before?"

I shook my head, the feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. That man gave me a bad feeling. The way he looked at the base was like a hunter staring at his prey, full of calculation and greed.

We walked over, but before we could ask, the man came over. He looked us up and down, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his lips: "Hello, I'm the person in charge of the Hongfa Planting Base, my last name is Liu."

Hongfa Planting Base? My heart skipped a beat. Isn't that our biggest competitor? What is he doing here?

Bai Hanchuan asked calmly, "Boss Liu, what's the matter with you coming to our base?"

"It's nothing big. I just heard that your base has been developing very well recently, so I wanted to come and learn from you." Boss Liu said with a smile, but his eyes kept glancing at the interior of the base. "Boss Bai, do you mind if I go in for a tour?"

Bai Hanchuan naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only agree. I followed them silently, but I felt more and more uneasy. Boss Liu's arrival was definitely not accidental, he must have other intentions.

In the following days, I found some agricultural products similar to ours on the market, but at ridiculously low prices. I bought some and studied them carefully, and found that although the quality of these products was not as good as ours, they were still pretty good.

Who is maliciously competing with low prices? What is their purpose?

I told Bai Hanchuan about my discovery. After hearing it, his face became serious: "It seems that our boss Liu has bad intentions."

"Hanchuan, do you think it could be..." A terrible thought emerged in my mind.

"Don't worry, I'll check it out." Bai Hanchuan held my hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Wang!"

A figure immediately flashed in from outside the door, "Boss, what do you want?"

Bai Hanchuan lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear. Xiao Wang nodded, turned around and left quickly.

My heart is still hanging in the air, unable to land...

After Bai Hanchuan arranged for Xiao Wang, he turned around and held my hand with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

I forced a smile, but the anxiety in my heart was like a vine, wrapping me up so tightly that I could hardly breathe. Malicious competition is like a gust of cold wind, and you never know when it will turn into a violent storm that sweeps away everything.

Xiao Wang was very efficient and had news within two days. He found me and said solemnly, "Madam, I found out that those low-priced agricultural products came from a newly opened wholesale market in the south of the city, but..."

"But what? Just say it." My heart tightened.

"But when I asked for information, I was warned. They told me not to meddle in other people's business and also said..." Xiao Wang hesitated, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

"What else?" I demanded.

"They told us to mind our own business, otherwise, they would shut down our base!" Xiao Wang lowered his head, with a hint of anger and fear in his tone.

My heart sank suddenly. It seemed that our opponents were more ruthless and more difficult to deal with than we thought. They were making a blatant threat!

To make matters worse, in the afternoon, Uncle Li, an old customer of the base, called and said anxiously, "Xiao Mu, has someone been behind you lately? I heard..."

I held the phone, my palms were already full of sweat, "Uncle Li, what did you hear?"

"Hey, someone said that your base is going to fail, and asked me not to buy from you anymore. Xiao Mu, don't worry, I trust you. As long as you need me, I will definitely cooperate with you!"

My heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. It seemed that our competitors were not only suppressing our prices, but were also spreading rumors in an attempt to completely destroy our credibility!

In the evening, Bai Hanchuan dragged his exhausted body back home. Seeing me forcing a smile, he hugged me and said, "Don't be afraid. We can definitely get through this."

I leaned on his shoulder and poured out all my worries and fears of the day. Bai Hanchuan listened quietly, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

"It seems that we have underestimated the determination of our opponents." Bai Hanchuan's tone was calm, but there was a chill in his voice, "They want to force us into a desperate situation!"

"So what should we do now?" I looked up and looked at him anxiously.

"Tomorrow, we will hold a general staff meeting!" A trace of determination flashed in Bai Hanchuan's eyes, "We must attack head-on and must not sit and wait for death!"

My heart, however, was still heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, making it hard for me to breathe. The opponent was coming at us aggressively, and we...

It was late at night, the moonlight outside the window was cold, and my heart was as cold as the moonlight. Bai Hanchuan was still busy in the study, his brows were furrowed, and he kept flipping through the account book. I knew he was worried about the funds.

"Are you asleep yet?" Bai Hanchuan came out of the study, saw me sitting on the bed in a daze, and walked over to me and hugged me gently.

"Yeah, I'm thinking about something." I leaned on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, as if I had found a little comfort.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way out." Bai Hanchuan gently stroked my hair, his tone gentle but a little tired, "I've thought about it, the most important thing now is to stabilize market confidence and increase publicity efforts to let more people know about the products of our base."

I understood what he meant, but publicity requires money, and the base is currently short of funds. I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"I know what you're worried about," Bai Hanchuan seemed to see through my thoughts, "I'll find a way to get the funds, you don't have to worry."

I nodded, but I felt even more uneasy. What could Bai Hanchuan do? Should he sell his property? No, I couldn't let him do that!

I returned to my room, closed the door, and was extremely anxious. Suddenly, I thought of the space system, which is omnipotent and may be able to help us overcome the difficulties!

I closed my eyes, concentrated, and tried to establish a connection with the space system. However, this time, I felt like there was a layer of fog between me and the space, and I couldn't see the situation clearly.

I tried several times, but the space system still didn't respond. Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with the space system?

My heart sank immediately, just like my hand grasping a life-saving straw suddenly fell away, and a feeling of powerlessness surged into my heart. At this moment, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door, accompanied by Xiao Wang's anxious voice:

"Madam Boss, something bad has happened..."

My heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came over me. I immediately stood up and opened the door, and saw Xiao Wang sweating profusely and looking panicked.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I grabbed his arm and asked anxiously.

“Madam Boss, our base…our base…” Xiao Wang stammered and couldn’t utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Tell me quickly!" I was extremely anxious. It was the middle of the night. Could something have happened at the base?

"In our base... there are several acres of vegetables... they seem... they seem to be sick!" Xiao Wang finally finished his words, with a hint of fear in his tone.

The vegetables are sick? My head buzzed and my vision went dark. The most feared thing for a vegetable base is pests and diseases. If they are not handled properly, they will cause large-scale losses and even affect the reputation of the entire base!

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Don't panic, take me to see it first!"

I followed Xiao Wang and trotted to the field where the accident happened. In the moonlight, I saw that the vegetables that were once green were now as if they had been burned, with yellow leaves and no life.

I squatted down and took a closer look, and found that these vegetables were infected with a disease I had never seen before. This disease spreads very quickly, and if it is not controlled in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Xiao Wang, notify all workers immediately and start rescue work overnight. The disease must be under control!" I made a prompt decision and instructed Xiao Wang.

"Yes, boss lady!" Xiao Wang did not dare to neglect and immediately turned around to gather people.

I stood on the ridge of the field, watching the busy figures of the workers, but my heart became heavier and heavier. This sudden disease was like a wake-up call, knocking on my heart.

The failure of the space system, the shortage of funds, and the sudden disease, all of these seem to indicate that a greater crisis is about to come.

I returned to the room and saw Bai Hanchuan still waiting anxiously. "How is it? What happened?"

"Something happened in the base, but I've arranged for someone to deal with it. You don't have to worry." I didn't want to make him worry more, so I said it in a nonchalant manner.

Bai Hanchuan looked at me, his eyes full of worry and fatigue. "There have been too many things going on at the base recently. Thank you for your hard work."

I shook my head. "We are husband and wife. Why bother talking about this? The most important thing now is to solve the problem. We can talk about other things later."

In the next few days, Bai Hanchuan and I devoted all our energy to saving vegetables and stabilizing market confidence. While actively looking for ways to treat the disease, we also stepped up publicity efforts to assure customers that there was no problem with the quality of our base's products.

Fortunately, after everyone's efforts, the disease was finally under control and did not spread further. In terms of the market, although it was affected to some extent, it was generally stable.

However, just when we thought the crisis was over, a phone call broke this brief peace...

"Hello, is this Boss Mu? I'm Lao Li, and I'm telling you, you'd better be careful..." Lao Li's voice was very low, with a hint of mystery and nervousness in his tone.
