"Ladies, let me introduce everyone!" Zhou Kun shouted from the center, immediately drawing everyone's attention. A group of beautiful women walked over.

"The lawyer by my side was hired by the boss. If you have any legal issues in the future, you can find him. Just call him Brother Bo, and treat our dear Brother Bo well!" After speaking, he pushed Zhu Libo's back hard, and the man stumbled headfirst into the crowd of beauties.

After being tossed around by the beauties, when he emerged from the crowd, his glasses were broken, and one leg was bent and resting on his nose.

He was still a bit dazed, swayed in place, and then slowly stood up. He shook his dizzy head and gave Zhou Kun a silly grin.

"How does it feel!?" Zhou Kun chuckled.

"Too... too enthusiastic!" He was still a cultured person, and it was his first time experiencing such a sensual torment, making him a bit shy.

"The clothes these beauties are wearing were designed by our boss. The shop uses about a thousand outfits every night, and the boss has many new designs, so we're preparing to open our own clothing factory!"

"What!" Zhu Libo held his glasses with one hand, a million alpacas stampeding through his mind. For a moment, he didn't know how to describe the boss, who looked kind and handsome.

He always felt that his intelligence and talent were being applied in the wrong place, going astray!

Regardless of his inner thoughts, he had to say, "The boss is so talented, this business will definitely work. By the way, why are so many clothes used? It doesn't look like there are that many people!?"

"Hehe, the customers are very brutal," Zhou Kun raised his eyebrows, a smile of unknown meaning on his face. "They all get torn to shreds by the customers!"

"Gulp!" He swallowed again, yearning for it!

"Alright, let's go, see you tomorrow!"

On the third day at noon, Zhou Kun came to find Wang Xuan. The company was registered, and the copyrights were all registered. They had also looked at a factory, but the boss needed to confirm it.

In fact, Zhou Kun had already been busy with most of it a few days ago. It was just that some legal issues had been a bit tricky. With a lawyer's help, everything was quickly resolved.

Wang Xuan had nothing else to do, so he called Shen Leman and asked her to go see the clothing factory together. This was also where Shen Leman would manage in the future.

They drove all the way to the New Territories and saw the location Zhou Kun had chosen.

It was a factory covering about four mu of land, backed by a hillside. The equipment was quite complete, but a bit old. There were no workers left in the factory.

The original owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with a big belly. He seemed very enthusiastic when he saw Wang Xuan.

"Mr. Wang, look, this factory of mine has only been built for less than five years. With this quality, it can last for more than ten years. The machines are also the latest models, and the quality is very good. Within a few years, they won't be outdated. I'm telling you, if you acquire it, you can start production immediately and make money right away."

"It's that good, why aren't you continuing to run it yourself?"

"I... I'm just getting old! I can't do it anymore, unlike you young people who are so energetic. I'm old, I'm not capable anymore!"

In fact, this person didn't want to stay in Hong Kong anymore. The public security had been getting worse over the past two years, and the handover was a foregone conclusion. The "fear of communism" mentality and some smear campaigns against the mainland had led many wealthy people to consider immigrating.

This clothing factory owner was one of them.

"How much?" Wang Xuan asked decisively.

"4.8 million, only 4.8 million, and this place is yours! Including the four mu of land." The middle-aged man gesticulated wildly, trying to swindle the rich second-generation heir in his eyes.

Wang Xuan didn't know if the price was expensive or cheap, but this fat guy didn't look like a good person, especially the way he looked at him, which made him very unhappy. He pointed to Zhu Libo beside him, "This is my lawyer. I'll have him investigate if you've been evading taxes!"

Seeing the middle-aged man's expression as if he had eaten excrement, Wang Xuan continued, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I'm from East Star. I'll have my subordinates go ask your former workers if there were any instances of abusing workers or withholding wages. I believe they'll be willing to sue you in court, and I'll provide them with lawyers."

The middle-aged man's expression changed from eating shit to having lost a son. He wished he could beat this kid in front of him to death, if he dared.

"Don't think about selling it to someone else, no one will dare to buy it!"

"This is extortion!" the middle-aged man said furiously.

"You can sue me!"

Seeing Wang Xuan's indifferent expression, the middle-aged man took a few deep breaths, suppressing his anger. "Tell me, how much do you want to buy it for?"

Wang Xuan turned to Zhou Kun. "What's the market price?"

"The price I had someone appraise was 2.8 million."

Seeing Wang Xuan lost in thought, the middle-aged man held his breath, waiting for the answer. If the price was too low, he would rather not sell it than give it to these triads cheaply.

"I'll give you 3 million, and we'll handle the paperwork tomorrow for immediate handover. Of course, this is provided that the factory and machines are as good as you say." Wang Xuan patted the middle-aged man's shoulder. "I never let people I do business with suffer losses, but I hate being lied to. The last person who lied to me was turned into a cement statue and sunk into the sea. Don't think about running away. As long as you're still on Earth, I'll find a way to get you."

After speaking, without waiting for the middle-aged man's agreement, Wang Xuan turned and left with his people.

Watching the group leave, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh. He really hadn't expected the final outcome to be like this. 4.8 million was him asking for the moon, trying to get a big payout. 3 million was already within his acceptable price range.

Getting into the car, Wang Xuan asked smugly, "How was my negotiation?"

"Great!" A Bo said sincerely.

In fact, they could also have gotten to this price, but it would have taken a lot more time.

Thanks to Smile, Sunshine, I'm on the Road, and Chasing Three for their rewards! Thank you.
