Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1263 Thinking of a Countermeasure!

Leaving aside Xu Banxia and the others' discussion about how to invest, let's turn our attention back to Guo Qidong's side.

After leaving Xu Banxia's storage yard, Guo Qidong did not return to Qiu Bizheng's company immediately, but went to Zhao Lei's company and went to General Manager Steve's office.

"Steve, our plan has failed!" Guo Qidong said directly to Steve as soon as he entered the office.

“What?” Steve asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Our plan failed. Xu Banxia suddenly returned, and most importantly, she brought two bosses from Shanghai with her! Those two bosses are said to want to invest in Xu Banxia's company!" Guo Qidong said angrily.

"A boss from Shanghai? How could Xu Banxia know a boss from Shanghai? Have you been fooled by her?" Steve asked, somewhat surprised.

“It’s true! One of those two bosses is the president of Shengxuan Group, and the other is the president of Baozhu Group! These are their business cards!” Guo Qidong took out Tan Zongming and A Bao’s business cards and handed them to Steve.

Steve picked it up and saw that it was indeed as Guo Qidong had said.

"Are you sure these two people are real?" Steve asked.

"I've never met these two bosses before! But judging from their demeanor, they seem genuine, so I can't be sure!" Guo Qidong said helplessly.

"So what do we do now? According to my information, steel prices can't keep falling! An increase is inevitable! Now is the best time to buy at the bottom, especially Xu Banxia's scrap steel, which is all special steel. If we can get our hands on it and wait for the price to rise, we can directly achieve a leap in social class!" Although Steve is the company's general manager, he himself is just a high-level employee!

Just like Zhao Lei, he could be abandoned at any time because of a single mistake!

"Steve, according to what I understand, didn't your company lend Xu Banxia 24.5 million? That's an acquisition contract! Shouldn't we demand that Xu Banxia fulfill the agreement now?" Guo Qidong asked curiously, his eyes darting around.

“It’s difficult. Zhao Lei has already prepared a way out for that woman! We can’t press for repayment now! If we do, Xu Banxia will definitely bring up the previous supplementary agreement!” Steve said.

"Then why is there no other way? Seeing such a huge pile of money sitting there and not being able to get it is really agonizing for me!" Guo Qidong was a little anxious; he was genuinely envious.

When Xu Banxia was going to the Black Sea, she borrowed money from many people! Guo Qidong lent her the money because of the high interest rates.

I thought earning 300,000 yuan in a year was already quite an achievement, but I never expected that Xu Banxia would actually buy 50,000 tons of special steel at a price of more than 300 yuan per ton!

Guo Qidong felt resentful. Why could Xu Banxia become a millionaire after just one trip to the Black Sea, while he, Guo Qidong, was relegated to being the one who paved the way for her? That's why all these things have happened.

"Guo, our primary task right now isn't to focus on that scrap steel, but to find out exactly how much investment Xu Banxia got from those two bosses! Can we get a share of the profits?" Steve looked at Guo Qidong with disdain, but he had to appease the greedy guy in front of him first.

After all, if Steve were to do these things himself, he wouldn't be able to achieve the level of Guo Qidong. Therefore, the person in front of him is the most suitable to charge into battle.

“I have no other choice! After all, Xu Banxia only owes me one million in total, and even with interest, it’s only one million three hundred thousand! If I push her too far, she’ll find a way to pay me back, even if she has to borrow money!” Guo Qidong said.

“Why don’t you go back and ask your boss, Mr. Qiu? Have him contact Wu Jianshe, and then we big clients can work together to put pressure on Xu Banxia?” Steve said.

"It seems this is the only way! I hope President Qiu can come to terms with it!" Guo Qidong said.

After leaving Steve, Guo Qidong went to find Qiu Bizheng.

When Qiu Bizheng heard that a Shanghai businessman wanted to invest in Xu Banxia's company, he immediately concluded that it was all a hoax by Xu Banxia and that it was all a delaying tactic by Xu Banxia!

Finally, he even called Wu Jianshe to inquire about the situation of Shengxuan Group and Baozhu Group. In Qiu Bizheng's eyes, Xu Banxia was just a ragpicker! What did she have to be proud of?

Wu Jianshe actually had a little scheme in mind. He originally planned to have Xu Banxia bring the steel back, and then buy it from Xu Banxia himself, and then sell it at a high price!

Unexpectedly, steel prices plummeted by half, leaving him with nothing!

"Mr. Qiu, do you really think those two people are big bosses in Shanghai? Shengxuan Group is a company of that size! It's a company with assets of hundreds of millions! How could they possibly come here to invest in Xu Banxia?" Wu Jianshe said.

"Brother Wu, do you also think these two people were brought in by Xu Banxia for a rehearsal?" Qiu Bizheng asked curiously.

“That’s right, I feel that Xu Banxia is just stalling for time, waiting for steel prices to rise again! Otherwise, if these people come to collect debts today and tomorrow, could you stand it?” Wu Jianshe said with a face full of disdain.

"Hehe, I really can't stand it!" Qiu Bizheng said with a chuckle.

“That’s right, so I’m sure those two people are fake!” Wu Jianshe said.

"Then what do we do? That girl Xu Banxia borrowed a million from me, saying she'd pay me back 1.2 million in six months! It's such a small amount, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it!" Qiu Bizheng said.

As a well-known businessman in Binzhou, Qiu Bizheng would never do something like forcing someone to come knocking on his door to collect a debt of one million.

“Let’s not talk about collecting debts, let’s just say we want to see those two bosses from Shanghai!” Wu Jianshe said.

"Brother Wu, shall we go? Let's weigh it?" Qiu Bizheng said with a smile.

"You go first, I'll set off right away!" Wu Jianshe said through gritted teeth.

“Alright, then let’s meet at Xu Banxia’s storage yard!” Qiu Bizheng said.

At this moment, Xu Banxia was unaware that Wu Jianshe and Qiu Bizheng were already heading towards the storage yard, and she had no idea that the person behind Guo Qidong was actually Steve.

At this moment, Xu Banxia was extremely busy at the storage yard because Zhao Lei had arrived.

Standing at 1.82 meters tall, Zhao Lei exuded an air of elegance and refinement, like a dashing young gentleman. Coupled with his composed and calm demeanor, even Chairman Gao and Wei Hong couldn't help but admire him, remarking that he truly was a refined and elegant man!

"Zhao Lei, these are the saviors I specially invited from Shanghai: Sister Zhao Weihong, President Tan of Shengxuan Group, and President Bao of Baozhu Group! Moreover, the two bosses have agreed to invest in my company and will lend me capital so I can make another trip to the Black Sea!" Xu Banxia said excitedly.
