Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Nearby Perfume Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Nearby Perfume Splendid Properties has a deep background, and no one dares to scheme against them unless they have taken the wrong medication.
However, the person in charge of the local project was very certain that it was sabotage.
Yet, the response from the local officials was so sly that he couldn't find an excuse to lash out, so he had no choice but to seek out someone to exert pressure.
In fact, what he was more eager to find out was who was harming him behind his back.
The person responsible for the notification would surely say nothing, but Splendid Properties had an antenna on its head, and looking down the chain wasn't hard.
Soon enough, Director Zhao came to understand that it was the group's Chief Financial Officer who had offended the Little Princess of the Gu Family while abroad on vacation.
The Chief Financial Officer… How should it be put? He was actually handpicked by the Crown Prince's mother; he wasn't an absolute nepotistic appointee but did indeed possess some managerial skills and was quite obedient, serving as an informer for Madame Wang to understand the group dynamics.
Despite this, Director Zhao didn't feel it was right to directly approach the Chief Financial Officer, so he went to the Prince to make a complaint.
Strictly speaking, such a trivial matter wasn't worth bothering the Prince over, but Director Zhao was aware of several anomalies in a few other projects, which could not be fully discerned yet due to their recent occurrence.
The Prince of the Wen Family didn't make a statement right away, only saying that he knew about it and then immediately contacted the people who were following Director Guo.
Once he confirmed that it was indeed Director Guo who had provoked a group of beauties on his own initiative, he couldn't help but fly into a rage, “Gu Laosan may have died, but Gu Laosan's daughter's status within the Gu Family is not low at all.”
Besides, the wife of Gu Laosan was not without her own connections. If she wanted to make trouble, she could indeed cause problems for Splendid Properties in several cities.
In the face of the Prince's fury, Director Guo swore that he truly did not know the person was from the Gu Family.
But the Prince didn't care about such excuses and told him explicitly, “The company's sponsorship of the film is cancelled, if you can't receive forgiveness from the other party, then don't bother coming back…”
In truth, the Wen Family was not afraid of the Gu Family, and the Prince had even thought to himself that should the Gu Family cause unwarranted trouble, he would definitely not tolerate his own people being bullied.
But if his own lackey took the initiative to provoke the Little Princess of the Gu Family–and in such a suicidal manner at that–he would not be lenient in his response. Having lustful intent was not a fault, but harassing the wrong person? That was a huge mistake.
Without the courage to even explain, Director Guo couldn't dare to say, “I was trying to pave the way for you, right?”
After hanging up the phone, he scurried off to find those guests–his attendants were secretly following and knew their lodging.
Regrettably, that group had already taken the morning's flight to Bangkok…
Upon arriving in Bangkok, Feng Jun and the others immediately found a local guide and car, then proceeded to enter various shopping centers and began a buying spree.
Wang Haifeng and his group were planning to “carry goods” for Feng Jun, but Feng Jun declared that he could manage the goods by himself.
So, everyone made their purchases without hesitation.
None of them came specifically for smuggling; they were primarily here for sightseeing, helping Feng Jun with cover, but since they had come and were carrying Storage Talismans, it would have been unreasonable not to buy more.
Thus, even Teacher Mei, the “poorest” of the eight, bought over a million worth of luxury goods and then took another twenty million from Feng Jun to continue the shopping spree.
In her words, she planned to return home, package these luxury goods, and sell them to someone. Her demands were not high–an earnings of three to four million would suffice–“From now on, I need to focus on my cultivation, so I have to earn some money first.”
Keep in mind that Feng Jing has always been open about money; she has methods of making money and isn't stingy about spending it. While she may not become exceedingly wealthy, she certainly ranks among the affluent.
The usually generous Feng Jing was suddenly considering borrowing money to make money, indicating that she was serious about her cultivation practice.
Immediately, Madame Wang made a guarantee, “You don't even need to find a buyer, I'll take all your goods, and I'll buy them at a 15% markup on your price.”
Madame Wang didn't have a lot of money at home, but wasn't Wang Haifeng's family wealthy?
Thinking she was helping Feng Jing, both Yang Yuxin and Sister Hong just raised their eyebrows, silently remarking that she wasn't so generous after all.
The two of them had their own channels for disposing of goods. Sister Hong knew people in smuggling, while a simple call from Yang Yuxin could sell the smuggled goods as legitimate–no one would think that Director Yang would sell counterfeit products.
Simply put, such a group of eight, who weren't short of money, one can only imagine the shopping frenzy they would create.
Even Teacher Mei, the “poorest” among them, had purchased luxury goods worth over twenty million, so the spending by others need not be elaborated; after two days of shopping, the group had acquired nearly two hundred million worth of luxury items.
“This Loreal, they have a factory here locally, so the prices are quite cheap… How much are you selling them for?”
“Hello, madam, this is a set. Each set is only 3,800 Thai Baht.”
“Over seven hundred Huaxia currencies, it's indeed not expensive. How many do you have? I'll take them all.”
“Madam… We have over two thousand sets in stock here. Are you sure you want them all?”
“I'll take them all. It's not a lot of money… Will there be more stock tonight?”
Of course, Loreal is actually considered a second-tier brand, and purchasing it feels like a huge pile. It's the first-tier cosmetics that are truly terrifying–a twenty-inch bag can hold goods worth over twenty thousand.
Only by buying like this can so much money be spent in two days, and their eight-person shopping group became famous in the luxury goods circle within those two days. And that's with Feng Jun not buying much, as Wang Haifeng's mortal version of the Storage Talisman has limited capacity.
Many merchants in Bangkok were amazed; the purchasing power of Huaxia citizens was incredibly strong.
Two days later, someone finally contacted Sister Hong: the goods were ready, perfumes valued at eighty million, with a variety of fragrances from major brands, all in plain packaging, ready for delivery at any time.
Sister Hong had already brought the money to Macau in advance. As for how things were handled in Macau, she didn't need to worry–it was indeed different for organized people. The last time, Feng Jun had sent Wang Haifeng and Xu Leigang personally to the casino.
This time, they prepared an extra thirty million worth of goods, and they trusted Sister Hong enough to plan to deliver all of it first and collect the payment back in the country later.
After all, in the world of the jianghu, such practices were normal; by standing by her reputation, she held a corresponding status.
Feng Jun discussed with her, and they agreed to meet at eleven o'clock the next morning.
The delivery location was in the suburbs of Bangkok, a city so vast with a population of over ten million. To put it in perspective, the entire population of Siam does not exceed seventy million, and Bangkok accounts for one-sixth of that.
The suburban location was, needless to say, quite remote from the city center where Feng Jun was.
Feng Jun arrived at the delivery spot on time with Feng Jing and Sister Hong. There were already four vehicles parked there, including a luxury bus used for transporting tourists and three large box trucks.
The delivery site was in a jungle. The trees in the tropical region grew very tall, tall enough to hide any human activity beneath their branches from drones.
The man in charge of the delivery was a thin, dark-skinned man with a Malay appearance, but his height of 175 centimeters gave him a somewhat standout presence.
The man spoke fluent Mandarin, “For our first cooperation, Mr. He from Macau said there will be more to come. To show our sincerity, you may take these four vehicles… It would be best if you can return them, but it doesn't matter if you don't.”
His manner was certainly that of someone used to big transactions, though the stock preparation took a bit longer than usual… These items were not produced in Siam after all, and the global supply has rules, so it's not possible to prepare complete stock in a short period.
However, Feng Jun smiled, “It's a bit troublesome for three people to drive away four vehicles.”
The man quickly offered, “I can lend you four drivers at five thousand Thai Baht per day… They're just responsible for driving.”
Indeed, his grand gesture was not by his own initiative; despite giving away four vehicles, he still kept a precise tally for the daily wages.
“Let's talk about that later,” Feng Jun said with a slight smile, “Can we start checking the goods?”
It was impossible to check all the goods; otherwise, just moving those boxes would exhaust people. A random sample was sufficient.
Feng Jing and Sister Hong were accustomed to using luxury products. Although far from the legendary “scent experts,” they could still roughly identify the quality and fragrance of perfumes.
Not to mention Feng Jun; he could identify “nearby perfumes.”
Well, “nearby perfumes” is a joke, but he knew the basic chemical composition, so of course, he was not afraid of inferior products being substituted for good ones.
Therefore, this spot check took only half an hour, after which Feng Jun left Feng Jing to guard, while he and Sister Hong drove two vehicles away from the site.
Teacher Mei was a somewhat strange person, cautious most of the time, not keen on causing trouble, but essentially, she was not a timid person–otherwise, how could she often travel alone?
There she was, alone facing eight or nine men, nervously guarding two vehicles, her left hand occasionally rubbing the ring on her right–the Storage Ring not only contained a gun given by Feng Jun but also an automatic rifle.
You should know that Director Mei had military experience and practiced shooting. Her hands, used to playing musical instruments, were only average with guns, but she indeed knew how to use them.
About fifty minutes later, Feng Jun and Sister Hong returned on a motorbike–right, Bangkok too had motorbike taxis, which could even be overloaded, with one bike carrying two people.
They did not say where they had put the cars, leaving the Siamese looking a bit puzzled, but ultimately they did not ask–what was the point in asking about something already given away?
Then, they drove the two vehicles away again, taking Feng Jing with them, while the Siamese still had no reason to stop them.
Actually, both had only a license for small cars and were not qualified to drive buses or large trucks, but both were extraordinarily bold–after all, they had seen others drive them.
This time, they repeated their previous trick, driving the cars into a forest, first unloading the goods into the Storage Bag, then storing the vehicles too.
Then, Feng Jun pulled out an unregistered motorbike and drove away with the two women.
After traveling about seven or eight kilometers, he found a spacious spot to release all four vehicles and asked Sister Hong to contact the intermediary to inform them to come for the vehicles.
Since cooperation was pleasant, Mr. Feng was not willing to take advantage of others.
