Chapter 101: Husband, You're So Skilled!
Chapter 101: Husband, You're So Skilled!
Upon learning that they were purchasing a ship for fishing, John and Jill praised them, "You guys are amazing!"
Jill added, "Amy wants to go fishing at sea. We don't have a yacht in Huaguo, so can we join you and go out to sea together?"
Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Fu.
Both agreed, and then Jiang Xia and the others agreed to meet at the city dock at 7 AM the day after tomorrow.
After touring the shipyard, with Jiang Xia's assistance, Jill and John happily signed the contracts, securing over a hundred million in business for the shipyard.
When the general manager, Xu Fangzhang, arrived with a translator, the contracts were already signed.
And it was two contracts signed in one go! Each worth tens of millions!
Xu Fangzhang never expected it to be so easy; negotiating with foreign businesses always involved nitpicking. But today, a deal worth over a hundred million was reached in just about an hour, which surprised him greatly.
Learning that Jiang Xia had been a great help and knowing that he was there to buy a ship, Xu Fangzhang was delighted and offered a discount of five hundred dollars as a token of gratitude, also stating, "In the future, you'll get a discount whenever you come to buy a ship!"
The ship was already priced low, after all, it was an order from three years ago. The manager couldn't afford to lower the price any further, so he promised future discounts on ship purchases.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "A ten percent discount?"
Xu Fangzhang didn't understand, "What's a ten percent discount?"
Jiang Xia explained, "It means a hundred dollars off for every thousand dollars."
Xu Fangzhang did a quick calculation in his mind; a ten thousand dollar discount? That's a bit much! But these two orders could offset how many thousands of dollars? It practically solved their export indicator for the entire year!
Moreover, he thought that many people could only afford one or two fishing boats in their lifetime, which was already impressive. He waved his hand generously, "Sure!"
At this moment, he never imagined that his generous gesture would come back to haunt him, causing him to regret it more and more as the years went by.
Why was he being so generous?
Even real estate agents didn't offer such big discounts, and houses weren't as expensive as large ships!
It was already past four in the afternoon when Jiang Xia and the others left the shipyard.
Zhou Chenglei reminded them to be careful on the road and to stick to the main roads as much as possible.
On their way home, everyone was in high spirits, and Zhou Fu pedaled with a lighter heart.
Perhaps they were too happy, for as they ventured far from the shipyard, they were intercepted on a small road!
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Fu applied the brakes, and the father and son stood with their feet on the ground, facing several teenagers blocking their path in the middle of the road.
Jiang Xia poked her head out from behind Zhou Chenglei's back and raised her eyebrows, realizing they had encountered a roadblock!
However, the teenagers blocking their way were only in their teens, mere kids in Jiang Xia's eyes.
The leader of the group, holding a stick, smacked his palm and said with a smile, "You folks just ordered a ship, right? How about reconsidering and canceling the order?"
Zhou Chenglei acted as if he hadn't heard and gripped the hand around his waist, then turned to support Jiang Xia's arm, "Let's get off the bike, no jumping, be careful not to get your feet numb."
Obediently, Jiang Xia dismounted the bicycle with his assistance, just like she usually did, and Zhou Chenglei asked if her feet were numb.
At that moment, several more teenagers ran out from behind them, blocking their path.
Zhou Fu turned to look back.
Jiang Xia raised her eyebrows and counted: there were twelve of them, each holding a wooden stick.
Zhou Fu frowned upon seeing so many youngsters. If it were just him and his son, it wouldn't be a problem, but Xia was a delicate girl, and he worried about her getting accidentally hit by a stick.
The leader of the group reassured them, "Don't be afraid! As long as you agree to cancel the ship order, nothing will happen to you!"
Zhou Chenglei still ignored the teenager and told Zhou Fu, "Dad, keep an eye on Jiang Xia later."
"Alright!" Zhou Fu readily agreed.
As for these dozen or so ruffians, Zhou Fu wasn't the least bit worried. If his son couldn't handle these young punks, then his years in the army would have been for nothing.
He was only concerned about his daughter-in-law getting hurt!
The leader of the group laughed, "I don't usually pick on the weak and vulnerable. If you agree to return the ship, we won't cause any trouble!"
Only then did Zhou Chenglei turn to look at him, "What if I don't?"
The leader smirked, "If not? Then none of you will leave here!"
"Fine, then none of you will leave here!"
The leader's face darkened. If they didn't show some strength, did they think he was just trying to scare them?
Today, he would show his brothers what they were capable of, and Guo Laoban would see their potential.
"If you don't drink the toast, drink the penalty drink, brothers, charge!"
And so, twelve of them rushed forward in unison.
Zhou Chenglei lifted the entire bicycle with one hand, gripping the front end, and with a swift sweep of the rear wheel, he knocked down everyone charging towards him. Some fell to the ground, while others tumbled down the narrow road.
Zhou Chenglei spun around nimbly, half-crouching. With another sweep of the bicycle, he took out the next wave of attackers.
The ones at the back, holding wooden sticks, rushed forward, but one of them wasn't quick enough, and the front few had their shins hit by the bicycle.
Some fell, while others dodged.
In the chaos, they bumped into each other, and the ones who managed to dodge the bicycle continued their charge with their sticks.
Zhou Chenglei kept using the bicycle as a weapon against them.
The wooden sticks clattered against the bicycle, making a loud banging sound.
Behind him, the leader, enraged, charged at Zhou Chenglei with his stick raised.
Zhou Fu protected Jiang Xia, keeping her close and shouted, "A Lei, watch out behind you!"
Zhou Chenglei was dealing with the ones in front when he saw the leader's stick about to hit him. Jiang Xia had already picked up a stick from the ground, and with a swift swing, she struck the leader's arm.
The leader winced in pain, dropping his stick. He glared at Jiang Xia, but as he grabbed for her stick again, she twisted it with all her might, dislocating his arm. The boy's wrist throbbed with pain, and he loosened his grip, staring at his dangling hand in disbelief.
Zhou Chenglei held the middle of the bicycle's front end with one hand and the seatpad with the other. With a swift turn, he kicked the leader, sending him flying. Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia to ensure she was unharmed, then released his grip on the seatpad, holding only the front end. The rear wheel of the bicycle swept out again, lightning-fast, knocking down two more attackers and sending them rolling off the road.
At the same time, someone else charged towards Zhou Fu with a stick, but Zhou Fu pushed the bicycle forward, using it to ram into them.
Zhou Chenglei set the bicycle down and grabbed a stick that was swung at him, following up with a punch to the attacker's face.
Jiang Xia saw the man fly back, his saliva spraying in a trail. The fearless ones kept charging, only to be met with kicks and punches that dislocated their arms.
Zhou Chenglei targeted their thighs, dislocating their legs and pushing them away.
He thought Jiang Xia seemed adept at dislocating wrists, and as the saying goes, 'Husband leads, wife follows,' he decided to learn from her.
Jiang Xia sat on the rear of the bicycle, watching Zhou Chenglei effortlessly overpower the dozen or so young ruffians.
They were completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back!
