Chapter 197 The Dying Gionee
Chapter 197 The Dying Gionee
Wang Kai replied: "Understood."
Wang Hua put away his phone and gave a cold laugh.
To put it bluntly, Li Ming's meal today was a trap. His words conveyed the same message: Southeast Asia is Gionee's territory, so don't let them in through the intercom.
But he forgot one thing.
The Feast at Hongmen is called that because the person who invited the guests had murderous intentions.
But throughout today's dinner, he acted like a "husky."
…………
Three days later, at the Jakarta office.
Wang Kai placed a stack of documents in front of Wang Hua.
"Mr. Wang, we've found out."
Wang Hua and Li Qing each opened the file. The first page contained Li Ming's information, with his network of relationships written down below.
They investigated very thoroughly, finding almost everything they could find.
Li Ming: 38 years old, General Manager of Gionee Southeast Asia. He has been in Indonesia for 8 years, and his relationships mainly fall into three categories: business, politics, and the gray area.
He has ties to both the legitimate and criminal worlds, but his main interests lie in the legitimate world.
Wang Kai pointed to the documents: "He's quite close to the Chen Group. Before Chen Zhengguang's warehouse caught fire, Li Ming treated him to meals quite often."
According to inquiries made by his entourage, he likely wants to prevent us from entering the Southeast Asian market.
Wang Hua nodded and continued flipping through the documents.
In the political arena, he mainly cultivated relationships with two people.
Wang Kai stood up and posted two photos on the whiteboard in front of him.
Hassan, deputy director of the Indonesian Directorate General of Industry and Commerce, and Sujano, head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Jakarta Police Department.
His background wasn't particularly strong; he was just a nobody...
Wang Hua nodded, feeling confident.
"Do you have any evidence? If you're going to do this, then you should destroy them completely."
"Of course." Wang Kai smiled and pulled a photo out of the documents, then stuck it on the document again.
In the photo, Li Ming is standing at the entrance of a club, shaking hands with a middle-aged man dressed in traditional Indonesian clothing. The man has a young woman in his arms and is smiling broadly.
"This is Hassan. The photo was taken three months ago when Gionee was in Indonesia. A batch of mobile phones was detained by customs because the import fees were incomplete. The phones were released three days later."
That same evening, Gionee treated Hassan to dinner at this club, presumably after paying him a substantial bribe.
Wang Kai then posted another photo on the whiteboard, a clearer piece of evidence.
This is also evidence that could kill Li Ming.
Li Ming was stuffing something into a briefcase, and the person sitting opposite him was wearing a police uniform.
"Sugiano, head of the investigation department."
At the end of last year, Gionee's competitor TCL was reported for suspected smuggling and was investigated for three months.
Although the truth was eventually found out, the peak sales season was missed, resulting in a loss of at least $2000 million.
The whistleblower is Li Ming.
"Is there any more detailed evidence?"
"It's not too direct, but the timing matches up." Wang Kai pointed to the photo on the whiteboard. "Mr. Wang, TCL was investigated after this photo was taken."
Wang Hua stared at the photos in silence for a few seconds.
Since they were able to take photos, it means Li Ming was also setting traps for these people. Finding evidence would be quite easy.
"Have the security team bring the photographer over; a living person is proof," Wang Hua said with a smile.
But Li Qing said somewhat anxiously, "President Wang, should we leak these things out?"
"If you send it to them, they'll definitely be happy to deal with Gionee."
"No rush."
Wang Hua closed the documents: "It's too early to use these things now."
Li Qing was a little confused: "Early? Li Ming is already riding roughshod over us, why aren't we fighting back?"
"There are two ways to retaliate," Wang Hua said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "One is to hit back and make him feel pain, and the other is to hold a knife and let him know that we can make him feel pain, and then he will keep bleeding, bleeding uncontrollably."
He looked at Wang Hua: "If this gets out now, at most Li Ming will just have to find another place to continue his career. Gionee can't protect him, but his network of connections in Indonesia is still there."
He can come back in two years under a different guise...
"So you mean...?"
"When is the press conference...?"
"May 25th, one week from now."
"A week is enough time for Li Ming to jump," Wang Hua said, standing up. "Let him jump, the higher the better. Once he feels confident, then we'll draw the knife."
Wang Kai nodded. Since the other party had jumped on their heads, they definitely had to be swatted dead in one fell swoop.
…………
On the evening of May 24th, Wang Hua's phone rang again.
It was Li Ming calling again.
Wang Hua answered the phone, and as soon as the call connected, the other party couldn't wait to speak.
"Mr. Wang, there's a press conference tomorrow, right?" His voice was tinged with laughter. "Let me give you one last piece of advice: it's not too late to back out now."
Wang Hua chuckled as well, thinking, "This bastard really thinks he's the boss."
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Li."
"Mr. Wang, I'm not joking with you." His voice lowered, the threat becoming more pronounced. "There are some things you don't know now, but you'll know tomorrow."
Don't blame me later for not warning you.
"We're all doing business legally, so what is Mr. Li referring to?"
There was only a chuckle on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Wang is a smart man; he should understand what I mean."
"Understood, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Wang Hua hung up the phone immediately.
Wang Kai asked nervously, "Sister Wang, what does Li Ming mean by that? Is he going to cause trouble at the press conference?"
Wang Kai was indeed a little worried, after all, this was his first official press conference.
It's no wonder he's facing this problem right after his debut; how could he be happy?
A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Probably." She picked up the document again. "Otherwise, wouldn't the money he gave Hassan and Sugiano be wasted?"
"So what do we do? Should we strike first and plant them in the ground?"
Everyone laughed. This seemingly frail person was actually suggesting that they all plant themselves in the fields at a time like this.
That's quite strange.
Wang Hua said with a smile, "We can't plant crops yet, but we can't just sit around waiting."
Have the security team send more people tomorrow.
Also, make several copies of this document…
Wang Kai's eyes lit up as he took the documents; they were a follow-up to the investigation results from the previous two days.
The photographer has admitted that someone paid him a large sum of money to lie in wait and take pictures.
As for its purpose, the photographer didn't know... he only knew that the other party had given him a large sum of money, but the outcome should be obvious now.
Trying to have your cake and eat it too is a big no-no anywhere, let alone in this cannibalistic place.
"Mr. Wang, you mean...?"
You'll find out tomorrow...
Li Qing smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and then said:
"Wang Kai, you're just one last push away, which is also a characteristic of our company."
You should know that we've never been bullies who prey on the weak; we aim for a fatal blow.
"That's right, we only need to remember one sentence from the phone call Li Ming just made."
He told us to go and say it now, and not to blame him for not reminding us, that we should return that sentence to him verbatim.
