Er Zhu did not speak, but forcefully pulled back his corner of clothing. Ma Qiang, due to his excessive strength, almost fell to the ground.
"Fine, you insist on doing this? Then so be it, I won't leave. If you have the guts, kill me!"
Ma Qiang had pleaded with Er Zhu to no avail. Seeing no hope, Ma Qiang stood up.
This bumpkin held immense power, but what could he do if he simply went on strike?
All the medicinal herbs would rot here. He wanted to see whose loss would be greater!
Huabei City was thousands of kilometers away from Liuliu Village, and the sheer volume of these medicinal herbs required large trucks like his for transportation. Such a small, dilapidated town wouldn't have them.
With this thought, Ma Qiang became even more confident. If it was a fight to the death, he would fight to the end!
"Er Zhu, why don't you just not acquire his company? Our town doesn't have these large trucks!"
Hearing Ma Qiang say this, Lin Quan quickly pulled Er Zhu aside and whispered a reminder.
Although he was also angry, he felt that business should come first. These medicinal herbs were an important source of income for the villagers, and they couldn't all rot in the fields.
"Er Zhu, these medicinal herbs are the only source of income for our Lihua Village. If these herbs cannot be transported out, then our entire year's work will be in vain!"
"Yes, these medicinal herbs are what's left after selling. If they can't be sold, the losses will be immense."
…
As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, many villagers ran over with concern.
Due to Er Zhu's expanding business, the cultivation area for medicinal herbs had grown larger and larger. Some villages had even planted medicinal herbs on all their village land. This was Ma Qiang's best bargaining chip!
"Wang Er Zhu, if you have the ability, just keep blocking me. Brothers, get on the trucks!"
Seeing Er Zhu surrounded by villagers, a trace of smugness flashed in Ma Qiang's eyes. He waved his hand, and all the truck drivers got into their vehicles, ready to leave.
Even if they returned empty, they would lose less money than these villagers!
What's more, without the medicinal herbs, this bumpkin's medicinal plant in Huabei City would also have to halt production!
He wanted to see how this so-called richest man in Huabei City would handle this entire situation!
Just as Ma Qiang was preparing to leave with his subordinates, dozens of large trucks suddenly came from the opposite direction!
These trucks were all brand new, and their number and size were even greater and larger than his trucks!
Lin Quan and the others also saw them. They stared blankly at the trucks, discussing amongst themselves for a long time without understanding what was happening.
Only Lin Quan seemed to have guessed something, but he quickly dismissed the idea. No matter how capable Er Zhu was, he couldn't possibly have prepared for this to such an extent!
"These trucks were all purchased by me. From now on, we will have our own transportation fleet."
As everyone was in doubt, Er Zhu slowly spoke. Upon hearing this, a hush fell over the crowd, and everyone stared in shock at the large trucks slowly approaching.
"Boss, these trucks must be worth over a hundred million…"
"More than that. This model is the top-of-the-line among large trucks. Each one costs seven million!"
Beside Ma Qiang, two drivers who hadn't yet gotten into their trucks stared in dumbfounded amazement at the large trucks parked in front of them. Suddenly, one of them recognized the brand of the trucks and exclaimed.
Seven million per truck. Ma Qiang counted. There were thirty trucks in total, which amounted to twenty-one billion!
And this didn't even include the drivers' wages…
Ma Qiang swallowed hard in shock, a flicker of envy and admiration in his astonished eyes.
As expected of the richest man, he made such a grand gesture when buying vehicles!
"Er Zhu, why did you buy cars for no reason? Don't tell me you saw the situation here halfway?"
Lin Quan, having recovered from his shock, quietly approached and asked curiously after confirming no one was paying attention to them.
He knew Er Zhu had excellent eyesight and could diagnose any illness at a glance, but he didn't believe Er Zhu truly possessed clairvoyance!
"No, I just don't want to be controlled by others. Besides, it's only a few billion. It's nothing to me."
Er Zhu shook his head gently, his eyes fixed on the large trucks as he replied indifferently.
In reality, things weren't quite like that. He had indeed used his Heavenly Eye ability halfway to see through Ma Qiang's intentions, and that's why he had bought the trucks on impulse.
Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone these things.
"Oh, right. This whole thing happened because Ma Qiang wanted to make more money."
Lin Quan blinked, then suddenly seemed to recall something and nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with admiration and envy.
It's good to be rich. You can do whatever you want. Billions are nothing to Er Zhu…
"Boss!" At this moment, the truck drivers all walked up to Er Zhu and bowed respectfully.
"Load these medicinal herbs onto the trucks. From now on, the transportation of medicinal herbs will be your responsibility!"
Er Zhu pointed to the long line of medicinal herbs and then to the highway not far away, giving instructions.
Upon receiving the order, the truck drivers quickly began to work. Ma Qiang and his men were completely stunned. Ma Qiang, in particular, was utterly blank-minded!
He had originally intended to threaten Er Zhu with this matter, but he never expected such a result!
These medicinal herbs would be delivered to Huabei City on time, and his company had been acquired by Er Zhu. How would he make a living in the future!
"Boss Wang, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and let me off this time. Let me join your transportation team; I don't even need wages!"
"Boss Wang, he forced us just now. Please spare me this time. I want to join the team too!"
"Me too!"
"I want to as well!"
…
Before Ma Qiang could finish speaking, his truck drivers began to beg to join the team. Some, like Ma Qiang, were willing to work without wages!
"Alright, you can stay. Your treatment will be the same as theirs. As for you, get lost!"
As everyone was pleading with Er Zhu, Er Zhu waved his hand impatiently. He pointed to the other truck drivers and then finally pointed at Ma Qiang.
It wasn't that he was petty and unwilling to forgive, but Er Zhu didn't want one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel.
Ma Qiang could do such a thing once, and he could do it again. Er Zhu didn't have the leisure to supervise him every time.
"Wang Er Zhu, you!"
Ma Qiang froze, his anger intensifying. He wanted to curse at Er Zhu, but thinking of Er Zhu's prominent status and the menacing villagers, he could only suppress his rage.
"Brother Lin, I'm entrusting all the businesses here in Liu Town to you. Can you manage?"
Seeing that Ma Qiang had stopped speaking, Er Zhu turned to Lin Quan and asked.
Ma Qiang's earlier taunts had indeed reminded Er Zhu. Lin Quan had contributed so much to his business, and he should give him some of it.
