Chapter 276 Burning Goods
The abandoned steel plant was abuzz with activity.
In the afternoon, trucks emitting black smoke sped away.
The steel plant was still piled high with goods from Yangyangyang Company, tens of thousands of packages neatly stacked in the factory's warehouses.
Wu Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, beckoned to his employees, and twenty-odd burly men entered the room with him.
Wu Feng said, "Come, let's have some tea and rest for a while. Dinner will be later. This batch of goods just needs to be sent out before twelve."
The twenty-odd men all showed honest and upright smiles. They said, "Old Squad Leader, if it continues like this, even if we don't get deliveries from anyone else, relying solely on Yangyangyang Company is enough for us to live very comfortably."
"Yes, Old Squad Leader, it's all thanks to your capability that this express delivery chain has come alive."
"If we continue shipping like this, the express delivery fees will be around fifty million a month. After deducting basic expenses of thirty million, we'll still have twenty million left!"
Wu Feng laughed heartily and nodded, "Right, twenty million. Eighty of us, working hard for a month, earning about twenty million. On average, each of us nets two hundred and fifty thousand a month, hahaha..."
Wu Feng laughed and gave the group of old brothers a thumbs-up, saying, "So, roll up your sleeves and work hard, and life will get better."
Someone beside him quickly said, "Old Squad Leader, don't always divide equally. You are our boss, our organizer, you put in the most effort and the most thought. It's embarrassing for us when you always divide the money equally."
Wu Feng wagged his finger and said, "What are you talking about?! We brothers naturally share both fortune and adversity."
"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get this entire express delivery chain running in one day. In short, earning more or less isn't important. What's important is that this is our undertaking."
"We want to make it big, we want to bring convenience to Yangyangyang Company and to the customers who buy the goods. This is the meaning of our existence."
"We brothers work hard together, fight together, and earn money together to live good lives. This is very fair."
The crowd drank water and laughed.
The sky darkened.
After eating, Wu Feng and the other twenty-odd people returned to the warehouse to continue sorting goods. These hundreds of thousands of items had to be quickly sorted according to directions like east, south, west, and north.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Feng and his men were still working overtime.
Just then, with a series of "rumbling" sounds, a row of vans stopped at the entrance of the steel plant.
Then, over eighty men wearing masks jumped out of the vehicles. They were armed with steel bars and knives, and many also held torches and gasoline.
They charged into the steel plant, saw the hundreds of thousands of goods, and sneered.
The man in the lead waved his hand and said, "Burn them."
Seeing this, Wu Feng immediately ran forward and shouted angrily, "Stop, who are you?"
The leader was named Li Liu, famous under Master Ma San, who called him Little Liu. However, others in Qingzhou City called him Master Liu.
Li Liu sneered at Wu Feng and said, "Old dog Wu, you really haven't learned your lesson!"
"Couldn't you have just stuck to transportation? You had to get into express delivery. Do you think you're the boss of Qingzhou City, and no one dares to touch you?"
"Listen up, old dog Wu, get out of the way quickly, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
Li Liu said, waving his hand, "Burn all these goods."
Instantly, over a dozen people stepped forward.
Wu Feng's eyes reddened. He took a step forward, spread his arms wide, and said coldly, "Get the hell out of here. This is my territory."
At this moment, a thug suddenly kicked Wu Feng to the ground. The twenty-odd brothers behind Wu Feng rushed forward together.
Li Liu saw this and extended his arm, pointing at them, "All of you, get out of the way obediently, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Wu Feng stood up abruptly and said with a cold smile, "We are in the express delivery business, and these goods are our lives. Since I, Wu Feng, have accepted these deliveries, I guarantee they will be safely delivered to the customers. You've come to the wrong place to make trouble. Brothers, grab your weapons."
Then, Wu Feng and his men immediately picked up wooden sticks from the corners. The twenty-odd of them were not intimidated by the four to five times larger group.
Li Liu frowned. Although Wu Feng and his men were all forty or fifty years old, their spirit was formidable, and the way they held their sticks clearly showed they had been trained.
Li Liu remembered that Wu Feng and his men were all retired soldiers, and they clearly had some skills.
Li Liu gritted his teeth and tried to trick Wu Feng, "Old dog Wu, how long can you hold on? Look at you, an old man, still fighting here. Aren't you worried about your own health, and don't you worry about your family?"
As Li Liu's words fell, the people behind him burst into laughter, "That's right, old dog Wu, I heard your widowed daughter is quite beautiful!"
"Not only a widowed daughter, but also a granddaughter, right? Your granddaughter is also very cute. Aren't you afraid she might disappear one day on her way home from kindergarten?"
Wu Feng's blood boiled upon hearing this. He hadn't expected these people to dare to threaten him with his family.
Wu Feng walked towards Li Liu with his wooden stick, his face filled with anger, "Shameless bastards, threatening me with my family. Your business tactics are truly despicable."
Li Liu became impatient. He hadn't expected burning goods today to be so troublesome.
Li Liu gritted his teeth, his momentum weakening. Facing Wu Feng and these twenty-odd retired old men, he was actually a little scared.
Although his men were numerous, it was clear from the way they were preparing to fight that Wu Feng's men were willing to fight to the death.
As Li Liu hesitated, suddenly a black SUV roared and charged into the steel plant.
The SUV didn't brake at all, directly charging towards Wu Feng and his men. Wu Feng and his subordinates quickly scattered, and two who didn't manage to dodge in time were sent flying with two thuds.
The black SUV opened its doors, and four men wearing leather jackets and black iron gauntlets got out.
These four men let out a cold snort. They looked at Wu Feng, whose face was pale, and sneered, "Heh, things that don't know their place. We broke your arm before and killed your son-in-law. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and still dare to oppose Master Ma San. Since that's the case, we'll send you on your way today."
Li Liu and the others became extremely excited upon seeing the four men get out of the SUV. They immediately applauded and cheered.
Li Liu said excitedly, "It's the Four Heavenly Kings! They are Master Ma San's Four Heavenly Kings! My God! Master Ma San has sent his most capable Four Heavenly Kings. It seems Wu Feng is dead for sure this time."
