Chapter 921: Hitting the Mark

Chen Ping's words made Nie Wei completely silent.

Although Nie Wei didn't know much about business, he had been with Chen Ping for so long, and he had a certain understanding of it. So he knew very well how difficult it would be for ordinary group companies to reach the level of the so-called rule maker in Chen Ping's mouth.

However, for some reason, Nie Wei had great confidence in what Chen Ping said, and even began to look forward to the appearance of this scene in the future.

Chen Ping caught Lu Changming on the spot at Pingshan Racecourse, and brought Lu Changming to the old house of the Lu family in Mo City to meet with the Lu family formally, and the negotiation between the two sides soon spread throughout the upper class of the entire Mo City.

Everyone was still very concerned about the final result of the negotiation between the two sides, but after learning that Chen Ping left the Lu family angrily, all the forces in the Mo City were also a little stunned.

In the eyes of these senior figures, the Lu family was in the wrong after all. Logically, the Lu family should have taken the initiative to seek reconciliation between the two sides. However, since Chen Ping took the initiative to meet with the Lu family, no matter what, the negotiation between the two sides has a 90% chance of success, and the fight between Pingyu Group and the Lu family will probably come to an end.

But no one expected that the negotiation between Chen Ping and Lu Zihao had completely broken down in a very short time, and the two sides did not continue to negotiate further. Obviously, there was probably no way to avoid a war between Pingyu Group and the Lu family.

Such a result really made everyone a little confused.

However, just after Chen Ping left the Lu family, Lu Zihao, the head of the Lu family, sent out a message saying that after Chen Ping came to the Lu family's old house, his attitude was extremely arrogant, and he had no intention of shaking hands and making peace at all. Instead, he deliberately angered Lu Zihao, so that the negotiations between the two sides broke down, Pingyu Group and the Lu family officially broke up, and there was no possibility of reconciliation.

After hearing this news, all the forces in the Demon City sneered at it. Even Lu Zihao, the head of the Lu family, did not expect that his remarks were originally intended to restore the image of the Lu family in the Demon City and to occupy some reason in the subsequent battle with the Pingyu Group.

But Lu Zihao did not expect that many things in this world would not be transferred by human will. The wishful thinking in the mind of Lu Zihao, the head of the Lu family, had actually anticipated what Lu Zihao wanted to do before Chen Ping went to the Lu family.

Since the two sides have fallen into the final state of struggle, Lu Zihao will naturally not sit and wait for death. Then, the first thing to fight between the two sides is reason.

Whoever can stand firm on reason can take the initiative in the next battle. Therefore, Lu Zihao's behavior was not beyond Chen Ping's expectations at all, but Chen Ping did not mean to worry about it at all, because in Chen Ping's view, Lu Zihao's behavior was really ridiculous.

The reason is very simple. Most of the high-level figures in the Demon City are self-important guys. In short, these people don't believe what they hear, but what they see with their own eyes. Of course, these high-level figures will not personally go to the door of the Lu family's old house to see the final result of the negotiations between the two parties. However, they believe more in the first-hand information sent back by their family.

Among these intelligence, there are several key points that these high-level figures must think are the most important. The first is what happened in Pingshan Horse Farm. Chen Ping had a conflict with someone in Pingshan Horse Farm and caught Lu Changming on the spot.

Just this point alone, the Lu family is not right.

After all, Lu Changming is the culprit in this matter and the whole process. The Lu family really shouldn't let Lu Changming go and continue to spend his time and money. Even if it's just for show, at least Lu Changming should be confined at home for a few days, but the Lu family didn't do so.

Therefore, Chen Ping personally rushed to Pingshan Racecourse and captured Lu Changming, which actually took the lead. In everyone's opinion, if the Lu family wanted to reach a settlement with Pingyu Group, the first thing they needed to do was to apologize to Chen Ping in person. After all, the Lu family was at fault in this matter.

After Chen Ping captured Lu Changming, he did not deal with it privately. Instead, he brought Lu Changming directly to the old house of the Lu family. Although he looked like he was going to ask for punishment, no matter what, Chen Ping's behavior was human nature, and he was quite patient, which was considered to give enough face to the Lu family.

But the negotiations between the two parties broke down. How could outsiders believe the attitudes shown by Chen Ping in the old house of the Lu family? However, as the saying goes, those who are involved are confused, and those who are on the sidelines are clear.

Many big figures in the Demon City actually believe this sentence very much, so they do not doubt their own judgment, but sneer at the remarks made by the Lu family to the outside world, and do not mean to take it to heart at all.

Lu Zihao, the head of the Lu family, was able to control the Lu family for such a long time, so he would not be a complete fool. Although he spread this statement, Lu Zihao was not completely relieved. He knew very well what those so-called big shots in the Magic City were thinking. So he did not have any hope for the statements he spread, but just gave the Lu family an excuse.

Lu Zihao did not even pay too much attention to what kind of results these statements had, but started to prepare at the first time to deal with the next attack of Pingyu Group. Lu Zihao knew very well that Chen Ping was not a good person, and Pingyu Group would definitely attack the Lu family in many ways.

However, Lu Zihao really couldn't guess what kind of means Chen Ping wanted to take.

Now Pingyu Group has only acquired a small supermarket company in the Magic City. If this small supermarket company is placed in the eyes of ordinary people, the scale is not too small, after all, it has a market value of several hundred million.

However, in the eyes of any hidden family or major forces in the Demon City, it is not worth mentioning at all. Lu Zihao naturally has no intention of taking this so-called Changping Supermarket Company Branch seriously. What he really cares about is the branch headquarters of Pingyu Group in the Demon City.

The Lu family has more than a dozen companies in the Demon City, but some of these companies are not worth mentioning at all. Among all the industries under the Lu family, the most noteworthy ones are the real estate industry and the supermarket industry.

Of course, the other dozen companies of the Lu family are definitely not to be underestimated when combined.

In short, the three major industries of the Lu family are the real estate industry, the supermarket industry, and the retail industry. As for the supermarket industry and the retail industry, although there are inextricable connections between them, the Lu family clearly separates these two industries.

These three industries are all controlled by the three brothers of Lu Zihao, the head of the Lu family, that is, the three elders mentioned by Lu Changlin.

The entire Lu family has assets of hundreds of billions, and coupled with the unknown background of the Lu family, the overall strength of the entire Lu family can indeed be called extremely strong. Now it seems that Pingyu Group has no foundation in the Magic City at all. If they want to fight the Lu family head-on under such circumstances, it seems that the only force they can use is the small supermarket company that Pingyu Group acquired before.

However, such an insignificant small supermarket company cannot pose any threat to the entire Lu family. However, what no one expected was that Pingyu Group’s first move was officially launched with the strength of this small supermarket company itself.

Although the scale of this small supermarket company is not too large, it has assets of several hundred million after all. It also owns three large supermarket stores and more than 20 small convenience stores.

Just after Chen Ping left the Lu family, within a few hours, all supermarket stores under this small supermarket company began to carry out unified promotional activities. As soon as this small supermarket company started to take action, many people in the Magic City suddenly realized that although this small supermarket company only had a few large supermarket stores and dozens of small convenience stores, the locations of these stores were surprisingly close to the stores owned by the supermarket company under the Lu family.

Moreover, this small supermarket company not only overlapped with the supermarket stores under the Lu family, but was even stuck near the most important stores of the supermarket companies under the Lu family. In this way, this small supermarket company, at the first moment of taking action, had already posed an extremely strong threat to the supermarket stores under the Lu family.

Such a situation really made all forces in the Magic City take a breath.

The reason is very simple. This small supermarket company was acquired by Chen Ping and the entire Pingyu Group when they first arrived in the Magic City. At that time, there was no sign of conflict between the Pingyu Group and the Lu family, and even the charity auction had not officially started.

As for the subsequent assassination and other events, they had not yet happened.

In the entire Demon City, there are thousands of large and small group companies, hundreds of hidden families and ancient martial arts families. The Lu family is just one of them. Among these forces, its strength is only at the middle level, not showing its strength. At that time, how could Pingyu Group make such a series of preparations in advance? The acquisition of a small supermarket company out of thin air just hit the soft spot of the Lu family. This is really unbelievable.

But no matter how unbelievable it is? After all, the incident has already happened. In addition to being amazed, everyone racked their brains but couldn't figure out how Chen Ping did it. Could it be that when Pingyu Group just came to the Demon City, it was already prepared and wanted to have a head-on conflict with the Lu family?

But at that time, the charity auction had not started yet. Chen Ping and Lu Changming had never met, let alone any conflict. As for the charity auction, after a careful investigation, it was found that the conflict between Chen Ping and Lu Changming at that time was clearly caused by Lu Changming's provocation of Chen Ping. This relationship of primary and secondary, and the connection before and after, really made everyone a little confused and felt a little inexplicable.

But no matter what, in this way, Chen Ping, the chairman of Pingyu Group, also had a layer of mystery in the eyes of all forces in Demon City.

As for the fight between Pingyu Group and Lu family, it is even more impossible for any force to rashly intervene in it, for fear that Chen Ping would once again inexplicably catch the weakness and hit it head-on.
