Chapter 5 — Returning to Hao Mon I Choose Cash Flow

Khuong Kien Quoc decided immediately, "The eighth day of next month is an auspicious day, let's have an engagement party first." That night, I was so obedient that I couldn't have been more obedient. I even took the initiative to give Khuong Vu Nhu a piece of fat that she hated the most. Seeing her look like she wanted to vomit but didn't dare to vomit, I ate so deliciously that my stomach opened up and I ate three bowls of rice in a row. For the next half month, the Khuong family was immersed in an atmosphere of fake joy. Khuong Kien Quoc received the contract extension from President Vuong, Khuong Vu Nhu took over the "New Ky Nguyen Commercial Center", and began to vigorously carry out the so-called "upscale reform". Her first fire was to fire the old manager of the fresh food area at the shopping center, who had worked for twenty years, and then replace her with her senior from college - a guy who studied abroad and babbled in abbreviated English all day long, only knowing how to make presentations that even male and female couldn't tell the difference.

“We must build Art of Seafood, not a vegetable market!” Khuong Vu Nhu slammed the table with enthusiasm during the management meeting, "In the future, all seafood must be transported by air, it must be the highest quality source! We must kick out all the low-level suppliers full of fishy smell and mud!"

The list she kicked out included the three largest upstream suppliers in the province. Those three families are my "sworn brothers" when I kill fish at the market. I called Lam Man: "Let's go. Activate plan B." After investigation, it was discovered that Van Dinh Son Trang was sealed because the previous investor broke the capital flow and owed a huge loan to the bank. That year, Khuong Kien Quoc accepted this hot potato out of greed for cheap, thinking he could get out by relying on relationships, but ended up being stuck for ten years. Now, this tattered debt on the bank's balance sheet is a malignant tumor. As long as someone is willing to spend money to accept it, even if it is only for a tenth of the price, the bank will happily sell it. In my hand, was the black card that Khuong Kien Quoc used to comfort me, with a limit of up to twenty million, along with the first capital I earned from using this money to short sell a seafood company on the futures market. I also have to thank the five years I spent at the vegetable market. In this seemingly lowest place, in fact, the most genuine market information circulates. Three days later, Lam Man picked up a thick stack of documents and threw them in front of me.

"Done. Twenty-eight million, bought out all creditor rights of Van Dinh Son Trang and its dependent land. Congratulations, Miss Khuong Ninh, you are now your father's biggest creditor."

At the same time, the New Era shopping center had its first crisis. Because Khuong Vu Nhu cut off the channels of old suppliers and switched to finding so-called "high-end importers", the source of goods in the fresh area of the trade center was extremely unstable. What's more fatal is that the senior studying abroad, in order to earn a commission, found an unqualified middleman. Saturday afternoon, right when the number of customers in the shopping center is the most crowded. A VIP lady has been shopping at the mall for more than ten years, buying in the area fresh New Era a king crab said to be “airfreighted from Australia”. As a result, after being steamed, the crab meat fell apart and emitted a faint ammonia smell. The lady got angry, carried the crab directly to the shopping center, and slammed the crab shell on Khuong Vu Nhu's exquisite desk.

“Is this what you call high class? I think it's a scam!”

Khuong Vu Nhu had never seen this scene before and was so scared that he could only cry, while the senior studying abroad stood next to him and explained in broken Chinese that this was a "special fermented flavor". This scene was captured by a crowd of onlookers and posted on a short video platform. 【The young lady of the New Era shopping center sells rotten crabs, she also says it has a fermented flavor, the rich people's way of eating is really unsightly】 The video immediately exploded. The Khuong family's stock price on opening Monday morning hit the floor immediately.

Khuong Kien Quoc at home got angry and broke the tea cup into pieces.

"You idiots! You're all idiots! Who told you to change suppliers? Old Mr. Ly has been supplying for ten years without any problems, so why did you have to change?"

Khuong Vu Nhu cried until the pear flowers were drenched in rain, knelt on the ground and hugged Khuong Kien Quoc's feet: "Dad, I just want to make the shopping center stronger... that senior clearly said it was the best source of goods... I didn't know I would be deceived..."
