Chapter 867: Love rivals make an appointment

Ma Liu was pursuing Sister Mei after listening to Fang Yulu's words. He originally wanted to play the fierce game of "Big King" but the plan failed because of a small negligence. However, when he looked back, Fang Yulu really knew Sister Mei very well. If it weren't for Ma Liu's carelessness, the plan might have been successful.

Lying on the bed, Ma Liu couldn't fall asleep for a long time. After carefully analyzing the causes and consequences of the matter, he hated himself a little, hated himself for being too careless, hated himself for being blinded by a temporary victory. Now Xiao JJ is no longer in pain, but he feels heartbroken, but now he regrets it too much, so he can only find another opportunity to take down Sister Mei. But Ma Liu himself is actually very clear that today was a sudden attack on Sister Mei, which caught Sister Mei off guard for a while, but missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today. If you want to play such a game in the future, it will probably make Sister Mei more vigilant. It is already quite difficult to succeed, at least there will be many twists and turns in the middle. Of course, if Sister Mei sacrifices herself automatically, it will be another matter.

I didn't sleep well all night. When Ma Liu woke up the next day, Sister Mei had already gone to the company early. Perhaps she was afraid that she would feel embarrassed when she ran into Ma Liu. During breakfast, Alisa was sulking, obviously angry about Ma Liu's promise last night. Ma Liu persuaded her a little, and finally Alisa finally forgives him.

After breakfast, Ma Liu suddenly wanted to go and see Liu Yuanquan. He hadn't seen him for a long time. Ma Liu also wanted to hear how the rose essential oil plan was being implemented now, but just as he was about to go out, Alisa's phone rang.

After hanging up the phone, Alyssa's face became a little ugly. She sat on the sofa, looking depressed, as if she was struggling with something in her heart. Beiya bit her lips tightly.

Ma Liu was a little puzzled, sat next to Alisa, frowned and said, "What's wrong? What happened? Don't worry, let me hear it. Maybe I can give you an idea. Is there something wrong with the Holy See?"

Alisa looked at Ma Liu and nodded, "Dear, I really don't want to leave you, yes, yes, but--"

"What's really wrong with the Holy See?" Ma Liuyi was shocked and said, "What's going on?"

Alyssa said with some concern: "Jimmys contacted several cardinals to attack my master suddenly. Now the master is injured, and the pope has fallen into Jimmys' hands. Master asked me to go back and discuss the matter of saving the pope together."

Ma Liu frowned and said, "This Jimmy is the ambitious cardinal you mentioned last time? Isn't he busy going to war with the Dragon Gang?"

"So that's how it is. But there are problems inside the Dragon Gang now, so it retreated not long ago, which gave Jimmys an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now things are like this. I, I don't want to leave you, but I have to go back." Alisa said.

Ma Liu thought for a while and said, "Why do I go back with you? I will bring some experts over and deal with Jimmys together."

"No!" Alisa flatly refused.

"Why?"

Alisa said: "Because this is an internal matter of our Holy See, I can't bring you in. And you will start a war with Yuwenxuan in a few months. You must prepare with all your heart. Once you leave China, I'm afraid that Yuwenxuan will take the opportunity to attack you. And that Jimmys is not easy to deal with. Even my master was injured. If you go, I'm really worried. You'd better stay in China with peace of mind. Don't worry, I will protect myself. Once the matter is resolved, I will come here as soon as possible."

Ma Liu's eyes rolled a few times, and after thinking for a long time, he finally sighed: "I thought about it and felt that you made some sense. Otherwise, you go back first and transfer all your people back, but you must promise me that you can't take any risks. After I control the Dragon Gang, I will bring someone to help you and completely remove Jimmys so as not to cause trouble in the future."

"Okay, I'll be careful, you should be more careful, too." Alisa nodded.

The two hugged each other, kissed passionately, and then called Jak and asked everyone to go to the airport. Then Maliu sent Alisa away. When Alisa's special plane took off, Maliu suddenly felt a little disappointed. For so long, he had adapted to the feeling of having Alisa by his side. Suddenly Alisa left, Maliu was really uncomfortable.

After driving to Zhongzhou Building, on the 20th floor, Maliu was taken to the living room by a beautiful front desk mm. Maliu did not introduce his identity, but only signed up for his name, saying that he wanted to meet Liu Yuanquan, so the front desk didn't care. After all, this is Hong Kong, not Shanghai, and the front desk has just graduated from the University of Hong Kong and came here for internship for a while, so naturally he didn't know Maliu's identity.

However, when the front desk mm went over to tell Liu Yuanquan, the latter was startled and immediately ended a meeting at hand early, and brought the front desk mm to see Ma Liu. As soon as he entered the living room, Liu Yuanquan smiled and held Ma Liu's hand and said respectfully: "Mr. Ma, I didn't expect you to come to inspect the work in person. The front desk has just arrived, I don't know who you are. I have neglected you before, so you must not blame me!"

The front desk mm was immediately scared to death by Liu Yuanquan. She remembered some details she hadn't cared about before, but her eyes looked at Ma Liu a little strange. Maybe Ma Liu never dreamed that after learning about his identity, the first thing that the front desk mm thought of was not his identity as the boss of Qingfeng Group, but the ambiguous relationship with Fang Yusu mentioned in the news in recent days.

Ma Liu asked the front desk to go out first and returned to the office with Liu Yuanquan. Liu Yuanquan asked the secretary to serve tea, then waved the secretary and sat down with Ma Liu, saying thankfully: "Mr. Ma, at noon, I treat you. How about we go out for a few drinks?"

Ma Liu was stunned and smiled and said, "You wouldn't invite me to have a drink for no reason?"

Liu Yuanquan is now full of brands, but it is very appropriate to wear it on her body. She looks like a model of a successful man, quite stylish. After looking at Ma Liu, Liu Yuanquan brewed for a while before he said sincerely: "I want to thank Mr. Ma for his cultivation. If it weren't for Mr. Ma, I would not have been like me today. So, to be honest, I will always remember this kindness. When I arrived in Hong Kong, I must have a drink with Mr. Ma, and I would also like to ask Mr. Ma to give me a chance."

"Okay, okay, you have such a heart. If I am polite, it will be boring. Okay, let's go out for lunch together. But I am very interested in the rose essential oil plan now. Let's talk about how the current plan is implemented?" Ma Liu agreed readily and asked.

Liu Yuanquan said: "The rose essential oil plan is very mature in Asia, with a market share of more than 35% in similar products, and has begun to show results in the European market, with a market share of about 20%. Based on the current expansion speed and growth rate, it should be about 50% and 35% respectively in the second half of next year. I wonder if Mr. Ma is still satisfied with this report card?"

Ma Liu smiled and said, "Of course I am very satisfied, but what is the share the Li family has in the implementation of the entire plan?"

"I have to say that Li Zekai is indeed a talent. Many of our promotion plans are provided by them, but I am gradually adjusting my dependence on them now, because in terms of long-term development, we must be independent. The greater our dependence on them, the gradually reduced the profit margin in the future. I think this is what Mr. Ma wants me to do!" Liu Yuanquan said in a low voice.

Ma Liu nodded and smiled: "Yes, judging from the current influence and financial resources of our Qingfeng Group, this is also the path we will take in the future. We cannot rely on any company in the later stage. Only by firmly grasping the initiative in our own hands can we be worry-free. Business partners are always based on interests, because the nature of business pursuits by merchants determines that this interest relationship cannot be long-term and stable, because human desires are always endless."

"Of course, although the Li family is rich and powerful, and can be on par with us in overall strength, I also see that Li Zekai is now focusing on our essential oil plan. Judging from the current situation, our profit distribution is basically above the level of 6:4. However, because our costs are much higher than them, in fact, the benefits they get from using our products are slightly higher than ours. I think this is not normal, but because Li Zekai is also guarding against me now, some of the adjustments I have made are relatively small, and it is not as obvious as possible. I think the process of taking the initiative may be a bit long, and it will take at least two to three years to achieve." Liu Yuanquan said suspiciously, looking at Ma Liu's face with some care, as if afraid that his answer would make Ma Liu unhappy, but he always maintained a more sincere answer, not exaggerating or hiding.

Ma Liu laughed and said, "Don't worry, since I can give you the Rose Essential Oil Plan, one is because I value your outstanding ability, and the other is absolutely safe for you. You have worked in the Fortune 500 companies in the world and have experience in these major projects. You can grasp the internationalization of products. Although the Rose Essential Oil Plan has gradually become one of the pillar industries of our Qingfeng Group, almost the same as the two major industries of real estate and medicine, there is still a little gap. Don't worry, I am a person who is patient and does not value short-term economic returns. Instead, I care more about long-term sustainable development. You can let go and discuss with Mr. Qin when you have something to do."

Liu Yuanquan was also relieved and smiled and said, "I feel much more at ease with Mr. Ma's words, but the situation is not as bad as Mr. Ma imagined. We have started to make profits at present, and the monthly turnover is about 2 billion yuan. Excluding costs, our costs basically remain at around 40%, that is, about 800 million yuan. In the later stage, I will gradually reduce costs. For example, advertising costs will gradually decrease, and there is no need to compete with similar products in today's current products. With the guarantee of reputation and quality, the price will naturally increase, so I am confident that in the second half of next year, the profit will be increased by two to three times."

"Okay, if you have anything to do at our headquarters, just talk. I will ask other departments to assist you, and the headquarters will give you the greatest support!" Ma Liu said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while and saw that the time was almost over. They left the company together and went to a nearby restaurant. At noon, Liu Yuanquan really paid the bill and the two drank wine.

All afternoon, Ma Liu was with Sister Mei. Sister Mei seemed to have never happened to what happened last night, without any change in expression. However, Ma Liu still saw it. Sister Mei didn't dare to look at him, and seemed a little shocked, but he could see that Sister Mei's complexion today was much better than yesterday, and she felt that everything was worth it.

Sister Mei is a good person. This is Ma Liu's evaluation of Sister Mei. He is very kind. He has always admired Sister Mei. In this world, there are women who are as generous, brave, kind and upright as Sister Mei, and are also big names in the entertainment industry. This is a miracle. So Ma Liu thinks that Sister Mei is also a strange woman. He doesn't want Sister Mei to be unhappy. Even if he didn't have much love for Sister Mei, after Fang Yusu reminded her, she did have the kind of feelings between the men and women she had with Sister Mei. But to be honest, this kind of love accounts for a part of the sympathy factor, but he thinks it is worth doing it, and he doesn't feel any guilt at all.

Fang Yulu didn't go to the company today. She just got injured her leg and probably was recuperating at home. It would take some time to come to work in the company. Since joining Qingfeng Entertainment, he has turned down many Hollywood film appointments and dedicatedly helping Maliu to support and lead a group of second-tier artists. He is also one of the pillars of Qingfeng Entertainment.

In the evening, Ma Liu wanted to take Sister Mei back with him, and said he wanted to go out for dinner. Unexpectedly, Sister Mei used the excuse to work overtime and rejected Ma Liu's proposal. Ma Liu was depressed, so Li Zekai called and asked to have a drink together at a bar tonight. Ma Liu could hear that Li Zekai's tone on the phone was a bit abnormal and seemed to be a little resentful. However, thinking about the rumors and Zhaosheng he saw about him and Sister Mei on the Internet today, he understood in his heart and agreed to meet Li Zekai very readily.

After leaving the company, Ma Liu suddenly felt a little lonely. He missed the women in Shanghai a little. He has been here in Hong Kong for more than a month. He has been with Fang Yulu and Alisa every day. He hasn't felt anything yet. Now Alisa has left, and Sister Mei is avoiding him. Fang Yulu seems to want to create an opportunity for him to be alone with Sister Mei, and he doesn't come to him, which makes him unable to adapt for the moment.

I found a small restaurant myself. As soon as Ma Liu entered, I frowned. There were so many customers in this small restaurant, with more than twenty, which filled the small shop with an area of ​​only more than 30 square meters. As soon as these more than twenty customers saw Ma Liu, they began to discuss it.

Ma Liu was very depressed. Obviously, this was caused by the news again. He really hated these media reporters now. Why do he always hope to pay attention to other people's privacy?

After finishing the meal soon, Ma Liu ignored others and his mouth was on others. If others wanted to discuss it, then let them do it.

After leaving the door, Ma Liu saw that it was almost seven o'clock, so he drove to the bar that Li Zekai mentioned. As soon as he arrived at the door, Ma Liu was stunned and actually met an old acquaintance here.
