After being disturbed by the Lu family, the construction and external publicity of Xiaolongwan Port were almost completely stopped, and some merchants who had signed the intention contract were completely gone.

In addition to the more than ten people who refunded the refund, more than a dozen other merchants are also paying close attention to the changes in the situation.

A few days later, three more merchants couldn't help but refund.

As a result, more than two-thirds of the first batch of investors withdrew, and the remaining merchants became more and more chaotic. Every day, people came to the construction site to discuss and inquire about the situation, hoping to change this situation as soon as possible.

As the number of refunds increased day by day, the mood of the entire construction site also fell into a trough. Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu, Ermazi and others were all as unconscious as ants on the hot pan, but they were just a group of rural bullies who had never seen the world and had never experienced such open and secret struggles in the official and shopping malls. They were at a loss for the current changes and could only ask Zhao Qi's opinions.

However, Zhao Qi always had a firm and casual attitude towards this matter, and only had two requirements.

Protect the construction site from being destroyed. Even if the yamen officials come, don’t be polite. Those who dare to arrest people will be beaten out with force.

All merchants who come to refund will not be blocked. Anyone who is willing to deduct 30% of the down payment will be refunded according to the contract. If they are unwilling to pay the penalty, they will not refund them. Those who are willing to sue will love wherever they go.

Under the two guidances of Zhao Qi, although the entire construction site was in a dull mood, it was not chaotic. Except for the group of troublemakers in Dawan Village who were clamoring every day, they injured several people from Ermazi's security team, all those who refunded the money were paid the liquidated damages.

"Dalang, I feel like I can't hold on!"

After running for several days, Manager Liu sat next to Zhao Qi in a haggard expression, and served a cup of hot tea until it was cold and had not yet taken a sip.

Zhao Qi was tasting tea with a calm expression, as if he didn't care about the predicament in front of him.

"Dalang, what are you saying? If you continue like this, our port business will be ruined!" Liu Zhanji put down the teacup and grabbed Zhao Qi's arm and said anxiously.

For seven or eight days, his mood was like a roller coaster, from great joy to great sorrow, which made him almost schizophrenia.

Zhao Qi has always been like a person who is fine since the beginning. Except for having a few patient conversations with investment customers in the first two days, he took Ermao Donggua and other groups of people back and forth in Yanggong Town and Xiaolongwan every day, and leisurely discussed the bus routes and platform settings in a carriage.

At present, the harbor construction site is already in panic, and almost everyone has no motivation to work.

Even the Liu family's leaders and clan elders reminded him to withdraw his investment.

The Liu family cannot afford the consequences of offending the Lu family.

However, Manager Liu still used his early income and huge future income as reasons to forcibly suppress the opposition within the clan.

But he felt that this suppression would not last long.

"Does Mr. Liu believe me?" Looking at the anxious expression of shopkeeper Liu, Zhao Qi turned his teacup indifferently and asked.

Manager Liu was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Dalang, if I don't believe you, how could I join in without hesitation? But what's the use of saying these things now? I believe it or not. What's important is the refund of investors and the pressure of our family. If this situation does not change in a few days, I'm afraid I can't stand it anymore!"

"Since Mr. Liu believed me before, then you believe me again. This matter will turn around soon!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"Turn, where is the turning point?" Manager Liu asked excitedly.

"I don't know where the turning point is, but the so-called good and bad luck depend on each other, and the worst comes. After these twists and turns in Xiaolongwan Harbor, there will inevitably be a brilliant future in the future!"

"Oh!" Hearing Zhao Qi say this, Storekeeper Liu's face turned into disappointment. After a long silence, he said, "Dalang, if you have any plans, just tell me it. Brother, I can't eat or sleep for several days and I have insomnia. If not, the Liu family will definitely ask to withdraw, and my brother will not be able to stop him then!"

"Mr. Liu, do you know how many contracted customers we have left?" Zhao Qi asked suddenly.

"Twelve, what?" Manager Liu asked in confusion.

"At the beginning, we began to plan how many merchants we would need to call in to build the ten wharfs and the first phase of the project?"

"Fifteen!" Manager Liu replied.

"Isn't that right? In fact, even in the current chaotic situation, our first-phase fundraising has reached its goal. The down payment of 30% of the twelve contracted customers and twenty-one withdrawn customers paid. The combined funds of these two items are nearly 250,000 jin. In addition, the 70,000 jin raised by you and I at the beginning, which means that our Xiaolongwan Port currently has more than 300,000 jin of sufficient funds, which is enough to support the completion of the first phase of the project. As long as we withstand the pressure and work hard to start construction, once the first phase of the project is completed, no one will question our ability then!"

Manager Liu was a little dazed in an instant, and he grew up and held the teacup with his mouth for a long time without saying anything. After a long time, he came back to his senses and said, "Dalang is right. I recently seemed to be overwhelmed by refunds and messy rumors, and I didn't think about the original plan carefully. From this point of view, our plan has been basically successful so far!"

"So, we must not panic now. There will be risks when doing business. The greater the profit, the greater the risk. How come the shopkeeper Liu has been working hard in the business world for many years? This principle should be clearer than that of me, a fledgling boy. To put it bluntly, our business is just to make a fortune. If the business is successful, it will be nearly a hundred times the investment returns in the future. Where can I make such a profitable transaction? Therefore, it is reasonable to bear huge risks during the construction process. In fact, we have the chaos now, or is it because the start is too smooth. Don't you think?"

After a long time of silence, Manager Liu nodded: "Yes, it's just that the start is too smooth. I thought I could raise more than 100,000 yuan, but I didn't expect that I got 500,000 yuan in just a few days. Not to mention me, even the people in our family were completely crazy. Many clan elders took out their private money they had accumulated to invest in and increase their shares, but I refused them all."

"Haha, misfortune depends on good fortune, good fortune depends on misfortune, anything will never go smoothly. After all, our foundation is too shallow. Xiaolongwan Port is not only a new harbor, but also a brand new business model. As long as we succeed, it will arouse countless imitators in the future. The success of Xiaolongwan Port will definitely arouse the jealousy and jealousy of many people. Even if I don't have a conflict with the Lu family, I estimate that soon after, with the rapid construction of the harbor and with more and more investors, this dozens or millions of dollars of money will come. The huge wealth will inevitably arouse the covetousness and dissatisfaction of some people. At that time, there will still be many troubles. So you see, I have been wandering around indifferently recently. The current dilemma is actually the earlier it comes, the better our future development will be!"
