However, just a few moments ago, he didn't know who this guy was and actually wanted to compete against this master. He was certainly out of his depth.
Roomis stood frozen with fear when he thought of this. He immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to Fade repeatedly and apologized, "Master Chen, I have done wrong. I didn't know that it was you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."
Although Bobbie still didn't understand Fade's identity and strength, he did not dare to say anything more when he saw Sawyer and Roomis bowing down to Fade. He knelt on the ground straightaway and kowtowed to Fade, begging for mercy as well.
Fade was quietly watching the three of them. After moments of silence, he said, "I can spare your life but you can't escape punishment."
Stunned, the three of them looked at Fade and said, "Master Chen, thank you very much. We will accept it."
Fade's gaze first landed on Bobbie and said lightly, "Let's talk about things one by one. My friend is working at your factory. Can you pay her wages now?"
While speaking, he led Yankee out.
Bobbie was stunned but nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll pay her right away."
He immediately fished out a thick stack of three or four thousand yuan cash and gave all of them to Yankee. "Yankee, please take all this money."
Stunned for a moment, Yankee then took out 900 yuan from the stack of cash and returned the rest of the money to Bobbie.
"Yankee, these are all for you. Consider these as my compensation," Bobbie said with a smile.
Yankee shook her head and responded adamantly, "I'll only take what I deserved."
Hearing that, Bobbie put the money away as his face grew gloomy.
After that, Fade continued, "Now, the two of you, tell me what the hell is going on in this factory right now!"
The two men's faces changed. They did not dare to keep silent and could only confess all their doings to Fade in full detail.
The entire thing was actually very simple. It started when Fei's Life Elixir Wine grew extremely popular in Capital City and there was actually not enough supply to meet the demand. However, production capacity in Dragonville was limited so it was impossible for them to supply more products to Capital City.
As a result, the price of Fei's Life Elixir Wine had been increasing steadily in the super affluent social circle at Capital City. Where the retail price starts at 5,000 yuan per bottle, there would still be buyers even when the price was inflated to 50,000 yuan.
With a temptation to earn a huge profit and taking into account a huge undersupply situation gave Roomis, who was working in the branch, a sly idea. He colluded with his nephew, Bobbie, and privately set up a small factory like this to produce counterfeit Fei's Life Elixir Wine.
Using Roomis's connections, the counterfeit products were mixed with the genuine products and supplied to the market. He would even contact the customers directly and sell the counterfeit products to them in private transactions.
Being counterfeit Fei's Life Elixir Wine, they did not taste as good nor work as well as the genuine ones. However, since there were many people who had never drank Fei's Life Elixir Wine before, the demand for the product was very high. That was also why their sales were very good.
Furthermore, the affluent who could afford to buy the Fei's Life Elixir Wine would simply discard the counterfeit products and would not pursue legal actions against the makers.
This had given the two of them an even better chance to expand their scale of production.
Due to the rapid expansion, they had encountered a shortage of workers. Therefore, they had offered a high salary which was what attracted Yankee to work there in the first place.
After hearing this, Fade looked at the two of them coldly and said in a deep voice, "Roomis, I'm immediately dismissing you from the branch manager's position in the company. Besides that, you also have to personally provide an explanation to the media about the counterfeit fraud, turn yourself in to the police and hand over all the fraud money."
"Er..." The two men found themselves in a bit of a dilemma as their faces sank.
