Suppressing competitors through PR, capturing market share, cutting off their funding, and waging price wars are commonplace business tactics that Huo Zilong couldn't be bothered to use. Instead, he chose the most straightforward and crudest method: eliminate the enemy and forcibly take over their assets—a tactic often played by those in the Jianghu.
This way of making money was really too fast and too easy, so Huo Zilong liked it very much. Over the years, he had amassed a considerable fortune with this tactic. Now, Huo Zilong had taken it to the extreme, choosing to deal with his competitors in this manner at his own birthday party.
You should know that at one's own birthday party, even if there is immense hatred, restraint is maintained because it's a day of celebration, not to be marred with the sight of blood. That's why those Jianghu bosses dared to come. Unfortunately, they hadn't anticipated that Huo Zilong would go to such deranged lengths.
