Luca indeed did not want to continue working in Lawrence's family business, dealing with agricultural products day in and day out; over time, his body either smelled like cow dung or carried a fishy odor of soil.
He wanted to do something different, to escape those annoying family affairs.
Lance offered him a new option, which he gladly accepted.
After that, he took Lance's money to register a shell company and submitted a trading application to Liji Group.
The entire process was reasonable, compliant, and legal, whether it was the company registration or spending money to buy Liji Group's products, all of which were in line with federal laws.
As for the "delivery date" mentioned in the contract and the "high penalty fee for failure to deliver after the date," they were also within the scope of contract law; you could choose not to sign, but you'd surely miss the profit from this business deal.
