Chapter 740 742. Grabbing Customers

Mingyuan walked in angrily with the account book in his hand, but before he reached the door, he was grabbed by Minghe.

"What's wrong with you? Who are you showing this displeasure to?" Ming He reached out and tapped her forehead, "Don't forget who you are."

"Sister Minghe, I'm so angry," Mingyuan stomped her feet, "You don't know that there is another restaurant opening diagonally opposite ours today. Isn't this a challenge to us? These people are so shameless. How can they do this?"

"You little girl, Madam has thought of this possibility before. If Dongcheng becomes bigger, isn't it all bought by us? Can we still prevent others from opening a business?" Ming He looked at her seriously.

"You have to calm down a bit. We are going out to represent the Madam's reputation. If you keep yelling like this, it will be embarrassing if outsiders see you."

Ming Yuan lowered her head and said with a wronged look on her face, "Sister Ming He, I know I was wrong.

It’s just that the restaurant across the street opened today, which has some impact on our business. I couldn’t help but…”

"You," Ming He was also angry, but what could he do? Just like what the lady said, could he just run over and beat him up?

When things like this cannot be avoided, all we can do is do the job at hand well.

"This new restaurant will have some activities when it opens, so it's normal to send some guests over." Jin Qianqian also talked about this with Lichun in the inner courtyard.

"Go back and tell your subordinates not to panic, do their own work well, make sure the dishes are fresh every day, and leave the rest to time." Jin Qianqian was very confident in the team she brought with her.

The indentures of these chefs and assistants were all in her hands, so she was not afraid of their betrayal at all.

She was naturally familiar with the history of the restaurant across the street. It was a well-established local family, and its children were also doing business. This time, they rented the store from Governor Liang.

"Madam, I have asked someone to try the food there. It is very different from ours. It is mainly based on the cuisine of Yi Province." Lichun was also a little nervous.

The locals definitely focus on local dishes, but Tianfu Restaurant mixes cuisines from all over the world, which is not an advantage.

Jin Qianqian, "Let's move at our own pace. Don't let the appearance of a restaurant throw you off balance.

People go to restaurants to eat, not only for banquets, but also to improve their daily lives. Local cuisines like these become less attractive over time.

Besides, business always has its ups and downs, can't you handle this little setback?"

Jin Qianqian knew that the opening of the new wine business would definitely have an impact, but the business just wasn't as good as usual in the past two days and the people below couldn't sit still.

"We are worried too," Lichun took over such a big business for the first time, and he became a little panicked when he saw the income of the past two days.

Now that he had received some comfort from Jin Qianqian, his originally restless heart had calmed down a lot.

"Ma'am, let's just ignore it for now?"

Jin Qianqian, "Not really, I asked the people below to make the taste of the food just right.

Just treat your guests as you did in the past and continue to be yourself as usual in the future."

Over here at the Tianle Restaurant, the shopkeeper was also talking about this matter with his boss.

"Boss, why is the Tianfu Restaurant across the street so quiet these days?" Manager Huang has been living in fear these days, fearing that someone might come over from the opposite side to mess up the place.

Wu Kun, "Isn't it good for the other side to be quiet? What? Do you still want our restaurant to have a fight with the other side?"

"I don't have such thoughts," Shopkeeper Huang quickly expressed his loyalty, "After all, our business has been booming these days, and I'm afraid the other party will get jealous."

If it were his own business, he wouldn't be able to endure it for a day if it was robbed like this.

So many days have passed, but the situation is still calm, which makes him a little confused.

Wu Kun, "Don't worry, these officials are very careful about their reputation.

Besides, there is no provision in the law that only allows them to open a restaurant and not allows us to open one as well.

Humph, these officials are really cunning, thinking that we can do nothing to them if we keep the East City land in their hands. But we just need to pay a little rent, and we can still get what we want to do."

When Wu Kun thought about how several aristocratic families were unable to get a piece of such a large piece of land in East City, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Now he can only rent a storefront here, and he believes that it won’t be long before these lands will belong to them.

The Gu family is not the only one that opens restaurants. Even if he is a high-ranking official, when he comes to this place, can he still fight against these aristocratic families that have been entrenched for hundreds of years?

"You should have someone keep a close eye on them later. If they make any move, we should report to the police immediately and make a big fuss." Wu Kun stared at the restaurant and inn opposite, his eyes red.

If such a large piece of land were in my hands, it would definitely have greater value.

Huang the shopkeeper said yes repeatedly, "It's just that they haven't made any move yet, so it's hard for us to move on."

The boss had come up with several ideas before, but so many days have passed. No matter how many ideas he had, they are all in vain when the other side does not respond.

"Then increase the firepower. Continue the opening promotion. Tell the employees to be smart and stand at the door to greet customers whenever they have nothing to do. Try to bring customers into the store."

Shopkeeper Huang understood what the boss meant. He was planning to blatantly snatch customers. "Will this be inappropriate?"

"Didn't you say before that the other party wouldn't fall for it? Then make it more obvious." Wu Kun didn't care. The customer just snatched it and waited to see the show.

Shopkeeper Huang: "If there is a conflict..."

"Don't worry, they don't dare..."

Jin Qianqian had just calmed Lichun down when Minghai came to her house again.

"Now they are blatantly pulling people at the door, pulling guests who were about to enter our restaurant to the other side."

Jin Qianqian knocked on the table, "In that case, you guys just do this..."

After hearing this, Minghai immediately understood what his master meant. He nodded and hurried away with his men.

Ming Shi said, "Madam, these people are really going too far. They are pushing their limits. Why don't we teach them a lesson and run to the opposite side to steal their customers?"

Jin Qianqian said with a smile, "It's so rude to treat guests like this, and it's really too ugly to pull and tug like this.

Now let's see how Minghai is doing. We have been here for such a long time, it is time to seek some benefits for the people of Yongchang County."

Ming Shi still didn't understand what the lady was up to, but she was a very obedient person.

Since the lady was able to sit still in the mansion, the matter was far less serious than they had thought, and she began to busy herself with the work at hand.
