Chapter 52: Group Attack
I have to say that everyone is very good at calculating this.
Although we have to spend two taels of money on food every month, there are six people in the family, and we are provided with enough food and wine.
With such treatment, it’s like celebrating Chinese New Year every day.
They have the energy to work, don't they?
But there are people who can calculate it better than them.
Shixianglou
On this day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, we welcomed many unexpected guests.
They didn't come here to eat, but to demand an explanation.
Originally, seeing that the shopkeepers were women and hearing that they came from the imperial capital, they were still waiting and watching.
Who would have thought that upon inquiry, she was of no ordinary origin, being the granddaughter of the imperial teacher.
But as soon as they arrived, they acted like they knew everything, which was very intimidating.
They hired a gangster to guard the store and also hired a martial arts master.
They had originally thought of allowing the owner of this house to be arrogant for a few days.
Who would have thought that he would be so arrogant as to set his sights on making money for a year.
They have already lost half of their business. If the other half is taken away, how will they survive?
Therefore, even if Su Shengsheng welcomed the shopkeepers to the private room with a smile on her face, it would be difficult for them to show a good face.
Bao Er finally found a place where he could show his skills. He stood at the door with a domineering look on his face, staring at the uninvited people in the house.
Of course, in front of outsiders, he still gave face to the female shopkeeper and did not treat her as an equal.
After Qing filled the Sprite glasses for the shopkeepers, Su Shengsheng raised his cup and said with a smile, "It's dry weather, everyone, please drink as much as you can to cool down your temper."
!!!
Listen, you know they have fire? And you're still laughing?!
Someone couldn't help but start, "Boss Su may be quite influential and has made some contributions to the Tianqian Pass, but if he cuts off the financial resources of so many brothers, isn't that really too much?"
After all, Su Shengsheng had just arrived here, and they hadn't figured out her background yet. However, they heard that even the young master of the Duke's Mansion was her disciple, so they were a little undecided for a while.
Su Shengsheng raised the cup and gestured around, but seeing no one paying attention, she had to take a sip herself.
Several gray-haired shopkeepers were very dissatisfied when they saw her behavior.
"You ignorant youngster, even if you have some tricks up your sleeve, it's better not to make enemies with others!"
"Business is all about ability." Su Shengsheng smiled and put down his cup. "If you're scared by a few words, how can you make money?"
The oldest among them stood up and said, "Don't think that just because you have the Duke's Mansion as your backing, you can ignore everyone else. You must know that there are always people better than you."
Anyone who can do business in this cannibalistic border area is not made of clay.
Su Shengsheng chuckled, "Boss, why don't you think about how to keep customers in your restaurant? Instead, you only think about taking food from other people's bowls. How can that be right?"
Zai Qing, who was pouring drinks at the side, felt ashamed when he heard this.
Isn’t this the result the lady wants?
Why are we inviting these giant Buddhas here now and still adding fuel to the fire?
Didn’t you see that someone’s nose was crooked because of anger?
However, if it were him, he would also be angry.
The lady's slow pace is really irritating.
The one whose nose was crooked with anger actually stood up.
He is the manager of the Fourth Department and Sixth Bureau. Although they are privately owned, ordinary restaurants cannot shake them.
But who would have known that this young lady who appeared out of nowhere would give everyone a warning right from the start.
The meals she offered were different twice a day, with a wide variety of options, like a buffet, and half the town would come to have a meal.
She makes both small and big money!
Now you want to take over half of the Tianqian Pass?
Isn't she afraid of breaking her front teeth if she swallows it whole?!
At that moment, his nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face. He started to bark, "Does the King of Hell even take a nap? You are a big ghost and a small ghost who wants to kill you all!"
Su Shengsheng, who was being glared at by everyone, still smiled brightly. "Why does the shopkeeper have to be so harsh? If there's money, we can all share it!"
Still sending it together?
If they really let this woman take a break during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they would be left with nothing!
Who can compete with her?
Those who don’t have money to eat in a restaurant still don’t have money, and those who have status should go to Changhua Street. The rest are neither good nor bad, and she still wants to buy it all?
The guy was so angry that his nose almost fell off.
Originally, no matter how prosperous the restaurant was, it would definitely not affect their business.
They are different from restaurants. In restaurants, customers come to eat, but they help in the kitchen.
They go to birthday parties, weddings, and other big occasions.
But ever since this Shixianglou started celebrating Chinese New Year every day with different meals every day, their business has plummeted.
If she really becomes too powerful, half of the people on this street will have to close their shops.
Before coming, they also thought about cutting off the source of the problem.
But who would have thought that when they took the money and went to greet butchers and vegetable shops everywhere, she had actually paid a two-year deposit in advance.
Two years!
Even if they drive this person away by then, the daylily will be cold.
When they thought about how they had been tricked by a woman, all the shopkeepers showed expressions of regret.
The man gritted his teeth. "Don't think we can do anything to you. The worst that can happen is we'll both lose." Su Shengsheng looked up at him. "Is it worth it to compete with low prices?"
After hearing her see through their thoughts, everyone's expression became serious.
If we really get serious about it, the outcome will not be better than it is now.
Businessmen are all looking for profits. If they really have to confront each other head-on, not only will their life's hard work be wasted, but they will also find it hard to swallow the humiliation.
Because even if they defeated Su Shengsheng, they would be powerless to turn the tide.
Customers are used to low-priced meals, so it’s impossible for them to raise prices again.
But if I really want to change my career, it would be too cowardly to be forced to lose face by a little woman.
Seeing that everyone was silent and no one was saying anything harsh, Su Shengsheng stood up.
"I have a business deal and I sincerely invite all the shopkeepers to participate. Would you be honored to do so?"
When the shopkeepers of the private rooms heard this, their faces darkened at the same time.
She just thought she was about to win and was giving them a thumbs up!
Su Shengsheng didn't mind their cold faces. "I'm just a girl, and I only have two hands. If half the city's people support me, I can open more stores, and then..."
Seeing the sullen faces of the shopkeepers, she stopped talking and said, "How about we all join forces? I'll only charge a small franchise fee, and I'll also provide training and customer placement. How about that?"
“What is the franchise fee?”
"Guaranteed customer allocation?"
When the shopkeepers with grim expressions heard this, they all looked up at her.
Su Shengsheng nodded. "As long as there's a shopkeeper willing to join and change the shop sign to Shixianglou Branch No. 1 or Branch No. 2, I can train your kitchen staff for free. I only charge a one-time franchise fee of 888 taels, and I guarantee you'll have customers every month."
Everyone's expression changed again and again.
Being forced into such a situation by a little girl is embarrassing enough, but I didn't expect her to ask them to change their storefront?
This is really too much!
The shopkeepers were really angry this time, and it seemed like their noses were spewing fire.
"I can earn four hundred taels a month. I don't charge much for it. It's just a token of my sincerity."
