Chapter 53: Breaking the Balance
Still sincere?
"Do we care about these eight hundred taels? How can we ask people to change the plaque?" Someone couldn't help but get angry.
However, they did not realize that his anger exposed their inner hesitation and lack of confidence.
So, soon one of the shopkeepers glared back at him.
Su Shengsheng seemed unaware of the subtle eye contact between them. She said calmly, "After all, as a chef trained in my shop, I have to be responsible for the customers. Besides..."
She paused deliberately, picked up the Sprite beside her, and shook it gently, "All the recipes here are included."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard that she was going to teach these people the recipe for the drink that attracted them every few days.
They couldn't help but think that now that the stalemate could no longer continue, they were in a dilemma whether to fight or retreat.
But if they get someone's skills and business but can't retain their guests, that's their problem.
In one year... no, just half a year, they would be able to learn all of her special skills.
When the time comes, just change the store name back.
What would they have to fear then?
At this moment, some people couldn't help but move.
Looking at these big shopkeepers with calculating faces, Qing Ning silently shed tears of sympathy.
I think those diners thought the same way...
Su Shengsheng knew they couldn't make a decision right now and would have to go back to discuss it, so she said, "The number of spots is limited, first come, first served. We sincerely invite allies to join us, and the deadline is the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Why is it the end of the Si hour? Is there any need to explain it?
Of course, it was because there were so many customers at night that even if no one joined, she could expand the store on her own.
In just a few words, she turned the situation around, and the shopkeepers put away their contempt.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Su Shengsheng ask leisurely, "I'm still a relatively new woman, so I'd like to ask you, the seniors, why has Pinglai Street always been so overshadowed by Changhua Street?"
Seeing everyone's faces suddenly change, Su Shengsheng stopped talking and bowed with a smile, "I believe you seniors already have the answer in your hearts. I am here to listen attentively."
Her words caused a huge shock to the shopkeepers.
They have been suppressed by Changhua Street and have been unable to get up. It is because whoever does good business will attract the envy of others.
This young lady really has a sharp vision!
Everyone was confused and couldn't refute her words for a moment.
If people were not united and unable to work together, how could they have ended up in a situation where they collectively attacked the rise of newcomers?
Bao Er, who watched the shopkeepers leave in despair, felt sad.
He had never seen Su Shengsheng's methods, but after hearing this conversation, Bao Er suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
Faced with the anger of so many shopkeepers, even he felt worried for the female shopkeeper.
But who would have thought that with just a few casual words, she could defeat many shopkeepers who wanted to eat her alive.
He originally thought that it would be a pity if the little girl was pushed away by others.
There are very few shopkeepers who are generous with money and do not bother with work. Besides, where else can he find such a good meal?
But I never expected that?
Their appetite is so big that they want to take away the jobs of the shopkeepers who have been stationed in this town for who knows how long.
Still limited to people?
He is braver than a tiger!
Bao Er silently lowered his proud head, and no longer dared to breathe heavily like a girl.
…
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets became bustling.
Qing Ning looked at the calm Su Shengsheng and asked impatiently, "Miss, are they really coming?"
Su Shengsheng said calmly, "If they don't come, even if they squeeze me out, their business will have no future."
Their spending power is limited, and if they are still busy fighting among themselves, they will only bring about their own destruction.
If they were really so stupid, then she would have to spend some money to change the street.
Qing Ning looked outside the door, worried.
In fact, those twenty or so shop owners were also anxious.
The deadline was approaching, and they were supposed to let Su Shengsheng choose whether to become an enemy of the entire street, but now she was the one challenging them.
They are in a dilemma and feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, Shixianglou welcomed its first shopkeeper.
It has to be said that the last sentence Su Shengsheng threw out shocked him so much that he couldn't sleep all night.
Looking back, Pinglai Street has never been able to compete with Changhua Street. It is indeed these self-righteous elders who rely on their so-called business methods to suppress their peers.
Tang Zheng had already put aside all his airs as an elder since he entered the store. He bowed to Su Shengsheng and said, "Shopkeeper Su."
Qing Ning felt much more at ease when she saw this.
"Please come in, Manager Tang." Su Shengsheng looked respectful and did not show any pride.
Tang Zheng saw it and sighed in his heart: I'm old now, it's time to listen to the voices of young people.
While the two were talking, ten more shopkeepers came in one after another.
The other shopkeepers who were still hesitant rushed over upon hearing the news.
But who would have thought that Su Shengsheng would only recruit ten people to join and then turned them away.
Seeing that several shopkeepers in Pinglai Street who could compete with them were all there, they all regretted it for a moment.
But someone was even more aggrieved than them: Manager Wan from the Sixth Bureau of the Fourth Department. "They refused to accept my offer because they came too late, so why did you refuse me even though I came early? Are you retaliating for what I said earlier?"
As a businessman, when it is profitable, who would want to end up hurting both parties?
If this woman hadn't been so cunning and hadn't come up with so many new tricks, how could he have just given up?
Su Shengsheng personally filled his drink. "Manager Wan is just a man of temperament, and he speaks bluntly. If I hold a grudge against him, how can I continue doing business in the long run?"
Wan Quan looked unconvinced, "Then why can't I join?" He was originally hesitant about whether to bow his head, but now he became competitive again.
Su Shengsheng raised his glass and said, "Manager Wan has no shop but has people, while Shixianglou has a shop but no one. Shouldn't they be merged?"
When Wan Quan heard this, he almost overturned the table, "You still want to replace me?"
Wow, women are the most vicious!
Su Shengsheng was amused by his quick words. "If I wanted to replace Manager Wan, would I have given you a heads-up?"
Wan Quan was now really confused by her constant barrage of attacks. He had no idea what she was going to do.
He simply asked directly: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Manager Wan's subordinates are all famous chefs who can go in and out of various mansions. They can easily prepare dishes from all over the world." Su Shengsheng praised.
Hearing her praising him like that, Wanquan was not proud at all, because he knew that there would be consequences.
Then Su Shengsheng said, "However, if you operate with the same model as us, you will be abandoning your advantages and taking the dregs while discarding the essence."
She said, absolutely no one knew what she meant.
But what else can he do?
If the shopkeepers on this street all became her allies, people would be able to eat meat and drink soup every day. He couldn't just work during festivals, right?
