Wei Yihong smiled coldly, "When Zuixiangju first opens a branch, the most important thing is to build a good reputation. The quality of the dishes must be high and the prices must be cheap. Chen's most famous dish is braised pork, right?"
"Excellent! I'll defeat him fairly using the methods of a merchant, leaving no one in town with any fault to speak of."
Gu Junshan asked in confusion, "I wonder what Boss Wei plans to do?"
Wei Yihong smiled faintly, "A-Guang, go to Manager Tao's hometown and buy the recipe for braised pork from him. As for the price, give him more silver, more is fine."
Gu Junshan scoffed. "Isn't this the same method he used with Manager Tao before, trying to steal someone else's recipe? What's with the pretense of being a gentleman?"
Wei Guang asked in confusion, "Master, give me more silver?"
Wei Yihong chuckled, "Ah Guang, spread the word that Manager Tao bundled the braised pork dish with the restaurant and sold it to us. Manager Tao is greedy and shameless, trying to dump this mess on us by using the recipe."
We are the victims. We bought the recipe at a high price, but in the end, we had no choice but to sell the same dishes as Baiweilou. It was a desperate measure, just to recoup costs as quickly as possible.
Gu Junshan's brow twitched; indeed, cunning.
It's normal for Zuixiangju to portray itself as a victim, then sell braised pork, compete with Baiweilou for customers, and even bankrupt the Chen family's business. After all, Zuixiangju also needs to quickly recover the large sum of money spent on acquiring the restaurant.
Strike at the Chen family, and incidentally, strike at Baiweilou as well.
That makes perfect sense.
Gu Junshan chuckled, "I admire you."
Wei Yihong gave him a meaningful smile.
"Boss Gu, just watch the show for now. If I lose, I'll have to rely on you for everything."
Gu Junshan nodded, "Brother Wei is indeed thoughtful and experienced. If nothing unexpected happens, crushing the Chen family with Brother Wei's methods, and even taking down Baiweilou in the process, will be no difficult task at all. I... got the better deal, haha..."
The two exchanged knowing smiles at the change in how they addressed each other.
Wei Yihong shook his head, "Not necessarily. That Chen family man is just a farmer. He was able to defeat Manager Tao, who has been in the business world for many years. He must be a man of extraordinary mind. Brother Gu... is a backup plan for both of our families!"
"Hehe, I don't want any of those dark plans. If... I mean, if we copied the methods Baiweilou used to deal with Manager Tao, wouldn't that be more interesting?"
