Chapter 416 Let the Bad Guys Fight the Bad Guys
It's obvious who did this.
The city is just this big.
You are too small to be compared with Yuesheng. If you are of a decent size, it won't be difficult to find you no matter how well you hide.
What's more, Huang Ling has people stationed in every district, so she already knows which district has any major business developments.
This person is an acquaintance.
He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, named Xu Hongyi.
Before, Xu Hongyi had always wanted to cooperate with Yuesheng. At first, he wanted to contract the snack street next to Yuesheng. Later, he wanted to use Yuesheng's name to open branches in other districts. In short, he wanted to take advantage of Yuesheng's power, but Li Yiming refused.
Li Yiming knew Huang Ling very well. Their partners and leaders in important positions must be selected by her. If Huang Ling had taken a fancy to Xu Hongyi, they would have cooperated with him long ago and would not have waited until today. So he declined very tactfully.
In the past few months, Xu Hongyi has been preparing to build a large supermarket to compete with Yuesheng Department Store.
However, he was still a little afraid of Huang Ling and drove quite far away from them.
In the Yuesheng conference room, Huang Ling, Li Yiming and several heads of major departments held a meeting.
After all, everyone was young, and although they didn't show it, Huang Ling felt their worry.
Everyone was discussing it heatedly. Some suggested lowering the price, while others suggested causing trouble for them.
Huang Ling comforted everyone, "Slowly, there will be more than just him. Blindly lowering prices is meaningless. You don't have to worry about a short-term decline in performance. We are now seeking stability, and we will see how it goes while strengthening management and improving service."
Li Yiming nodded: "Department stores are regional in nature. Fortunately, they are not located nearby. We can stabilize our customers in the area, so it won't be a big problem."
Then, Huang Ling began to talk about her plan.
Cooperate with the food street to organize a New Year’s goods promotion festival at the end of the year and offer big sales for New Year’s goods.
The business of major factories and government agencies was completed in advance. In previous years, it would be completed one month before the New Year. Since there were basically no problems with the relationship there, there was no need to complete it in advance. This year, it was still done in advance just in case.
Then there is the improvement of service. Goods weighing above a certain weight can be delivered to the door within the specified range. We will work with the community to regularly deliver goods to the elderly and disabled, and provide the best discounts on prices.
In addition, there are a series of service measures such as on-site installation and debugging of electronic products, extension of free maintenance period, etc.
After he finished speaking, everyone calmed down and went to work.
Finally, only Huang Ling and Li Yiming were left in the room.
Huang Ling opened her notebook, and Li Yiming immediately opened his notebook to take notes.
"Yiming, they didn't tell me just now, it's good that you know about this. You don't have to worry about their department store at all, it won't last long." Huang Ling said firmly.
Li Yiming looked at Huang Ling doubtfully. Huang Ling pointed at the notebook and said:
"They are a partnership of eight people."
Li Yiming thought for a moment and replied, "There are so many people, so there will be trouble."
Huang Ling nodded: "If I were to collaborate with seven people on a project, it would only be possible if all seven of them were people like you or Director Lin.
If there are too many people, it will be difficult to reach a consensus, and the decision-making time will be prolonged, and many opportunities will be missed.
In addition, whether it's profit or loss, it's difficult to share it evenly when there are too many people. Even if there's an agreement, those who contribute more and take less will feel uncomfortable, and it's only a matter of time before resentment develops, so don't worry."
Li Yiming nodded.
Huang Ling mentioned a few names, and Li Yiming took over:
"These few people, if they can open a store together, I think it will take all of Xu Hongyi's energy."
Huang Ling smiled and nodded. "So, don't worry! Even if they really do better than us, we can learn from them."
"Yes, I think so too. There will always be people outside of you, and there will always be mountains outside of you." Li Yiming said firmly.
A few days later, Chu Wanghai returned to Suzhou.
He had his own ways and quickly figured out the ins and outs of the factory.
"This factory was specifically used to trap Yue Sheng. The goods didn't come from legitimate sources, and they certainly don't belong to them. They're still in the seller's warehouse. If you accept the goods, they might not be enough when they arrive. I'm afraid they'll report you before you even inspect them."
"Should I say it or not, he still has some brains." Huang Ling sneered.
Although a contract was signed and the quantity was stated in the contract, the actual amount was not that much. Most people would think that he deliberately said less in order to reduce his guilt. This matter alone would take a lot of time. With this time difference, he would have already dumped the goods to other places.
"Not only that, I see the fleet they found isn't carrying the amount of goods you ordered. I think they're not only trying to bring you down, they might even want to take over the seller's goods."
Chu Wanghai made a summary.
Huang Ling and Li Yiming looked at each other.
If something happened to Yue Sheng, the matter would definitely be investigated. They would not dare to say anything if Xu Hongyi swallowed up their goods during this time, because the greater the value of the goods, the greater the crime.
"Actually, I know that you have a formal contract. Even if the things are of unknown origin, nothing serious will happen." Chu Wanghai stopped talking about his guess.
"But we will lose money, the reputation we have been maintaining will be damaged, and the business will definitely be greatly affected," said Li Yiming.
Huang Ling continued, "These are just minor matters. Yiming, you'll probably have to endure some hardship in prison for a few days. This can be considered Xu Hongyi's revenge on you."
Chu Wanghai glanced at the two of them, and now he understood why so many people followed her wholeheartedly. Others cared about money and business, but she cared about people.
"Xiao Chu, given the current situation, what suggestions do you have?" Huang Ling asked Chu Wanghai.
Chu Wanghai opened his briefcase, took out a small notebook, and pushed it in front of Huang Ling:
"Pay the bill first."
"Didn't we say that if there's more, we'll refund, and if there's less, we won't
"Repair, replenish. Thank you very much, brother. I will replenish it for you personally." Li Yiming smiled and rummaged through the notebook.
Chu Wanghai pressed the notebook against his chest and pushed it towards Huang Ling.
"Boss Huang, this isn't travel expenses, it's business expenses. You'll have to pay for it, right? It's three hundred in total."
Huang Ling was about to die of laughter at his words, so she nodded: "Okay, Yiming, give it to him."
Yiming went to the finance office to withdraw three hundred yuan, put it in a brown paper bag and handed it to Chu Wanghai.
Chu Wanghai collected the money and said, "Thank you, Boss Huang, Boss Li."
"Tell me what you think." Huang Ling knew that everything had been done well by looking at his smug look.
"My opinion is to be a good comrade and not worry about anything. Let the bad guys deal with bad guys!" Chu Wanghai answered very seriously.
Li Yiming refused to pay the balance and accept the goods before the deadline, and bluntly said that he suspected there was a problem with the other party. The other party tried to defend himself, but Li Yiming said that regardless of whether there was a problem or not, in order to avoid trouble, he would not take the deposit and terminate the cooperation.
He also specially organized a meeting for the chamber of commerce members to raise everyone's vigilance and explain the law.
The matter was laid bare, and the other party disappeared without refunding the deposit.
Xu Hongyi was angry about the failure of the plan, but he felt relieved when he saw that Li Yiming didn't seem to doubt him and was even talking and laughing with him during the meeting.
However, a few days later, a stranger found him. The disappearance of the factory aroused the suspicion of the cargo owner. After investigation, he found out that it was Xu Hongyi's doing, and he inevitably suffered some hardships.
Since the eight people had invested money, they could not withdraw midway, so the department store was opened before the New Year.
They had no other skills and planned to carve out a niche for themselves with low prices. Unexpectedly, while Yue Sheng was fine, the large and small supermarkets in the same area were not happy about it and everyone took turns to make trouble.
With this incident, the department store was sure to be unable to continue operating. In order to recoup their investment, they started to resort to extremes, lowering the prices of goods just to sell them and recoup some of their investment.
Huang Ling called Song Ying and said, "Go buy some things that won't spoil for years. They're even cheaper than our Yuesheng."
