Without Zhang Yue's harassment, Li Weidong's life became much more comfortable.
But while his life was easy, some people's lives were not so easy.
Ji Dahai recently encountered a troublesome matter.
Although Li Weidong said when he joined the Kongfujia liquor franchise in northern Inner Mongolia that he only had the right to share in the profits and had no right to interfere, he was still involved in the business.
But in reality, once this wine became truly popular, not only were people in Hangzhou extremely busy, but the wine business in Mengbei County was also very busy.
Li Weidong was focused on Yimeng Mountain Villa, so he handed over the management of Kongfu Family Wine in Mengbei County to Ji Dahai.
Ji Dahai had long admired Li Weidong immensely, and now that Li Weidong was willing to give him management authority, he was even more dedicated and determined to do a good job so that Li Weidong would look at him with new eyes.
He even handed over his Wenhe Grand Hotel to his subordinates, allowing him to focus on managing the beverage business.
After all, although restaurants earn a lot, it's nothing compared to Kongfu Family Wine.
Ji Dahai is able to run the Wenhe Hotel so well, he must have some skills.
In just six months, dozens of liquor stores opened in Mengbei County, which he managed very well. They were just waiting to settle accounts at the end of the year and then ask Li Weidong for credit!
Unexpectedly, some trouble has recently arisen.
"What did you say? Another store has been vandalized?!"
Ji Dahai glared angrily at his men: "What are you guys doing here? You can't even keep an eye on a shop?"
The subordinate stammered, "Brother Hai, it's not that we can't keep an eye on them, it's just that they deliberately choose to come in the middle of the night!"
"Everyone's off work, who knew the shop would be vandalized?"
Ji Dahai slammed his hand on the table: "Why don't you call the police? Aren't there any security cameras?"
The subordinate said with a bitter face, "We reported it, and the police came, but the surveillance cameras have all been destroyed. We can't find anything out, and we don't know who did it."
Ji Dahai's face turned ashen.
This is the third shop to be vandalized this month. We don't know who did it, and we can't find out who did it. If this continues, we won't be able to do business at all!
He has more than a dozen stores, and the employees he hires are all ordinary people. It would be impossible for his own former brothers to keep so many stores.
Nobody knows which store will be the next to be vandalized.
Recently, the company has suffered a significant loss just from the smashed drinks, not to mention the cost of shop renovations.
Just then, another group of his men arrived.
"Brother Hai, something terrible has happened!"
The person who arrived was in a panic.
Ji Dahai said angrily, "You're the one who's not doing anything right! I'm sitting here perfectly fine, what's wrong with me?"
Then, impatiently, he asked, "What's wrong? Did another shop get vandalized?"
The person quickly explained, "It wasn't the shop that was vandalized, it was..."
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Our sales staff are all resigning, and even the agents are saying they don't want to renew their contracts when they expire."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the first person to arrive slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What a coincidence! Our store's sales staff are also resigning. I haven't asked the agents yet, but when I contacted them recently, they didn't seem to want to talk to me. Could it be that they also don't want to renew their contracts?"
Ji Dahai was stunned.
Although Kongfujia Liquor has a great reputation now, sales are still necessary, after all, it needs to run business with other agents.
As for agents, needless to say, without agents, he can't possibly find someone to sell the liquor to towns and villages, can he?
That would cost too much!
So now they're all going to back down?
"What exactly happened?!"
Ji Dahai's face darkened: "Have you asked them why?"
The visitor frowned deeply: "We asked, but they wouldn't say."
"That's strange..."
Ji Dahai unconsciously rubbed the chair with his hand, muttering to himself, "Could it be that they were threatened by those people who smashed the shop?"
"But who exactly are these people who smashed the shop?"
He used to be involved in organized crime, with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. Now that he's cleaned up his act, no one dares to cause trouble for him.
But now it is being provoked again and again.
Ji Dahai was seething with rage.
The subordinate tentatively suggested, "Brother Hai, how about... we talk to Brother Wei Dong about this?"
Ji Dahai immediately flew into a rage: "What are you discussing? Who is Brother Weidong?"
"A benefactor!"
"You know the important person, right?"
He got more and more excited as he spoke: "He has to manage thousands of farmers in the greenhouses, as well as distributors. He's very busy. How can he possibly take care of our small business here?"
The subordinate stammered, "Brother Hai... this isn't exactly a small business, is it...?"
After all, who doesn't know the famous Kongfu Family Wine?
They practically monopolized the liquor business in the entire northern Inner Mongolia region.
Even if it can't compare to Yimeng Group, it's still not a small business, right?
Ji Dahai retorted angrily, "Anyway, I said it's a small business, and it's a small business. Don't bother Brother Weidong with this. We'll figure out a solution ourselves!"
He had already planned it out in his mind; in business, it was all too common for people to cause trouble.
If I can't even solve this little problem myself and have to ask Li Weidong for help, what kind of person am I in Li Weidong's eyes?
What if Li Weidong thinks he's incompetent and decides not to take him on in future profitable business opportunities?
Ji Dahai made the final decision: "Investigate!"
"If the surveillance cameras in one area are broken, do they mean all of them are broken?"
"No matter how much effort it takes, we have to find the person who caused this trouble. We'll resolve this ourselves before we talk to Brother Weidong!"
I'll exaggerate the seriousness of the matter, then casually tell Brother Weidong that it's been resolved.
By then, my standing in the eyes of Brother Weidong will definitely rise significantly.
Are you still worried about not being able to keep up with the ways to make money in the future?
Ji Dahai felt increasingly pleased with himself and couldn't help but chuckle.
The two subordinates exchanged a glance, both completely bewildered.
But since the boss has said so, as the underling, I have no choice but to comply.
The two sighed and nodded in unison: "Understood, Brother Hai, don't worry, we'll go check it out right away."
Ji Dahai knew in his heart that this matter was simple to talk about, but if he really investigated, the other party was prepared and it would definitely not be so easy.
So he didn't sit idle. He immediately found more people to investigate and even made a special trip to the police station, determined to find out who was behind it all.
But to everyone's surprise, in the blink of an eye, most of his shops had been vandalized, yet he still couldn't find out who did it.
During this period, due to these troublemakers, the store's revenue dropped significantly when it was time to settle accounts at the end of the month.
Ji Dahai was both angry and anxious, and several blisters appeared on his lips.
Because Li Weidong was going to check the accounts at the end of the month.
"Brother Hai, what do we do?!"
His subordinate, his face ashen, said, "Brother Weidong is coming tomorrow, and if we pay this debt... we'll be finished!"
