The rooftop of Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce Specialty Store.
"Brother-in-law, do we not need to go buy it?"
After patiently reading through the opening details of the Liu family's shop, Lin Chao breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems their business isn't doing well, so it's impossible for them to steal our business."
"Let's go and support their business!"
Wang Qian said, "Although they had a bad start, they still have a chance to turn things around if they can improve the flavor next time."
"Okay, I'll go buy a bottle now."
Lin Chao nodded and prepared to go downstairs.
"etc!"
Wang Qian shouted, "Just find someone to buy it; you don't need to go yourself."
Why?
Lin Chao was puzzled. "If I go to buy it, do you think they won't sell it to me?"
“You are now the owner of the first specialty store of our Niangui roasted green pepper sauce. Going to buy it in person is a way of supporting them. If customers see you, they might buy it from you as well.”
"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?"
Lin Chao slapped his forehead. "Okay, then I'll find someone nobody knows to buy a bottle."
"Okay, go ahead!"
...
Soon after, a bottle of counterfeit roasted green pepper sauce was placed in front of Wang Qian.
"No wonder their business is so bad. This stuff smells like shit, and they still want to sell it for two dollars a bottle?"
After taking a bite, Lin Chao laughed gleefully.
Wang Qian also took a bite.
It tastes weird, and it's really hard to eat.
It's the same roasted green pepper sauce, but the taste is worlds apart from the one his wife, Lin Xiaoyu, makes.
Lin Xiaoyu's roasted green pepper sauce is spicy and refreshing, making you want to keep eating it, almost like it's addictive.
However, the roasted green pepper sauce that the Liu family imitated looked the same in color, but the taste was extremely greasy and had a strange, rotten smell.
He seriously doubted whether he would get diarrhea after eating it.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you say before that there were countermeasures?"
Lin Chao asked, "Now that they've opened for business, shouldn't we retaliate?"
"Not for now!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "They have more than one store. We'll decide what to do once they're all open."
He does have a means of retaliation, but he must only use them when necessary.
Otherwise, revealing it too early will only give the other side an opportunity to exploit the loopholes.
The Liu family's failed business opening this time is just the beginning.
Besides this store, many other shops in the surrounding area have been rented by the other party, and they are all using different store names.
If just one of their stores does well, it can pose a threat to them.
Therefore, if you don't make a move, you don't need to; but if you do, you must strike decisively and not give your opponent a chance to breathe.
"Brother-in-law, we're going to start selling again tomorrow. How's everything at home?"
Lin Chao asked, "We only have three hundred bottles left. If we can't pickle any more, we'll be left with nothing."
"It'll be soon!"
Wang Qian said, "I hired people to pickle the food at home a few days ago. At most, the amount of pickled food produced by the day after tomorrow should be enough to meet our daily sales."
"That's good!"
Lin Chao smiled with relief, "Also, I've found a shop I like on the busiest Jinghao Street, but the rent is too expensive. I was wondering if you'd like to rent it?"
"Jinghao Street?"
Wang Qian raised an eyebrow and pressed, "Which location exactly? How much is the rent?"
Jinghao Street is the most bustling street in Nanming County.
The buildings there were newly constructed, high-rise buildings, and numerous shops.
With the added support of policies, the business center was moved there, and now it's extremely bustling.
However, the rent for the store is also extremely expensive.
It often costs two or three thousand a year.
Such high rents are unaffordable for ordinary vendors unless the product is extremely profitable or has a very booming business.
"The shop I'm interested in costs 2,800 yuan a year in rent."
Lin Chao smiled wryly and said, "After asking the landlord, I didn't dare to bargain and just left. But the location of that shop is indeed quite good, so I wanted to ask for your opinion first, brother-in-law."
"Two thousand eight hundred a year?"
Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, then urged, "Come on, take me to see it."
"good!"
Lin Chao nodded, closed the door, and took Wang Qian to Jinghao Street.
This street is indeed bustling, with people coming and going, and it's very lively.
"Brother-in-law, this is the shop!"
Arriving at a shop with a "Shop for Rent" sign, Lin Chao said to Wang Qian, "This street has a lot of foot traffic, and this shop is located at an intersection, so it's quite conspicuous and passersby will easily remember the name."
"It's really good!"
Wang Qian nodded in deep agreement.
The location of the shop that Lin Chao had his eye on was indeed very advantageous.
However, the annual rent of 2,800 yuan is indeed a bit expensive.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you talk to the landlord and talk to him yourself? Maybe you can get the rent down a bit," Lin Chao suggested.
"Hey, isn't this Wang Qian?"
Before Wang Qian could answer Lin Chao's question, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
Looking up, Wang Qian was somewhat surprised.
"Shen Chong, it's you!"
He walked over with a smile.
The person speaking to him was a young man, tall and upright, with a sharp, angular face that exuded masculinity.
It was his high school classmate, Shen Chong.
Shen Chong was dressed in jeans and sported the most fashionable middle-part hairstyle at the time. Whenever a woman passed by, she would turn around and glance at him a few more times.
