Chapter 420: Ruthless
Du Shaojie remembered Pang Weidong's favor and changed the subject.
He was not surprised that the copycat store encountered trouble. The other party originally used cheap ingredients. If they were not careful, they might buy problematic raw materials. This was the consequence of extreme cost compression.
Of course, this incident was not enough to defeat the copycat store. Didn't Pang Weidong say that there were people behind them?
The three of them then talked about the development of KTV. Today, [Yuedong Entertainment] has extended its tentacles to most provincial capitals and economically developed cities.
Business is getting more and more popular, but correspondingly, there are also many troubles.
Fortunately, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo's partnership is perfect. The two of them work together and basically any difficulties can be solved quickly.
"Ajie, just wait to count the money."
Pang Weidong couldn't help but beaming with joy when talking about this.
He even gave up the leadership of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot], wasn't it just to concentrate on the KTV project? This project did not disappoint him. The benefits were much better than the karaoke bar back then, and a large amount of cash came in every day.
His pride was written all over his face.
"Okay, then I'll just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor."
Du Shaojie smiled and bowed to the two of them, causing Pang Weidong to burst into laughter.
Then, he stood up and said goodbye. He finally found Ye Weiming and Dong Yushu, greeted them and went home.
To be honest, he didn't like this kind of welcoming and seeing off, it was really tiring.
The resort has been at its peak since the day it opened. It is almost full every day, and villas need to be booked in advance to rent.
Du Shaojie went there a few times later. He didn't have many business receptions. If it was a gathering among friends, he would rather go to the fish restaurant. The fish restaurant is not so noisy, and people like Lin Zhiyuan, Jiao Hongtao and Huang Yong would never go to the resort.
The resort is too famous, and they are not suitable to appear in such occasions.
But there is no doubt that Du Shaojie's investment has been a great success again.
Cai Jing was also secretly happy. After the resort project was landed, she continued to promote the construction of the high-end villa area. The villa area is not far from the resort, and the reputation of the villa area is getting bigger and bigger.
The two projects that Cai Jing insisted on in the past two years, the high-end villa area project in Yangcheng and the Xiangmi Lake villa project in Shenzhen, have entered the harvest stage and started formal sales.
Du Shaojie bought a villa in Yangcheng and Shenzhen respectively. The villa in Yangcheng is under his own name, and the villa in Shenzhen was given to Liang Meiqin.
Liang Meiqin originally had a house in Shenzhen, but that house will be given to her parents in the future.
"Mr. Du, you are still in the same style as before and like real estate."
Cai Jing asked Du Shaojie to choose by himself. There was no special discount on the price, but he gave him a fine decoration and furniture and appliances for the whole house.
"There is no way. After so many years, I am still a local rich man."
Du Shaojie didn't care about Cai Jing's ridicule. He even thought that there was nothing wrong with being a local rich man, and he laughed at himself.
Cai Jing accompanied Du Shaojie to sign the purchase contract at the sales office in Yangcheng, and then the two went to Shenzhen together.
Next, Du Shaojie stayed in the headquarters building and brewed a counterattack with Meng Gang and others.
Not long after, the case that Pang Weidong mentioned came to a conclusion. The copycat store was fined a huge amount of money for purchasing food that did not meet the hygiene standards in bulk.
In addition, two parties were arrested.
The copycat store was dissatisfied and filed an appeal.
In fact, it was the power behind Li Changsong and others who took action. The arrested people were quickly released, the fine was reduced by half, and the appeal was successful. It was indeed as Pang Weidong said, it would not cause them any serious damage.
But no one expected that a reporter followed the case throughout the whole process, and after the result of the appeal came out, the reporter issued a series of reports.
"Food safety" has attracted widespread attention, and the copycat store was pushed to the forefront for a while. In those days, information dissemination was still mainly based on paper media and television media. Once the report was issued, it was issued, and there was no possibility of deletion.
When Li Changsong and others knew about this, the cucumber dish was cold.
"You rubbish, the reporter followed for so long, and you didn't notice it at all? Now it's good, the matter has become a big deal, and even I have suffered."
The person behind the scenes scolded Li Changsong and others, and then hurriedly dealt with the questions from all sides.
Some people took the blame for the complaint, and some were punished. The first opinion was still maintained for the handling of the copycat store. Li Changsong and others did not dare to jump around. After paying the fines, the two directly responsible persons were quickly sentenced.
They were very angry and suspected that Du Shaojie was behind it, but there was no evidence.
The young reporter turned into a hero, but he did not get promoted. Not long after, he was sent to Hong Kong and became a reporter stationed in Hong Kong.
After this blow, the copycat store's reputation was really bad.
Using unqualified ingredients, how many people would go to the store to eat even if the price was cheap? From then on, the copycat store's business plummeted and could barely maintain.
Seeing the other party's building collapsed, Du Shaojie couldn't help but feel relieved.
In the morning,
Du Shaojie brought Wang Yongli, Zou Xiaohe and Peng Yongjun to a teahouse.
In the private room, he met Wang Linqiu, a former executive of the Shanzhai store. Wang Linqiu was in his thirties, wearing a pair of myopic glasses, and looked gentle and refined.
Recently, due to the sharp drop in the business of the Shanzhai store, the company laid off employees and laid him off.
"Boss Du, I have nothing now. I wonder if your original promise still counts?"
"Wang Linqiu, I always keep my word. You don't have to think too much. You did a good job this time. Thanks to the information you provided, the reporter friends were able to report the matter in depth.
Tsk tsk, Li Changsong and his gang are really crazy. In order to reduce costs, they do everything they can. You go back and pack up, and go to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. Work in the store there for a while, and wait until the storm is over."
Wang Linqiu took the initiative to find Du Shaojie through Luo Santong. He realized that the Shanzhai store was going to capsize, and he should have made plans earlier.
Moreover, he had never been trusted by Li Changsong and others. He knew that he would be kicked out soon, so he made up his mind and went to Du Shaojie directly.
Du Shaojie gave him a task, and now it seems that this task has been completed very well.
"Okay, Mr. Du, I am willing to follow the arrangement."
Wang Linqiu was afraid that Li Changsong and others would know the truth, and he wanted to go out and hide.
Du Shaojie arranged for him to work with Feng Bin at the Xiangjiang store of [Xichuan Restaurant]. He planned to let the other party stay in Xiangjiang in the future. If he was capable enough, he would let him be the manager of the Xiangjiang store.
Feng Bin should also be transferred back.
After Wang Linqiu arrived in Xiangjiang, Du Shaojie asked Xu Youlian to accompany Liang Meiqin to give him 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
This time, Wang Linqiu played a very important role in exposing the inside story of the copycat store. Du Shaojie would not treat those who had made contributions unfairly, nor would he worry about using a "traitor". He had plenty of ways to control the other party.
Wang Linqiu was the executor of the copycat store team, and his execution ability was very strong. Unfortunately, Li Changsong and others did not treat him well. It was not for anything else, but because his ability was too strong, which made these people feel afraid.
Du Shaojie would not be like this. As long as he could show his value, he would definitely get a position that suits him. Two
days later, Du Shaojie himself arrived in Hong Kong.
Wang Yongli went to meet with a certain reporter and gave him a sum of money to let him work here for two years.
After the beginning and the end of the matter were handled, Du Shaojie was at ease with Liang Meiqin for a while. It was not until Ye Weiming called to protest that he returned to Guangzhou.
After the resort opened, Du Shaojie basically did not care about the business affairs. That would be fine, he did not even show his face. According to Mr. Ye, you should arrange a few business activities here.
"I'm sorry, I have been targeted by villains all the time, and I only have a little free time recently."
Du Shaojie met Ye Weiming and Dong Yushu at the resort, and bowed to them repeatedly when they met.
Ye Weiming was unmoved, and he did not believe what the other party said at all.
Dong Yushu quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Boss Ye, Boss Du is really busy, but fortunately the villain got his comeuppance, so he can rest assured, right? Boss Du, although our business is booming, you have to have an attitude, right?"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. So, I'll treat you tonight, and we'll get together at the resort, eat, drink and have fun, and no one should save money for me."
"Go away, you're making a fuss. I'm too lazy to talk to you, let's go, let's go eat."
Ye Weiming was amused by the anger, he glared at Du Shaojie, and then the three of them went to eat buffet together. Not to mention, although the price of the buffet is a little expensive, the food variety is very rich, and there are many cute small seafood.
If you are a big eater, you will never lose money to eat buffet.
"Boss Du, you are distracted by a group of villains all day long, do you want us to help you?"
The three of them ate their food slowly, and Dong Yushu suddenly said.
I dare not say about other places, but in Guangdong Province, he and Ye Weiming can still help Du Shaojie to wipe out the opponents.
The reason why they did not make a move is because Du Shaojie can also achieve the same effect.
But the problem is that the other party has been slow to make a move, which makes them feel incredible.
"I don't want to use other means for the time being. What's the saying? It's lonely at the top. My [Xichuan Restaurant] has almost no opponents. Now a [Sichuan Restaurant] has jumped out. It's like a whetstone for them. It would be a pity to kill it all at once."
Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head. The copycat store is already half-crippled, and [Northwest Noodle House] is now in its heyday. He doesn't have to worry about it at all
. As for the [Sichuan Restaurant] run by Li Changsong and others, it's just that, and it's difficult to make it bigger and stronger.
But he used this incident to force the various stores to prevent them from becoming slack. With opponents, they will naturally regroup.
The domestic catering market is so large that no one can dominate the world.
