Feng Haidong readily sold the crayfish to Duan Jian and Li Shitong, leaving the others in the restaurant somewhat puzzled.
However, Liang Cong quickly came out and said, "Don't be surprised, Brother Haidong did this to clear out the inventory, because the crayfish season is almost over."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Xiao Liang really understands me. I really am trying to reduce inventory."
Then, Feng Haidong looked around the restaurant and saw that everyone present was one of his own. He simply stated his plan directly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the boss that Duan Jian is working with today suffered a loss. When he gets back tomorrow, he will definitely try to cut off my supply channels in the countryside and try to buy crayfish from there to steal my business."
Feng Baoan walked in from the backyard and said, "Haidong, you can rest assured. If they try to buy it, we definitely won't let them succeed. The villagers will only send it to me."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "No, Uncle Bao'an, after you go back, if you encounter someone offering a high price to buy crayfish tomorrow, just sell them to them. You only need to guarantee a portion of my supply every day, and give them the rest if they want it. You can even give them the better quality ones."
Feng Baoan looked completely bewildered when he heard this: "Why?"
The other people in the restaurant were equally confused; they didn't understand what Feng Haidong was trying to do.
Liang Cong said, "As I just said, the crayfish season is almost here. It's already September. By the end of September, the quality of crayfish will start to decline, and even the number of crayfish that can be caught will decrease. Hai Dong is doing this to clear out the inventory and gradually stop selling crayfish."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Xiao Liang is right. Why did I ask Xiao Liang and Uncle Bao'an to bring those fish today? Why am I going to start making grilled fish tonight? It's to update our menu and gradually replace the crayfish."
After listening to Liang Cong and Feng Haidong's words, everyone present seemed to understand immediately.
Feng Haidong's move was undeniably ruthless.
On one hand, he was planning to change the menu, intending to replace the out-of-season crayfish with grilled fish.
At the same time, Feng Haidong was worried that if Meng Yixia didn't want so many crayfish, it might affect the income of the villagers who had been catching crayfish for him.
Just then, a sucker appeared out of nowhere.
Feng Haidong simply gave all the extra crayfish to the other party.
In this way, Feng Haidong can smoothly change the dishes.
They changed their focus from crayfish to grilled fish.
And once crabs come to market, Feng Haidong can add crabs to the menu, thus completely replacing the crayfish that were on strike.
By the time Duan Jian and his team realize the problem, it will take some time before their restaurant can change its menu.
When Feng Haidong saw that Li Shitong had arrived by car, he realized that the other party must have some capital and wealth.
Since the other party has capital and resources, and is aiming to compete head-on with us.
Feng Haidong was naturally not going to let his opponent have an easy time, so he had to strike hard first. Only by letting his opponent feel the pain would they realize that Feng Haidong was not someone to be trifled with.
Everyone understood Feng Haidong's intention, and Song Rui couldn't help but exclaim, "That was awesome! It was really awesome! Brother Feng, you're amazing!"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "This is nothing special. It's just a small trick. And didn't you see that they drove here? Obviously, they must have a lot of money. This little bit of money can't hurt them."
Chen Zhiyong was a little puzzled: "They all have their own cars, so they do seem quite wealthy. What's their background?"
Yang Chengjian thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's from the coal mining area."
Song Rui immediately chimed in, "Yes, there are many private coal mine owners in the coal mining area now, and they're making a lot of money."
Feng Haidong also recalled that after the layoffs in his city, the reason why prices in the city were still not low and business was still very good was because there were still coal mines in his city.
Next, most businesses in the city could not withstand the pressure, and the entire city experienced a wave of layoffs.
Because of the two main pillars of coal mines and power plants, the city's economy can still be sustained.
Yang Chengjian speculated that Li Shitong might be the owner of a coal mine, a possibility that Feng Haidong believed was highly likely.

The only ones who can afford to go against Feng Haidong like this are probably the coal mine owners.
Compared to others, the money Feng Haidong has earned is nothing.
However, Feng Haidong did not intend to confront the other party head-on.
Since the other party wants to get into the crayfish business, regardless of their motives, Feng Haidong has no intention of confronting them head-on.
If the other party insisted on doing it, Feng Haidong would temporarily back down and let them take over the crayfish market.
As for whether they can win?
That's not something Feng Haidong should worry about for others.
Feng Haidong did not allow everyone to continue the discussion, but only gave instructions to Feng Baoan.
“Uncle Bao’an, remember this: when you get back, do as I say. The other party’s people will definitely go to town tomorrow. If they find you, sell them the crayfish. Give them as many as they want, just leave some for me.”
Feng Baoan was still a little worried: "Haidong, if we give all the shrimp to them, are you sure you can manage?"
