Chapter 1
Wu Meng's efficiency is even higher than Jiang Qi imagined.
Before he and Jiang Bing arrived at the store, Wu Meng had already found three small stores that were also preparing to close down and sell off their stores. The scale of these three stores was similar to that of Rumeng. Two of them were located in residential areas near colleges and one was located on the second floor of a remote commercial street.
Wu Meng not only found the right people, but also built a good group.
The name of the group is [Group to Rehabilitate Boss Jiang].
When Jiang Qi saw the name of this group:?
Wu Meng invited Jiang Qi to join the group and spoke actively.
Wu Paopao: Boss Jiang, I have helped you contact three bosses who are also preparing to close down. If you need more, I can continue to help you contact them.
Mi Li (asked about to come to me): Hello Boss Jiang, I’m Xiaomi from Mi Li. This is the script list of our store. I’ll send you photos of other items in the store later.
Mi Li (about to find me): [Picture]
Gululu: Hello Boss Jiang, I’m Xiao Chen from Yibu, and this is the script list of our store.
Gururu: [Picture]
sunny: Hello Boss Jiang, I’m Xiao Zhang from Kuihua, and this is the script list of our store.

Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Bing who was picking fruits in the fruit shop at the entrance of the alley.
Jiang Bing is actually a typical homebody. When the store is not open, she usually stays at home if possible. Even now that she is back, she rarely comes to the script store.
Since it's a rare day out today, Jiang Bing decided to go to the script shop with him and take a look at the progress of the new store's renovation.
"Sister." Jiang Qi said as she pulled Jiang Bing into the group, "There are three more stores selling second-hand books and furniture that you need to look at. How about... you look at them together today?"
Jiang Bing, who is studying whether red apples are sweet or not:?
Catch me to do hard labor?
Jiang Bing opened his mouth: "I want to take a taxi..."
"I'll pay for the taxi fare."
"Deal." Jiang Bing said no problem, "Send me the address."
"The address is in the group."
Jiang Bing studied the addresses of the three stores and found them to be OK, not too far away. He put his phone back into his bag and asked curiously, "Brother, you bought second-hand books and furniture from that girl just now. Is it because of that video and article these days?"
Although Jiang Bing doesn't take care of things and is nominally a full-time accountant who has only looked at the store's accounts once, she is, after all, the former manager of Xinghe Script Agency and the sister of the current manager. She is in the work group and eats with the store's core employees every morning and noon. How could she not know the store's top priority at the moment?
Jiang Qi nodded.
"Boss Zhen has been posting articles and videos these days. We don't know what he will come up with in the next two days. I think his business is not doing well, so he is busy with these things all day long." Jiang Qi said, "Help him find something to do. I think Boss Zhen will have no time to bother us after today."
Jiang Qi, who has eaten so much gossip over the years and is considered a half-expert in quarreling, knows very well that if he fights back, the opponent will become more excited, and the endless entanglement between the two sides will lead to a very troublesome situation.
If I really pretended not to see it, he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep before going to bed at night. If I endured it for a while, the angrier I would get. If I took a step back, the more I thought about it, the more I would lose.
It would be too expensive to let Lili help him vent his anger. He was not rich enough to spend 9,900 yuan a day to make Boss Zhen unhappy.
On the contrary, Huang Fugui’s method of solving the problem is very worth learning from.
The best way to solve a problem is to solve the person who is causing the problem.
The best way to bring down a hot search is to create a more eye-catching and popular hot search.
Jiang Qi believed that once Jiang Bing finished visiting the other three stores and he paid the deposit, the people in this redress group would suddenly jump from Boss Zhen's camp to the blind box camp. Boss Zhen would have no time to care whether the flowers in other people's gardens were blooming well, as if his own backyard was on fire.
"But is Boss Zhen's competition really that bad?" Jiang Bing was a little curious. "Why do I feel like the stores participating in the competition aren't very happy about it?"
"Actually... it's not that bad." Jiang Qi said, "If we weren't the control group, Boss Zhen might have been able to hold this competition."
Wu Meng now complains and even hates Boss Zhen's competition. If there was no control group for the blind box, and Jiang Qi hadn't contacted her to buy something from the store, it's hard to say what her attitude would be.
On the one hand, they didn't make any money, but on the other hand, they had to pay 200 yuan in advertising fees for the competition, which made them unable to pay the property management fees.
On the other side are the blind boxes that originally had nothing to do with oneself, but suddenly became the property of one’s financial sponsor.
What a stark contrast, what an easy choice.
There is no doubt as to which side Wu Meng's heart will fall on.
"In fact, given the situation of Wu Meng's store, it would have almost closed down by now even if she didn't participate in the competition. Although it was Boss Zhen who persuaded her to participate in the competition, in fact, when she participated in the competition, she must have had the idea of trying it out just in case it was useful."
"If we hadn't been the control group, Wu Meng's store would have probably closed down, and she wouldn't have had too many complaints against Boss Zhen. What a coincidence that their competition has now cost them 1,000 but not 800. The nine stores participating in the blind box event are doing booming business on a daily basis. With such a big gap, she didn't have any complaints before, but now she does."
The anger in Wu Meng's heart had already ignited, and all Jiang Qi did was pour a ton of fuel on it.
"To be honest, this girl is not suitable for business. I have never seen anyone with a worse business than me." Jiang Bing has a clear understanding of his own abilities. "You may not have noticed, but do you know how new the tables and chairs in her shop are? They look as if no one has ever sat on them. I also quietly asked her how much the monthly rent for her shop is. Do you know how much it is?"
"How many?"
"1500!"
Jiang Qi was shocked.
A three-bedroom apartment in a residential area, with no furniture or even air conditioning, is a bare-bones, shabby house worth 1,500 yuan a month?
His street-side shop with two floors totaling 400 square meters only earns 8,000 yuan a month.
"She is really not suitable for doing business." Jiang Qi sighed.
"Yeah, I think I'm a business genius compared to her."
Jiang Qi:?
"Actually, I have been looking for shops online these days, and there is a 40-square-meter shop for rent on the old pedestrian street! Although the rent is a bit expensive, I think the price can be bargained down. I like the location of that shop very much, and it is especially suitable for me to open the candy store I have wanted to open for a long time. Brother, are you free these two days? If you are free, come with me to have a look at the shop. This time, I will decorate the candy store in a pink and dreamy way, and all the wallpapers will be pink..." Jiang Bing began to enjoy his future candy store.
"You are going to open a new store?!" Jiang Qi was stunned.
"Yes, brother, you don't know how many orders I received at the autumn exhibition, and these orders actually have repeat customers. I tell you, this script-killing store is really a good choice. I will go to the spring exhibition next year. Remember to buy me a ticket for the store."
Jiang Qi: ...
Jiang Qi thought about it, calculated the money, and thought that Jiang Bing would lose money if she opened the store anyway, so it would be better to lend her some money first and let her open the store later so that she could lose money later. So he said, "Sister, lend me some money!"
Jiang Bing:?!
"Didn't you just borrow it for Double 11?"
"Didn't I pay it back?"
"…How much do you want to borrow?"
"6w."
Jiang Bing: (;′Д`)
Jiang Qi must have done it on purpose! How did he know that I was going to spend 60,000 yuan to open a candy store?
"Do you really want 60,000?" Jiang Bing asked with difficulty.
"About the same. If you take a look at the store's accounts, you'll know that the gap in decoration is about 60,000 yuan. Of course, there shouldn't be so much gap now, after all, furniture and air conditioners should be bought cheaply at 99% new second-hand, but I originally planned to install the hard decoration after all the soft decoration was installed."
"Now you know that if there are cheap second-hand books and furniture, of course you should buy them, but if you buy them now, you don't have enough money. Lend me 60,000 yuan to make ends meet. I can pay you back in January."
But the shop I liked in January was definitely rented out! (*)
Jiang Bing cried in her heart.
Between his younger brother making money by opening a store and opening his own store and losing money, Jiang Bing finally chose the former.
"Okay." Jiang Bing's face was full of sadness. "I'll transfer the money to you when I get home tonight."
Jiang Bing, with a sad face, took a taxi to go look at furniture.
Jiang Bing was also very efficient. She had visited all three stores by around four in the afternoon and gave very good reviews.
They are all hidden gems that are so new that they look like they have never been opened.
Jiang Bing also put forward her ideas about the repeated scripts.
In fact, you can buy several sets of scripts that have a good reputation and a high opening rate. They are cheap anyway, and it is convenient for different customers to want to play the same script at the same time.
Jiang Qi asked Jiang Bing to take care of it and let her make the decision. He was bathing and burning incense to draw a new toy spirit.
Jiang Qi was bathing and burning incense, while Wu Meng and others were writing a rehabilitation notice.
At 4:27 p.m. on December 11, a day destined to be unlucky for Boss Zhen, the most unfortunate thing of the day happened to him.
At the beginning, the three stores [MiLi], [YiBu] and [Sunflower] announced in the competition group at the same time that they would withdraw from the competition because they were about to close.
The closure of these three stores was completely within Boss Zhen's expectations. They were all makeshift teams, and the owners were young people who were doing business for the first time. With [Ru Meng] taking the lead in withdrawing from the competition, there will surely be many stores that will close and withdraw from the competition that people do not want to support.
Boss Zhen had no intention of obstructing the process. Closing down these insignificant small shops and withdrawing from the competition was exactly what he wanted. The more shops he closed, the higher the moral high ground he would occupy when setting the pace.
Seeing other shop owners in the group asking with concern why they no longer insisted, Boss Zhen smiled disdainfully and said to himself: "Just shut it down. I just happened to create a video for the day."
As he said that, Boss Zhen was about to send a message to Lao Zhang.
"Boss, I heard that you were hit by an electric bike when you went out at noon today. Are you okay?" asked Boss Zhen's employee.
"It's okay." Boss Zhen said, "It's just a little scrape. I'm really unlucky today."
"It was bad luck enough to go into the hospital, and when I came out I was splashed with water by the sprinkler truck. I will call and report this broken sprinkler truck tonight." Boss Zhen cursed and took out a bottle of water from the freezer and tried to unscrew it. He didn't know if there was something wrong with the bottle or if he used too much force, but half of the water spilled on him the moment he unscrewed the bottle.
"Damn it." Boss Zhen quickly looked for paper to wipe his clothes.
Just as he was wiping his clothes, the WeChat messages on his phone suddenly started ringing wildly, as if a hundred people were looking for him at the same time.
Boss Zhen didn't have the habit of checking group messages on the screen. After wiping his clothes, he picked up his phone to see which group had exploded, and found that every group had exploded.
The most explosive thing is the competition group.
Wu Paopao (Rumeng): @Boss Zhen, Boss Zhen, please don't use our store's name to post these unfounded articles to slander other stores. Also, I have withdrawn from the competition, please return part of the advertising fee I raised before.
Gululu (One Step): @Boss Zhen, I also want to ask Boss Zhen about the advertising fee. It's obviously the money we all pooled together, why is your store the only one that appears in the advertisement?
Wu Paopao (Rumeng): I have already issued a statement about the reasons for the closure of my store. I believe that you, Boss Zhen, know better than us why our small stores closed down. You are really calculating, Boss Zhen, to suck our blood to support your family!
Sunny (葵花): I have already issued a statement about the reason for our store's closure. Please do not mention our store's name when you are leading the discussion in the future. I do not want to see my store in some videos or articles that provoke disputes. @甄老板
Ming (fine):? What's going on? What happened?
Qingtian (Guan Qiao): Yes, I have wanted to ask this for a long time, why is it that when everyone pools their money together, only Detective Heart appears in the advertisement.
Feng (Taohuacan): Are there any melons?
…
Boss Zhen: ???
Boss Zhen didn't even have time to reply to the message and ask Wu Meng what made his group suddenly go crazy, and quickly clicked on the bankruptcy announcement sent by Wu Meng.
It was a short 200-word announcement, with nothing written in it, except that someone named Zhen used the normal closure of [Rumeng] as an excuse to maliciously slander other stores. [Rumeng] hereby declares that the closure has nothing to do with anyone. If you insist on saying it has something to do with anyone, then you have just entered the wrong game. [Rumeng] does not want to be used as a gun for no reason after the closure, so I issued this statement.
Boss Zhen almost vomited blood after reading the announcement.
"Fuck, fuck, Wu Meng, what the hell is wrong with him?" Boss Zhen was so angry that he cursed out all kinds of swear words, "Fuck, you went bankrupt because of your own incompetence, it's none of my business."
"Who the hell is messing with me?"
"Why is Chen Ping joining in the fun?"
Boss Zhen was so angry that he wanted to make an excuse but couldn't think of anything to say. He had originally planned to launch a lightning-fast surprise attack on Galaxy Script Agency and JC with the same tactics in a few days, but he didn't expect that he would be ambushed before he could make a move.
Just when Boss Zhen was thinking about how to respond, he got a call from the biggest sponsor of this competition, a boss who had been deceived by him into paying a lot of money as a stake in the competition.
"Hello, Boss Zhou."
"Boss Zhen, what's going on here? Why did so many stores suddenly withdraw from the competition? I feel that what they said is different from what you told me. Didn't you tell me before that the TV advertising fee was more than 30,000? Why are they saying..."
"Ah, Boss Zhou, listen to me and tell you..." Boss Zhen panicked.
What a mess.
On the other side, Jiang Qi's alarm clock had rung.
Under the gaze of Huang Fugui, Old John, Wang Erya, Lili, Wang Xinghua, Tutu and Sunflower, Jiang Qi held his breath and pulled out the fourth toy spirit.
A plain looking little yellow racing car toy.
The front end of the racing car has very anime-like facial features.
"Hello, Mr. Wizard." The racing car said in a clear boyish voice, "Excuse me, have you helped me find the little master I like?"
"I want a lively male master between 6 and 12 years old. Mr. Wizard, have you found one for me?"
He was answered with a chorus of sighs.
Racing:?
Jiang Qi looked at the racing car and said earnestly: "Gender discrimination is unacceptable!"
"Cruz Ramirez."
"Ah no, Mr. Racing."
