Chapter 94 [94] Won’t you try me?
Wing On Department Store is a landmark shopping mall in Shanghai. Almost all the items here are imported big brands. A tie clip costs as high as 200 yuan. Correspondingly, the rent is very high, which is ten times that of other markets. Even so, it is still difficult to find a shop space here.
The owner of the only domestic brand clothing store here planned to earn some transfer fees and open a store in the clothing market. With the funds injected by Shen Yu, Tang Yuanyuan now had a lot of money in his account, so he spent 100,000 yuan in transfer fees without hesitation to get it.
Her target price is 250,000.
Tang Yuanyuan had the confidence to collect the transfer fee from Tang An. This clothing store was one of the first businesses to move into Wing On Department Store. It was surrounded by roads on both sides along the corner of the street and was a living signboard.
If Tang An wanted to kill Yun Duo and quickly support a brand, he would definitely choose to open a store here.
After Tang An took a look around Wing On Department Store, he really liked this place, especially the one with the sign saying it was for sale.
Jiang Hong's father pretended to be mistaken and peeled off the transfer notice on the glass. He said, "You got the wrong boss. I just took over this shop. I want to open a store here and sell high-end watches."
Tang An didn't suspect anything, because anyone who could open a shop here was already wealthy. He asked, "How much did you turn over to open this shop?"
Following Li Mu's instructions, Jiang Hong's father gave Tang An 50,000 yuan in bargaining space and pretended to be distressed: "It's expensive to open a store here! The transfer fee alone cost 300,000 yuan, and the rent is 150,000 yuan a year. It's too expensive!"
Tang An said with a smile, "I'll give you 500,000 yuan, and transfer this store to me."
Jiang Hong’s father: “!” Are you really kidding?
Tang An was very satisfied with Jiang Hong's father's shocked expression, as if he was a VIP. This made him feel that he had completely broken away from the past and was now a completely distinguished person.
The showy guy wrote a check on the spot.
Even though Tang Yuanyuan had thought that Tang An would sell the store at any cost, she never thought that he could become so arrogant.
Li Mu excitedly switched the phone: "A full 500,000! We made 400,000 this time."
Tang Yuanyuan said decisively: "He will continue to move stores and will definitely continue to encircle Yun Duo. Let's continue to move stores. You will be responsible for the store in the south, and I will be in charge of the store in the north."
Li Mu: "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yuanyuan picked up the car keys and called Qian Tingting. "Let's go, split up and go to different shops. Try to choose one that's close to Yun Duo."
Qian Tingting: "Isn't that a bit too impulsive? If we transfer all of it, we'll have to advance several million. Will that affect the store's liquidity?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Tang An is very arrogant now. He wants to prove himself by defeating my store. He is now rich and powerful, and he is completely irrational. He can't open stores one by one. He will only attack me on a large scale."
"Today I'll teach you another trick. When it comes to business, if you see an opportunity, you must act immediately. If you miss that opportunity, your money will be gone."
Qian Tingting: "So, I will never be able to do business, and the best person for me is to work for you."
"My boss is a workaholic, and my salary is getting higher and higher, which is also a kind of skill."
As Tang Yuanyuan expected, Tang An wanted to encircle Yun Duo, so he naturally had to open enough stores to compete with it for customers.
After taking over the store at Wing On Department Store and collecting the keys, he returned to the factory, called a meeting of key staff, and announced that he was going to start his own cake brand. He divided the area around the store marked with clouds on the map book and asked his subordinates to transfer 30 stores within a week. He also found a large decoration company to design a cake-themed cream-style decoration.
Tang An chose a style similar to Yun Duo's store.
After a week, Tang Yuanyuan earned nearly one million in transfer fees alone. Tang Yuanyuan just waved her hand and had a celebratory banquet at Bulgari.
Li Mu couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth: "I said, whoever goes against you is looking for death, you are really a devil!"
"I'm really looking forward to Tang An knowing the truth about this matter."
He wanted to take revenge on Tang Yuanyuan, but he didn't realize that he had foolishly given her a large sum of money.
Tang Yuanyuan sipped his champagne and said, "It won't be too late to talk about it after he's kicked out."
Li Mu slapped his thigh and said, "It's so funny, but I can't tell it. I'm almost dying of holding it in."
Qian Tingting was a little worried. She was a natural anxious person and asked, "Their store will be ready in two weeks at most. They have far more stores than we do. What if they start a price war with us?"
"It's not a possibility," Tang Yuanyuan said firmly, "It's a certainty."
"I just don't know what his price war will be like. Anyway, we'll just have to deal with it as it comes."
Li Mu was not worried at all. He understood one thing very early on: no one could compare to Tang Yuanyuan in selling goods.
Jiang Hong smiled: "I have confidence too!"
"Our business has always been stable. The pirated Yun Duo even advertised freshly baked cakes, but they never sold us."
Zhu Yue: "Don't worry about the factory. I will continue to develop new cake varieties."
Tang Yuanyuan frowned and took out a thick red envelope from her bag and patted everyone. "Don't talk about work. I'll see everything you do. A party is a party. Have fun."
Qian Tingting rubbed her forehead awkwardly. "Did I say something wrong? Did I start things off on a bad note?"
Tang Yuanyuan wasn't one to dwell on words. She only looked at her employees' work abilities, not flattery. "I'm not blaming you. You're cautious, meticulous, and responsible. Sometimes your words can make me reflect. It would be terrifying if there was only one voice around."
"I'm going back first. You guys go ahead and have fun. All expenses for tonight will be paid to me."
Tang Yuanyuan had no interest in karaoke and felt it was silly to just sit there, so she held the car keys and let them play by themselves.
Li Mu also walked out of the box with Tang Yuanyuan, carrying the car keys. He could not get along with these female colleagues at all.
"Do you want to play video games?"
"I'm going home. You can take a taxi."
"Tang Yuanyuan, you're so boring! You don't play anything, you don't eat meat, you don't sing karaoke, you want to become a nun! Then I'll go to your house and watch TV," Li Mulai said as he got into Tang Yuanyuan's car: "I'll drive you?"
Tang Yuanyuan said unhappily, "You don't have a TV at home?"
Li Mu: "No! I'm going to your house to watch TV."
Tang Yuanyuan: "It's inconvenient for a single man and a single woman."
Li Mu: "Who is single? You are single, and so am I. Besides, nominally, I am still your boyfriend."
Tang Yuanyuan felt that she could no longer play this childish game with Li Mu. This was not fair to Shen Yu. "Get lost. I'm not going to play along with you anymore. Figure it out yourself."
Li Mu was surprised: "Why?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "You're delaying my search for a partner and getting married, okay?"
It’s so rare!
This is simply a thousand-year-old iron tree blooming.
Li Mu straightened his chest and said, "If you want to find a partner, I'm the most suitable one."
"Look, I'm handsome, have a good temper, and I'm not a playboy. The key is, I won't fight back if I hit you!"
"I'll just take a small loss and obey a shrew like you."
"Stop," Tang Yuanyuan said, "I won't develop unnecessary relationships with my partners. It costs money."
Li Mu: "...Can't you think about it from another angle? This way you don't have to give me any money, there's no loss of money, and your money will be doubled!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Li Mu, you are still a child." The feeling of being inseparable from adults.
Li Mu was as anxious as a puppy that had exploded: "Who's a kid? I'm already 20!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Get off the bus. I still have to go home and do my workbook."
Li Mu twisted his body and said, "Oh, I live in the same complex as you now, upstairs from you, okay, I just rented it."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Unfortunately, I don't live in Happy Home anymore. I live in Puffer Bay."
Li Mu was surprised: "Really? When did it happen?"
Tang Yuanyuan didn't know how Shen Yu did it, but she chose the latter. That night, she was taken to live in the large flat.
Now she doesn't even have to do housework like washing clothes and mopping the floor!
"I've been living there for several days."
Li Mu puffed up his cheeks: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Tang Yuanyuan waved her hand: "Drive your own car. I don't take naughty kids."
Li Mu repeated: "I'm not a child!"
The people finally got out of the car, and Tang Yuanyuan drove out directly.
The Shen family lives far away, and Tang Yuanyuan doesn't want to waste time running back to eat at night, so her aunt doesn't live at home and only comes in the morning to make breakfast and do housework.
Tang Yuanyuan was not used to having outsiders around, so she took a comfortable bath, changed into pajamas, took the hair dryer to the study, and did her homework while blowing her hair.
Her hair has grown longer recently and it takes a long time to blow-dry it. After this busy period, she decided to get her hair cut short.
Time passed silently until someone grabbed him from behind. Tang Yuanyuan could smell the aroma of alcohol in his breath. His hand holding the pen didn't move. He asked, "Did you go to a social event?"
Shen Yu closed his eyes, put his face against the top of her head, and said softly, "Hmm."
He waited for three seconds, but Tang Yuanyuan didn't say anything.
Open your eyes and you will see someone writing the answer with a pen.
Shen Yu pinched her earlobe and asked, "Why don't you ask me if there are any women at the dinner?"
Tang Yuanyuan had already answered the first question and was considering the next one. "I'm also going to have dinner with men, so why would you ask? If you're a lecher, you'll naturally lie to me. If you're not, there's no need for me to ask."
Shen Yu played with her hair in amusement: "So which one do you think I am?"
Tang Yuanyuan deliberately said, "The latter."
He rubbed his fingertips down her collarbone, "I see you don't want to do your homework anymore."
She couldn't stand being pinched any more, "No more playing, I still have to finish my homework before I can go to bed."
Shen Yu's voice rose two notches: "You won't be writing until 12 o'clock again tonight, right? Can you go to bed early?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "It depends on my efficiency. I'll try to finish before 12 o'clock."
Shen Yu closed her homework in anger and said seriously, "Staying up late for consecutive nights is not good for your health. Try harder tomorrow."
Tang Yuanyuan pushed him away: "No, you have homework tomorrow, go take a shower."
Shen Yu took out a small square box from the paper bag: "Carry this with you from now on."
Tang Yuanyuan picked it up and saw that it was an electronic product the size of a palm with three words "Xiaolingtong" written on it.
There was already a number saved in the phone book, named "Boyfriend". When I clicked it, it was Shen Yu's phone number.
Yu Fangfang has been furious recently. Not only did she not get a new role, but she was kicked out of the crew she had already joined and was even kicked out of the hotel by the crew overnight.
A luxury car rushed out from the side. Yu Fangfang was so frightened that she took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Tang An got out of the car and said condescendingly, "Beg me, beg me and I will praise you and let you live your life in the clouds again."
Yu Fangfang: “Pooh!”
"You turtle bastard, I'd rather starve to death than beg you!"
Tang An sneered and said, "You really have guts."
"I want to see how long your courage can last."
Tang An just didn't believe that someone like Yu Fangfang could still live a hard life. As long as her savings were spent, she would definitely come to him for help.
After saying this, he got in the car and drove away.
Yu Fangfang carried her suitcase and walked for a long time before she got a taxi back to her house.
Now, Tang An is blocking her everywhere. It seems that she can only ask Tang Yuanyuan for help.
The eldest daughter was in trouble, but she still wanted to save face: "I want to be a star in the future. I won't keep selling cakes to you. I'm just taking refuge temporarily. When this is over, I will go back to my old job."
Tang Yuanyuan knew that Yu Fangfang would definitely become famous, and being a star seemed to be very profitable: "When my cake shop goes public, I will support you."
Yu Fangfang was a little skeptical: "Can you do it? Isn't your brother also trying to block you? Can you compete with his financial resources?"
Tang Yuanyuan put on the shop assistant's cake hat on her and said, "Take your training seriously and sell your cakes. This is what the boss should worry about."
Yu Fangfang thought of the big Mercedes-Benz and that young Mr. Shen!
"You two have reconciled, right? Do you have a powerful backer now?"
Tang Yuanyuan covered her mouth and said, "Tang An can't know about this for the time being."
Yu Fangfang said sadly, "Alas, we're both banned, so I can only sell cakes, but you have the support of a big boss. It's great to have someone to back you up!"
Tang An's price war came as expected. Tang Yuanyuan looked at the words "buy one get one free" on the banner and twitched her lips speechlessly.
Li Mu puffed up his cheeks and said, "Damn!"
"Don't they all have their own ideas?"
"Another smart scholar!"
The pirated Yun Duo took the first two words, and the store decoration accounted for nearly 70%. On Tang An's side, Yun Duo Forest was directly used.
It all has to do with the word "cloud"!
The decoration style is also very similar, with large areas of cream color.
Qian Tingting said worriedly, "9 yuan a piece, buy one get one free, that becomes 4.5 yuan a piece. That's not much profit. Small cake shops are selling it for 5 yuan a piece now."
Li Mu: "He's crazy!"
Qian Tingting: "What should we do now? He sells it so cheaply, customers will definitely choose the store with the cheaper price."
Tang Yuanyuan laughed, "Who says that in a price war, the cheaper ones will always have the advantage?"
"If he goes low, I'll raise the price."
"What!" Qian Tingting suspected she had misheard. "Our price is already twice as high as theirs, and now they're raising it?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Yes, we are going to raise the price."
"He goes for the low-price route, so I sell quality. I want to see how much money he loses."
The pager in my pocket rang. It was Shen Yu calling.
"Do you want to start a price war with him? How much money do you need? I'll ask the accountant to transfer it to you."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I don't plan to start a price war, so I won't need funds for the time being. However, I need some of your other resources."
Shen Yu replied: "No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
Tang An hired an advertising company to do marketing work, shot commercials and aired them during prime time, "making only 50 cents per cake," and opened all 30 stores on the same day.
Tang Yuanyuan also officially cooperated with the international dairy giant and held a grand signing ceremony. From now on, all Yunduo cakes will use imported milk.
Tang Yuanyuan bought the advertising section of the newspaper, and the popularity of Yunduo Secret Realm further increased along with the popularity of the milk brand.
The next morning, Qian Tingting panicked and flipped open the newspaper. "Oh no! Cloud Forest has followed our lead! Look, they've also announced they'll be using imported milk."
Tang Yuanyuan said calmly, "Why rush? Now that we're officially competing with Cloud Forest, to a certain extent, it's also increasing our brand awareness. Customers now have a choice between A or B."
"Now, the first goal is accomplished, and Mr. Chen's Yun Duo is out."
