Chapter 1579 Complaint
The Wangji Medicinal Cuisine flagship store is located in Pujiang New District, and the location is quite good.
It is surrounded by five or six mid- to high-end residential areas and is adjacent to a public park. It is only two subway stops away from Binhai’s famous Pujiang Financial District.
When Yu Zhiming arrived here a little after 5:30 in the afternoon, he found that there were already twenty or thirty cars parked in front of Wangji Medicinal Food, which was decorated in an antique style.
Yu Zhiming got out of the car and saw Wang Shuisu leading a charming woman in a long dress walking towards him quickly.
"Shui Su, you didn't come here specially to accompany me, did you?"
Wang Shuisu said with a smile: "The national miracle doctor, the company's major shareholder, and it's his first time here, so it's only right that I come and accompany him."
She pointed to the woman next to her and introduced, "This is Qian Ting, the manager of this store. She's very capable."
"Under her management and operation, the store's business is getting better every week."
Qian Ting said modestly, "Doctor Yu, Miss Gu, Mr. Wang, you're too kind. My cooking is limited, but the main thing is that the medicinal food is effective and tastes good. Word of mouth has spread, and more and more customers are coming..."
As they were talking, Yu Zhiming and others followed Wang Shuisu and Qian Ting into Wang Ji Medicinal Food Restaurant.
The restaurant is quite large, with three floors in total. The lobby on the first floor alone has 36 dining tables of various sizes.
Yu Zhiming glanced over and saw that over twenty tables were occupied. At this hour, such a high occupancy rate was quite good.
After being introduced by Wang Shuisu and Qian Ting, Yu Zhiming took a brief tour of the hotel and then walked up the stairs to the third floor.
They walked into a large private room and sat down at a large dining table that could accommodate fifteen or sixteen people.
Yu Zhiming looked at the apparently empty private room and said, "For just a few of us, a small private room would suffice. A room this big would be a waste."
Wang Shuisu smiled and said, "If the largest and best private room hadn't been booked long ago, even if you came alone, you would have to be arranged in the best room here."
"This is identity and status, and it must be respected."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "I'm just a doctor from the countryside. There's no need for me to be so particular or pretentious."
Wang Shuisu chuckled and said, "Before, we didn't have the conditions. Now that we have the conditions, we naturally want to improve our quality of life and our style."
At this time, the waiters came in one after another and quickly placed more than a dozen of the restaurant's popular medicinal dishes on the table.
Yu Zhiming tasted them one by one first.
Objectively speaking, for Yu Zhiming, who has tasted many delicacies, eaten a lot of high-end ingredients, and has a very picky taste, the taste of this table of medicinal food can only be described as "acceptable".
After all, it is a medicinal diet, so in order to effectively stimulate the efficacy of the medicinal diet, most of the dishes are stewed, boiled, or simmered. Almost every dish has a faint medicinal flavor.
Yu Zhiming also understands that diners who come to eat medicinal food definitely do not pursue taste first, but mainly focus on efficacy.
Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to their physical health. Many middle-aged men and women are willing to drink bitter medicine every day to maintain their health.
They rated Yu Zhiming's dish as "okay." It's understandable that they liked it, considering it was actually delicious and its medicinal properties were personally noticeable.
After eating the medicinal meal for about 10 to 20 minutes, Qian Ting excused herself and left to greet other guests.
Wang Shuisu suddenly sighed and said, "Brother Zhiming, Qingning, I rushed here today because of an important matter. Perhaps our flagship store will have to move to another location."
Qing Ning couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Didn't we sign a five-year lease?"
"Why do we have to change places?"
Wang Shuisu smiled bitterly and said, "I just found out too. Last week, the property rights here changed hands."
"Just today, the new property rights company gave us a written notice saying they will take the house back in a month for other uses."
Qing Ning questioned, "Don't they say that a sale doesn't affect a lease? We signed a five-year lease."
Wang Shuisu said: "The other party is very wealthy and has expressed his willingness to compensate us for all our losses."
"Their desire to take back the house is quite strong."
"We've just started here, and it's not easy to find another store with such a good location."
Qing Ning asked again, "Did we get a written notice about the property rights transaction here?"
Wang Shuisu shook his head and said, "No. I received a notice from them today and learned that the ownership changed hands last week."
Qing Ning said in a deep voice, "It's good that there was no notice. If I remember correctly, we as the lessee have the right of first refusal."
"Just sue."
"We are asking for the right of first refusal to be activated, to purchase the property rights here, and for the court to declare their transaction invalid."
Wang Shuisu was stunned for a moment and said, "Qingning, it will probably cost 100 to 200 million to buy the property rights here."
"Although our company has grown rapidly in the past few months, all the revenue has been invested. We don't have the financial strength to purchase such a large property right."
Yu Zhiming said generously: "One hundred or two hundred million, the down payment is only tens of millions, I can come up with this part of the money."
"Shui Su, have someone negotiate with them and file a lawsuit. The longer it takes, the better. Business will continue as usual during this period."
Wang Shuisu smiled and said, "That's right. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the longer we delay, the better it will be for us."
Qing Ning asked again, "Which company is this? Have you found out what they're going to do with it?"
Wang Shuisu replied, "It's a big name, Huaihai Investment Co., Ltd."
"I also learned that in addition to ours, they also bought the adjacent building and said they wanted to convert it into a private club."
Qing Ning said softly, "Don't be afraid of their background. The more powerful their background is, the less likely we are to act rashly."
"After all, Wangji Medicinal Cuisine is backed by the Ning'an Group. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with the national miracle doctor they know?"
Wang Shuisu also chuckled and said, "In the past six months of doing business, I have truly felt the benefits of being your brother. When I revealed that I was your adopted sister, the other party would give me face and make concessions if possible."
"Let's put it this way, with my brother's name as my shield, the difficulty of getting things done is at least halved."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Since it's so useful, when you print your next business card, print our relationship on it."
Qing Ning glanced at him and said, "Why not just make a piece of cloth with the words 'Yu Zhiming's adopted sister' written on it and tie it on your forehead..."
While talking and chatting, the few of them finished their medicinal meal.
Just as Yu Zhiming was about to leave, the hotel manager Qian Ting returned to the private room.
"Doctor Yu, Miss Gu, Mr. Wang, the market regulators are here. They said a customer complained that our medicinal food contained banned drugs..."
