In the cold wind, Boss Lu stood in front of the sign. The commercial street was bustling with people and cars, and the voices of men, women, old people and children turned into waves of noise, like a colorful painting on a piece of white snow, but Boss Lu stood quietly all the time, like a statue frozen for a thousand years.
"Oh shit! Something big happened!"
Boss Lu finally woke up like an Inuit who had been sealed in ice and snow for thousands of years. He did not have time to go home and turn on his computer to report the situation in the industry group, but picked up the phone directly.
There are also several branches opened by restaurant owners on this street.
After receiving a call from Boss Lu, several bosses immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly met in Boss Lu's store.
"Bang!"
A boss wearing a big gold chain knocked the table off balance with one punch, which made Boss Lu feel distressed. It turned out that this table was not in your store.
But now is not the time to feel sorry for the table. The most important and most terrible thing is that Xu has extended the claws of his Tianya Food Restaurant to this commercial street and even to the entire west city area.
"What do you all think about this?"
"It's difficult! Although Xiao Xu is young, we all have to admit that he is indeed a powerful dragon. You haven't been to the mall in South City. The mall is very lively and crowded, but several stores in the same industry are deserted and have few customers!"
"And Xu Shang's shop is always full of customers from the time it opens in the morning to the time it closes at night!"
"Can we, the few of us, drive him out of this street?" a female boss said worriedly.
Another boss nearby sneered when he heard this: "If it was that easy to drive him out, he would have been driven out of this city long ago. Boss Sun is so awesome that he directly cut off his supply and swore that Xiao Xu would cry soon, but now -"
“You’re cutting off the supply of fresh produce? They’ve just opened a fresh produce supermarket!”
Just as the four were scratching their heads, the last of the five bosses, Boss Li, who was short and sturdy with a very experienced look in his eyes, suddenly spoke up:
"Hey, did you know that the landlord of our street has changed?"
"It's fine if it changes. Anyway, I signed a five-year contract with a fixed price. Even if it changes owners, I have already paid the rent. Otherwise, he will have to pay me three times the amount according to the contract!"
"I signed for eight years, so I'm not afraid... But now I regret it. Why the hell did I sign for so long?"
These chain restaurant owners are all experienced people who have been in the business for a long time. They are very smart in this regard... The biggest fear of those in the restaurant industry is that once the business is booming, the landlord will raise the price.
However, they are all quite capable, so they are very good at doing these things. Generally speaking, when they are in trial operation, they will waive the rent for the first few months when the business is just opened, and then use their experience to keenly judge whether it is worth operating in the long term.
As long as it is confirmed that there is, a long-term agreement will be signed directly and a high penalty for breach of contract will be agreed upon.
But now some people regret it... When signing the agreement, they didn't think about the existence of Xiao Xu, a stinky hooligan. If Xu starts to squeeze them, this long contract will become a noose around their necks.
Several people were worried, but Boss Li burst into laughter.
The boss next to him couldn't help but said, "You are happy, right? The contract is signed for one year, and you had to worry about whether the new landlord would raise the rent. Now you don't have to worry. When Xu Shang comes, we can just close the shop!"
Boss Li said, "What are you talking about! I'm not laughing because of this. Everyone, maybe we can really drive this Tianya Food Restaurant out!"
"Kick them out? What can you do?" Several people looked at Boss Li in surprise.
Boss Li smiled and said, "Besides our store, there are many fruit, fresh food, snack and barbecue restaurants on this street. I have asked around and found that many of their contracts will expire in March next year."
"Originally, I was planning to join them to negotiate the rent with the new owner... after all, there is strength in numbers! But now Tianya Food Store and Tianya Fresh Supermarket are here!"
"We know how scary these two are, but these people don't! When we go back and find them, we'll exaggerate and fan the flames. Do you think they'll panic? Will they be afraid?"
Several bosses suddenly realized: "What do you mean...?"
"That's right! I originally planned to use this trick when I was negotiating the rent, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now. There is strength in numbers... There are so many of us, let's go together and put pressure on this new landlord!"
"Either we are the only one left, Xiao Xu! Or he and Xiao Xu are the only one left, and we are the only one left!"
"One person is more than so many of us! Anyone should know how to choose!"
After listening to Boss Li's plan, the four bosses present were all full of admiration for him, and they applauded warmly and praised him continuously.
"No wonder he was able to become a section chief! Such ability! Such thinking! It's really different from us ordinary people!"
"Without some stuff, could Boss Li have gone into business? He started from scratch and has made it to where he is now. Boss Li's abilities are extraordinary! I admire you, I admire you!"
Boss Li was also so flattered that his face turned red. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the old days. Let's not be idle now. Let's go find our colleagues on the street and have a good chat!"
"Yes, yes! Let's go now!"
Boss Li divided the people into two groups. He and Boss Lu immediately took some gifts and went to other shops on the street to have a good chat with the owners of these shops.
…
In just one day, boss Li united together all the business owners involved in the two stores on the commercial street and in Tianya Village, such as restaurants, fresh food, and fruit stores, as well as some unrelated business owners, such as those selling tea, tobacco, and alcohol.
Those who sell tea, cigarettes and alcohol certainly don't know that Chairman Xiao Xu did not develop these businesses, but the name "supermarket" is well-known.
After hearing what Boss Li said, they realized how vicious and unscrupulous Xu was, a bad guy who would do anything to break the rules of the industry, so they joined in the fun.
He even felt proud that he was fighting for his own interests.
The crowd came to the storefront of a commercial street property that had just formed a makeshift team, and excitedly expressed their dissatisfaction and protest against the arrival of Tianya Village Food and Tianya Village Fresh Supermarket.
"What's going on outside?" Chairman Xiao Xu asked his assistant.
"A group of people outside are protesting that... Tianya Food Store and Tianya Fresh Supermarket are not giving them a chance to survive!"
When Chairman Xiao Xu heard this, he immediately excitedly decided to come on stage in person.
"Who is here to sue me?"
When he saw the new landlord make his grand appearance, Boss Lu had a complicated expression like a bipedal groundhog staring into the distance.
ah! ?
Aaaah!?
Aaaahh! ?
