The bosses of the catering industry in the provincial capital held an emergency meeting.
There were more people present at this meeting than the last time when Xu Shang was entertained. The large round table that could accommodate 30 people was not enough, so another small round table was set up.
It's no surprise that a provincial capital city has so many chain restaurant owners.
Catering has always been a huge business.
By 2003, Chongqing, which ranked first, had nearly 230,000 catering outlets. However, most of them were short-lived.
Of course, none of us here are like that.
There are owners here who own at least two or three stores. Some have opened branches in other cities, some in other provinces, and some even simply opened stores from other provinces.
Originally, everyone was happy and at least on the surface, they were peacefully collecting wealth, but now——
Xu Shang appeared.
Boss Lu took a deep breath, looked at Boss Sun who was sitting in the host seat, and then looked at the other bosses who had serious expressions, and finally spoke:
"Xu Shang asked me to bring a message to everyone—"
"You're daydreaming, you traitor!"
"Old Lu, why didn't I see through you before? Today, I will eliminate you on behalf of the alliance and the catering industry of this province!"
"Come here, drag him away and castrate him!"
"Castrate him severely to relieve my hatred!"
“……”Boss Lu.
"One of us! I am one of us!"
Finally, Boss Sun, who was sitting in the main seat, stopped his colleagues from setting off fireworks to sacrifice Boss Lu. He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then signaled to Boss Lu:
"Let's listen to what Boss Lu has to say first."
Boss Lu was finally able to continue speaking: "Xu Shang said that he came here this time with the intention of fighting us to the death. He said that he would either be beaten to death by us, or...beat us to death!"
"Bang!"
An emotional boss pounded the table: "If we don't kill the tiger, there will be endless troubles! I said it long ago! I said it long ago!"
"Oh no, this kid has become something powerful now!"
"Didn't President Sun cut off the supply to this kid last time? How did he get up again?"
"Hey, you don't know what this kid's new store is... Tianya Village Fresh Food Supermarket. Do you think he has solved the problem of fresh food supply?"
"Ah? This kid is so powerful?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Boss Sun was frowning in thought.
The problem he thought about was different from that of others. To be more precise, the problems that other bosses thought were tricky for Xu Shang were nothing at all in his opinion. What really surprised him was the ownership of the commercial street in the west of the city.
As the ancients said, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle!
Therefore, Boss Sun had already investigated Xiao Xu's background. Except for the fact that it was really difficult to investigate in the deep mountains and old forests of Tianya Village, at least he knew Xu Shang's family background very clearly.
The combined scale of Xu Shang's two canneries is indeed over 100 million...but the problem is that not all the shares belong to the Xu family. In fact, some of the shares are still owned by the local government. Although the public-to-private transition has been completed, it was still a township enterprise after all.
Therefore, the Xu family has only tens of millions of assets at most, and most of them are shares.
And the industry is not in the urban area. Although it is certainly very influential locally...it is nothing in this provincial capital.
So, he didn't understand how Xu Shang got that street.
But fortunately, he knew Boss Zhang.
So he called Boss Zhang, but the latter was very secretive and just said, "Anyway, this land already belongs to Xu Shang."
But what is very interesting is that when Boss Zhang heard that Chairman Sun was going to join forces with the catering industry to strangle Xu Shang, he showed a strong enthusiasm to participate. He was willing to invest 30 million and entrust Chairman Sun with full authority. He also said that if Xu Shang could be forced to sell the land, he could buy it back at a high price.
As a result, Mr. Sun, the vice president of the Provincial Food Association, whose businesses span multiple fields, became interested.
Originally it was just a minor incident, but now——
He was going to get serious.
Seeing that everyone was talking about it for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer of 2.58 million, President Sun reached out his hand and tapped lightly on the table. The scene immediately became quiet and everyone turned their eyes to President Sun.
"Let me say a few words!"
Everyone immediately listened attentively, and President Sun also began to talk:
"The reason why we allowed Xu Shang to have some breathing space last time... I think the most important reason is that we were not united enough!"
"It's true that I cut off his supply! But then what? What did everyone do? They didn't do anything, but just waited for Xiao Xu to die... Is there such a simple thing in the world?"
"While you were all waiting for pie in the sky, what was Xu Shang doing? He left his two profitable stores behind and went straight to the countryside. As a result, you all saw that he has now opened a fresh food supermarket!"
"Have you ever thought that during the more than one month he was in the countryside, his store was at its weakest? If he is no longer around, and you launch a series of attacks, will his store be able to respond correctly so quickly?"
"Even if we can't destroy his store, at least we can make him unable to take care of the front and back, and can't concentrate on running the back office, integrating resources, and solving the supply problem in one fell swoop!"
"But you...didn't do anything!"
President Sun laughed coldly and said, "It's not easy for all of you to get to where you are today. But now I feel that most of you are just lucky and riding the dividends of the times. Without luck, you are nothing and are far worse than Xiao Xu!"
Regardless of whether what was said made sense or not, it at least seemed to be true. No one dared to speak out, just like an elementary school student who wanted to ask a question in class but knew nothing, for fear of being criticized by name.
However, President Sun did not continue to "criticize" everyone, but instead poured in some chicken soup.
"Now that he's made a comeback, he's even more troublesome than last time, but I still think... it's not a big problem!"
President Sun stood up and looked down at everyone: "As long as we can join hands and work together, it will still be easy to deal with him - then everyone, are you willing to listen to me this time and join hands to kill him?"
"If not, all of you will be captured!"
After hearing what Chairman Sun said and seeing that he was willing to take the lead, everyone became excited and expressed their willingness to follow Chairman Sun and defeat the young Xu Shang.
"President Sun, what do you plan to do with us?" Someone immediately became eager to start a war with Xu Shang.
“This first step is easy!”
President Sun narrowed his eyes, hiding the barely perceptible bloodthirsty light in them: "Lower the price!"
