Chapter 118 The Tranquility Before the Storm
"Mr. Ma, Weige, we just arrived";
Qiu Feng and Zhao Yun ran over in a hurry;
Originally, as the store manager, Zhao Yun had to coordinate the entire store, and he had to hold his mobile phone at all times to facilitate communication with everyone;
When the WeChat sound on the phone rang, I picked up the phone and saw Liu Wei’s message;
He quickly called Qiu Feng, and the two of them ran this way;
Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I saw Liu Wei and Ma Yibo coming out of the cafe.
"Why are you here?"
Ma Yibo frowned. Although it was noon, there were not many guests;
But there are only 4 people in this store, and now there are two of them, and one of them is the store manager. It can’t be justified no matter what.
"Yi Bo, I just sent them a WeChat message to ask them to come over. I was worried about a conflict between you and Zhang Shan";
Hearing what Liu Wei said, Ma Yibo was also a little apologetic. He came over excitedly because he was worried about his own safety;
But I still have that attitude, which really shouldn't be the case.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two. It's lunch soon. Let's have a light meal together later."
"You two, you have to work hard, I heard that Duan Lang is going to be the acting store manager";
Yes, Wang Lifen planned to make Duan Lang the new store manager and had already told Ma Yibo, but Ma Yibo didn't say anything;
It can be said that Wang Lifen knows more about the abilities of the people below than he does, Ma Yibo.
"Yeah, boss, we will study hard";
"Weizi, call the other two store managers and tell them to be careful, because they are worried about Zhang Shan's evil intentions";
"When unloading goods in the morning, pay special attention to nails on the road and the like during this time";
"Also, I asked everyone to stop discussing the matter of my investment of 5 million. If anyone asks, they will say that we have no funds and now we are looking for people to borrow money everywhere."
Liu Wei wrote down these points and quickly contacted Wang Weihua and Wang Lifen. Qiu Feng and Zhao Yun were even more confused. What was going on?
Could it be that someone else is trying to trick Aunt Qin?
"You two, go back later and tell other people in the store what I just said. Next, our Aunt Qin will make great efforts to develop and work hard. Going home this year will be considered a homecoming."
In fact, Ma Yibo didn't know if what he said was useful. Anyway, within Aunt Qin, stay vigilant;
Since the other party can find out that Aunt Qin is short of money and also knows that the bank loan is 1 million, the other party is likely to make a fuss about the funds;
As long as the news that he will invest 5 million does not spread, no matter how hard the other party jumps, they will not be able to make waves;
Even if the other party really finds out, there is still a question of whether they will believe it, and they may also wonder whether they are spreading suspicion on their own.
“Damn it, I’ll give you two million and you’ll earn hundreds of thousands, but you’re still not satisfied with the toast”;
Zhang Shan saw Ma Yibo and the two leaving without saying goodbye, especially the failure to buy Aunt Qin, which made Zhang Shan feel very angry;
When would I buy a company like this and still feel so frustrated?
Zhang Shan, who was going to ask his brother-in-law to find a way to seal away Aunt Qin, still felt that it was much better to take down Aunt Qin legally than to use the rough method every time;
Especially some time ago, his brother-in-law specifically told him that we are in the Internet age and should keep a low profile, otherwise there is nothing he can do if he is put online.
"President Chen, what have you been busy with recently? Let's have dinner together tonight";
Zhang Shan also began to use his own methods to attack Aunt Qin;
Aunt Qin also prepared a defensive posture, and could only use soldiers to block the water and cover it with earth.
It has been a week since Zhang Shan came last. Everyone in Aunt Qin is very careful. From getting up in the morning to closing the stall at night, they are in a relatively tense state;
The reason is very simple, that is, Ma Yibo asked everyone to be careful and go together when going home;
In this kind of atmosphere, who can not be depressed?
When you go out to do a job, how can you be so frightened and afraid of the city?
Fortunately, Aunt Qin is in charge, and everyone basically lives together, so there is no such thing as being left alone;
As for Wang Lifen, asking her husband Zhao Gang to pick her up every day was considered smooth, but Zhao Gang also resented Aunt Qin more.
In fact, Ma Yibo is also very strange. The longer this atmosphere lasts, the greater the loss will be to Aunt Qin, but Ma Yibo has no way;
After all, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear.
Ma Yibo was not idle during this week;
Not only did we find an office in Room 902 on the ninth floor with an area of 190 square meters in the nearby Kecheng Building;
At the same time, we found two bosses who were willing to become Aunt Qin’s partners;
One of the owners is Sun Qiutong, who eats delicious food at the north gate of Yike City;
For Sun Qiutong, who eats good food, since the opening of Aunt Qin's north store in October, not only has the business of Eat Good Food been failing, but the same has happened for Fucai Family, with business getting worse day by day.
But now, two months have passed, and the business is just like the original restaurant, it has begun to make ends meet and is losing money;
The two discussed it many times, just like the discussion between the owner of the restaurant and the owner of Xiaoqing Vegetable Shop, but it had no real effect;
I can only watch silently as the store business gradually declines;
During the past two months, the two companies have actually struggled, such as lowering prices together to carry out activities, offering member discounts, etc.;
But it fell into an endless loop. When the price was reduced, business was better, but not many people recharged;
When the price reduction event ends, the flow of people returns to what it was before the price reduction;
In other words, the price reduction only brought about the promotion at that time, and did not attract repeat customers;
In fact, this is also very simple. When the two companies don't bargain, the price is about the same as Aunt Qin's;
Aunt Qin’s shop decoration, vegetable equipment, young employees, and work clothes with Aunt Qin’s words all illustrate Aunt Qin’s intentions;
And the two of them, like the previous Xiaoqing Vegetable Store, are both mom-and-pop shops, and the decoration is just whitewashed. The layout does not look much different from the vegetable market;
Let me ask, in this case, if you were a customer, which one would you go to?
It must be Aunt Qin;
Then, they will fall into an endless cycle again, unless they work hard to renovate the inside of the store;
Then coupled with those high-end equipment, it may be possible to compete with Aunt Qin;
But this kind of investment was really not what they wanted, and they fell into the same situation as Pincai Restaurant at that time;
Just bite the bullet and decorate, finally compete with Aunt Qin and make money, which is fine;
If they don't make money, then they won't even have to pay for decoration expenses. This is an investment of more than 200,000 yuan, which neither of them dares to do.
Therefore, after Ma Yibo asked Wang Weihua to introduce the owners of the two stores in Beimen, he chose Sun Qiutong, who had good food;
The main reason is because Wang Weihua said that the other party's family conditions are relatively difficult, and if he loses his income from selling vegetables, the other party will be under great pressure;
At the same time, Sun Qiutong is also a woman and treats customers relatively gently.
When Ma Yibo came to tell him about the partnership system, the other party's behavior was the same as Wang Weihua's at the beginning, being arrogant at first and respectful at the end;
There is hatred for Ma Yibo, and he hates Ma Yibo for causing his business to suffer losses;
There is also appreciation for Ma Yibo, a young man who actually made Aunt Qin successful;
At the same time, he was even more envious of Ma Yibo and Aunt Qin's huge profits.
When she learned that Wang Weihua from Yike City Nanmen Food Restaurant was already a partner of Aunt Qin, Sun Qiutong had completely given up her resistance in her heart;
After Ma Yibo left, Sun Qiutong contacted Wang Weihua and even went to the store Wang Weihua was responsible for to inspect;
When she saw Xiang Qin type out the list for the day and Wang Weihua telling her about the actual business of his store;
Sun Qiutong completely gave up her resistance, contacted Ma Yibo directly, and agreed to become Aunt Qin's partner.
Another partner is named Shi Yu, and he is also in another community next to Yike City. The community is called Longfei Community;
As for Shi Yu, he inherited the shop that his family bought to sell vegetables. Although Shi Yu is young, he can still support his family;
However, for a young man, Shi Yu was bored by the life of guarding a vegetable shop every day without any rest throughout the year. He could see his head at a glance;
Especially in the past few months, Shi Yu also heard that Aunt Qin next to her was very prosperous. He also went to observe it. When he came back, he also wanted to renovate it so that their restaurant could be upscaled.
However, his pockets are insufficient, his family members are against him, and Shi Yu himself, who doesn’t have much savings, can only watch Aunt Qin’s development;
Now, Aunt Qin has grown to five stores, and Shi Yu dare not invest;
According to Aunt Qin's development, they will definitely settle in Longfei Community. When the time comes to compete with Aunt Qin, Shi Yu will not have any confidence.
When Ma Yibo tried his luck to see if he could persuade others to become Aunt Qin's partners, he and Shi Yu were inseparable, and Lang Youqing and his concubine were interested, and sparks of cooperation were sparked;
No, it was because the two had similar opinions, met each other late, and reached a cooperation;
Shi Yu became a partner and store manager of Aunt Qin's Longfei Community, enjoying the same rights as Wang Weihua;
Since this shop belonged to Shi Yu's family, Aunt Qin rented the shop and paid the rent to him.
It seemed that Ma Yibo's good luck ended just like that;
After opening high and moving low, the first store was Shi Yu's, and the negotiation was successful;
I thought I would make great progress today, but it turned out to be the opposite;
Until the evening, there was no reason for the shop owner to join. He even tried to ask the other party to join Aunt Qin, but received a cold stare.
In the next two days, Ma Yibo tried to persuade him as usual, but to no avail.
Of the five stores, only two were under the partnership system. Ma Yibo immediately decided to directly operate the remaining three stores by Aunt Qin.
