Chapter 200 Envy
Chen Shundong was the first to react and asked the first question in his mind: "Brother Qian, Qilixiang and Jiangxinfang are both your boss's properties, so isn't that Lulutong?"
When the others at the same table heard what Chen Shundong said, their frowns suddenly relaxed. Yes, they had missed Lu Lu Tong. It was just that they didn't know whether it was because Manager Qian forgot to mention it, or...
"Oh, Lulutong is not the property of my boss. It's just that I am an old acquaintance of Lulutong's boss. He also plans to buy a business in Lanzhou City. When he was drinking and chatting with me, he learned that our opening date was set today, so he moved Lulutong's opening date to today, intending to double the happiness and bring good luck."
"It just so happens that the three of us are going to hold an event, so I invited him to join this event. The more stores that participate, the better the actual promotion effect. This is a win-win opportunity for both of us."
"Right now, it seems that the guests at Yipin Guo are very receptive to this kind of bundled promotion marketing method. However, I am still not sure about the situation at the other three restaurants. When I have some free time in a few days, I will invite them to have dinner together to discuss the business experience of the past few days and figure out if there is anything that needs to be improved."
Everyone present was secretly shocked when they heard this. Before they came, they had heard Chen Shundong mention his brother Qian, and they knew that Qian Lai was just a manager under his mysterious young master. To put it more bluntly, he was just a servant of a relatively high status.
Even if he became the owner of this pot, it would not change his status. Even if he wanted to show off in front of his master, he didn't have to work so hard, right?
"Is this the task assigned to you by your boss?" The others were not familiar with Qian Lai and many questions were difficult to ask, but Chen Shundong did not have this concern.
Qian Lai also immediately understood what Chen Shundong meant, and he answered seriously: "Of course not. Isn't it our duty as shopkeepers to share the worries of the boss and create greater profits for the boss?"
Qian Laiye's words made the others feel mixed emotions. The shopkeepers they were in charge of were just doing their job and would never take the initiative to consider these issues for their boss.
But this is not their fault. Put yourself in their shoes. If they were hired shopkeepers, they would not be able to be as dedicated to their work as Qian Laiye. After all, they have no share of the money earned, so why should they worry about it?
Moreover, they will be blamed if they are not careful. Why should they waste their good life and make things difficult for themselves?
Thinking of this, they felt very complicated. They really didn't know where Qian Laiye, the boss, found so many proactive and enterprising managers. They also wanted to go look for them.
"Then can we go to your dinner party?" Chen Shundong asked.
As soon as he said this, he immediately realized that his words could be misunderstood, so he quickly spoke up to make amends: "I didn't mean to inquire about your store's business situation, I just wanted to learn some of your business strategies."
"This..." Qian Laiye pretended to be embarrassed, and suddenly looked up at the others present, "Do you think the same?"
Boss Wang, who was sitting on the left side of Chen Shundong, nodded immediately. He did not make a decision for others, but only expressed his own choice: "If it is possible, Wang would be happy to do so."
When the others saw that the two had spoken, they also began to echo.
Qian Lai also thought for a moment and said, "When we meet, it is inevitable that we will talk about some things that are not convenient to disclose, so I can only say sorry to you all."
Everyone thought that Qian Laiye asked about their opinions and was prepared to agree, but they didn't expect that Qian Laiye would reject them so bluntly. Even though they were very good at cultivating their Qi, they couldn't hold back and revealed some of their true emotions.
Before Chen Shundong could speak up to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere, Qian Laiye spoke again.
"However, I can organize another dinner party at Yipin Guo later, and I can invite the owner of Lulutong to come along. If you are free, you can come over and have a simple meal together."
"Are you serious?" Boss Wang asked uncertainly.
Qian Lai also nodded at him: "Of course it's true. Bosses, please don't think that I am just being polite. I am sincerely inviting you. Speaking of which, we have been entrusted with important tasks by the young master and have become the shopkeepers of these stores. We are happy for the young master's trust, but we are also afraid that we will fail to do a good job and live up to this trust."
"We are unfamiliar with Lanzhou City and don't know much about the rules and regulations of Lanzhou City. You have been immersed in the business world of Lanzhou City for many years and are very familiar with these twists and turns. If we can get your guidance, we will definitely be able to avoid many detours."
"We want to develop in Lanzhou City, and we will inevitably have to deal with you in the future. You should give Qian a favor and let Qian introduce us. We can get to know each other, have a meal together, chat, and maybe we can find some opportunities for cooperation."
Wang Zheng laughed loudly, and then said loudly: "Manager Qian, you are too polite. When is the dinner party? Manager Qian just needs to send someone to my Ping An Inn to say hello, and Wang will definitely come to the banquet."
After Wang Zheng spoke, others did not want to be outdone and started to respond.
"Manager Qian is really too modest. What's the point of giving me advice? It's us who should learn from you."
"Yes, don't mention the matter of face or not. As long as Shopkeeper Qian calls, I, He Fugui, will definitely come."
Qian Laiye's words lowered his attitude and immediately dispelled the unhappiness in the bosses' hearts.
However, these people are all veterans in the business world and they know that Qian Lai said this only to give them face. If they really climb up the ladder and act like a superior and give orders, let alone any chance of cooperation in the future, they will probably not even have the chance to talk to him again once they leave this door.
After all, they witnessed with their own eyes the entire process of Chen Shundong and his Chenji Grain Shop from being plotted against to turning the tide.
When Chen Shundong was plotted against, these people were not uneasy. Whether it was because of the friendship over the years or the sense of crisis of the lips and teeth being in danger, they did not want to see the result of Chenji Grain Shop being swallowed up by Zhangji Grain Shop.
But different industries are like different worlds. Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless and could only watch Chen's Grain Shop close down.
When they thought that Chenji Grain Store was doomed to fail, the big backer behind Zhangji, Zhao Yongxin, suddenly fell.
