Chapter 206: Despair Spreads on New Year's Day
The railway station square was crowded with people.
The black-pressed crowd shouted "Countdown begins, 1/2/3......" in unison, accompanied by loud music and the sensational calls of the host on the live TV screen.
When the bell rings in the early morning, the crowd rejoices, balloons of various colors rise and float into the sky, various streamers fly in the air, countless pairs of arms dance, and the rhythm of the music is even more exciting.
New Year's Day of the millennium is finally here.
Whether it's Ai Bing Shopping or Intertek Supermarket, both stores are brightly lit and completely non-stop. Even though it was already midnight, there was still a steady stream of customers coming to shop. It was destined to be a sleepless night and an all-night party night.
Guo Yang stood at the door of Ai Bing's shopping and lit a cigarette. Out of the corner of his eye, he had already noticed that Meng Tianxiang was triumphantly walking across the road from the opposite side.
Meng Tianxiang burst out laughing out loud from afar: "Guo Dong!
Guo Yang took a deep puff of his cigarette: "It's good." I see that Brother Meng's supermarket is doing a prosperous business!"
"Whereever, we are the new army, you have experience. However, our promotional activities have been relatively successful, and in the past two days, the turnover has skyrocketed day by day!" Meng Tianxiang's arrogant and smug voice echoed in the night sky for a long time.
Guo Yang remained silent, he was not confused by Meng Tianxiang's appearance, because he knew that Meng Tianxiang was shallow, but he was not shallow and stupid to the extent that he was today, the reason why he was arrogant was nothing more than to provoke him, and then watch Ai Bing's shopping and out-of-stock liveliness.
Meng Tianxiang judged that Guo Yang's Ai Bing shopping, the storage volume could not last less than New Year's Day.
So he came over to watch the excitement.
He has been holding back for several days, and now he found that Guo Yang appeared in the store in Tianqiao District, where can he still hold it?
In his opinion, Guo Yang personally sat in the store in Tianqiao District, which itself was a manifestation of weakness and fear. In this war without gunpowder, he has already laughed at the end.
His misjudgment of Guo Yang is that he thinks that Guo Yang's industry is mainly based on Ai Bing shopping, and as long as Ai Bing shopping collapses, the so-called thriving Ai Bing Group will collapse. But in fact, he knows what a fart, Ai Bing's shopping is just an insignificant part of Guo Yang's many industrial layouts, and it will be even more slight in the future.
Even if Ai Bing Shopping can't hold on to closing its doors in the end, Ai Bing Group is still operating.
So from the very beginning, Meng Tianxiang made a wrong calculation and found the wrong target.
"Congratulations to Brother Meng for making a fortune!" Guo Yang arched his hand and handed over a cigarette: "Smoking?"
Meng Tianxiang waved his hand: "I don't smoke." ”
Guo Yang smiled and ordered it himself.
Guo Linlin and Yao Zekai couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Guo Yang and Meng Tianxiang standing side by side from inside the supermarket, and they could still achieve a harmonious atmosphere and laughter.
I was stunned, and there were quite a few supermarket employees.
The entire Ai Bing company knows that the owner of the supermarket opposite is surnamed Meng, and he is an inseparable opponent and enemy with his own big boss. But such two people, at such a sensitive moment, can still be safe and sound, which cannot but be surprising.
……
The second half of the night passed quickly, and the dawn of dawn jumped out of the eastern sky, and the air was filled with a strong smell of joyful firecrackers, which continued from the empty space in front of the Ai Bing shopping mall to the railway station square, and the ground was covered with a layer of firecracker fireworks. Sanitation workers muttered as they cursed and cleaned up the rubbish left behind by people who had been partying all night.
Guo Yang didn't go home, but was confused for a while in the rest area on the second floor of the supermarket store. The supermarket was not closed overnight, and when the new batch of employees in shifts arrived, they began to clean up the garbage in front of the door.
At this time, the red sun rose, and although the north wind was howling, the sky and the earth were still filled with a faint warmth, a little bit of spring.
Guo Linlin came over with a basin of hot water, and said softly: "Brother, wash your face, or you go home to rest, there should be nothing to do today, I just called and asked, last night Huang Fuming they loaded the goods until the second half of the night, in order to avoid fatigue driving, he let the driver sleep for a few hours, and now he is ready to start returning from the provincial capital." ”
Guo Yang smiled: "It's okay, I'll just stay here." ”
Guo Linlin sighed faintly, knowing that her brother was still not at ease. Although Ai Bing shopping is not a key industry in Guo Yang's entire business system, after all, he founded it single-handedly, and he will definitely not give up until he has to.
What's more, this is about winning or losing the war between him and Meng Tianxiang, and about his dignity, he can't lose to Meng Tianxiang!
Guo Yang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
At this moment, several employees rushed up to the second floor, their faces a little ugly.
Guo Linlin frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Guo, go down and take a look, there are too many guests at the door, and there is a long queue, but some of the goods on our shelves have begun to break......"
Guo Yang's face changed.
He got up and immediately rushed downstairs.
Sure enough, the supermarket was overcrowded and there was a long queue at the door.
Many people are shopping everywhere in the supermarket, and when they see that some shelves are starting to run out of stock, they all frown and call the supermarket staff.
But after a while, after all, out of stock is out of stock, and the supermarket didn't do anything to the customer, these people shouted for a long time, and began to leave Ai Bing shopping with each other, and swarmed to the opposite Tianxiang supermarket.
Seeing this, the tweeter of the Tianxiang supermarket over there to attract customers was louder and more hysterical.
Guo Yang knew that it was not only the Tianqiao store that was out of stock, but also other stores. He stood at the door with a black face, and turned his head to look at Guo Linlin: "Call Huang Fuming immediately and ask where they are?"
It takes more than an hour to take the highway from the provincial capital to the city, and then it has to be unloaded to the storage center, and then the goods are distributed according to the demand, so that it takes at least four or five hours.
Guo Linlin's face was not good-looking, she called Huang Fuming, and learned that the other party had just set off with the convoy, and she was a little helpless.
Guo Yang waved his hand: "Linlin, contact other stores immediately to see if it is out of stock." At the same time, notify the people in the storage center to immediately rush to the seven stores for inventory of goods, and the transportation fleet will deliver directly to the stores, and do not go through the warehousing process!"
After arranging these things, Guo Yang paced out of the shopping mall.
His mood was actually a little solemn.
But when he saw Meng Tianxiang walking slowly across the road wrapped in a black windbreaker again, the solemn color on his face instantly faded, but it was replaced by endless anger in his heart, and a certain impulse floated in his heart, he really wanted to rush over and kick this guy to the ground, and then step on two feet to finish.
Meng Tianxiang began to beckon from afar: "Guo Dong, it's early! Why, didn't you go home all night?"
Guo Yang smiled and groaned: "Brother Meng didn't leave either." ”
"This millennium New Year's Day is coming, and the flow of shopping has skyrocketed exponentially, which is really unexpected. What's the matter, I heard that your side is out of stock, and your customers are running to our store to complain everywhere, what's the matter?" Meng Tianxiang smiled.
Guo Yang knew that the other party's purpose was to provoke him. So he didn't get angry, he didn't laugh angrily: "Out of stock?
Meng Tianxiang sneered in his heart: Lao Tzu depends on you pretending, I want to see how long you can pretend.
"Didn't a few suppliers in the city run out of stock for you in the early stage? Your inventory lasted for five or six days, which is not bad. You see that we are also friends or peers, do you want me to support you a little?" The smile on Meng Tianxiang's face became even stronger.
"Thank you Brother Meng for being kind, but I really don't need it. Guo Yang clapped his hands: "What, I'm going in for a cup of tea, do you want Brother Meng to come and chat together?"
Meng Tianxiang also clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, we have a friend, we should have sat down and had a good chat!"
Meng Tianxiang swaggered behind Guo Yang's ass and went shopping in Ai Bing. Seeing the appearance of many shelves like morning stars, he sneered even more in his heart.
Guo Yang took Meng Tianxiang to the rest area on the second floor and asked the staff to make a pot of black tea. Then sat down with Meng Tianxiang and took a sip of the teacup.
To tell the truth, Brother Guo is really able to calm down, which Meng admires very much. Meng Tianxiang laughed.
Guo Yang also smiled: "Brother Meng's words are a bit hypocritical...... Obviously, the supplier on my side is out of stock, and you are the ghost behind your back, and you are still crying in front of me, isn't it a bit too much?"
Meng Tianxiang pretended to be stunned: "Brother Guo, you have wronged me by saying this." I'm a newcomer, and it's the first time I've done supermarket business, so how can I have the ability to make trouble behind your back? I can't afford to mess with any of your suppliers!"
Guo Yang quietly continued to pull with Meng Tianxiang: "You can't afford to provoke it, but Song Dachang behind you can." Brother Meng, there is something I want to remind you. ”
Meng Tianxiang shrugged: "Brother, please speak, Meng listens." ”
"People like Song Dachang, once they get wet, it will be difficult to get rid of them. As soon as Vice Mayor Meng arrived, you caused him this kind of trouble, aren't you afraid of ruining your father's political future in the future?"
"Who is Song Dachang? I don't know?" Since some of the words pierced the window paper, Meng Tianxiang naturally didn't bother to pretend to be Sven anymore, and the hooligan is a hooligan and no longer pretends: "What do you know?"
Guo Yang pursed his lips and smiled.
I didn't mention it again.
He continued to talk to Meng Tianxiang and drank a pot of black tea for more than two hours. The two chatted enthusiastically, from all walks of life in Tiannan and Haibei, from the business field to the cultural classics, and even talked about antique appreciation.
When Guo Yang was a little bored, there was the sound of car horns at the door, and at the same time there was the lively sound of gongs and drums. Guo Yang turned his head to look over and saw five trucks dressed in red and colored, with a red banner of "Ai Bing Logistics Fleet" on the front of the truck, he couldn't help but chuckle and pointed outside: "Brother Meng, my own logistics team has delivered to the door, do you want to go and see the excitement together?"
Meng Tianxiang's face changed suddenly, his heart sank, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He is not a fool, he understands everything after watching all this. He knew that he had lost again this time, without any bottom line, without grace, and almost lost his family.
The laughter and the tighter gongs and drums of the Ai Bing shopping staff at the door came in, Meng Tianxiang's face was pale, he couldn't stand steadily, and a sense of despair spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body.
On this millennial New Year's Day full of joy.
He didn't know how Guo Yang did all this, let alone how Guo Yang resolved the out-of-stock crisis, but he knew that after this battle, he no longer had the capital to continue to compete and be hostile to Guo Yang.
At the same time, his faith, his pride, and his courage were all lost.
From now on, he will never be able to raise his head in front of Guo Yang.
He's always a loser!
Meng Tianxiang clenched his fists, his face was like earth, and his sharp nails were pinched into his skin, oozing traces of blood.
Guo Yang smiled and shrugged: "Actually, I should be grateful to Brother Meng, if it weren't for you calculating my experience behind my back, I really didn't know that this world was so wide." I acquired the foreign trade fleet and set up Ai Bing Logistics, which I originally planned to do in the second half of this year...... From advance to now, it's all thanks to your brother Meng!"
Meng Tianxiang's shoulders shook, and there was a burst of Venus in front of him, and he almost fell to the ground.
Guo Yang's cold voice still came into his ears very clearly: "I hope this is the last time, I hope that Brother Meng can learn a lesson and never stab me in the back again, otherwise, I will return the knife and let you die without a place to be buried!"
"I've said before, you're not my opponent, you're not qualified to be my opponent. As for personal feelings, even without me, Xiaoice will definitely not like you, if you still can't recognize this clearly, then your surname Meng is not stupid but stupid. ”
Guo Yang sneered, turned around and walked downstairs.
Meng Tianxiang stood in place for a moment, his body swayed for a while, and finally he felt that the world was spinning and he fell to the ground and fainted.
Several employees of Ai Bing Shopping hurriedly came over to help Meng Tianxiang, and the four of them happily carried the unconscious Meng Tianxiang on a stretcher, crossed the road, and walked to Tianxiang Supermarket.
Meng Tianxiang's people were taken aback, and hurriedly rushed out of the door, and also dialed the 120 emergency number at the same time.
On the opposite side, the tweeter of the Ai Bing shopping flyover store to attract customers also shouted hysterically, and the northwest wind howled across the entire area around the train station, and all the passengers who came and went were still busy buying tickets to take the train or waiting for the train, and the fallen leaves were fluttering and sprinkled, and they were shining like jewels in the brilliant sunshine.
Dozens of Ai Bing Shopping employees, with the assistance of the custodian of the warehouse center, began to count the various goods on the truck. Several drivers of the big truck, wrapped in yellow military coats, squatted on the ground and smoked cigarettes.
Guo Linlin happily instructed a female employee: "Xiaozhou, go make a pot of hot tea for a few drivers, and then bring a few packs of good cigarettes!"
Guo Yang was in a good mood, he finally glanced at the Tianxiang supermarket, then jumped into his car and galloped away. 21010
