Chapter 539: Li Gong's Comeback
The second phase of the 100 schools program is ongoing, and after online voting, 200 impoverished villages and towns were not elected, and Li Yan selected another 100 locations as the targets of assistance.
He personally paid out of his own pocket and tentatively contributed 400 million yuan, not only to build schools, but also to help poor areas in need to build roads.
If you want to get rich and build roads first, this sentence is reasonable, if the road is not passable, everything will be in vain, and there will be gold and silver mountains that cannot be sold.
This time, the school donated by Li Yan was named after Li Shang, and it was called "Li Shang Hope Primary School", and the donor also wrote Li Shang that in addition to the primary school, he would also donate to build a middle school.
Because he had to take care of Li Si, Li Yan himself couldn't handle this matter in person, so he left it to Chen Aili to deal with it.
In addition, he donated money and materials to several orphanages in Jiangnan Province to set up a medical fund for orphans to serve children with diseases.
When Li Yan was doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, the Li family of the hidden clan had already become a pot of porridge, and although the upper echelons had issued a gag order, some clansmen still heard the rumors.
Li Pengqing and Li Meng failed to buy the antidote, and the news that they were detained by Li Yan in Funing spread far and wide, and the poisoned clansmen lost the supply of the antidote, and if they wanted to detoxify, they could only continue to assassinate Li Yan's enemies.
In just four or five days, as many as eight members of the Li family were killed as a result, five of whom were assassins and three were Li Pengyuan's henchmen.
The intelligence network in the Jiangnan region was wiped out, and it was impossible to listen to the intelligence in a timely manner, so Li Pengyuan had no choice but to temporarily transfer personnel from other regions to form a new intelligence network in the Jiangnan region.
Just as the Li family was trying to rescue Li Pengqing, he actually came back by himself, and took the more than 100 poisoned intelligence officers with him.
Li Pengyuan immediately invited several clan elders to hold a temporary family meeting, and Li Pengqing was also among them, and truthfully recounted what happened in Funing.
After listening to him, the highest-ranking clan elder squinted his eyes and asked, "In this way, you also fell into that kind of poison?"
Li Pengqing nodded with a wry smile and said: "Anyone who was caught by Li Yan was not spared from being poisoned, and for some reason, he would release us back with a few words of scare." ”
"If I don't put you back, will it be possible to keep you for dinner?" Another clan elder snorted coldly: "It's not that I said you, the fifth child is also a lot of age, and you are still so impulsive in doing things, and if you don't say anything about yourself, even the intelligence network will be completely paralyzed." ”
Being ridiculed, Li Pengqing said with a dark face: "I am also thinking about the interests of the family, Li Yan raised the price of the antidote to 800,000 pills, and if you were to negotiate, would you agree?"
Li Pengyuan interrupted: "The most urgent task at the moment is to get the antidote, everyone can speak freely, and try to open their mouths if they have any ideas." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, only one clan elder spoke: "Judging from our understanding of Li Yan, this son has always eaten soft rather than hard, it is said that he has an unusual relationship with Qin Yu, and our Li family and Qin Yu also have some contacts, can you ask Qin Yu to be a middleman to help intercede." ”
Li Pengyuan pondered for a moment and said: "This method can be tried, and if the soft one does not work, then the hard one will be used." ”
The Yin clan and Qin Yu did have a close relationship, but they were limited to a few of them, and they were only general friends with the Li family.
Regarding the grievances between Li Yan and the Li family, Qin Yu sent someone to find out, and he was very smart not to intervene and refused the Li family's request.
If you help the Li family intercede, it is easy for Li Yan to misunderstand, thinking that standing on the opposite side of him, with the Li family's friendship, it is not enough for Qin Yu to do this.
"The one surnamed Qin actually refused, is our Li family's favor so worthless?"
Qin Yu's approach was really unexpected by Li Pengyuan, he originally thought that as soon as the Li family opened his mouth, Qin Yu would not hesitate to agree, but the result was diametrically opposite.
At this sensitive moment, Li Pengyuan originally did not want to have too much conflict with Li Yan, and planned to ease this period before making plans.
However, Qin Yu's refusal forced Li Pengyuan to use tougher means to deal with Li Yan, and he had to get the antidote no matter what.
His idea was to kidnap Yin Xiaoya and force Li Yan to explain the antidote formula, even if he paid a certain price.
However, in this way, there is no room for easing the contradictions between the two sides, and even if Li Yan's character compromises temporarily, it will not be long before he will launch a more violent revenge.
Moving his family, there will definitely be an endless scene.
Just as Li Pengyuan decided to arrange manpower, Li Gong suddenly asked to see him, saying that he had a solution to the problem.
The hidden Li family will fall into the current desperate situation, Li Gong can be said to be indispensable, Li Pengyuan has long been disappointed in him, and he doesn't expect this guy to come up with any feasible ideas.
After all, it is his own son, Li Pengyuan sighed and asked Li Gong to enter the study to talk in detail.
After entering the door, Li Gong analyzed: "Father, it is actually reasonable that Qin Yu will refuse our Li family, this guy is the same kind of person as Li Yan, and the stones in the pit are smelly and hard, so you don't need to be too disappointed." ”
"There is no way to ask Qin Yu to intercede, I didn't have much hope, let's talk about your way. Li Pengyuan said.
"I don't think we can be too weak, lest Li Yan think that we can't do anything about him, but we can't be too aggressive, my plan is to ......," Li Gong said carefully.
At first, Li Pengyuan just listened casually, but in the middle of it, he suddenly realized that the idea put forward by Li Gong this time was good and very feasible.
"This method is good, just do as you say, the method is proposed by you, and it will be handed over to you to implement, if you can fight a good battle, it is not completely impossible to restore the identity of the young head of the family. ”
After receiving the old man's promise, Li Gong was overjoyed and immediately said: "The child will live up to his father's high expectations!"
Exiting the study, Li Gong was full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to take action.
Since the development of fake taste restaurants, the number of stores has exceeded 400, and this number is still growing rapidly, mainly distributed in large and medium-sized cities, and a small number of counties or county-level cities have also been established.
There are also more than a dozen fake taste restaurants in the magic capital and the imperial capital, and in such a big city where every inch of land is expensive, the rent of the store is frighteningly high, and the loss will be heavy for a day of closure.
In order to operate normally, black and white will inevitably have to be dealt with, and the annual cost spent on this is a staggering expense.
The money was spent, and the people who dared to come to the store to make trouble basically couldn't see it, and it was not spent in vain, but in the past two days, a strange phenomenon appeared.
It's not that someone is causing trouble, but that some customers come to the restaurant to eat, and when they are finished, they still sit in their seats, or they simply swallow slowly, and a meal can be eaten for hours.
Originally, there were not enough seats in the restaurant, and when the dining peak was overcrowded, it was not possible to reserve a place two hours in advance.
Being made by those occupying seats, there are fewer empty seats in the restaurant, which seriously affects business.
This strange phenomenon is not one or two restaurants, but more than a dozen, all spread over the big cities.
When Xiao Chuyu learned about this situation, he mistakenly thought that it was not in place, but after sending someone to investigate, he found that it was not the case.
In this case, it is really not easy to solve, those customers who occupy a seat do not violate any rules, they also spend money, and there is no rule in the restaurant that it must be eaten within how long it takes.
Obviously, someone is behind the scenes, the purpose is to affect the business of the fake taste store.
The cost of opening a restaurant in a big city is high, and the business is likely to be affected and it is likely to lose money.
Li Yan received a notice from Xiao Chuyu, who consulted him on a strategy, and did not prevent this kind of bad behavior in the past, and the company's senior management did not have a good solution for a while.
"The soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, and the other party's hand is very vicious, so we simply make a rule that the meal time is not allowed to exceed one hour, except for the private room. Li Yan said to Xiao Chuyu.
Customers who will book a private room are generally many people who come here, often for parties or something, and the meal time is relatively long, more than an hour is a common thing, and it cannot be mixed up.
As for the average customer, an hour of eating a meal is more than enough, and most people will not eat more than that.
If the meal exceeds the time limit, an additional fee will be charged according to the length of the delay, so that you can see who dares to stay in their seat.
Limiting meal times can be a bit of a dislike for customers, but there's no way around it.
