Chapter 182: Who Pits Whom (1)
The person who paid Xu Xiang's party to help obtain information was Sun Yaxing, the owner of a state-run hotel in the center of the city called Donglai Hotel.
Before Su Yi and his AUO Hotel opened, Donglai Hotel was the best hotel in the city center, and it could earn an average of seven or eight hundred per month. The sales of the two months of the wax month and the first month of each year can also exceed 1,000.
But since the opening of the AUO Hotel, almost all the business in the city center has been robbed. Everyone flocked to the AUO Hotel to spend, which caused the business of Donglai Hotel to decline day by day.
In the five months from the Qixi Festival to the first month, the hotel made a total profit of 1,800 yuan. On average, it is less than 400 per month, less than half of what it used to be.
Even in the two months of the wax month and the first month, which are usually the best business, the combined income is less than 500! And the total cost of the hotel is 6 or 700!
What does this mean? Donglai Hotel has already made a fortune and has begun to lose money! And it has lost quite a lot. If this continues, this business will not be able to be done!
Sun Yaxing looked at the account book of the hotel, and the hair on his head was half white. Seeing that the hotel was struggling to make ends meet, he felt that he had to take extraordinary measures to bring down the AUO Hotel.
Because general means, such as doing preferential activities like AUO hotels to attract customers, are useless.
In the past, he even took the initiative to lower the price of his meals, fought a price war with them, and grabbed business; secretly approached the chefs of the restaurant to poach them at a high price; and even talked to people about the rice, grain, oil, tobacco and liquor factories that supplied the Youda Hotel, hoping that those suppliers would instead supply to the Donglai Hotel.
However, for a variety of reasons, it all failed.
AUO Hotel's financial resources are not ordinarily strong. Donglai Hotel can't fight at all!
The cooks invited by Su Yi and them are all master-level. Behind the restaurant, there is also the largest breeding farm in the city that supplies meat to the restaurant without restrictions, and there is no shortage of other ingredients. Because they can afford the price, farmers on the outskirts of the city are rushing to send fruits and vegetables to the restaurant. The city's tobacco, liquor, grain, oil, and rice and noodle factories are also vying to supply AUO Hotels.
In just a few months since its opening, AUO Hotel has already made a name for itself throughout the city. Not to mention that many people in the city and suburban towns visit it, even in the counties and towns that are far away, there are also many people who come here.
The restaurant often can't sit down, and many people bring their own lunch boxes to pack. AUO hotels also provide oiled paper or plastic bags. However, depending on the number of meals that need to be packaged, a packaging fee ranging from three to two cents will be charged.
Every day, AUO Hotel is full of guests and business is booming.
Those tobacco, liquor, rice, flour, grain and oil factories, as long as the goods in their factories are sent to the restaurant, and the guests enjoy them, they feel good, and they will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores or department stores to buy their products in the future, and will also introduce relatives and friends to buy them, so as to boost sales.
It's free, instant advertising!
The factory leaders who have tasted the sweetness have provided the best and second-best products to AUO Hotel at more favorable prices, so as to achieve mutual benefit for both parties.
In this case, all the things in AUO Hotel are of high quality and low price, so you can eat a lot of wine and meat without a ticket on weekends, and you can buy many good things that are not usually easy to buy or even impossible to buy.
Not to mention the peasants on the outskirts of the city, even many workers and government workers in the city rushed to the restaurants, vying for consumption.
As a result, Donglai Hotel has no business to do.
Even if Sun Yaxing gritted his teeth and lowered the price later, he lost money every day to make preferential dishes, but he couldn't save Donglai Hotel, let alone steal the business of AUO Hotel.
In fact, Donglai Hotel initially lowered its price, offering daily specials like AUO Hotel, and when it didn't need tickets to consume on weekends, many customers came to the door.
However, the skills of the chefs in their restaurants are not as good as those of AUO Hotel; the dishes are not rich enough, the dishes are not novel and beautiful enough, and they are not fresh and delicious; the amount of meat and vegetables they cook is enough, but they are not delicious; most of the cigarettes and alcohol provided are low-grade products that can be bought outside without tickets, such as Moutai, Wuliangye, Peony Cigarettes, and other high-end tobacco and liquor; and the decoration and service are not as good as those of AUO Hotel......
Not to mention that inviting people to eat is not of sufficient grade, and it is uncomfortable to bring your own family to consume. I always feel that Donglai Hotel and AUO Hotel are too different, and the efficiency of the chef's stir-fry is not as high as that of AUO Hotel, and the taste is even worse than others.
To sum up, going to Donglai Hotel to spend money is completely about spending money to buy sin.
In the past, AUO hotels were not opened, and customers did not enjoy high-end services and dishes at similar prices, so that's it. Ask people to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and then go back to eat porridge and side dishes. This gap is too big, and no one can stand it.
Soon, most of the customers who were attracted by the low price and preferential treatment to Donglai Hotel were still regular customers, and they refused to come to the door again and went to AUO Hotel again.
Even if each dish is a few cents more expensive, they would rather spend a little more money and want to eat, drink and enjoy well.
It's all in the hotel, who cares about that little money.
People who go to the hotel every day are not short of that money at all. If you go to the hotel occasionally, you are prepared for heavy bleeding and don't mind spending a little more. You can't spend a lot of money and lose face and suffer again.
The guests said: Regardless of the food, the service staff of AUO Hotel have beautiful faces, good attitudes, smiles on their faces, and speak softly, like the sunshine in May, which makes their hearts warm. Even if they don't eat, they are willing to go and talk to people often.
When you go to other hotels, you don't have this kind of indiscriminate VIP treatment.
Even some hotel leaders have realized this and ordered the service staff in the store to learn from the people at AUO Hotels.
But they have been consciously superior to others for a long time, and they can't learn at all in a short period of time, and they can't put on a good attitude and posture, and they look nondescript, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable when they see them.
Donglai Hotel is by no means the first hotel in the city called AUO Hotel to run into a run with little business to do. But Sun Yaxing was the first person to dig out his mind and want to use a trick against Su Yi.
Before Sun Yaxing opened the Donglai Hotel, he mixed with the society for a period of time. When I was young, I used some unpopular means to circle money to open a restaurant. His wife is the daughter of a certain leader of the municipal party committee, and he is very good at black and white dishes in the local area.
Sun Yaxing is not afraid to go against Section Chief Fan and Director Hao. He doesn't know Su Yi and Yan Er's details, so he is even less afraid of them.
It's just that when he is prepared to do evil, he always takes one step, thinks three steps, and never fights unprepared battles.
All the conventional methods against AUO Hotel before were ineffective, making him realize that Su Yi and they were not easy to deal with.
The frequent attacks completely exposed him and his people, and also put many of his relationships on the bright side, making Su Yi and them wary, and they were more guarded, and there were almost no leaks to drill.
Sun Yaxing was worried that he couldn't find anyone to break into the interior of the AUO Hotel and collect information for him. By chance, I found Xu Xiangdang, who had a holiday with Su Yi and was pursuing the big girl with bad intentions. Sun Yaxing thought about it and came up with a brilliant idea.
At the beginning, Sun Yaxing also did some investigation on the AUO Hotel, and at that time he found out that Su Yi was the core of the entire hotel.
AUO's marketing methods to attract customers are all thought up by her. Suppliers or something, it is also the cooperation that she and Yan Er talked about together. One of the two sang black face, and the other sang white face, and Su Yi led the negotiation. The Bureau of Industry and Commerce only provided them with the opportunity to negotiate with the heads of various factories.
Not to mention that she later took the lead in building the largest farm in the city, and every day a lot of meat was carried out of the farm and sold to all parts of the city. The factory leaders in the city, who have difficulty buying and eating meat every year, threw olive branches to her.
Although Sun Yaxing has not read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", he has also read the villain books of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and knows that the thief will capture the king first. If he wants to deal with the AUO Hotel, the first thing to solve is Su Yi.
If you defeat Su Yi, it won't take much effort to go back to Yan Er and the Industrial and Commercial Department.
Sun Yaxing talked to his father-in-law, who had been in officialdom for more than 20 years, about his plan, and his father-in-law listened to it and scolded him for being stupid. Since Su Yi is going to be defeated, why do you want to go back to deal with Yan Er and the Industrial and Commercial Office?
Sun Yaxing's father-in-law told him that he could completely replace Su Yi and work with them. AUO's business is so good, making money like water, it's a fool who wants to bring it down.
Moreover, offending Yan Er, who has a big relationship in the provincial capital, and managing the industrial and commercial offices of the entire Zhanjiang City's factories and restaurants, will only do him bad for doing business, not good.
Sun Yaxing's father-in-law only knew that Yan Er had a relationship in the provincial capital, and he didn't know Xiao Yi's relationship, which was harder than Yan Er.
In order not to criticize him, Xiao Yi never disclosed his relationship with Dong Chengbin. Here in the city, except for a few old leaders of the public security, basically no one knows that he is Dong Chengbin's only nephew, no different from his son.
Unlike Yan Er, in order to compete with related households for the quota of a department store in the factory area, he was very high-profile and used his connections in the provincial capital. Many people in the provincial party committee know that he has a lot of background.
Although Sun Yaxing's father-in-law can speak well in the provincial party committee, he can't overstep his authority to manage the industrial and commercial department, otherwise he won't let people seize the handle and drive him down.
Sun Yaxing got the guidance of his father-in-law and pointed the finger at Su Yi. He thinks more and is more greedy than his father-in-law, and he also wants Su Yi's stake in the farm.
Xu Xiangdang was just a chess piece that Sun Yaxing accidentally got up with and put on the surface to attract Su Yi's attention. What he really did to deal with Su Yi was to have another big move.
……
"Big girl, my sister has been in contact with Xu Xiangdang, he is not right-minded, and he is not a good object. Su Yi paused, and still said: "Although I am not qualified to say this, I still hope that you will think about it more, and it is better to break up with him." ”
"Sister, I think he's just a little bit bragging, a little slippery, and everything else is fine. And I like his parents a lot...... Why do you say he's not right?"
The eldest girl felt that if she could find an object like Xu Xiangdang, she was already burning high incense. If you miss him and the Xu family, you may not be able to find such a good one in the future.
Seeing that Juanzi and Chunhua were about to pull the certificate to apply for wine, she was also a little anxious.
They all came out of the same place, and their ages and educational backgrounds were about the same, and Juanzi and Chunhua nested in the countryside without a future, and they all found such good objects. She and Su Yi came to the city to mingle, and they looked more glamorous, but they were always high and low. is getting older day by day, and she doesn't want to be an old girl who can't get married.
Su Yi told Xu Xiangdang's "ambition", she and Xu Xiangdang's holiday, and told her that Xu's father and mother were never so humble and kind on the surface.
The eldest girl looked hesitant, but in the end she still insisted on continuing to deal with Xu Xiangdang, "Since they don't have a good heart, I'm not easy to mess with! They found me who was useless, most likely to use me to deal with you." Sister, let's pretend not to know. I still get along with Xu Xiangdang as usual. What the hell are they going to do?"
Su Yi looked at the big girl with a fierce look in her eyes, and was stunned: This girl is not small in courage and temper, she is going to make trouble! Hehe, she is worthy of her sister-in-law.
Seeing that Su Yi didn't speak, Yingzi thought that she didn't agree, "Sister, don't worry about us." The big girl has played the whip very well now, and it is not a problem to deal with Xu Xiangdang at all. She is raping, and she will not let Xu Xiangdang bully. You just agree. I'll also be there to help the big girl. ”
"yes. The big girl grinded her teeth: "I just can't swallow this breath! It's just a matter of calculating it on my head, he still wants to deal with you." Isn't that looking for death?"
Yingzi straight: "Uh-huh".
Su Yi smiled: "Okay." But be careful what you do next. When you go out, tie the whip I bought for you around your waist. I've dealt with the whip head, and I've done a little trick. When others see and ask, you say that you are wearing a belt, and this style is popular in big cities. ”
"Hmm. The eldest girl and Yingzi nodded.
"By the way, Yingzi, tell me about your object. When are you alright? You didn't do anything you shouldn't do with anyone, did you?"
"No! I shook his hand twice. I'm not stupid enough to let him get into my pants!"
Su Yi was drinking water, so the girl was startled by her words, she choked and coughed, water flowed out of her nose and the corners of her mouth, and she coughed up tears.
The eldest girl couldn't cry or laugh, so she took a handkerchief and wiped the water for Su Yi.
Yingzi laughed and patted Su Yi on the back: "Sister, you drink slowly." What's the hurry? ”
"It's not all you. Su Yi laughed at her.
Yingzi continued: "Hao Daqiang works in a chemical factory, he is 21 years old, he is the second in the family, the first sister is married, and there is a younger brother who is about to enter the sixth grade of primary school. His parents are also workers in a chemical plant, and the family lives in the family building of the chemical plant, which is a small two-room apartment. The three of them go to work, the conditions are good, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. Hao Daqiang said that if I married him, he would apply for a single dormitory, and we would move out and live alone. I think it's pretty good. ”
"Hao Daqiang?" Su Yi thought for a while, "Is it Director Hao and his nephew? How did you go with him? His family, don't you object to your relationship?"
"No objection. I haven't met his family yet. We only got to the point of meeting our parents a few years ago. Yingzi knocked melon seeds and said: "He often comes to the restaurant for dinner, often chats with me, chats and chats, and tells me about his family and personal situation, and asks me if I want to deal with someone else? I saw that others were honest, easy to handle, and the conditions were good in all aspects, so I agreed to be with him everywhere. As for whether you can get a household register, let's see again. ”
