Chapter 420: Merchant Alliance
Zhang Yungang's order is very simple, he only needs to move his mouth, but Guo Yufeng, Chen Hongbing and other people who execute this order have made a big difficulty!
There is no choice but to get together for a meeting and discuss countermeasures!
This "meeting" was arranged in the conference room of the Green Field Farm, and the participants were Guo Yufeng, Chen Qingdong, Chen Hongbing, and Zheng Hongtao.
Although a meeting is a matter that has been criticized by countless people, it is undoubtedly the most effective way to discuss something or when the situation is issued.
Due to the absence of Zhang Yungang in this meeting, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, but the mood of several of them was much heavier than the last time.
Before the four of them held a meeting to discuss countermeasures, Chen Qingdong went to Liu Chun in order to understand the situation more clearly.
Liu Chun has made a reputation for several of his signature dishes since he was led by Chen Qingdong, and later because of Zhao Changbin's recommendation, he has since received the support of Wei Hailong, the secretary of the town party committee at that time, so that he opened a Liujia restaurant in front of the town government compound in Shuangshan Town, and was also designated by Wei Hailong as the designated hotel of the Shuangshan town government, and has since embarked on the road to success.
Originally, Liu Chun rented the storefront, but two months ago, Liu Chun, who had made money, spent a lot of money, as if he had repaid some loans, and bought this two-story building with eight houses on a single floor plus a yard.
And this time the road was expanded, and the house newly bought by Liu Chun was also within the scope, so it was also included in the demolition plan for the renovation of the market town, and Liu Chun and Wei Laosi, another big hotel owner in Shuangshan Town, were the two people who were most affected in this demolition plan because of their large number of faΓ§ade houses.
Moreover, Chen Qingdong also learned from the grapevine that Wei Laosi and Liu Chun, two people who were incompatible in order to grab business, stood together for the common interests this time and became two of the leaders of the "Merchant Alliance"!
Despite this, in the process of contact with Liu Chun, Chen Qingdong has clearly found that Liu Chun is very smart, very upright, and has a strong sense of the overall situation, which is completely different from the mercenary Wei Laosi.
Therefore, Chen Qingdong is confident that he will open a breakthrough from Liu Chun.
With such an idea, Chen Qingdong came to Liu's Hotel.
Although recently, the demolition of the market has caused an uproar in the entire Shuangshan Town, but after all, the official construction has not yet begun, so the Liujia Hotel is still operating normally, and the guests are full, and the business is very good.
Liu Chun was originally the only stir-fry master in the restaurant, but as his business got better and better, he couldn't cope with it alone, so he found two stir-fry masters with good skills at a high price, but several signature dishes in the restaurant, such as pot chicken, stir-fried lamb, Mao Xuewang, etc., have always been in charge of Liu Chun himself.
When Chen Qingdong came to Liu's restaurant, Liu Chun was frying a lamb in the kitchen, although it was already a cold winter, but Liu Chun was still hot and sweaty, so he wiped his face with the towel hanging around his neck.
Chen Qingdong stood at the door of the kitchen and greeted with a smile: "Boss Liu, you're busy, business is very good." β
Liu Chun turned his head and saw that it was Chen Qingdong, so he immediately smiled and said, "Mayor Chen, are you here to eat?" I'll find someone to arrange for you to sit down first, and I'll take charge of all the dishes you want!"
"If you don't eat today, I'll come to talk to you. Chen Qingdong said.
Liu Chun obviously knew what Chen Qingdong meant, so he pondered a little and said, "Okay, Mayor Chen, then you can sit down first, and I'll go to you after I finish frying this dish!"
"Okay, you get busy with yours first, I'll wait for you. β
"Okay, Mayor Chen, soon, five minutes at most!"
Chen Qingdong walked to the back yard, lit a cigarette under a big plane tree, and smoked slowly.
As soon as he finished smoking a cigarette, Chen Qingdong saw Liu Chun coming over.
"Done?" said Chen Qingdong with a smile.
"It's over, it's over!" Liu Chun said in a loud voice, then took out a box of Furong King, took out one and handed it to Chen Qingdong, and said, "Mayor Chen, smoke." β
After Chen Qingdong took the cigarette, Liu Chun immediately lit the lighter and came to Chen Qingdong.
"I didn't smoke it yet, I just smoked one. Chen Qingdong said while knocking the cigarette butt in the palm of his hand.
Liu Chun was not reluctant, he lit a cigarette by himself, took a puff, and said bluntly: "Mayor Chen, I know what you came to me for. β
Seeing that Liu Chun said so refreshingly, Chen Qingdong didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "Liu Chun, I know that this matter has a great impact on you, but at such a critical time, I hope you will make the right choice." You're a smart person, don't do anything stupid. β
Liu Chun smiled bitterly and said a little gloomily: "Mayor Chen, do you know how much money I invested in this restaurant? β
"I know. Chen Qingdong said, "How can I say it, you just caught up with this matter, and no one can complain." Building roads and renovating the market is something that Secretary Zhang has already made, and no one can change it. Let me tell you this, whether you want to demolish or not, this hotel will definitely still be demolished. No matter if you boycott, petition, or huddle together for warmth, you can't change the result in the end. β
Listening to Chen Qingdong's words, Liu Chun just lowered his head slightly, smoked in a muffled voice, and there seemed to be no expression on his face, but Chen Qingdong could see that Liu Chun was in pain.
Chen Qingdong's heart softened a little, and immediately hardened again, and said bluntly: "Liu Chun, tell me the truth, what's going on with your 'merchant alliance'? Are you the leader inside?"
"Hehe, Mayor Chen, let me tell you the truth, there is such a thing as the 'Merchant Alliance', but I am not a leader, the real leaders are Wei Laosi and Tang Xueli. They also got an autograph, and in that kind of scene, everyone had to sign it, and if they didn't sign it, they would definitely be beaten on the spot, so I signed it. Because I have a lot of front rooms, I signed in front, but I'm really not the leader. Liu Chun said seriously.
Chen Qingdong pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Chun, I believe in you. β
Liu Chun didn't seem to have much interest in the topic that Chen Qingdong said, sighed, and said: "Mayor Chen, we have known each other for a long time, I have always admired you and respected you very much, I don't want to tell lies in front of you." Mayor Chen, according to the demolition standard given by the Green Field Breeding Company, it is really ...... It's too low, and if I agree to the demolition, I'm going to lose money. If the loss is not much, even if it is 8,000 yuan, I will admit it! But I still have to include my decoration expenses, and I have to take into account my business for a long time, if I calculate it according to my daily turnover, it is estimated that the loss will be more than 120,000 yuan. β
Chen Qingdong thinks that Liu Chun is telling the truth, but this truth is based on the fact that after Liu Chun's house was demolished, he did not do business until he moved back to the new house, so he may lose more than 120,000 yuan.
It is true that if it is demolished according to this mark, Liu Chun will definitely have to pay a lot of compensation for the decoration costs invested in the hotel, but can he not do business for so long?
This is obviously impossible, and Liu Chun naturally won't fail to understand this, so Liu Chun's truth is actually a bit of a joke.
Chen Qingdong put the cigarette in his mouth again and said, "Liu Chun, you better light the cigarette for me." β
Liu Chun was stunned for a moment, but quickly took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Chen Qingdong.
Chen Qingdong took a hard puff, and after slowly exhaling the smoke, he said: "Liu Chun, let's not talk about that for now, I'll just ask you, after your hotel is demolished, before you move back, what are you going to do? Idle every day to play cards, sleep, or go out to work?"
Liu Chun's face blushed for a moment, and then he sneered: "Mayor Chen, to be honest, I haven't thought about what to do yet. β
Chen Qingdong said: "Liu Chun, if you haven't thought about it, let's think about it together." In this way, let me ask you a question first, how many hotels are there in our Shuangshan Town now?"
Liu Chun was a little confused about Chen Qingdong's question, but he still thought about it and said, "There are seven or eight of them...... There are also some big pots of rice in some villages, but they only start the fire during the red and white celebrations, so they are not restaurants. β
Chen Qingdong asked again: "Liu Chun, then do you think about how many restaurants there are on our street?"
"There are five...... Liu Chun said a little unconfidently, but he was wondering what Chen Qingdong wanted to say?
"Well, there are five. Chen Qingdong flicked off the ashes and said, "I have already told you just now, the matter of repairing the road and returning to the assembly site was made by Secretary Zhang, and it will be carried out no matter what." As a result, all five restaurants on this street have to be demolished, and it seems that there are only two or three restaurants left in our town. However, the number of restaurants has decreased, but the number of people in our town has not decreased, and the number of people who go to restaurants to eat has not decreased. Moreover, with the demolition, the construction of the market, the construction of roads, and the ecological park project under the two barren mountains, there will be a lot of outsiders in our town at once, and these outsiders are usually idle and have nothing to do, will they drink alcohol? Do you think they will cook their own food? Obviously not! In this way, how big will the market of the restaurant become? Liu Chun, you are such a smart person, you have not thought about this problem?"
As soon as Chen Qingdong's words fell, Liu Chun's eyes immediately lit up!
Liu Chun is indeed a smart person, but due to his limited knowledge and limited knowledge, he is only smart and smart, and his vision can only see a few steps in front of him.
Having a good relationship with people in the government will help make his business better, which Liu Chun knows very well.
However, before the real market arrived, he did not show more vision than others.
In fact, since the news of the demolition came out, he has been immersed in the question of how much he will lose after the hotel he just bought is demolished, and although he has not shown his head in the merchant alliance, he also hopes that the merchant alliance can play a role and make the demolition stillborn, so he has not looked forward at all, in fact, there is a bigger market in front of him!
But when he listened to Chen Qingdong's words, he suddenly realized that his previous vision was too short-sighted, and he only saw the gains and losses in front of him, but he couldn't calm down and think about whether he could get more after losing these!
