Chapter 125: Disaster after Disaster
Lei Xiao has been under a lot of pressure in the past two days, since Zheng Jing no longer asked about the jewelry store, Lei Longtang is Lei Xiao alone, it is his credit to do well, and it is all his responsibility to do badly.
Lei Xiao is also competitive, of course he hopes that he can read and run the Lei Dragon Hall well, but things often backfire.
"Boss, what's going on with Ho's Jewelry? Hurry up and ask. One of Lei Xiao's assistants said with a somewhat anxious expression.
Just yesterday, He's Jewelry, which has been buying diamonds from Lei Long Tang, suddenly cut off this channel for some reason, and did not explain the reason, which made Lei Long Tang panic, you must know that the long-term supply cooperation of providing diamonds to He Jewelry can be said to be the most stable income of Lei Long Tang, and if there is no stable source of income, it will be a huge blow to Lei Long Tang.
"Got it, I'll figure it out." Lei Xiao sat behind the counter, his hands on his head, his face gloomy, the bad news of the past two days was not only this.
Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in the capital that are unfavorable to them, such as the lack of gold purity in their Lei Long Hall, the lack of diamonds, etc., although the customers who really come to the door can see at a glance that the quality of the things sold in their store is absolutely fine, but as the saying goes, three people become tigers, and the more such rumors spread, it will always have a great impact on their business.
There is also a problem on the books, Lei Longtang supplies more than one jewelry store He Jewelry, and these stores more or less owe Lei Longtang a little money has not been settled, originally such a debt should be settled soon, but in the past two days, those stores have been very tacitly collectively delayed again and again, and some bosses would rather owe these money for a few more days and give more interest, rather than pay off the payment.
Lei Longtang is now about to open a new store, and it is the time when money is needed, so the funds have become a little tight.
"Yongzi, you have a clever brain, help me think about what we should do now?" Lei Xiao, who was a little confused, asked Zou Yong, who was standing on the side.
Zou Yong was stunned when he heard this, and he wanted to show himself in front of the boss, but he hadn't gone to school much, and he didn't know anything about business management, so he really didn't have a clue how to solve the current problems of Lei Longtang.
In the end, he touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Don't embarrass me, boss, just what can I come up with?" I'd better go ahead and sell my Viagra. ”
Zou Yong slowly withdrew from the lobby, with his ability, even if he wanted to break his head with Lei Xiao here, he couldn't come up with a useful opinion, it was a waste of time, besides, after Zheng Jing gave him a sufficient amount of goods, now that his magic aphrodisiac business was done smoothly, and there was no difficulty, why leave such an easy errand and not do it to focus on some thankless work?
"Ugh." Lei Xiao sighed, looking at the employees of the Thunder Dragon Hall who came and went around him, these are all brothers who were under him during the Thunder Dragon Gang, in terms of loyalty, they have no problem at all, and they are definitely hard enough, but these rough people let them go out to collect a protection fee and cut down an enemy, and it can also ensure that no one dares to come to their store to find fault, but in terms of store management, their ability is really very worrying.
Why don't I even have someone around me who can help with advice? Lei Xiao suddenly felt very depressed, obviously the current state of Lei Long Hall is no different from when Zheng Jing was there before, after all, even if Zheng Jing was in Lei Long Hall, he basically didn't take care of things when he was in Lei Long Hall, he always stood in front of the stage to operate, but now that Zheng Jing is not here, he always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say it.
"Oh no! Oh no, boss, come and have a look! An employee of the Thunder Dragon Hall hurriedly rushed through the door, still holding a newspaper in his hand.
Lei Xiao frowned, he didn't understand what else he thought could make him so anxious except for the sky falling, and just as he wanted to ask clearly, the man had already rushed to him and handed him the newspaper.
This is a local newspaper in the capital, and when he saw the content of the newspaper's headline, Lei Xiao's hand shook and almost tore the newspaper apart.
I saw that the newspaper headline was impressively written - "The grand opening of the Beijing Jewelry Exchange and Sales Conference, all the well-known jewelry companies in the capital were present".
And the time marked in the newspaper is today!
In the past, if an exhibition like this was held in the capital, Lei Xiao, who was the shopkeeper of Lei Long Hall, would definitely know in advance, and Lei Long Tang had participated in a lot of such exhibitions before, and he had never failed to inform them.
And this time, an exhibition of such a large scale was held at the doorstep, and Lei Xiao didn't know it at all.
Looking at the pictures in the newspaper, the owners of the major jewelry stores in the capital were all present, and some time ago, Lei Xiao still said that he was drinking with them, but none of them came to tell Lei Xiao the news.
Obviously, he was isolated, and Lei Longtang was also isolated by these peers.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't make Lei Xiao anything, but when he saw a few photos of the jewelry displayed on the scene behind the news, Lei Xiao's forehead suddenly turned blue, and he couldn't help but tear the newspaper in his hand into countless pieces.
The fragments of the newspaper slowly fell to the ground like snowflakes, and one of the relatively complete fragments happened to be a photo, and the necklace worn by the model around the neck of the photo was actually very similar to the signboard in the Thunder Dragon Hall, those jewelry from the Dragon God Continent!
The only difference is that the things inlaid on the necklace have been replaced by high-grade emerald gemstones from the Dragon God Continent to Myanmar jadeite, and the rest of the material of the chain or the lines on the backing are exactly the same as a necklace that Lei Longtang just sold not long ago.
The main reason for the popularity of Lei Long Tang is that these unique styles of jewelry, and it has always been the only one, everyone knows that if you want this style of jewelry, you can only come to Lei Long Tang to buy, but now there are imitations, this is okay?
"It's just too deceitful!" Lei Xiao clenched his fists, at this time, how could he not understand that Lei Longtang was being targeted by these peers? But he felt deeply powerless, the entire jewelry circle in the capital stood against him, what could he fight against?
By the way, he still has branches!
Lei Xiao's eyes suddenly released a light of hope, Lei Longtang's new store is about to open, and when the time comes, it will have a bigger venue, a better location, and the treasure of the new town store that Zheng Jing promised him, with these, it means greater influence! As long as they can stand their ground in this turmoil, even if their counterparts in the entire capital are enemies of them, they will not be able to defeat them easily.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a series of footsteps came into Lei Xiao's ears, and he subconsciously raised his head, just in time to see a group of people in uniform entering the lobby and walking straight towards this side.
"Are you the person in charge of this store?" The group came to the counter, and the person who took the lead glanced at Lei Xiao and said in an aggressive tone.
Lei Xiao nodded: "I am, is there something wrong?" ”
"Hello, we are from the tax bureau, someone has reported you for tax evasion, please let us check the accounts here." (To be continued.) )
