Early in the morning, a neighborhood in the center of Ishikawa.

A succession of cars drove into the community and parked in front of a row of townhouses, followed by several hurried people holding briefcases towards one of the villas.

This is the residence of Wu Qingcheng's father, Wu Xiangrui, and since handing over the food city property to his son, the former Ishikawa food tycoon has single-mindedly begun to practice calligraphy with his grandson at home.

I thought that such a leisurely retirement life would continue forever, but since yesterday, Wu Xiangrui's previous quiet time has been disrupted by company affairs again.

After receiving his son Wu Qingcheng's request for help, he had to go into battle again at the age of 60 and return to the mall to deal with the threat of his former enemy Li Mo.

Just as Wu Xiangrui and his son were sitting in the dining room, eating breakfast and discussing how to prevent Li Mo's counterattack, a sharp knock on the door sounded.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the nanny, several people hurriedly walked directly to the restaurant, and after a brief greeting, they began to report the problems they encountered

"Mr. Wu, we have just received a joint application from tenants, saying that there is a problem with our lease contract, requiring us to reduce the rent of the shop by 10% according to the earliest agreement, otherwise we will surrender the lease..."

“… Our three newly opened meat stalls were suddenly inspected by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau last night, saying that we have incomplete licenses and cannot operate for the time being, and we need to continue to complete the documents..."

"The other two meat shops were also found to have problems with the health department, and they had to close down for rectification, and the goods were lost a lot, and if they were not disposed of as soon as possible, they would probably be lost in their hands..."

“… The seafood supplier temporarily informed several truckloads of goods on the way to the city because of the license plate and the driver's reason was seized by the traffic police, I am afraid that the goods will not be available for a while. ”

"There is information that Mingzhu and Haifeng have begun to contact our bulk customers, intending to dig up the wall from us, and they seem to have some internal business data..."

"Many of our employees have also suddenly started to change jobs, and if we don't stop it, I'm afraid there will be a serious shortage of manpower..."

"In addition, our two factories under construction had to be suspended due to land reasons, and the village that had already negotiated transferred the land to another company on the grounds that our conditions were not enough, and issued a notice asking us to demolish the buildings that had been built, otherwise we would arrange for the city management to deal with it..."

"A new store in Nanshan District that was about to be negotiated was also snatched away, and it is said that the newly opened Yaoxiang Manju is competing with us for this storefront, and one of the stores has been handed over to the police station because a group of customers have smashed tables and chairs, and there has been no reply for the time being..."

…

Without waiting for Wu Xiangrui to open his mouth to ask one by one, a series of negative news was reported by the executives of these companies one after another, like bombs exploding in the ears of the father and son.

Wu Qingcheng, who was originally accompanying his father to dinner to discuss his business strategy, was also a little dumbfounded for a while when he heard such news, and he didn't react for a long time with his mouth open.

Even if his group of managers hadn't said who their guessed opponents were, he had already vaguely thought of something in his heart, only to feel a sudden coldness in his heart - over, he was still a step late.

Immediately afterwards, one of them confirmed Wu Qingcheng's speculation, "The one who grabbed the land with us is also a newly opened catering company, the name has not been heard, but it also belongs to the AACC group I don't know why, this company suddenly pointed its guns at us, I suspect that the internal information of Xingmao obtained by our other opponents is also planned behind the scenes by AACC..."

"Alas, what should have come is still coming."

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Wu Xiangrui stared at the breakfast in front of him and sighed lightly.

When he heard the word AACC, he already completely understood what had befallen him.

When Li Mo was unexpectedly involved in the competition for his own industry, he also secretly instructed Wu Qingcheng not to let Li Mo develop no matter what, and not to leave a disaster.

But along the way, I didn't expect that the tripping ropes set up by myself alone or in conjunction with others not only did not trip Li Mo's dark horse, but made him run faster and faster, jumping higher and higher.

As soon as he received a call from his son Wu Qingcheng, he had this kind of speculation, and now when everything happened suddenly like a dream, he completely broke off his mind about luck.

"Dad... Do you want to stop calling Director Zhao of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? I told him that I was going to do that..."

Thinking of the way Li Mo looked at himself like a prey in the restaurant that day, Wu Qingcheng only felt that a layer of cold sweat began to break out in his palms again, and he kept regretting in his heart, why did he have to drill into the tiger's den that day.

If he hadn't met Li Mo, the other party might not have remembered this incident... Even if I think about it later, I can delay it a little longer...

"It's useless, they pay more taxes than we do, and you know what it means to be in business for so long..."

Wu Xiangrui shook his head, he had already heard of the name of AACC, he saw six ways, punched all directions, and every time he attacked an industry, he almost had to become the leader of the industry, just like an all-round devil.

Now this enterprise is not only the pride of Ishikawa, but also the glory of Beihe, if Li Mo is willing, it is not a difficult thing to directly enter the compound of the provincial party committee.

In this case, it is simply impossible to expect a few municipal bureau-level leaders to dominate the provincial capital in the past.

If the other party really makes a real effort, I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to discuss it here, maybe the police have already taken their old bottom and directly came to arrest people.

"He didn't actually come for us this time..."

Having been in business for half his life, Wu Xiangrui obviously looked much farther than his son, who only coveted immediate interests, and after thinking about it, he came to his own conclusion, "According to their usual style, AACC's opponents should be Starbucks, KFC and other catering industry giants, as for us... It's just a trophy of revenge..."

"So we're going to sit there and wait for them to crush us to death?"

Although he was afraid of AACC who was like a Tyrannosaurus rex, Wu Qingcheng still had a trace of unwillingness in his heart, "Anyway, we also have an asset, even if we fight for our lives, they can't just eat us so easily, this guy won't do it casually, right?" ”

"I suggest that it is best for Mr. Wu to talk to them in person, now our most profitable seafood has been about to be stifled by the other party, not only the supply of raw materials has been interrupted for various reasons, but the only remaining storage has also begun to be seized, you know, the official really wants to investigate, anyone can be found out of the problem."

Ding Sheng, the person in charge of catering, who had been standing next to him and staring at the reaction of the father and son, spoke.

However, from his eyes, there is no pessimism that the company is about to go bankrupt, on the contrary, a calm with schadenfreude.

As the number one, Ding Sheng naturally has a lot of inside information, and it seems to be hinting at something at this time.

"You mean to make me kill myself in front of him with a knife in my hand as a way of apologizing?"

Hearing this, Wu Qingcheng was a little excited, "Who are you from?" ”

"How big has been the impact on our seafood business?"

After signaling Wu Qingcheng not to speak again, Wu Xiangrui stared at the catering leader and asked.

"Affected by peers and shops, it is optimistically estimated that it will fall by 40% of the year-on-year profit, and in addition, the liquidity of our department is only more than 2 million, which is not enough to pay for the next quarter's orders, and the company's appropriation is needed..."

"How can there be so much left? Could it be that our prosperity is usually dreamed and slept? Are you kid taking kickbacks and embezzlement?! ”

Hearing that not only did profits fall sharply, but even there was only so much liquidity left, Wu Qingcheng almost jumped like thunder.

"These expenses are on the books in order to deal with the squeezed goods on hand and to pay off all kinds of emergency debts." Hearing this, Ding Sheng still said flatly, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If Mr. Wu still has such a prejudice against me, you can directly fire me and find another talent." ”

"You..."

Wu Qingcheng was almost angry by the other party's words.

"Okay, calm down, now is not the time for infighting!"

Seeing that the opponent had not yet shown up, and his side was already in chaos, Wu Xiangrui scolded loudly, "We have all seen Manager Ding's efforts, don't say anything about dismissal at this time, the company has passed this hurdle, you will definitely be the heroes and benefactors of the company, I will not treat you badly." ”

After saying this, Wu Xiangrui asked for a copy of the information from a person next to him, thought for a long time, and then said, "Obviously, they are coming to our factory and store, Manager Wang, you go to talk to them privately on my behalf, first give our three meat processing factories to each other as an apology, see if it works, if he still doesn't agree, give the remaining two factories and stores except Xingmao City to each other." ”

"Dad, this is sixty percent of our industry, and it is enough for other competitors to eat us if they are given to him!"

Hearing this, Wu Qingcheng became excited again, "Otherwise, just leave it alone, I'll fight with this kid directly." ”

"What do you fight, do you want to break your family?"

Wu Xiangrui, who has always remained calm, also raised his voice twice, "Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of water to drink, he can rely on a broken stationery factory to develop, can't we make a comeback?" Even if you are really eaten by your opponent when you turn around, it is a decent merger and acquisition, can it be the same as being swallowed by someone now? ”

Although he said this verbally, Wu Xiangrui had to admit in his heart that now he has long lost the momentum of his son Wu Qingcheng, and the reason why he did this is also to leave a decent coffin money, so that he will not go bankrupt and end up on the streets.

However, just when the Wu family was full of sorrow, the arrival of another person made the situation enter another tense situation in an instant.

"Mr. Wu, a gentleman outside who claims to be surnamed Lu said that he wants to meet you and talk about some affairs."

The nanny, who had already been frightened by the quarrel in the restaurant, walked in again and reported cautiously.

"Mr. Lu? Where did Mr. Lu come from? Don't see us talking about something important? Let him fuck off! ”

Wu Qingcheng, who was angry and had nowhere to go, roared directly at his nanny.

"He said that a boss named Li Mo sent him, that... I'll let him go..."

Seeing Wu Qingcheng's angry appearance, the nanny responded nervously and retreated.

“… I... , come back, let him wait. ”

Wu Qingcheng, who had finally vented his anger, heard the name of the visitor, and instantly felt a burst of internal injury from his own words, and couldn't help but burst into foul language in front of his own son, "Tell him that we will go out." (To be continued.) )
