Chapter 423: The Second Branch Opens and Encounters Trouble

Located on Jinmaqiao Street in Xicheng District, the second branch of Youran Farm Bun Shop opened on a Saturday morning in mid-May after careful preparation.

The new branch has two floors, with a business area of about 120 square meters, as well as a kitchen, warehouse and office of 50 square meters. The store manager is Xu Wenfeng, with a total of 13 employees.

The composition of the staff is still in the form of the old with the new, the head office dispatches a few, and another part is recruited, and the post is trained and then hired.

As for food production, it is still the same as before, and the logistics department of the main store goes out every day to transport the prepared bun fillings and special water to the branch, and then the kitchen master of the branch will process the finished product.

The first branch of Shen'an Street in the north of the city has been implementing this model for a long time and has proven to be effective and very efficient.

The opening ceremony of the new store is still low-key, with two red banners hanging, four flower baskets placed at the door, and only one event with a 20% discount on the day of consumption is arranged in the store.

However, due to the fact that the first two bun shops have been in business for a long time, the reputation has more or less spread to Xicheng District, and it is located in a prosperous commercial area, so there is no cold situation on the opening day, although the business of the whole day is not much hot, but it is also quite good.

The owner, Li Youran, also came to the opening site, but only stayed for half an hour. After a brief chat with Xu Wenfeng, he believed in his abilities and encouraged him to work hard, and then drove away from the backyard.

For the next few days, the branch was open as normal. With delicious food and a clean and tidy dining environment, the flow of people began to increase gradually.

The store manager, Xu Wenfeng, is also full of ambition and is determined to run the store as prosperous as the first branch.

Unexpectedly, at this time, trouble came to the door.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Youran was surfing the Internet in the new office on the third floor of the Baozipu South Store, looking up the relevant information of Wenwan Walnut.

The new office is on the east side, that is, in the direction of the backyard of the bun shop, which is much quieter than the previous street.

At this moment, Aunt Qi knocked on the door and came in, her face pale. Tell him the second branch is in trouble.

"Haven't the departments of fire protection, health, and industry and commerce all been dealt with over there? Is there any more missing? Li Youran asked strangely, before the opening of the new branch, it was still very well prepared, and all the relevant yamen sent people to worship the door.

"It's not these, it's the thugs on the street who are causing trouble." Aunt Qi sat down on the sofa at his suggestion and reported the situation in detail.

It turned out that yesterday morning, three gangsters who claimed to be the Black Panther Gang came to the door and claimed that Jinmaqiao Street was their territory. All the shops here are in charge of the covers, so they should charge a certain protection fee. He also said that the steamed bun shop was doing a prosperous business, and he opened his mouth to offer a price of 8,000 yuan per month.

The store manager Xu Wenfeng came forward to deal with him, but he couldn't talk. The three thugs then began to wreak havoc in the store, lying on the dining table and chairs, spitting. Cigarette butts were littered, and he took off his shirt to reveal the tattoo on his arm, which scared away many customers.

Xu Wenfeng was very annoyed, so he asked the guy to call the police.

After receiving the police, the local police station waited for half an hour before sending someone over. As soon as I saw the police car. The thugs immediately sat back down on their dining chairs. When Xu Wenfeng led the police to identify him, they said that they were here for dinner, and they were full of rules, and any extortion was pure fiction.

The police only lightly admonished the three people, and the thugs got up and left after making assurances. But according to Xu Wenfeng's observations, he thinks that these people should know each other. I'm afraid it's not going to be that easy.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the three thugs made a comeback with an even worse attitude, saying that the Black Panther Gang had deep roots in the west of the city, and they could eat both black and white, and if the bun shop toasted and didn't eat and drink, don't blame them for being polite. …,

Xu Wenfeng had no choice but to be vain. It means that there is no such expense in the store, and it needs to be reported to the head office for approval. It's good to talk about it, so that the gangsters agreed to a grace period of two days.

Hearing this, Li Youran also roughly understood what was going on.

Doing business outside, this kind of thing will inevitably happen, but the guys' mouths are a little wider.

He frowned, thinking about what to do.

can't give in, most of the gangsters and hooligans are not trustworthy, their desires are difficult to fill, and there is no end to the beginning. It has to be cleaned up hard.

But they are all civilized people on their side, and of course they can't do it directly, and they don't conform to the rules. Then the only way is to find a way.

So, he told Aunt Qi what he meant.

Aunt Qi also nodded in agreement, and suggested talking to Old Man Fang.

"Forget it, Old Man Fang has already helped a lot, don't keep bothering others. By the way, look for Lao Hao, I heard that he not only stayed in the industrial and commercial department, but also had a shallow relationship with the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Li Youran shook his head and changed his goal.

Old man Hao has now become a frequent visitor to the teahouse, eating and drinking every day, and also enjoying the four-fold gold card. It's not too much to ask him for help.

Aunt Qi said that her old man was familiar with Old Man Hao, so let him come forward. There is also He Lingling, the manager of the teahouse, who looks up every day and doesn't look down, so he can speak better.

Li Youran thought about it for a while, then agreed, and the two discussed for a while, and decided to send Uncle Qi and He Lingling together to find Old Man Hao to explain the situation.

The details were negotiated, and Aunt Qi immediately got up and said goodbye and left.

Two days later, the news came, and the matter was settled.

Xu Wenfeng followed the phone number left by the gangsters and asked them to come to the door to negotiate after the bun shop closed, hoping that the price would be more favorable.

Without alarming the local police station, the Xicheng Public Security Bureau directly sent people to the Jinmaqiao Baozipu branch to ambush. Small recording and camera equipment was placed in the hidden part of the hall.

Waiting for the three gangsters of the Black Panther Gang to come to the door, Xu Wenfeng was accompanied by a guy to talk with them, and in the process, he deliberately guided them to say something weighty.

The negotiations quickly collapsed, and the thugs attacked on the spot, and even took out the control guy to threaten him. At this moment, the police in ambush suddenly rushed out and captured them in one fell swoop.

At that time, electric batons were also used to greet each other on the grounds that the other party resisted arrest by force. Screams rang out again and again.

The police officer who led the team checked the audio and video recordings and expressed his satisfaction, saying that the evidence of armed extortion was hard enough, and this was enough for a few guys to drink a pot.

The three thugs were then handcuffed and stuffed into a police car parked in the backyard and taken away.

Xu Wenfeng expressed his gratitude to the police officer who led the team.

The trouble was resolved smoothly, and the steamed bun shop branch resumed normal operations.

Li Youran was also very happy to learn the whole story, and instructed He Lingling to invite Old Man Hao and Old Man Fang to enter the private room to taste the big red robe, and Han Yueying was in charge of serving as the tea master.
