Heilan Tie blushed his face in the factory to inspect the situation, the batch of goods sold in the morning was sold yesterday, and it was directly put on the market without inspection, and the new slush made today is also salty, the problem lies in the sugar, the sugar powder is mixed with salt, Heilan quickly thinks about various possibilities, this is by no means a worker's mistake, the same raw materials are used in the past few days, why didn't there be an accident a few days ago, and put salt in the slush sold yesterday, this is obviously someone deliberately sabotage, who is it? Who did it! Heilan was very angry in his heart, and something happened within a few days of the slush being sold, who would dare to buy his things in the future.

"Who was the last to leave yesterday, and who was in charge of the vigil last night, check them one by one."

Hai Jiu, who was following Hailan, was frightened, he was the archdeacon of the entire Hai family's inn and catering industry, he was the ultimate responsible for this incident, and when he heard the master's order, he hurriedly whispered: "Master, I think this matter may not have been done by insiders."

Heilan turned around abruptly: "Why? What's your reason? ”

"Master, there are dozens of catties of salt mixed in this powdered sugar, and the people who come to work every day must go through a strict search before entering, and it is impossible to bring in dozens of catties of salt, as for the people sent to keep vigil, they are all carefully selected people by the third master, loyalty should not be a problem, and no one has suddenly disappeared now, so the subordinates think that this should not be done by insiders, and it is very likely that someone sneaked into the workshop at night."

"And who do you think did it?"

"It stands to reason that it should be Li Qing, but his subordinates think that he doesn't have this ability, even if he can spend money to hire a master, but he will definitely not be able to find where our workshop is, and now Chengdu has this manpower and is not in harmony with the master, only the Shi family and the Tang family."

The slush factory is extremely secretive, and the daily products are first sent to Haifu, and then transported to various places on the streets of Chengdu by the distribution carriage, and it is impossible to find this place without mastering a large amount of manpower, so Haijiu's speculation is not unreasonable.

But Hailan sneered: "You are wrong, I have dealt with the Shi family and the Tang family for decades, if they did it, they should put arsenic or croton, it is by no means as simple as salt, this person is still a little immature, spicy but not poisonous, this matter must be done by Li Qing, because only he knows that the slush is made with powdered sugar, as for how he knows the location of the workshop." Heilan's cold eyes swept over everyone, "It must be someone of us who revealed it." ”

The entire workshop was silent, and even the nervous heartbeat of everyone could be heard.

Heilan suddenly remembered that night in front of the Wangjiang Restaurant saw the sky in the sea, and sighed secretly if he realized something: "People say that brothers are like siblings, but this is false!" ”

"Master, we don't have sugar anymore, and now the price of cane sugar has suddenly exploded, do you want to temporarily stop work for a few days?"

"Sugar prices are skyrocketing?" Hailan was surprised, he glanced at Hai Jiudao: "What's going on?" ”

"The specific reason is that the subordinates do not know, these days in Chengdu on the sucrose sugar suddenly out of stock, causing the price of sucrose sugar, our cost is ten yuan, if you buy according to the current sugar price, it may rise to fifteen yuan, so we lose too much, the subordinate means to temporarily stop work for a few days, and wait for new sugar to buy before production, or we increase the price of slush."

Heilan suddenly realized that he was so vicious and spicy, first controlling the sugar source, and then destroying his own sugar storage, trying to cut off the production of slush from the root, and now his slush has had an accident, if the sudden suspension of production confirms that the rumors are true, it will not be successful! He must not be allowed to succeed.

"In any case, we can't stop production, we must do everything we can to get sugar, regardless of the price, and we must use our own channels to purchase directly from Yangzhou, fast! As for the price of slush," Heilan pondered for a moment and said, "The price remains the same, it's still Wuwen." ”

The next day, the raw materials were purchased and put into production again, but the price of sugar became extremely high, which made the cost of Haijia slush rise sharply, but in order to compete for the market and completely defeat the Wangjianglou slush, Haijia is still not affected by rumors, and with strong strength, it still maintains a low price of five cents.

But at this moment, the third punch of Li Qing's combination punch quietly shot.

In the early morning of this day, the sky was gray, there were few pedestrians near the Xima Bridge, only some vegetable sellers, hawkers who sold breakfast food came out of the stall early, someone suddenly found that a huge sign was moved out of the Wangjiang Restaurant, several hawkers dropped the stall and ran straight over, and a person who knew how to read read out loud: 'Wangjiang Restaurant slush recipe and production method!' ’

Underneath it is densely filled with the ingredients needed, how to make ice, cones, and how to make slush, all of which are open to the public in broad daylight.

This is like a bombshell suddenly exploded in the sky over Chengdu, the shock wave spread rapidly to the Wangjiang Restaurant as the center, less than an hour, the square in front of the Wangjiang Restaurant has been crowded with people, the businessmen who have captured the business opportunities, the housekeepers of large families, but the most are small traders with the dream of making a fortune, and even some scholars copy the recipe down, set the table, and copy it for the illiterate people at the price of 50 or 100 Wen.

The people in the square have not dispersed, but more people have heard the news and rushed to the thick crowd of people in the square, and the billboards are crowded with dense heads, excited, excited, surprised, and all kinds of expressions hang on people's faces.

In the afternoon, Chengdu's markets and bazaars are full of people who pinch the recipe to buy raw materials, sugar, cream, milk and even saltpeter have become sought-after goods, but the cost of the largest proportion of sucrose is not only the price is surprisingly high, but also difficult to buy, has become an unsurmountable roadblock, just when everyone is at a loss, suddenly there is news that cane sugar is sold in Wangjiang Restaurant, and it is far lower than the market price, which is undoubtedly great news for countless small business vendors, Wangjiang Restaurant lined up again in front of the long queue.

Suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms, the next day the streets of Chengdu are full of itinerant vendors selling slush, good quality and low price, people praise at the same time, but they are puzzled, why Wangjiang Restaurant wants to make this secret recipe to make money suddenly public.

"Smack!" With a thud, the teacup was slammed to the ground and shattered into powder.

"Shameless! Vile! ”

The four words were squeezed out from between Hailan's teeth, his face was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't help roaring anymore: "Bastard! I'm going to tear you apart. ”

Li Qing's trick was extremely damaging, he first hoarded sucrose to raise the price of sugar, and then hit the reputation of the Haijia slush, and finally suddenly made the recipe of the slush public, and he got out of the business war of the slush, and pushed out countless stall vendors to compete with the Hai family, so that the losses caused by the Hai family's early investment and loss-making sales all had to be swallowed by itself.

Heilan collapsed in his chair, although the loss of slush was nothing to him, but the taste of this defeat made it difficult for him to swallow, this was the second defeat in ten years, the first defeat was just a month ago, and the opponent was the same person.

"Father, leave this matter to the child!"

Hai Zhongheng, who rushed to hear the news, just knew about it, and he couldn't help but be angry, this Li Qing was really too deceitful, but he was the proprietor of a restaurant, and he dared to ride on the neck of the Hai family to spread wild.

"Kill!" Hai Zhongheng's heart suddenly burst out with a vicious word 'kill'.

Unexpectedly, Hailan, who had already relieved himself, waved his hand to him and said: "Go and read your book, you don't have to worry about this matter, if you can get into the Jinshi, it will be the greatest glory of my Hai family." ”

"You all go down and let me be quiet!"

The door was closed, the room was dark, and it was very quiet, Heilan's mind quickly calmed down, in the business sea for decades, he has experienced countless failures and setbacks, which one is not much more serious than this matter, this business war he only lost a few thousand yuan, which is just a drizzle in the annual trade volume of hundreds of thousands of Hai family, maybe he has been too smooth these years, so even this small setback will be out of shape.

Hailan opened his eyes slightly, and he suddenly heard hurried footsteps from the yard, it was the third brother Haiba coming, the footsteps were getting louder and louder, and the door was slamming! The ground was pushed away, and the sea lord strode through the door in a hurry.

"Big brother, the news from Langzhong is here!"

Heilan didn't jump up as he thought, only glanced at him, and whispered, "You close the door first." ”

Haiba was splashed with a basin of cold water, took a step back, closed the door, and the room fell into darkness again, he glanced at his eldest brother cautiously,

"Big brother, the news from Langzhong is here."

"Say it! What is the result? ”

"The people I sent out investigated in Langzhong for a few months, this Li Qing originally opened a shop in Langzhong Restaurant, sold slush and made money, which shows that he is not a clan, and later the people sent to meet a vendor selling fake drugs on the street, saying that Li Qing was originally selling popsicles on the streets of Yilong, and my subordinates rushed to Yilong again, only to know what kind of lottery this Li Qing had done, and he had been arrested by the government, and learned from the county that he was only a big family Xixi, big brother, little person!"

"Little people?"

Hailan sneered and said: "But this little person has beaten my Hai family twice, if he is a small person, then what is my Hai family." ”

"But—" Haiba was about to speak, but was stopped by Hailan waving his hand.

"Whether he is a clan or a small person, it doesn't matter now, the place where he lives has been guarded by officers and soldiers, and the military camp next to Wangjiang Restaurant, which has been empty for more than ten years, has suddenly garrisoned, what does this mean? Third, let's talk about it! ”

"Is it ......?"

"That's right, this can only show that Zhang Qiu and Qiong are supporting him in the back, so he dares to make such a move, so that he is not afraid of our retaliation."

"Do you just endure this evil breath?"

"Who said I have to endure it, but I have to see the situation clearly to prescribe the right medicine, I can't be in a hurry, our Hai family has been based on a hundred years and has not fallen, that is, we can learn lessons from every failure, this time it should be the same, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is to fall again in the same place, and the husband will take revenge, ten years is not too late, but not in a hurry at this time."

When Heilan said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "The so-called Sai Weng lost his horse, he knows the blessings and misfortunes, and I have to thank him for it, if it weren't for this contest with Li Qing, I really wouldn't have found out that there was a wolf hiding next to me." ”

The next day, Heilan appeared in Wangjiang Restaurant in a public capacity, and Li Qing personally hosted a banquet to entertain him, so that the battle between the two for several months came to an end temporarily.
