Chapter 331: Anti-rumor-mongering
Lin Dong's eyes became cold, once Hong Wanfu's wishful thinking came true, Lin Ji Inn would have to be defeated.
Just set foot in Lingnan City, without the slightest regular customer base, and the strength can not be far ahead of the premise, I worked hard with the major restaurants, although there are chambers of commerce pricing and various advantages that can be conducive to an invincible position, so as not to be beaten out of Lingnan City. However, the speed of development will be delayed for a long time. After all, all restaurants are doing their best to solicit customers, and the advantages of Lin Kee Inn will be weakened a lot. Far less peaceful than the major restaurants, Lin Ji Inn buried itself in using various advantages to cultivate regular customers, and when the major restaurants found out that something was wrong and wanted to suppress it, Lin Ji Inn already had the strength to sweep everything.
In the secluded room, Lin Dong pondered hard, and suddenly raised his head when Ma Chun and Liu An were both worried: "How is the owner of the gambling house doing?" ”
"Still looking for someone." Ma Chun shook his head helplessly: "Without more than ten days, it will definitely not be completed." ”
"Then you don't have to hide your head and tail!" Lin Dong glanced at Liu An opposite, and moved his gaze to Ma Chun: "Jiang Kui came at the right time, let him sit on the eagle, beast and bird, I want the whole city to hear his voice tonight." The content is...... How old are the owners of the gambling house and the county station? ”
"One in his forties, one in his early fifties." Ma Chun said without thinking.
"Give them an intimate relationship, brothers, cousins, brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law...... Anything, the more intimate the better. Lin Dong said in a deep voice: "Let the whole city know about this relationship, and then let the whole city know that whoever dares to go to Hongfu Gambling House is the enemy of Tianlai Gambling House." ”
Liu An was stunned, Ma Chun's mouth opened wide, and he said in disbelief: "What does the shopkeeper mean, rumors? ”
"Yes!" Lin Dong sneered: "He Hong Wanfu can spread rumors, why can't we?" With the connections of super big households and big households, Tianlai Gambling House has received preferential treatment from the county government, and it should also know something. Coupled with the rapid rise of the gambling house during this time, this rumor, I believe that those who hear it, first have to believe seventy percent. Perhaps, after careful consideration, it should be possible to think that it is impossible for the owner of the gambling house and the county to leak this relationship by himself, there must be someone who is spreading rumors, but he should not dare to go to Hongfu Gambling House again. After all, the fact that Tianlai Gambling House was treated preferentially by the county government is there, and there may be facts hidden behind the rumors. ”
"No one rushed to Hongfu Gambling House...... Lin Dong held the back of his head with both hands, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, and said lightly: "Under the premise that the situation is unknown, naturally no one dares to go to Hongfu Restaurant." ”
"The shopkeeper is wise! In this way, Hong Wanfu is stealing chickens and rice. Even, whether it is Hongfu Restaurant or Hongfu Gambling House, if there is no remedy, the business will suffer a lot. However......" Ma Chun hesitated a little: "In this way, it is equivalent to letting the people in the whole city know that Juntai intends to suppress Hongfu Gambling House for the sake of Tianlai Casino." Behind the scenes, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but the whole city knows about it. The county will not fail to understand that this is tantamount to giving a hostile official a handle that can make him lose his official position and even die. That is to say......"
Lin Dong waved his hand to stop Ma Chun's next inference, turned his head to look at Liu An, and said with a smile: "What will Juntai do?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Anzheng tried his best to understand the words of the two, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Lin Dong smiled without saying a word, and looked at Liu An quietly. Ma Chun, the chief steward, sooner or later has to hand over the matter of dealing with various emergencies to Liu An. What Ma Chun and himself can deduce, it doesn't make sense, Liu An, a guy with a full adaptability, can't deduce it.
What is lacking should be experience in dealing with such things.
On the side, Ma Chun obviously understood what Lin Dong meant, smiled and pulled out a chair, and sat down to admire Liu An's flushed face and a somewhat anxious and uneasy expression.
"Palm, shopkeeper, county ......" Under Lin Dong's slightly encouraging gaze, Liu An's anxious mood was finally relieved, and he stammered: "Yes, I should find a way to clarify." ”
"Yes!" Lin Dong nodded, but did not follow, but continued to smile and look at Liu An.
Seeing Lin Dong's expression, Liu An understood that his words did not satisfy the shopkeeper. Taking a deep breath, the confused brain cleared up a bit. Liu An sorted out his thoughts and cautiously continued: "If you want to clarify, there are only two ways. One is to reach an agreement with Hong Wanfu, the two of them appear in public, even if the rumors are not broken, but they are broken on the surface, and this is enough. Again, it is to let Hongfu Gambling House continue to be safe and secure, and after a long time, the rumors will be self-defeating. By the way, there should be a compromise solution, to make out with Hong Wanfu in front of the public, and behind the scenes, it will also slow down the suppression of Hongfu Gambling House. ”
"Go on!" Lin Dong said slowly.
Liu An nodded, and his thoughts gradually became clearer: "It is impossible to let go of suppressing Hong Wanfu, but it can't be too blatant, in my opinion, Juntai should use the third compromise method." And Hong Wanfu ...... knew that it was a delaying tactic for the county, but in order to restore the business of gambling houses and restaurants, he should also grit his teeth and agree to cooperate in a play. Again, it's us. ”
After a pause, Liu An muttered: "A rumor has caused such a big trouble to the county station, I believe that the county station should not let us go." Although whether it is Jiang Kui's loud voice or eagles, beasts and birds, they are all unknown. But as soon as Hong Wanfu posted the announcement, a rumor that specifically suppressed him appeared, and we are afraid it will be difficult for us to put aside the relationship. After all, we are the only beneficiaries of this rumor. As long as Juntai is not stupid, the first person to suspect is us. ”
Ma Chun nodded secretly, the place he was worried about was also here.
As a businessman, the first person you can't offend is the magistrate. Although the influence of the local parents and officials on the merchants has weakened a lot, Yu Wei is still there, not to mention anything else, three or five days to send officials to the door to catch the mountain bandits, and the inn will not want to do business. The Chamber of Commerce can put an end to the matter, but it can't stop the officials from coming to the door tomorrow to catch the thief.
If you offend the county, the consequences are not small!
"What should we do?"
Lin Dong looked at Liu An quietly, he also considered the consequences, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it. asked casually, just to try your luck and see if Liu An and Ma Chun could come up with it. Even if there is no way, it has to be done this way.
If nothing else, just for the opening of Lin Ji Inn, in Lin Dong's eyes, it is worth offending the county for this. What's more, the benefits are not only to make the early opening of the inn meet expectations. Once the relationship between Juntai and the owner of the Tianlai gambling house was broken. There is no doubt that the owner of Tianlai Gambling House had to give up suppressing Hongfu Gambling House at least in the tightest one or two months of the limelight, so that he could free up his hands to unite with Fenglin Restaurant to force Hongfu Restaurant into a desperate situation.
The two big restaurants are working hard, just like Lin Dong's previous wishful thinking, this matter is a good thing for Lin Ji Inn, which has more advantages than disadvantages.
Although the consequences of offending the county are serious, for the sake of these two benefits, Lin Dong also admits it, anyway, there is no evidence, suspicion is suspicion, and the county should not be ruthless to rectify the Lin Ji Inn, and wait for the most critical time of opening, and slowly find a way to make up for it.
"Shopkeeper ......" Liu An suddenly raised his head, and the light in his eyes flashed: "We guessed in advance in Autumn Wind City that the Chamber of Commerce had finalized the case, and we may be able to use it." ”
Lin Dong and Ma Chun slapped their thighs almost at the same time, that's right, guessing in advance that the final decision of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed worth using.
In the eyes of the big and super big families in Autumn Wind City, the reason why Lin Ji Inn was able to announce the similar news of the final decision of the Chamber of Commerce in advance was all because of Fu Tongshan's revelation.
Who is Fu Tongshan, who is the imperial master, the leader of the celebrity party, and the biggest beneficiary of the great earthquake of the imperial court. Sanpin Juntai, although he is a feudal official who dominates the territory, in front of Fu Tongshan, who is like Zhongtian, he can only let him take a few looks at it like a chicken.
Even matters related to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can be revealed to the Lin Ji Inn, and the relationship between Fu Tongshan and the Lin Ji Inn can be seen. At the very least, it is undoubtedly a matter that offending Lin Ji Inn is equivalent to offending Fu Tongshan.
As long as he quietly revealed the matter of Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City to the county station, let alone just spreading rumors, no matter how big the matter was, he would not dare to rashly suppress Lin Ji Inn.
What's more, the ten counties that were selected as the pilot of the Chamber of Commerce, the county platform, like the prefecture under its jurisdiction, is dominated by members of the Baume & Mercier Party. The boss of the Baume & Mercier Party, isn't it Fu Tongshan, for this matter, who dares to be the enemy of his own boss? As far as the relationship between Chong Lin Ji Inn and Fu Tongshan is concerned, it is too late to tie up Lin Ji Inn.
"Liu An, I can't see it!" Ma Chun couldn't help but give Liu An a thumbs up: "You kid, you really have some ability." ”
Liu An laughed, scratched his head and said: "When the time comes, we just need to find a way to invite an official who is familiar with the county station to reveal this matter to the county station in a casual chat, and the matter will be solved." But ......"
"But what?" Ma Chun asked.
Liu An hesitated: "I'm worried that Juntai and Master Fu know each other, and even Master Fu's people." This also means that Juntai is very likely to ask Master Fu for verification. ”
"It's possible!" Ma Chun's brows furrowed, if Juntai was really Fu Tongshan's person, knowing that Lin Ji Inn and Fu Tongshan had a lot to do with him, he would definitely find a way to keep Fu Tongshan's tone quiet, and how much energy should he put into Lin Ji Inn to pull the relationship. If that's the case, you'll have to go through it.
"It's okay! You don't have to think about it. On the side, Lin Dong shook his head with a smile, he believed that when Juntai vaguely mentioned Lin Ji Inn, Fu Tongshan was not a fool, and he must have understood that Juntai guessed that Lin Ji Inn had a relationship with him for some reason, and wanted to verify the extent of the relationship.
When the time comes, Fu Tongshan will definitely ask Juntai to take care of it.
The reason is that when he had Southwest City, he obtained enough to discredit Fu Zizhou, Fu Tongshan's only son. If he denied that he had anything to do with Lin Ji Inn, Juntai would be angry and angry at Lin Ji Inn, and he would inevitably be suspected of being instructed by himself, so he dragged Fu Zizhou into the water, and Fu Tongshan would not dare to take the risk.
Lin Dong was sure that Fu Tongshan would admit that he had an unusual relationship with Lin Ji Inn in the same vague way, and let Juntai take care of it. Even if Fu Tongshan doesn't have the strength of a dignified master, at least he has the ability of a master, even if he can't see the small enemy of Lin Ji Inn taking advantage, then he will strictly order Juntai not to stumble on Lin Ji Inn.
No matter how you calculate it, there is no need to worry about the county.
Although Ma Chun had been following Lin Dong since the southwest city, when Fu Zizhou arrived at the inn, he was still doing gangsters on the streets, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
"Because I have the handle of the number one talent in our Great Han Kingdom." Lin Dong didn't hide it, and introduced the matter about Fu Zizhou as it was.
"Shopkeeper, sure enough, it's the shopkeeper!"
In this regard, Liu An didn't feel anything, when he joined Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong already had the courage and ability to make people feel omnipotent, although Fu Zizhou's identity is extraordinary, with the ability of the shopkeeper, it is nothing to design and catch his pigtails. Ma Chun, on the other hand, was smacking his tongue. What Lin Dong is like in the southwest city, he knows better than Liu An that a small county order can already make the shopkeeper angry and have a headache.
Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper was in the southwest city, he actually had the feat of scurrying around the first genius in the capital that year, and now the first genius in the Han Kingdom. With the ability of the shopkeeper back then, it is indeed surprising that he can do this degree.
"Alright, that's it." Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "The rest is what Jiang Kui should shout?" ”
"That's easy!" Ma Chun smiled, obviously having thought about this matter, and immediately said without thinking: "Let's ask for the surname and let Jiang Kui pretend to be the subordinate of the owner of the Tianlai Gambling House, the content ...... planted a false accusation for Hong Wanfu, scolded Hong Wanfu for sending someone to assassinate him, and then warned the people of the city that whoever dared to go to the Hongfu gambling house would not be able to get along with him Tianlai gambling house and the county platform. ”
"That's it! It's not early, Liu An, you go to the lobby to handle the preparations for Ma Chun's opening tomorrow. Ma Chun, you are responsible for explaining to Jiang Kui. Lin Dong immediately made a decision, this content is impeccable.
"Okay!"
The two of them immediately got up, turned and walked out of the room quickly.
Arriving at the front yard, Ma Chun turned into the corridor, while Liu An walked briskly to the entrance of the courtyard.
When Liu An left the courtyard door, Ma Chun, who pretended to knock on the door, stopped, and immediately turned around and entered the backyard again.
Lin Dong's words were actually a lie to Liu An. Jiang Kui is not in Lingnan City at all.
As one of the only top chefs in the Lin Kee Inn who knew about the existence of the transportation door, Jiang Kui did not come to the inn with everyone, but stayed in Autumn Wind City to preside over the kitchen. According to Lin Dong's explanation, it was enough to come over the night before the inn opened.
It's only dusk now, Jiang Kui is undoubtedly still in Autumn Wind City. If you want to find Jiang Kui over, you have to go to Autumn Wind City through the transportation gate. Lin Dong and Ma Chun did this just to let Liu An have a psychological preparation, so as not to wonder why Jiang Kui was obviously in Autumn Wind City, why did he suddenly happen to return to Lingnan City when he was needed...... In the city, in the cellar of the Hong family's mansion, Hong Wanfu lay leisurely on a recliner, neither cultivating nor dealing with the affairs of the gambling house and restaurant. There was a faint smile on his face from beginning to end.
This style is not at all the style that Hong Wanfu said.
When it's time to cultivate, you have to practice seriously, when you should deal with the affairs of gambling houses and restaurants, you have to find ten or eight beauties...... Even if you think about things, you have to sit honestly at your desk and think about it.
Hong Wanfu's principle of life is that whatever you do, you have to do it seriously.
The word leisurely, for Hong Wanfu, does not exist at all.
But today, the only exception. The reason is that Hong Wanfu really admires his courage and scheming.
Even people who are so strong that they can't parry themselves dare to play with this courage, Hong Wanfu believes that he has not tried it for a long time. Ten or twenty years, anyway, since Hongfu Gambling House dominated Lingnan City, I haven't met a character who can not be provoked.
Whenever he thinks of the people he can't afford to provoke, Hong Wanfu has a long-lost enthusiasm. This feeling excites him.
A notice not only pinched himself to death like an ant, but also suppressed the business of this unprovoked character, and made the entire restaurant industry in Lingnan City make a fuss, giving Hongfu Restaurant a glimmer of life in troubled waters. No, it can also indirectly paralyze the judgment of Tianlai Casino, so that Tianlai Casino thinks that Fulai Restaurant is forced to participate in the war, rather than trying to shift the focus of business to the restaurant industry.
How many birds are killed with one stone? Hong Wanfu believes that if it can be passed on, this plan is enough to become a shocking ploy for future generations of businessmen to worship.
was so excited, Hong Wanfu was so excited that he couldn't take anything seriously. As a last resort, I can only do nothing, hide in the cellar with nothing to do, and secretly have fun.
"Tomorrow, it's going to be a good day. Hopefully he didn't lie and wouldn't use force against me. ”
Touching his chin, the corners of Hong Wanfu's mouth turned up slightly. As long as the shopkeeper Lin Kee Inn will really follow the rules of the businessman and will not use that terrifying strength to deal with himself, after tomorrow, as long as he finds a hidden place that no one can find out, the gambling house and restaurant business will let the trustworthy subordinates show up, and everything will be fine.
patted his face, Hong Wanfu casually pulled a tiger skin blanket and covered his body. Eyes, slowly compared.
It's time to get a good night's sleep, recharge your batteries, and wait for tomorrow.
"Hong Wanfu, you dog haggard, dare to send someone to assassinate our brother Tian, there is a kind of ...... get out of here"
The buzzing sound of dust in the cellar above his head made Hong Wanfu couldn't help but open his eyes.
Like, someone is yelling and talking about themselves?
Hong Wanfu couldn't help but listen, and the roar from the faint was a little clearer: "Everyone listen, my brother Tian is the cousin of the Lord of the county, whoever dares to go to the Hongfu gambling house again is the enemy of my brother Tian, and the enemy of the Lord of the county......"
Hong Wanfu suddenly jumped up from the recliner, this is a frame-up, this is definitely a frame-up.
Who, who is it exactly?
Hong Wanfu's face gradually became hideous. After a long time, his body couldn't help but start trembling, and his face gradually turned pale.
He figured out the consequences of this roar.
