Chapter 330: Hong Wanfu's wishful thinking
Once Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant fight, they are not only suppressing the opponent, but with the idea of crushing the opponent. At that time, whether it is Fenglin Restaurant or Hongfu Restaurant, they will definitely have no time to take care of Lin Ji Inn.
Although it is based on the fact that the price has been reduced to the minimum profit stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce, the two leading restaurants in Lingnan City are making a fuss, and they are also indirectly suppressing other big restaurants in Lingnan City, and Lin Ji Inn is naturally included. But this kind of suppression is limited to the price, and Fenglin Restaurant will not make a special trip to suppress the various characteristics of Lin Ji Inn.
Lin Ji Inn has a lot of features that are free and difficult to completely suppress, such as the most attractive ones such as VIP cards and Lingshi fans, if Cheng Bao can meet expectations by creating small dishes outside the two major cuisines, it is also one of the characteristics of Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant that cannot be completely suppressed even if they are free.
Even the two specialties of vitality beef balls, stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves and vitality balls, as well as jade pastries and pasta, are not completely powerless under the free suppression of Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant. Not to mention, under the pricing constraints of the Chamber of Commerce, all kinds of wine and food must have a certain profit at the minimum.
This pricing not only hinders the expansion speed of Lin Kee Inn, but also reduces the risk of Lin Kee Inn's expansion.
It can be said that as long as the two major restaurants do not rely on the three advantages of regular customers, region, and overall hard power and some special means to specifically suppress Lin Kee Inn, with the characteristics of Lin Kee Inn, the two major restaurants will work hard, and the business may be affected, but there is no need to worry that the number of diners will be suppressed to an unacceptable extent in the early stage.
Before the Lin Kee Gymnasium can be like a guest, it is completely possible to make the Lin Kee Inn deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cultivate a group of regular customers. Once Lin Kee Gymnasium becomes popular, there is no geographical disadvantage, and the hard power that has been improved during this period, even if Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant join forces to suppress it, Lin Kee Inn will be able to deal with it calmly.
Even, if Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant were divided at that time, and Lin Kee Inn attacked the winning side again, one would be at ease and the other would be exhausted, and maybe it would be able to establish the status of the giant in the Lingnan City restaurant industry in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is only the best outcome. Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant are not fools, and they will definitely think of this. But in any case, the two fights will definitely have more advantages than disadvantages for Lin Ji Inn.
"I encountered such a happy event before it opened, shopkeeper, let's come to Lingnan City, it's really timely." Ma Chun smiled brightly, a month earlier or a month later, the two fought together, which was not necessarily a good thing for Lin Ji Inn.
Only when the Lin Kee Inn first opened, it was a great good thing.
"The shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant, how is he?" Lin Dong asked.
"Liang Gufeng, the shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant, is fifty-six this year, and thirteen years ago he was promoted from the prefecture-level shopkeeper of Lincheng County to the shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant in Lingnan County." Ma Chun slowly recalled the information in his mind, and said slowly: "Being cautious and wise, and Hong Wanfu should be the opposite type of person. Judging from the reward and punishment rules of Fenglin Restaurant, Liang Gufeng's ability to sit firmly in the county-level shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant for thirteen years can be seen. After all, one step further, it is the shopkeeper of Fenglin Restaurant in Beijing. ”
Lin Dong frowned slightly, what he hoped to hear was that Liang Gu was full of courage and radical courage.
If there was no Lin Ji Inn, Liang Gufeng might not hesitate to seize the crisis of Hongfu Gambling House and take the opportunity to be ruthless to Hongfu Restaurant. Kelin Ji Inn appeared, Liang Gufeng really wanted to be a cautious and steady person, but he would not necessarily do it. You must know that more than ten years before this, Fenglin Restaurant and Hongfu Restaurant were half a catty, and no one could help anyone. Even if you let go of this opportunity, not to mention that Hong Wanfu is in crisis, even if there is no crisis in the gambling house, Hongfu Restaurant can only maintain the status quo with Fenglin Restaurant.
Lin Ji Inn is different, Southwest County, Qiufeng Mansion, step by step, all stepped on the corpse of Fenglin Restaurant. Now entering Lingnan City, in the eyes of Lin Ji Inn, Hongfu Inn is the biggest threat, and in the eyes of Fenglin Restaurant, Lin Kee Inn is the biggest threat. During the safe period, it is not impossible for Liang Gufeng to give up the opportunity to crush Hongfu Restaurant and concentrate on suppressing and dealing with Lin Kee Inn.
Seeing Lin Dong's frowns, Ma Chun couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, are you worried that Liang Gufeng will let go of this opportunity to deal with Hongfu Restaurant?" ”
Lin Dong nodded, and said helplessly: "I even suspect that Liang Gufeng may find Hong Wanfu to join forces." Comparatively speaking, in Liang Gufeng's heart, letting Lin Ji Inn disappear in Lingnan City is the biggest thing. In addition, although Hong Wanfu is an unscrupulous wolf, he does not dare to use any shady means against Fenglin Restaurant, and when Hong Wanfu is in trouble, he should be the best result in Liang Gufeng's heart. Of course, Hong Wanfu is already planning to give up the gambling house and run the restaurant with all his might, and with his appetite, he may not necessarily agree to Liang Gufeng. But Liang Gufeng is not an ordinary person, this may be a surname, not nothing. ”
Ma Chun's face became solemn, if this is the case, Lin Ji Inn will be in big trouble.
Lin Dong knocked on his head with a faint pain, and it was a great thing, but he didn't expect that there was still such a hidden danger.
The room fell silent.
The spring breeze blows slowly, blowing the paper window slightly bulging. The faint sunlight shines through the bulging white paper, making the room with closed doors and windows not look dim. The two of them stared at each other, one index finger tapping lightly on the table, the other eyes closed, and his brow twisted together.
"Shopkeeper!" Suddenly, Ma Chun opened his eyes, and the essence of light flashed away.
"Is there a way?" Lin Dong asked.
"Let's let Liang Gufeng have to fight with Hong Wanfu." Ma Chun laughed cruelly.
"Tell me about it!" Lin Dong gestured.
"The owner of the Tianlai Gambling House has a way to bring down the Hongfu Gambling House by virtue of his relationship with the new Juntai, and he should not be a simple character. After all, the role of the parent official, after the emergence of the Chamber of Commerce, has not had much impact on the business. Although the gambling house is still under the influence of the parents, the chamber of commerce still has a rule for seeking justice for its members, which is no longer to the extent that a word from the parents' officials can make them go out of business. Ma Chun said with a red face: "In this case, the owner of the Tianlai Gambling House should also know that the county can protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime." Once the county is as original as the predecessor, and the successor is not from the same party, it is likely that a new Tianlai gambling house will appear. ”
After a pause, Ma Chun continued: "For the owner of Tianlai Casino, this kind of thing is not something he can control, and the only thing he can do is to try to eliminate all possible threats. Once the new county station is transferred, Hong Wanfu, who once occupied seventy or eighty percent of the business of the gambling house in Lingnan City, is the biggest threat, and it is difficult to guarantee that Hong Wanfu will not make a comeback with financial resources and power. It can be said that it is the safest thing to let Hong Wanfu lose his family and property. At the very least, he had to be defeated and leave other counties. ”
This speculation may indeed be very high. It has been several months since the new county station took office, and the Tianlai gambling house has not made much movement, probably because he doesn't want Hong Wanfu to leave with the wealth accumulated in the past ten or two years. Lin Dong nodded in affirmation of Ma Chun's thoughts.
"In that case, we can help him." Ma Chun said with a smile.
"How can I help?" Lin Dong asked.
Ma Chun said confidently: "Let him know that cutting off Hong Wanfu's back road is the best way to force Hong Wanfu to keep spending time in the gambling house." ”
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly brightened.
That's right, as long as you find someone to vaguely remind the owner of Tianlai Casino, let him know that Hong Wanfu's plan is to develop into the restaurant industry, and the owner of Tianlai Casino will definitely find a way to get in touch with Fenglin Restaurant and work together to suppress Hong Wanfu.
As long as Hong Wanfu can get rid of the idea of developing the restaurant industry, Hong Wanfu must find a way to keep the Hongfu gambling house, at the very least, he must also account for one or two percent of the share to wait for the comeback.
If it is other industries, it is stupid to force the enemy back to their own industry and fight with themselves, but the gambling house is different. Although the gambling industry is also regulated by the Chamber of Commerce, there are no restrictions on pricing, only usury in the gambling houses and cheating in the gambling houses.
The competition in the gambling house is a master - a master of gambling.
Sending someone to a gambling master to go to the other party's casino to make money is one of the means for the major gambling houses to kill each other. This method is second only to sending people to the other party's gambling house to smash the field.
For Tianlai Gambling House, since it is to make Hong Wanfu lose his fortune, sending gambling masters to Hongfu Gambling House to make money is undoubtedly the best way to suppress the opponent and strengthen himself. Although Hongfu Gambling House has dominated Lingnan City for more than ten or twenty years, whether it is a gambling master or a big hand who is responsible for killing the opponent's gambling master, it should be far stronger than Tianlai Gambling House. But Tianlai Gambling House, there is an incomparable advantage of Hongfu Gambling House, that is, Juntai.
If the county is aimed at the Hongfu gambling house, the Hongfu gambling house can find the chamber of commerce, but the county government asks the officials of the county government to disguise themselves as thugs who come to the gambling house every day, unless they can catch conclusive evidence, otherwise, the chamber of commerce can't control it.
The officials of the county government may only play a few sticks, but most of the officials of the county government are martial artists. Maybe one of them can defeat Hong Wanfu, but a few or even a dozen of them will definitely be able to stop Hong Wanfu. The advantage of the gambling house is that there are many people, and you can send gambling masters to Hongfu gambling house to make money without any scruples. However, Hongfu Gambling House may not dare to send a large number of gambling masters to the gambling house to make money.
As for how the owner of Tianlai Gambling House persuaded Liang Gufeng to cooperate with Hong Wanfu to eliminate Hong Wanfu's idea of developing in the restaurant industry, and how Hong Wanfu had to work hard with Tianlai Casino, Lin Dong believed that the owner of Tianlai Gambling House would think of a good way.
"Shopkeeper, even, we can help the gambling house." Ma Chun hesitated, but couldn't help but say all the thoughts in his heart: "With our strength, just shooting a few guards over is enough to make the boss of the Tianlai Gambling House win." The competition between gambling houses, to put it mildly, is actually who has a good relationship with the official and whose fists are hard. Tianlai Gambling House, if both have the upper hand, they will definitely persuade Liang Gufeng to cooperate at any cost. ”
"Don't think about it. Find a way to let the owner of Tianlai Gambling House know Hong Wanfu's intentions! Lin Dong shook his head, the competition between the gambling houses was full of blood, and indirect participation in it had already made him a little reluctant, and he would definitely not agree to participate directly.
Ma Chun nodded helplessly, fortunately, even if the Lin Ji Inn did not send an escort team to help, the confidence of the owner of the Tianlai Gambling House might be greatly affected, but it was not enough for him to give up this opportunity.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Chun asked: "How about finding a way to find out the people who are close to the Tianlai Casino, and then bribing or inducing them to inadvertently let the owner of the Tianlai Casino realize Hong Wanfu's intentions?" ”
Lin Dong groaned slightly, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, just sum it up and make sure it's all right." ”
"Okay, I'll do it?" Ma Chun asked.
"Go ahead! The sooner you do it, the better. Lin Dong waved his hand.
Ma Chun immediately got up, opened the door and left.
Inside the house, after carefully considering what was missing, Lin Dong sat cross-legged and entered a state of concentration.
The surging spiritual power poured out of the dantian and rushed quickly in the meridians...... Two days later, the day before the official opening of the Lin Kee Inn to test the publicity effect, Lin Dong was listening to the results of Ma Chun's publicity on the day of the return in his room. Just as he was saying that the vendors stationed in various streets who were responsible for purchasing Lingshi fans and VIP cards had successfully caused various antique shops to follow suit, there was a rush of footsteps, and Lin Dong waved his hand to stop Ma Chun.
After listening for a moment, Lin Dong couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did Liu An come over." ”
Although Ma Chun is not a member of the escort team, he has occasionally practiced in order to have more self-defense ability. Therefore, I also understood what Lin Dong meant for the first time.
"Could it be that there was an accident in the propaganda side?"
Ma Chun immediately stood up and strode to the door. Although Liu An is the second steward of the inn, he is still being tested and cultivated because of his loyalty, and he is not qualified to enter and leave the backyard at will unless there is an emergency.
Running in such a hurry is undoubtedly an important matter.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Chun slammed the door open. It's going to open one day, and it's good not to have any major accidents when it comes to publicity.
At the moment when the door opened, the afterglow of the falling sun slowly entered, and Ma Chun looked up to see that Liu An, who was sweating profusely, had already stepped into the corridor quickly.
"Ma, Brother Ma, something happened." Liu An gasped and stopped beside Ma Chun, holding on to the door frame, sweating like rain. The distance of more than 200 meters from the inn lobby to the backyard is obviously all rushing here.
"Don't worry, speak slowly." Ma Chun let go a little and said, "The shopkeeper is in the room, come in first." ”
Liu An raised his sleeve and wiped the beads of sweat on his head, then nodded and entered the room.
"Sit down first." Lin Dong opened a teacup, grabbed the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Liu An.
After picking up the teacup and drinking it all, Liu An's breathing slowly calmed down. After sorting out the news he heard, under the gaze of Lin Dong and Ma Chun, he spoke: "I just got the news, Hongfu Restaurant, posted a notice in the morning, announcing that it has joined forces with our Lin Ji Inn. Lin Kee Inn's VIP card wine and food prices and various specialties can be tried at Hongfu Restaurant. ”
"What?" Ma Chun exclaimed.
Lin Dong's face sank, Hong Wanfu, what does this mean?
Liu An said worriedly: "It's almost evening now, even if we post a notice to clarify, I'm afraid it won't have time to reach the ears of those super big families in the city." Unless...... Let's use eagles, beasts and birds to go directly to the city, and then go door to door to clarify. But in this case, our Lin Kee Inn seems to give people a fuss......"
Lin Dong waved his hand to stop Liu An's words, shook his head and said, "Now, the most important thing is to find out why Hong Wanfu did this. ”
"Why?" Liu An was stunned, the reason was that Hong Wanfu released false news, and then forced the inn to submit to Hong Wanfu's might. Or, even if Lin Ji Inn comes forward to clarify, it will take at least a day. This also means that super large households and large diners who want to try the various characteristics of Lin Kee Inn will go to the nearby Hongfu Restaurant.
Wrong...... When these super big families and big diners arrived at Hongfu Restaurant, they found that they could not accumulate and try the VIP card prices and various characteristics of Lin Kee Inn as the notice said.
Hong Wanfu will definitely not do this kind of self-digging grave thing.
Liu An suddenly found that he was a little carried away by the news.
"Shopkeeper!" Ma Chun suddenly looked up at Lin Dong.
"Hong Wanfu, ruthless enough. This courage is also much stronger than the last time we met. Lin Dong had obviously figured out Hong Wanfu's intentions.
"It is estimated that he is easier to trust people, and he is sure that he will not use force when he says to the shopkeeper!" Ma Chun sneered: "Or, he is already ready to hide in a secret place in the future." If you can't find someone, no matter how strong your strength is, I'm afraid you can't help him. ”
On the first day of the opening of the Lin Kee Inn, in addition to some large households in the east of the city and nearby, the big households in the south, north and west of the city, as well as the super big families in the city, undoubtedly chose the address of the early adopter in the Hongfu Restaurant closer to it.
If it is another big restaurant, doing this kind of thing will undoubtedly make the big and super big families feel like they have been tricked.
Hongfu Restaurant is different, Hong Wanfu's strength in Lingnan City and no one dares to provoke it is a well-known thing. The next day, Hong Wanfu only needed to perform a scene outside the restaurant, saying that Lin Ji Inn had temporarily changed his mind and suddenly interrupted the joint cooperation after the Hongfu Restaurant was ready.
With Hong Wanfu's strength, in the eyes of everyone, there is naturally no reason to deliberately publish a false announcement to bring humiliation on himself. With this spare time, I personally went to the Lin Ji Inn to ask for cooperation, did the Lin Kee Inn dare to agree?
The only reason is undoubtedly that Lin Ji Inn has just arrived, and he doesn't know Hong Wanfu's strength in Lingnan City, so he deliberately shows weakness first, and then takes the opportunity to make Hong Wanfu lose face.
At that time, Hong Wanfu only needs to be furious in the process of acting, so that everyone believes that he is forced by the Chamber of Commerce and does not dare to blatantly seek revenge from Lin Ji Inn, but sooner or later Lin Ji Inn will pay the price.
made Hong Wanfu thunderous and embarrassed, whoever went to Lin Ji Inn to set up a banquet was undoubtedly not to give Hong Wanfu face.
With Hong Wanfu's status in Lingnan City, although the super big families and big families also have an extraordinary status in Lingnan City, they definitely don't dare to risk offending Hong Wanfu for VIP cards, spirit stone fans and a feast.
The business of Lin Kee Inn must be extremely bleak, and if you want to reverse the decline, you will undoubtedly have to do everything possible to provoke disputes and grab customers.
Hong Wanfu wants a big scuffle. Only when the restaurant industry in Lingnan City is in chaos can he have the only hope of winning.
