183: You are unkind and I am unjust

Bingmi Milk Tea Shop's employee meals went viral.

Its popularity was no accident.

After all, customers often queued up in front of the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop.

Anyone who saw the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop employees eating abalone and boston lobster every day would grumble a few words and couldn't help but complain to their friends.

Amidst these complaints, the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop became widely known.

At the same time, many people online began searching for the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop, starting to understand its past and present.

The result of their search was that the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop's Boss Qian, Qian Ziyong, was a man of few words but much action, someone who would throw money around at the slightest disagreement.

It wasn't the first time he had treated employees to lavish meals.

Giving employees dividends, setting up a dedicated restaurant for employees, and letting employees eat hot pot for free were all standard operations for Boss Qian.

The Bingmi Milk Tea Shop made it to the trending topics, and Qian Ziyong followed suit.

At the same time, some matters concerning the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop were also exposed by resourceful netizens.

For example, employee salaries were very high.

For example, employees only worked six hours a day and had weekends off.

For example, Qian Ziyong was scolded by the Qingyue Milk Tea Shop owner's son, and Qian Ziyong angrily opened the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop, overwhelming the Qingyue Milk Tea Shop.

For example, to prevent the Qingyue Milk Tea Shop from making money, Qian Ziyong sold his own Milk Tea at a loss, adding large amounts of fruit and yogurt to his Milk Tea.

These revelations shocked countless people.

They had seen adulteration, but never such genuine additions!

People love to join in on the fun; some said the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop had long queues, some said the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop employees eating boston lobster was enviable, but no one ever said Bingmi Milk Tea was expensive.

Nor did anyone say the Bingmi Milk Tea tasted bad.

Even online, they couldn't find a suitable excuse to discredit the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop.

After all, the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop was already selling at a loss; what more could they want?

As the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop became a huge hit online, even wealthy people who previously didn't drink cheap Milk Tea began to try it.

They didn't know until they tried, and once they did, they were startled.

It was even more delicious than the Milk Tea they used to buy for forty or fifty yuan, with more fruit and smoothies!

Online, many bloggers even live-streamed Bingmi Milk Tea Shop employees making Milk Tea.

They even poured out all the Milk Tea, tested it little by little, and analyzed how much fruit and yogurt were used.

They even went to professional institutions for testing to check for additives.

All test results showed no falsification whatsoever.

Gaining the recognition of wealthy people, professional institutions, and countless bloggers, the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop completely took off.

Even people with wealth and a certain status became loyal fans of the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop, so what more was there to say?

The Bingmi Milk Tea Shop is truly good, buy it up!

...

At Qingyue Milk Tea Company, Shi Yongchang was furious in his office:

"What's going on? How did the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop suddenly become so popular online?"

Ding Liangzhe said with a bitter face, "I've investigated, it's because of the boston lobster in the work meals Qian Ziyong prepared for his employees!"

"What boston lobster?" Shi Yongchang asked.

He still didn't know that the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop employees had work meals.

Which Milk Tea Shop provides work meals for its employees?

No Milk Tea Shop has ever done that!

Ding Liangzhe said, "It's boston lobster!"

"Qian Ziyong spent a lot of money, allowing employees to order whatever they wanted, and the work meals were extremely luxurious."

"So luxurious that they could rival a five-star hotel."

"This matter has sparked a lot of discussion online, even our employees are..."

Shi Yongchang frowned, "What about our employees?"

"Haven't their salaries been raised already?"

"Seven thousand is already very, very high! What more do they want?"

Ding Liangzhe said with a bitter face, "Because we don't provide work meals, and the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop does."

"Every mealtime, the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop employees set up stools at the entrance to eat."

"Our employees can only eat fifteen-yuan boxed meals, while the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop employees eat hairy crabs and boston lobsters."

"People are afraid of comparison, and with such a comparison, employees naturally feel a huge disparity!"

"They didn't ask for boston lobster, nor did they ask for big crabs, they just want the company to provide work meals."

"And for the quality of the work meals to be higher!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yongchang exploded in anger, "They're dreaming!"

"If I hadn't hired them, they wouldn't even have jobs!"

"Seven thousand is already very high, who else would give them such high salaries besides me?"

"Still want work meals? What work meals? Why don't they go eat sh*t?"

"How much would work meals cost?"

"We're already out of money!"

"We haven't made money in a long time!"

Ever since the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop opened in Shen City, their Qingyue Milk Tea Shop stopped making money.

Not only did it not make money, but it also kept losing money.

It was clear that the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop was fighting a prolonged war with them.

Could they keep fighting?

No.

They would be dragged down by the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop.

Moreover, Shi Yongchang had specifically studied Qian Ziyong's business philosophy and his past life.

Qian Ziyong was best at this kind of war of attrition, best at price wars.

Yongnian Supermarket was dragged down by him this way.

Upon learning this news, he didn't sleep all night.

He almost followed in the footsteps of Yongnian Supermarket!

He absolutely could not engage in another price war with Bingmi Milk Tea!

Shi Yongchang took a deep breath, sat down in his chair, and calmed down: "You go out first!"

"Manage the company well, don't let it fall into chaos."

"As for the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop... I will solve it!"

"Yes." General Manager Ding Liangzhe bowed his head and left.

A cold light flashed in Shi Yongchang's eyes, and he said sternly, "Qian Ziyong, if you are unkind, I will be unjust!"

"Since you want to fight to the death, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

...

In the afternoon, Shi Yongchang arrived at the home of Yamai Makino, the Vice President of the Shanjing Consortium.

"Greetings, President!" Shi Yongchang bowed politely.

Yamai Makino sat in his chair without getting up, looking at him sideways: "What do you want from me?"

"Mr. Shanjing, I have a big business I'd like to cooperate with you on!" Shi Yongchang bowed ninety degrees again.

"Oh?" Yamai Makino raised his head with some interest, "What business?"

Shi Yongchang approached with a fawning smile: "Mr. Shanjing, I've thought of a good way to acquire the Bingmi Milk Tea Shop!"

"Is that so?" Yamai Makino feigned disinterest, "Acquire Bingmi Milk Tea?"

"You're thinking about your own Qingyue Milk Tea, aren't you?"

"I heard your Qingyue Milk Tea isn't doing so well right now. Although the stock price has stabilized, the Milk Tea Shop isn't making money and is still losing money."

"You should know that if you keep losing money, your Qingyue Milk Tea won't last much longer. If it keeps losing like this, our Shanjing Consortium might withdraw its investment."

Yamai Makino's slightly threatening words made Shi Yongchang shiver.

Currently, Yamai Makino himself and the Shanjing Consortium held a significant number of shares in their Milk Tea Shop.

If these shares were to flow into the market, it could spell the demise of Qingyue Milk Tea.

If Qingyue Milk Tea went bankrupt, he would be burdened with countless debts.
