431: Borrowing a chicken to kill a chicken

Looking at the contract on the table, Qian Ziyong found himself in a dilemma.

He looked up at Shanjing Village Entrance: "Shanjing-kun, can I not sign it?"

"Sign!" Shanjing Village Entrance gained a new understanding of Qian Ziyong's greed.

He wanted to roar, even trembling with anger.

Seeing Shanjing Village Entrance's appearance, Qian Ziyong was truly worried that if he went back on his word and didn't sign, Shanjing Village Entrance would die there, causing him a lot of trouble.

Forget it, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!

Qian Ziyong sighed helplessly, signed his name, and the lawyer beside him handed over the seal, which Qian Ziyong stamped.

After all that was done, Shanjing Village Entrance snatched the contract, very angrily completing the stamping of it.

Shanjing Village Entrance glared fiercely at Qian Ziyong, slamming the contract onto the table: "You Chinese have an ancient saying, 'thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.' Qian Ziyong, you just wait for me!"

"You won't be so lucky your entire life!"

With that, Shanjing Village Entrance turned and left, slamming the door hard as he exited.

Bang! Bang! The sounds continued incessantly.

Seeing him leave, everyone gave Qian Ziyong a thumbs up: "President Qian, you are truly amazing! Not only did you get a company for free, but you also got one hundred million from someone else!"

"President Qian, today we witnessed your methods; they are truly brilliant. This is definitely an acquisition that can be recorded in history!"

"..."

Everyone praised Qian Ziyong to the heavens, one after another.

They admired Qian Ziyong from the bottom of their hearts.

They had never seen such an acquisition before; today was truly an eye-opener.

Qian Ziyong said with a bitter face: "Do you believe me when I say I didn't want this to happen either?"

"We believe you!" Everyone said indifferently.

Seeing their expressions, Qian Ziyong knew they didn't believe him.

Qian Ziyong felt like he had become the villain.

He was clearly the victim.

He was just quietly reading and studying at home when Shanjing Village Entrance insisted on selling the company to him, even forcing the sale!

He had just casually made an offer, thinking Shanjing Village Entrance wouldn't be so foolish as to sell him the company and give him money at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Shanjing Village Entrance was willing to even pay him to take the company.

Qian Ziyong truly couldn't understand!

...

In Shen City, at Feihuang Restaurant Headquarters, Ye Xiaoqin, who had received the news, jumped up excitedly.

"President Qian acquired Qier Waimai Platform!"

"President Qian acquired Qier Waimai Platform!"

Ye Xiaoqin shouted loudly, calling everywhere to share the good news.

Hearing Ye Xiaoqin's words, the employees in the store were all stunned for a moment.

President Qian acquired Qier Waimai Platform?

Doesn't that mean their Feihuang Restaurant is going to expand?

Upon receiving this news, everyone was very excited.

Now that Feihuang Restaurant's business was getting better and better, they were a bit overwhelmed. With the acquisition of Qier Waimai Platform, they would be able to earn more money!

Soon, this news spread to all the employees of Feihuang Restaurant.

The next day, the signboard of Qier Waimai Platform was removed and replaced with the signboard of Feihuang Restaurant.

Because Qier Waimai Platform had completely copied Feihuang Restaurant, nothing needed to be changed; they could start operating directly just by changing the signboard.

...

In Shen City, inside Chen Jingfu's villa, Sun Youan, Zhao Kaixuan, and others gathered together.

They all knew that Qier Waimai Platform had been acquired by Feihuang Restaurant, and they were all so surprised that their mouths hung open, so they immediately gathered to discuss.

"I've already learned the whole story. I can't believe that Qier Waimai Platform was actually acquired by Qian Ziyong," Chen Jingfu said with a shocked expression.

The others drank their tea, suppressing the surprise in their hearts.

After a moment of hesitation, Sun Youan said: "I strongly suspect that Qian Ziyong had been planning this from the very beginning, and his goal was to acquire Qier Waimai Platform."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Sun Youan.

Chen Jingfu said: "I also had a faint feeling about this, and now that you mention it, it seems that's really the case!"

Sun Youan pondered for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he burst out laughing: "I understand now, I understand! So this was Qian Ziyong's entire strategy!"

Chen Jingfu and the others waited for Sun Youan to continue.

Sun Youan didn't keep them in suspense and said excitedly: "Qian Ziyong has been calculating Yamai Murayu all along!"

"Firstly, we won't discuss Qinghui Plaza's initial scheme against Yamai Murayu."

"The most important point is that Qinghui Plaza's rapid failure was inseparable from Feihuang Restaurant's high employee salaries and excellent benefits."

Chen Jingfu nodded: "I know that. Perhaps it was the failure of Qinghui Plaza that led Yamai Murayu to make Qier Waimai Platform's employee benefits completely on par with Feihuang Restaurant!"

"So, he started calculating Yamai Murayu back then. Qian Ziyong's grasp of human nature is truly astonishing."

Sun Youan said: "Not only that, according to the information I've obtained, Shanjing Consortium lost at least twenty billion!"

"You should know that Shanjing Consortium is only a hundred-billion-level consortium. Losing twenty billion would be a crippling blow to anyone."

"Shanjing Consortium is definitely in dire need of cash now, and the N+3 compensation for Qier Waimai Platform's employees forced Shanjing Consortium to sell Qier Waimai Platform to Qian Ziyong."

"Even if it means losing money, they have to sell, because not selling would mean losing even more!"

Everyone was amazed.

Such a profound plan, such a deep understanding of human nature; even ancient strategists were probably no more than this!

Chen Jingfu said: "The battle between Feihuang Restaurant and Qier Waimai Platform was all within Qian Ziyong's plan."

"Qier Waimai Platform was like a chicken, borrowed by Qian Ziyong to lay eggs."

"After laying the eggs, Qian Ziyong took the chicken and ate it!"

"If there hadn't been Qier Waimai Platform, Feihuang Restaurant would still have become popular, but not so thoroughly."

"Moreover, it might have had to face attacks from the two major takeout platforms."

"But now? While solving Qier Waimai Platform, he also dealt with those two major takeout platforms."

"Currently, Feihuang Restaurant Takeout's market share in Shen City is growing larger and larger, while the market share of the two major takeout platforms is shrinking."

"Their stocks have both fallen quite a bit!"

Hearing this, Sun Youan said: "How about we short the two major takeout platforms?"

The others all thought it was a viable idea.

After some discussion, they decided the time wasn't right yet.

When would the time be right?

When Qian Ziyong expands Phoenix Restaurant Takeout to other cities.

Since they had such a good relationship with Qian Ziyong, they would definitely get first-hand information.

Then they would short the two major takeout platforms.

Sun Youan added: "We'll talk about shorting later."

"Qian Ziyong killed Qier Waimai Platform like a chicken. Besides consuming Qier Waimai Platform, which greatly benefited Feihuang Restaurant."

"It was also a warning to others, letting them know that Feihuang Restaurant's model isn't something anyone can just replicate."

"Now, many investors are observing, not daring to imitate Feihuang Restaurant's model."

"Even though Feihuang Restaurant is currently only operating in Shen City, and there's no movement in other cities, they don't dare to make any moves."

"They are all afraid that as soon as they start imitating Feihuang Restaurant, Qian Ziyong will open Feihuang Restaurant there."

"At that time, their fate will be like Qier Waimai Platform's: they'll lose money and still have to sell the stores they painstakingly invested in and opened to Qian Ziyong!"

Chen Jingfu and the others sighed.

Qian Ziyong's way of doing things was always like this, killing several birds with one stone.

Others thought he was on the first floor, but he was actually in the atmosphere.

He was always planning, and his plans were too far-reaching.
