60: I'm scared of the pit

"Yes!" Yamazumi Arimatsu clenched his fists. "Our capital is much stronger than Qian Ziyong's. Competing with us, he is absolutely no match!"

"The restaurant has already opened, and business has improved!"

"From now on, whatever Feihuang Supermarket does, we will do!"

"I refuse to believe he can beat us!"

Under his elder brother's comfort, Yamazumi Arimatsu regained his confidence.

Both managers were very happy to see Yamazumi Arimatsu perk up.

They could deeply understand Yamazumi Arimatsu.

After all, he lost hundreds of millions!

If it were them, they would probably be even worse off than Yamazumi Arimatsu.

No one can maintain a normal state of mind after losing hundreds of millions!

"What happened with the supermarket?" Seeing that his younger brother was fine, Yamazumi Arimatsu asked about the main business.

Manager Sun stepped forward and said, "The long-lost Zhou Kaitian suddenly appeared in Shen City. It turns out that during his disappearance, he was in Shen City raising funds for Heli 撈."

Yamazumi Arimatsu didn't pay much attention, he calmly sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Angel round A should not raise much money, right?"

"How much did they raise?"

Manager Sun said, "According to reliable sources, someone is going to invest 300 million in them."

What?

300 million!

"Pfft..." Yamazumi Arimatsu choked on his tea, it all got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough violently.

Yamazumi Arimatsu, sitting next to him, heard about the 300 million in funding and quickly pulled out medicine from his pocket. Without looking closely, he poured it all into his mouth!

300 million!

And this was just the A round.

There are still B and C rounds of financing. How much money will the Hot Pot Restaurant be able to raise then?

They were just thinking about using their substantial capital to compete with Feihuang in terms of losses.

Well, now Qian Ziyong has directly gone to Shen City to find foreign aid!

Can they compete with Feihuang?

Even if the entire Yamazumi family was put on the line, they might not be able to compete.

Most importantly, the Yamazumi family is not his to command!

He not only has to repay borrowed money but also pay high interest.

"Defeated!" Yamazumi Arimatsu's face turned ashen.

He was completely defeated.

Utterly defeated.

Yamazumi Arimatsu seemed to have his spine removed, slumping into his chair.

"Boss, Qian Ziyong did not accept the financing. He also said that Heli 撈 will never accept financing in this lifetime," Manager Sun said.

Not accepting?

Yamazumi Arimatsu, nearby, felt a glimmer of hope.

Yamazumi Arimatsu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother, Qian Ziyong is a thousand-year-old fox."

"He's just waiting for us to fall into his trap now."

"If we think Qian Ziyong won't accept financing and compete with him on capital!"

"Then he will definitely deliver a fatal blow at a crucial moment."

"Have you forgotten Feihuang Restaurant?"

Yes.

Yamazumi Arimatsu fell silent.

It was when the two supermarkets were competing on losses that Qian Ziyong, disregarding martial ethics, directly opened a Feihuang Restaurant.

Good heavens, customers actually treated Feihuang Restaurant as their own family restaurant.

They treated Feihuang Supermarket as their own family supermarket.

They had no choice but to invest 60 million to also build a restaurant.

The restaurant was already built, even the staff were hired, and it had just opened.

Then news of financing for Feihuang Supermarket came.

Clearly, all of this was a trap.

They were being played by the other party.

Yamazumi Arimatsu slammed the table and stood up: "Qian Ziyong has been plotting against us since the first day Feihuang Supermarket opened!"

"I completely understand now!"

Yamazumi Arimatsu looked at his younger brother in confusion.

Both managers were also full of bewilderment.

Yamazumi Arimatsu paced back and forth in the room, his eyes narrowed, with a vicious look in them:

"When Feihuang Supermarket wasn't directly opposite us, it had already formed good cooperative relationships with wholesale supermarkets and distributors."

"It's estimated that eighty percent of Han City's distributors have cooperated with Feihuang Supermarket."

"That's why Feihuang Supermarket's sudden price drop caught us off guard."

"Troops and horses move before provisions, and Han City's distributors are Feihuang Supermarket's provisions!"

"We responded in haste, with nothing, and getting goods from distributors was much more expensive than Feihuang Supermarket's prices!"

"Moreover, Feihuang Supermarket already had experience with wholesale supermarkets, doing it again is like driving a familiar road."

"And us?"

"We have no experience whatsoever!"

"How could we possibly be a match for Feihuang Supermarket!"

"So from the very beginning, we were calculated by Feihuang Supermarket!"

"So that's how it is!" Yamazumi Arimatsu's hair stood on end.

Thinking that the other party had started planning and digging one pit after another half a year ago.

And they, like little nobodies, foolishly jumped into the pits, he couldn't help but shiver.

It's terrifying!

His intelligence was almost demonic.

Terrifying!

Yamazumi Arimatsu continued: "Not only that!"

"Qian Ziyong, in order to deplete our funds, first hired a Gold Medal Lecturer!"

"I investigated, and it seems Qian Ziyong didn't spend much money to hire that Gold Medal Lecturer!"

"And us?"

"We spent several millions!"

"That's not all, the most important thing is that we foolishly trusted the so-called Gold Medal Lecturer."

"Thinking that with the Gold Medal Lecturer's help, we could boost employee morale."

"But we didn't expect that in the end, the brainwashing was excessive, and employees suffered mental breakdowns, forcing us to spend large amounts of money to appease them."

"Just on the Gold Medal Lecturer alone, I was scammed out of at least 30 million!"

"And capital is the most precious ammunition in this war. We were calculated by Qian Ziyong and wasted a large amount of ammunition for nothing!"

Yamazumi Arimatsu also understood.

His eyes were lifeless, and he muttered to himself, "I understand, Feihuang Restaurant is also a pit, a huge pit!"

"It cost us 60 million in funds!"

"Now our funds are insufficient, but Qian Ziyong has brought back a large amount of funds from Shen City."

"If we're still foolish enough to continue competing with Qian Ziyong on capital!"

"Qian Ziyong will definitely make us feel like we're just a little bit away from winning against the other party, and then keep pouring money in!"

"Until the very end, Qian Ziyong suddenly accepts financing and annihilates us with lightning speed!"

He understood everything!

Everything was Qian Ziyong's conspiracy.

They were all traps!

The Gold Medal Lecturer was one trap, 30 million.

Feihuang Restaurant was one trap, 60 million.

And the expansion of Feihuang Supermarket, which they also followed, was over 50 million!

The funds lost in these traps alone reached a staggering 140 million!

Oh, and the Hot Pot Restaurant, the Hot Pot Restaurant never made money!

Instead, it kept pouring money into it.

At least 100 million was invested.

That's 240 million now.

The supermarket's promotional activities were constantly throwing money in, millions a day, with no end in sight!

There were too many traps, densely packed, where there used to be a road, it was practically a stinking ditch.

They were in the ditch and never climbed out.

So ruthless!

"He is unkind, so I will be unjust." Yamazumi Arimatsu's face and eyes were filled with madness.

"Manager Sun, Manager Li, please step out first!" Yamazumi Arimatsu sent the two of them away.
