419: Pick up a night market for free
Unknowingly, five minutes had already passed.
Su Yue looked at the time on his watch, already impatient, his face full of irritation: "Five minutes are up, do you have a conclusion?"
As the Deputy General Manager of Far View (Yuantu) Investment, he didn't have that much time to stay here and listen to his analysis.
Looking at Su Yue's gaze on himself, Guo Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Give me three days. We have quite a few shareholders, and I need to discuss it with them."
The catering company wasn't something he could decide on alone, so Guo Ming needed to ask the people above him, hoping to get support from others.
Far View (Yuantu) Investment was only here for two days in total, he didn't have three days to waste here.
Su Yue shook his head, his face full of speechlessness: "I'll give you one day at most. If you don't give me an answer tomorrow, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Without saying any other nonsense to him, Su Yue left the office alone.
At this time, many people were browsing the night market opened by Huashi Hotel.
Ever since their chefs came to the night market, many people were willing to stroll around their night market, completely stealing Guo Ming's night market business.
Su Yue's intention was merely to make them surrender, who knew Guo Ming still had the ability to resist.
Liu Long, as the person in charge of the night market, sat in the night market office himself, watching the crowds coming and going outside.
"The methods General Manager Su mentioned are all ways for us to make money. The money we've made in the past two days is more than what we usually make."
He originally thought that the street stall economy couldn't make much money, who knew it could have such high income.
General Manager Guo looked at Liu Long's shocked expression and burst into laughter: "Only by following General Manager Su can we realize how insignificant we are."
Just then, Su Yue came to their office, his face serious.
The two quickly went up to Su Yue: "General Manager Su, our night market is getting ready. We believe today's turnover will be even higher."
In the past two days, many people had spread the word about the place, and many came because of the reputation, willing to eat at their street stalls.
Su Yue looked at Liu Long and General Manager Guo's excited faces and couldn't help but remind them: "Don't be happy too soon."
Huashi Hotel was originally a high-end brand; there was no reason for them to focus on the low-end market.
Once their focus changed, it would have a certain impact on the hotel's business.
At that time, Huashi Hotel might fall out of the ranks of brand hotels.
Listening to Su Yue's analysis, Liu Long frowned slightly: "That makes sense. So what should we do?"
He knew that since Su Yue had analyzed this far, he must have a solution afterwards.
Su Yue glanced at the two of them, took a deep breath, and said: "Completely take over their night market in the next few days."
In his eyes, as long as they took down the opposite night market, they could completely control that night market.
Huashi Hotel could go back to doing their original business, and the vendors in the night market wouldn't blame them.
Liu Long looked at Su Yue, who didn't plan to do the street stall economy long-term, his face full of awkwardness.
He had just been bragging to General Manager Guo, thinking their street stall economy would become increasingly prosperous.
No one expected that after such a short time, Su Yue would slap him in the face directly.
Just at this moment, there was a commotion from outside the door, causing a few of them to look outside.
Su Yue involuntarily walked to the window and found that a place outside was surrounded by many people.
No need to ask, the area most prone to problems in the night market was here.
Many people who got drunk couldn't control themselves and often caused trouble at the stalls.
Su Yue patted Liu Long's shoulder: "You two handle this matter quickly, make sure it doesn't attract attention."
He had worked so hard to build the reputation of the night market, there was no way he could let it be destroyed.
Liu Long was worried he couldn't handle it alone, so he pulled General Manager Guo: "You come with me, let's go take a look."
General Manager Guo didn't originally want to follow, but Liu Long's position was higher than his, so he could only obediently follow behind.
In contrast, Su Yue sat alone in front of the computer, looking at the night market's financial statements.
Just as he expected, the statements from the past few days were simply terrifying.
All the revenue had increased several times compared to Huashi Hotel's own revenue. If they kept doing this business, they could indeed make money.
Su Yue picked up his phone and called Lan Zijun, asking her to come to the night market site.
Since Lan Zijun lived in a nearby hotel, she arrived at the night market office as quickly as possible, her face full of surprise.
Su Yue pointed at the data on the computer: "Take a look. I think our Far View (Yuantu) Investment can set up a few night markets."
Initially, he didn't think the night market could make much money, but now he realized how profitable such a night market truly was.
Lan Zijun looked at the statements on the computer, her face full of shock: "This much money? Can you be sure it's like this every day?"
What she needed to focus on was long-term profit, not short-term profit.
Listening to Lan Zijun questioning his investment inclination, Su Yue smiled: "As long as there are suitable stalls, it's not a big problem."
He knew the biggest difference between the two night markets. As long as they replicated a similar night market, he believed they could make money.
Lan Zijun saw Su Yue's great interest in investing in night markets and thought for a moment: "Calculate how much money is needed. I'll have the finance department allocate the funds to your account as soon as possible."
Su Yue readily agreed and chuckled: "I'll start calculating right away and give you a detailed figure later."
Just as Su Yue was about to start calculating the costs, General Manager Guo walked in from the doorway, his face panicked and his body trembling.
Lan Zijun looked at General Manager Guo's appearance and quickly went up to him: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
General Manager Guo pointed to the doorway: "General Manager Su, President Lan, quickly come and see, something big has happened."
Su Yue originally thought the two of them should be able to handle the matter, but he didn't expect them to lack this ability.
Su Yue put down the work in his hands and quickly went to the place where they had just caused trouble.
At this time, there was blood everywhere on the ground. The fight just now must have been very intense.

Since he didn't see the situation on the scene, his face was full of anger: "What exactly happened? Tell me about it."
General Manager Guo took a deep breath: "We originally thought it was just drunkards causing trouble, who knew that person was leading the trouble."
Su Yue subconsciously thought of that catering company; only they would likely come looking for trouble.
Su Yue took a deep breath: "Where is Liu Long? Take me to find him."
He didn't see Liu Long here, so he thought it was very likely that Liu Long had taken people to another place for mediation.
However, General Manager Guo stopped Su Yue, his face full of awkwardness: "Liu Long was taken away by the ambulance. He was stabbed."
"What?"
Su Yue and Lan Zijun both widened their eyes simultaneously, never expecting that the matter here could escalate so much.
Su Yue pointed ahead: "Let's go, we're going to the hospital now. You keep an eye on things here. If it's really not possible, take a day off."
General Manager Guo nodded repeatedly and immediately began making arrangements.
He wouldn't dare let the night market have problems under his watch, otherwise he would also have to bear considerable responsibility.
In just half an hour, Su Yue drove to the hospital and learned that Liu Long was in the ward.
Originally, they thought Liu Long's injury was serious, but who knew he had only suffered a minor scrape.
When Liu Long saw the two of them walk in, their faces full of worry, he scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
Su Yue didn't respond, but slammed his hand on the table: "They've gone too far! Do you remember what that person looked like?"
Liu Long nodded repeatedly: "It was the one from that night market with the buzz cut. I didn't mistake him."
Su Yue knew Flathead was Guo Ming's person, and immediately walked out of the ward; he needed to help Liu Long regain some face.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Su Yue drove to the entrance of the catering company and went straight into the office.
Guo Ming looked at Su Yue appearing in his office, his face full of surprise: "General Manager Su, why are you back? Didn't I need a day to discuss?"
Su Yue didn't care if he knew about this matter, and sat down casually on the sofa: "This is the final ultimatum. How dare you hit my people?"
When Guo Ming heard Su Yue say his people had acted, his face was full of shock: "Could there be some misunderstanding? I've been in the office the whole time."
If it were before, he might have believed Guo Ming.
But this time, Su Yue didn't believe him at all and sneered: "Ask the person next to you, what was he doing tonight? Our Far View (Yuantu) Investment will pursue this matter to the end."
Originally, this matter was only related to Huashi Hotel, but Su Yue had long regarded Liu Long as a person from Far View (Yuantu) Investment, so he elevated the incident to the level of Far View (Yuantu) Investment.
Guo Ming saw that Su Yue planned to bring in other people from Far View (Yuantu) Investment to negotiate and quickly blocked Su Yue: "Can you let me understand this matter first?"
Currently, he had no idea what was happening outside, so he couldn't handle it even if he wanted to.
Su Yue watched Guo Ming wanting to make a phone call in front of him and waved his hand casually: "I'll give you ten minutes. I'll wait for you right here."
At this point, he no longer intended to give Guo Ming face.
If they didn't handle this matter properly, Su Yue believed he would definitely find trouble with them and make them apologize to him.
After about five minutes, Guo Ming slowly came up to Su Yue, his brows slightly furrowed: "I basically understand."
Su Yue nodded slightly, his face indifferent, waiting for their solution.
Just a simple 'understood' was not enough reason for him to let the culprit go.
After about half a minute, Guo Ming slowly spoke: "All your medical expenses can be reimbursed by me. I can compensate you with a sum of money as nutrition fees for those people."
Su Yue saw that Guo Ming's solution was only this much, his face full of coldness: "Do you think our Far View (Yuantu) Investment can't afford to pay for their treatment?"
Far View (Yuantu) Investment was originally an investment company; they had plenty of money in their pockets.
Guo Ming heard Su Yue say this and shook his head repeatedly: "You've misunderstood me. I don't know what you need us to give you, but I'll cooperate as much as possible."
This time, he was completely at a disadvantage, without even the qualification to negotiate.
Su Yue saw that Guo Ming was willing to let him make demands and placed a contract in front of him: "Write your name on it, and the whole matter will be settled."
Guo Ming took the contract with both hands, read the contents carefully, and his eyes widened: "You want me to completely transfer that night market to you? And for zero compensation?"
He had known for a long time that Su Yue was interested in his night market, but he didn't expect Su Yue wouldn't even give them a cent.
When Su Yue saw Guo Ming's difficult expression, he immediately stood up: "Since you don't agree, I think it would be better if we talked through another channel."
Once Far View (Yuantu) Investment got involved in this matter, Flathead would definitely face enormous trouble.
Guo Ming looked at Su Yue's serious face and smiled bitterly: "At least give us a cost, so I can explain to the people above. What do you think?"
Su Yue sized up Guo Ming, noticing that he was constantly trying to find trouble for himself while protecting Flathead's safety.
A hint of confusion arose in his heart, feeling that Flathead and Guo Ming should have some connection.
But he didn't expose this relationship, and smiled: "My terms will not change. I'll give you ten minutes at the most. If not, we'll talk elsewhere."
Saying this, he deliberately placed his watch on the table, showing the countdown in front of him.
Guo Ming looked at the countdown on the table, feeling very aggrieved, his face full of resentment.
If it weren't for Flathead doing such an excessive thing, how could he be forced into such a corner?
Su Yue watched Guo Ming's gaze fall on him and pointed at the countdown: "You have two minutes left."
As time ticked by second by second, Guo Ming shook his head bitterly: "Alas, it seems I can only give in."
In his eyes, once Far View (Yuantu) Investment started pursuing their responsibility, Flathead had a high probability of stepping up to take responsibility.
Moreover, the amount of money they would have to compensate would only be more, which would be the most disadvantageous outcome.
Guo Ming walked to the computer, drafted the contract, and placed it in front of Su Yue: "This is the contract for that night market."
This contract included not only the contracts of all the owners but also the land contract, which was equivalent to a complete transfer.
As Su Yue signed his name on it, the night market completely belonged to Far View (Yuantu) Investment, and they could no longer control this night market.
Just as he finished signing his name, Flathead happened to walk in from the doorway, and the two immediately made eye contact.
