Being threatened
Which supermarket doesn't have normal promotional activities? It just depends on the intensity and duration of the promotion.
This behavior is miles away from market disruption; he just knows how to bluff people here.
"You are Chen Dong?"
Qi Yingfei was similar in height to Hu Wei, looked to be in his early thirties, and was dressed very formally, especially his bright, reflective Amarin leather shoes.
He squinted his eyes. He had long since heard that the new owner of Kangle Supermarket, Chen Dong, was a young man, but he didn't expect him to look like a college student!
He took two steps forward and lowered his voice,
"Chen Dong, did Hong Yuanjun not tell you my real purpose for suppressing him?"
"Oh, I wonder what considerations Mr. Qi had?"
"I took a fancy to this supermarket and wanted him to sell it to me, but he didn't agree."
A ruthless light flickered in Qi Yingfei's eyes,
"You're blocking my path to wealth, do you know that?"
Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents! If that were truly the case, then the feud between Chen Dong and Qi Yingfei would have been established the moment he bought Kangle Supermarket.
It was just that the other party hadn't been paying attention to the situation here, causing the information to be delayed by a day or two.
"In a market economy, everyone competes fairly, so how can you say I'm blocking your path to wealth?"
Chen Dong was completely unmoved; he even had to say in his heart, "Let me say thank you!"
"Four million. Transfer the supermarket to me, and we'll be even."
"What the heck, are you sick or am I sick? Turn right out the door, walk six hundred meters, please check into the psychiatry department. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
"Chen Dong, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." Qi Yingfei's face was grim, veins bulging, on the verge of exploding at any moment.
"Do you believe me when I say I'll make sure your supermarket can't operate!"
"I believe you. Bring whatever tricks you have. However, I have to remind you: this is a society governed by law, so please don't do anything illegal or disorderly. After all, there's a good old saying in Dragon Country: 'If you want no one to know, don't do it.'
Don't mess up in the end and get yourself locked up; that wouldn't be pretty."
Qi Yingfei ultimately didn't gain any advantage, just as Chen Dong said: this is a society governed by law. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the supermarket. If he dared to bring people to cause trouble here, once the police were called, he would be the one suffering.
"Boss, is that it?"
In the car, the subordinate who came with him asked.
"How could that be it? If I don't ruin them, I'm not Qi Yingfei."
"Boss, how about I sneak in and put some poison in their meat to ruin their reputation?"
"Slap!" Qi Yingfei slapped him on the head.
"If you want to die, don't drag me with you!"
The subordinate rubbed his head, looking dejected, and cursed inwardly,
"For your supermarket, I risked my life, and you dare to hit me! If it weren't for the decent amount of money you give me, I would definitely hit you back...."
Qi Yingfei returned to Hongyun Supermarket, a smile never gracing his face.
He had fought a price war for a month, losing hundreds of thousands, only to find that in the end, that little bastard benefited.
Poisoning? Hiring actors to cause trouble? Going to talk to his suppliers again?
None of these methods seemed to work!
Continue the price war? He seemed like he couldn't last much longer.
The phone rang. Looking at the name, he irritably hung up the call.
"Damn it, who leaked those photos? Now this woman wants to divorce me every day. All this money is marital property, why should I share it with her?"
Thinking of this, Qi Yingfei became even more agitated. He opened the office door and called out to a young woman in professional OL attire:
"Xiao Li, come here for a moment, I need you for something."
Xiao Li smiled, indeed a beauty, not old, looking like she had just left school, though her face was heavily made up.
She walked gracefully into Qi Yingfei's office.
"Lock the door."
Xiao Li obediently did as told. As soon as she turned around, she was pulled into Qi Yingfei's arms.
"Boss, it's working hours, and there are people outside."
"So what if there are people? Isn't it more stimulating with people around?"
Qi Yingfei patted her perky bottom, and she looked at Qi Yingfei with seductive eyes.
It seemed this routine was very familiar to both of them....
A few minutes later, Qi Yingfei, refreshed, buckled his belt and walked out of the office, ready to check his supermarket's business performance again.
Xiao Li put on her clothes, pouting and muttering,
"So disappointing, it always ends just when I get interested."
Looking at Qi Yingfei's retreating back, Xiao Li's eyes were full of resentment. It seemed she still had to find a way to satisfy herself, after all, it was only three to five minutes, who could stand that?
In the evening, Qi Yingfei took out his phone and dialed a number,
"Second Uncle, there's something I need to trouble you with."
"Speak."
"Summer vacation is coming soon, and traditionally, all supermarkets provide some shopping cards to public units. This year, can Kangle Supermarket's share be given to my Hongyun Supermarket?"
The other side was silent for a while. Various businesses and supermarkets provide employment opportunities and GDP for Jinghai. Although he had power, he couldn't be too willful.
"Did you have another conflict with someone?"
"Hey, Second Uncle, just a clown who doesn't know his place. I want to teach him a lesson."
"I can promise you this, but remember, this year is an election year, and Mayor Wu and Mayor Zhao above both want to advance.
You can fight with people, and I won't interfere with minor squabbles, but don't cross the red line. If someone dies, or something big happens that reaches the top, I will definitely not spare you...."
Listening to the "static" sound on the phone, Qi Yingfei's temper flared up instantly again....
Chen Dong instructed Hu Wei and Liu Dinggang to strictly control food safety.
Whether it was candy or rice, flour, oil, fresh milk, or meat, they must be sourced through legitimate channels.
He didn't know what tricks Qi Yingfei would pull during this time, so they must send people to check the surveillance footage more often every day, and absolutely must not have blank footage if something happens.
Chen Dong was not worried at all. As long as he did his own job well and there were no violations, could they just stop his supermarket for no reason?
If Qi Yingfei really had that ability, he would have done it long ago, why wait until today?
With the rapid development of Dragon Country's economy, the top brass placed great importance on GDP. His supermarket paid a considerable amount of taxes each year, so there was no reason to arbitrarily seal him off with a trumped-up charge.
After lunch, Chen Dong returned to his dorm.
He opened his computer, logged into his futures account, and checked the price of gold.
It was still slightly up today. Tomorrow morning, Chen Dong would begin his first operation.
But it was good that this was futures, not stocks. Otherwise, managing such a large account by himself would indeed be a bit overwhelming.
It seemed he needed to establish an investment company. Otherwise, if he encountered even larger accounts in the future, he wouldn't be able to handle them alone.
Time is money, and it's a huge fortune!
