Chapter 338
Chapter 338 - Countdown to Bankruptcy
“Xiaolong, are you serious?” Jiaang Yu was shocked. It was fine if he was furious just now, but he had not finished his anger yet. “The initial investment in opening a restaurant is not small, especially in Yanjing, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The restaurant opposite is about the same as this one. Just the rent alone is not less than five million. In addition to the decoration, marketing, salary, and other costs, ten million is not enough. It's not that we can't do it, it's just that we don't need to spend tens of millions to get angry. “
Actually, the most important thing was that with the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant here, the restaurant on the other side would definitely not make much money. This kind of obvious profit was just a waste of money.
Just now, Jiaang Yu had also scolded Yang Maocheng and cursed that this restaurant would definitely go bankrupt, but the truth was that it was not as simple as it sounded. If the evil had a good end, then the world would be peaceful and everyone would be happy.
However, reality did not follow the script. In the end, he had to be realistic. Why did he have to go against his own money and go to that disgusting restaurant?
“Hehe, do you think that the Flying Phoenix Restaurant will collapse?” Zhang Xiaolong laughed, “There is a saying among the peasants, as long as the hoe is sharp, there is no wall that cannot be dug.”
Jiaang Yu thought to himself, Is this what the peasants say? Isn't this what they use when they poach other people's girlfriends or boyfriends?
“Why? Are you planning to dig the wall of our Flying Phoenix Restaurant?” Zhang Xiaolong's voice was loud just now, so Yang Maocheng had naturally heard it. However, he did not care at all. It was not like no one had thought of this method before. It was not new at all. “So you are a peasant. Don't blame me for saying that you don't have any experience. It's much better than your hoe. Others come here with excavators, and they have not dug up anything from my Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant. If you want to go against me, fine. I just feel that it's boring. Look at the restaurant opposite. It is about to close down. I heard that it can be rented for four million, and there is no need to pay the transfer fee. Why don't you go and talk to the boss?”
Hearing that the other party was a peasant and wanted to play big with him, saying that he wanted to open a restaurant to compete with their business, it was a joke!
The peasant's income was only enough to pay for the rent for a year, right?
“Thank you for your guidance,” Zhang Xiaolong remained calm, “But I still have to remind you, hurry up and find a new restaurant for the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant. If you sell it now, you can still collect a transfer fee. Otherwise, this restaurant will be destroyed in your hands.”
“Hahahaha…” This time, Yang Maocheng really laughed out loud.
This brat was just a newborn calf. If he, the big tiger, was afraid, then it would be fun.
Originally, he was a little wary of this brat, because no one dared to hit him. Even Qiu Yuquan's men were beaten up by him, and he couldn't even find out who did it. If he really caused trouble, he would not be able to bear it.
However, this brat didn't think too much about it. Instead, he wanted to open a restaurant to squash him. This was really a slap in the face.
Go ahead and see how long you can keep this up. In a few days, Qiu Yuquan will definitely find someone to teach this brat a lesson!
However, from the looks of it, he definitely couldn't even afford the rent, and was only here to make a big deal out of it.
Thinking of this, Yang Maocheng wanted to humiliate him even more. He took out a hundred yuan note from his pocket and said, “If you rent the opposite side, we can be considered neighbors. This is my congratulatory gift to you. I have already paid for it, so you can't refuse.”
After saying that, he threw the money at Zhang Xiaolong. The money floated down to the ground. Zhang Xiaolong waved his hand, and the money that was about to fall down was blown away by the strong wind. It flew back up and landed between his fingers.
“Alright, I'll accept this gift. When you can't hold on anymore, I'll return it to you. Just treat it as a token of my presence here.” Zhang Xiaolong said indifferently.
“Stop pretending. If you continue to pretend, other than…” Yang Maocheng opened his mouth, but he didn't finish his sentence. It was better not to remind him. Otherwise, this brat would think that he was very good at fighting, and it would be troublesome. “If you have the ability, then open it now.”
Zhang Xiaolong took out his phone and dialed Chen Yaru's number, “Yaru, I want to open a restaurant in Yanjing. Hmm… Right, no need for that much. Just send me a hundred million first.”
After saying that, the few of them turned around and walked out of the door.
Yang Maocheng stayed there for two minutes before saying in disdain, “Tsk, what are you pretending for? You even sent a hundred million over. Are you a hundred million in Hades coins?”
Since this brat didn't start fighting, he was relieved.
Actually, the reason why he was so stupid as to provoke the other party downstairs was to force Zhang Xiaolong to fight again. There were so many people eating downstairs, and the surveillance camera was all over the place. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to find evidence of the other party. This way, he could also shut this brat down. It could be considered as him giving Qiu Yuquan a favor. In the future, this business would be much easier.
“Haha, did you guys see Yang Maocheng's expression just now? When he heard that he was going to pay 100 million, his face turned black.” Jiaang Yu laughed for a while, then shook his head and said, “This Yang Maocheng doesn't know his own surname. He should really be taught a lesson. Otherwise, who knows what kind of disaster the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant will be in the future.”
“Right, Mr. Xiaolong did a great job. Not only did he beat that bastard Qiu Yuquan, but he also made that guy get arrested. Yang Maocheng was so angry that he was about to explode. He finally gave us a sigh of relief.” Jiaang Mei added.
However, Zhang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, “We haven't even finished our meal. Let's find a place to eat first. Xiaoya, you haven't eaten anything, right?”
Luh Xiaoya had been troubled by a problem before, so she did not feel hungry. However, now that the problem was solved, she was indeed starving. Thus, she nodded.
“Where are we going?” Jiaang Yu was also a little embarrassed. Originally, he was the one who invited them, but in the end, something unexpected happened. “Why don't we go to the Celestial Mansion Family? The fish there are really good.”
“It's good, but it's a long way from here.” Jiaang Mei did not eat much, so she did not want to go too far.
“Let's go to the Celestial Mansion Family another day. I think this place is not bad.” Zhang Xiaolong pointed at the restaurant in front of them. “Let's go here for dinner. I'll treat.”
Jiaang Yu and the others looked up and saw that it was the restaurant that they had previously said they wanted to rent. However, it was already being transferred. There was no one inside.
Jiaang Yu knew about this restaurant. It had only been opened for a short period of time, but because there was a famous restaurant called Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant beside it, the people who came here were all aiming for the signature dishes of the restaurant. Therefore, the restaurant's business was usually very bad. In less than a year, it would close down.
“Don't tell me that you really want to rent it?” Jiaang Yu finally understood the other party's intentions.
“The money has already been transferred to my account. What do you think?” Zhang Xiaolong smiled. “I came to Yanjing City this time for two reasons. First, I will soon start school, and secondly, I want to get Clear River Village's high-quality vegetables to enter the Yanjing market, and to look for a restaurant to cooperate with. If not for this matter, I might have even looked for the Flying Phoenix, but now, I have decided to open my own restaurant. From now on, the closing of the Flying Phoenix can be counted down.”
