Chapter 234 Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 234 Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
Yuecheng is so small, and the catering industry is such a small piece of cake. It is actually impossible to say that I have never had the chance to meet her.
On the surface, many people in Yuecheng admire her, but in fact, there are still many people who do not accept her and think that she can only make Haishanglao so big with the support of Zhou Jingmo.
But there were also people who really admired her. Uncle Xiang from Xiangji Baozi Shop was a straightforward person, but he could not hear the hidden meaning in Boss Yao's words. "Oh, that's a pity for you. You just met Boss Ji now. She is a heroine. I'll drink this cup, you guys can do whatever you want!"
Boss Yao glanced at Uncle Xiang unhappily. He was just a lackey who wanted to curry favor with Ji Ning, but he didn't even look at who was the one having the say here.
Boss Yao toasted Zhou Jingmo again, "I wonder what Mr. Zhou's plans are for next year. Do you have any plans to enter the catering industry?"
Zhou Jingmo remained calm and spoke calmly with the planning of a superior. The wedding ring on his ring finger was shining brightly. "I know nothing about catering. I have to listen to my wife in everything."
Boss Yao was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, "Mr. Zhou, you are joking. People who really do big things should know everything, let alone someone as capable as Mr. Zhou."
"By the way, Boss Ji, why did you gather us here today?" The impatient boss asked.
Ji Ning smiled slightly and clapped her hands. Soon a secretary came in with a tray with some pamphlets on it. The secretary distributed the pamphlets to each boss.
After reading the booklet, the faces of the bosses changed slightly, and so did Boss Yao. He vaguely guessed something, but sneered at Ji Ning and said, "Boss Ji, what does this mean?"
"LK Company is preparing to occupy a large portion of Yuecheng's catering market."
"LK Company?" Everyone looked at each other, obviously having heard of this company. This catering company is now quite famous in China.
However, in Yuecheng, perhaps influenced by the local catering culture and everyone being relatively united, LK Company has always been lukewarm.
Ji Ning's expression gradually became serious. "LK Company has planted its own people in the key departments of major catering companies in Yuecheng. Some are preparing to steal secrets, and some are preparing to do something else."
"This..." All the bosses looked at the booklet in their hands.
Boss Yao was rebellious and raised the book in his hand, "Boss Ji, I can understand the other people on your list, but there is one person on this list who is actually my wife's younger brother. He is my brother-in-law, and I have already given him the position of general manager. Why would he help LK Company to harm me? This is of no benefit to him. It doesn't make sense..."
"Yes, yes, there are some of my relatives here."
"This employee has worked in my store for many years. I have provided him with delicious food and drinks. How could he be a traitor?"
Boss Yao still has a certain status, so his words were agreed by some high-end restaurant owners.
Ji Ning smiled, fully respecting the fate of others, "That's your family business."
"That's not right..." Boss Yao narrowed his eyes. "If you give us this booklet, you have to be responsible for this list. You can't just find some people to bluff us. If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
Uncle Xiang rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms that were made from years of kneading buns. "Hey, Goudan, what are you talking about!"
Hearing the snickers around him, Boss Yao was furious, "Uncle Xiang, don't call me by my nickname!"
He has been out of the village for a long time and is now the owner of a well-known high-end Western restaurant.
Facing Boss Yao's aggressiveness, Ji Ning said calmly, "I spent a lot of money to buy these lists, which is already a loyal thing. I have already given you the spoon, do you want me to feed you the food?"
"You..." So arrogant! Boss Yao was so angry that he didn't even eat his meal. He walked out in anger, and then several high-end restaurant owners followed him out.
Boss Yao said, "Don't listen to her. She just wants to bring us down and reap the benefits."
"Yes, that must be the case. The Chamber of Commerce chairman election will be held soon. Mr. Zhou has never participated in these things. So she thinks that she can control the people's hearts and firmly sit on the position of Chamber of Commerce chairman by doing this!"
"Let her dream on. From ancient times to now, there has never been a woman as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce!"
As for the group of people who stayed behind, they listened carefully to Ji Ning's advice. Based on the principle of "don't employ people if you doubt them, and trust people if you employ them", they fired some of the people on the list when they returned home.
Especially Uncle Xiang, he not only fired them, but also cursed at them, calling them ungrateful people.
Those people were already feeling guilty, so naturally they didn't dare to talk back and left in disgrace.
When Boss Yao heard this, he just smiled.
Anyone who trusts women will end up in debt and go bankrupt sooner or later.
But Ji Ning's words still planted a seed in his heart. Being extremely suspicious, he felt uneasy one day and called Fang Ping to his office.
Fang Ping was his brother-in-law, the only younger brother of his wife.
He didn't want to let Fang Ping join the company at first, but he couldn't resist his wife's constant whispering. His wife was his second wife, with fair skin and beautiful looks. He was in his forties, but he really wanted to die on her.
"Fang Ping, what projects are you working on recently?"
Fang Ping's eyes wandered, "I'll just do the purchasing and stuff."
"Show me the list."
"Brother-in-law, are you still worried about my work?"
"Show me the list!" Boss Yao frowned. He started from scratch and his parents could not help him at all. Unlike others, he wanted to leave his family business to his son.
When Fang Ping brought up the purchase list, Boss Yao quickly frowned, "Haven't we always gotten flour from the Guang family before? Why is it the Xu family now? And why didn't the Guang family tell me that they changed the purchaser?"
“This…” Fang Ping scratched his head. “Isn’t it just that the Guang family is going too far? They’re taking advantage of the fact that we’ve been getting flour from them, so they’re raising the price by 10%. Brother-in-law, I don’t want to be controlled by them!”
This does make some sense, but Boss Yao's intuition tells him that the Guang family is not that kind of people.
After Fang Ping left, Boss Yao was worried. He put his hand on the dial and quickly called the Guang family. As soon as the call was connected - "Hello."
