Chapter 201 Introduction
Immediately afterwards, Chen Shundong got a large amount of high-quality rice from somewhere, which immediately turned the situation around and forced Zhang's army to retreat step by step.
In the end, Chenji completely defeated Zhangji. From then on, Chenji became the largest rice supplier in Lanzhou City.
All these changes happened so fast that they were over before they could even catch their breath.
Later, they privately asked Chen Shundong about the inside story, and only then did they learn from him that he was able to make this comeback thanks to the shopkeeper Qian in front of them and the mysterious boss behind him.
After that, Chen Shundong was very busy every day. He was either busy with his own shop affairs or running around for the shopkeeper Qian, in order to help him find more suitable shops and set up businesses in Lanzhou city.
They looked at him with envy, knowing that Chen Shundong had found a golden thigh. They also wanted to work for the mysterious boss. They did not ask for a huge success like Lao Chen, but just hoped that when the other party ate meat, he would give them a bowl of broth.
They have not been in business for so many years in vain. When Chen Shundong told them the process, he often glossed over it, but they were keenly aware that things were not as simple as Chen Shundong said.
After going back and thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the identities of Manager Qian and his behind-the-scenes boss are extraordinary.
As soon as they arrived, they were able to bring down Zhao Tongpan, who was all-powerful in Lanzhou City. This shows that their powerful background is greater than Zhao Tongpan's, which is why they were able to collect conclusive evidence in such a short time and bring down Zhao Tongpan in one fell swoop.
Then they took out a large amount of high-quality rice to support Chen Shundong to become the largest rice supplier in Lanzhou City. After that, they purchased many shops and mansions in Lanzhou City, which showed that they were not short of money.
Who wouldn't want to make friends with such a person with a strong background and powerful resources? But he didn't like them and only interacted with Chen Shundong.
Fortunately, Lao Chen is a kind person. Even while drinking the soup himself, he did not forget his group of friends and offered to bring them to support the opening of Yipin Guo.
This was a great opportunity to get in touch with the mysterious boss, so they certainly wouldn't miss it. Therefore, they each prepared a generous gift and followed Chen Shundong here early in the morning.
Although they did not meet the mysterious boss, they were very satisfied to be able to make friends with the shopkeeper Qian.
After all, from their conversation, it is not difficult to hear that Manager Qian would be the main person in charge of Yipin Guo. Making friends with him is equivalent to getting in touch with the boss behind him. For them, this is enough.
When they heard Shopkeeper Qian say that Qilixiang and Jiangxinfang were also the property of their boss, they became more certain of their previous guess.
Being able to open so many stores at once, and each store has a different business direction, shows that they have no shortage of human, material and financial resources. In addition, they also have such a novel way of promotion. Judging from the situation at today's opening, Yipin Guo's business situation will not be bad, and the situations of the other stores should be similar.
If things continue to develop in this way, I’m afraid that within a few years, the business structure of Lanzhou City will change.
By making friends with Shopkeeper Qian in advance, they have gained a certain degree of initiative in the subsequent development of the situation. This is their advantage as well as their opportunity.
If they make good use of it, they might be able to find a new breakthrough for their stagnant career. Facts have proved that their choice was right. Before they even took a bite of the meal, they received an invitation to a new dinner from Shopkeeper Qian, and they also heard the possibility of cooperation in his words.
Putting aside other things, if today's linkage activity among different stores is applied to their stores, it will bring a wave of new customers to their business. If it is operated well, they may be able to snatch business from their old rivals.
So no matter from which perspective, they could not embarrass Shopkeeper Qian at this time. Everyone had a smile on their face when they spoke, as if the sudden change in expression before was just Qian Laiye's illusion.
Qian Lai also looked at everyone with a smile on his face. He did not continue to flatter them, but turned to look at Chen Shundong.
"I was busy hosting the opening ceremony downstairs just now, and I didn't have time to talk to you for a while. As a result, after talking for such a long time, I still don't know the specific names of these bosses. The dishes haven't been served yet, why don't you, Brother Chen, help introduce them?"
"Oh yeah, look at my memory!" Chen Shundong patted his forehead as he spoke, pretending to be sorry. Then he continued with a smile, "Just now downstairs, there were so many people talking that it was inconvenient to talk, so I thought I would introduce you to each other when I got back to the private room. But after entering, my attention was attracted by the furnishings here and the thing called the menu, and I actually forgot to introduce you to each other."
After that, Chen Shundong stretched out his left hand and introduced Qian Laiye one by one, starting with the person on his left: "This is Wang Zheng, the owner of Ping An Inn. Boss Wang's Ping An Inn is a well-known inn in Lanzhou. There are currently three Ping An Inns in Lanzhou. There are also branches of Ping An Inn in the counties under the jurisdiction of Lanzhou. I'm just not sure how many branches there are now."
When Wang Zheng heard Chen Shundong introduce himself first, he straightened his back involuntarily.
When he heard the last sentence, he pretended to be modest and said, "The income of the inn in the county town is far less than that of the inn in the prefectural city. I only opened three and stopped, and put my main energy on developing the inn in the prefectural city."
At this point, Wang Zheng mentioned his future plans and extended an invitation to everyone present: "I am currently planning to open the fourth Ping An Inn in Fucheng after the New Year. I hope it will live up to the evaluation given by Lao Chen. When the new store opens, everyone must take the time to go and join in the fun."
The words were addressed to everyone, but Wang Zheng's gaze was basically on Qian Laiye, and the meaning was already very clear.
Seeing this, Qian Lai also responded with a smile: "I will definitely go when I have time."
After Qian Lai finished speaking, he raised the wine jug on the table and filled the glass in front of Chen Shundong. He then poured wine for Wang Zheng, and filled the other three people's glasses in order. Then he returned to his seat and poured wine for himself.
Although Qian Laiye did not give a clear answer, this sentence was enough to show his attitude. After all, it was still too early for the inn to open, and it was not known what arrangements would be made at that time. Such an answer showed his sincerity, and Wang Zheng was very satisfied with it.
Chen Shundong waited for Qian Lai to sit down again before he continued to introduce the people, pointing his hand at the person sitting on Wang Zheng's left.
