205 New News, The Delivery Opponent Is Here!
“That’s right, people.” Luo Feng stopped smiling. “In the management of the milk tea shop, Tingya and I are equivalent to you and Boss Yuan of your shop. Tingya takes on the role of Boss Yuan.”
Yan Kaize seemed to understand what Luo Feng wanted to say.
Luo Feng said, “Tingya and I trust each other completely. We support each other in our decisions. I dare say that even if either of us opened our mouths today and said that we would close all the shops immediately, the other party would agree unconditionally. We might have doubts, but we won’t be disloyal. I don’t think you and your partner can do this.”
Ai Tingya stood at the side and smiled as she listened. She looked at the high-spirited Luo Feng with love in her eyes.
Yan Kaize was speechless. He did not want to admit that Luo Feng was right…
Everyone said that it was best for only one couple to have the final say in running a couple’s shop. It was better not to have both of them standing in the shop. The other one could help, but he definitely could not make the decision.
That was because everyone had their own independent thoughts. If the higher-ups disagreed, it would be quite troublesome for the people below to carry it out. Their lives and jobs were not clear, and it was easy to intensify conflicts.
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya’s models were quite rare.
Even Yan Kaize and his wife might not be able to maintain a tacit understanding, let alone a partner who joined them halfway.
Yan Kaize felt a headache coming on when he thought of Boss Yuan’s burly figure and the way he had puffed up his beard and glared at him when he talked about the shop.
“Indeed.” Yan Kaize agreed with Luo Feng. “It’s really important for partners to be united. Have you heard that I fell out with him?”
Xiao Fei nodded. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya shook their heads.
The three of them looked at each other, then Xiao Fei shook her head. Luo Feng and Ai Tingya nodded.
“Can we have some tacit understanding?” Luo Feng was speechless. It would be too embarrassing if Yan Kaize caught him gossiping about his opponent.
Xiao Fei felt bitter in her heart. “Of course you husband and wife have a tacit understanding. I’d better go and work.”
Yan Kaize didn’t think that there was anything to hide. He said directly, “It’s common for partners’ ideals to be incompatible. I want to take the high-end route, Boss Yuan on the other hand… sigh…”
“He doesn’t agree?”
Luo Feng and the others were also taking the high-end route. Yan Kaize planned to compete with Good Me.
“He agreed at first,” Yan Kaize said bitterly. “But you also know that the high-end route burns a lot of money. My side is still alright, but Boss Yuan can’t take it anymore and wants to stop.”
Yan Kaize did not deny that this was a huge mistake on his part.
At first, he wanted to cooperate with the other party because he thought that the other party had experience and could be considered half an expert in the industry. However, Yan Kaize had neglected Boss Yuan’s family background and could not afford to burn money.
Perhaps it was just as Luo Feng had said, the fuse for the disbandment had been buried from the beginning.
At the thought of this, Yan Kaize looked at Luo Feng bitterly. “Our side wouldn’t be getting weaker and weaker if not for the price war with you.”
If Yan Kaize wanted to catch up and defeat Luo Feng, who had seized the initiative, he could only make an issue of something based on the price. Until the eve of closing, their price remained low.
Coupled with the crazy expansion, Boss Yuan’s blood pressure soared. Yan Kaize almost couldn’t take it anymore.
“Why are you looking at me? You were the ones who lowered the price first.” Luo Feng expressed that he would not take the blame.
“You! I…” Yan Kaize was almost angered to death by Luo Feng.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Yan Kaize felt that his worst judgment was regarding Luo Feng’s finances. He really did not expect Luo Feng to be so rich!
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have fought the price war.
The past was unbearable to look back on. Yan Kaize couldn’t help but cover his face in pain. He couldn’t express his sadness even with a few sighs.
Seeing him like this, Luo Feng actually felt a little sympathetic.
He didn’t mean to bully his senior. As the old saying went, business was like a battlefield. If he didn’t kill the enemy, he would be the one killed!
“Senior, don’t be sad. Victory and defeat are common in war.” Ai Tingya also sympathized with Yan Kaize.
“Forget it… forget it…” Yan Kaize calmed himself down. “Speaking of which, in the past two days, the employees told me that the customers felt that the taste of the tea had changed…”
“You didn’t store the tea leaves well?” Ai Tingya didn’t think too much about it.
Yan Kaize said, “I took note of it and realized that Boss Yuan changed the ingredients on his own accord. He changed them to cheap essence and powder…”
Luo Feng immediately understood.
This was easy to understand. Boss Yuan more or less wanted to recover some losses. Even a mosquito’s meat was still meat. He would cut as much cost as he could. He had suffered losses from the beginning to the end when he opened a shop. In the end, he still wanted to earn some money.
“So you guys quarreled?” Luo Feng asked.
Yan Kaize nodded and sighed angrily. “I think you can understand, so I can understand too. But this is contrary to the high-end route I originally envisioned, so I withdrew.”
Boss Yuan’s method could definitely recover some losses in the short term, but it could not guarantee the quality. It was destined to not go far.
Coupled with Good Me’s high-end milk tea shop a few hundred meters away, it was only a matter of time before it closed down.
Suddenly, Luo Feng shouted at Xiao Fei, “Xiao Fei, give Senior a cup of milk tea!”
“Okay!” Xiao Fei replied.
Yan Kaize smacked his lips twice. It wasn’t that he was greedy, but he didn’t expect Luo Feng to still remember their agreement back then. “You still remember…”
“Of course. I told you that I’ll treat you to milk tea if you admit defeat. You can try the new products in the shop,” Wang Yun said with a smile.
Yan Kaize suddenly grinned and sneered. “Do you think I’m here to freeload? I have bad news for you. It’s about your delivery website.”
He actually followed Luo Feng’s movements.
On one hand, it was because of the resonance of the strong. On the other hand, it was because Luo Feng’s delivery website was closely related to milk tea.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng asked curiously.
Yan Kaize said, “Do you know that there’s also a takeaway in Beijing that’s doing very well? Recently, it’s been very popular in our investment circle. I heard that they’ve already started financing and are preparing to develop it in our place.”
He had specially come to Luo Feng’s side not only to complain.
Yan Kaize and Luo Feng had been fighting for so long, but he had never seen Luo Feng reveal a flustered expression. He was also very interested in how Luo Feng would deal with a powerful opponent.
Luo Feng thought for a while and said, “Could it be ‘Are You Hungry’?”
Yan Kaize didn’t expect Luo Feng to be so well-informed. “How did you know?”
His eyes widened.
This news was only spread within a small circle. Did Luo Feng have a special information channel? Or had he expected such a competition, so Luo Feng was not too surprised?
Yan Kaize was shocked.
If it was the latter, then Luo Feng’s sense of investment was really far-sighted. It was not wrong for him to lose to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng actually did not expect Are You Hungry to expand faster than he had imagined. He could not remember the exact time in his previous life, but the capital and energy behind Are You Hungry were indeed worthy of Luo Feng’s full attention.
