Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

The fact that Pigeon City hires two agents to manage and operate the business is mostly due to coordination from relevant departments. To put it bluntly, running this kind of business doesn't require any business talent at all; everyone knows that.
Do you really think you're a business genius just because you made a few bucks operating a pigeon market? If you can't even see this, how can you expect to do well in the future?
"Grandpa, I haven't been idle these days either. He Yuzhu is quite skilled in cooking, but his other dishes are simply appalling."
When Li Huaide was working at the steel rolling mill, he had zero ambition. If it weren't for his gluttony, would he have even wanted to be the deputy director? He would have been barely qualified to be a kitchen foreman.

Even after becoming the deputy director, he was just coasting along. The reason He's Restaurant was so popular was because they didn't charge tickets, hehe..."

Dong Yong didn't care. He had plenty of votes in his hands. He could just subsidize the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant and directly compete with the He family!
"Tell me, what are your plans?"

Mr. Dong was too lazy to explain. As soon as the He Family Restaurant opened, he had his secretary find He Yuzhu's information. After studying it, he found that He Yuzhu was indeed not a simple person.

First, after He Yuzhu joined the steel rolling mill, he quickly established himself and was able to get rid of Wang Lei by taking over as the canteen director.

Secondly, although He Yuzhu has worked in the steel rolling mill for many years and may seem to be slacking off, he actually performs his job to a very high standard.

Most importantly, so many people searched for He Yuzhu's weaknesses but never found any. After the special period began, He Pengjun immediately went to work on the boiler with the knife in He Yuzhu's hand.
Ever since He Yuzhu entered the factory, he has driven away Lou Zhenhua's relatives, and then Wang Lei. He Yuzhu has treated the canteen as his private domain, and all threats have been eliminated one by one.

He managed to get through the special period smoothly. If it weren't for the fact that the special period was initiated on short notice, people would have suspected that he was preparing for the special period!

Now? Forty-three-year-old He Yuzhu suddenly showed his sharp edge, like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old lad, and started charging around recklessly. Sometimes he even wondered if this kid had been waiting for this opportunity before the decision was made!

"Grandpa, this is what I'm thinking: the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant definitely can't do without receipts, otherwise, wouldn't we be promoting it across the street?"

Dong Yong had no idea that in just a moment, his grandfather had thought of so much, and the final result was completely opposite to his own!

"That's right, continue!"

“In that case, I’ll pay for the receipts for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant. That way, the He’s Restaurant’s advantage will be gone. We can just transfer it back when the He’s goes bankrupt, right?”

Dong Yong smiled confidently. The pigeon market was still operating, and bills? There were plenty. He wanted to see if He Yuzhu could hold out!

"Foolish! Don't you still have the advantage of cash withdrawal without tickets? If we operate this way, even if the He family goes bankrupt, we'll still have an advantage?"

Grandpa Dong looked at his eldest grandson with disappointment. The root of the problem wasn't He's Restaurant, but that He's Restaurant didn't require tickets.
The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant didn't charge tickets either, which ultimately demonstrated the superiority of not charging tickets. If that's the case, what does it matter if the He family goes bankrupt?

"What does Grandpa mean?" "The business model of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant cannot be changed. The only things that can be changed are the price and the taste. Of course, the He family's branches can also be utilized."
As for how to do it, we should consult Deng Chunsheng. As the manager of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant, he can't possibly have any ideas like us laymen, can he?
Remember, just convey the core message; you handle the difficulties, but you must not interfere with the operation of the Farmers' and Soldiers' Restaurant!

Grandpa Dong warned his eldest grandson with concern that the business model of Pigeon Market was inherently monopolistic, and therefore had no reference value.
If you really want to beat Ho's Restaurant, only an industry insider like Deng Chunsheng can hit the nail on the head.
What these people want is not for the He family to go bankrupt, but to prove that the He family restaurant and even the old leader's thinking were wrong!
"Got it, Grandpa!"

Dong Yong agreed, but perhaps only he himself knew his true thoughts!
After leaving, Dong Yong went directly to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant. Since he couldn't get a receipt waiver, he could only try to find a way to lower the price; he could even subsidize it.
As long as the profits handed over by the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant are in good condition, there's no need to worry about anything else!
"Old Deng, that's the situation. No matter what, the old man's idea is that the He's Restaurant's business model must fail. Whether you can seize this rare opportunity depends on your ability. The He's Restaurant must fail!"

"Young Master Dong, this is not a good matter. The receipts are fixed, and each restaurant's share is small. He's Restaurant is different; how can we compete?"

"There's nothing we can do about the tickets, but what about getting the price down? Can we get help from He's Restaurant's suppliers? If we win this time, things will be much easier, and both levels of government will be fine!"

Dong Yong looked at Deng Chunsheng meaningfully. This man had always been striving for progress, but his performance was mediocre. If he won this time, he might rise rapidly in rank. He was worth cultivating!

"What does the old man mean?"

Deng Chunsheng was tempted. He had been in this position for five years without any chance of advancement. Dong Yong's advice was useless, but the old man was different. Two levels? It was impossible not to be tempted; everyone has ambitions.
Some people pursue women, some pursue money, but he pursues power. If it's the old man's wish, it's not that we can't give it a shot!
“I just came back from the old man’s place. You immediately draft a price reduction plan. As for the discount, I will make up for it for you.”

You also need to find a way to deal with the suppliers and the kitchen staff, see if you can mix in sand. No matter what, He's must go bankrupt!

Dong Yong glared hatefully at the location of the He family's branch store. They had already proposed to shut down the pigeon market and launched an investigation. Wasn't this cutting off his source of income? Not to mention the potential threats involved;

Once the investigation begins, many things about Pigeon City may be uncovered. There has indeed been a lot of competition between them over the years, and many of them have even been involved in murder cases.
If the other party seizes on this point and investigates thoroughly, even Grandpa will not escape punishment, and the Dong family may be ruined. There are too many vested interests involved, and it's a tangled mess.
Over the years, various parties have shared a lot of profits, and the entire Pigeon City is a huge interest group, which is why they don't want to see He's Restaurant succeed.
"Since the old man has said so, then it's approved. I have plenty of ways to handle things at the restaurant, but you, Young Master Dong, also need to help!"

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Young master, it's like this..."

Deng Chunsheng sneered. He had already found out how He's Restaurant was served. Looking at the packed He's, Deng Chunsheng had thought more than once that if all these people came to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant, wouldn't he have been promoted long ago?
Unfortunately, these people still wanted to go to Ho's Restaurant. It's just a private restaurant; how great can it be? Isn't it just about taking advantage of others?

Just wait and see. If the plan goes smoothly, the He Family Restaurant will definitely collapse... (End of Chapter)
