Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chen Yousai had no idea that Dong Yong had so many schemes. What he was worried about now was losing everything and how he would explain it to his family.

"Stop talking nonsense. What we want is to make money, not to engage in price wars with people we don't even know who our competitors are. You've invested money, but I haven't? Play it safe!"

Dong Yong was already in a bad mood, and in this chaotic situation, his childhood friend not only didn't try to find out who was behind the trouble, but was also worried about money. Wasn't that just being a complete liability?
"Brother Dong, your family is so big and powerful, but my Chen family isn't. If Grandpa knew I'd invested all my money, breaking his legs would be the least of my worries!"

Recently, the family's attitude towards the Dong family has been ambiguous. Since the two families are essentially a community of shared interests, Chen Yousai's attitude at this time is predictable. Why be polite when your interests have been harmed?
"Chen Yousai, what do you mean? Haven't we already invested all our money? At this point, we should find a competitor, unify our prices, and fight amongst ourselves? We'll all be doomed!"

Dong Yong was furious. At this point, Chen Yousai was not trying to expose the mastermind, but instead was making his own selfish plans. How could he tolerate this?
“Brother Dong, I invested 50,000 yuan, but now I don’t want any dividends. Please return it to me. Of course, I will still continue to do what I’m supposed to do.”
However, my family doesn't allow me to get involved in such a big thing. We grew up together, you know my status in the family!

Chen Yousai was helpless. Dong Yong was the first heir, but he was not. Although he was also a key candidate for cultivation, he still had a competitor. Once this matter was exposed, he would definitely be attacked, and his grandfather would reconsider!

"Okay, you wanted a refund? No problem, I hope you won't regret it!"

Dong Yong was helpless. The Dong family and the Chen family were allies, and it was best not to offend them at this critical moment. Besides, it was better to withdraw, so that no one would share the profits when they made money in the future!

"Thank you, Brother Dong. I, Chen Yousai, will definitely do my best to assist you without fail!"

Chen Yousai had no confidence in the upcoming competition. What if his opponent had more stock? The target consumers of electronic watches are young people, and there are only so many people in Beijing who can afford them. When everyone has one, will there still be an advantage?
As for radios, they are not for the average person. Many people have families, and spending a little over a hundred yuan on a radio is something many people think about carefully; it's not a decision they can make easily!

Dong Yong waved his hand, went inside, opened the safe, and frowned at the mere 60,000 yuan. Once he gave this money, he could only succeed and could not fail; otherwise, he would truly go bankrupt!

However, as long as an opponent is found, there is still a high chance of achieving price unification. Conversely, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out; at worst, the opponent will be exhausted before we can make our move again!
“Take it back. Quickly send someone to keep an eye on those vendors. If necessary, take some measures to find out who is behind them.”
Of course, the methods can't be too drastic, at least not to the point of causing any trouble. Otherwise, Li the Cripple will have to take responsibility himself. Tell him exactly what I said!

"Okay, Brother Dong!"

Now that you've received the money, Chen Yousai, you're still anxious. Whether things go well or not is none of your business anymore, so you're naturally no longer uneasy!
Dong Yong sneered, "Just wait and see. When you make a fortune, you'll know what regret is!"

Dong Yong was confident that as long as the other party wasn't some wealthy young master, even if they saw the profit in electronic watches and bought some, they wouldn't buy too many.
Putting aside everything else, transporting goods from the south to the capital is a problem in itself, let alone being able to distribute and sell them at the fastest speed possible!
Meanwhile, the sales revenue from the first night had already reached Chen Xueru's hands. Looking at the 70,000 yuan in her hand, even Chen Xueru, who considered herself to have seen the world, was secretly astonished.

I thought my business acumen was enough, but who knew He Yuzhu was even stronger. The total cost of this batch of goods was less than 100,000, and 70,000 has already been earned. Keep in mind that this is only one-tenth of the goods. If all of them were sold, they would be worth at least 700,000.

Good heavens, a profit of 600,000! Even Chen Xueru, who had never met a rich person before, was speechless. All she could say was, "That's amazing!"

"Zhu Zi, this is only one-tenth of the price, yet it's already seventy thousand. If we sell it all, wouldn't that be..." "Hehe, this is just the beginning. The price will gradually decrease later. Tell your men to be careful. I reckon the other side has already made their move. Dong Yong can't sleep at night without finding a competitor!"

He Yuzhu was both amused and exasperated. How could there possibly be such a large profit margin? Once the other party saw his selling price, they would definitely lower it immediately.

After the price war, the prices of electronic watches and radios are not as high, but there is still a profit of three to four hundred thousand!

"Don't worry, these guys were escorts back in the day. Each of them is quite skilled. Ordinary gangsters are no match for them. We've spent a lot supporting them over the years, it's time to give back!"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. The people Dong Yong is supporting are no good. We can't rule out the possibility of others joining us. When the pie is big enough, anything can happen. We can't be careless!"

"Understood. If anyone causes trouble, just run. They're all from the surrounding rural areas anyway, and it's mainly during the day. If they're causing trouble, just get out of the city!"

Chen Xueru had already thought of this. Selling during the day was the most suitable time, since the pigeon market only opened at night anyway. Besides, there were plenty of street vendors, so using other fakes to mix in the good ones, although it was a bit like burying one's head in the sand, would work.

"That's good. We've made arrangements with Yang Huajian. He's taken on so much stock; if anything goes wrong, he'll have to step up and take the blame, otherwise..."

"I'll do the work, don't worry!"

"Very good. Next, I need to get busy with the branch store. As for the electronics, proceed with the arrangements we agreed upon, but be sure to be cautious."

Our current strength is no match for the Dong family. If this gets leaked, we won't be able to withstand it. Therefore, Yang Huajian is very important!

He Yuzhu was still worried. If the matter were to be exposed, Chen Xueru would have enough means to disrupt the established plan!
"Okay, you go about your business!"

Chen Xueru didn't care at all. With such a large profit, there must be some risks. Although the relevant departments hadn't taken action yet, once Dong Yong locked onto her, he would definitely use normal means. But would she be afraid?

After her father passed away, she not only ran a silk clothing business on her own, but she also didn't give up the bodyguard job she had done for the Chen family. Although she had spent a lot of money over the years, wouldn't the returns come soon?

Why support her for so many years? Isn't it because of her high loyalty? Otherwise, she's not stupid. She's been providing for her for over a decade, hoping that one day the silk dress will regain its former glory.
After leaving Dong Yong's courtyard, Chen Yousai went straight home and gave his grandfather a detailed account of what had happened. He said it was better than being threatened by Dong Yong, since nothing serious had happened!

"Yes, you did very well. We are not as good as the Dong family, but we are not involved in much, so even if we are implicated, it will not be a big deal."
Since someone has started targeting Dong Yong, they must have been well-prepared. This duel is sure to be very exciting. You did a great job! (End of Chapter)
