Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

In the past, Tian Yonghong's mother might have gone to great lengths to help, but not now. Now she has to focus her favors on her husband and son. The rest of the Tian family are truly unworthy!
The saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day," and "People's hearts don't grow cold overnight." Old Man Tian's actions have completely chilled the hearts of the eldest son's family!

"Sigh, let's lower the price and sell it at the same price as the Li family. Hong'er, you..."

"Grandpa, I am not feeling well and may not be able to manage such a large business. Please let your most trusted uncle go."
"Mom, my stomach hurts, could you please help me? Ouch...!"

Old Man Tian was dumbfounded. Were the eldest son's family completely refusing to participate? This was everyone's Tian family, not just one family's Tian family;
However, the youngest son went too far, and the old couple were too protective of him. The second son's family was not suitable, nor was the eldest son. The most suitable one was the eldest grandson, who was pretending to be sick. It seems that he will have to take charge personally.

That evening, Old Man Tian secretly arrived at the Pigeon City cabin to take charge of the situation. Looking at the shabby surroundings, Old Man Tian felt a sense of approaching old age.
Originally, such a matter could have been handled by the eldest grandson, and he could have slept soundly and listened to the report the next day. However, after the youngest son's trip to the south, everything changed.

The changes were so rapid that they were overwhelming. First, the youngest son was deceived. He wanted to wait a while, but then Dong Yong arrived. That was bad enough, but the key was that Dong Yong caught him off guard, who was trying to cover it up, and he had no choice but to tell the truth.

I thought that even if Da Sun was angry, he wouldn't take it too seriously. Who knew that the situation was more serious than I imagined. What happened during the day not only showed the attitude of the other families in Jinshi, but also the attitude of the eldest son's family. If it wasn't handled properly, not only the eldest son's family, but also the second son's family would have objections.
If the core of the Tian family has problems, those who have sought refuge with them will definitely have other ideas immediately, which is very detrimental to the Tian family.

The worst-case scenario is that the Tian family will no longer be a united family, but will be divided into three factions that begin to fight each other openly and covertly, and that will be dangerous.

Throughout history, let alone families, even the imperial court's factionalism and suppression of dissidents ultimately resulted in the court falling apart and eventually the dynasty changing hands!

"Dad, we lowered our price, and the other party followed suit. They reacted quickly and are still ten yuan cheaper than us. What should we do next?"

"Why is the Li family so well-informed? Is there something wrong with your people?"

Old Man Tian didn't expect the other party to react so quickly; they had only just lowered their prices here, and the other party had already started lowering theirs.

As for the hype surrounding electronic products, there's definitely no need for pre-launch marketing. The Li family has already made a name for themselves, and young people in Jinshi are proud to own an electronic watch. Some have even started doing odd jobs for it. Therefore, the demand is huge!

"Impossible, Dad. Our people have been working here all along. How could they possibly leak this information? Besides, what good would leaking information do us?"

"Idiot..."

Old Man Tian then realized that his youngest son was good for nothing except for his sweet talk. As long as the price was right, he would betray anyone. But now was not the time to investigate!
At this moment, the Li family won a fortune, Li Hu was very satisfied with the data, and the Tian family's reaction was also evident!

"Zhang Huajian, consider this a favor I, Li Hu, owe you. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I can't guarantee anything else, but in Jinshi, my word still carries some weight!"

"Alright, I need to keep my arrival here a secret, at least not to Dong Yong. There are still some plans in the capital!"

"Don't worry about that, the Li family isn't like the leaky Tian family!"

"Alright, now that things are settled here, I'll head back. You'll have to keep an eye on Chunming'er. He can handle most problems, but the Tian family's involvement might be a different story!" "Don't worry, with me, Li Hu, here, your brother will be fine!"

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. There are still some plans in the capital, so I need to head back tonight!"

Zhang Huajian's main purpose in coming to Jinshi was to target the Li family. Now that the Li family has entered the game and is suppressing the Tian family's attacks, there is no need for him to stay.
If Dong Yong finds out, he might make many connections, which would be detrimental to future plans!

"Okay, the tank is full, we're ready to go!"

In Beijing, He Yuzhu's branch store is almost ready to open in two days, but Deng Chunsheng can't find Dong Yong!
"Sir, please forgive my abrupt call, but this matter is of great importance and I had to consult with you!"

Even when speaking into the microphone, Deng Chunse still bowed, displaying an extremely humble and respectful attitude!

"Xiao Deng, speak!"

"Grandpa, the He family branch is about to open, but Young Master Dong is nowhere to be found. Should we proceed with the plan we discussed earlier?"

There are too many things involved here, I can't make decisions on my own, that's why..."

"I understand. I'll get back to you tomorrow. It's just a small branch of the He family business, no need to worry, it's a piece of cake!"

"Okay, old man!"

After hanging up the phone, Old Master Dong immediately arranged for people to go and look for Dong Yong. No matter what, Dong Yong could not disappear at this time. Otherwise, it would be seen as the Dong family backing down, and some people would have bad thoughts!
At this moment, Dong Yong paced back and forth anxiously. The Li family's offensive was fierce, and the Tian family hadn't sold much yet. If things went wrong, this money might be stuck in their hands!
Unable to recover the losses, how can he explain this to his grandfather and the rest of the family? The He family branch is about to open, but he's stuck in Jinshi...

"Chen Yousai, how do we break this deadlock? There's no news from Beijing either. Continuing like this is pointless. The key is that there's nothing we can do even if we go back. Our established plan is simply impossible to implement."
The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant had to pay for its own subsidies, but the problem was that all the available funds had been used for electronic products, leaving no money available.

As for the Tian family, hah... they're struggling to make ends meet, let alone have so much money. The Tian family is just an empty shell now!

“Brother Dong, this batch of goods can be converted into money, but the problem now is that you urgently need money. I think we can’t let the Tian family sell it, otherwise, you won’t achieve your goal.”

Let's make the Tian family stop and sell directly to the area outside the pass to recoup our losses. We can't afford to damage our own business because of the He family restaurant.
Since it's a restaurant, why don't we find a master chef to challenge them on opening day? Restaurants are all about culinary skills; if we beat the He family branch, even if we can't stop the opening, at least we can dampen their arrogance, right?

Chen Yousai felt that Dong Yong had fallen into a misconception. If this batch of goods could be sold elsewhere, they could still be converted into money. However, if the Tian family continued to cause trouble, the loss would be their own.

Since the Tian family has no hope, and since that's the case, Dong Yong won't get the money in the end either. It would be worse if the Tian family were truly driven to ruin and death.
Families usually leave room for maneuver and don't go to extremes. Even signed agreements aren't very binding. The Tian family simply can't come up with that much money right now. And with a mysterious figure from Beijing targeting Jinshi, their products won't sell, okay? (End of Chapter)
