Chapter 149: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
It was almost evening, and I came back from the distant moon.
The sunset disappeared among the buildings to the west, and the buildings in the old shopping street were coated with a layer of golden sunset, making the atmosphere even quieter.
Last time, I drove away Yaeko Minenozaki with food, the "real estate queen" hadn't come to harass her for a long time. Xia Yu came out of the Ueno tram station and walked into the shopping street, but stopped in front of a seafood store that was closing.
The store’s furniture, decorations and other things were almost emptied, and three or four cleaning staff were cleaning.
"Uncle of the ancient city!"
Xia Yu called out a middle-aged man who was in a hurry and honest manner and said strangely: "Is this aquatic product store going to be decorated?"
The middle-aged man named Guchengshu shook his head and said, "I'm leaving the shopping street."
"Leave?" Xia Yu frowned.
The aquatic products store in Guchengshu has been open for nearly ten years, has accumulated enough connections, is diligent and has always had a good business, and has no reason to close the store and leave.
Moreover, the ancient city Shu family only added new people a few months ago. Men during this period should pursue stability. How could they close a good-business aquatic shop and go to other businesses? Xia Yu immediately realized that the crisis in the shopping street had not been resolved.
"A Yu, study hard." The ancient city tree wanted to speak but stopped, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, patted his shoulder, and turned to hand over documents with several young men in black suits.
"Urban Life Planning Company?"
Thinking of the real estate queen, Xia Yu felt cold and quickly returned to the store. He found the business card left by Fengnozaki a while ago, and called. [Zero↑9△Xiao△Net△Net△W 09]
I called several times in a row before I could get it back.
"Hey?" The tired female voice was puzzled.
"Miss Mine Nozaki, do you still remember me? It's from the Xia Chinese Cuisine Store in Ueno Old Shopping Street..."
"It's you!"
Before he finished speaking, the other person said with a little surprise: "Why, have you changed your mind? Let me tell you, that area is very suitable for development. I promise that my plan will make everyone profit."
"I said that Xia's shop will always be there." Xia Yu** said.
"Then you call me by my private phone, is there anything wrong?" As a strong woman in the workplace, she immediately changed her tone and asked calmly.
"Are you still planning your business? There are many time-honored stores in our store streets that have been acquired..."
"Of course the project has not been suspended...wait! What are you talking about?!"
Menguchizaki came back to her senses, her voice a little furious, "I stopped purchasing last time I came back. Are you sure that many stores in the store street have been acquired recently?"
The other party's tone didn't look like it was pretending. Xia Yu's heart was shocked, and he knew what was going on.
Competitors are involved!
"Yes!" he said quietly.
"I, I'll go investigate first and wait for my news, soon!" Minenosaki hurriedly hung up the phone.
call.
Xia Yu stood at the store door, staring at the increasingly depressed old shopping street, and always felt that it was not a solution.
The shopping street needs to be changed, but completely demolishing and rebuilding is to destroy the cultural atmosphere here. Without fashionable shopping malls and elegantly decorated Western restaurants, fewer and fewer young people come here. Passers-by on the street are older, which inevitably gives people the impression of insufficient vitality and old-fashionedness.
If it weren't for Xia's shops, it attracted many young people. This shopping street is indeed like an old man who is gradually entering his old age, guarding the last bit of afterglow and quietly being eliminated by modern life.
Xia’s store has taken root in the shopping street and it is impossible to be immune to it. This is also the reason why Xia Yu feels full of crisis.
Just imagine, if he didn't care about anything and waited for the surrounding stores to be bought out by a real estate company and only the Xia store was left, would his struggle still make sense?
Even though he became the strongest nail house and was surrounded by construction sites and high-rise buildings, Xia Yu was full of powerlessness just by imagining the picture.
There is still an hour left to open the store for business. Coincidentally, today Saturday is the first day when the store has fully switched to the appointment system. Last night, Xia Yu also sent An Yilun the menu message to him for updates in the background of the website.
From six to seven, seven to eight, eight to nine, and so on, until midnight, 6 dining hours were fully booked.
The number of people who order meals can be seen in the backend of the website. This planning means that Xia’s store transforms into a meticulous customized service, and is no longer a extensive business that can receive as many people as you come for half a month of spring break.
There is no way, Xia Yu also likes money very much, and no one thinks he makes too much money. But he is the only chef in the shop, so he can't come here. Moreover, his VIP venue plan has not been implemented yet. The focus of the next stage is to open up VIP areas and VIP user promotion.
He also thought it through. Selling glowing dishes is a huge profit. The simplest dish of "fried Qingjiang cuisine" starts at 100,000 yen and is used to entertain celebrities, distinguished guests and big dogs. It just happened to scrape some folk fat and paste back.
...
As night gradually approaches, the lanterns hanging outside the Xia shop are quietly lit up.
One by one, one by one, or one by one, went to the shop with laughter and joy, and sat down and had a meal.
And just opposite the Xia store, a small antique toy store that has been acquired, several black figures appeared on the windows on the second floor.
"Team leader, the information about the Chinese cuisine restaurant has been sorted out."
Someone handed out an intelligence letter to a blond young man.
After a few glances, the blonde young man threw the folder at his feet, "It's all ordinary information. I asked you to investigate the background of the head of the household. Is there any result?"
"That old guy named Xia Qing is a Chinese Sichuanese. There are not many intelligence personnel we can call there."
"Is Mainland China? No wonder!" The blonde young man looked fearful. Not to mention the huge dark organization that has survived to this day, the king of food in China who has been in charge of the country for nearly 30 years, it made it difficult for the tentacles of their organization to penetrate into the ancient and mysterious land.
"what to do!"
A man in black said anxiously: "On the organization, let us buy this area in a month, and the industry will be placed in the organization's real estate company, which will cover up the people's eyes and ears!"
"Observe for two days first!" said the blonde young man.
Meanwhile, the igo neon headquarters building.
Top floor office.
Masato Kamihara summoned Ryoko Lina, Aoki Sonta, and pointed to the files on the desktop.
"Look, the IGO headquarters has sent a document to let us pay attention to the recent trends of food. Food will mobilize people, and it seems to stir up the storm in our neon local area."
Aoki Sect was too grinning, and his expression suddenly became ferocious, "Those guys are here!"
The Food Club is the mortal enemy of the IGO International Food Institution. The two organizations have been entangled since their birth.
igo is an international institution recognized by countless chefs, and under the darkness, another organization, the Food Club, is also recognized by a group of dark chefs.
