Chapter 57 Counterattack

The next day, Chengdu East City suddenly became a boiling fire. In front of all the Haijia Restaurants, a flagpole was erected and a huge flag flag was picked. The fiery red flag flags were printed with three eye-catching black characters: "Snow Mud". A long counter was placed under the flag flag. Snow Mud was sold in a large amount of price. Snow Mud was served in a small porcelain bowl, with only eight cents a bowl. This is the Haijia relied on its strong financial resources to tear off the luxury goods of snow mud at a price lower than the cost, destroying the fashion of the Wangjiang Restaurant's snow mud.

The Hai family is coming in full force and is promoting its teahouses, restaurants, brothels and other places. Due to the extremely cheap price, the Hai family's snow mud spread rapidly like a ball of raging fire in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.

The Hai family's counterattack was vicious and accurate, just like a fake brand flying all over the streets in the future. It even caused several romantic events. It was said that the eldest brother of the Zhang family drank two more bowls of turtle shell soup during dinner. He met the aunt of the Li family who was walking under the old hibiscus tree. The eldest brother glanced at her sideways, looked at her with a warm look, and laughed in a low voice: "Girl, how about coming to my house to taste the snow mud?"

The aunt Li's face flushed, and she looked shy, only to regret that she did not have a small slap fan in her hand to cover her shame-covering face. She had to cover her mouth with a chicken-like hand and laughed: "You damn, I don't like the gentleness of Han Yancui. If you savor me a bowl of the sound of the desert flute, I will come."

The three words "Snow Mud" are quickly losing the price, as cheap as a large handful of chicken and feathers for a penny.

Wangjiang Restaurant is also quickly adjusting its strategy, first changing the name of the snow mud to Wangjiang Tower Snow mud, canceling the supply of snow mud on the first and second floors, and at the same time, significantly increasing the price of snow mud from fifty to one hundred and fifty, with limited supply. In addition, Wangjiang Poetry Club was established, and some famous poets were invited to the hotel to talk about poetry and paint another layer of cultural paint on the Wangjiang Restaurant.

The Hai family also reacted very quickly, and immediately changed their snow mud to Wangjianglou snow mud, which was exactly the same. At the same time, in order to promote the winter, the price of snow mud was reduced to five cents per bowl, and used the coarse porcelain bowl containing snow mud as a gift. They bought it at the door of the store and left. They also rented dozens of small shops in various streets and alleys in Chengdu, and quickly spread the sales network to the whole city.

The popularization route of Haijia Xueni has achieved great success. The snownie was completely torn off the coat of luxury goods and walked into the homes of ordinary people. The mysterious halo that Wangjiang Restaurant has worked hard to establish suddenly disappeared. In November, the turnover began to decline, and some old customers in the East City gradually returned.

At dusk that day, Li Qing was half lying on the chair and pondering the next strategy. Since Liu Ye's death, he also expected that the Hai family would fully imitate his model. In response, he tried hard to reduce the role of snow mud in management, perfect every service detail, and strive to establish the golden sign of Wangjiang Restaurant.

But the Hai family's moves too quickly, which made the brand he had worked hard to establish was shaky. This is because the time was too short. If he was given another half a year, no matter how the Hai family made a fuss, he would not be affected at all.

Now, he also admitted that the Hai family's methods were indeed ruthless. It hit his weakness and put him in a dilemma. He either gave up the snow mud and found another way, but that would be equivalent to giving up the snow mud that he had worked hard to develop, and he was unwilling to give up; or he would not be able to compete with the Hai family, but he might not be able to compete.

"Do you want to find a way to make the situation come back?"

Li Qing paced back and forth, and the cost of a bowl of snow mud was at least ten cents, while the Hai family only sold five cents, and there were other costs such as publicity fees, rent fees, etc. The huge losses could be sustained. It makes people sigh that the Hai family has strong financial resources. It seems that the Hai family made the best plan to squeeze itself out first, and then monopolize the market and then raise the price to make up for the losses.

Li Qing stopped, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly thought of a solution.

At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor, and soon the sound of footsteps disappeared in front of his door.

"Master, the young master of the Hai family is here again, right at the gate."

"knew!"

Li Qing opened the window and looked downstairs, but saw Hai Zhongtian standing at the door, waving to him.

Hai Zhongtian comes to report almost every day. Now he seems to have regarded Li Qing as a money tree and ask for money when he has nothing to do. At first, he was ten or twenty. However, since he became obsessed with the Red Mansion of the Jade Building, his expenses have increased sharply and his expenses have also developed to hundreds of cents. Li Qing no longer gives money free of charge, but asked him to write an IOU, which has been paid four times in total, and has accumulated nearly a thousand cents of cents.

"What? The money is spent again?"

Li Qing walked out of the store and saw him laughing apologetically, and frowned slightly: "If you spend money like you, I will sooner or later be emptied by you."

"Brother is joking. How could I emptied such a large restaurant?" Hai Zhongtian smiled, his nostrils swollen like balls, and his eyes almost disappeared.

"Brother, help me. If I can't take out the money, Yanru will be redeemed by someone else. You can't stand by death and refuse to save me!"

"You idiot, you have spent at least 800 guan on her, 800 guan! Brother, you haven't even touched her hair. Don't you know she is trying to catch your appetite?"

"No! No!" Hai Zhongtian waved his hand desperately and said, "Yan Rushi can't help but feel that she likes my poems the most, and she is sincere to me."

"That's a big deal, tell me! How much do you want to borrow this time?"

Li Qing snorted coldly, it was really a misfortune for such a fool from the Hai family to make him a family.

Hai Zhongtian was overjoyed and stretched out two fingers, "Two Hundred Spots!" He was afraid that Li Qing would not give it, so he hurriedly said, "This is the last time. The madam has promised that she can redeem Yanran for 200 Spots, please brother!"

"I'm afraid things are not as simple as you said, how could the madam do business at a loss?"

While cursing, Li Qing took out a 200-ton deposit note and half a jade ring from his arms and handed it to Haizhongtian: "This is a 200-ton deposit note from Wang Baoji's Cabinet. Just withdraw money with this 200-ton deposit note."

Hai Zhongtian wrote the IOU, took the deposit ticket and the jade ring and ran away with great gratitude. Li Qing took out another small yellow silk bag from his arms and carefully put it in. There were five of this one, a total of one thousand guan. With this thousand guan, it was enough to force Hai Zhongtian to death.

Li Qing sneered in his heart: "One day the Hai family will die at the hands of this idiot."

Just after taking two steps, I smiled sinisterly: "Why am I so stupid? Isn't it the best opportunity now?"

Li Qing waved his hand to call Zhang Wang, stared at Hai Zhongtian's back and gave a few words. After hearing this, Zhang Wang was so sad that he was about to twist out the water.

"Master, you are too immoral! Tell me to do this."

Li Qing was furious and raised his foot and kicked him hard, "Don't fart, go quickly!"

Zhang Wang had no choice but to agree and took a small road to the Jade Building.

Li Qing clapped his hands and was about to enter the door, but a fast horse ran from afar and rushed straight towards the Wangjiang Restaurant. When he reached the door, he immediately jumped off a heroic officer, which was Nan Jiyun.

Li Qing was overjoyed, "Which gust of wind blows General Nan? Come in and have a glass of wine to warm your body!"

After saying that, he grabbed him and pulled him into the store.

Nan Jiyun broke free gently and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Li, but I have official duties now, and I will disturb you again another day."

His face was solemn, and he straightened his body and said loudly: "The Jiedushi has an order and ordered Li Qing, Wangjiang Restaurant, to see him quickly!"

"Now?" Li Qing looked up at the sky, and a few dark clouds floated from the west, and it was getting dark.

"Yes! Things are urgent, please go there immediately."

"Okay! Wait for me to call the carriage." Li Qing turned around and smiled, "Do you know what Ji Yun is doing?"
