Chapter 131: Just kidding

During this period, the He family had to pay a lot of money, and He Yongqiang felt the pain.

The next day, when this group of people left the tavern with a large amount of wine, He Yongqiang finally couldn't help it and followed them secretly.

However, as these people turned left and right and walked around in a big circle, they finally entered a small alley.

He Yongqiang took a closer look and was almost angry to death.

My goodness, isn’t this the alley behind Fengze Garden and the Civilian Canteen?

In other words, these people bought the wine from me at a low price and finally sent it all to Pingming Canteen? Could it be that I have been working as a laborer for the Pingming Canteen for free for the past half month?

He Yongqiang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Next, they tracked several groups of people, but found that no matter what excuses these people used, they would eventually deliver the purchased wine to Fengzeyuan.

"Xu Huizhen, you're really too cruel, aren't you?"

When He Yongqiang returned to the tavern panting and told Xu Huizhi the news, Xu Huizhi was also stunned.

Wow, the couple worked hard for half a month and finally attracted so much popularity, and all the big customers during this period were sent by Xu Huizhen!

In other words, they all made wedding dresses for Xu Huizhen!

Moreover, during this period of time, Xu Huizhen has imported a lot of goods, and the price has fallen to the bottom line. They have no further to fall. If they continue like this, they will not have enough funds to operate. But Xu Huizhen has a large amount of inventory, so no matter how much they sell for, they will make a profit!

"As expected of Xu Huizhen, she can still play like this, quite interesting!"

When Chen Xueru learned the news, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

It was thought that the price war started by Xu Huizhi's tavern would soon put the civilian canteen out of business, but Chen Xueru did not expect that Xu Huizhi would break out of the vicious cycle of price war and pull off a trick to revive the canteen.

This move is absolutely amazing!

"Boss Chen, you promised us that you would provide us with financial support. We can't run our tavern any longer!"

He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi looked at Chen Xueru with pleading expressions.

Their family was not well-off to begin with, and after all this trouble, they could no longer hold on.

And now, Chen Xueru, the owner of this silk shop, has become their only lifeline.

"I can't help you with this gap!"

However, facing the two people's eyes asking for help, Chen Xueru was particularly indifferent.

"Don't you understand now? The one you are competing with is not Xu Huizhen, but Fengzeyuan behind them. Even if I, Chen Xueru, am rich, I am no match for the boss behind them. I advise you to stop in time. The most important thing for a person is to know yourself."

Xu Huizhi, "???"

He Yongqiang, "???"

My goodness, it was Chen Xueru who gave me advice in the beginning, and now that I’m in trouble, Chen Xueru actually chooses to stand by and watch?

He Yongqiang's temper suddenly flared up.

"Chen Xueru, what do you mean?"

That look is almost murderous.

They had just taken over the tavern from He Laonian, and before they could enjoy it yet, the tavern was going bankrupt. How could he accept this? It was such a waste of money!

"Don't look at me like that."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes. From the beginning to the end, she didn't take the couple seriously.

Chen Xueru said calmly,

"This is a new society now. Everything must be legal and compliant. This is the path you chose. I didn't force you!"

Without waiting for Xu Huizhi and He Yongqiang to refute, Chen Xueru continued,

"Of course, it's not impossible for me to help you."

Chen Xueru looked at the couple and said arrogantly,

"You can sell this tavern to me! This way you can get a lot of money, and I won't lose anything, right?"

Business is like a battlefield, where only the fittest survive and the big fish eat the small ones.

The Chen family has been developing for so many years, and Chen Xueru has been exposed to a lot since she was a child. Before, she instigated Xu Huizhi and Xu Huizhen to fight, not only to test the depth of Xu Huizhen and Fengzeyuan, but also because she had a fancy for this tavern.

Anyway, no matter whether she wins or loses, Chen Xueru will not lose money.

"What? Sell it to you?"

He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi were both dumbfounded.

It was not until this moment that they realized something.

It turns out that their tavern was part of Chen Xueru's plan from the very beginning.

This tavern is their way of making money. If they sell it to Chen Xueru, won't they be left starving in the future?

"Of course, I'm not in a hurry. You can think of another solution. Once you figure it out, it won't be too late to talk to me again!"

Chen Xueru smiled slightly, not bothering to pay attention to the two shocked people, twisted her waist, turned around and left the tavern.

However, the moment she walked out of the door, a hint of coldness flashed across her pretty face.

In her first fight with Xu Huizhen, she failed!

Chen Xueru had always had smooth sailing since she was a child. She didn't expect that she would be surpassed by Xu Huizhen this time. She felt quite unhappy!

And at the same time.

Fengze Garden.

Fan Jinyou, who had been working for a while, came here again and started complaining to his elder brothers Fan Jinwu and He Daqing.

"Brother, Brother He, what do you think is going on?"

"During this period, I basically went door to door to promote public-private partnership, but no one paid any attention to me."

"I did everything I was supposed to do, but for some reason, I just can't get it!"

Ever since Fan Jinwu officially started working at the Zhengyangmen Street Office, he has been trying to promote public-private partnerships according to He Daqing's instructions.

However, no matter how he persuaded, no boss followed him, which made him extremely depressed.

Little did people know that it was only the second half of 1953 and there was still a long time before large-scale public-private partnerships could be achieved.

Even though special regulations and norms on public-private partnerships were established in 1954, in 1955, many business owners were still waiting and watching.

The transformation of concepts still takes a long time to digest. Moreover, these corporate assets are inherited from ancestors or earned by people themselves. It is not easy to ask them to give them away.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning!"

Fan Jinwu patted his brother's shoulder and comforted him,

"Public-private partnership is not that easy, Jinyou, you still need to persevere!"

As he spoke, Fan Jinwu turned his head and looked at He Daqing.

"Brother He, tell me, how should we deal with this matter? Or you can give some advice and encourage Jin You!"

Fengze Garden has been running very well during this period. Although there were some problems at the civilian canteen, everything is under control. Fan Jinwu can also see that Chef He of Fengze Garden has a lot of clever ideas.

"Manager Fan, I think Jin You's opportunity is coming soon."

He Daqing looked at the two confused brothers and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
