Chapter 29: Combining Vertically and Horizontally

On the third day, the surrounding restaurants and bars continued to reduce their prices by 10%.

The business of Zhang Ji Restaurant, even with the blessing of fine wine and spicy hotpot, finally couldn't sustain it.

There were 30% less customers, and most of the people who came here came just for a bite of spicy hotpot.

The restaurant's original side dishes and drinks business has declined sharply.

Zhang Fugui was anxious and restless, and wanted to go to Gu Jiaoyu to discuss countermeasures, but for some reason, Gu Jiaoyu had been hiding in the county school for the past two days without even showing his face.

Li Changan took the list given by Zhang Fugui and visited each house.

The first place we went to was the highlighted Liu Family Restaurant.

"Boss Liu, I have long admired you."

"Who are you……?"

"I'm Li Chang'an, the second son of the Li family. I'm supplying the spicy hotpot at Zhang Ji Restaurant."

Da Liu with the mustache was slightly stunned. How could the scholar-looking young man in front of him know how to make spicy hotpot?

If Zhang Fugui hadn't revealed something in advance yesterday, he wouldn't have believed it.

The mustachioed man turned sideways slightly and said, "Mr. Li, please come in."

Li Changan followed the mustache towards the inner courtyard. The mustache asked, "I wonder if Mr. Li is here today. What advice do you have?"

"I'm here for the Malatang." Li Changan got straight to the point. He wanted to talk to twenty companies today and didn't have much time to spend on polite greetings.

"Now Malatang is in the spotlight. We are just a small restaurant and we don't dare to cause public outrage at this time." The mustache said as he walked.

"I also know the purpose of Mr. Li's visit, but to be honest, everyone knows the current situation of Zhang Ji Winery. If I choose to get together with Zhang Ji Winery at this time, there is no guarantee that I will not become the next Zhang Ji Winery."

"If Zhang Kee Winery is really crushed, Liu Family Restaurant will become the next Zhangji Winery." Li Changan said calmly, "Today Zhang Kee Winery is gone. Next time they will do it again. Who can stop them?"

?”

"This time because of Malatang, next time maybe it will be a new recipe. If we can't break the shackles of big restaurants, the tenth big restaurant in Linxian County will never appear."

"Anyone who wants to leap over the Dragon Gate will be beaten down. The Liu Family Restaurant is currently the most promising, but it is also the easiest to be targeted by major restaurants."

Li Changan made the situation clear without being polite.

The mustachioed brows furrowed, and his steps moved a little faster, leading Li Changan into the inner courtyard and room.

Li Changan's words really touched his heart.

Who doesn’t want to grow their business?

However, the bigger the business, the more vulnerable it is to being targeted. Especially when taking the final step, there are many dangers. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted and you will be completely defeated.

"If Zhang Ji Restaurant wins this time, it will become a flag, a flag that breaks through the blockade of big restaurants, proving that such a joint blockade is nothing more than a paper tiger."

"When the time comes, there will be a second and third restaurant. Who can guarantee that the next one will not be the Liu Family Restaurant?"

"But if Zhang Ji's wine shop disappears, who will dare to resist in the future?"

The mustache poured Li Changan a cup of tea. Li Changan took a sip and looked at the mustache. He did not speak anymore, but waited for the mustache's reaction.

In fact, he does not need to explain this matter so clearly. These restaurant and restaurant owners who are not involved in the alliance will definitely be able to see clearly.

It's just that these people lack the courage to risk everything.

The tea cup was filled with steam, and the room was very quiet. He frowned with his mustache and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, the mustache raised his head and looked at Li Changan who was drinking tea, "What can Mr. Li give us?"

“Spicy hotpot base.”

"Not the formula?"

"Boss Liu was joking. He gave me the recipe when he came up. What should I do next? And to be honest, this is an opportunity to make a bet with Zhangji Restaurant and Malatang base."

"But I can guarantee that we can supply five boxes of Malatang base every day."

The room fell into silence again.

The mustache suddenly said, "The risk is too great. If you win, everyone will be happy, but if you lose, you will never recover."

"Blocking one Zhang Kee Restaurant requires the use of five surrounding restaurants and restaurants. If there are five or even ten Zhang Kee Restaurants, does Boss Liu think they can blockade them?"

"They are just relying on everyone's mentality to clean up their own troubles. If they really want to unite, why would a big restaurant dare to be so rampant?"

Li Changan said loudly, his voice unconsciously getting louder.

The mustache seemed to be seeing Li Changan for the first time, and he couldn't help but look at Li Changan again, trying to see the hint of awe in his face that was not consistent with his scholarly temperament.

When they first met Li Changan, he was gentle and polite, but just now his mustache and spine straightened slightly.

"What does Boss Liu think a big restaurant relies on?"

"Names of literature, fine wines, and special dishes." The mustache said subconsciously.

"In addition to the literary name, I have fine wine, and with the spicy hotpot base, I don't believe that Boss Liu can't come up with his own special dishes."

Li Changan said solemnly, as if he had changed from a piece of wood to a piece of iron, with a hint of determination on his face.

"Okay!" The mustached man was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and came out with this word.

After coming out of the Liu Family Restaurant, Li Changan took the prepared deed and headed to the next restaurant.

"This is an opportunity. As long as it succeeds, the road to the big restaurant will be smooth."

"The Liu Family Restaurant has agreed. Here is the deed. Boss Qin can take a look."



Come to the next house,

"Liu Family Restaurant and Qinji Winery have both agreed, and the deed is in my hand."

"Don't hesitate any longer. You really won't have a chance next time. This time, Zhangji Restaurant and Malatang base are ahead. The risk is not as big as you think."



After visiting twenty stores, it was already afternoon. Li Changan's throat was almost smoking, and he was so hungry that he pressed his chest against his back. He bought a piece of bread and squatted on the roadside with water to devour it.

Back at Zhangji Winery, Zhang Fugui was walking around the winery, like an ant on a hot pot.

Seeing Li Changan coming back, Zhang Fugui's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Fortunately, thirteen restaurants and bars are willing to introduce Malatang." Li Changan said, "We will start shipping the goods together tomorrow."

"Okay, there are thirteen, I want to see how they block it." Zhang Fugui finally showed a smile on his face.

But combined with his beard, his smile is a bit scary.

"If we can find one or two breakthroughs in these jointly blocked stores, let them rebel, and introduce Malatang, we can shake the opponent's military morale, and the effect will be better."

Li Changan said, "Does Boss Zhang have any good goals?"

"I'll go check it out tonight. The twenty-eight families will definitely not be the same." Zhang Fugui thought while stroking his beard.

"Boss Zhang, who is behind this blockade?" Li Changan asked.

"Qingyue Lou." Zhang Fugui revealed the information he had found out, "Qingyue Lou has supplied its own wine to the surrounding wine shops, and also brought out special side dishes."

"What is the best wine in Qingyue Tower?"

"A small bottle of Baihua Brewing only costs five taels, but it can be sold for one tael of silver. It is one of the best in Lin County."

Li Changan and Zhang Fugui walked into the inner courtyard, "Boss Zhang, if you can, I have a business here. I wonder if Boss Zhang would like to hear about it?"

Zhang Fugui looked at Li Changan's serious expression and nodded, "Tell me about it."

"This blockade may be an opportunity to make Zhangji Winery one of Linxian's signatures." Li Changan said seriously every word.

Zhang Fugui's pupils shrank, "Chang'an, are you sure? In fact, being able to survive the blockade is already very rare. There is no need to take such a risk."

"Besides, if we want to become a big restaurant, we don't have the strength yet..."

Li Changan took out the drawing he drew yesterday from his pocket and said, "This is a brand new dish that is not available in the entire Lin County."

"And I have wine here that is comparable to, or even better than, Baihua Niang."

"Boss Zhang, you can think about it. If you are willing to do it, I will share 50% of the profit."

"Of course, as Boss Zhang said, as long as the status quo is maintained and thirteen more companies join us, there will definitely be no problem in surviving the blockade."

Zhang Fugui breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart pounded wildly, and he swallowed, "Chang'an, what is the name of your business?"

Li Changan smiled slightly and said two words that were popular in his previous life,

"hot pot!"
