Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu's eyes were cold. In recent days, as various news came in, everyone else was like ants on a hot pan, but he remained calm and unhurried.

With Han Chunming and Yang Huajian returning from Tianjin, Chen Xueru and the others could no longer sit still and wanted to get the goods out as soon as possible, which was why they had been held back by him.

This is not a business competition, but a contest of human nature. What He Yuzhu wants is not to win a competition, but for Dong Yong to go bankrupt completely.

Although it is still unknown how much effort Dong Yong has put in, it must have been considerable, which is He Yuzhu's ultimate goal.

At this moment, He Yuzhu had already completed his deployment, while Dong Yong had just received the goods and it would take some time to distribute them. This was the time difference that He Yuzhu wanted!
If we start too early, Dong Yong won't want this batch of goods, and we'll have enough cash on hand. If we start too late, we'll only be able to engage in a price war!
"Zhu Zi, don't worry, everything's been planned and deployed. We're sure to win this time!"

"It's still uncertain, go ahead and get busy!"

Chen Xueru's confidence stemmed from the fact that the goods were already in the hands of the street vendors and could be distributed immediately. Dong Yong would take some time to react, but He Yuzhu's side was also prepared.
The business world is like a battlefield, where people are killed without shedding blood. At this moment, Dong Yong probably never imagined that they had already prepared a counter-offensive.
He Yuzhu wasn't that confident. The goods came from Hong Kong Island, so the cost was very low, but there were also some concerns.
At this time, the relevant materials have not yet arrived. If Dong Yong uses his family's influence, he will immediately be at a disadvantage. Director Yang should be more reliable!

The next day

"Brother Dong, we've had our goods at the pigeon market for a day, but so far, we haven't sold a single piece. The young people who used to run the pigeon market a few days ago have all suddenly disappeared..."

Chen Yousai was almost in tears. He had invested all of his family's share. If the products didn't sell, how could he explain it to his family? He hadn't discussed this with his family. Just thinking about his grandfather made his legs tremble!
"Impossible. Weren't there many people asking about it the night before last? How could they all have disappeared in just one day?"

Dong Yong's expression changed drastically. He had thrown all the profits he had made over the years into this venture. If it failed, he might lose his right to inherit the family headship!

Grandpa repeatedly emphasized that the main task was He's Restaurant, and everything else could be postponed. Thinking of the consequences of failure, Dong Yong felt dizzy. He hadn't felt fear in many years.
"Not a single watch was sold last night, let alone a radio. The entire Pigeon City is full of poor people, not a single young person."
I've been keeping watch on Pigeon Market, but our men haven't made a single move all night. Brother Dong, what should we do?

Chen Yousai wanted to slap him across the face. "Damn it, you're just bored and have nothing better to do than come to me to give false intelligence, aren't you?"
"Investigate, find out what happened. A sudden disappearance is definitely not right!"

"check?"

"That's right, let all the younger siblings in the family go out and ask the peers and classmates in the compound to find out what's going on."

His sudden disappearance is definitely not normal. I hope Li Huaide isn't playing any tricks, otherwise, I'll teach him a lesson about the Dong family's power. I'll show him that just because he has a father-in-law, he can't cheat us!

Dong Yong's first reaction was that he had been tricked by Li Huaide. Li Huaide was the only source of goods in the capital, and he hoped that this guy would not have any improper thoughts!
"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Dong Yong watched Chen Yousai leave with a gloomy expression. "Li Huaide, Li Huaide, once we're short of manpower, you old bastard will play tricks on me. You won't have an easy time!"
These days, it's rare to find families with a thousand or so yuan in savings, let alone tens of thousands.
It is clear how significant this sum of over 300,000 yuan is. This represents all the income from operating the pigeon market over the years. If it is lost, the Dong family will be completely put in a passive position.
The Chaoyangmen Pigeon Market isn't just owned by the Dong family; there are many other businesses with vested interests involved. If they fail, they'll offend a whole bunch of them!

Chen Yousai quickly notified his younger siblings to inquire where other people of the same age in the compound had bought their electronic watches.
When I got home, I saw that my younger siblings each had a digital watch. I asked them what was wrong and found out that the watches were forty yuan each, a full ten yuan cheaper! "Brother, no need to ask anymore. Two people went straight to the gate of the compound tonight to buy them. Many brothers not only bought watches but also radios. The small and exquisite ones were only one hundred and thirty yuan!"

"Wait, you mean someone's selling them at the entrance of our compound?"

"Yes, there are two people setting up a street stall just 200 meters outside the gate of the compound!"

"No, contact your classmates and see if they bought these, and where they bought them. Those who have a phone at home should call, and those who don't should ride their bikes to them. Be quick!"

"Brother, what's wrong with you..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Chen Yousai no longer had the patience to listen to his younger siblings' nonsense; his immediate priority was to find out if the flowers had bloomed in all directions.

Ten minutes later, my cousin found out that there were also stalls outside other courtyards, selling watches for ten yuan less and radios for twenty yuan less. The stall owners left as soon as they sold out!

Chen Yousai was shocked. If it was the same in other courtyards, did it mean that there were people selling [illegible items] at the gates of all the courtyards in Beijing?

If that's the case, wouldn't this batch of goods from Pigeon City be stuck in our hands? Dong Yong, you're a complete waste of a damn good-for-nothing!
Although Chen Yousai was very angry, he dared not delay because it involved a large sum of money, and immediately went out and ran to the courtyard where Dong Yong was!

"Brother Dong, here's the situation... In other words, someone else has also imported a large quantity of electrical products and is selling them in Beijing, a day earlier than us. Should we lower our prices?"

"No, don't lower the price for now. I want to see how much stuff these people have. Tell Li the Cripple to investigate. I want to see who else dares to cause trouble. The capital won't allow such arrogant people to exist, understand?"

Upon learning the situation, Dong Yong calmed down. The young people in the capital city are divided into several groups, but only two groups are the main consumers.
First, there are the children of employees in government compounds, who have money. Second, there are the children of working-class families, who don't have money, but are spoiled by their families and can afford to buy things.

As for the third group, their family members do not have formal jobs and are basically doing odd jobs. Even if they envy them, they cannot afford to spend their money.

Given this, the fact that the opponent made their move at this crucial moment, with such a targeted approach, indicates that they must have thoroughly investigated these circumstances long ago.

But how many children of high-ranking officials in Beijing are there? Can one person supply them all? As long as we hold onto this batch of products, it's time to sell them ourselves once they're sold out!
The key question now is who the opponent is and who else in Beijing is involved in the business dealings. This is the most frustrating thing. We've suffered such a huge loss and still don't know who the enemy is. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?
"Brother Dong, my gift comes from my family. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be..." (End of Chapter)
