Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Dong Yong was indeed anxious. The He family branch was opening in half a month, and the original plan was to drastically reduce prices, with Dong Yong footing the bill. But now he was penniless.

If they can't quickly generate cash, there's no point in opening the He family branch. They can't expect the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant to also forgo receipts, can they? If that happens, whether the He family branch goes bankrupt or not is completely irrelevant!
"Brother Dong, here's what I'm thinking: since they're doing this in Beijing, why don't we send the goods to Tianjin?"
You're in a hurry to cash out, and your competitors are trying to stop you. The key is that we can't find the enemy. Why not try a different approach? We can sell in Jinshi too!

Chen Yousai gave Dong Yong a meaningful look. The idea wasn't bad, but it was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Anyway, he had already put in the effort!
Dong Yong stood up and paced back and forth in the room, beginning to consider the feasibility. If the capital was targeted, there couldn't be another one like it in Tianjin, could there?

"Okay, I'll get the car right away. To avoid any unforeseen problems, let's go tonight!"

Since they don't want to lower prices, they have to find another way. Tianjin is indeed a good option, since my cousin lives there, and it's similar to Beijing!
"Zhang Huajian, do you mean that Dong Yong and his group are planning to transport the goods to Jinshi?"

Chen Xueru looked incredulous. Last night, He Yuzhu said that the other party had evaded being followed and might be eyeing Jinshi. She didn't expect the news to come so quickly!

Sometimes, Chen Xueru felt that He Yuzhu was not human. How could he think of so many things and make plans in advance?

"Yes, Manager Chen, that's my guess. Otherwise, why would Dong Yong be in such a hurry to call for delivery trucks when we just lowered the price?"

Shouldn't they be continuing the price war with us now? This doesn't seem right. Mr. He asked you to do something, therefore…”

"It's alright, I was in charge of this matter anyway. Zhang Huajian, go to the steel mill now. The transportation has been arranged. After you get to Jinshi, go to this address, someone will be waiting for you!"

"The steel rolling mill? Someone's waiting for me?"

Zhang Huajian was speechless. It's just a car; he could handle it himself. Why bother going to the steel mill to find one?

"That's right, Director Yang's jeep has been ready for a long time, and the driver has been on standby. As for acquaintances, you'll find out when you get there!"

"A Jeep? Manager Chen, aren't we going to haul goods over there?"

"You'll see when you get there. Don't waste time. You're in a small car, so you can go fast. Remember, try to give way to large vehicles and don't let Dong Yong and the others recognize you. Let's get going!"

"okay, got it!"

Both sides were racing against time. What Dong Yong didn't know was that the Zhang family found out about the coordinated transport vehicles immediately. He Yuzhu left some of the goods in Jinshi just in case. Conversely, even if they weren't needed, they could still be sold in Jinshi after the outcome of the competition!
Dong Yong made a big mistake: he didn't guard against the Zhang family when coordinating the vehicles, and he didn't expect that the Zhang family had already cooperated with He Yuzhu.

It's no wonder, really. In the minds of these family scions, a chef like He Yuzhu is not qualified to cooperate with them. No matter how good his cooking skills are, he's just a servant. Does he deserve it?

Therefore, even though the Zhang family made their stance clear, Dong Yong still didn't expect that He Yuzhu and Zhang Hua knew each other, or that Zhang Huajian would personally get involved. If he had considered this, perhaps he wouldn't have been so reckless.
On the way, Zhang Huajian spotted a transport truck in the distance. Without even looking, he knew it was Dong Yong and Chen Yousai's vehicle. The jeep had no trouble taking a detour. In this way, without Dong Yong's knowledge, Zhang Huajian arrived in Jinshi first and found it according to Chen Xueru's directions!
"Chunming? When did you get to Jinshi? Didn't we arrive in Beijing together? You're quite the elusive fellow!" "Zhang Huajian? Haha, I was also sent here by my master not long ago. I've been watching over this batch of goods in the yard these past few days. Now that you're here, can we begin?"

“That’s right, the prey is on its way. Let’s lay out the goods now, is there a problem?”

"Of course, no problem. Manager Xue Ru's people are on standby and ready to take care of it anytime!"

"Haha... It's so much fun working with your master. You always anticipate the enemy's moves and take the initiative. I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
Although the real contest hasn't started yet, I'm sure your master will defeat that bastard Dong Yong, haha!

"Zhang Huajian, what happened in Beijing? Not long ago, he was so arrogant, thinking my master..."

"Stop! I didn't expect your master to be so amazing the other day, but now that I understand, I'm going to study under He Yuzhu for a while!"

"Oh? Tell me, how did the competition in the capital go while I was away? For someone as prestigious as Young Master Zhang to be so excited, it must have been quite a spectacle. It's a pity I didn't get to see it with my own eyes!"

Han Chunming knew Zhang Huajian too well. The two of them were sent-down youth together in Xiaoqinghe. At first, this guy and Mao were quite arrogant, but they gradually became more friendly in the days that followed.
However, the change in their attitudes was also because Han Chunming and the other two were like-minded; otherwise, just look at Chen Jianjun!

When someone says they want to learn from their master for a period of time, it's clear that this contest was a resounding and exciting victory for their side!

"At the very beginning..."

Zhang Huajian became more and more excited as he spoke, especially when he mentioned that he had earned more than 10,000 yuan, he couldn't help but stand up and wave his fist;
"You're quite something, kid. You've made so much money in just a few days. Too bad, I haven't made a single penny yet!"

Han Chunming's eyes lit up. Zhang Huajian's arrival meant that things could start in Jinshi as well. He was excited at the thought of making big money!
"What's so special about this? Your master is the one making the real money; we're just getting a little scrap!"

"What? You're not convinced? Don't forget where we transported all this stuff from. Could we have done it without my master?"

Han Chunming rolled his eyes. He had always thought his master was a cook, or at most a deputy director of logistics. But after going to the south, he realized what a real big shot was.
A special shipment was sent from Hong Kong Island, which traveled directly to Tianjin with the equipment ship from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, without any obstacles along the way.
The key point is that everything was arranged in Hong Kong, and the price was super cheap. My share was even a gift from my master. Otherwise, even if I knew, I wouldn't have had the chance to get rich!

"No way! Not even my grandfather could have that kind of influence. The situation in Hong Kong is special; the Zhang family doesn't have that kind of face!"

After Zhang Huajian told his older brother and grandfather about this experience, his grandfather didn't say anything, but just sighed and said "unfathomable", it was unclear whether he was referring to He Yuzhu or the Hong Kong businessmen.
However, it is highly likely that it refers to He Yuzhu. Without He Yuzhu, this batch of goods could not have come to Beijing smoothly, nor could it have been sold smoothly. It can only be said that everything that should be considered has been considered!

"Good to know, haha, it's time for us brothers to take action. I wonder if Dong Yong will cry when he sees the situation in Jinshi?" (End of Chapter)
