Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

In the subsequent communication, Jiaopiyu told Zeng Wangcai some details about the Ma family's past, which fully demonstrated that Da Ma was a very cruel person. For the sake of money, he would not recognize his relatives and exploited the employees who worked hard for him.

But because the craftsmanship left by Boss Zhong is very good and many customers are used to eating there, the teahouse's business is very good.

And because a considerable amount of money is paid to Che Zai Xia every month, Che Zai Xia will definitely protect Malaysia.

This is a bit difficult to deal with. Che Zai Xia is still easy to deal with, but since Zeng Wangcai has decided to help Linghua, he is destined to be the enemy of Che Zai Xia.

If you want to make it big in Jiangdao, it is impossible to be clean and not involved in everything. It is better to offend one side and cooperate with the other side at the same time, so that there is someone to take the blame in front.

"Excuse me, how did you get kicked out back then?" Zeng Wangcai asked.

"This is embarrassing!" Rubber Fish was a little embarrassed. He asked his younger brother to leave and left Linghua here. "There are two points in the contract left by my family that cannot be touched, otherwise you will be kicked out;

"First, the goods must be genuine and the price must be fair. Anyone who uses inferior materials to deceive customers will lose their shares if they are discovered. Second, anyone whose performance declines severely during the operation will lose the right to operate for a period of time. He schemed against me for years, and I was accused of both crimes. I had no choice but to leave."

In fact, it is simple to explain. The owner of the teahouse, Mr. Zhong, is very far-sighted. In order to ensure that the teahouse would not be lost, he started thinking after seeing his adopted son had two sons. Finally, he decided on a strategy of mutual checks and balances, letting the big and small Ma take turns to run the business.

But Da Ma was ruthless. During Xiao Ma's operation, he bribed the veterans to frame Xiao Ma, and finally kicked Xiao Ma out in one fell swoop.

"So... now that you're out, is there any follow-up to the contract? For example, after one party is out, the other party automatically becomes the permanent boss?" Zeng Wangcai discovered a loophole.

"No..." The rubber fish was startled, and suddenly realized the core of Zeng Wangcai's words, "Brother, you are amazing, why didn't I think of it for so many years..."

There is no follow-up, which means that Rubber Fish is still qualified to inherit, but he has been blinded by hatred for so many years and did not think of this.

He continued, "If I use his method to take back the teahouse, even if Che Zai Xia goes to the senior to negotiate, it will be useless. I will sell the shop to you, and there will be no more news from now on."

This guy was smart and he thought of a solution right away.

But even though there are countermeasures, it is quite difficult to implement them.

Zeng Wangcai thought about it and whispered something in the rubber fish's ear. The more the rubber fish listened, the brighter its eyes became.

"Brother Gao, if you can get this done, I'll give you a discount..."

......

As I said before, Zhongji Tea House’s business is very good, very good.

During morning tea, many old customers come to drink tea. The lobby on the first floor is used to do business with ordinary people, and the private rooms on the second floor are for people with more money or status to consume, and a minimum consumption amount is set.

The upper floors are not used for business.

However, the teahouse's main revenue comes from the first floor, because the turnover rate on the first floor is fast and tables can be shared, which greatly compensates for the low unit price.

It was not yet the time when the teahouse would be busiest for morning tea, but business suddenly became booming. Many unfamiliar faces walked into the store, found a place to sit, and then ordered a combination of local dishes such as shrimp dumplings and white porridge and started eating.

Old customers who came later can only share tables!

But those who arrived first ate very slowly. They wanted to eat the shrimp dumplings until they were chopped up, and they wanted to eat the rice grains of the porridge one by one.

As for those who ordered tea, the tea had no taste left and they chewed and ate the tea leaves and still hadn’t finished it.

As a result, the turnover efficiency of the teahouse was greatly reduced.

That’s not all. On the second and third day, more and more slow eaters flocked to the teahouse, taking up the space of old customers.

The owner of the teahouse, Da Ma who looked very much like a rubber fish, noticed something was wrong. That day he came from the back to the front lobby to observe the situation. The more he looked, the angrier he became.

"Aqiang, come here!" Da Ma, with a sullen face, called a waiter, who was a lobby manager or something like that, and pointed at two people sitting at a table in the middle of the lobby and said, "Drive them away. They spent more than an hour eating a basket of buns and are still picking their toes. They are here to cause trouble."

A Qiang led two of his men to find the guy who was picking his toes, and drove them out angrily.

"Hey, are you kidding me?" The guy who picked his toes was overjoyed and stood up and yelled, "You are bullying me. Is it illegal to eat slowly? You kicked me out and I haven't finished eating yet. You are bullying the guests. Look, you are bullying the guests..."

Obviously, these were Zeng Wangcai's bad ideas.

It's too easy to ruin a store, especially when there are people around.

Moreover, not to mention the matter of buying a shop, just because of Malaysia’s ruthlessness, there is no psychological burden to do it.

Soon, the lobby was in an uproar. Those "customers" who were in the same group as the foot-picking guy naturally stood on his side, making it completely impossible for the entire teahouse to do business.

"A Qiang, give him a free meal and let him go!" Da Ma said, suppressing his anger.

"Free? I...thank you, boss!" The guy left quickly. Anyway, the time was up and he could save money by leaving.

As a result, other people refused to do it and asked for a free meal.

In order to ensure future business continued, Malaysia reluctantly let everyone leave without paying.

After everyone had left and the lobby was empty, Dama realized something was wrong.

"Fuck it, who is messing with me?" Dama's face was gloomy. He loved money the most. The losses of the past few days, plus the free meal just now, made him heartbroken.

He vaguely guessed that it was the rubber fish that was causing trouble, but there was nothing he could do. The other person came honestly to have morning tea and it wasn't like he wasn't paying.

This situation lasted for many days and caused Malaysia to be extremely anxious.

After finishing a day's business, Da Ma had no choice but to call a meeting of the store's veterans to discuss countermeasures. Among them was the veteran who framed Xiao Ma - A Bao, who is now respected as Uncle Bao by the people in the store because of his old age.

"Everyone knows about the situation during this period. Tell me, what should we do?" Da Ma pinched his brows and said with a headache, "If this continues, the teahouse will collapse and your jobs will be in jeopardy."

It is true that Malaysia exploits its employees, but they are exploiting the grassroots, such as waiters. People like Bao Bo who are in charge of purchasing and A Qiang who are in charge of the lobby are given everything they deserve, and even more, so they form a community of interests.

If the teahouse goes bankrupt, it will be difficult for them to find another place where they can receive such treatment.

Therefore, Malaysia trusts them very much, at least on this issue.

"Boss, they are clearly causing trouble." Ah Qiang was the first to voice his opinion. "If I say we can't kick them out, then we can put up a sign in the store stating that our morning tea time is up and they must pay and leave when the time comes. That way, when we kick them out, they won't have anything to say."

"That's definitely not okay..." Uncle Bao objected immediately, "How long should the limit be? What about the regular customers who really come to drink tea? Some of them are slow, and even if they are not slow, they will be unhappy to see these rules."

"What should we do? Just let them make a scene?"

"No, no, no, how is that possible? I think we should let the boss go find Brother Xia. We gave him so much money, Brother Xia can't just ignore us. He should protect us..."
