Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

If you want to destroy my business, I will destroy the entire Jiangdao.

Come on, let’s hurt each other and see who suffers the greater loss. Do you believe that I can turn the entire Jiangdao into a dead city?

This is the power that Zeng Wangcai has accumulated after years of preparation. He can make most of the stores on the market close down and go out of business.

It can also close cinemas, stop taxis and buses from running.

In short, he can shut down any industry covered by his design.

"Closed? The store is closed?"

"Why do you want to close the store? We lose a lot of money if we close the store for one day."

"I don't know, you have to ask Brother Cai..."

"..."

The big brothers did not dare to question Zeng Wangcai's request, and did not even dare to ask why.

But among the residents who were watching, some bosses were confused and asked questions.

"I don't care why!" The big brother who sells beef offal immediately jumped out and said loudly, "I only know that without Brother Cai, there would be no Temple Street today, and there would be no Liu Yishou today. We all have food to eat and a good life because of this store in Temple Street.

"So no matter what Brother Cai says, I will do it. Even if I have to sell the store and start a new stall, I will be happy to do it."

"I agree!" Aunt Zhao immediately followed up and said, "Our pancake shop is closed. We won't open the door unless Brother Cai tells us to. People should be grateful..."

Look, there are people who know how to be grateful and take the lead.

The big brothers were all filled with shame. They actually expressed their opinions so late on such a big matter.

"Close, close everything, close in the afternoon!"

“The cinema is closed!”

"All our chicken shops are closed..."

"The minibus is closed..."

The big brothers immediately stood up and expressed their opinions.

Li Le, who was standing beside Zeng Wangcai, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really afraid that Zeng Wangcai would get angry and reshuffle the entire force.

"Good, very good, very good!" Zeng Wangcai nodded with satisfaction. "Let Lao Li inform you when the store opens. Lao Li, you can explain it to the CEOs."

"Okay, Brother Cai!" Li Le, who had been taken care of in advance and was originally the spokesperson for Zeng Wangcai, stepped forward without giving in and said, "The reason why Brother Cai wants everyone to close down is because the foreigners are bullying us too much. Not only have they stopped shipping to Wangye Island, they have also targeted Brother Cai's business everywhere, causing Brother Cai to suffer great losses..." After explaining the reason, Li Le continued, "Brother Cai said that he would not let everyone close down in vain and would compensate everyone. As for the time issue, that depends on how long it takes the foreigners. We will fight as long as they fight..."

Zeng Wangcai quickly stopped Li Le and told him not to say anything out loud.

"That's it!" Zeng Wangcai said at last, "Everyone go and get ready. Let's start today. If there is any further need later, I will notify you. Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't dare!"

"Brother Cai, do it immediately. Don't talk about compensation or anything else."

"We don't want compensation, Brother Cai..."

Some don’t dare to ask for it, and some don’t want it.

The big brothers have different ideas, but they all know how their own industries came about.

Zeng Wangcai did not interpret the big brothers’ thoughts too much. It didn’t matter. If they didn’t listen, just replace them.

After the meeting, Zeng Wangcai chatted with the residents and watched the bullets fly.

......

Night, late night!

The Presidential Suite at the Peninsula Hotel.

Both presidential suites of the hotel were booked by Yellen and Mason, one for each of them.

Since the strategy was set, Yellen has had nothing to do because this is Mason's territory.

Therefore, he basically stays at home every day, just hangs out in the hotel, and orders takeout when necessary.

That night Yellen woke up, no longer wanting to sleep, and rang the bell to call the housekeeper.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" the butler asked respectfully.

"Go find me two girls!" Yellen rubbed his eyes and said, "Local girls, not the Russians. We don't want girls from our area either. They have too much hair."

"Yes, sir!" the butler agreed respectfully again.

After coming out, the housekeeper picked up the phone to order takeout.

Half an hour, a full half an hour, the housekeeper came back with a surprised look on his face: "I'm sorry, sir, something is a bit strange tonight. All the stores I asked about were closed. I tried to find them through other channels, but was told that they were all closed for the next few days."

"Close the business? Are you crazy?" Yellen was annoyed and angry. "Didn't you give more money? People like them will definitely agree as long as there is money to be made."

"Sorry sir, they don't want money!" The butler apologized again and reminded, "Sir, something seems wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"A lot of shops have closed since this afternoon."

“What’s wrong with the store closing?”

"After the closure, the shops didn't open, and more and more shops closed, and later even public transportation stopped."

"What does this have to do with us? Do we need to go out in a minibus?"

"..."

Obviously, Yellen, who is in a state of annoyance, has not yet realized the problem.

The butler didn't dare to say anything, as he actually didn't know much else.

Yellen had no channel to enjoy herself, and fell asleep in depression. She did not wake up until the next day. When it was time for breakfast, the housekeeper pushed in the food cart.

Yellen has always attached great importance to breakfast. She will never miss the time and has very high requirements for the quality of meals.

In the morning, he likes to eat a small piece of tender steak, a fried egg, a slice of bread and a glass of fresh milk to meet his needs for most of the day.

But today, Yellen felt something was wrong after taking a bite of steak.

"I said that the steak I need for breakfast cannot exceed the specified time from the time the cow is slaughtered to the time it is served to me. What is this?"

This cow has been dead for a week, right?

Yellen drank a mouthful of milk and then spit it out: "The milk is not right either..."

The housekeeper was stunned, then immediately went to find the hotel housekeeping department.

As a result, the head of the housekeeping department said to the housekeeper very apologetically, "Please be more particular. The whole Jiangdao Island is in chaos now. All businesses are closed and there is no place to buy fresh food."

The housekeeper then realized that the situation had developed to an even more serious level overnight. Not only did those closed shops not open, but other industries also joined the trend of closures.

He immediately reported the situation to Yellen, but Yellen never dreamed that this matter was related to Zeng Wangcai, so she could only go to Mason.

Mason was also very confused at this time. He didn't know what had happened and could only call Wei Xin.

Wei Xin was already having a headache at the moment. The entire Jiang Island was paralyzed. This had never happened since he took office.

Check, check now!

But there is nothing to be found, and the more we investigate, the more serious the situation becomes. Some office workers are already questioning the inaction of the authorities.

Wei Xin had no choice but to report the matter to his boss immediately. Then his boss knew about it, which meant that Mason's family knew about it as well.

It was another night. Mason and Yellen gathered together in sorrow, waiting for their family's questions. They didn't dare to sleep because it was only daytime at the family's place.

Finally, the phone call came and Mason answered it timidly.

The other end cursed at him: "Idiot, I asked you to ruin Zeng Wangcai's business, not Jiang Dao..."
