Ling Tongyu put down the newspaper in his hand in disappointment, sighed, and looked defeated.
"Xiaoyu, don't be discouraged. Although Dahan didn't hire you this time, it doesn't mean you're not good. Besides, didn't you submit an application to the New York Fashion Institute of Technology? Maybe you will be admitted?"
Seeing that her friend was depressed, Mu Yanqing comforted her from the side.
"Xiaoyan, you don't need to comfort me. If Korea doesn't enter, there will be no hope in New York." I originally hoped to work in Korea to change my destiny, but now that it has failed, I can't help but feel a little regretful and feel very disappointed.
"How come your skills are inferior to others?!" Mu Yanqing said excitedly after hearing her belittle herself, "You haven't even finished high school. All of those people are top students who graduated from well-known design schools, regardless of academic qualifications or
My experience is countless times greater than yours, but you still made it to the finals. Only ten people entered the finals!"
"It's not good, it's not good, Xiaoyu, something happened, something happened." As the two were talking, Aunt Huang, the owner of the women's clothing store next door, hurriedly walked in, with a look of panic on her face, and she was a little incoherent in excitement.
"What's wrong? Aunt Huang? Are you okay?" Ling Tongyu stood up and asked with concern.
"Xiaoyu, Beidamen is about to be acquired. The landlord just called me and told me that she won't rent to me anymore and wants me to move out within a week. She won't rent to me even if she has to pay liquidated damages."
Many merchants have already received the notice, and I think you will be there soon."
"What?! The acquisition" news came so suddenly, Ling Tongyu and Mu Yanqing were stunned at the same time. What is going on? They have never heard of it before.
"How could this happen?" Mu Yanqing reacted in advance and said, "Why should it be acquired?"
"What company wants to acquire Beidamen?" Ling Tongyu was very angry and asked with a frown. The poor people worry about food and clothing for three meals a day, while the rich people keep hurting themselves in order to get richer.
The interests of the poor!
"It seems to be some kind of Korean Fashion International Group. Anyway, it's a very big company. I heard that they want to turn Beidaemun into their fabric processing factory. They pay a lot of money, so those homeowners see the profit and they go to
Korea reached an agreement on acquisition and demolition and drove away the merchants.
It’s really hard for us now. Hey, I have been here for more than ten years and finally managed to build a small scale. Now, I have to move when I have to move, and there is nothing left. Only three of us are left.
I can’t even finish the laundry in three days!” When Aunt Huang said this, she couldn’t help wiping her tears and sighing again and again.
"Xiaoyu, what should I do now?" Mu Yanqing was also worried, "You know, I spent all my family's savings to open this store, and my parents are pointing to the income from this store.
How could Ling Tongyu not know how big a blow this sudden news would be to all merchants? Her clothing store is also the place where she depends for survival!
"Protest! How can this be done? I just renovated the store!" At this time, someone stood up outside the store, crying and shouting angrily.
"I just invested 50,000 yuan in goods, this is my capital!"
"The landlord wants me to move tomorrow. What will happen to my goods? What should I do?"
After a while, the entire North Gate was in commotion. All the merchants received notices from their landlords restricting their movement, and everyone ran to the street. Everyone's face was filled with anger, and some were crying.
The news came so suddenly, no one was prepared, and it almost killed these people.
"Xiaoyu, what should we do? Do we need to move immediately?" Mu Yanqing also started crying. If her women's clothing store was gone, how would she explain it to her family?
Ling Tongyu looked at the excited but helpless crowd in front of him without saying a word.
"No, we can't sit still and wait for death. We must unite. There are more than a thousand shops in Beidamen. If they are acquired, how will we survive?" Suddenly, Ling Tongyu looked at the crowd in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said indignantly.
said.
"You are right, but with such little power, how can we compete with Korea, which has so much wealth and power?" Mu Yanqing said worriedly and with a sad face, "It seems that my parents' hard-earned money will be lost.
How should I explain to them? They were originally going to save this money for my brother to get a wife."
"That's right, Xiaoyu, what can we do? I heard that Dahan Group is very powerful! They have branches all over the world, and even the government must be wary of them!" Aunt Huang had no information or hope at all.
"Negotiate! Let's go to the president of Dahan Group to negotiate! Protest to him." Suddenly, Ling Tongyu said.
"What? Negotiation? With the CEO of Dahan?" Immediately, the surrounding merchants became quiet after hearing these words, and looked at Ling Tongyu with puzzled eyes.
Ling Tongyu jumped up on the stone table, held his hands in the shape of a trumpet and put them to his mouth, and said loudly——
"Everyone, listen to me. Many people have spent their whole lives working on the shops here. We can't just hand over the shops obediently. We must unite to safeguard our own interests! Therefore, we need to negotiate with people from Korea.
!”
"Yes, you are right!"
"Can't sit still and wait for death!"
Ling Tongyu's words received positive responses from everyone, and everyone's hope was rekindled.
"But how are we going to negotiate with the president of Daehan? Who should we send as our representative?"
