The first thousand four hundred and forty-eight chapters
Chapter 1,448: Justice lies in the heart of the people
Liu Zhang was in such an embarrassing situation, so he gave Xu Jing a chance to breathe.
——
Let’s go back to Xu Jing.
Just as Xu Jing guessed, sure enough, the next day, the rouge shop that had just opened in Dongshi came out with news that everyone had not expected.
The formula for the perfume was quietly stolen last night.
Shocked to hear this, many ordinary people who had used perfume began to speculate that this might be the result of the jealousy of the store's competitors.
Some people also speculated that perhaps such an important formula was stolen because the store failed to keep it safe.
All in all, during the Qing Dynasty, the entire city of Chengdu was full of people talking about this matter.
Some people feel sorry for it, and some people take pleasure in it. Many people have this kind of mentality. They can't see others being good, and they can't see others getting rich.
But this is just people's chat after all, what people talk about after dinner. When it comes to justice for this shop, those who feel regret or gloat are gone.
In fact, I didn’t see any big problem that night - it was one thing that the formula was stolen. The perfume was produced by them, so naturally they were the only one selling it, so the market in the evening
It is still extremely popular, and the scene of queuing up to buy perfume is even more exaggerated than yesterday.
Because the perfume formula was stolen, it became a means of publicity to some extent. Not only did it not affect their business, it actually made them earn more.
At this time, someone naturally said that apart from the possibility of jealousy, there is also the possibility that they are directing and acting on their own.
After this argument spread, no one cared about where the perfume formula went.
For several days, it seemed that things were about to be forgotten.
However, it was on the fourth night after the perfume formula was stolen.
People who came to queue up to buy perfume discovered that at the other end of the market, there was actually a rouge shop that started to attract customers under the name of perfume.
People asked the female shop selling perfume if the rouge shop on the other side had something to do with them... But after learning about this, the female shop reacted extremely violently, seeming to shout that the thief who stole the formula had been found, and she must have found it.
It was the newly opened shop that stole their formula.
After saying that, the female shopkeeper closed the shop and simply took the waiter to ask for an explanation. The crowd of onlookers also followed in large numbers with the attitude of watching the excitement.
As a result, I saw that the newly opened shop actually had perfumes for sale on the spot, and after asking, someone learned the identity of the owner behind the shop.
"Master Xu Jingxu?"
When I heard that the shop was owned by Xu Jing, the person who originally said that thieves were shameless stopped talking.
The key is that when the female shop owner of the original perfume shop was arguing for an explanation, the clerk in the shop was not angry at all, and just explained to the angry crowd:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. Our perfume is a formula devised by my father himself. We do not deny that the popularity of your perfume has inspired my father. But if you really want to slander my father,
, please come up with evidence, otherwise we will just think that you are jealous and don't see others getting rich!"
The speaker is full of energy and seems to be very good at mobilizing people's emotions. He speaks for us and for you. The key is that he speaks in an authentic Sichuan accent. The common people are just watching the fun, so of course they are helping each other.
Home, the momentum of this female store owner was soon suppressed.
In addition, I don’t know who mentioned it in the crowd that the boss behind this shop was Xu Jing. Those who had suspected that there was a theft here before were really stunned now and simply stopped.
No more questions.
In the final analysis, businessmen are businessmen, and fighting against officials will only lead to one outcome...
The female shopkeeper saw that her momentum was being compared, but she also discovered the other party's flaw, and quickly said loudly to the onlookers:
"We remember! It was this guy...it was closing night that day, and this guy sneaked into my shop and said he wanted to buy perfume, but we sent him away!"
"And our formula happened to be on the table that day. He must have heard the conversation between me and Xiao Ma, and sneaked in and stole the formula while we were not paying attention! I remember this face, it must be him!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at the waiter in the store in surprise. Some people recognized him as the current manager of the Xu family. Those who were not familiar with him called him Master Wen, while those who were familiar with him called him Xiao Wen. But in short, this matter happened because of the female storekeeper.
After identification, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xiao Wen seemed to have expected that the situation would develop in this direction, and he seemed more confident after being criticized by the other party.
Smiling and puffing up her chest, she came to the female shopkeeper and said to her with a smile:
"You said you saw it, so you saw it, but what does this have to do with the theft of your family's formula?
Can anyone prove that I took that recipe?
Can anyone prove that my recipe is the same as yours?
Since you think we stole your formula, how about we confront the contents of the formula and see what are the similarities and differences?"
"You! The formula was developed and prepared by our own family with so much hard work. How can we say that we want to insist on it and then take it out for you to check?"
The female shopkeeper seemed to be furious. She looked at the man in front of her and wanted to strike but didn't dare to do so.
Xiao Wen had already expected this, so he smiled even brighter. Not only did he laugh, he also slapped him:
"Everyone has heard it. We said we wanted to confront each other, but they were secretive and unwilling to cooperate. We can't tell who stole whose secret recipe..."
"You! You are so slanderous! You clearly said that your master got the inspiration for our perfume...and now you are slandering us for stealing your formula."
"Haha, inspiration is inspiration, but you don't know that my husband started developing perfume a long time ago and completed the draft several times. The reason why I let you get the first step is that what you stole was our husband's random handwriting.
The content below…”
Xiao Wen shrugged, looking like a victim, and his expression was quite innocent.
He turned around and shouted to the crowd:
"Everyone, justice lies in the human heart. I can assure you that the smell of our perfume is undoubtedly the best in the world. As for whether a certain brand's defective products are comparable in taste, I believe everyone will have their own judgment. Come on, come on,
Since you are all here, why not try our perfume?
Today happens to be the first day of opening, and the master has told me that no matter what grade of perfume it is, it will only cost fifty yuan!"
"Wha...what! Fifty dollars! This price is even lower than what they had on sale yesterday!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Xiao Wen smiled and greeted the exclaimed person:
"Not only does it cost 50 yuan, we also have a larger supply, so everyone present can definitely buy it!"
Now, the so-called confrontation has clearly decided a winner.
