"Dad, I'm not blind. I can still see whether there is business in the store!" Zhou Shiqi frowned slightly, "Didn't the business of our tea house used to be very good? How could it end up in this situation now?
"
When he mentioned this, Zhou Jianguo became angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Peng is not the one who eats everything. In the past few months, first you were in a car accident and lost your memory, then you ran away from home, and then we were attacked again.
I was not in the mood to take care of the tea house's business, so I entrusted Yuan Peng with full management of the tea house."
"It was fine at first. Yuan Peng took care of the teahouse in an orderly manner, so we felt completely relieved and came less often."
"But who would have thought that since we haven't been here for a while, the business of the tea house will become what it is now..."
After taking a breath, Zhou Jianguo cursed angrily: "Yuan Peng, that bastard, took advantage of our absence to take advantage of the purchase channels, directly canceled the order with the original supplier, and replaced it with a new supplier he found.
.”
Zhou Shiqi raised his eyebrows: "To get kickbacks?"
"If the supply from his new supplier is similar to the original one and he wants to get some kickbacks from it, then I will just turn a blind eye and pretend I didn't see it." Zhou Jianguo's face turned gloomy.
The water came out, "But he should never pass it off as good. This is ruining the reputation of our tea house and chilling the hearts of customers. They should be punished."
"But that's not the most serious thing..."
"Isn't this the most serious? What other shameful things did he do?" Zhou Shiqi asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Jianguo's chest heaved violently, and after a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yuan Peng not only shoddy the supply of goods, but also bought a large amount of snacks that were close to expiration or even expired. Many customers ate them in our tea house.
The stuff is causing vomiting and diarrhea.”
"These customers all came to make trouble, but they were all suppressed by Yuan Peng, and the news did not reach our ears."
"We came here today and realized something was wrong, so we learned the news from A Hong."
Zhou Shiqi rubbed his temples. He knew very well that those in the catering industry were most afraid of food hygiene and safety problems. Once such an incident occurred, the reputation of this restaurant would really be ruined.
"What exactly does Yuan Peng want to do? Doesn't he know that being so reckless will expose the matter sooner or later?" Zhou Shiqi frowned, somewhat confused as to what was going on in this man's mind.
If you want to get rebates, wouldn't it be better if the money flows slowly?
To ruin the reputation of the tea house and make it impossible for the tea house to succeed in business, isn't this a waste of money?
Dong Huijie, who had been silent all this time, sighed and said: "Yuan Peng's purpose is very clear, which is to ruin our tea house's business."
"Ruin our family's business? Do we have a grudge against him? Let him spare no effort to deal with us?" Zhou Shiqi couldn't help but be curious. He felt that with the character of good people like his parents, they should not have enemies with others. This matter is clear.
Looking weird.
Dong Huijie waved to Zhou Shiqi and asked him to look out the window: "Did you see a new high-end buffet restaurant opened opposite?"
Zhou Shiqi's mind was spinning very fast, and he said slightly surprised: "Are you saying that Yuan Peng did this because someone ordered it, and that this is malicious competition among peers?"
Dong Huijie nodded: "We have inquired and found out that the owner of the cafeteria opposite is related to Yuan Peng. As soon as we came here today, Yuan Peng said he would resign and left."
"He has done so many immoral things, which has caused the business of our tea house to disappear, so you just let him go?" Zhou Shiqi really didn't know what to say. His parents' tempers were still too high.
Well, if it were him, he would have to beat Yuan Peng so hard that even his own mother wouldn't be able to recognize him.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, they are running a cafeteria and we are running a tea house. The water from the well is not invading the river, right?" Zhou Shiqi said, touching his chin.
"Son, you should also know how our tea house operates. We charge tea at various prices per person." Dong Huijie explained with a smile, "For example, a customer ordered a cup of black tea worth 98 yuan.
Iron, within the four-hour stipulated time, he can have unlimited refills and eat as many fruits and snacks as he wants."
"To put it bluntly, our teahouse is actually very similar to a cafeteria in some aspects."
Zhou Shiqi nodded, but still had some doubts: "Our teahouse focuses on leisure, which is quite different from the buffet restaurant which focuses on eating, right?"
"The business philosophy is indeed different." Dong Huijie let out a long sigh, "But they regard us as competitors, what can we do?"
After a pause, Dong Huijie added: "Moreover, the trouble doesn't end there. The lease term of our tea house is coming soon. We want to renew the lease with the landlord for three years, but the landlord is so aggressive that the annual rent has been increased from 300,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.
All of a sudden it went up to five hundred thousand!”
"Half a million?!" Zhou Shiqi screamed strangely, "Why didn't he grab it?"
Zhou Shiqi actually has a little idea of the annual profit of his family's tea house. Excluding a series of expenses such as rent, water and electricity bills, staff wages, etc., the net profit is only between 300,000 and 500,000.
Now the annual rent has suddenly increased by 200,000 yuan from the original basis. The reputation of the tea house has been ruined by Yuan Peng, and the business has plummeted. Under such circumstances, their annual net profit may not be as high as
Two hundred thousand!
If you renew the contract with the landlord, isn't this a clear sign of a loss-making deal?
Zhou Shiqi took a deep breath and said: "Dad, Mom, if you want me to tell you, our tea house should simply be closed. Now that you two are older, you should retire early. From now on, you can enjoy the happiness at home."
, it’s up to me to make money to support my family.”
Hearing this, Dong Huijie smiled happily: "Son, Mom knows that you are filial and have a future, but this tea house is the hard work of your father and I for so many years. We are really reluctant to suddenly ask us to close the business.
"
"The tea house is my life and foundation. I firmly do not agree to close it!" Zhou Jianguo waved his hands repeatedly with a very firm attitude, "Moreover, the cafeteria opposite actually used such despicable means to compete maliciously. I really hate this tone.
I can’t swallow it.”
Zhou Shiqi squinted his eyes, his expression became colder, and he said slowly: "Dad, what do you want to do?"
"Your mother and I have decided to re-brand our tea house and win back the hearts of our customers step by step!" Zhou Jianguo said solemnly.
Zhou Shiqi couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. He knew that with the character of his parents, even if they were bullied to the point of being bullied, they would only act honestly and honestly instead of using crooked ideas to seek revenge.
