Reborn 90s

Liu Haishan answered him seriously: "There can be many purposes for opening a store, and making money is only one of them."

Chen Ming took over the conversation in his own mind: "I also know that at his current retail price, it is impossible to make a profit, but what I find strange is: even if he is not the real boss behind the scenes, now this person is acting as a front-end

The boss should also know whether his store can make money and whether it is losing money."

Li Hu lit a cigarette, but because he was focused on talking, he forgot to give Chen Ming and Li Hu a cigarette...

After taking a drag on the cigarette, he immediately spoke again: "That's why I came to you today specifically to tell you that there is something weird and weird everywhere in that store. You can't be careless and you should be prepared for it in advance.

"

Li Hu interrupted again: "Why should we be on guard? Now our turnover is already losing more than 30% every day."

Liu Haishan nodded: "I thought about this. If his wine sells well, your and Niu Dewang's market share will definitely be greatly affected. After all, our consumption level in Shannan County is not high to begin with. The daily income from wine

There is an upper limit.”

Chen Ming was moved in his heart and blurted out: "Since making money is not that person's purpose, is his purpose aimed at me and Niu Dewang? Is his motive for doing this is to attack me and Niu Dewang by seizing market share?"

Liu Haishan shook his head again: "I have actually thought about this, but there is a big doubt. A foreigner came to our place to open a shop, and why did he deliberately target you and Niu Dewang? So this inference does not make sense.

"

"Brother Hai, you have overlooked one thing. Although the boss you see is a foreigner, the real boss behind the scenes may not also be a foreigner."

Chen Ming's extraordinary shrewdness was highlighted at this moment.

After the cigarette in Liu Haishan's hand was lit, he only took one puff and never took another puff. The long ash formed a swaying column of smoke, and the cigarette became a decoration in his hand.

He thought deeply for a moment and then said: "If you think about it this way, then this matter looks like a carefully conceived plan!"

Chen Ming nodded in agreement: "If my idea is not wrong, it is really likely to be a game! A carefully conceived and cleverly designed game, specifically designed to target Niu Dewang and I, but neither Niu Dewang nor I have any outsiders now.

enemies."

Liu Haishan, who had just been awakened by him, had already taken a longer and deeper look: "No, Niu Dewang may not have enemies outside, but you do!"

"I have?"

"You have also overlooked one thing. Your wines now have market share outside."

"I have already thought of this just now, but the potential market for all industries in Jinxia City's economic prosperity is huge, and my small share in the wine market is not worth mentioning."

Liu Haishan smiled: "You are already ranked third on the alcohol sales list in Jinxia City, so your share is not worth mentioning?"

Chen Ming was stunned again. He didn't know there was any other alcohol sales list in Jinxia City! Naturally, he didn't know that he had become the third place in the sales office.

Li Hu took over the conversation first: "Even so, we have never offended anyone in Jinxia City, so how could someone set up a trap against us?"

Liu Haishan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Do you know that there is an old saying: Every man is innocent but he is guilty of carrying a jade?"

"Brother Hai, I really don't know this sentence, and I don't understand what it means."

In fact, Chen Ming had already thought of this sentence just now, but he didn't say it before sorting out the matter and predicting it clearly. What they said now were all their own conjectures, and there was no evidence to show that this conjecture was correct.

Things that have not been proven can only be taken as precautionary measures, rather than taking the initiative to take countermeasures. What if there is no such thing. Of course, if you have to deliberately counterattack and retaliate, that is a different matter...

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming answered in a deep voice: "It's better to find a way to investigate this matter secretly first, and then consider what to do after we have the results."

Li Hu replied anxiously: "Four foreigners opened a shop here, how can we investigate?"

"There will always be a way. As long as you observe carefully, if there is a flaw, we will definitely find it."

After Liu Haishan left, the atmosphere became more dull. Chen Ming and Li Hu were each thinking hard. Chen Ming was still speculating on the possibility that he was deliberately targeted, while Li Hu was thinking about how to regain the lost market share.

.

Time slipped away slowly and unconsciously.

Then Chen Ming suddenly said: "I thought of a way."

"any solution?"

"Send someone to watch outside the wine shop, wait for the person who delivers the goods to that store to appear, and then follow the clues to find out who the delivery person is and where he comes from."

"Is this feasible?"

"This is the only approach we can take at the moment."

"Then I will immediately arrange for people to do this."

Li Hu hurried away, leaving Chen Ming alone in the office. He stood up and walked to the open window, trying to use the scenery outside the window to distract himself so that his brain could take a break.

moment.

It’s tiring to think about one thing over and over again.

Huang Mao suddenly walked in, put a brand new notepad on Chen Ming's desk, and then sat down without saying a word.

"What's this?"

"This is the revenue record of bus operations in the past few days."

Chen Ming didn't need to touch the book to know what Huang Mao came to see him for. And he didn't need to read the records in the book to know the current operating status of the bus.

So he deliberately smiled and said: "There is no need to show me this book, you can just read it."

"Brother Ming, I can barely earn more than a dozen yuan every day. Can we still continue our business? I have no confidence."

"Isn't this just the beginning? Everything will develop in a step-by-step process. Don't be so impatient. You must learn to be able to calm down."

Huang Mao began to complain: "How can I keep calm? The little money I earn every day is not enough to refuel the car."

"Take your time and things will get better gradually."

But in fact, Chen Ming knew well that the current situation of making ends meet in the bus industry would basically not get better in a few years!

In a county with a backward economy and extremely limited consumption power, buses are a luxury means of transportation, an accident that should not exist. Now it is good to have income every day, and it is almost impossible to make money.

possible.
