The Era of Hard Work

Modu, the head office of Yum China.

In the spacious meeting room, an important meeting is going on.

An executive from Yum! stood at the head of the conference table, emphasizing the focus of the next stage of work to the general managers of each region.

"Some time ago, I asked many employees in the company, who is our KFC's main competitor?" The executive scanned the audience and said, "Almost all I heard was one answer—McDonald's!"

He glanced at the conference room: "McDonald's must have KFC. It has become a common sense perception among urban consumers in China before, but this perception is changing, especially in North China and East China, where the economy is the most developed, it is gradually becoming Hamburg. There must be KFC in the royal residence!"

The regional general managers present here are not surprised by this. Now Burger King has nearly a thousand stores all over China, and its scale and turnover have surpassed McDonald's, becoming the second largest Western-style fast food chain brand in the Chinese market.

The executive also said: "Especially in the northern coastal provinces, there must be Burger King next to KFC. Burger King even has a wider coverage than KFC, and has penetrated into the county-level market!"

"Everyone, when our eyes are still on McDonald's, Burger King has risen and is becoming KFC's biggest competitor in the Chinese market. We must pay attention to Burger King! The focus of today's meeting is how to suppress the development of Burger King , maintain and further expand KFC's market share..."

The door of the meeting room was knocked suddenly from outside, the executive's speech was interrupted, and he looked over there displeased.

"Enter."

The door opened from the outside, and a person walked quickly to the executive, said a few words in a low voice, the executive's displeasure disappeared instantly, and was replaced by surprise.

It was as if something unexpected and uncontrollable had happened.

The executive only thought about it for a few seconds, and said to this person: "Connect the video and the Internet, and play it on the projection screen."

The person immediately goes to work on the matter.

The executive suddenly looked at Geng Hongju. Geng Hongju was inexplicably flustered. Did something happen to her?

"You ask someone to book a ticket back to Quannan." The executive said to Geng Hongju, "Go back to Quannan immediately after the meeting."

The access work was completed at this time, and the news video was projected on the white curtain in the conference room.

The executive said: "The topic of our meeting is about to change. KFC is facing the biggest public relations crisis since it entered the Chinese market!"

When the news video was played, the general managers of KFC's various regions suddenly went into an uproar. They were unprepared for this!

Sudan red, a high carcinogen, appeared on the regular news of the provincial and municipal TV stations in Taidong, followed by countless media, and the matter was serious.

It's impossible to cover it.

In contrast, KFC’s Burger King, which is just about to be put on the roster of major competitors, was not only safe and sound in the test, but its data was far better than the national standard.

After discussing for a while, the executive said: "If you are familiar with food supervision in your area, contact the public relations immediately and ask them to conduct a random inspection of the local Burger King. Quannan is the headquarters of Burger King. They may have tampered with it!"

Both KFC and McDonald's have problems, how can Burger King stay out of it?

Could it be that the production and quality standards of domestic companies are comparable to those of multinational companies like them?

But bad news came one after another. As soon as the news from Taidong Province was exposed, many provinces immediately conducted special sampling tests on the Western-style fast food industry. Among the announced test results, many foods from KFC and McDonald’s became Sudan Red hardest hit area.

KFC and McDonald's burst into flames everywhere.

Similarly, in all the sampling tests, Burger King, which has always adhered to strict internal testing, has gradually established a good reputation for food safety responsibilities.

Quannan, Gasgoo Logistics Park.

A semi-old Volkswagen sedan drove out from the main entrance and stopped on the side of the road.

The rear door opened, and Gai Shiying got out of the car, stood on the sidewalk, and looked at the gate. The heroic look on his face with Chinese characters was gone, and his hair was slightly messy, with a sense of decadence.

Seeing the logistics park that he created with one hand, the foundation that he racked his brains to build, and the leading logistics company in Taidong, Gai Shiying couldn't let go of it for a while, and didn't want to leave.

Because of this departure, Gaishi Logistics will be entrusted, and it will inevitably change hands.

Once I leave, I am afraid I will never come back.

The main reason why it can be delayed until today is that He Yi asked him to deal with the equity change. The shares held by Liu Yun were bought back by Gai Shiying.

Liu Yun and the person behind her have no relationship with Geshi Logistics ever since.

The driver came over at this moment and said, "Boss, how about..."

Ge Shiying shook his head: "Needless to say, I can't delay this time. I have to go. If I take the initiative to go, I may come out in a few years. If I am passive, I may be in it for the rest of my life."

No one knows better than himself what he has done before: "You... wait until you come back, drive this car, find a stable job, stop doing illegal things, and you have to pay for illegal things." The price may be fine at the time, but it cannot be avoided after all.”

"Boss..." The driver was somewhat moved.

Regardless of anything else, Gae Se Young treated him pretty well.

In this area, many people know Gai Shiying. When they see him standing at the gate of the logistics park, they inevitably look around curiously.

The driver stood by and felt that the boss was very pitiful. After making such a big business, he had to surrender and go to jail just because he made some small mistakes.

Gai Shiying stood and looked at it for a while, then said, "Let's go."

Before leaving, he saw a newspaper vendor next to him, so he went to buy a copy of "Taidong Evening Post".

When it was time to pay, the old newsstand owner quickly declined: "Mr. Gai, you can take the newspaper, as long as you take it."

"As much as you want." Gai Shiying left a dollar and turned to get in the car.

The black Volkswagen sedan started and drove towards the city.

When Ge Shiying opened the newspaper, he saw the news on the front page of the newspaper.

"KFC and McDonald's detected the carcinogen Sudan Red, involving thousands of restaurants in 16 provinces!"

The huge headline is shocking. While reporting the incident, it also focuses on the chemical raw material Sudan Red and its toxicity.

In addition, on the lower part of the front page, it was reported that none of the Burger Kings that were sampled at the same time involved Sudan Red.

Ge Shiying couldn't help shaking his head, Lu Dong and Lu's Catering are simply perverts, how can they do business like this?

Even now, Ge Shiying still feels that Lu Dong's way of doing business is purely mentally flawed and his nerves are abnormal!

Passing by the North Park, I suddenly saw the Burger King and KFC stores next to each other.

Ge Shiying couldn't help but look over there, his gaze passed through the transparent glass curtain wall, and he could see clearly that there were very few customers in KFC, and the Burger King next to him was not to say that it was overcrowded, but he could also see that there were quite a few customers in the store. many.

Going forward, you will encounter Burger King, KFC or McDonald's one after another.

As the first initiator of this incident, Ge Shiying even asked the driver to stop on the side of the road near the store entrance and observed it for a period of time.

Affected by the Sudan Red incident, KFC and McDonald's are empty, and Burger King's business is still booming.

Why did it become like this? Even though Ge Shiying has been in business for many years and still controls a leading company in the province like Ge Shi Logistics, he still can't figure it out.

He was clearly targeting Lu's Catering, thinking that before being forced in, he would cause some bigger troubles for Lu's Catering, so that he could get some relief.

But troubles arose, and the big ones didn't end there. The victims were not Lu's Catering, but their direct competitors KFC and McDonald's.

These two foreign fast food restaurants have suffered a lot, but Lu's Burger King has become the biggest beneficiary. Maybe the development momentum in the next few years will surpass those two.

How could things be so outrageous?

Make trouble, turn into a super assist...

Gai Shiying couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it, asked the driver to drive, and rushed all the way to the criminal police team of the city bureau, explaining his purpose.

Because of the situation above, the task force of the Municipal Bureau has not been established for the time being, but it will be established sooner or later. As a result, the task force has not yet been established.

The case involved by Gao Yan has ended with Gai Shiying. Many people know that things are not that simple, but they will not foolishly dig deeper.

In this society, there are many things that people have to make compromises. If you persist in some things, not only will there be no results, but you will get yourself involved.

There are smart people who want to check, and they know that even if they do, now is not the best time.

Many of the cases that Ge Shiying was involved in were not complicated as far as the investigation was concerned. What was really complicated was how to promote the investigation.

With the arrest of Gai Shiying, Gai Shi Logistics was temporarily placed in custody because of the many issues involved, and it will be dealt with after the case here is finalized.

In a hut near the fishing port in Daocheng, Su Wei soaked a cup of instant noodles, sat on a stool and waited in a daze.

It is not easy to live by the sea in winter, and there is no heating in the house, which is really difficult.

Su Wei took out his mobile phone, dialed a phone number, and the notification sounded - the call you dialed is temporarily unanswered!

"Can you have some credibility!" Su Wei was so angry that he wanted to drop the phone, but he raised his hand and stopped quickly. Without this phone, even contacting the outside world would be a hassle.

Su Wei grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around his body to keep out the cold. The musty smell on the blanket made him uncomfortable.

Cold and hungry, Su Wei suddenly regretted it, but he had a good life, why should he mix these bad things? The people who get it are neither human nor ghost.

Before leaving Qingzhao, his friend gave him the TOEFL to the people in Daocheng, saying that he would go to Korea first from Daocheng, and then from Korea to the United States, so that he could join his wife and children.

The friend said that he helped him change the money into US dollars and gave it to him before he got on the plane, but there is no news so far.

The people from Daocheng entrusted him to arrange him here, let him wait at ease, and then lost contact.

Su Wei waited for a while, opened the lid to eat instant noodles, just picked up the fork, the door was kicked open from the outside, and people in navy blue uniforms rushed in and pressed him firmly to the ground.

"Name! Tell me, what's your name!" The person who asked the question spoke with a green accent.

"Su Wei! I'm Su Wei!"

It was verified that the person was not caught wrong. The Qingzhao police thanked their colleagues in Daocheng. After completing the formalities, they escorted the arrested Su Wei back to Qingzhao.

Waiting for this person will be severely punished by the law.
