Chapter 614 Targeted
When Lin Geng opened Pinwei Xuan and the hotpot restaurant before, he didn't bring them along. They felt a little uncomfortable because they thought they were Lin Geng's loyal dogs. Lin Geng was doing such a big business but didn't bring them along, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
But on second thought, the current income of the two brothers is already considered high in Beijing. It was all given to them by Lin Geng. What else could they be dissatisfied with?
Over the years, these two guys have finally figured it out. As long as they follow Lin Geng, they will not suffer any loss. But if they leave Lin Geng, they will be nothing and no one will care about them.
So after understanding this, these two guys have followed Lin Geng wholeheartedly over the years. If Lin Geng tells them to go east, they will never go west. If Lin Geng tells them to chase a dog, they will never chase a chicken. They are so loyal to Lin Geng that they even call themselves Lin Geng's loyal dogs.
Lin Geng has also been observing the performance of these two guys. Over the years, they have been loyal to him and very useful. Not only are they obedient, but they are also very tight-lipped. So after opening the distribution center, he handed over the management of the distribution center to these two guys, and also allocated some shares to each of them. These two guys were almost happy to death, and they almost knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Geng to show their loyalty. They patted their chests to let Lin Geng rest assured that they would run the distribution center well.
This distribution center was initially responsible for delivering various ingredients to Pinweixuan and Dingzhuang Hotpot. After it became stable, it would consider supplying ingredients to other catering companies. In this way, it would be more convenient to mix the various ingredients in his small world into the ingredients in the distribution center.
Of course, he did not put all the food from his own small world into the distribution center. At the same time, he also invested in building a large number of greenhouses in Zhaojia Village and several mountain villages that had been good to him in the past, helping them develop their own specialty vegetable planting or breeding industries. This was also a way of giving back to these poor mountain villages and helping them get rich together.
After he established Pinweixuan and Dingzhuang hotpot restaurants as well as the distribution center, many people finally saw the business opportunities of running restaurants. As a result, many hidden wealthy people began to invest in the catering industry, making the catering industry in the old city prosper rapidly.
Soon after Lin Geng's Pinwei Xuan and Dingzhuang Hotpot opened, all state-owned restaurants began to feel tremendous pressure. In the past, everyone's service attitude was the same. These restaurants also had their own characteristics, and they didn't care about making money or not. The service attitude was appalling, and they acted like, "This is how it is, you can eat it or not."
However, as Pinweixuan and Dingzhuang Hotpot continued to open branches, the business of some old state-owned restaurants began to plummet. The originally bustling scenes were gone forever. A large number of customers were attracted away by Pinweixuan or Dingzhuang Hotpot and no longer patronized these state-owned restaurants.
So when the managers of state-owned restaurants saw that their business was getting worse and worse, and also knew that a large number of customers were being siphoned away by Pinweixuan, Dingzhuang Hotpot, and various newly opened private restaurants, they began to complain to higher authorities, asking them to crack down on private restaurants, forcibly close them, and prevent them from squeezing out state-owned restaurants.
Their superior departments also attach great importance to this. After all, the income of these state-owned hotels is related to their own interests, as well as the income and employment of a large number of hotel staff. Therefore, the superior departments discussed this matter and discussed whether private hotels should be encouraged and should exist.
As the leader of private restaurants today, Lin Geng, the de facto owner of Pinweixuan and Dingzhuang Hotpot, was interviewed by some departments. Some leaders who hold on to old ideas asked Lin Geng to stop expanding his business and not to compete with state-owned restaurants for customers. They also asked Lin Geng to gradually close the restaurants that have already opened.
In response to this, Lin Geng immediately fought back against these people and told them bluntly that opening a restaurant was allowed and encouraged by national policy and was in line with national needs. They were using administrative means to interfere with their production and operations, which was contrary to national policy. If they insisted on targeting him, he didn't mind reporting the matter to the higher authorities.
Lin Geng's tough attitude surprised some leaders. At first, they wanted to use their power to force Lin Geng to do what they wanted. However, Lin Geng was not afraid at all. He immediately used his connections to report this behavior to the relevant leaders of the local departments.
During this period, relevant departments visited the restaurant under Lin Geng's name many times, made all kinds of difficulties, and even found various reasons to force the restaurant to close and accept so-called rectification.
Lin had anticipated this earlier. He knew that opening a restaurant would definitely lead to opposition from some people, and even that he would be envied by some people because of his wealth. He would inevitably be targeted and suppressed at the beginning of his career. However, he did not panic because he knew the future development trend better than anyone else. Once the wind of reform and opening up started, it would be unstoppable and could not be stopped by some people with their power.
But Lin Geng was not afraid, but that did not mean that others were not afraid. The first person to be frightened was Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui took out his savings and invested more than 4,000 yuan in Dingzhuang Hotpot. Lin Geng gave him 5% of the shares, which made Yan Bugui very happy. Moreover, Lin Geng did not disappoint his high expectations. As soon as Dingzhuang Hotpot opened, the business was booming. In just two months, the profit made back the 4,700 yuan he invested, which almost made Yan Bugui faint with joy.
But soon, some higher authorities began to target Lin Geng's Pinwei Xuan and Dingzhuang Hotpot, sending people to inspect them and asking them to suspend business for rectification. Yan Bugui was not calm at this moment. He hurriedly found Lin Geng and asked him if Lin Geng would be in trouble? Could the restaurant still be opened? Was the higher authorities going to change their direction?
Lin Geng saw Yan Bugui's worry at a glance, and he obviously wanted to back down, so he smiled and said, "I can't say that. After all, our restaurant business is so good that many state-owned restaurants are having a hard time, so some departments are coming to cause trouble for us!
Are you worried and want to withdraw your shares? If so, I will return your investment money to you now, and give you the dividends that should have been given to you in the past two months, and you will no longer be my partner! How do you think? "
After listening to Lin's more words, Yan Bugui was obviously happy for a moment, but immediately he looked conflicted again and was embarrassed and didn't say anything for a long time.
