Hanyang City, a chain catering company affiliated to Meihua Group, Xiangmanlou.
Meihua Group started out as a real estate company, but recently the government has tightened its control over real estate and the real estate bubble has become serious. Meihua Group has begun to gradually withdraw from the real estate market and operate in an all-round way.
Xiangmanlou chain catering is an industry that Meihua Group will mainly operate in the future. It has invested several hundred million and has many stores in various cities in Hanyang Province.
Xiangmanlou has good service, delicious dishes, and specializes in green and healthy food. In today's era of serious environmental pollution, as soon as the food with the banner of green, healthy and pollution-free is launched, it is widely welcomed by people from all walks of life. Every store is full of food every day. It is fully booked, and in just a few months, 70% of the initial investment has been recovered, with considerable profits.
After discussing with Wen Qing, Li Sufang even planned to make Xiangmanlou an important direction for the future transformation of Meihua Group, striving to open stores in every corner of the country within three years.
However, Xiangmanlou's business has plummeted in the past few days. More than a dozen stores in the city have been empty for three consecutive days.
Li Sufang and Wen Qing were greatly shocked and personally came forward to investigate the cause.
At noon, at the Xiangmanlou store on Fengguang Road in Hanyang City, a female customer with a child was about to come in to order food, but another woman suddenly appeared next to her and grabbed her.
"Xiaoyun, why do you still come to Xiangmanlou? This place is outdated. Now everyone goes to Wankelai."
The woman named Xiaoyun asked with some confusion: "This place specializes in green and healthy ingredients, and the service is good. How can it be outdated? What's so good about Wankelai?"
Xiaoyun is a white-collar worker with only one son at home. She has good living conditions and pays great attention to diet and health. Green and healthy food has always been her first choice.
The other woman is Xiaoyun's colleague. She got off work at noon today and went out to eat with Xiaoyun.
"Green health food is good, but Wakelai recently launched traditional Chinese medicine health food."
As if those professional terms were not convincing enough, colleague Xiaoyun changed her words and said: "You know Xiao Wang in our office, right? Didn't you have a cervical spondylosis attack two days ago and ask for leave?"
Xiaoyun nodded and looked at her colleagues with curiosity. She knew Xiao Wang, and she knew about asking for leave, but it had nothing to do with eating, right
The colleague continued: "Xiao Wang went to the hospital and received acupuncture and massage. Although the symptoms were relieved, the pain was still there. Finally, Xiao Wang was accidentally dragged by his husband to Wankelai to drink a traditional Chinese medicine health soup that protects the cervical spine. Guess what? ? Her cervical spine suddenly stopped hurting!"
"So miraculous!" Xiaoyun was dubious. After all, 90% of the so-called traditional Chinese medicine health products are deceptive. She did not believe that a bowl of soup could cure such stubborn diseases as cervical spondylosis.
The colleague said exaggeratedly: "It's so miraculous! Xiao Wang went there for two days in a row, and her cervical spondylosis recovered immediately. I saw her at work today and chatted with her for a long time. She was very interested in the traditional Chinese medicine health regimen launched by Wankelai Health food, I highly recommend it, and I’ve been praising it to the heavens from thousands of customers all morning!”
Xiaoyun was a little excited. She also met Xiao Wang today. She saw that Xiao Wang was in good spirits. She was also curious about how Xiao Wang's cervical spondylosis was cured so quickly.
I didn't expect that to be the case.
Xiaoyun also has some occupational diseases. When her colleagues said Wanke was so miraculous, she couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Okay, let's go to Wanke and try it to see if it's really that miraculous!"
Watching the two people turn around and leave, in a corner of the empty store, two women with outstanding temperament stood up with serious expressions on their faces.
"Wen Qing, please immediately ask someone to find out where Wan Kelai came from?" Li Sufang said with a serious face.
"Okay." Wen Qing immediately went to make a phone call.
After a while, Wen Qing came over in a panic and said in a anxious tone: "Chairman, I have found out that Wankelai is Wanjia's industry. In just a few days, it has blossomed all over Hanyang, and all county-level They have stores in the above cities.”
"Wankelai specializes in traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving food. According to the feedback from customers these days, the reputation is very good, and it is even said that one sip of soup can cure a long-standing illness. Basically, all the customers in Xiangmanlou are attracted by it. They took it away."
Behind him, the person in charge of Xiangmanlou, who looked lonely, came over and said sourly: "There is something even more magical. Yesterday, I heard a female guest chatting and said that drinking a bowl of soup cured the infertility that had troubled her for many years. Infertility successfully saved her marriage from despair."
"Now the market has regarded Wankelai as an authoritative hospital. It has not only taken away our customers, but also taken away a lot of patients from the hospital."
Li Sufang looked serious, thought for a moment, and said: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Let's go to Wankelai to taste it for ourselves, and everything will become clear."
"If the rumors are true, then Wankelai will be our fatal enemy in developing a green and healthy food industry chain!"
The number of Wankelai stores in Hanyang has really reached the point where Li Sufang and Wen Qing just turned a corner and saw a store.
From a distance, you can see the crowds of people in the store, and there is even a long queue. There are more people than Xiangmanlou when the business is at its best, and the business is very hot.
The two pretended to be ordinary customers, lined up to enter, and each ordered a soup that was said to be refreshing.
Li Sufang and Wen Qing looked at each other with a skeptical attitude, and each took a sip of the ordinary-looking, slightly yellowed pork ribs and corn soup in the porcelain bowl.
After entering the mouth, except for a faint herbal smell, I didn't feel anything special, but about five minutes later, Li Sufang and Wen Qing were shocked at the same time.
They only felt a cool air extending from their stomachs to their limbs and bones. The two of them suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable. Their eyes could see things more clearly, and they felt particularly smooth breathing air.
Li Sufang was greatly shocked. She studied the bowl of soup carefully again, but she could see that it was the most ordinary pork ribs stewed with corn. The only special thing was that the soup was a bit muddy, as if it had been cooked with some Chinese medicine.
"It's no wonder that Wankelai's launch of traditional Chinese medicine health food has become so popular in just three days. It really has some tricks up its sleeve." Li Sufang sighed secretly.
Looking at Wen Qing, Li Sufang's eyes were serious: "Let's go."
Wen Qing nodded, her expression a little solemn.
Back at the Meihua Group, Li Sufang and Wen Qing immediately discussed behind closed doors.
"Xiao Qing, what do you think was put in Wankelai's bowl of soup? To achieve that amazing effect!" Li Sufang asked seriously.
Wen Qing shook her head: "I don't know, there should be a secret recipe. If you just rely on that bowl of soup, it will never have that refreshing effect. There is probably an expert behind it!"
"Go find someone to check and see if you can find out who the Wan family hired as a helper!" Li Sufang ordered.
"Well, I'll ask someone to investigate right away, but chairman, would you like to call Xiao Mo and see if he can figure out the problem?" Wen Qing asked tentatively.
"No need, this is a business competition, and Xiao Mo can't help. It's better not to disturb his study." Li Sufang shook her head and refused.
"Okay, then I'll do it right now."
