However, Ye Yun waved his hand to interrupt.
“Miss Zhao, we can discuss matters later. Since we’re in Jinling, let’s try the local cuisine first. Come, this Jinling Salted Duck, with its white skin and tender meat, is rich but not greasy, and its fresh and delicious flavor boasts characteristics of fragrance, crispness, and tenderness. When in Jinling, you must try it.”
Zhao Zhuoya swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue, swallowed by Ye Yun’s speech. After tasting the salted duck, she got straight to the point.
“Mr. Ye, frankly speaking, if you want to invest, you can! But if it’s an acquisition, I’m afraid I cannot accept it!”
“Why is Miss Zhao in such a hurry? Alas, what a pity,” Ye Yun sighed.
“What’s a pity?” Zhao Zhuoya asked.
“It’s a pity for this table of delicious food. I fear that after I say it, Miss Zhao will lose her appetite,” Ye Yun said.
Zhao Zhuoya paused, then changed the subject.
“Mr. Ye, our time is precious. I hope you can get to the point! I will absolutely not agree to the acquisition plan. I must have independent operational rights for Pang Xilai!”
Ye Yun put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhao Zhuoya, and smiled.
“Miss Zhao, what do you think is the advantage of Pang Xilai?”
“Pang Xilai has always focused on service. Although it’s just a supermarket, I envision it as a brand comparable to Haidilao in hot pot, truly putting the concept of ‘the customer is God’ into practice!” Zhao Zhuoya answered without hesitation.
“So, you divided the supermarket shopping carts into three categories: children, adults, and seniors. So, you ensured that no expired food or meat appears in Pang Xilai? So, you insisted that Pang Xilai must be spotless in any area, even the restrooms?” Ye Yun asked with a smile.
Three consecutive ‘sos’ perfectly articulated Pang Xilai’s advantages.
“Mm.” Zhao Zhuoya was not surprised that Ye Yun knew Pang Xilai’s standards.
“Then, may I ask Miss Zhao, do you think Pang Xilai is highly substitutable?” Ye Yun continued.
Substitutability?
Zhao Zhuoya was stunned and didn’t react for a while.
In fact, she really wanted to proudly tell Ye Yun.
Not highly!
But the words at the tip of her tongue were forcefully swallowed back.
To achieve ultimate service is difficult to talk about, but in reality, it is too easily substitutable!
Could it be…
Zhao Zhuoya vaguely knew what Ye Yun was about to say.
“Miss Zhao, how much money are you seeking for investment? Ten million, twenty million? Let me say more, say fifty million! What good will that do? If you cooperate with me, I guarantee that within two months, Pang Xilai branches will appear in all first-tier and provincial capital cities nationwide! Within half a year, the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and all major sub-provincial cities will be occupied by Pang Xilai. Within two years, Pang Xilai supermarkets will be everywhere in third-tier cities nationwide!” Ye Yun unleashed his trump card right from the start.
His words left Zhao Zhuoya astonished!
She had envisioned a great future for Pang Xilai.
But she had never imagined it would spread nationwide.
This was about dominating the entire Chinese market!
Before, she had only aimed to occupy one province!
Although tempted, Zhao Zhuoya truly didn’t want to be subordinate to anyone. She gritted her teeth and said,
“Mr. Ye, what you’ve said is very tempting, but regarding acquisition, I’m afraid Zhuoya cannot agree! As I said before, investment can be discussed, but acquisition is absolutely impossible!”
Ye Yun calmly stared at Zhao Zhuoya, and the woman, not to be outdone, met his gaze.
After about half a minute, Ye Yun smiled.
Zhao Zhuoya’s answer was within his expectations. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned the nickname “Iron Lady” in the future.
However, perhaps in the future, Zhao Zhuoya would have the ability to say no to Ye Yun.
But her now?
Not enough.
Since the sweet dates didn't work, it was time for the stick!
“Miss Zhao, the reason for acquiring Pang Xilai is simply because I value you as a person! Otherwise, if I were to invest ten billion to replicate Pang Xilai’s marketing model, Miss Zhao, do you think you could compete with me?” Ye Yun said calmly.
Pang Donglai Supermarket’s concept was excellent.
But for capital, ideas were both the most valuable and the least valuable things.
They were valuable in that a small idea in front of capital could become a terrifying money-making machine.
They were not valuable in that if you listened to capital, they would let you develop well.
If you didn’t listen to capital, capital could invest heavily and suppress your small business to the point of not being able to develop.
Once there was no core competitiveness, and they invested heavily, what would you use to compete with others?
Just burning money could kill you!
Tencent was a good project, but twenty years ago, it almost wasn’t acquired?
It was the same principle; one step fast, all steps fast.
Today, Pang Xilai, in front of Ye Yun, was like an ant that could be crushed with a single pinch.
Agree? Everyone would be happy.
Disagree?
Then I will throw money into it and replicate your service concept.
Your name is Pang Xilai, then I’ll create Pang Beilai, Pang Nanlai.
Prices cheaper than yours, and goods better than yours.
How long can your Pang Xilai last?
A month? Two months?
Capital could kill you with money alone!
This open scheme made Zhao Zhuoya grind her teeth.
This man in front of her, who looked sunny and handsome, how could he be so unscrupulous!
“Shameless…” Zhao Zhuoya cursed.
“Can I interpret this as a compliment?” Ye Yun didn’t think face was that important.
Business was like warfare; on the negotiation table, one must argue reasonably!
Feeling a headache from Ye Yun’s shamelessness, Zhao Zhuoya said indignantly,
“Mr. Ye, forgive my impudence, but I don’t know who you are! I don’t believe any Tom, Dick, or Harry has the power to make Pang Xilai falter!”
This remark was quite impolite.
It was no wonder Zhao Zhuoya said such things. Anyone encountering Ye Yun’s robber logic would probably be so angry they’d roll their eyes.
It was only because Zhao Zhuoya had a good temper that she didn’t throw tea in Ye Yun’s face on the spot.
Besides, Ye Yun might just be bluffing her.
After all, she had searched Ye Yun’s name online in the car earlier.
In any case, she hadn’t found any impressive figures.
But seeing the respectful demeanor of the Tianxiangfu staff, she could roughly guess Ye Yun’s background.
Perhaps he was just some uneducated second-generation rich kid!
He had some power in Jinling, but in H Province, Pang Xilai was not afraid of him, Ye Yun!
“Has Miss Zhao ever heard of Yao Ke Group?” Ye Yun asked with a slight smile.
“Yao Ke Group? Gancao Yao?” How could Zhao Zhuoya not have heard of these names?
Nowadays, describing them as the hottest on the internet was not an exaggeration.
“That’s right! Yao Ke Group is my company, and Gancao Yao is also our product!” Ye Yun said.
Instantly.
Zhao Zhuoya fell silent.
If Ye Yun were a second-generation rich kid, she wouldn’t be afraid.
Even if Ye Yun were just an ordinary second-generation rich kid, Zhao Zhuoya wouldn’t be so intimidated.
After all, there weren’t many young masters who could casually give ten billion to a second-generation rich kid.
But upon hearing that he was the owner of Gancao Yao, she knew that what Ye Yun had just said might not have been a joke.
Possessing such a money-making machine, he was entirely capable of achieving it!
Moreover, according to the rumors spreading online.
Behind Gancao Yao was Wang Weiguo, who had countless disciples, supporting him!
