I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 134: The Car-Smashing Agreement
Celestial Fortuneβs sparse funds are certainly no match for Cold Dew.
"What a pity." π§πβ―β―π€β―π£πβ΄πππ.ππ°π
Qin Yun sneered internally. Such tactics might be fatal to other clothing stores, but for him, thereβs not much to worry about.
"Have we figured out why Cold Dew Clothing is suppressing us at Celestial Fortune?" Qin Yun looked at Zhao Tianqiang and asked.
For now, he still didnβt know the reason behind the suppression.
"We havenβt figured it out yet." Zhao Tianqiang said with some embarrassment.
Cold Dew Clothing suddenly opened, mimicked Celestial Fortune, hired people to boost traffic and cut pricesβall happening in such a short periodβhe truly hadnβt uncovered the reason yet.
Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned slightly.
Celestial Fortune is being suppressed by Cold Dew, and yet he still doesnβt know the reason. His connections are still too shallow.
"However, we do have a bit of a lead now," Zhao Tianqiang added. "I have some friends in brand clothing stores, and they seem to know some inside information."
"Good, get the information from them as soon as possible. You can use some funds and charge it to the company account," Qin Yun directly instructed.
"Yes," Zhao Tianqiang nodded quickly.
...
Time quickly passed, and soon more than a day had gone by.
"Youβre saying that executives from Cold Dew Clothing and other major brand clothing stores came to Jinling, saw the booming business of Celestial Fortune Clothing, while Cold Dew Clothing was doing poorly, and then they were ridiculed by other clothing stores, which led them to angrily decide to suppress Celestial Fortune?" Qin Yun looked at Zhao Tianqiang and asked.
"Yes, President Qin." Zhao Tianqiang nodded.
He knew a regional manager for one of these large brands. After spending some money, he finally got the information.
Qin Yunβs face darkened slightly; he had already considered this reason before.
The effect of the Wealth Gathering Array is too domineering. Many people are walking on the street, and as long as they have the slightest thought of buying clothes, the arrayβs effect draws them into Celestial Fortune Clothing.
This would definitely have an impact on nearby clothing stores.
Those clothing stores are likely gnashing their teeth in hatred towards Celestial Fortune Clothing.
Yet this is how business is; thereβs no room for mercy. Qin Yun wouldnβt find other store owners pitiful or wish to make a little less for their sake.
He makes plenty, hires many, and offers salaries much higher than other stores.
In reality, he doesnβt need to hire so many people. Hiring fewer wonβt matter; others would just be a bit busier and more tired, but he doesnβt do that.
He earns more and is willing to provide more job opportunities.
Those people hate him because they canβt compete effectively. Now that heβs encroaching on Cold Dew Clothingβs territory, Cold Dew is no small store and could potentially counter him.
Qin Yun pondered slightly.
This kind of trouble is unavoidable. Even if it didnβt happen now, as Celestial Fortune Clothing continues to expand, sooner or later, other chain clothing stores will target him.
While they were talking, Zhao Tianqiang glanced at his phone, his expression changing slightly.
"President Qin, the owner of Cold Dew Clothing, Zuo Han, is currently at the store, and our landlord is also there."
"The landlord?" Qin Yun seemed to have thought of something, his face dimming slightly.
"Letβs go! Weβre heading there."
He took Zhao Tianqiang straight to Cold Dew Clothing.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a young man walk out, followed by an enormously burly man.
"Zuo Han?"
Upon seeing the young man, Qin Yunβs face darkened.
He had already learned about Zuo Hanβs appearance during his prior investigation.
His car was previously involved in an accident because Zuo Han suddenly dashed out of an intersection, forcing Qin Yun to brake urgently, and the vehicle behind failed to keep a safe distance.
Although the collision responsibility lay with the car behind, Zuo Han was the instigator.
"Qin Yun? The owner of Celestial Fortune Clothing?"
Upon seeing Qin Yun, Zuo Han wore a slight smile and surprisingly approached him willingly, saying, "Pleased to meet you."
"Pleased to meet me?"
In response, Qin Yun pointed to the interior of Cold Dew Clothing and said, "Whatβs the meaning of your clothing store here?"
"Heh, weβre all in the clothing business; the similarity in the storeβs situation is purely coincidental," Zuo Han smiled.
With a gentle smile, he seemed like a long-time friend of Qin Yun.
"How about this."
Zuo Han thought for a moment and said, "The competition on this commercial street isnβt good. How about you just close Celestial Fortune Clothing, so then thereβs no competition."
He sincerely suggested to Qin Yun, "This way, you can also reduce your losses."
Currently, Zuo Hanβs goal is to crush Celestial Fortune Clothing to its closure, with no chance of revival.
However, he was pushing with his own funds every day, pouring money into hiring so many people, which was a considerable expense.
In fact, he preferred Celestial Fortune Clothing to close on its own accord.
Thereβs no need for both sides to go through fierce competition and bloody battles to prove Cold Dewβs might.
In reality, if Cold Dew Clothing opens and Celestial Fortune Clothing shuts down, it reflects Cold Dewβs strength more evidently.
Businessmen prioritize profit. Achieving their goal with the least expenditure is the best approach.
And even if they close, under his plan, Celestial Fortune will suffer considerable losses.
"Iβll consider your suggestion," Qin Yun nodded hearing Zuo Hanβs words.
He stared at Zuo Han, calmly saying, "But I think the opposite can also be true."
Hearing this, Zuo Han was taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha, Qin Yun, your suggestion is amusing, Iβll consider it."
For Cold Dew Clothing, with a market value of over a billion dollars, to avoid loss and voluntarily close would be akin to making way for a Celestial Fortune Clothing store open for just a few monthsβnews like that would cause widespread amusement.
Itβs as if an ant tells an elephant, "Hey, move over, or Iβll throw you out."
In Zuo Hanβs eyes, it was clear that Qin Yun had lost his senses.
While Zuo Han laughed, Qin Yun pointed to the conspicuous red Porsche in the distance: "That was my suggestion. Additionally, Iβd really like to smash your car."
"Smash my car?"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Han revealed a playful look in his eyes, naturally understanding what Qin Yun meant, as Qin Yunβs car had been involved in an accident because of him.
"How about this, Qin Yun, if I close voluntarily, you can smash my car. Howβs that?" Zuo Han smiled.
"However, if I win, Iβll smash your carβit seems fair, doesnβt it?"
"Alright," Qin Yun nodded seriously to this proposal: "In Jinling City, if you close shop for more than ten days without reopening, itβs considered a complete closure."
"Deal," Zuo Han agreed.
Their conversation appeared calm, but with Cold Dew suppressing Celestial Fortune, wanting it to close down, they had already torn through pretenses. Given Qin Yunβs nature, he wouldnβt be restrained, expressing whatever he had to say directly.
