My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 111 - 101: I’m Giving the Yan Family a Chance
What a brilliant mind.
"However..." Song Beidou murmured, "If you want to establish a foothold in Dao Mark City, relying solely on this isn’t enough."
What good are your quality products?
Minghai Commerce Association and Yunling Commerce Association have dominated for so many years.
Will they obediently open up part of the market for you?
On the surface, perhaps not much, but behind the scenes, it’s not that simple.
Especially Minghai Commerce Association, they’re not pushovers.
Behind them is the renowned Hai family, with the Innate overseeing the family; you can’t compete with the Hai family without capital.
Moreover, Minghai Commerce Association’s president, Hai Dongsheng, is a tough character.
At this moment, both presidents of Minghai Commerce Association and Yunling Commerce Association, Lin Wanghuan, had received the news.
A large new commerce association has opened in Dao Mark City.
Evergreen Commerce Association?
"Miss, this Evergreen Commerce Association has suddenly appeared in Dao Mark City, obviously vying for our business. He must know that in Minghong State, it’s our territory, belonging to Yunling Commerce Association and Minghai Commerce Association. It seems they have some backing."
In front of Lin Wanghuan, a young woman spoke with a frown.
Evidently, the appearance of Evergreen Commerce Association left her puzzled.
Lin Wanghuan looked at the paper in her hand, then raised her head and said to the woman, "Aunt Meng, if Evergreen Commerce Association weren’t prepared, they wouldn’t rashly open up. Write a letter to my father, requesting Yunling Sect to investigate what this Evergreen Commerce Association is all about."
"Yes." The woman nodded.
Lin Wanghuan squinted her eyes and looked out the window, smiling as she said, "Pre-made meals? That’s quite interesting and creative, but your actions have not only offended all commerce associations but also some restaurants!"
Indeed, some restaurants have bought pre-made meals from Evergreen Commerce Association to try selling them.
However, for some renowned restaurants, the emergence of these pre-made meals would significantly impact their business.
In the past, if you wanted to have good food, you had to come to their restaurants to eat.
But now?
You can just heat up the pre-made meals at home.
It takes away a lot of their business.
Moreover, the taste of these pre-made meals is quite good, overshadowing some of the signature dishes of their restaurants.
Without the advantage of signature dishes, their restaurants hold less appeal.
Therefore, Lin Wanghuan anticipated Evergreen Commerce Association meeting resistance from all sides in Dao Mark City. She was in no hurry to make a move, thinking perhaps in less than a month they’d leave dejectedly.
Besides, Hai Dongsheng of the Hai family is a petty person; he won’t stand by idly.
"Miss, it’s already noon. What would you like for lunch? I’ll have the servants prepare it," Aunt Meng said to Lin Wanghuan.
"What to eat?" Lin Wanghuan blinked and then smiled, "Why don’t we go to Evergreen Commerce Association and buy two portions of pre-made meals to try?"
"Ah?"
Aunt Meng was clearly startled by Lin Wanghuan’s action.
"I’m also curious about what those pre-made meals taste like," Lin Wanghuan said with a smile.
"Yes, I’ll have someone go buy it."
...
Even on just the first day, Evergreen Commerce Association’s income was quite impressive.
Clan leaders of small families looked quite pleased.
Today, they received several orders from restaurants, each ordering over a hundred portions.
Meanwhile, some cheap products from Evergreen Commerce Association also caught the attention of many. Although it was a new association, and some believed it wouldn’t last long, some still placed small orders to try it out.
Yan Leisheng looked at today’s profits, nodding in satisfaction. This surpassed Yan Leisheng’s expectations by a fair margin.
Yet Yan Leisheng also knew that this was merely Evergreen Commerce Association’s first step; the real battle had yet to begin.
Under the crescent moon.
In a beautifully crafted courtyard, there was even a hot spring pool, with bubbling water reflecting the moonlight.
At this moment, a man was soaking naked in the hot spring, unconcerned by the scalding water hot enough to boil eggs. His robust body was unfazed by the high temperature, to him, it was rather an enjoyment.
His eyes were like a hawk’s, exuding a sense of pressure.
Because he himself was a martial artist in the Innate Realm.
"Young master."
At this time, an old man walked in from outside, respectfully approaching Hai Dongsheng’s side.
"Have you found out the background of Evergreen Commerce Association?" Hai Dongsheng asked lazily.
"Yes." The old man said in a low voice, "Evergreen Commerce Association is a collective venture organized by several families from Changting Town. The commerce association’s president is Yan Botao, clan leader of the Yan family in Changting Town."
"Changting Town?" Hai Dongsheng sneered, "A tiny place, just a bunch of rabble, and yet they have the nerve to compete in Dao Mark City?"
"Young master, that Yan Botao indeed has some skills, having reached the Innate Realm," the old man said respectfully.
"Yan Botao..." Hai Dongsheng frowned. "Why does this name sound familiar, as if I’ve heard it before?"
"Yes, this Yan Botao previously killed Ma Sandao from the black list and was rewarded by Zhanhe Mansion," the old man reminded Hai Dongsheng.
Hai Dongsheng was suddenly enlightened.
So it was him.
"So it was the person who killed Ma Sandao." Hai Dongsheng laughed, "Thinking that just because one reaches the Innate level, they can come to Dao Mark City to compete, truly not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, and to start a commerce association without even sending our Hai family a visiting card, having no sense of rules."
"Those from small places don’t know the rules, and having reached the Innate Realm, naturally they become a bit arrogant," the old man chuckled.
"If he were sensible, I could let him occupy a small piece of land in Dao Mark City and earn some petty cash. However, if he wants to be sensible now, I can still give him a chance." Clearly, Hai Dongsheng already had a plan.
"Young master, should this matter be mentioned to the master? After all, there is an innate expert behind Evergreen Commerce Association; having too tense relations isn’t good," the old man gently reminded.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Hai Dongsheng glanced at the old man coldly.
"I wouldn’t dare."
The old man quickly lowered his head.
"Having a fallout with an Innate expert indeed isn’t ideal, but merely a newly-promoted Innate means nothing to our Hai family," Hai Dongsheng at this time stood up, stepping out of the hot spring. The old man quickly draped a towel over Hai Dongsheng.
Hai Dongsheng stretched his neck and said, "Tomorrow, have someone represent our Hai family to inform them that we are willing to pay five thousand taels of silver to buy all their recipes and take over their pre-made meal business. Henceforth, they must not sell pre-made meals and should turn to other ventures."
