A Divine Farmer

Chapter 353 - I Didn't Expect Him to Have Someone!

Chiang Lai did not know how to answer, but the people around him were even more clear on the situation. It turned out that it was not the Division Chief who wanted to get benefits, but rather, he was entrusted by someone to come and ruin the restaurant.

Now, everyone's curiosity was piqued again. Who was the one who wanted to mess with the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant? The boss did not look like a hot-tempered person, so why did he attract so much hatred?

“Yang Maocheng.” Zhang Xiaolong could already hear the voice on the phone. It belonged to Yang Maocheng. “If you use a legitimate method to compete with me, I might be able to give you some respect. However, it is obvious that you are too disappointing. I heard that the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant was opened by Old Master Yang De after a decade of hard work. But now, I have to tell you that the Flying Phoenix is being slowly destroyed by you.”

“Zhang Xiaolong? Why is it you?” Yang Maocheng clearly did not expect that the person who answered the phone would be Zhang Xiaolong. “What method you use is not something that you can control. I want to tell you that your restaurant is not going to last long. If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see!”

“Alright, if the Flying Phoenix only has this kind of crooked method, then it is indeed not far from bankruptcy. I look forward to that day. Or you can sell it to me before it closes down. Otherwise, you can only destroy the reputation of the Flying Phoenix!” Zhang Xiaolong said coldly.

Yang Maocheng's roar could be heard from the phone. Through the speaker, it could be clearly heard by all the customers in the hall.

‘Damn, so this guy is from the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant!'

That was also a high-end restaurant. Why did the boss do such a shady business? He actually resorted to such a despicable method just because the restaurant was open for business. This was too much.

Besides, the restaurant was open for business because the boss was offering free food. The dishes were delicious and the restaurant was still in the process of opening for business. Yet, they were afraid of such a situation. Wasn't this too self-confident? Thinking about it, the dishes from that restaurant were definitely not as delicious as the dishes from this restaurant. Otherwise, why would they resort to such a method?

It seemed that the boss of the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant was right. The only way for the Flying Phoenix Restaurant to survive was to resort to underhanded methods. It was clear that they were doomed.

Jiaang Qin and Chen Zhi looked at each other, thinking that Zhang Xiaolong was really cunning. Yang Maocheng probably would not have thought that Zhang Xiaolong would speak directly to him in the hall. However, since he could do such a thing, he could not blame Zhang Xiaolong for it.

“Alright, Yang Maocheng. I have already recorded your words. I don't know if it counts as an unfair competition. I will consult a lawyer first. You better take care of yourself. Goodbye!” Zhang Xiaolong hung up the call and returned the phone to Chiang Lai. “Section Director Chiang and Yang Maocheng have a good relationship. He is willing to do such a thing for him.”

“I was just confused…” Chiang Lai thought to himself. Not to mention that their relationship was not that good, even if it was, the phone call just now would not end well for him.

“Elder Chen, I didn't expect you to have such an identity. If you weren't here today, I might have really fallen. Thank you so much.” Zhang Xiaolong said sincerely.

Chen Zhi shook his hand and said, “No, your restaurant is good, so it will definitely be able to continue running. With me alone, I can't do much. The real thing that needs to be done is our entire set of laws and regulations. Any tricks that want to take advantage of the situation will be severely punished. Furthermore, the eyes of the masses are always sharp. We will not just watch a good restaurant fall, nor will we watch a bad restaurant prosper.”

Although he said that, Zhang Xiaolong knew that if it wasn't for Chen Zhi, no one would have been able to stop the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant from being closed down today.

Even if there were no problems later on and the restaurant was reopened, all the efforts he had put in previously would have gone to waste. Furthermore, he had been closed down by the Sanitary Bureau before, so he didn't know how many people would dare to come and eat here in the future.

After calming down a little, the three of them returned to the private room upstairs and chatted about the traditional culture of the restaurant while eating.

After a short while, the dishes were served. After tasting the food, Chen Zhi immediately praised it, “No wonder your restaurant is so crowded. With this taste, not to mention free, even if you charge for it, it will still not be enough!”

“In the eyes of many people, this kind of big restaurant is considered a high-end place of consumption. Even if I tell them that it is free, many of them would not dare to come here on the first day, afraid that they would fall into some kind of consumption trap. It's not their fault. Many businessmen have used all kinds of so-called brilliant methods to deceive the common people, causing them to fall into many traps. That's why everyone is becoming more and more cautious. However, since I am going to do this kind of cultural communication, it would be meaningless if I don't have the participation of the lowest common people. That's because that is our root.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled again, “Another reason is that business is commercialized. I won't lie to you. Everyone is free to eat here, and I won't force anyone to say anything. However, those who have tasted the dishes of my restaurant will never say anything bad about it. Everyone has also done the best advertisement for me. This is also what I learned from others.”

“You're so good at talking. If every businessman were to do business like you, I think it would be even better.” Chen Zhi praised, “Many people have played tricks on promotions, thinking that they are smart and have earned a lot of money. However, they have lost the trust of the general public. The common people are not fools. After suffering losses, they will naturally see through the tricks. Business is a long and arduous journey. If you lose the trust of the common people at the beginning, who can walk far?”

“Elder Chen is right. It is because everyone is too smart when doing business, and I am a peasant. I am not very smart, so I will walk the path of a peasant. I won't play tricks, but I will let everyone benefit from it. When this restaurant officially opens for business in the future, I will not play any tricks. Furthermore, my initial idea is that there will be super low prices every day, so that those who are not very rich can also eat the dishes of Divine Dragon Great Restaurant. This way, we can ensure that the roots of Divine Dragon Great Restaurant will never be destroyed. We will always be together with the lowest common people. However, this idea is still not mature. I need to plan carefully.” Zhang Xiaolong said.

“No, I think this idea is already very mature.” Jiaang Qin said thoughtfully, “Not only your restaurant, I think it would be the same if it was used in the medical field. Now, most of the people I can receive are rich people. Because the price of an expert is not cheap, slowly, our TCM will separate from our roots. We can only rely on the rain, the sun, and the moon. It looks like we are flourishing, but if we don't water our roots, how long can we live? This is really a question worth thinking about.”

“That's why I wanted to say that we could set up an exchange meeting, where everyone can showcase their true skills, and then we can organize and perfect these medical skills. We can also set up a training class, where young people with medical ethics who want to have a long-term development in TCM can be brought to the expert consultation to learn and watch, gradually giving up the position of the expert consultation to those who really need to see a doctor, instead of going to the expert consultation just to catch a cold.” Zhang Xiaolong thought for a moment and said.

While they were chatting, Yang Maocheng also received a phone call. “Young Masrer Qiu, I originally wanted to help you deal with him, but I didn't expect that brat to have someone in the Sanitary Bureau… Alright…”
