Chapter 430: Good things are coming
"Hmph, if you didn't plan to inherit my mantle, I wouldn't worry about the recipe being lost." Old Man Luo snorted coldly in a very arrogant manner.
"Dad, can we not talk about this anymore?" Ms. Luo really didn't want to inherit her own hot pot restaurant. She was covered in the smell of hot pot at the end of the day, and if she worked for a few more years, the smell of hot pot would be marinated into her meat.
"You'd better think carefully about selling the formula. Don't wait until both of you are really unable to do it." Ms. Luo gave what she believed to be sound advice.
After Li Shengli finished discussing with the Luo family, he returned to his home.
"Dad, how did the discussion go?" Li Chengqin was quite concerned about this matter. She had been following it from the beginning and was now a little curious.
"Not bad, I met the couple's daughter." Li Shengli was quite satisfied with what happened today. He had spent quite a bit of time in the Luo family. If old man Luo really didn't want to sell the recipe, he would have been kicked out long ago.
The reason why he was able to stay in Luo's house for such a long time today proves that Old Man Luo also had the idea of selling the formula. Coupled with the persuasion of Old Man Luo's daughter, it is estimated that he will get the formula in no time.
But before that, Li Shengli still had to go to Luo's house several times, which showed that he was determined to get it and also represented his sincerity.
Just when Li Shengli and his family were traveling in Chengdu, this guy was preparing to set up a stall again.
Li Shengli has left Sijiu City during this period. Without his employer, the people hired by Li Shengli relaxed their vigilance a little. Bang Geng also seized the opportunity and set up a stall for two days.
The two people hired by Li Shengli saw that this was not going to work. They had to perform the task assigned by their boss as well as not fall behind, so they became more vigilant and continued to follow Banggeng in setting up the stall.
Banggeng is also worried. Why are these people like a dog-skin plaster?
Banggeng was annoyed by these two people so he decided to go out for a walk to change his mood.
As he turned, he ended up on the street near the cinema.
"Hey, kid, aren't you selling barbecue on the street? Why are you here?" Just as Banggeng was strolling around, a familiar voice came from behind him.
Banggeng looked back in surprise, and saw a few scoundrel-looking people standing on the side of the road not far away, looking at him and pointing at him.
At first glance, Bang Geng thought he was in trouble.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Banggeng is a very domineering guy at home. In fact, he is as obedient as a mouse seeing a cat outside, especially in front of people who are more domineering than him.
After Banggeng saw clearly, he realized that he actually knew the person who called him. The person who called him was the one who collected stall fees at the night market.
"Boy, why haven't I seen you setting up a stall recently?" The person who spoke was called Wei Baofeng. He was quite smart. His family had some connections in the street, so he took on this job of collecting stall fees. This job was easy and there was a lot of money to be made. Wei Baofeng was like a fish in water.
"I'm in some trouble." When he saw someone he knew, Bang Geng was no longer afraid.
"Come, come here." Upon hearing this, Wei Baofeng immediately became interested in Banggeng's experience, and then waved to Banggeng.
"Brother Wei." Banggeng came up to Wei Baofeng. He had heard of Wei Baofeng's name from other people before.
"What's your name?" Wei Baofeng narrowed his eyes and lit a cigarette. After taking a deep puff, he blew out a smoke ring in a dash of style. This move made everyone around him envious.
"My name is Jia Geng." Bang Geng nodded and bowed a little. There were no urban management officers at the moment, and Wei Baofeng was considered half the manager of this night market.
"What happened to you? I haven't seen you setting up a stall for a long time." Wei Baofeng also heard that there were two people selling barbecue at cost price in this night market. He also heard that these two people were advertising for a factory called Shengli Food Factory. He also went to eat at their stall, and it tasted really good.
Seeing Banggeng wandering outside at this moment, I felt a little curious, so I called him over on a whim to talk to him.
After hearing what Brother Wei said, Banggeng's mind worked quickly, and while he was thinking, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Brother Wei, you are the one who calls the shots at this night market. Why don't you try to drive them out of this street?"
Banggeng smiled in a very flattering manner, and even took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for Wei Baofeng, acting like a little brother.
He learned all this in prison. There were so many talented people in prison. If he wasn't smart, he might not be able to survive.
"It's easy for you to say that. People pay fees to do business here. Whether they lose money or not, they are still customers of the market."
Wei Baofeng glanced at Banggeng with his eyes slanted. This kid said it so easily, but how could he expect him to work hard without doing anything?
Seeing Wei Baofeng's expression, I immediately understood what Wei Baofeng meant. He just wanted to make some extra money. He used to do this when he and Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies.
But Banggeng didn't expect that the trouble would fall on his head at this moment.
"Brother Wei, as long as you kick those two out, I'll give you a 50% discount when you eat skewers here in the future."
Banggeng said in a petty way.
After hearing what Banggeng said, Wei Baofeng sneered in his heart. This kid is really not smart. Don't think that he doesn't know how much profit there is in the things on his stall.
"Brother Wei, don't be anxious. I'll give you the number again." Seeing that Wei Baofeng was indifferent to what he said, Banggeng quickly stretched out his hand and gestured with two fingers.
Although Wei Baofeng still sneered at Banggeng's stinginess when he saw it, he felt that it would be unfair to himself if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity.
Wei Baofeng had received an order before, saying that the two people sent by Li Shengli had affected the stability of the market. It would have been fine if you had been selling at a loss for one or two days, but it has been almost two weeks and you still haven't stopped.
Even if you have a grudge against Banggeng, it doesn't have to go on like this forever.
All the other barbecue vendors on this street have come to complain to them, and if this continues they will all be doomed.
Wei Baofeng is also a smart man, and he just happened to see Banggeng at this moment.
This was a coincidence, and Wei Baofeng was thinking about whether he could make some more money from this great joke.
He also realized that these two people came just for this joke, and he didn't know who this joke had offended.
"Okay then. I'll go talk to them. I can't kick them out, but at least ask them to return the prices to their original ones." Wei Baofeng didn't want to go too far. All he had to do was ask them to change the prices back and restore the original order of the street.
Wei Baofeng was still thinking, and he didn't know whether this guy was stingy or stupid. He wanted him to support him just for such a small benefit.
"That's fine, that's fine." Banggeng was quite satisfied with Wei Baofeng's statement. He didn't expect Wei Baofeng to drive people out directly.
