Not at all
"Mr. Xu, since you're live-streaming today, I can guarantee this in front of 100,000 viewers."
"Give me some time, and once I've scaled up the business, I can offer prices lower, quality better, taste better, and portions larger than Huangshi Group!"
"Who says you can't eat good fast food if you don't spend money? Who says ordinary people can't eat clean food?"
"There's more to this world than just the Huangshi Group, Huangmen Chicken isn't something only they can make. This isn't the Huangshi Group's private property; it's our ancestors' recipe. Why should they be parasites, scavenging our ancestors' culinary legacy and ruining our heritage!"
When talking about the factory, Song Qinghuan became exceptionally passionate, which moved the Livestream Viewers to cheer enthusiastically.
Even the little cute girl was teary-eyed, pleading for Song Qinghuan.
"Brother, please give him a chance. It's only 100 million. If you can't afford it, I'll take it. It's just some pocket money."
Huang Lu spoke emotionally, causing Xu Yi's lips to twitch.
What do you mean I can't afford it? It's just a hundred million!
Song Qinghuan has practically raved about him; how could he possibly refuse to pay?
Dig!
You have to pay!
Based on his previous stock purchases and the accounts of Yixing Company, Xu Yi was fully capable of paying out 100 million yuan.
"You've convinced me; I'll invest this 100 million."
Xu Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Song Qinghuan excitedly hugged Xu Yi, and it took him a long time to calm down. Then, somewhat embarrassed, he said:
"Mr. Xu, I must clarify one point first: this 100 million is only for expanding the factory, and does not include the cost of purchasing land and renting shops. You have no objection, do you?"
He hadn't expected Xu Yi to agree so readily, but he had to make the unpleasant points clear upfront.
He can guarantee the transformation of the production line with this 100 million yuan, but the food industry is different from others. No matter how good the production is, if you can't open up the store sales link, it will ultimately not work.
A single store costs at least several hundred thousand, and sometimes up to a million. Investing 100 million in these places wouldn't be enough to build many stores.
This is the true source of Huangshi Group's confidence.
This was also where Song Qinghuan truly despaired.
All the good locations are already taken. Even if someone were willing to franchise and open a fast food restaurant, they probably wouldn't be able to challenge the prime locations of Huangshi Group's stores.
Seeing Song Qinghuan's conflicted expression, Xu Yi simply smiled faintly.
Good spots were taken beforehand?
Isn't that simple?
Why not just snatch it?
When dealing with good people, you need to consider your conscience. But when dealing with the Huangshi Group, let alone having no conscience, Xu Yi could slap them and even laugh.
"Let me ask you first, after I give you the money, can you guarantee that the food supply will keep up?"
"Of course, no problem."
"Then let me ask you again, you say it meets hygiene standards, what makes netizens believe you?"
"We can livestream the entire process, allowing netizens across the country to monitor it freely."
Song Qinghuan immediately spoke.
Having received the answer, Xu Yi immediately took out his phone and dialed the number of his older brother Han Tao.
"Brother, Food Safety Issues a problem too. We need to take it seriously and punish offenders severely!"
"We can't just fine Huangshi Group; we need to order them to close down! Making them open is just harming the people! Don't worry about the shops being empty; I'll have someone take over seamlessly, so consumers won't go hungry!"
"You're saying you don't have jurisdiction? Wait a minute!"
[System, Edit Background!]
[Following the Fraudster Incident, Han Tao's outstanding performance caught the attention of his superiors, who decided to give him more responsibility. Just then, the Huangmen Chicken Incident broke out online and escalated into a social issue. The higher-ups decided to use this incident to test Han Tao, specifically assigning him to establish Food Safety Issue Team.]
The system edited and checked the code; it passed instantly.
When Han Tao heard Xu Yi say "wait a minute" on the other end of the phone, he was stunned and full of questions.
What are you waiting for? Do you think jurisdiction can be obtained just by waiting?
"Xu Yi, you've done a great job this time. I can help you with anything else you need, but... I got a call, wait a minute."
Han Tao was about to persuade Xu Yi to change his request, he suddenly received a notification from his superiors.
"Old Senior, what did you say? You're giving me more responsibilities? Of course I'm willing!"
"Xu Yi is indeed my brother. Should we brothers join forces again to combat Food Safety Issues?"
"Don't worry, I'll handle this perfectly!"
After hanging up the phone, Han Tao stared at the Livestream Room his phone, feeling as if he were in a dream.
No!
Xu Yi knew before he even received the message; otherwise, why would he have said to wait?
Just how much inside information does this brat know?
"Big brother, can you help now?"
Knowing the system's capabilities, Xu Yi never doubted its efficiency.
After using the system to edit a few times, he was already familiar with the limitations. As long as it was logical and met the preconditions, editing the background didn't even cost him many points.
In the fraud case, Han Tao had performed meritorious service and should have been given more responsibility. There was the Huangmen Chicken Incident that was a hot topic in society, and he also exposed the shady dealings of Huangshi Group. The only thing he was not satisfied with was that Han Tao's jurisdiction was the only one.
Without a system, he would have to make do for a few months and wait for Han Tao to arrive.
But now that he has the system in hand, why would he wait for anything else?
Just do it!
"Xu Yi, if you can help, I'll have someone investigate right now! Don't worry!"
Han Tao was full of energy and immediately got to work.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yi looked at Song Qinghuan and pulled Huang Lu to his side.
"The store issue is resolved. You tell us which Huangshi Group store is good, and we'll inspect that one. If we find any problems, we'll shut it down and replace the sign with ours on the spot."
Huang Lu held the check in her hand, waving it like a god of wealth.
The comments section was filled with messages about making money.
Good heavens, is this Xu Yi's method?
What is his background?
Song Qinghuan and his Younger Sister were completely dumbfounded.
When Xu Yi said to wait a moment, he didn't quite understand until Xu Yi finished the call.
Is the person on the other end of the phone some kind of bigwig who directly oversees Food Safety Issues?
On-site investigation?
What are you waiting for?!
It's impossible for Huangshi Group's stores not to have problems!
If it were another brand's store, they might not be able to find out, but with Huangshi Group, they'll definitely find out every time!
The investment of 100 million yuan has been secured.
Popular store locations, sorted.
The money used to buy the store was even invested by others.
This guy calls himself a small-time streamer?
Even the richest man can't be that all-powerful, can he?
"Mr. Xu, you... you're amazing."
[Shock Points +999]
After struggling for a while, Song Qinghuan finally managed to utter a dry and meaningless remark.
Xu Yi rolled his eyes.
Stop flattering me. I'll just ask you one more question: are you sure production can keep up?
Just as Song Qinghuan was about to speak, he suddenly shuddered.
Oops, I overdid it!
At Xu Yi's rate of efficiency, he would probably have to work around the clock to barely keep up with the supply!
"Mr. Xu, I admit my voice was too loud just now. Can I change it...?"
