Chapter 291 2 Heads Profit
"You can choose not to admit it, but there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If you tell me now, we still have room to talk. If you choose to remain silent, I will find out sooner or later and then we won't be able to discuss this in a friendly manner like today."
She is not in a hurry!
After Tong Huaqiong finished speaking, he sat on the chair and sipped his tea calmly.
It’s no wonder that the tea from Tianxianglou is so sweet and mellow that it leaves a lasting aftertaste.
She would later ask Mother Mo where she got the tea from.
After Tong Huaqiong returned to her room from Gu Dashu's place yesterday, the more she thought about the whole thing, the weirder it seemed.
This is such a coincidence.
Why did Xianxian choose to wait for Taohua Dessert to open on the night when it happened to be the hottest day of the year?
She recalled that the reason she was able to defeat Manager Feng in the fight in Yanguan Town was because she had grasped his weak spot, Feng Chuan.
That's because she was sure that Manager Feng cared about this adopted son.
But if Shopkeeper Feng didn't care so much about Feng Chuan, could the business war have been won so easily?
Hard to say.
So what is the attitude of the pastry shops in the city towards the arrival of peach blossom desserts?
This intruder will definitely make other shops unhappy.
Some shops may improve their competitiveness if they are unhappy, but she cannot guarantee that all shops have a legitimate spirit of business competition.
If some shops use crooked means, is it possible that they would try to control her like she did to Shopkeeper Feng?
It is definitely possible.
After all, the limitation of this era is that sons are the most important in everything.
They would definitely think that controlling Gu Dashu is equivalent to controlling her and Taohua Dessert.
Gu Dashu is a country bumpkin, and the best way to control him is to lure him into the land of pleasure.
However, they miscalculated two things. First, Tong Huaqiong was a person who could abandon her son for the shop. Second, Gu Dashu still had deep feelings for Liu Yue'e. His character and courage made him disdain to go to Tianxiang Tower to let himself go.
Mother Mo and Xianxian exchanged glances.
Tong Huaqiong saw all of this, and there was no doubt that she guessed right.
She's not in a hurry.
She waited for Mother Mo to speak.
Mother Mo weighed the matter in her mind. If Tong Huaqiong was just a country woman, she would take her words as a threat, but she had a close relationship with Mr. Lu, and she heard yesterday that Lord Yao had sent his housekeeper to show his support.
The power of this country woman is unfathomable. If we offend her, how will Tianxianglou survive?
Well, just admit defeat.
She is a businesswoman and there is no need for her to offend someone whose power she is not aware of.
"If I tell Master Tong who is the mastermind behind this, how will Master Tong thank me?" Mother Mo said through gritted teeth.
Tong Huaqiong took a sip of tea, looked at Mother Mo with a half-smile and said, "Mother Mo, are you bargaining with me? Do you think you have room for bargaining?"
Mother Mo's smile froze on her face.
This widow doesn't play by the rules!
"Forget it, forget it, Mom will tell Boss Tong." Xianxian said.
Tong Huaqiong glanced at Xianxian.
Mother Mo knew that it was pointless to keep it a secret any longer, so she said, "It's Jin Fengxiang."
Golden Phoenix.
"So it's Jin Fengxiang."
The answer was quite unexpected to Tong Huaqiong.
She thought it was Gao Xiang Ji.
After all, among the four major pastry shops in Ningcheng, Gaoxiangji is a latecomer. It defeated the most famous Jinfengxiang in one fell swoop and now has become the pastry shop with the most branches and the greatest fame in Ningcheng.
When her Taohua Dessert came to the city, it naturally regarded Gaoxiangji as a competitor. She hoped to be on par with Gaoxiangji in the short term, and to surpass it in the long term and become the most prestigious pastry shop in the city.
Taohua Dessert opened yesterday. With the support of students from Wanliu Academy, it is said that Taohua Dessert cannot compare to Gaoxiangji in terms of taste or innovation.
No matter how big the city is, I believe that colleagues in the industry do not want new competitors to come in. After all, who would complain about having too many customers or making too much money?
The entry of Peach Blossom Desserts means that it will take a share of the original market.
Colleagues will certainly not sit idly by and wait for death. Tong Huaqiong, who believes in fair competition, is not afraid of that. What she fears is someone playing dirty and stabbing her in the back.
So in Tong Huaqiong's imagination, which of the four major pastry shops would be the first to take action on peach blossom desserts? It would most likely be the most famous Gaoxiangji.
It's no wonder Tong Huaqiong thinks this way. After all, Gaoxiangji has gone through the brutal business war and successfully challenged TOP1 to establish its current position. Generally, such shops have the strongest sense of crisis and often take the initiative to attack when facing competitors.
Therefore, both He Chao and she were only focusing on Gao Xiangji and ignored the other shops.
"This is tea money for Miss Xianxian." Tong Huaqiong put fifty taels of silver on the table.
This is how Tong Huaqiong behaves.
Since Xianxian and Mother Mo changed their minds and were willing to tell her the person behind the scenes, she was willing to exchange them for silver.
Xianxian weighed the silver and said, "Master Tong, now that mom has told you the truth, no matter how you and Jin Fengxiang fight, don't involve our Tianxianglou."
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Of course. To express my gratitude to Miss Xianxian, I now have a Qiao Zong that I'm willing to share with Mama Mo and Xianxian. Mr. Lu's big ship will go out to sea in a few days. I heard that he will take more individual investors' ships with him this time. I plan to invest in it. If Xianxian and Mama Mo have extra money, would you like to share it with them?"
This news was told to Tong Huaqiong by Lu Zhaoyang yesterday.
The reason why Lu Zhaoyang told Tong Huaqiong was definitely because he hoped that Tong Huaqiong could make a fortune.
After hearing this, Mother Mo's eyes lit up.
I heard that going out to sea is very profitable, so who wouldn't want to go out to sea with Mr. Lu? But not everyone has connections or merchant ships, and not everyone can catch Mr. Lu's eye.
For example, Tianxiang Tower was excluded.
This time, Mr. Lu might not be willing to take her with him either.
Mother Mo sighed and said, "I don't have as much face as Master Tong."
She had always wanted to get close to Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu had always looked down upon the business of romance, so she couldn't get involved even if she wanted to.
Tong Huaqiong knew what Mama Mo was worried about, so she spread her hands, smiled and said, "If you feel relieved, give me the silver. Will Mr. Lu want to find out where I got the silver from?"
Mother Mo said, "I am very grateful to Master Tong for taking me with me. What else do I have to worry about?"
If you ask her why she trusts Tong Huaqiong so much, whom she only met once, does she have any choice?
No!
She wanted to get into Mr. Lu's business, and the only way was Tong Huaqiong.
She was willing to take a gamble.
Tong Huaqiong said, "Okay, when you bring the money to my shop tonight, I will write a contract for you."
Mother Mo said, "Okay, it's a deal."
Tong Huaqiong took a sip of tea, stood up, and asked Mother Mo before leaving: "This tea is good, can you tell me where you bought it?"
Mother Mo said, "It's Lu'an Guapian, ordered from the Lu family's tea shop. If Mr. Tong likes it, I'll give you two boxes."
As he said this, he asked someone to bring out two boxes of tea.
Tong Huaqiong accepted it with a smile.
Mother Mo wanted to establish a good relationship with her.
It's not that Mother Mo follows the trend, but that she and Jin Fengxiang had no alliance in the first place. It's just that Jin Fengxiang's second son has been having a hot relationship with Xianxian recently.
Mother Mo doesn't feel guilty at all for making money from both ends.
Just as she started dealing with Widow Tong, she found a business opportunity.
