Chapter 391 The new ruler
I looked into Bai Ye's eyes and said seriously: "I'll treat you to a meal after the matter is over."
Bai Ye couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or expected, so he just looked at me calmly, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Bai Ye and I are not people who like to procrastinate. After reaching a temporary cooperation, we quickly completed the process and started opening a store on a large scale.
With his help, we finalized several major first-tier cities in China, and the shops quickly opened.
My movements are so big that Shi Ying will certainly not fall behind. Almost wherever I open a store, she must open it next to me or opposite me.
The reason why I was relieved was that although she followed my plan, she did not use any despicable means to frame me again.
I am not afraid that she will do the same thing as me, but I am afraid that she will use the power behind me to deal with me, so that I will not be able to compete with her, so I will be destined to lose from the beginning.
Shiying and I have never seen each other since we met that time. We occasionally see each other as if we didn't see anything, but the secret competition has never stopped.
Both of us have opened stores together, and the styles are similar, so we inevitably attract customers through discounts.
From the beginning, I discussed with Bai Ye and Ike that the discounts should be available, but they cannot be available every day, and the price should not be too low. Fast fashion does not mean cheap.
Therefore, except for the big reward accident on the opening day, the prices and online prices on other days are unified.
But Shi Ying is different. The discount activities in her store are almost all bargaining, and the prices are much lower than mine. Therefore, the customers in my store are attracted by her.
But I am not in a hurry. This is the beginning. A brand wants to survive for a long time, not as simple as low prices.
It is impossible for Shiying to do discounts every day. Our pricing is not high. If there are discounts every day, it seems that sales have been high on the surface, but in fact the profit has dropped sharply.
As expected, Shiying's store couldn't hold on after half a month of discount activities, so it changed its thinking again. New clothing was not discounted, while old clothing was discounted, which allowed the inventory to be removed to a maximum extent.
This trick is not only done by Shi Ying, but also by me.
Under the overwhelming publicity, the brand LRY has gradually gained a foothold and has accumulated a group of loyal customers in the physical store.
On the contrary, Shiying’s store didn’t know what was wrong, and the customer flow decreased sharply. Sometimes I passed by her store and found it was very deserted.
I asked Ike to investigate what was going on, and he quickly found out the reason.
It turned out that Shi Ying wanted to crush me, so many decisions were made without thinking about them.
She has no problem acting, but she is far behind in business. She is not doing well at the beginning, but over time, this disadvantage is exposed.
She made a lot of wrong decisions in her decision-making, and the company opened a large number of stores, which led to the company's development being too fast and could no longer grasp the overall situation.
At this time, someone took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and infringe on the interests of the company.
In order to achieve high rebates, the person in charge of raw materials did not choose the previous supplier, but changed to an average quality one.
As a result, the quality of clothing has dropped significantly, which has attracted dissatisfaction among customers and reduced customer flow.
According to Ike, Shi Ying is busy with this matter now, and it is not easy to accumulate customers. If you make a little mistake, your previous efforts will be in vain.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, I didn't make decisions, but instead pulled Bai Ye and Ike. Otherwise, with my level, LRY would not have developed to this great level now.
It has only been two months since Shi Ying expanded rapidly to collapse now.
The so-called flash in the pan describes the present.
At the same time, I couldn't help but be curious. No matter how much Gu Ci said that he was Shi Ying's husband, his business talent was so high that he didn't help Shi Ying, and watched her decline.
But the good news is that Shi Ying is busy with the company and now she definitely has no time to deal with me. I can slow down and develop steadily.
I saw Shi Ying again at a banquet. She changed her previous glamorous person, looked tired, and felt a lifeless feeling.
When she saw me, she did not sarcastically as usual. She glanced at me quickly and then withdrew her eyes.
I suddenly felt suspicious and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from my ears.
I was not interested at first, but when I heard the word "Ye Family", I couldn't help but prick up my ears and sounded.
"I didn't expect that the Ye family would lose in this election. I thought China would be the Ye family coming to power again."
"The Lin family did not show its scenery before. This time, they won the position of president in one fell swoop. I heard that the city of Beijing is in chaos."
"Haha, no matter who you are president, it has nothing to do with me. Pay taxes when it is time to pay, and no fire can burn me."
In just a few short sentences, I extracted an important message from it, and the president of China has changed hands.
Because I have never paid attention to politics, and I have been busy these few months and have not even had time to read the news.
When I suddenly heard this news, a storm broke out in my heart and subconsciously looked at Bai Ye beside me.
He also heard the words of those people just now, but he looked calm. After seeing me, he quickly said, "Don't ask anything, I'll go back and tell you."
I was holding a lot of words in my heart, but because of his words, they were all suppressed.
I was confused during the whole banquet, couldn't listen to anything or see it.
After finally waiting for the banquet to end, when I entered the car and saw that there was no one around, I immediately asked out my doubts.
"The Ye family did not continue to be re-elected this time."
"Didn't he say he has the highest voice? And there are so many supporters?"
Since I first met Ye Changling, I have regarded him as the future ruler of China, but now someone tells me that he has not succeeded, and the feeling in my heart is beyond words.
But in addition to this, I actually have a sense of secret joy. If the Ye family was not the president, it means that Shi Ying could not frame me so openly.
"Things have not reached the last step, and no one knows the result. This time the change of ownership may be what everyone hopes for." Bai Ye said lightly.
I was suspicious, Bai Ye's reaction was too abnormal, as if he knew something unknown insider.
In an instant, a bold guess came across my mind and I couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "You shouldn't be involved in this matter, right?"
Bai Ye didn't bother me and touched my head and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid of Shiying anymore. Her backer is gone and I will not target you again."
When I heard this, I didn't understand anything, and my nose suddenly felt sore, "When did you get involved?"
“What if I say I’ve been involved?”
I was shocked, "Don't you dislike power? Why do you interfere?"
"I don't like power, but sometimes many things can only be achieved by power."
My pupils shrank, and I quickly grabbed his hand, my voice trembling slightly, "Promise me, don't continue."
Jiang Cheng was suppressed by Ye Changling's political enemies because he met Ye Changling. I still remember this incident vividly and I don't want Bai Ye to be implicated because of this.
"Don't worry, I'm not really involved."
My eyes turned red and tears were about to flow out, "I don't believe it, don't do stupid things for me, otherwise I will never feel at ease in my life."
Bai Ye looked helpless, "Actually, all I really do is provide financial help."
"Hmm?" I looked at him blankly.
"In all my industries, except for me, the major shareholder, the other shareholders are actually controlled by the same person. In other words, there are only two shareholders in the company from beginning to end, one is me and the other is the Lin family."
"The Lin family needs my money, and I need their rights, so I pretend not to know that those shareholders are theirs. Otherwise, why would I be able to open a company to such a large size in just a few years?"
After saying this, I understand that this is a mutually beneficial thing.
When the Lin family wanted money, they secretly supported Bai Ye, and Bai Ye needed their rights to develop, so they agreed that this happened, and he said that he would always participate.
"Then do they know what you see?" I asked with the focus of my words.
"Everyone knew very well, but no one broke it." Bai Ye looked relaxed.
"Will they burn the bridge across the river?" I was more worried about this.
"No." Bai Ye said confidently: "I have always given them the appearance of businessmen over the years, and they are only interested in making money, and the facts are indeed the case. Although I like rights, I don't want to really enter the center of rights. Otherwise, of course I should go to the officialdom rather than the mall."
After a pause, he continued, "This is why they feel so relieved to me. Nothing can work better than a pure businessman."
Although he said it simply, I still couldn't help but worry about something unexpected.
"If you have the chance, you should find a way to jump out of it. Sometimes, in this example, I don't believe in their character." I shook my head and said.
Bai Ye's eyes flashed, "I understand everything."
"By the way, since the Ye family has already done this, will it still target the Jiang family?" I was not worried about Jiang Cheng, but was curious whether I still have this right.
Without this right, it also means that Shi Ying wants to suppress me through the officialdom, which is almost impossible.
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse, but if I were from the Ye family, I would definitely not target the Jiang family anymore, because it would not have any benefits, but would damage my own strength." Bai Ye made a loud voice.
I finally felt much more relaxed when I heard this, so I could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. Without the support of the Ye family, Shi Ying was not afraid at all.
"Don't worry, I won't let Shiying hurt you."
