Chapter 456, Showdown
Lu An said carefully: "Don't worry, auntie. I come from a poor and remote area. I have suffered a lot since I was a child. I know the cold and warmth, and I am a person who cherishes the old times."
The words "very cherish the old times" are his verbal assurance, and Huang Ying's mind is much more open.
Weighing the strength of the enemy and me, she said: "Although Jiangsu Province is adjacent to Anhui Province, I have only heard a few words about the boss here, and I still lack a comprehensive understanding. I just don't know if the network behind him is big?"
Although Huang Ying used a question sentence this time, Lu An almost understood it in seconds. This auntie wanted to tell herself that if the network behind the other party is too strong, their Huang family may not be able to compete.
Think about it, when the level reaches a certain level, it is impossible to climb up without connections behind, and the Huang family also has it.
But now the old man of the Huang family is about to retire, and the second generation of the Huang family has not completely established a firm foothold. In the eyes of the above, the available value of these is greatly discounted. If the enemy is in the prime of life, the cross-regional influence of the Huang family will inevitably be weakened.
Glancing at Lu An, Huang Ying continued, "But everything has its pros and cons, good and bad. You can use this incident to connect with the relevant people in Jinling and get along well. As long as this crisis can be smoothly overcome, I believe that ordinary people will not dare to find fault with you in the future."
The underlying meaning of Huang Ying's words is: take advantage of this opportunity to spend money to build a network of relationships and establish your own power.
Because whether it is the Huang family or Yu Wanzhi, they are external forces for Lu An. External forces can be used for a while, but they cannot be used all the time. After all, the Yu and Huang families have a large population, involve a wide range of interests, and people's hearts are not necessarily the same. Before Lu An becomes a towering tree, it is impossible to invest in him endlessly.
That's why Huang Ying reminded him implicitly: if he has strength and is protected by external forces, then he can rest assured.
In fact, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of people at their level, friendship is equal to the exchange of interests. Only when interests are transferred can Lu An's value be infinitely magnified.
Lu An is not a rookie. After listening to her proposal, he has a deep sense of identity.
When I returned to Jinling Bubusheng Supermarket, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. People were coming and going at the entrance of the supermarket, and it was still lively.
Looking at this prosperous scene, Huang Ying suddenly asked: "How much is the net profit of this supermarket every day?"
Lu An said: "About 290,000, not including holidays."
Huang Ying asked again: "I heard that it will expand to the whole southern Jiangsu in the first half of the year?"
Lu An nodded, "About the same, by then there will be three in Jinling, one each in Zhenjiang, Wuxi, Changzhou and Suzhou, a total of 7."
Huang Ying looked up and said, "How are those compared to this one?"
Lu An replied: "The newly built supermarkets in Xinjiekou and Suzhou are flagship stores, about twice as large as this one, and the others are of the same size as this one."
Hearing this, Huang Ying calculated in her mind that a supermarket would make about 290,000 a day, and the daily profit of 7 supermarkets would exceed 2 million.
2 million a day these days!
Not including holidays!
What a huge fortune, no wonder it makes people jealous.
I knew his supermarket was very profitable before, but I didn't think it would make so much money. Huang Ying glanced at Lu An, her eyes shining.
She began to think that if the Huang family, the opponent this time, could handle it, she would try her best.
This was done for Tingting.
With Yu Wanzhi, a powerful rival in love, Tingting's status as a legitimate girlfriend was in danger of being overturned at any time. If possible, she, as a younger sister-in-law, had to help.
She had to let Luan realize that it was not only Yu Wanzhi who could help him, but marrying Tingting home would also be a great help to him.
Second, it was for her own consideration.
She was unable to have children in this life, and had long given up the idea of love. All her energy was focused on the word "power".
She had great ambitions, and in the process of realizing her ambitions, it was necessary to take charge of one side. In this environment centered on economic construction, GDP was a major indicator for measuring performance. If Luan could invest in the place where she was in charge, it would undoubtedly be a booster for the rocket to take off, and she needed it very much.
After sorting out her thoughts, Huang Ying looked at her watch and said, "It's still early, take me to the supermarket."
Even if she didn't ask, Lu An would go in to find Zeng Ziqian and others. She said yes verbally and walked in first.
Having never taken Bubusheng Supermarket seriously before, now that she had a plan in mind, Huang Ying went through the three floors of the supermarket and observed it carefully. The good mental outlook of the employees, the advanced business philosophy of the supermarket and the service attitude that made people feel at home made her draw a conclusion: Lu An has a strong talent for business, and Bubusheng Supermarket has a lot to do.
When she arrived at the office on the third floor, Zeng Ziqian, Liu Tao, Li Renjun and Yang Xue, several senior managers of the company, were all there, and they were anxiously discussing the matter of the first meeting.
Seeing the boss appear, these people stood up and walked towards him.
Seeing that several people glanced at Huang Ying behind them from time to time, Lu An introduced sideways: "This is my aunt, Huang Ying."
Among the company's senior executives, except Zeng Ziqian, although they rarely go to Nanjing University, they have vaguely heard that the boss has a girlfriend named Huang Ting.
All of them were surnamed Huang, and the boss had just returned from Wuhu, so the four of them understood a lot of things in an instant.
Especially Yang Xue, who was sent by Yu Wanzhi, looked at Huang Ying several more times, and couldn't help thinking: Should I secretly tell Miss Yu what happened here?
When Yang Xue came to Jinling, Yu Guanzhi once told her: If Lu An encounters difficulties, she must be notified in time.
But now the boss's girlfriend's mother-in-law has come with her, and they are obviously not here to make trouble at this critical moment, which is embarrassing.
After weighing it up, Yang Xue decided to tell Yu Guanzhi about this matter. As for Yu Guanzhi's attitude and how he would deal with it? That's other people's business, she has no business to do.
Lu An asked Zeng Ziqian: "Where is the information I want? Are you ready?"
Zeng Ziqian nodded, turned around, took out a document bag from the drawer in his office, and handed it to him.
Lu An took the document bag, pulled out a total of 11 pages of documents, and read them in front of everyone.
After reading it, he handed the document in his hand to Huang Ying beside him without saying a word.
At this time, the office was quiet, and everyone focused on Huang Ying. After 15 minutes, Huang Ying finished reading, raised her head and said to Lu An, "Where is your office? I need to make a few calls."
She didn't ask Luan if he had an office?
As a boss, what would it be like if the company didn’t have an office?
Luan stood up, "It's next door, follow me."
After going out, crossing the corridor, and entering the office next door, Huang Ying closed the door behind her and said again with a serious face: "This person is a hardliner and not easy to mess with."
Staring at Huang Ying steadily, Lu An said: "Now that things have happened, I have been provoked even if it is not easy to offend. Moreover, it was me who took the initiative to provoke me. There is no way out."
After looking at each other for a long time, Huang Ying asked: "What are your thoughts?"
Lu An was confused: "What do you think?"
Huang Ying put it another way: "What is your purpose? Is it because you can't swallow this breath and completely break up with others? Or is it to make money by being friendly?"
Lu An was curious: "His son's legs have been broken, how can he still be harmonious and make money?"
Huang Ying crossed her arms and said, "It depends on the situation. If you are a pure businessman, painter and student with no background and only money, of course you can't; but if there is someone behind you who can fight with each other, then of course you can."
Lu An had the urge to break up with the other party, but he understood that in the current social environment, this idea was the most unwise, because he was not strong enough and did not have the capital.
After thinking about it, he said: "I opened a supermarket just to make some money and to express my ambitions. I have never thought about getting in trouble with others. As long as they put away their minions and release Chu Jian and others intact, then Give Chu Yun some medical expenses, and I’ll pretend this never happened.”
Huang Ying smiled and said, "You're going to have to apologize openly."
Lu An said categorically: "There is a difference between paying a medical fee and openly apologizing."
Huang Ying was very clear about his thoughts. Whether it was money or not was a trivial matter. The key was an attitude, an attitude that conveyed information to the outside world. It was all posted on the 5th, allowing those blind and jealous people to weigh their identities.
Huang Ying thought about it and said, "Go and do your work first. I'll come find you later."
Lu An said hello and turned back to Zeng Ziqian's office.
Then he began to ask one by one: "How was it when we first met at the police station?"
Zeng Ziqian replied: "It's just detention for interrogation, the rest is fine for now. I guess these people are also waiting and watching, and they don't dare to lynching."
Lu An felt reassured and asked again: "How is the situation in the supermarket? Has anyone interfered with the logistics?"
Liu Tao talked: "Not yet, but this matter has a great impact. Several local suppliers in Jinling have called me several times out of concern."
Lu An said to him: "There may be similar inquiries in the future. You have to appease them and do not affect the supermarket operations in any way. If any supplier has trouble this time, they will be held accountable afterwards."
Liu Tao nodded and kept this in mind.
After asking several questions in succession, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the enemy had not yet taken action on the company's operations. He glanced at Yang Xue and said, "Now the company is in a critical period of growth. There can be no more mistakes. You have to do more." Wait, that’s it for today’s meeting. If anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Yang Xue and others left.
Knowing that his boss must have something to do with him, Zeng Ziqian sat still.
After the door of the conference room closed, Lu An asked, "Have all the people who attacked Chu Yun been caught?"
Zeng Ziqian shook his head: "No, I only found 6 people at first sight, and 5 others were hiding."
Lu An was silent. After a moment, he grabbed the landline phone on the table and pressed down a series of numbers.
"Hey, who is it?" An unserious voice over there.
"Sun Long, it's me."
"Fuck! Master? Where are you now?"
"At BuBuSheng Supermarket."
As he said that, Lu An asked: "Is your dad at home? Is he free?"
"Holy crap! I knew you would be up to no good by looking for me at this time. Are you looking for my dad to take revenge?" Sun Long asked.
Lu An asked: "You also know?"
Sun Long said exaggeratedly: "Those younger brothers of yours are so arrogant. The boss's son dared to break his legs. This is what our Sun family eats. Do you know what happened in this broken gala in Jinling?"
Lu An smiled and said, "I want to visit my uncle."
Sun Long shouted: "Now?"
Luan said: "There is no time for me, now is the time."
There was no sound for half a minute. Half a minute later, Sun Long said, "My old man has already started making tea. Come here quickly."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Lu An turned to Zeng Ziqian and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Zeng Ziqian asked, "Is it convenient for me?"
Lu An said, "You will have to finish these things from now on."
Zeng Ziqian understood and followed him out of the supermarket.
Bubusheng Supermarket is not far from Sun's house, and it only takes a few minutes to drive there.
But it was a bit surprising that Long Yan and Li Zaimei were also there. I don't know if these two sisters have been playing at Sun Long's house, or if Sun Long specially called them here.
Sun Long's father is Sun Hao, a man who is good at both black and white, but his appearance is not as rough as imagined. He looks more gentle than expected with glasses.
Sun Hao personally went outside to greet them. After a brief greeting, everyone sat down at the coffee table.
After drinking two small cups of tea, Sun Hao asked curiously, "How did Brother Lu come up with the idea of opening a supermarket?"
Lu An opened his mouth and said, "My master's family is in Yangcheng. I went there to learn painting. I was fortunate to see Wanjia Department Store in Shenzhen, so I came up with this idea."
Guan Shanyue is Lu An's master. This is a well-known fact. Sun Hao sighed, "There are countless people in the country who have seen Wanjia Department Store. To be honest, I have seen its news in the newspaper more than once, but I didn't feel anything at the time. Such a big opportunity was seized by Brother Lu. Brother Lu is very powerful."
Lu An responded with a smile, "I don't deserve such praise from my uncle. It's just a matter of personal luck."
Sun Hao smiled and asked him without beating around the bush, "Brother Lu came to see me just after returning from Wuhu. I think he has something to do?"
Lu An said, "There were 11 There are only 6 people coming to the hospital now. I want to ask my uncle about the whereabouts of the other 5 people. "
Hearing this, Sun Long couldn't help asking: "Master, you don't want to get the remaining 5 people into the hospital, do you?"
Lu An grinned and said: "In our traditional culture, righteousness is the most important thing. The boss's son is in the hospital. There is no reason for these people not to accompany him. I think the boss thinks so too."
Sun Long's mouth twitched and he gave a thumbs up, "No wonder you are the master, you are ruthless!"
Sun Hao turned the teacup and asked: "Brother Lu is lucky. I just know where the 5 people are hiding. Really?"
Lu An said: "I will talk to that person sooner or later. This is a gift for meeting."
Sun Hao smiled meaningfully, then got up and went to the study. Not long after, a man appeared outside the door, a young man about 30 years old, dressed in a suit.
Sun Hao pointed at the man and said, "Brother Lu, if you want to know anything, you can ask him."
Lu An glanced at Zeng Ziqian and sat still.
Seeing this, Zeng Ziqian immediately said goodbye to Sun Hao and followed the young man out of Sun's house.
When Zeng Ziqian and the other man walked away, Long Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Squad leader, what is your relationship with Yu Wanzhi?"
