Section 619

Looking at Ji Guoxiong, who is in his forties, he looks like a thirty-year-old young man, full of ambition and vitality.

When I saw him saying with firm eyes and confidence that Jiuxiang Hotpot was as good as Guodilao, I couldn't help but praise him: "Mr. Ji is handsome!"

Ji Guoxiong: "..."

Yu Siying: "Mr. Ji is indeed handsome, and the boss is even more handsome!"

Su Yang: "Stop flattering me!"

Xu Fei: "Boss, stop being humble. The models here at the headquarters all praise the boss for being handsome!"

Lin Yi: "It's the same with us here. Chen Tao even praised the boss and said that the boss is more handsome than male celebrities in the entertainment industry!"

"..."

Su Yang had to change the topic: "x-on:吉国雄x-on:连思影: Are you ready for the follow-up?"

Yu Siying: "It's all arranged!"

Ji Guoxiong: "Ready!"

After Ji Guoxiong, general manager of Jiuxiang Catering, confirmed the "rumors", many media outlets also stepped down, including some official print media.

Many people have begun to analyze why Guodi Lao wants to acquire Jiuxiang Chain.

Many media began to dig deeper into the operating conditions of Guodi Lao and Jiuxiang Hotpot.

Guodilao is a listed company and its financial reports are published every quarter every year.

Although Jiuxiang Hotpot has not released financial reports, it can still obtain some superficial data from various channels.

As a result, many reporters discovered that Jiuxiang Hotpot had indeed suppressed Guodilao in Rongcheng and Shancheng!

At least there are more Jiuxiang hotpots than Guodilao, and business seems to be pretty good.

In other Guizhou provinces and Chang'an, the newly opened Jiuxiang Hotpot business is also very good!

While Guodilao branches closed down in various places, none of the dozens of Jiuxiang Hotpot branches across the four provinces closed down...

In today's period of decline in the catering industry, this kind of achievement is a bit incredible!

Many media believe that it is possible that Guodi Lao felt the threat of Jiuxiang Hotpot and wanted to nip this threat in the bud.

As for online media, those self-media bloggers and various accounts have made this hot topic and told this story even more unscrupulously.

The reports by self-media bloggers are all biased towards conspiracy theories. It is almost said that Guodilao wants to eliminate Jiuxiang Hotpot, a new force that threatens its industry status, through acquisition.

Some self-media bloggers also dug up the matter of the boss of Guo Di Lao immigrating to Singapore, saying that Jiuxiang Hotpot is a real domestic enterprise!

Unconsciously, many people who read these reports will involuntarily compare Jiuxiang Hotpot with Haidilao...

As long as this is the case, the goal of Jiuxiang Catering will be achieved!

This is the first time Jiuxiang Hotpot has made its way out of the entertainment industry, and it has become famous throughout the country.

As a hotpot chain that threatens the status of domestic giant Guodilao in the industry!

It didn’t take long for the comment sections of many online platforms to start a war of words regarding such reports.

Some people call Jiuxiang Hotpot shameless and try their best to get traffic from the pot.

Someone spoke for Jiuxiang Hotpot, saying that Guodi Lao wanted to buy Jiuxiang first, so he must have no good intentions!

Some people say that Guodi Lao has the best service quality.

Some people argue that the service of Jiuxiang Hotpot is just as good, and the taste is even better!

Some people say that Guodi Lao pays its employees high wages.

Some people retorted that the treatment of employees at Jiuxiang Hot Pot Restaurant is no worse than Guodi Lao, and they even have weekends off!

…

At the Guodilao headquarters, CEO Lei Mingwei looked at the scoldings under the short videos. He felt good at first, but his face turned ugly soon after.

He couldn't help but ask the vice president next to him: "Didn't you say that you need to deal with it coldly? Why does it feel like there is a navy?"

The vice president frowned and said, "I have also received the news. It seems that many people are speaking for us and quarreling with some supporters of Jiuxiang Hotpot. The marketing department said that there are indeed traces of troll activities!"

Lei Mingwei: "We really didn't invite the navy?"

The vice president said firmly: "Absolutely not, Mr. Lei personally gave instructions!"

At this moment, Lei Mingwei suddenly realized: "mlgbd's Ji Guoxiong!"

He did not doubt the boss of Jufan Holdings.

After all, he heard that the boss of Jufan Holdings had already gone on vacation and was not in the company.

Jiuxiang Catering now has the power of Ji Guoxiong!

Moreover, Mr. Su was young, only twenty-five years old.

Guodilao has long noticed Jiuxiang Hotpot. When Jiuxiang Hotpot opened all over Rongcheng, they discovered that Jiuxiang Hotpot's hotpot tastes better than their Guodilao.

In the past six months, Lei Mingwei has been sending elites to the hot pot base factory, trying to steal various recipes of Jiuxiang hot pot.

However, the confidentiality of Jiuxiang Hotpot is almost airtight.

Almost all of the nearly ten elites he sent over were dismissed by Jiuxiang Hotpot for various reasons within a month.

The people sent out are all trustworthy talents. Some have been working in the society for many years, some are elites with high IQs in colleges and universities, and some are masters of deception... As a result, they all failed to survive the probation period when they entered Jiuxiang Catering. !

He also sent someone to bribe the internal employees of Jiuxiang Hotpot, but the results he bought three times in a row were all fake recipes!

And those who are bribed by him will soon be fired by Jiuxiang Catering.

Fake recipe!

It was leaked on purpose, no doubt!

He didn't dare to do it again, for fear that Jiuxiang Catering would notice that they were doing something bad, and for fear of being caught with evidence!

Only a few senior executives within the company knew about these things.

After all, you can't talk about sneaking around for fear of affecting your reputation.

Lei Mingwei had no choice but to use the acquisition method to eliminate the threat of Jiuxiang Hotpot and get the recipe of Jiuxiang Hotpot!

I didn’t expect the other party to be so shameless and keep hyping the acquisition!

The vice president suddenly reacted when he heard Lei Mingwei’s scolding.

They did deal with it coldly, but Jiuxiang Catering started to play their own games.

Since he played himself, he also played them!

This... is really disgusting!

Changan, a young couple strolled in the night market.

The boy whispered: "Are you hungry? How about going to eat something?"

"Sure!"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Just eat hot pot!"

The boy suggested: "Then let's go to Guodi Lao?"

He has been to Guodi Lao several times and is quite familiar with it.

His habit is that if he feels that a store is not bad, he will go there often!

The girl shook her head: "I'm tired of eating here. I wonder if there is Jiuxiang Hotpot here. I heard that this hotpot restaurant chain is very famous and has a branch in Chang'an!"

"I'll check it on the map... Well, it's really there, not far away!"

"Then let's go!"

"Okay!"

Not long after, the couple was stunned when they arrived in front of Jiuxiang Hotpot.

Looking at the more than 20 customers sitting on plastic stools in front of the hotpot restaurant, the boy complained: "I didn't expect the business to be so good!"

"Yeah!"

"Why don't we go to another one!"

"No, just eat here, there's no rush anyway!" The girl said as a matter of course, "Since so many people are queuing in this restaurant, it must be delicious, I want to try it!"

"Okay!"

Soon, a waiter brought two plastic stools to the couple and sent them small desserts from the hotpot restaurant for them to taste for free.

While eating, the girl chatted with the girl of the same age in front of her. Only then did she know that the other party was also a local, but had never eaten Jiuxiang Hotpot before.

Today I heard on the Internet that Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant is delicious, not worse than Guodi Lao, so I simply asked my three good friends to come and try it!

Then, someone else lined up behind the couple...

In Jiangcheng, Hubei Province, Qian Xiaochang was having dinner with the two major shareholders of Sitong Food and several other management members, and he was drunk!

In front of him, there were already three empty bottles of Moutai, and more than 20 beer bottles on the ground.
