In the early morning of April, the air was fresh and the wind was gentle. It was the best time to sleep in. Du Qi slept all the way until the sun was high in the sky. At this time, Du Ruhui had already left with Li Shimin. Without Du Ruhui in the manor, Du Qi felt more comfortable than ever before. He was free from all restraints and no one was controlling him.
Early in the morning, Du Qi went to the backyard to meet with the Jeong Clan. He told them that he wanted to transfer some people from the Du Family who knew how to cook. They would be trained by Liu Jian and used in the operation of the restaurant.
For the restaurant to operate, other than Jin Wuque, the kitchen was the most important.
Without the kitchen, the restaurant would not be able to operate.
However, Du Qi was not at ease to casually recruit people from outside. Only the children of the Du Family, his own people, could be used by Du Qi without worrying about them leaving.
The Jeong Clan was happy to accept Du Qi's request. The more she looked at Du Qi, the more satisfied she was.
As expected of her son.
With a wave of her hand, the Jeong Clan gave Du Qi ten chefs who knew how to cook. There were four men and six women. The four men and six women in the residence all knew how to cook. After having a basic cooking skill, Liu Jian only needed to train them a little, and they would be able to do the job.
Not to mention the quality of the dishes, they would be able to make the basic dishes.
Du Qi brought them back to the courtyard and threw them to Liu Jian, letting him be in charge of training them. Liu Jian wasn't even twenty years old yet. Facing some of the aunties in the residence, he really couldn't handle it. In the beginning, he was a little restrained.
Du Qi saw that Liu Jian was trying to smooth things over with the others. He laughed and joked. He directly said that if they did not know how to teach, they could just beat them back. There was no need to go to the restaurant. Immediately, the laughter stopped. No one dared to joke around anymore, and they carefully studied.
Du Qi even called Liu Jian over and gave him a stern lecture. He told Liu Jian to be strict and chase away those who didn't listen. He even told Liu Jian to be tough.
In the end, Du Qi directly said that if Liu Jian could not complete the task, Liu Jian would have to leave and become a chef in a restaurant, so that he would not embarrass himself.
With just one sentence, Liu Jian immediately became unyielding.
To Liu Jian, Young Master was everything.
Young Master's words were the heavens.
Therefore, Liu Jian suddenly changed his style. He no longer held back when he trained the ten chefs. Although the chefs were resentful, they could only comply. Furthermore, they would be able to learn culinary skills. Thus, although they were all resentful, they suppressed their feelings and practiced as slaves.
Du Qi saw this, but he did not care. After all, he could not be bothered to care about this matter. As long as Liu Jian could take care of it, it would be fine.
He only cared about the results.
In the afternoon, the gatekeeper of the mansion rushed in and reported, "Young Master, Jin Wuque and Qianxue are here. They said they have something important to report to Young Master."
"Let them in!"
Du Qi instructed.
The gatekeeper went to pass on the order. After a while, Jin Wuque and Qianxue entered together.
The two of them had a serious expression on their faces.
When the two of them entered the courtyard, they smelled a fragrant aroma. After all, these ten people were practicing their culinary skills. Although the taste of the dishes they cooked was not as good as Liu Jian's, they were still better than some of the dishes they usually cooked.
Jin Wuque glanced at the chefs who were practicing. He knew that these people were the ones who were about to join the restaurant.
When he saw the dishes, he had a confident expression on his face.
These dishes were enough.
However, since the restaurant was a restaurant, it could not only have dishes but no wine. Now, he had already started to choose the wine that some wine shops would provide. He had to choose good wine. At the very least, the wine of the restaurant could not be a burden.
Du Qi looked at the two who entered. He waved his hand and the two of them sat down. Du Qi looked at their serious expressions and said, "What happened? The two of you came at the same time, which is rare."
Jin Wuque reported, "Young Master, a tea shop has appeared opposite our World's Number One Tea Shop. It sells the same tea leaves. Moreover, the other party's price is lower than ours. Of course, the taste of the tea leaves is not as good. However, with such a shop, it will be a blow to us. This is what Miss Qianxue and I are worried about. "
Qian Xue nodded and said, "This is the first competing tea shop. Soon, there will be a second and a third. When the time comes, all kinds of tea shops that imitate our tea will spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain, continuously emerging. The impact on us will be huge. Therefore, I discussed with Shopkeeper Jin and came up with a plan for Young Master to approve. "
Du Qi said, "Tell me, what did you think?"
Jin Wuque said seriously, "After discussing this matter with Miss Qianxue, we agreed that this trend cannot be allowed to continue. It must be suppressed. Therefore, our attitude is to suppress the other party with price. We can lower the price of the tea leaves. In this way, the other party will not be able to continue operating and can only close down. "
Du Qi's temples trembled.
What kind of idea was this?
Fight a price war.
It was just tea leaves. They actually wanted to fight a price war. Moreover, once they started a price war, the impact on them would be huge. This was something Du Qi did not want to see.
Du Qi said directly, "Don't even think about a price war. We can't do that."
Jin Wuque said, "Young Master, what brilliant plan do you have?"
Qianxue also looked at Du Qi and said, "I have also thought about it. It will not be easy for us to defeat the other party. After all, we have investigated and found out that the other party's tea shop is the Yin Family's tea shop. The Yin Family is a distant relative. They have Yin De Consort and the Crown Prince behind them. It will not be easy for us to act secretly. Therefore, the best way is to fight a price war. "
When Du Qi heard about the Yin Family, he was instantly interested.
He did not expect it to be the Yin Family.
When he first transmigrated, he met with Yin Changqing's complaint, which led to him entering the palace to confront him. At that time, the Yin Family did not do anything for a period of time. But now, they actually jumped out again.
Du Qi stretched his body and said, "I'm just worried that I have nothing to do now. Well, since the Du Family jumped out, I can fight with them. "
A bright light flashed in his eyes.
There was also a trace of sharpness.
Du Qi was not a kind person. He was willing to get along well with those who took care of him. However, Du Qi did not have any pity for his enemies. Because kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.
Jin Wuque asked, "Young Master, what do you plan to do?"
"Let's go to the tea shop."
Du Qi instructed. He looked at the person who was teaching the chef not far away. He said, "Liu Jian, stay in the residence and teach them well. I am going to the tea shop. If there is anything, come to the tea shop to find me. "
"Yes!"
Liu Jian replied immediately.
He wanted to go with Du Qi, but the matter of the restaurant had been put on the agenda. This matter could not be avoided. Therefore, during this period of time, he had to teach these people before he could leave.
Du Qi brought Qianxue to the tea shop.
Now that Liu Jian was not by his side, Qianxue became a maid. She made tea and massaged Du Qi. Life was comfortable.
Jin Wuque sat in front of Du Qi and said, "Young Master, the Yin Family people are openly shouting outside, saying that the tea shop's prices are low and the taste is good. You have to come up with an idea since the fire is burning your eyebrows. We can't fight a price war, so we have to think of a way. "
Du Qi tapped on the table in front of him as he pondered.
Qianxue was behind Du Qi, massaging Du Qi's back. She lowered her head and looked at the focused Du Qi. Her heart was as calm as water. She felt that this kind of life was not bad.
After a while, Du Qi opened his eyes.
Du Qi said, "Jin Wuque, you have three things to do now."
When Jin Wuque heard this, he was immediately motivated.
His Young Master was an extremely powerful person. Since he had a detailed plan, it would be easy to deal with the tea shop opposite.
Jin Wuque said, "Please give me your orders, Young Master!"
Du Qi said, "The first thing is to investigate the Yin Family's tea supplier. They want to sell tea leaves continuously, so they must have enough tea leaves. Just based on the amount they buy, it is definitely not enough. Therefore, we have to find the person who planted the leaves and find out the situation of the tea supply behind them. "
Jin Wuque said, "Yes!"
Du Qi continued, "The second thing is to spend some money to find out the Yin Family's tea production process. Although they know about our tea and probably know the general method, they can only rely on themselves to figure out how to do it. Find out how they produce tea on a large scale. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque said again.
Du Qi's eyes were sharp and he continued, "The third thing is to find out the Yin Family's tea shop's current business situation. Especially the person in charge of purchasing tea leaves. We have to find out who this person is. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque said finally.
Du Qi waved his sleeves and said, "This is the general situation. I will give you one day to gather all the information today. Can you do it? "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque said confidently, "During this period of time, I have made some good friends in the tea shop. Moreover, I am doing business in the East City and have some close friends. It won't be difficult to complete these three tasks. "
"That's good!"
Du Qi said with a smile.
Jin Wuque stood up and left hurriedly to deal with the matters at hand.
