A Divine Farmer

Chapter 384

C384 – You Should Have Shrunk Back!

Qiu Yuansheng’s intention was clear. He wanted Zhang Xiaolong to tell everyone that the dishes served by Soaring Dragon were delicious, yet he refused to share them with everyone. This was clearly a case of him hogging all the benefits and not giving any to others. How could he not cause public outrage?

Although there was a competitive relationship between the restaurants, they still had to show their face. If they really offended everyone in the industry, it was likely that they would be ostracized by everyone. Even if you were self-sufficient, you would not be able to escape from the crowd. At the very least, everyone would ostracize you, and no matter how strong you were, you would not be able to escape.

“Then what about Director Qiu’s suggestion?” Zhang Xiaolong had long known that this guy would not let this matter rest, so he asked with a smile.

“Will you listen to me?” Qiu Yuansheng raised his eyebrows, indicating that Zhang Xiaolong was an unfit person who wanted everyone to ostracize him.

“Director Qiu is the Restaurant and Catering Association President. Since I’m here, I naturally want to listen to the President’s opinion. Under the circumstances where it doesn’t affect the overall situation, I will do my best to cooperate with the President’s decision.” Zhang Xiaolong said obediently.

Qiu Yuansheng thought to himself, are you trying to show me weakness now? It’s too late. If I had sent Luh Xiaoya over earlier, there would still be a chance for me to let the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant off. Now that I want to withdraw, I have to take a layer of my skin off.

“Alright, according to what I mean, Director Zhang, you shouldn’t hog all the benefits. No matter what industry it is, it is always the blooming of flowers. Since you have such good ingredients, you should share them with all your peers. This is a good thing that can promote the development of our industry. Director Zhang, you can consider it. I know that you have the authority to make this decision, but after all, it is related to benefits.”

Qiu Yuansheng’s words were very tactful. On the surface, he was speaking on Zhang Xiaolong’s behalf, but in reality, he was telling everyone that this person would never sell the vegetables to them, because it would harm his own interests.

Normally, in the business world, no one would give away their profits for the sake of the public interest. However, if Zhang Xiaolong did not express his stance, it would make people feel uncomfortable.

Luh Xiaoya’s palms were already sweating. She knew that she was the one who caused all this. She really wanted to stand out and refute him, but this was not a good idea. She could only tightly hold onto Zhang Xiaolong, hoping that he could hold on.

“Director Qiu is right. I have always planned to push the better vegetables to your colleagues’ restaurants. However, I remember that Director Qiu’s Hundred River Company is also a supplier of vegetables. It is not good to extend your hands to such a long distance, so as to avoid damaging Director Qiu’s interests. Everyone will see each other when you lower your head, and that will not be good.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled as he tried to block his words.

The surrounding people also secretly gave him a thumbs up. Although this young man was not very old, his Taiji Fist was really good. Not only did he explain why he was eating alone, but he also hinted that he was doing this for Zhang Xiaolong’s good. He was using Zhang Xiaolong as a stepping stone!

“Hehe, it doesn’t matter. Hundred River Company has always been serving all of our colleagues. We are dedicated to providing the cheapest and the best vegetables to everyone. If there are any better vegetables that can be provided to everyone, Hundred River Company is willing to give them to you. Even if we go bankrupt in the end, we can be considered to have made a contribution to the Yanjing’s food and beverage industry.” Qiu Yuansheng said righteously.

His words immediately attracted a round of applause. Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs, “Director Qiu is truly benevolent and righteous!”

Then, many people turned their attention to Zhang Xiaolong, waiting to see what he would do.

Those with a clear mind had already noticed that Zhang Xiaolong had used these ingredients to raise the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant. Qiu Yuansheng’s ruthless move was to use this opportunity to destroy the Divine Dragon Restaurant. However, this move would affect everyone’s interests, so no one cared about what Qiu Yuansheng was thinking.

“Alright then.” Zhang Xiaolong looked around. Under the immense pressure, he seemed to have no choice but to compromise. “Since everyone has taken a fancy to this vegetable, if I keep it to myself, then it will be like what Director Qiu said. It will be a one-man show. Since everyone has taken a fancy to it, it will be the honor of Soaring Dragon Company. From this moment onwards, I declare that Soaring Dragon Company will enter Yanjing and supply the best vegetables to all of our competitors. Uhm… To avoid affecting the business of other vegetable wholesalers, whoever has a purchase order from Director Qiu can get the vegetables first. Since this is the beginning, the quantity is limited. First come, first serve…”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll order a batch!”

“I’ll order it too. I used to have a purchase order from Hundred River.”

“Director Qiu, uhm… Can we cancel the batch of vegetables we talked about this morning? I feel like the restaurant can’t eat so much now. I’m really sorry!”

Qiu Yuansheng’s face was filled with tears. Damn it, this is not right. Didn’t you have so many high-quality vegetables and they were all exclusively supplied? You should be strongly against it. You should have told everyone that there were no such things. What the hell is this all-in-one business?

All-in-one business?

He immediately reacted. If he could grow one acre of vegetables, then he could grow ten acres. How could there be a company that could only supply one restaurant with their vegetables? Then what was the point of doing a wholesale business?

He fell for it! Zhang Xiaolong, this little brat, he had long wanted to enter the Yanjing’s food wholesale business. However, this business was even more difficult than a restaurant. Therefore, he had been hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

As for his stupid son, he actually believed that the other party had no way to supply the vegetables. He was also so stupid that he said some righteous words, saying that it was for the prosperity of the food and beverage industry…

Prosperity my ass! What does it have to do with him whether others prosper or not? He was the one who was prospering!

The problem was that no one was thinking about this at the moment. Everyone was fighting to order food from Zhang Xiaolong. And this line was still led by him. What the f * ck!

“Everyone, do you really believe that Zhang Xiaolong’s cucumber can only be served with salt?”

Qiu Yuansheng knew that if he didn’t say anything now, these restaurants would never be able to say goodbye to his Hundred River Company. Furthermore, the banner was given by him. With a thought, he immediately came up with an idea.

“Which chef in your restaurant didn’t make sufficient preparations before the competition? Just the seasoning alone, the variety of flavorings, and the lack of one flavor would make the dish lacking in taste. But what about the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant?” Qiu Yuansheng deduced, as if he was a famous scout in a novel, “When their chef came up, he only cut the cucumber and sprinkled salt on it. Everyone here is an expert in the industry for more than ten years. Have you ever seen such a delicacy?”

The previously excited restaurant owner calmed down. It was reasonable to say so. Just a spoonful of salt was enough to create a perfect cold dish. It was almost impossible. A truly delicious cold dish also required a lot of supplementary ingredients, but…

“What do you want to say, Director Qiu?” Zhang Xiaolong said with a faint smile, “Just now, Director Qiu said that I was eating alone. I changed my mind. Now, I will listen to your offerings to everyone. You don’t seem to be too happy about it. If this action harms the benefits of the Hundred River Company…”

Qiu Yuansheng’s eyes twitched. He thought to himself that it must have affected him. You better take the initiative to retreat. Why don’t you retreat?

“If it really harms the Hundred River Company’s benefits,” Zhang Xiaolong smiled, “Then I can only apologize to Director Qiu. Everyone is doing this for the prosperity of Yanjing’s catering industry!”
