Chapter 245 Choose one of the two
Li Yang felt that there was only one way forward for him.

That is to cultivate the clone.

Who asked him to want both?

If I don’t cultivate my clone, things won’t be so easy to solve.

It's this move, but with his current strength, he probably won't be able to do it.

That night, Qi Jialiang sorted out the day's surveillance footage and sent it over, and also brought Li Yang another piece of news.

Those who took advantage of the situation were mostly employees of Xingcheng Supermarket.

Only some old men and old ladies...

After all, the red envelopes are only distributed in the morning, and one has to queue up to pay, so the maximum a person can get is about a few hundred or a thousand yuan.

"The year-end bonus, New Year bonus, and severance pay will be arranged for her. The company will also pay for her social security for two months to give her time to find a job. I will keep an eye on this matter."

"clear."

……

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Jiang Banxia went back to visit relatives, and Li Yang also returned home.

After returning home, I thought my father would be very happy, after all, he stayed in his hometown for so long yesterday. But when I just got home, I found that the atmosphere at home was a little wrong.

Dad sat on the sofa with a stern face, and although Mom was busy, she was obviously not in a good mood.

That is, when Xue Ning handed Li Yuqing to Li Likun, Li Likun's expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright, and he smiled and played with the child.

Li Yang winked at Xue Ning, and the two went to the bedroom.

Then, Li Yang asked, "What happened at home? Weren't you happy yesterday? I saw my dad posted Yuqing's red envelope on his WeChat Moments."

Xue Ning whispered, "Uncle and his friends drank too much yesterday afternoon and said some nasty things, which were heard by Dad."

Li Yang understood it immediately.

What else could Li Lifa and the others say? They couldn't bring themselves to talk about anything else, so they could only talk about Xue Ning.

After all, Xue Ning had a child before marriage, so it was perfect to use the child as an attack.

Maybe they didn't say it openly, but it's normal for a few words to reach Li Likun's ears in private.

Li Lifa and the others said this and that about Li Likun, but Li Likun didn't take it to heart at all. In his opinion, he was his brother and saying a few words wouldn't hurt him much.

But it’s not okay to talk about Xue Ning, and it’s even less okay to talk about Li Yuqing.

Xue Ning was originally a victim, and her child was only a few months old. How could she endure such vicious words?
After Li Yang figured out the situation, he came to the living room, walked up to Li Likun and said, "Dad, I just had someone get a few bottles of good wine, 30-year-old Maotai, and sent them to you? Those relatives are supposed to be here in the next two days, so why don't you drink together then?"

Li Likun immediately got angry, "Drink shit! Do they deserve to drink such good wine? If they dare to come, feed them horse urine!"

After he finished speaking, he felt that his voice was a little loud, as if he had disturbed the child in his arms. He quickly became cautious and comforted the child, whispering, "Yuqing, be good, grandpa scared you, grandpa deserves to be beaten, he deserves to be beaten...you beat grandpa..."

He took Li Yuqing's chubby little hand and slapped himself on the face. As he slapped her, his back teeth could be seen at the corners of his cracked mouth.

"What about all my good wine?"

"Send it to your uncle Jiang. Doesn't his family need to do something?"

"Oh, then should we also have a family tree? Open a separate page for you?"

Li Likun rolled his eyes at Li Yang and said, "Our Li family's genealogy is in the hands of Yijun's lineage. Yijun is not much worse than you now. How can you be so shameless?"

What matters in a family tree is orthodoxy. It is really awesome to have a separate page in an orthodox family tree.

Otherwise, every family can make a family tree just for their own amusement, but what’s the point?
Li Yang retorted: "Then if I marry Jiang Banxia, ​​who can compare to me?"

Li Likun: "..."

This guy doesn't look like one of my own at all. How can he be so shameless?

……

On this day, Feng Jianhui was still on vacation, but something big happened to him.

The boss of Xingcheng Supermarket, the richest man in the neighboring county, came over specially to wish him a happy new year.

Even though Feng Jianhui was only a county magistrate, he had to take this big shot who had a lot of say in business seriously and politely invited him in.

Zhao Xingcheng is in his fifties. His Xingcheng supermarkets are spread across more than a dozen nearby counties and urban areas, with a total scale of more than 4 billion yuan and annual revenue of nearly 3 billion yuan.

Over the years, Zhao Xingcheng's family has accumulated a huge amount of wealth, as well as connections in nearby counties and cities.

He is a well-known figure in the city, so naturally he did not feel any psychological pressure when he came to meet Feng Jianhui.

Feng Jianhui smiled and took the initiative to shake hands: "Mr. Zhao, you are a very busy man. I have always wanted to meet you, but I just came here and I am unfamiliar with the place, so I haven't found a chance."

Zhao Xingcheng said, "Leader Feng is too kind. If you have any questions, just come to the company and call me at any time. I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

Feng Jianhui: "No way, the county's economy depends entirely on you. We are also serving entrepreneurs like you, so we must trouble you. By the way, Mr. Zhao must have something to do when he came here today? As long as it's a county matter, everything can be discussed."

Xingcheng Supermarket has a very high status in the county. Every year, it purchases agricultural products worth nearly 10 million yuan and provides nearly 1,000 jobs, which is not a small number.

If something happens to Xingcheng Supermarket, the impact will be huge.

Since Zhao Xingcheng came to me on his own initiative, it must be no small matter.

So he got straight to the point.

Zhao Xingcheng didn't think twice and said directly: "Leader, our Xingcheng Supermarket is ready to withdraw from Jiangcheng. After all, Jiangcheng has Green Water World, and without the soil for our Xingcheng Supermarket to survive, there is no point for us to stay."

Feng Jianhui's heart skipped a beat. "Mr. Zhao, you are too polite. Xingcheng Supermarket is very far away from Lvshui Tiandi, a full two kilometers away. Lvshui Tiandi and Xingcheng Supermarket are not in conflict..."

Zhao Xingcheng smiled and said, "Leader, this year's Xingcheng Supermarket's New Year's turnover is only 30% of previous years. If it continues, the thousands of people in Xingcheng Supermarket will have nothing to lose. I admit that Green Water World is better than us, but this is a county town, not the capital of Beijing. Green Water World would rather lose money to seize the market here, and we, Xingcheng Supermarket, can't compete. After all, in recent years, in order to digest as much of the nearby agricultural products as possible, our Xingcheng Supermarket has basically no profit margin, and often the head office has to pay for it.

We can only say that we have no other options in the current situation. After all, our company does not only have business in Jiangcheng, but tens of thousands of employees depend on the company to survive. We can only say sorry to the leaders. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will announce the closure of business. We will properly handle the relevant membership card business. Even if we are poor, we will not cheat the people's money. "

Feng Jianhui looked at Zhao Xingcheng. Although some of the old man's words were false, such as tens of thousands of employees... Could Xingcheng Supermarket support so many employees?

In Jiangcheng, there are only a few dozen employees directly employed, and the total number of direct and indirect employees is barely close to a thousand.

All in all, the number of employees in Xingcheng Supermarket who pay social security is only more than a thousand in the entire city.

As for those waiters who earn one or two thousand yuan a month, who pays their social security, five insurances and one fund? Basically, they go through the channels of labor service companies and are not formally employed at all.

All the employees who pay social security are relatives of the shareholders of Xingcheng Group, or have exchanged some interests with them.

But even so, at least people can have something to eat.

A salary of one or two thousand is indeed not much, but this is a county town.

After all, Xingcheng Supermarket has to pay millions of taxes every year...

Feng Jianhui said, "Mr. Zhao, if you have any needs, you can tell us. Whether you want a better place or more tax incentives, we can discuss it..."

Zhao Xingcheng didn't think too much about it. There was no need for him to say too many polite words.

"Only one of Green Water World and Xingcheng Supermarket can stay, otherwise everyone will have nothing to eat!"

He did not say that he would take over Green Water World because the construction cost was too high. The cost of more than one billion yuan was simply not something that Xingcheng Group could afford.

Xingcheng Group is not willing to do it even in installments.

What's the point of such a big place? It's nothing but a loss.

In a small county, supermarkets of that size should not exist at all.

Xingcheng Supermarket has been around for many years and knows what scale is most suitable for a small county.

Feng Jianhui was in a difficult situation.

Because... Green Water World belongs to Li Yang.

Jiang Banxia also has shares.

He also didn't understand why Li Yang insisted on creating Green Water World and was willing to make a loss.

The most important point is that there are only a few local people recruited, most of them are from other places.

He couldn't make the decision for Li Yang. This was what Ye Bingcheng had specifically told him before he left.

This is not a easy matter to handle.

Zhao Xingcheng nominally said that only one could be kept, but in reality he wanted him to drive Lu Shui Tian Di away.

"Mr. Zhao, I'll think about this matter. I'll give you a reply before the seventh day of the first lunar month. How about that?"

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

……

Starting from the third year of junior high school, relatives began to visit Li Yang's home one after another.

However, Li Likun's face was always unhappy, and he didn't even invite the other person to his home for dinner. If he really wanted to stay until noon, he would go directly to the restaurant at the entrance of the community and book a table.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, an unexpected guest arrived.

"Mr. Li, Happy New Year!" Feng Jianhui came over with a smile and shook hands with Li Yang.

Li Likun attached great importance to this guest and arranged for him to have lunch at home.

After lunch, when Li Yang was seeing Feng Jianhui off, Feng Jianhui couldn't help but speak, "Boss Li, Xingcheng Supermarket found me and made some requests. I've been struggling and didn't know whether I should tell them. I contacted Brother Ye last night and he asked me to ask for your opinion."

Li Yang asked back: "What's your opinion?"

"Isn't it a waste of talent for Green Water World to be in a small county like Jiangcheng?"

"Oh? I see. I will seriously consider this matter."

"Okay, brother, if you have any problems in the future, remember to contact us at any time. We will definitely give the greatest support to local enterprises."

"Well, leader, take care."

……

After seeing Feng Jianhui off, Li Yang's expression became gloomy.

It’s still a pleasure to get along with Ye Petiole Cheng.

Since Feng Jianhui came to see him today, it meant that he had already made up his mind.

He thinks Xingcheng Supermarket is more important than Green Water World.

Green Water World has indeed not brought very good results to the local area. The main reason is that... Green Water Group has been making losses. They feel that Green Water World is not important and has no meaning to the Green Water Group.

In addition, many projects in Green Water World are free, so citizens enjoy the convenience but do not get paid, which cannot be seen from the numbers.

Nowadays, I don’t know how many families just put their children on the third floor of Green Water World. Only one parent needs to be with them, and there is no need for them to make a fuss at home.

Even slightly older children don’t need to be supervised by their parents, as the Green Water World staff can keep an eye on them. Without an ID card, no one else can take the child away.

Feng Jianhui only had eyes for data and ignored the fact that Green Water World had only been opened for a short time and many things had not yet been rolled out.

Leave? Definitely not.

No one else can do it except him.

Once he leaves, the Green Water World project will become an unfinished project.

There are people who want the residential area, but no one is willing to take it in the commercial area.

That night, he contacted Xiangnu.

Currently, the number of active users of Snap has increased significantly after the launch of the exclusive data card.

From the previous 10 million monthly active users to the current 20 million monthly active users.

Of course, only tens of thousands of data cards were sold. The biggest reason is that domestic data charges have been reduced. At the same time, wifi coverage is wider and broadband usage is higher.

This is the era of short videos...

As the Kuaipai team grew larger, videos began to cover all aspects.

Xiangnu has also started to recruit some up-hosts from Xigua and Bilibili. The list was given by Li Yang.

Some are engaged in sea fishing, some are engaged in breeding, some are engaged in technology, and some are engaged in evaluation.

There are several official operating accounts on Snap, which have the largest traffic.

The first is Kuaipai Assistant, the second is Kuaipai News, and the third is Kuaipai Rumor Debunking.

New registered users will follow these three accounts, and currently they have more than 30 million followers, which means the number of registered users has exceeded this number.

Some people will unfollow after signing up.

Similarly, Douyin, which was officially launched last year, currently has only a few million registered users, less than 10 million.

Even if they have Toutiao and Xigua Video as traffic sources, it is not as good as Li Yang's way of directly forming hundreds of teams.

Those teams are really expensive, costing hundreds of millions a year.

Today’s snapshots are still allowed to skirt the line... and even go quite large.

You can't survive without skirting the rules. You can't let others skirt the rules first, grab the traffic, and then skirt the rules yourself, right?

Kuaipai News updates more than a dozen social news every day. Basically, each piece of news will attract millions of views, and many can even go to Weibo to create many hot topics.

And today, Li Yang provided them with a material.

"A supermarket in a county town was maliciously snatched when distributing red envelopes. After being rejected, the supermarket became angry and embarrassed..."

This kind of topic that expounds on people's bad qualities is most likely to attract other people's attention.

In the video, those customers who queued for dozens of times in a row and became angry and embarrassed after being discovered were filmed. Although the place name was not mentioned, the logo of Green Water World was included in the video... and he could give a "kind" reminder in the comment section.

This video quickly attracted millions of views, and the comment section was in chaos.

Some people say that the region is black, some people say that people are bad, and of course there are also people who say that Lushui Tiandi is too kind...

After fermenting overnight, it successfully landed on Weibo's hot search the next day.

It's like when a truck overturns on the highway and passers-by scramble to grab cabbages.

The place called Jiangcheng began to be known by more and more people.

Some people even found out that Green Water World is the property of Green Water Group and also Li Yang's property.

Li Yang was kind to his fellow villagers, but he unexpectedly was stabbed in the back by them and was fleeced of millions of dollars that day.

Of course, it’s definitely not that much, the overall loss is only about 200,000 or 300,000.

It’s not a loss…

The internet trolls started to lead the discussion, and some even said that they were people sent by Xingcheng Supermarket. The locals all said that Green Water World was good, not only were the products of good quality and low price, but the service was also very good. They would provide after-sales service at any time, and the compensation given when there were problems with the products was also very sincere.

Things fermented all day.

The entire Jiangcheng population is represented by this news.

Whenever you mention on the Internet that you are from Jiangcheng, people will immediately think of this news.

Those who are more subtle will pretend not to see it, while those who are not subtle will directly mock it.

Because of this incident, no one in Jiangcheng's keyboard warriors has been able to win the whole day.

Everyone was furious. Damn it... Am I not of high quality? Can a few bad apples represent Jiangcheng?
Then, the identities of those who were frantically taking advantage of the situation were revealed.

It's an employee of Xingcheng Supermarket...

The people of Jiangcheng began to spontaneously guide public opinion, explaining that this was a commercial war. Because Green Water World had a higher price-performance ratio and better service, it had snatched business from Xingcheng Supermarket, so Xingcheng Supermarket sent its own employees to do this.

There is even a conspiracy theory that Xingcheng Supermarket, relying on its seniority, wants to drive out Green Water World and has already issued an ultimatum to Green Water World, saying that if it does not close, it will take other measures.

Feng Jianhui didn't know about it at first, he didn't have time to read those nonsense on the Internet.

But...someone called him, and it was his leader.

In one word: You are such a disgrace!
Feng Jianhui was very panicked.

Being scolded by your boss personally over the phone means a lot.

This concerns his future.

This kind of thing will be recorded in the little notebook.

He called Ye Bingcheng.

"Brother Ye, I'm really in trouble here."

Ye Bicheng replied: "What's going on?"

"It's like this..." He explained what happened.

After hearing this, Ye Petiole was stunned.

He asked directly, "Did you really go to Li Yang and say that? Wasn't it obvious what I hinted at the beginning?"

"But Green Water World doesn't bring as much profit as Xingcheng Supermarket. Besides, Green Water World has been losing money all the time. Even if it makes money during the New Year, it won't last long. Am I not considering Green Water Group for this?"

Feng Jianhui felt that he had done nothing wrong and it was clearly a win-win situation.

However, Ye Biaocheng sighed, "When will Li Yang do a business that will make him lose money? He has only just started to make plans. Green Water World has such a good foundation, why are you afraid that he will lose money? If you want to save the situation now, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"Give up Xingcheng Supermarket and start investigating Xingcheng Supermarket's accounting problems, looking for evidence of tax evasion. I have been in Jiangcheng for more than a year, and I know very well whether they have any problems."

"This……"

"If you hesitate, Li Yang will continue to attack, and then it will not just be a simple matter of being scolded by the leader..."
