Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

After all, to cover the entire northern market in just half a month, this speed is beyond words, it is simply astonishing.

As the saying goes, more haste makes waste. If we expand in such a hasty way without a solid foundation, we will soon face the risk of collapse.

Even if you have strong financial resources, you cannot act so rashly.

However, the very next day, his mind changed completely.

Eight new branches in Xilin were unveiled simultaneously, and a rather creative promotion was launched, a cash back game.

This sounds quite conventional, but Xilin’s way of playing is unique: a football net is set up in front of each store, with small signs with different amounts of money hung on the net, and customers can win rewards by kicking the ball.

What is even more surprising is that these cards are arranged to form a huge "dragon" pattern, and the most tempting grand prize of 588 yuan is located exactly at the starting point of the stroke of the "dragon" character.

This design not only cleverly attracted the public's attention, but also carried strong symbolic meaning. It was obviously an open challenge to Hualong Company.

What’s even more ridiculous is that this activity is jokingly called “kicking dragon eggs” by outsiders.

This name is both vivid and provocative, which has left a deep impression on everyone while also triggering countless speculations about its deeper meaning.

When Qiao Xueying reported this to Zhou Qi with a red face, she expressed her opinion in anger: "It's really despicable. I have never seen such a mean behavior..."

Faced with such direct and insulting behavior from a competitor, even someone as knowledgeable as Zhou Qi couldn't help but feel amused.

Having been in business for many years, it is rare to find such a strategy that hits the nail on the head and does not conceal the hostility.

"Keep calm and do what we are supposed to do," he responded calmly.

Qiao Xueying's cheeks flushed with anger, and she asked Zhou Qi, "Boss Zhou, aren't you angry at all?"

Zhou Qi responded calmly: "It's okay."

"How can this be considered okay?" Qiao Xuying almost shouted, "Xi Lin is simply a blatant provocation to Hualong this time. I think we should take legal action against her."

"What do you want to sue?" Zhou Qi asked calmly.

"Of course, we're suing Xilin for the event." Qiao Xueying said angrily, "That content is definitely not suitable for children."

After hearing this, Zhou Qi couldn't help laughing. He understood that Qiao Xuying was a little incoherent because she was too angry.

"What evidence do we have?" Zhou Qi asked back, "Xilin's activities did not directly promote these inappropriate contents. Those are all rumors. Even if someone spread the rumors, she can deny them. Doing so may actually give her free advertising."

Although Qiao Xueying knew this, she was still angry. "Why don't we plan an event to fight back? For example, hang up a sign with the word '美' in it, and replace the horizontal line in the middle with two balloons, and shoot them with darts, symbolizing..."

When she said this, her face turned slightly red and her voice lowered.

If it were before, she would never say such a thing. But after getting to know Zhou Qi better over this period of time, she became much bolder.

Zhou Qi was amused by her suggestion and asked curiously, "Are you serious?"

"I just can't swallow this." Qiao Xuying muttered.

"I understand your feelings, but we don't need to respond in this way." Zhou Qi smiled gently and said, "There is a saying that goes, the more arrogant a person is, the worse his fate will be. What we need to do is wait and see."

Qiao Xueying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "So, you already have a solution?"

As the general manager of Hualong, Qiao Xueying has the right to know the company's major decisions.

Zhou Qi did not hide anything and briefly briefed her on his plan to fully develop the northern market.

"Completed within half a month? All directly-operated stores?" Qiao Xuying was shocked. "Are you kidding me? With such a huge investment, plus the subsequent product and operating costs, the financial pressure will be too great."

"You don't have to worry about funding." Zhou Qi said confidently.

Qiao Xueying was stunned by Zhou Qi's generosity. From the previous competition with Huaning to the current rapid expansion, he had spent nearly 200 million yuan.

According to her estimation, the money Zhou Qi earned through stocks and other means was probably only around 200 to 300 million.

I originally thought that the strategy against Xilin would be more conservative, but now it seems that is not the case.

Directly opening up the northern market would mean at least hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

But from Zhou Qi's words, it seemed that the funds he had prepared were far more than that.

How many cards does this guy have that he hasn't revealed yet?

In the face of such endless wealth, it seems like a deep abyss that makes it difficult to see the full picture.

However, during this period of acquaintance, she had a deeper understanding of Zhou Qi and realized that he always acted after careful consideration and never acted rashly.

In addition, she also learned about the cooperation with Teng Ao Shipping. Although she did not ask much, she already had an idea in her mind that all this might be related to the beautiful lady Du Qianqian.

Funding will obviously not be an obstacle.

In this case, there is no need to worry too much.

The two chatted about some trivial work matters and then ended the call.

"Brother Qi, let's go now." Zhang Gongzheng said with a sullen look on his face, his tone revealing impatience, "That Xilin really makes me so angry, I wish I could teach her a lesson right away."

Just now, Zhang Gongzheng convened a meeting with a group of key members who were about to go to the front line and shared some valuable experiences.

When he heard about the activities planned by Xilin, a surge of anger surged in his heart, and he wished he could immediately capture the other party's boss and teach him a lesson.

Zhou Qi just nodded slightly and personally saw the team off to the factory gate.

Looking at them carrying their bags and getting ready to go, he smiled and encouraged them: "You have completed the task well, and you will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan."

As for the result of not meeting the standard, although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew it very well. This was not only a test, but also a test of their abilities.

"Mr. Zhou, please rest assured. We will try our best and give 200% effort." Someone said firmly.

To maintain Hualong's face is to protect their dignity.

Looking at the passion burning in everyone's eyes, all words seem redundant.

At the same time, Ma Yuancai also set out from Chunshi with his team, and everyone took on the responsibility of their respective cities.

From today on, they are like seeds sown in major cities in the north, ready to bloom into the most splendid flowers.

As the "Kicking Dragon Eggs" operation initiated by Xilin was widely reported by the media, the public's attention was once again drawn to this business war.
