Fang Zhiqiang was stunned, looked at Li Xiaoxiao with some surprise, and asked: "You...you heard everything?"

"What do you think?" Li Xiaoxiao said unhappily.

"Well, just listen to what you heard. What I said is the truth." Fang Zhiqiang was silent for a while and then said.

"Qiangzi, why can't you be braver? Is it so difficult to talk about love and pursue love?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

"This has nothing to do with whether you are brave or not, because I don't want to talk about love now."

"Then do you love me?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

Fang Zhiqiang looked at Li Xiaoxiao, then gritted his teeth and said: "I don't love you."

The two of them walked together and never spoke again until Fang Zhiqiang I drove the car all the way to Shanghai and drove the car downstairs to my house.

After Fang Zhiqiang parked the car, Li Xiaoxiao got out of the car, picked up his suitcase from the trunk, and said to Fang Zhiqiang, who also got out of the car, "I'm leaving."

“Well, okay, drive slowly.” Fang Zhiqiang nodded.

"Qiangzi, if I were like you, with the same family background, would you choose me? Will you be brave enough to accept me, pursue me and love me?" Li Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Fang Zhiqiang .

Fang Zhiqiang opened his mouth but did not say anything, and then said: "There are not so many ifs in life. I will go up first."

Fang Zhiqiang said, He picked up his luggage from the trunk and walked directly upstairs, leaving Li Xiaoxiao standing there alone and staring at Fang Zhiqiang.

After Fang Zhiqiang returned home, he took a shower and fell directly on the bed and fell asleep. He was too tired.

I slept until night and didn’t even eat dinner.

Early the next morning, Fang Zhiqiang was already hungry when he woke up.

Fang Zhiqiang woke up very early, to be precise, he woke up from hunger. After Fang Zhiqiang woke up, he washed up and went out, had breakfast outside, and then went to the company. During this period of this year, he has been away from the company a lot. Fortunately, the company is supported by Liu Yan, Nie Qian and Chen Qinghe, so basically the company is doing well.

Fang Zhiqiang came into the company, and soon Liu Yan and Nie Qian walked into Fang Zhiqiang’s office.

"You came back yesterday afternoon?" Liu Yan asked Fang Zhiqiang.

"Well, yes, I came back yesterday afternoon. How did you know?"

"Xiaoxiao told me, she told me that she went back to your house with you, You move very fast." Liu Yan teased Fang Zhiqiang.

"Don't talk nonsense there. It was because she was insisting on coming with me. I had no choice but to agree."

What a joke. Where is your dad? How is it?"

"There is no big problem. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with rheumatism. However, the pain is a bit severe and it is inconvenient to move. It will have some impact on my life. I'll prescribe medicine and take it for a while to see if it has any effect. If it doesn't work, I'll think of a way to contact a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Shanghai to prescribe some medicine and send it back to him." Fang Zhiqiang sighed. Said.

At this moment, Chen Qinghe also walked in.

"Okay, the three of you are here, let's start the meeting. Chen Qinghe, please tell me about the new situation you mentioned. What is going on?" Fang Zhi Qiang asked directly.

Chen Qinghe nodded and said: "The new situation is that just a few days ago, a new company was opened in the North District. This company is the one I reported to you before. Yes, it’s that Huiyi Fresh Food Supermarket.”

“They also established a company?” Fang Zhiqiang was a little surprised.

"Yes, and it is said that they have found an investor. The investor invested three million, plus their own company, I think they should have five million available funds. About." Chen Qinghe analyzed.

"Is that so... how many stores do they have now?" Fang Zhiqiang asked with a frown.

“There are three stores now, and they are planning now. Judging from their actions, it is obvious that they will open four or five stores at once. Their company is recruiting people, and the company’s management model and operation model are basically the same as We are the same." Chen Qinghe reported.

"This person is so shameless. He just saw us making money in this business, and then he opened a store with us, which is exactly the same as ours. Then he made money and opened a chain store, and now he has established a company. They are basically copying us and now they are stealing our business." Liu Yan was a little angry.

"When doing business, the market belongs to everyone. Whoever grabs it belongs to whoever it is. If you don’t say it, it must belong to someone else. You can’t blame others. This situation seems a bit serious. Our competition is Here we come." Fang Zhiqiang said, lighting a cigarette.

“Not only that, we did a survey. At the beginning of our company’s establishment, there were 43 fresh food stores in Shanghai. Most of them were small stores, selling only fruits and vegetables. , there is no one with the same comprehensive business model as ours. But now, in addition to ourselves, there are 142 fresh food stores in Shanghai, including stores with the same large-scale sales model as ours. There are already thirty-seven, and the number is still growing rapidly." Chen Qinghe continued.Report.

　“Well, this is following the trend. If you make money, then many people will follow suit.”

　“We said at the beginning of the year that we would open the 25th However, up to now, five of the twenty-five store locations we originally had our eye on have already been occupied by others, and fresh food stores have been opened, leaving us with only twenty. , we have already opened seven locations, and are now planning the eighth and nine locations. In other words, we still have eleven locations left. Mr. Fang, I think we need to speed up and ensure that the remaining ten locations are opened. One location should be opened as soon as possible. If it were any slower, we might not be left with two companies. As for Huiyi, they are now making drastic preparations. They also operate in a corporate manner and conduct professional market research. , as long as this is the case, then the ideal store location researched will definitely coincide with ours, and they have sufficient funds. If we don’t speed up, we will have to watch them do it. These are the best locations. , except for these dozen locations, none of them are ideal locations, at least not our first choice, and we may really be running out of opportunities and time." Chen Qinghe said nervously.

After listening to Chen Qinghe’s words, Fang Zhiqiang fell into deep thought. He had thought about this day, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. In fact, this market is very big. If you think about it, you will know how huge the dining table market is. However, after being divided by the traditional vegetable market and supermarket, the market left to Fang Zhiqiang and the others is actually not too big. This is why in such a big Shanghai, Fang Zhiqiang and the others can only choose thirty or forty optimal locations. And now, such a large market has begun to have fierce competition, which puts a lot of pressure on Fang Zhiqiang and the others.
