Chapter 3098: Chapter 3100: Business Rules

"What? It was intercepted?"

Xu Wen stood up with a start, "What’s going on?"

"Isn’t there a snack shop in the neighborhood? They’ve rented a warehouse across the street, and our packages were intercepted by the people from Peace Road."

"These people are really shameless, stealing our packages red-handed."

"But across the street is Peace Road’s area, even if we report it, they have a reason."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yi didn’t say anything, feeling that this matter was a bit hard to explain.

Their store is in their area, but the warehouse is in someone else’s area.

Now the people from the Peace Road outlet have taken our packages, and it can make sense.

"It’s indeed a bit shameless," Sun Qiang said:

"We were hoping to push into the top 20, but didn’t expect this to happen."

"Didn’t you ask that snack shop? What did they say?" Xu Wen asked.

"The people from Peace Road gave them a discount of three cents."

"Damn it!" Xu Wen cursed, angrily putting her hands on her hips:

"Isn’t this just the big store bullying the small one?"

"Sigh..."

Sun Qiang sighed, looking helpless, "They’re first every month, able to get lower prices, we can’t compete with them."

"But this was clearly our order, and just because they rented a warehouse across the street, they steal our business." Xu Wen said angrily:

"Sun, you watch the store first, Lin Yi and I will go take a look."

"Okay."

Lin Yi didn’t hesitate, following Xu Wen into the car heading towards the Peace Road outlet.

In fact, Lin Yi didn’t agree with Xu Wen doing this, because it was pointless.

Business issues can’t be solved by shouting.

But as her employee, he naturally had to go and see.

Since it wasn’t far, it only took a few minutes by car.

Parking by the roadside, Lin Yi took a glance at the entrance of the Peace Road outlet.

The collected packages were piled high like a small mountain, and four or five couriers were busily working nonstop.

In terms of scale, there’s no way to compete with them.

"Let’s go, go down and take a look."

Meanwhile, inside the Peace Road outlet, two female employees were busy scanning and updating package information.

Sitting at the desk was a big, potbellied man.

Not too old, around in his 30s, with tattoos all over one arm, smoking a cigarette and playing mobile games.

The man’s name is Li Qingdong, the owner of this courier outlet.

Known for his unscrupulous methods, coupled with having someone backing him in the district, his business has been thriving, easily earning half a million to six hundred thousand a year.

"Dong Bro, what if they come after us for taking over 80 packages?"

One of the female employees responsible for scanning said.

"Let them come. Am I supposed to be afraid of her?" Li Qingdong said indifferently, cigarette in mouth.

"But the problem is, we’re not in the right here."

"How are we not in the right? I didn’t go to their area to steal business, the warehouse side is in our area, pulling the business here doesn’t break the rules."

"Little Juan, stop worrying about it. The more packages there are, the more we earn. What’s not to like?"

Speaking was another female employee, a bit older, who had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Li Qingdong, known to everyone in the store.

Both of them had families, but they played loose.

"Of course it’s good, but I’m worried it might be awkward if they come looking."

"You can tell you’re young. These days, as long as there’s money to be made, nothing else matters. Just stop worrying.

"Got it, Sis Wang."

Creak——

At this moment, the door to the outlet was pushed open.

"What’s your problem, blatantly stealing business from our area? This is too much."

Seeing Xu Wen barging in, everyone inside looked at her and Lin Yi.

Li Qingdong extinguished his cigarette and smiled:

"Why the big fuss? Come in for a cup of tea to cool down."

"Li Qingdong, stop with the useless talk. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, it won’t end well for us."

Xu Wen, also tough and assertive, argued based on reason.

"When did I steal your business? Don’t make things up."

"Weren’t the over 80 packages from the snack shop taken by you? Stop pretending."

"Yes, we took them, but they were in our area, so there’s no issue with us collecting them, right?"

"What do you mean your area? Just because you rented a warehouse across the street, it’s your area?"

"Doesn’t it count?" Li Qingdong shrugged and said:

"But I understand how you feel. If you really want to discuss this, let’s meet up for a drink tonight and properly talk this over, there’s room for negotiation."

"Stop with the useless talk," Xu Wen said:

"If you don’t give me an explanation today, I will definitely report this to the district."

"If you say so, I can’t do anything about it. I’m following the rules, report all you want."

Xu Wen gnashed her teeth in anger, her chest heaving.

"Don’t think just because your prices are low, you can disregard others."

"So what if I’m arrogant? I’ve got the grounds to be," Li Qingdong said dismissively:

"Handling over 3,000 packages a day allows me to get the lowest prices, if you think you can do it, increase your volume, no need to say these things to me."

"You..."

"Alright, Sister Wen, no need to say more to him."

Seeing Lin Yi speaking, Li Qingdong looked at him with interest.

"Not bad, haven’t seen you in a few days and you’ve found a young man."

There was a sneer in Li Qingdong’s eyes.

"Let me give you some advice, with this amount of effort, better put it towards increasing your business and stop with the nonsense."

"Speak nicely, don’t think everyone’s as shameless as you."

"Say what you want, this deal is mine," Li Qingdong said arrogantly.

"Just you wait."

Xu Wen said angrily, turning to leave, with Lin Yi following her into the car.

"Cool down, you can’t argue your way out of this kind of thing."

"But they’re bullying people too much."

"That’s how business competition is, these people exploit any opportunity, immediately coming like flies."

"I understand your point, but I still can’t swallow this."

"But using this method won’t solve the problem, work harder, secure more deals and you can make up for it."

"Easy for you to say, but getting deals isn’t as simple as you make it sound," Xu Wen said:

"Even the 300+ order deal you signed had elements of luck, it’s not something you can consistently have."

"Leave it to me, I’ll figure something out."
