Chapter 172: Immediate Effect

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Immediate Effect

"Give them money! Send out those crisp, red bills!"

"For every item they buy, we give them a red bill. Or, based on how much they spend, we give them a certain amount in cash."

"Who’s going to say no to free money?"

"I can’t deny that the women Jiang Fan found have great figures, and their looks are top-notch. Dressed like that, they’re very eye-catching."

"But when faced with a choice between beauty and money, everyone knows what they’d pick!"

At this, the vice president let out a cold laugh.

Hearing this, Li Fengming fell into deep thought.

’This method might just work.’

"Does anyone else have any other ideas?"

He looked around at the others, but everyone who met his gaze quickly lowered their heads.

"Alright, we’ll go with your method. But you need to keep a close eye on the costs."

"The moment we’ve captured the market and made it impossible for Xuerong’s shop to survive, we stop immediately."

Li Fengming didn’t want to lose too much over this, especially after already wasting a lot of money on useless expenses.

As a result, this event and the store opening had cost more than double what was usual.

Most importantly, it was falling far short of his expectations.

What he wanted was to crush them, to mock them, to stand tall above them!

To look down on everything Yin Ruxue had!

At that moment, his hatred for Jiang Fan reached an all-time high.

If he didn’t know how terrifyingly strong the man was, he would have already hired people to break his legs and dump him outside a hospital.

「The next day」

Jiang Fan slept until the afternoon, woken by a piercing ringtone.

Seeing the time, he leaped straight out of bed.

When he arrived, he found everyone’s spirits were low.

He was a little curious seeing their expressions. "What happened? Why is everyone so down in the dumps?"

"Boss, haven’t you noticed something’s off today? Our customer traffic has dropped so much."

"Less traffic? Why?"

Having just arrived, Jiang Fan didn’t understand what was going on.

"Because over there, they’re giving cash rebates on lingerie purchases based on the product’s price."

"Plus, that model really does have a lot of fans, and her style is very international, chic, and daring."

"So they’ve drawn a lot of customers to their store."

Spring Grass said, her voice dejected.

"Cash rewards?"

Jiang Fan stroked his chin, watching the shop across the street bustling with people.

"Who wants to go over and take a look with me?"

"Me, me, me! I’ll go, I’ll go."

Spring Grass immediately raised her hand.

"Alright. You guys hold down the fort here. We’re going to go take a look."

Jiang Fan and Spring Grass quickly made their way into the Fengming Group’s store.

Their arrival drew everyone’s attention.

Many people knew the two shops were in a fierce, unspoken competition. Were they bringing the fight right to the enemy’s doorstep now??

"What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to take a look? Or are you planning on throwing customers out?"

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on Li Fengming, who was sitting inside.

"Of course you’re allowed. We at Fengming Group are open for business. No matter what kind of customer comes in, they’ll be able to find a style that suits them here."

Li Fengming stood up and replied forcefully.

But Jiang Fan paid him no mind. After a quick look around, he scoffed with disdain, "This is it?"

With that, he turned and left with Spring Grass.

Inside, however, his heart was heavy. ’What a vicious move, cutting the ground from right under our feet.’

Faced with the temptation of a spectacle versus money, the vast majority of people would choose money.

Putting himself in their shoes, if he were buying something and two stores had such different promotions, he would definitely choose the one with the money!

A person can’t just throw away money for the sake of pride, right?

Now, the other side had made their move. If he couldn’t solve this quickly, Xuerong would be facing a total defeat.

As if sensing the pressure on Jiang Fan’s mind, Spring Grass took his hand.

"Let’s go. We’ll face our problems as they come."

"There has to be a way. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself."

A sweet smile appeared on Spring Grass’s face.

Jiang Fan turned to look at her and sighed softly.

"It’s fine. You head back first. I’ll think of something."

Right now, there were only two paths. One was to admit defeat.

The other was to do the same as Fengming Group and just throw a crazy amount of money at the problem.

But Xuerong’s funds were nowhere near as plentiful as Fengming Group’s. On top of that, their rival had the boss on-site, able to change tactics easily and at will.

The project he was running on his end wasn’t nearly as flexible.

For the rest of the day, right up until closing time, Xuerong’s customer traffic was continuously siphoned away, while Fengming Group’s steadily grew.

By the end, one store was bustling and packed with customers, while the other was deserted and quiet. The contrast was stark.

After the shop closed, Jiang Fan paid all the girls their day’s wages. Once they had left, he sat alone at the entrance.

Watching him from a distance, Li Fengming’s face was filled with mockery.

"Useless trash! You think you can fight me with just that? I could crush you to death with money alone."

Li Fengming was smug and triumphant, wishing he could go back right then and give that vice president a promotion and a raise.

The effect was immediate!

There was just one downside. Why hadn’t he brought this idea up sooner? If he had, they wouldn’t have needed to spend over a million to hire that international supermodel.

"Fine!"

Jiang Fan suddenly stood up.

"You don’t want me to have it easy? Then the game’s over for everyone!"

In that moment, he was ready to flip the table.

He hadn’t forgotten the trump card he was still holding.

It was just that he hadn’t wanted to use it. Without concrete proof, it would be easy for people to dismiss it as a baseless accusation.

After all, customers believed in evidence.

That’s why Jiang Fan hadn’t wanted to expose the matter until he had an official certificate of inspection from the state.

’Since you’re the one who broke the rules by desperately throwing money around, don’t blame me for what comes next.’
