Chapter 107 Because you're stupid
"Brother Dao, since you acknowledge me as your boss, then get all your former underlings up. Let's get down to business."
"Okay." After hearing Zhang Dong say that, Brother Dao readily agreed.
"Did you hear that? Our boss told you to get up. Get up right now."
Looking at his former underlings, they were all covered in dust and dirt, getting up from the ground. Some of them had their heads down and didn't dare to look at Brother Dao and Zhang Dong.
Even the sea tyrant drooped his big head.
"Hahaha--"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Zhang Dong burst into laughter again.
"Now, can we have a proper talk?"
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Hai Bawang quickly nodded and bowed.
"Brother, of course you can, please have a seat—"
Zhang Dong didn't stand on ceremony and sat down casually.
"Hey Hai Ba Wang, we're all in business, it's really unfair of you to target our restaurant like this."
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Hai Bawang, who was standing next to him, broke out in a cold sweat.
He never expected that Zhang Dong would know his elder brother, Brother Dao.
“Brother Zhang Dong, it’s all my fault. Your business was booming before, and I felt that it was taking away our restaurant’s business space. I was a little angry, so I came up with this idea.”
"I'm an idiot, I shouldn't have done that. I'm going to tell those market vendors right now to stop targeting you..."
Seeing that the other party had backed down, Zhang Dong nodded.
"It's good that you realized your mistake, but I'm really curious, how could my popular restaurant really affect your business?"
"You should know that my restaurant caters to the common people, while your Sihai Manor caters to the luxury market, right?"
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's question, Hai Ba Wang looked embarrassed.
“Brother Zhang Dong, this is just a pretext. Of course, your restaurant is so popular that it has indeed taken away business from other restaurants.”
"I only dealt with you because everyone advised me to. It's not that your Great Wall Hotel squeezed out our Sihai Villa's business."
Zhang Dong understood what the other party meant.
"From what you're saying, other restaurants have a lot of complaints about how popular our business is?"
"Then you should find a way to attract your own customers. What kind of ability is it to try to drive us out of business like this?"
Hai Bawang looked embarrassed: "Brother Zhang Dong, if they really had that kind of ability, they wouldn't have encouraged me to do this..."
"Haha, that's true." Zhang Dong nodded.
"Since that's the case, I'll give them a suggestion."
"What? Brother Zhang Dong, you have another way to solve the other restaurants' predicament?"
Seeing the Sea King's doubt, Zhang Dong nodded firmly: "That's right."
"Oh, that's great. These people have no other skills, but seeing that your restaurant is doing well, they've been urging me to come and deal with you."
"I never expected Brother Zhang Dong to be so righteous, not holding a grudge at all, and even giving them advice. I thank you on their behalf."
Seeing that Hai Ba Wang spoke these words sincerely, Hai Ge next to him nodded.
“You’re right, kid. If I hadn’t seen how loyal Brother Zhang Dong is, I wouldn’t have followed him.”
Upon hearing his elder brother speak, Hai Ba Wang nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, brother. I could tell from the beginning that Brother Zhang Dong is a man who is destined for great things, and he is also very loyal."
"Take the scene I just set up, for example. Everyone was fearless. Who else has such audacity as him?"
Upon hearing what Hai Ba Wang said, Dao Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, do you think my brother Zhang Dong is someone who can be intimidated? You're sorely mistaken."
"Brother, I was indeed wrong. I sincerely apologize to you and Brother Zhang Dong."
Upon hearing his brother say that, Brother Dao snorted coldly.
"I only forgave you because of our past brotherhood. If anyone else dares to mess with my brother Zhang Dong, don't blame me for being ruthless with my knife."
"Oh brother, it was all a misunderstanding before. Now I realize it was a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple."
"Don't worry, even if Zhang Dong doesn't come up with a solution for us, we wouldn't dare to provoke him again," Hai Bawang quickly assured him.
Brother Dao nodded.
“In that case, listen to my brother. He’s my boss now. If you don’t listen to me, it will put me in a difficult position.”
"If the boss gets angry and fires me again, won't I become unemployed?"
Dao Ge's words made everyone burst into laughter.
At this point, Hai Ba Wang dared not provoke Zhang Dong anymore, and his tone towards him was extremely respectful.
"Brother Zhang Dong, I apologize to you again. Also, regarding your idea of increasing the competitiveness of other restaurants, I wonder what exactly that idea is?"
Hearing Hai Bawang's eager inquiry, Zhang Dong then shared his thoughts.
"This was just a thought that suddenly came to me."
"That means all our hotels could form an alliance, or a hotel association, and elect dedicated personnel to manage this alliance."
"Once you join the alliance, you can share information and resources with each other."
"The biggest advantage of this alliance is that it allows different restaurants to develop their own business models and signature dishes based on their own characteristics, thus preventing low-level imitation."
“Every restaurant has its own unique features, so people won’t blindly follow the trend.”
"This leads to a situation where if I have braised eggplant, you will follow suit and launch a similar dish, creating vicious competition. This is extremely detrimental to the entire catering environment and is completely unnecessary."
"The purpose of forming the alliance is to adapt to local conditions and develop the unique characteristics and signature dishes of each restaurant."
"This will prevent vicious competition, and diners will be diverted to different restaurants..."
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's thoughts, Hai Ba Wang, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
Coming to his senses, he clapped his hands excitedly.
"Hey Zhang Dong, I'm really curious, what exactly is your head made of?"
"How come you can easily provide a solution to such a complex problem? Take this diversion issue, for example, why couldn't we have thought of it?"
Seeing Hai Ba Wang's heartfelt praise, Dao Ge smiled.
"Because you're stupid."
Dao Ge's words made everyone burst into laughter again.
"Haha, Brother Zhang Dong, next I'll call the owners of other restaurants over. How about we start an association today?"
Seeing how anxious Hai Bawang was, Zhang Dong nodded.
"Okay, then call all these bosses over."
