"I heard yeah! I heard it tastes more than ten times better than 'Yongqiang Brand'! But it's useless, since 'Xiaobei Brand' is in Lake Heart City, distant water can't quench a nearby thirst, right? Are we supposed to run hundreds of kilometers every time we need to buy groceries?"

"Indeed, distance is a major issue! If 'Xiaobei Brand' could make it here, then I definitely wouldn't buy this damn 'Yongqiang Brand' anymore, I..."

Before she could finish, this woman suddenly stood there, dumbfounded, staring at a store not far away...

Others noticed this and turned their heads too, and in an instant, they all widened their eyes...

"Is... is my eyesight failing me? This is actually a 'Xiaobei Brand' specialty store."

"Yeah! Let's go check it out!"

"Alright!"

As they talked, they quickly walked inside...

This scene occurred at the entrances of all the newly opened 'Xiaobei Brand' branches in other cities.

...

At the 'Yongqiang Brand' headquarters, many employees gathered around the office, delightfully looking at the latest financial statements.

At that moment, one of them pushed up his glasses and excitedly started, "Haha, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although we were slightly affected by Hu Xiaobei, that little trash, previously, now that we've adopted a price increase policy, we've recovered. And we are doing even better than before!"

"Exactly! That Hu Xiaobei is just a damn peasant, he could never beat us."

"Right."

Looking at the new financial statement, everyone laughed wildly with excitement...

Although now, near Lake Heart City, many stores were still performing poorly, the crazy price increases in other places had compensated for this gap, making the overall financial statement look exceptionally good!

Previously, after Hu Xiaobei completely took over the market in Lake Heart City, they were worried he would aggressively expand.

But now, they were certain they needn't worry, as it seemed Hu Xiaobei had no intention of expanding.

At first, they found it unbelievable, but after giving it some thought, they felt it made sense!

They knew that Hu Xiaobei was just a farmer who lucked out.

He simply lacked a broad vision or any real plan, so just the Lake Heart City market was enough to keep him happily busy.

"Alright, this statement is very good, everyone keep up the good work! As for Hu Xiaobei, he definitely can't expand, so as long as we keep fortifying the market in other cities, even if we cede Lake Heart City to him, it won't matter."

"Exactly!"

"It won't affect us at all."

While they were talking, one of them suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, previously Chairman Lin went to negotiate a buyout with the person in charge of 'Xiaobei Brand', maybe it's already successful! Maybe 'Xiaobei Brand' will soon be ours!"

"Maybe? I think it will definitely succeed."

"Yeah, I think so too!"

They were currently all very confident in Lin Yongqiang, as they believed neither Hu Xiaobei nor Guo Meiyu had seen much money. So Lin Yongqiang just needed to throw out an impressively large number to make them happily hand over the company...

...

While they were joyfully chatting, one of their cell phones rang.

"It might be Chairman Lin responding with good news."

As they spoke, the person quickly took out their phone.

Everyone at that moment stared intently at him!

He glanced at the number, slightly frowned, "It's not Chairman Lin, it's one of my subordinates. He's in charge of the market in An County, he usually doesn't call, so this call must be good news."

So saying, he placed the phone on the table and quickly hit the speakerphone.

Then he went straight to the point, "Hey, Tong, how's it going? Is the market reaction in An County quite good recently?"

An County was far from Lake Heart City, so Hu Xiaobei's 'Xiaobei Brand' could not possibly reach there for several years, so he believed the market there definitely wouldn't be a problem.

"It's terrible, there's big trouble!"

Hearing such an urgent response, he frowned slightly and said, "What? Has the sky fallen?"

"Yes! It's like the sky has fallen! A store opened right across from me, initially I didn't care, but today they hung up a sign."

Hearing such a panicked beginning, he disdainfully said, "What store is it? It can't possibly be a 'Xiaobei Brand' fruit and vegetable specialty store."

"Yes! It is a 'Xiaobei Brand' fruit specialty store, and they have already started stocking up."

Hearing the response from the receiver, he was stunned for a second, then shouted, "What? Are you joking with me? Your place is almost a thousand miles from Lake Heart City, how has his store reached your area?"

Unbelievable!

This man couldn't believe it.

In his shock, he heard the gloomy response, "I know you don't believe it, but it's true! They just started giving out free advertisements, and now there are nearly a hundred people lining up. I predict it won't even take a day before 'Xiaobei Brand' makes its mark here, now what should we do?"

"I... I don't have any good solutions right now, just wait, I'll discuss it and then notify you."

After hanging up the phone, his expression grew grim as he looked at the others.

He found that everyone else was just as shocked as he was.

The man with the glasses quickly regained his composure and rasped, "What on earth does Hu Xiaobei want to do? Does he really plan to confront us openly?"

Hearing this question, everyone else also snapped back to reality!

Quickly, they all furrowed their brows!

Seeing them at a loss for words, he continued, "Moreover, when did Hu Xiaobei start renovating a store in An County, why don't we know anything about it!"

As they spoke, they felt humiliated.

Previously, they were here belittling Hu Xiaobei, and before they even finished despising him, Hu Xiaobei had wildly slapped their faces.

"Don't look so troubled, this might just be a coincidence, maybe Hu Xiaobei is just trying to scare us with this store, if we really get scared, then it's just..."

Before he could finish, another person's phone rang...

In an instant, everyone looked at that phone...

Staring at it, he got a bit nervous, glanced at the phone screen, and then hoarsely said, "It's... it's our person in Sifan City..."

While talking, he answered the call...

Very soon, everyone looked even more troubled.

Because the person in Sifan City indicated that Hu Xiaobei's fruit and vegetable specialty store had also reached Sifan City…
