Chapter 88 Gaining both fame and fortune
Wan Yinchang summoned members of the city’s restaurants, wine shops and other guilds.
He announced in public that he would be the leader of the line and gave up his talents to Wei Yi.
The news surprised the shopkeepers.
Although they expected that such a day might come, many people even looked forward to such a day.
But I didn't expect it to come so quickly and suddenly.
Wan Yinchang, who was domineering, bullying his peers, monopolizing industries, and doing all kinds of evil, finally fell.
They don't know exactly what happened.
But it can be seen that he was completely defeated this time, otherwise he would never have given up his position at the head of the line so happily.
Of course, everyone except Wan Yinchang himself was extremely depressed.
The rest of the people were filled with joy.
Even the restaurant owner who had colluded with him before breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they all know that after Wei Yi comes to power, the situation in various industries will never be worse than before.
Even if Xiangmanlou is still the most popular restaurant in the city, it will be beyond their reach.
But at least it will give them some chance to compete fairly.
Unlike before, everything depends on Wanjia's looks, likes and dislikes.
With the money earned every year, he has to give large gifts to Wanjia in order to keep the business next year.
Wan Yinchang is like a vampire, constantly sucking and squeezing their money.
Wei Yi's reputation in various hardware handicraft industries can be said to be very good.
The various industries under his management are also visibly more prosperous than before.
He never bullies shopkeepers and provides a relatively fair competitive environment among his peers.
It has truly fulfilled the original intention of establishing the guild, to help each other and join the group for warmth.
Moreover, Wei Yi would never squeeze his colleagues or force them to give gifts or money.
So all the shopkeepers knew it well, and now Wei Yi became the leader.
Then they are equivalent to getting rid of Wanjia's control.
No longer needing to be controlled by Wanjia, there is even a chance to sell Lansheng wine.
In this way, their business should be better than now.
After announcing his resignation, Wan Yinchang sat aside with a gloomy face and stopped talking.
He didn't dare to say anything, after all, Zhao Hanqing was in the private room next door.
And transferring the top spot is just the beginning.
What really made him feel pain was his identity as the head of the catering industry.
As long as the documents from the Ministry of Household Affairs are issued, Meng Shuilian will replace him as the head of the store.
After all, according to regulations, Wei Yi is already the head of the hardware and handicraft industry and can no longer be the head of the catering industry.
After a long time, when all the shopkeepers left Wanjia Restaurant, they were all smiling and in a happy mood.
It felt like the haze that had enveloped my heart suddenly lifted.
However, the haze in Wan Yinchang's heart may never be lifted.
After all the shopkeepers left, Wan Yinchang took out many contracts and house deeds and handed them over to Wei Yi.
These restaurants include a total of three restaurants, five wine shops and two breweries.
Moreover, one of the restaurants is the former site of Xiangmanlou, where the Meng family dream began.
It is also the knot that the Meng family cannot let go of.
So, when Wei Yi returned to the restaurant and told Meng Shuilian the good news in the accounting room.
Meng Shuilian hugged Wei Yi excitedly, her eyes filled with tears and she couldn't help herself.
She was really happy and excited.
Because she felt that all the shame and sorrow that the Meng family suffered back then seemed to be comforted at this moment.
And all this is because of Wei Yi's help and because of his presence.
So Meng Shuilian really didn't know how to repay Wei Yi's kindness.
I'm afraid that even if I promise you my life, even acting like an ox or a horse won't be enough to repay me.
"Thank you, Wei Yi, thank you!" Meng Shuilian hugged Wei Yi and cried with joy.
"All the suffering is over, and all that's left is beauty!" Wei Yi said, stroking Meng Shuilian's back. ...
In the next few days, Wei Yi and Guo Pixiu started busy taking over the restaurants, wine shops and breweries transferred from Wanjia.
The wine shop changed its sign, changed the drinks it sold, and continued to operate.
The restaurant is temporarily closed.
It needs to be renovated briefly, chefs trained, and staff adjusted before it can be reopened.
Wei Yi is not in a hurry, after all, he is not short of money at the moment.
Moreover, the production capacity of wine has not been increased yet, and even if the restaurant opens, it will not be able to supply it.
Therefore, he and Guo Pixiu focused their main energy on improving the brewery and increasing the wine production capacity.
Wei Yi completely transformed the original Lansheng winery into a winery specialized in brewing Lanling wine.
The two breweries taken over from Wanjia will all be used to produce Lansheng wine in the future.
He also "upgraded" the brewing equipment and wine storage equipment to shorten the brewing cycle.
The brewing process has also been optimized and adjusted, including blending, aroma stringing and other methods.
to further enhance the taste and quality of the two drinks.
Since Wei Yi became the leader of the line, the female relatives of the shopkeepers of various restaurants, restaurants, teahouses and wine shops in the city have almost leveled the threshold of the Wei family.
The various gifts they gave me piled up so much that I felt like I could just open a store later.
And Su Lingyun has completely become a frequent visitor to the Wei family.
She and Wei Qing even became close friends who talked about everything.
They are as good to each other as one person.
Sometimes he refused to go home at night and lived with Wei Qing.
Sometimes she would invite Wei Qing to stay at her home.
This was also the second thing that made Su Lingyun happy since she came to Qingzhou City.
The first thing is that I discovered that the food at Xiangmanlou is very delicious.
It's even more delicious than the restaurants in the capital.
However, since I was invited by Wei Qing and had a meal cooked by Wei Yi.
Su Lingyun even felt that the delicious food in the building no longer smelled good.
If it weren't for his father's request, she would have to go home for dinner every day.
She is probably ready to become a member of the Wei family directly.
But despite this, Su Lingyun still made excuses to eat at the Wei family.
But Wei Yi didn't mind either.
It's just an extra pair of chopsticks. If the Wei family has a great cause, does she still need one more person?
And every time when they cook, Su Lingyun and Wei Qing will help.
Very diligent and obedient.
Of course, during this period, the most sensational news in Qingzhou City was not the news that Wanjia had collapsed and was completely defeated by Xiangmanlou.
It was about the news that Wei Yi had funded the expansion of Qingfeng Academy and planned to build a private school in the city.
This incident was completely famous throughout the city through Wei Yi's saying, "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world."
Making Wei Yi's name almost a household name.
Especially in the hearts of ordinary people at the bottom, Wei Yi is like the saint who saves the world.
Because Wei Yi gave their children the opportunity to learn.
It also gave those common people the possibility to enter Qingfeng Academy to study.
Such acts of kindness are rare in this day and age.
In the hearts of countless students, Wei Yi's status is also rising.
They started with Wei Yi's talent, but fell into Wei Yi's noble character.
Wei Yi's words, "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are powerful, you can help the world." It has become their motto.
Now in Qingzhou City, Wei Yi has really gained both fame and fortune, and is respected by thousands of people.
