Sure enough, just as Li Xueting predicted, Zhang Haojie and the rest started to make big moves in the next few days.
They opened more than ten shops on the same day and all of them were opposite the Baiyun Restaurant.
Moreover, the opening promotion was very popular.
Li Ruyu and the rest who were not clear about the situation were very worried. During dinner that night, Li Ruyu reported to Ou Shaotian.
"Shaotian, Zhang Haojie and the rest are making bigger moves. Today, they opened more than ten shops and they are all opposite our food hall."
Li Ruyu said worriedly.
"Is our customer flow affected?"
Ou Shaotian's expression also turned serious as he asked.
"Every food hall's customer flow has decreased by 20% to 30%. Overall, the impact is huge!"
Li Ruyu said worriedly.
If Zhang Haojie and the rest continued to fight a price war with them, it would undoubtedly be the worst.
The Zhang family had a big business and did not lack money. If this continued, it would be really terrible.
"I also saw Zhang Haojie today. They snatched most of the Lingtian in the school's Lingtian garden. They probably thought that they would win if they controlled the Lingtian, so they opened so many shops!"
Li Xueting said.
"Yes, yes. He was so smug today. I want to beat him up!"
Mu Guoguo's mouth was full and she could not speak clearly.
"Then what should we do? Without the Lingtian, won't our vegetables be cut off?"
Li Ruyu said worriedly.
"Don't worry too much. We have already built a private farm with about ten mu of Lingtian. It is enough for now."
Ou Shaotian said with a smile.
After hearing Li Xueting's words, he was also looking forward to seeing Zhang Haojie and the rest's expressions when they found out that they had a private Lingtian and did not lack vegetables.
"They are so smug now. They are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves!"
Li Xueting said disdainfully.
"Then do we need to take any measures now?"
Li Ruyu asked after letting go of his worries.
"Didn't I say last time that we have an event? The membership card top-up has already been done. There is also a lucky draw event."
Ou Shaotian said as he ate.
Then, he briefly explained the rules.
After placing an order, they would pay the bill. They could use the bill to draw a lucky draw. The prizes could be gifts like dishes or discounts.
They believed that many people would like it.
The people here had never played the lottery before. If it was their first time playing, they would probably be filled with anticipation and surprise.
This event was probably more attractive than topping up!
"Okay, I will get it!"
Li Ruyu said excitedly.
"The other party will definitely imitate. I suggest that we make it more lively and increase the number of lucky draws. We can't let the other party surpass us!"
Yun Duo also said aloud.
"Okay, we will increase the number of lucky draws this time. The special prize will be free of charge. However, you can only draw the lottery after paying the bill. This is to prevent people from drawing the lottery for free. Put in more effort!"
Ou Shaotian nodded and said aloud.
"Understood, I will set up all the links. I won't let anyone take advantage of any loopholes!"
Li Ruyu nodded.
After that, everyone stopped talking and focused on eating.
The next morning, Ou Shaotian and Yun Duo did not go out to sea. Instead, they went to the Baiyun Restaurant in the central area.
It opened at ten o 'clock in the morning.
The Zhang Family Hotel across the street opened almost at the same time.
Coincidentally, Zhang Haojie and the rest were also across the street. Both parties looked at each other across the street with a proud look on their faces.
Zhang Haojie thought that with the spiritual garden, victory was already in his hands. As for Ou Shaotian and the rest, it was needless to say.
"Junior, if you don't want to cut off the supply of vegetables, you should work with me. I don't want much. Just give me half of the shares."
Zhang Haojie's proud voice was clearly heard across the street by Ou Shaotian and the rest.
"Hehe, let's wait and see!"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
Then, he ignored him and led everyone back to the restaurant to start preparing.
Last night, Li Ruyu finished the preparations for the lucky draw. First, there was a huge announcement for the lucky draw!
After opening the door, the announcement was placed at the door.
At the same time, there was a small loudspeaker that constantly played a voice message. "There's an event. One lucky draw. The highest price is free. Don't miss it!"
Soon, many people who came to eat and were still hesitating about which side to choose immediately made their decision when they saw that there was an event here.
They all entered the Baiyun Restaurant.
Baiyun Restaurant was filled with customers and was very lively. On the other hand, the Zhang Family Hotel was deserted. There was not a single person!
"There are so many tricks. But let's see how long you can last without the Lingtian!"
Zhang Haojie snorted coldly and turned to return to the hotel.
Zhang Haojie did not care about the lucky draw event that Baiyun Restaurant launched. To him, these were small tricks that could not be used in public.
It was only effective for a short period of time.
And he controlled the Lingtian in the school's spiritual garden. He truly controlled the lifeline of the food and beverage industry.
In a few days, Baiyun Restaurant would lack vegetables.
Even seasoned spirit fruits wouldn't last long.
"Zhang, should we also have a lucky draw event?"
Ge Long could not help but ask.
"No need to do this mess. Without the Lingtian, they will not last long!"
Zhang Haojie said coldly.
Of course, without the Lingtian, there was a way. They could go to other floating islands to buy vegetables.
But this way, the cost would be high.
In the next few days, Baiyun Restaurant held lucky draw events every day. Zhang Haojie and the others looked around every day, hoping that Baiyun Restaurant would not last.
In the end, after waiting for a long time, they did not see any shortage of vegetables in Baiyun Restaurant.
Not to mention the lack of seasoned spiritual fruits.
"Zhang, bad news. They built a private farm and produce a lot of vegetables every day. They don't need the school's spiritual garden at all."
At this time, someone rushed in to report.
"Damn it, how did this happen?"
Zhang Haojie was stunned.
"Zhang, what should we do now? We have been losing money these days. If this continues, we will not last long."
The others were also panicking.
Originally, they all thought that Baiyun Restaurant would not last long under their suppression, so it did not matter even if they were losing money for a short period of time.
But they realized that it was not the case at all.
Now, none of them could stay calm. If they could not solve the problem of Baiyun Restaurant, they would not last long.
More than a dozen stores opened at the same time. The daily consumption of manpower and material resources was huge.
Unless they could get the support of the families behind them, they would not last long with just the island's second generation and their pocket money.
