Chapter 1

Silla nightclub, luxury private room-

Xin Dongxiong calmed down, then he looked at Song Zhichao with respect and said, "What happened? The ingredients in our hotel were stopped from being served!"

Song Zhichao was slightly stunned, "Continue to say--"

“The ingredients in the major restaurants of Shilla Hotel have always been provided by the same company, including some drinks and wine.”

"Since yesterday, the head of the catering department reported to me that the ingredients and alcohol were insufficient. They had urged the food company to restock the goods as soon as possible, but the food company refused to say that the goods were temporarily in place due to transportation delays and other reasons."

"I didn't care much at first, but when I called other hotel chains in Silla, this happened to other hotels. I asked everyone to take stock of the ingredients and wine, and now it can last up to three days!"

After listening to Xin Dongxiong's narrative, Song Zhichao touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and asked: "According to common sense, how long can the hotel maintain food storage?"

"At least seven days, that is, one week."

"It's three days now? So someone is deliberately concealing the truth and delaying the time."

"Yes." Xin Dongxiong said, "I have found these people, but these people look indifferent and seem to have gained a lot of benefits."

Song Zhichao smiled, "Then there is no need to say that they can't get anything out of their mouths."

Xin Dongxiong had a little ashamed, "Yes!"

"Is this the only company that provides food and wine supply to Silla hotels?" Song Zhichao asked suddenly.

Xin Dongxiong nodded: "There were three companies originally, but not long ago, I cut off two companies due to cost reasons and finally left one. I thought that doing so would save a lot of money for the hotel, but I didn't expect it to become a fatal point that people can take!

The management of Silla Hotel has always been mainly based on room accommodation and catering services.

But everyone knows that in terms of profit margin, the profit of the catering department has always been much greater than the profit of customer service accommodation.

To put it bluntly, the best money for food and drink in this world is to make money. Especially those rich people are not short of money, and come to hotels to spend money, just to eat, drink and have fun.

Not to mention anything else, the price of the bottle of Hennessy, the foreign wine in front of Song Zhichao is 120 US dollars, but it can be sold at 1,500 US dollars in a nightclub, which is more than ten times more.

This is the huge profits of catering.

It is precisely because of this that after Xin Dongxiong retakes the hotel management rights, he has made drastic reforms, hoping to increase the profits in catering a lot.

Ambition prompted Xin Dongxiong to cut off two other food companies that supply hotels, leaving only one, but now, the company suddenly left the hotel out of stock, which means that the hotel and catering business will soon fall into paralysis.

At that time, the dignified Silla Hotel will have an embarrassing situation where guests have no food to eat or drink.

"What about the other two companies you cut off? Can you contact them now?" Song Zhichao asked Xin Dongxiong.

Xin Dongxiong showed a hint of anger on his face, "The two food companies set prices on the ground, requiring the purchase price of ingredients and alcohol to increase by 30%.

Song Zhichao laughed: "This is also human nature, just bear with it."

Xin Dongxiong: "I understand what you mean, but when I wanted to promise them, they suddenly repent, saying that the ingredients and alcohol of their two companies will not be supplied normally within a month."

Song Zhichao: "Haha, this is not normal - you don't make money. Can you say that people in this world think money is hot?"

Xin Dongxiong: "It's not that I think money is hot, it's clear that someone is interfering in it!"

Song Zhichao: "You mean... your good brother?"

"Who else can I have besides him?" Xin Dongxiong yelled, "It must be him who joined hands with three food companies to fight me, wanting to mess up the hotel and catering and force me to step down!"

Song Zhichao smiled slightly, "You brothers are really in love and kill each other - by the way, what's the name of that food company that deliberately out of stock?"

Xin Dongxiong hesitated for a moment and said, "Elephant Food Company - affiliated with the Elephant Group!"

Song Zhichao was slightly stunned, "Elephant Group?"

Suddenly, he remembered a person and a woman.

The future Samsung Crown Princess - Lin Shiling!

...

Seoul, South Korea, Elephant Group Headquarters—

"If all the foods of our Elephant Group can be officially entered into Lotte Supermarket and Lotte's major department stores this time, then it will be a feat across the century for our group!" An old man with slightly white temples sat upright on the boss's chair, holding the signing documents in his hand, feeling ecstatic.

As South Korea's largest food group, Elephant Group has always been among the best in food development and food sales.

However, the competition in the South Korean food industry is too fierce, especially under the current circumstances, South Korea's economy is in a downturn. In order to sell their products, many large and small food factories have sharpened their heads to supermarkets and department stores.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the "ramen" that Koreans love to eat the most, that is, "instant noodles", which has more than 200 varieties in South Korea.

Among them, there are 38 types of Elephant Group. In order to increase the sales of "elephant ramen", the top person in charge of Elephant Group, Lin Changyu, is even more struggling to stuff its ramen into major supermarkets in South Korea.

In South Korea, the one that does the best in supermarkets or department stores and owns the largest number is undoubtedly the South Korean Lotte Group.

Lotte Supermarket and Lotte Department Store are well-known in South Korea, and even have chain stores in Japan, Hong Kong, and other countries and regions in Asia.

Elephant President Lin Changyu has always made his food accessible to Lotte, allowing people from all South Korea and the world to eat elephant food and taste ramen, kimchi, and other delicacies under the Elephant Group as their ultimate goal.

However, Lotte Group is very picky about the products entering the market, especially food. The reason is that these foods are profitable but also have great risks. After all, they are things that are in the mouth and stomach. If they are not done well, food safety incidents will occur, which will affect the image of Lotte Group.

For this reason, Lin Changyu tried to fight for several days, but failed to promote the main food of the Elephant Group into Lotte Department Stores and supermarkets.

But now-

Who would have thought that the stuffed cakes fell from the sky?

Lotte Group Chairman Xin Dongbin actually took the initiative to contact his daughter Lin Shiling, and asked Lin Shiling to make a match for the intermediary to achieve this temporary contract.

Contract content: "As long as the Elephant Group is out of stock, it can enter major Ramen, Kimchi and other foods in major Lotte department stores and supermarkets in the future!"

Lin Changyu knew very clearly that this was Xin Dongbin going to start a war against his brother Xin Dongxiong and officially seized the management rights of the Silla Hotel.

As for why we have to let our daughter Lin Shiling make a bridge and make a connection, the purpose is very simple—

Xin Dongbin wants to drag Samsung into the water, causing a strong alliance between Lotte, Samsung and Elephant.

After all, his daughter is the future Samsung Princess.
