Chapter 540: Sucking guests outside the city

The autumn wind withered, and in the early winter, fifteen top restaurants have finally officially launched their third cooperation.

Outside Yanxun’s restaurant, guests were coming like clouds, and the endless stream of diners made Yang Cheng’an smile and couldn’t stop. He bowed and bowed ten times a hundred times, but he could still maintain his perfect movements and his unchanging friendly smile.

The third cooperation between fifteen top restaurants was to choose Yanxun Restaurant.

Antique calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, Yanxun Restaurant is a treasure pavilion. The collection of King Yicheng, the treasure of Lord Shangshu, the unique family masterpieces of Qin Honghou... The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and the vases placed in the corners are worth a lot of money, and each one has a great origin.

From the first floor to the third floor, Yanxun Restaurant, which was originally decorated with luxuriously, will be worth hundreds or thousands of times more after these antique calligraphy and paintings appear. If you pick up an inconspicuous thing, it will be worth more than ten thousand taels, including more than ten thousand taels of rare treasures.

These things were borrowed from fifteen top restaurants in order to create a sensation. Perhaps not everyone likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings or knows how to appreciate rare treasures, but as long as the publicity is properly, it can make the wealthy people in the capital think that they will have the best share if they don’t look at them.

On the first day of its launch, the Yanxun Restaurant's business was completely expected by the owners of major top restaurants. Its popularity is second only to the days before Linji Inn launched the spirit stone fan four or five months ago.

It is no exaggeration to call Yanxun Restaurant a business a boom. At noon, like the time when Linji Inn launched a spirit stone fan and VIP card, there was a grand occasion of waiting in line.

In order to borrow these rare treasures, the top restaurants have put out a considerable amount of money and favors. This is just a promotion of one restaurant, and the other fourteen companies also cost a lot.

This situation seems to have a huge impact on Lin Ji Inn, but in Lin Dong's eyes, it is a good thing. Major top restaurants joined forces, and he was not worried about anything else, just worried that these restaurants would boil frogs in warm water and slowly consume with Lin Ji Inn.

Although Linji Inn will become stronger and stronger as time goes by, no matter how strong it is, it will not be able to form an overwhelming advantage for all major restaurants without five or six years. If you drag it down slowly, you will not be able to make a fortune. If you want to slowly develop regular customers, the strength of major top restaurants is there. If you use a few small tricks, Linji Inn will have to be tired of dealing with it.

It forces major top restaurants to use big means and spend a lot of money. Although the confrontation is not difficult, Linji Inn is not unavailable. As long as it can be cope with it, the top restaurants still want to introduce big means, just like this publicity, and at least one or two months have to discuss and prepare. This month or two is the free time for Linji Inn to cultivate regular customers. The more powerful the means, the more free time it will be.

Lin Dong did not intend to retreat the same as the previous two times as the suppression of major top restaurants. The previous two retreats were, first because they were not very powerful, and Linji Inn could not lose much no matter how much they retreated. Secondly, it was to lure all major top restaurants to take the hook and make them despise Linji Inn, thus using huge means.

Now that the goal has been achieved, I will retreat and when the fifteen top restaurants are in full bloom one by one, there are probably few diners at Linji Inn.

Of course, Lin Dong had no intention of counterattacking immediately. He counterattacked too early. The price paid by major top restaurants was not too high. Stop in time and the losses flattened were acceptable. More importantly, it was not the time yet, and winter was just beginning.

At the gate of the north of the city, there was a cold wind. Lin Dong and Ma Chun and a few friends were sitting beside the city wall, which attracted strange eyes from pedestrians coming and going.

Lin Dong didn't notice these visions at all. At this moment, he had just swallowed the auxiliary cultivation pill redeemed from Tianfeng Street and was working hard to refine it.

Ma Chun and a group of friends looked towards the official road one by one, but after half an hour, they didn't see any movement. They just couldn't see anything like sightseeing and seeing the scenery.

In the gate of the city gate, Wang Chengyi, the general guarding the city in the north of the city, and the city guards were also a little nervous. The reason was naturally because Lin Dong and others were blowing the northwest wind on one side of the door.

Wang Chengyi and the city guards did not know Lin Dong, but they had all met Ma Chun, the manager of Lin Ji Inn!

When Lin Dong and the others first came, Wang Chengyi was still drinking tea in the room. When Shiroemon served tea and handed water, they were completely stunned when they learned that the shopkeeper of Linji Inn was also there. Even Wang Chengyi was a little stunned. The shopkeeper of Linji Inn was really just a businessman. Wang Chengyi was a general and had a fourth-rank official title. Although the powerful people who made friends with the rich people in the capital were not inferior to him, if they really encountered any conflict, the rich people would have to give him three points. After all, Wang Chengyi was not alone, and he also had a powerful person he knew.

But in front of the shopkeeper of Linji Inn, he had to be stunned. This shopkeeper, who could enter the ranks of wealthy people in the capital according to the size of Linji Inn, not only had a lot of money, but also had a friendship with the King of Qingliu.

As soon as the King of Qingliu came out, all the officials and nobles were only allowed to lie down.

Wang Chengyi had a big pomp and took it for granted that Lin Dong had a big pomp. He was still polite and couldn't help but feel nervous. If he was not angry because of the call of the shopkeeper Lin was angry, he would whisper a few words to the King of Qingliu. Although the fourth-rank official was not low, even the prefect would have to respectfully call him "Master" when he was in the palace. However, in front of the King of Qingliu, he was just a character who could make the head fall into the ground with just one word.

Not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one, Wang Chengyi had to be careful. Seeing that no one appreciated it, he just said that he was going out of the city to solicit guests. He had to follow a group of city guards to drink the northwest wind at the gate.

"There is a convoy coming!" Suddenly, a guy shouted.

The rapidly rushing spiritual power in Lin Dong's meridians retreated and rushed back into the Dantian. When he opened his eyes, he saw a long list of flat carriages carrying large wooden boxes slowly coming on the official road. Looking around, there were more than a hundred vehicles in the long queue.

The wooden boxes behind each carriage are piled up high. Lin Dong roughly estimates that there is absolutely no less than a thousand cubic meters of goods. If you rent a yard to store, you have to choose the largest one, otherwise you can't even put it down.

If the negotiations can be completed, this first business will definitely be a big start.

Lin Dong and Ma Chun stood up together and faced the carriage, and the guys followed closely.

"Stop! Who?"

The convoy's guard saw someone step forward and immediately shouted.

"I am the manager of Linji Inn. This is my shopkeeper. I'm sorry for your own risk! "Ma Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the city gate is right in front of us. We have no malice. We just want to ask if you want to stay?"

"No need!" The guard captain was in his early forties and waved his hand immediately after hearing this. Along the way, they rented private yards and never stayed in inns at all.

"Look at you, you must have been traveling all the way, right? You finally arrived in the capital safely, of course you have to have a good rest." Ma Chun naturally would not give up because of the words of the captain of the guards, and immediately smiled: "Our Linji Inn is the largest inn in the capital. In terms of accommodation, I can guarantee that it is definitely the best in the capital and even the Han Dynasty. Our friends are all enthusiastic, and the chef can compete with the top restaurants in the capital. In this regard, you can just ask someone after entering the city."

"In addition, our Linji Inn also has many warehouses, which can completely ensure the safety of your goods. At that time, you can just send one or two guards to guard the gate. The big guys have worked hard all the way, and it's time to reward them."

The captain of the guard was a little hesitant. Whether it was from him personally or from the entire guard, Ma Chun's words hit him weak. They came from a remote county town, sleeping all the way, starting from early spring, and arrived in the capital for more than half a year. After finally completing the task, it should be easy and relaxed. What's more, if it was really as good as the other party said, I believe the boss would not object. They are all martial arts practitioners, and it is still hard to resist finding a good place to stay, let alone the boss who is used to enjoying good days.

"Wait, I'll go and ask."

The captain of the guard did not hesitate for too long, and immediately turned around and headed straight for a carriage in the center of the convoy.

Soon, a thin black and thin middle-aged man in brocade clothes followed the captain of the guard.

"Do you run an inn?" The middle-aged man glanced at everyone, his eyes stayed on Lin Dong's best-dressed face.

"I am Ma Chun, the manager of Linji Inn." Ma Chun judged from the middle-aged man's attitude and clothes at a glance that he was the boss of these goods, and immediately smiled and said, "We..."

"I didn't let you speak." The middle-aged man was the most wealthy man in the county town. Although he knew that the capital was under the emperor's feet, he had some background whenever he picked up passers-by, but he didn't take an inn seriously yet, and immediately became dissatisfied with Lin Dong.

A manager is simply not equal to his identity. Even if he is a shopkeeper, he would not be qualified to speak in a similar way if he had not met him.

When I opened an inn, I met a bad temper. Even Lin Dong, who was not very involved, often encountered it. Therefore, I didn’t care much. I immediately said, “I am Lin Dong, the shopkeeper of Linji Inn. I don’t know what the boss calls him?”

"The surname is Yang, tell me why you let me live in the inn!" the middle-aged man said coldly.

"Our Linji Inn is the largest inn in Beijing..." Lin Dong's eloquence is not as good as Ma Chun, but this does not prevent him from repeating Ma Chun's previous introduction.

When Lin Dong finished speaking, the middle-aged man did not ask about the price, nodded and waved: "Brother Liu, let the convoy continue to move forward."

The escort captain was overjoyed and immediately ordered the escorts to direct the driver to move forward.

"You guys come to lead the way!" The middle-aged man waved to Lin Dong. Although he was not very satisfied with Lin Dong's attitude of asking a manager to come out for socializing, Lin Dong's introduction really moved him. As the captain of the guard expected, he hoped to find a place with better accommodation and relax. Along the way, he had enough sleeping in the open and staying in a residential house.

"please!"

Lin Dong originally wanted a guy to lead the way, but whenever he wanted, the guests naturally had to do so.

The middle-aged man put on a silk long gown and saw that the city gate was not far away. He touched the amount of the purse on his waist, but did not return to the carriage. He followed Lin Dong and others and strode towards the city gate.

(Thanks to scrooge for his reward, oo~…)
