Peerless Genius System

Chapter 571: Bandits.

Su Li was currently feeding Su Bei porridge, when she heard Chai Zhiying’s words, she frowned and asked, “Lost 2 million in half a month?”

She thought she heard wrong. For a long time now, Sumir had been her source of income every month. In addition, it was also her future reliance once she lost her position and influence in the entertainment industry. This was her path to ensure that she wouldn’t be living on the streets.

‘But why did Sumir suddenly lose so much money now?’

Luo Pingxiang also got a fright when she heard such news. Influenced by Chai Zhiying and Su Li, she also wasn’t paying attention to Luo Fang. Moreover, a few years ago, there was a fiasco of the failed Feixue Company, which made her feel that Luo Fang would merely follow their footsteps and fail. But who would have thought that it didn’t take long before Luo Fang would turn around and suppress Sumir.

“The traditional Chinese herbal drink launched by Luo fang can lower blood pressure and it is also an anti-coagulation. Our customers in the bakery industry in Xia Hai are mostly middle-aged and elderly people, so after hearing about such a traditional Chinese herbal drink, they all went to Luo Fang to get one and while they did that, they also bought the pastries there. This results in a sharp decline in our Sumir sales. Not to mention profit, we have been losing money every day. If this situation does not change, Sumir will just continue to lose money.”

Chai Zhiying was worried. Originally, she didn’t want to bother Su Li. She thought that Luo Fang would only temporarily hook the customers and after some time, things would return to normal. However, it wasn’t the case at all.

Su Li’s calm eyes flashed with faint ripples, this news obviously surprised her.

She asked, “Is their Chinese herbal drink really so effective?”

Chai Zhiying nodded, “According to my own research, people who have been drinking the Chinese herbal drink are saying nothing but praise for it. I also specially tested it with a person with high blood pressure. After drinking the drink for two to three days, the person went to get a regular physical examination. The results state that the person’s blood pressure really dropped.”

She sighed, “I didn’t expect that bastard named Zhang Dashan to have such clever means. We underestimated him, Miss Li what do you think we should do?”

“Have you eaten breakfast yet?” Su Li asked.

“Not yet, I came to report the situation to you as soon as I got up.” Chai Zhiying replied.

Su Li’s face returned to normal as if nothing had happened. The previous flare in her eyes also returned to the same calmness of before. “Then eat breakfast first.”

She then continued to feed Su Bei. The little girl was just like a cute baby bird, opening her mouth and waiting for the small spoon to send the porridge into her mouth.

Chai Zhiying didn’t continue to say anything. She listened to Su Li and sat down to enjoy breakfast. She was also indeed hungry. Actually, losing two million in half a month was just a warning sign for Sumir, and the only urgent task was to report it to the boss. But for them personally, two million was just a small amount. It was nothing that couldn’t wait a few more days.

[Ding Rinrin…]

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

“It’s Dad, it must be Dad!” Su Bei exclaimed excitedly.

Aunt Li went to open the door, and it was indeed Xiao Luo who entered. He was wearing a white shirt with the collar slightly open.

“Dad!” Su Bei shouted happily. She had not seen Xiao Luo for several days, so she was very elated seeing him at this time.

Xiao Luo walked over, pinched her little nose, and then found an empty place to sit down. Aunt Li had already handed him a bowl and chopsticks. He didn’t act like a stranger at all and simply took a piece of bread with chopsticks and started eating.

“Xiao Luo, where is your friend Zhang Dashan?” Chai Zhiying looked up and asked in a questioning tone.

Xiao Luo pretended to know nothing and frowned, “He should be in the company. Why do you want to talk to him?”

“His Luo Fang has stolen the market from Sumir!” Chai Zhiying was still irritated about the fact that Sumir actually lost.

“Oh, did it?”

Xiao Luo smiled. “I seem to remember that you didn’t care about Luo Fang before, and you also threatened that Luo Fang would only see defeat. But why are you in a rush now?”

“I…” Chai Zhiying was stumped for words.

Xiao Luo ignored her and continued to eat breakfast.

“What are you busy with these days? I haven’t seen you come over for breakfast for a long time.” Su Li looked at him at this time and asked.

“Nothing, just busy working.” Xiao Luo answered.

Su Li nodded, and then went on to feed Su Bei.

Chai Zhiying couldn’t sit still. She said eagerly, “Xiao Luo, give me Zhang Dashan’s phone number. I want to meet him.”

“You want to see him, but he may not want to see you. Besides, what can you do when you see him? Ask him why he robbed Sumir’s cake (sales)?”

Xiao Luo shook his head and sneered. “If this is the case, then just forget it. It will just show that you are naive. No one controls the market, anyone can try and get a share. It’s just a matter of who can outshine the others. His Luo Fang did not violate the principle of fair competition. Yes, Sumir lost customers but you can’t just blame Luo Fang. Instead, you should look within for the reason.”

“Sumir has always monopolized the baking industry in Xia Hai. If it wasn’t for Luo Fang and that Zhang Dashan’s interference, we could’ve continued forever.” Chai Zhiying gritted her teeth.

“Don’t you understand?” Xiao Luo argued, “Indeed, Sumir has monopolized the baking industry in Xia Hai for many years, but because of such monopoly that it has not made any improvements. Times are constantly changing. If Sumir does not adapt to this era, it will be eliminated.”

Chai Zhiying said angrily., “You are a friend of Zhang Dashan. Of course, you would speak up for him! His Luo Fang broke into Xia Hai and stole customers from our Sumir. This kind of behavior is simply like that of bandits!”

“Ha ha…”

Xiao Luo was not in the mood to continue entertaining her anymore. He came here to sound out Su Li’s mood and see if it was time for a showdown. To tell the truth, he really didn’t want to go to war with Sumir, and he really wanted to reach a cooperation between their companies. Luo Fang and Sumir becoming strategic partners was what he would most like to see.

But Su Li didn’t say anything until she finished breakfast, and asked Aunt Li to clean up the table. She said faintly, “Sister Ying, lower the price of all the products to the base price (the cost to produce the product)!”

With only this sentence, she made Xiao Luo’s mind tremble. This woman already found the seven inches of Luo Fang, and hit it with a stick.

(Tl: The above is like that of a snake where it’s vital is located seven inches below its head.)

‘A price war!’

This was what he was most worried about. After all, the economic strength of Luo Fang was definitely worse than that of Sumir, not to mention that there was Huayao Group behind Sumir as their strongest backup. Once Sumir launched a price war, Luo Fang would be placed in a very precarious position.
