Boss Jin arranged for Xiao Jiangxi to conduct ** transactions, which resulted in a loss of 200,000. Although Boss Jin did not give up, he borrowed a lot of money from Mrs. Lin with "Jin Meilin" as collateral. Unfortunately, Boss Kim eventually fell to his death while trying to evade Mrs. Lin, who was trying to collect debts.
The unfortunate death of Boss Kim plunged Lu Meilin into an economic crisis as she had to take on a large amount of debt left by Boss Kim. The threat is obvious: if the arrears cannot be repaid within a week, Mrs. Lin will retake the hotel and kick Lu Meilin out of the house.
In order to get out of this predicament, Lu Meilin borrowed money from all over the place, but she was faced with the embarrassing situation of not being able to get any assistance. In desperation, she had to go to the "Zhizhen Garden" to ask Li Li for help, but was coldly refused.
Lu Meilin's plight caught the attention of the other proprietress on Huanghe Road. However, not only were they reluctant to provide loans, but they intended to take over the operation of "Jin Meilin". On this Yellow River Road, where there are hundreds of restaurants, Zhizhenyuan, Honglu and Jin Meilin are among the best in business.
Zhizhenyuan's Li Li is mainly in business, unwilling to participate in any gang activities, and only pursues his own business goals. The same is true for the red heron, which remains calm about what is happening on the Yellow River Road and always stays out of it.
The pattern of the Yellow River Road shows that Zhizhenyuan and Honglu are evenly matched opponents competing with each other. They are not aligned because they have enough strength and confidence to operate independently.
Lu Meilin and the other proprietresses formed a small alliance, in fact, to strengthen the unity of the power against the stronger counterparts. Why are the hotel proprietors on the Yellow River Road willing to obey Lu Meilin's command? There are two key reasons for this.
Lo Mei Lin is always happy to lead everything. It is not an admirable act to use some less honorable means against peers. In the process of doing business, if customers learn that the restaurant owner is good at tricks, I am afraid that it will discourage consumers.
Lu Meilin is willing to take on the role of the eldest sister, which makes the other proprietresses feel more at ease. In some of the more excessive behaviors, Lu Meilin is willing to be the object of discussion, and when there is a problem, she will also take responsibility.
At the same time, Du Honggen is willing to provide support to Lu Meilin. If there is business on the Yellow River Road that surpasses Lu Meilin and others, they will adopt a three-pronged approach of "cutting out goods, cutting off electricity, and robbing chefs". Lu Meilin and the other bosses dared to take these measures, mainly because Du Honggen supported them behind them. The other proprietresses flattered and obeyed Lu Meilin, which was equivalent to making Du Honggen their backer.
You have to think twice before someone else wants to do anything to them. However, as Du Honggen fled because of an IOU of 300,000 yuan, it seems that Lu Meilin has lost her big backer. After the death of Boss Jin, Jin Meilin's business slipped from a daily turnover of 100,000 to pulling customers on the street, and Lu Meilin's glory days were gone.
As the saying goes: "It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow." At this time, if they choose to borrow money to help Lu Meilin pay off her debts, it is unknown when Lu Meilin will be able to pay off these debts. Or whether Lu Meilin is willing to repay the money has also become a question. Although everyone usually obeys Lu Meilin's words, in fact, several proprietresses know her methods very well. Although Miss Wang has not left No. 27, she has already gone to the factory to suffer.
Lo Meilin was dismissive of Miss Wang and put pressure on her. Although Miss Wang may be from a foreign trade company, she should be treated as Lu Meilin's guest when Jin Meilin dins. Even if Lu Meilin is not willing to receive her warmly, she should not make things difficult for Miss Wang and make her feel embarrassed. What's even more puzzling is that Lu Meilin actually made a move on Mr. Jin and gave him a slap in the face. This kind of behavior will only make everyone see her true side, and such a person is not worthy of trust.
Judging from Lu Meilin's character, even if she borrows money to help her get through the difficulties, I am afraid she will not get a word of gratitude. Instead, it may be seen as a way to repay her for taking care of her. Moreover, there are benefits to not helping Lu Meilin. If it weren't for Mrs. Lin's interest in Jin Meilin, other proprietresses would have the opportunity to buy this restaurant at a lower **, thus expanding the scope of business.
The reason why Lu Meilin can't get help is because of her own strong personality on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also the inevitable result of social competition.
