Chapter 371 - The Jiang Family Destruction V (1/2)
Jiang Tingguang took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from the Marketing Department Manager of his company.
Because of what Liao Yan had said earlier, Jiang Tingguang's mood had improved a little, so when he answered the phone, his voice was quite calm. ”What's wrong?”
The manager said anxiously, ”Boss Jiang, it's over! All the stores in our malls have closed today. I ...”
”What are you panicking about?” Jiang Tingguang rebuked angrily. ”Is the sky falling? Is this world about to be doomed? Can you just say straight to the point?”
Hearing this, the manager immediately took a deep breath to calm down and casually said, ”The sky has not fallen yet, and the apocalypse has not come yet. More than half of the stores in our shopping malls are closed. Restaurants, clothing stores, and even cosmetics are not open. We have just received calls from 30 food manufacturers telling us that they are leaving our hypermarkets, and suppliers of electrical appliances also will no longer supply electrical appliances to us. The other half of beverage and liquor distributors said that they would never supply to our hypermarkets again!”
”What the f*ck!” Jiang Tingguang fell off his chair. He was really stunned. At this point, he really felt that the sky had fallen. It was the end of the world!
If all these suppliers didn't provide the goods, then what was he supposed to be selling? Selling ghosts?
The manager only heard the ”bang” sound, but did not know that Jiang Tingguang had fallen to the ground, so he was still relatively calm and casually said, ”Also, because of Young Miss's words last night, our hypermarket has been boycotted by netizens. Apart from a handful of old people who visited the hypermarket, we didn't see any young people. In addition, the old people saw that the stores outside were all closed, so they thought our hypermarkets were closed, and they all left as soon as they walked through the door.”
The misfortune did not come separately.
This was a double blow.
At this moment, Jiang Tingguang truly experienced what it meant by 'there is no single calamity'.
If only those stores were closed and even if the supplier didn't want to supply anymore, it didn't matter as long as the netizens did not boycott him. Jiang Tingguang could rely on the stock of goods, which was enough for ten days.
He also still had time to think of other methods. But if the people did not come to the hypermarkets to buy things, this was simply pushing him to the brink of death!
Just when Jiang Tingguang thought this was the worst thing that could happen to him, the manager said, ”Earlier, the big real estate department called and said that our previous contract with them will expire this month. Starting next month, the monthly rent will be increased to one and a half million per month. If we can accept that, they will sign a new contract, but if not ... we will have to vacate our hypermarkets before the end of the month.”
Jiang Tingguang: ”...”
Could it be any worse?
The rent had risen to 1.5 million RMB per month. Even if his hypermarkets did really well in the past, he still wouldn't be able to earn that much money to pay the rent.
The manager acted as if he was listening to Jiang Tingguang's thoughts, and continued, ”The business cooperation we had extended to Europe before, the person in charge there called and said that the other parties had no desire to continue this cooperation.”
