Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

"I'm looking for your boss."

Zhang Guiying crossed her arms and gave him a strange look. "You're so young and you've gone blind? I'm standing right in front of you!"

Is she the boss?

Liu Daren was startled and blurted out, "You're the owner of this shop? Are you kidding me? A shop this big, how could the owner be a woman!"

"..."

Zhang Guiying didn't intend to curse.

But this guy comes to her looking for a scolding, who can tolerate that?

Zhang Guiying, hands on her hips, launched into a tirade: "So what if she's a woman? Did she dig up your ancestral graves? What law says a woman can't be a boss? Without women, you wouldn't even have the chance to be born, let alone have the opportunity to babble in front of me!"

"..."

Liu Daren was sprayed with spittle all over his face.

He wiped his face, thinking to himself that this old woman had a really bad temper.

It's good to have a strong temper.

This shows that the business across the street is not doing well and they are already anxious.

Thinking about it that way...

Liu Daren immediately stopped being angry.

Seeing Zhao Binghe following behind Zhang Guiying, and confirming that Zhang Guiying was the boss, Liu Daren raised the apple and said cheerfully, "Auntie, that's not what I meant... I need to talk to you about something."

"Who are you calling 'Auntie' with that face full of wrinkles!"

"..."

He endured it!

Liu Daren immediately changed his form of address, "Big sister, I need to talk to you about something."

"What's up? Just say it!"

Liu Daren looked at the busy street and asked, "Shall we say it here?"

"Otherwise what?"

Zhang Guiying retorted irritably, "Do you think I'd invite my competitor to have tea in the backyard if there were trade secrets there? Are you stupid or am I?"

"..."

Liu Daren choked for a moment, "Big sister, you're really sharp-tongued."

That's the right way to make it choking.

They copied her decorations, copied her signboard, and now they're even trying to disgust her. If I don't shut them up, who will?

"Big sister, I'd like to buy your birthday cake recipe."

"..."

Zhang Guiying almost thought she had misheard.

He picked at his ear, then asked again uncertainly, "What did you say you wanted to buy?"

"Big sister, you heard me right, I want to buy your birthday cake recipe."

"..."

Let's not talk about Zhang Guiying.

Even Zhao Binghe was speechless.

Birthday cakes are such precious things.

Besides the department store, only Zhang Guiying's family in Ancheng owns one.

In other words, the reason why Zhang Guiying's products can be sold at such high prices and customers are still willing to buy them is because there are such high-end products on display.

Liu Daren opened his shop across from his house, competing directly with his business.

I'd like to buy their cake recipes now.

What is this guy thinking?

Zhang Guiying said to Zhao Binghe, "Is there something wrong with this guy's head?"

"Maybe."

Zhao Binghe cooperated earnestly, saying, "I guess he had a high fever when he was a child, which damaged his brain."

"..."

Liu Daren's lips twitched.

Is it possible that he can't hear such a loud voice?

Liu Daren knew his request was a bit outrageous, but there was nothing he could do. Their pastry shop only had common pastries like sponge cake, egg rolls, mung bean cake, and red date cake.

There are many varieties.

But it lacks a flagship product.

Liu Daren dared to come and buy the recipe, of course he had his own confidence. He said generously, "You can name your price for the recipe..."

"Then let's make it 100,000 yuan."

One hundred thousand?

Liu Daren was taken aback.

A cake only costs ten yuan!

This old woman actually asked him for 100,000 yuan, why doesn't she just rob him!

Liu Daren was so angry that his face turned pale.

Zhang Guiying shrugged, "Go ahead and bring it up, but you'll be unhappy if I actually do."

Liu Daren took a deep breath. "Sister, I'm here sincerely to do business with you... How about this, I'll offer a reasonable price, 5000 yuan, okay?"

"..."

Ah!

Zhang Guiying was so angry she laughed.

The shop now sells a steady 50 birthday cakes every day, and the profit from birthday cakes alone is nearly 400 to 5000 yuan a day. I don't know who's crazy to want to buy her recipe.

Zhang Guiying countered, "Do you yourself think this price is reasonable?"

"..."

unreasonable.

But Liu Daren has his own leverage.

He said confidently, "Sister, you've seen my business these past few days. I know in my heart that my business is good because my prices are lower than yours."

"To put it bluntly, nobody's money comes from thin air. Before, you were the only one selling dim sum and braised pork on this street, so it was understandable that your things were expensive. But now that there are other options, who would want to pay more for the expensive stuff? If this continues, your business will definitely be taken away by mine."

"You're both at an age, it's not easy for you to run a business. How about this, you sell me your cake recipe for 5000 yuan, and I'll adjust the prices of my braised pork and pastries to be the same as yours. We'll compete fairly, and both of us will make a living. What do you think?"

What a cunning scheme!

Paying 5000 yuan for her cake recipe is a bargain price, and you can also use that to raise the price of your own products.

All the benefits went to him.

Who gave him the courage to say such a thing?

Zhang Guiying couldn't hold back any longer. "So ordinary, yet so confident! You're all high and mighty after making a few bucks, but if you offend me, your life is in danger!"

"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson: the most important thing in doing business is to have a good product. Someone like you who only knows how to use underhanded tricks won't last long."

Liu Daren wasn't angry.

Smiling, he stuffed the apple into Zhang Guiying's hand. "Sister, I sincerely want to buy your recipe. You and your brother should think it over carefully. Once you've decided, come find me across the street anytime."

He came today simply to state his purpose.

When the Zhao family's shop can no longer survive, they will naturally beg to sell the recipe to him.

Liu Daren walked away with a smile.

……

Zhang Guiying disdainfully tossed the apple to Zhao Binghe.

Zhao Binghe hurriedly caught the apple, asking, "Wife, are you going to throw this apple away?"

"It's such a waste to throw it away."

Zhang Guiying turned and went into the shop, "to bring it back for the others to eat."

"oh."

Upon learning Liu Daren's purpose, everyone in the shop became furious.

Zhao Xueyi, in particular, rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "They're so damn arrogant! They talk like they can ruin us. We have to shut them up and show them who's in charge!"

Others chimed in.

Seeing the high morale, Zhang Guiying waved her hand and said, "The other side's event is over, now it's our turn! Let's get started!"

"good!"

These past two days of rest haven't been wasted.

Wang Ying has a high level of education.

Zhang Guiying specifically called her and asked her to write the brand story overnight.

Wang Ying is indeed very capable.

He made up a story overnight.

The story first introduces the origin of Zhang's braised pork and dim sum, and then gets to the main topic.

It is said that in a certain year, when Emperor Qianlong was traveling south, he passed through Ancheng and tasted the braised pork and pastries from the Zhang family. He was so pleased that he invited the Zhang family's ancestor to become an imperial chef.

It's all just bragging.

They exaggerate the quality of their braised pork and pastries to the skies.

Zhang Guiying was very satisfied.

That very day, they bought two huge pieces of yellow cloth to resemble an enlarged imperial edict, and found someone with beautiful calligraphy skills to write the story out and frame it.

Those two pieces of cloth are lying in the backyard now.

The activity across the hall has ended, and now it's their turn.

Zhang Guiying waved her hand, and Zhao Xueyi, Chengtuo, Ermao, and Zhao Xiaowei immediately set to work, carefully hanging the two pieces of bright yellow cloth covered with stories in the most conspicuous place in the shop.

Zhao Xiazhi and Zhang Shuiyan prepared a lot of new pastries yesterday, and they've all put them on the shelves today.

These two actions.

This elevated the shop's image.

They easily drew the guests back.

Liu Daren's family panicked immediately. "How could this happen? We clearly sold it for less than them... Daren, you're smart, think of something!"

"..."

Liu Daren's face was ashen.

Just as he was racking his brains with a gloomy face, he was trying to come up with a solution.

A man and a woman crouched down and entered the shop. "Boss, we can help you deal with Zhang Guiying and get your business back!"
