In this way, Wei Peng followed suit and called the landlords of Lao Haihai's seven stores one after another.
He used money as bait and bought them off at all costs.
Behind every phone call, there is a battle about money and morality.
Soon, all the landlords were impressed by his money offensive.
They have ruthlessly increased the rents of Laohaihai stores, some even as much as five times.

When the last landlord agreed to raise the rent, Wei Peng had a proud smile on his face.
He felt that his plan had been half successful, and Lao Haihai would definitely suffer heavy losses this time.
He put down the phone with satisfaction, leaned back on his seat, closed his eyes and enjoyed the joy of victory.

"Finally, what I want to tell you is..."
"Although this crisis is serious, it is also an opportunity!"
"I have decided to close two of the stores whose leases are about to expire to reduce costs and streamline the team."
As soon as Xia Ye finished speaking, the entire conference room seemed to be hit by a heavy bomb, and the air froze instantly.
The executives' eyes widened, as if they heard something incredible.
The shareholders were livid and clutched the documents in their hands as if it was their last straw.
"Mr. Xia, are you sure your idea is correct?"

"Closing two stores will cause immeasurable damage to our brand image and market share!"
Another shareholder also stood up and became emotional: "This is simply crazy! We have invested so much money and time in these two stores, and now we just want to close them? How can we accept this!"
The employee representative couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Xia, many of our employees work in those two stores. What should they do? What should they do with their families? Have you ever considered our feelings?"
Xia Ye sat quietly on the main seat with firm eyes.

However, his explanation did not completely dispel the doubts of executives and shareholders.
There was still an atmosphere of tension and uneasiness in the conference room.
Everyone is thinking about the meaning and impact behind this decision.
Finally, the meeting ended in a heavy atmosphere.
Executives and shareholders left the room with mixed emotions.

He knows that this decision will have a certain impact on the company, but he also understands that this is the most effective measure to deal with the crisis of skyrocketing rents.
However, just when he was about to implement this plan, Wei Peng took action again!
