No second cinema was supposed to be a wall.
Yang Ruoqian wrote the order himself and made the words as plain as possible.
Xplendi will not purchase, lease, renovate, operate, reserve, investigate, compare, or otherwise prepare a second old cinema.
He looked at the sentence and felt satisfied.
Then he added one more line.
This is not a scarcity strategy.
That line made him feel even safer.
Chang Zhiqing read it and asked, "Should we remove the second line?"
"Why?"
"Because saying it is not a scarcity strategy may make people think about scarcity strategy."
Yang held the paper in both hands.
The sentence was true. The sentence was also a trap. Truth had become unsafe in his company.
He removed it.
The final order went out with only the wall.
For two hours, it worked.
No one proposed expansion. No department asked for site research. The old cinema stayed one old cinema, which was still one too many, but at least not two.
