At Lu Fan's signal, Wang Wei immediately stood up and smiled at the people from Shengjing Company across the street:

"Such a big matter cannot be explained in just a few words."

"Please give us some time, and let our boss consider it as well." Zhao Jinshui wanted to just say directly, what's there to consider?

However, seeing that everyone on his side had nodded, he saw no need to jump up and play the villain at this moment.

Zhao Jinshui looked at Howard, the leader of this acquisition, who nodded to Wang Wei and then said to Lu Fan:

"Of course, we were just about to visit the factory. I wonder if Mr. Lu could find someone to show us around?"

Lu Fan naturally had no problem with it, and waved to his assistant, Xiao Zhang:

"Take Mr. Howard and the others around and show them around, and treat them well."

Xiao Zhang smiled and invited, "Come with me, everyone. Where would you like to look first?"

As he spoke, he opened the conference room door and led the group out of the office building.

Only his own people remained in the 600-seat conference room. Lu Fan looked at everyone and spoke first:

"So, what do you all think? Now that we're all alone, let's all share our thoughts."

After a moment's hesitation, since they hadn't known each other for long and weren't too worried about facing Lu Fan, they all sincerely expressed their opinions:

"I think, after all, the other party is the leading company in this field, and its sales volume is number one every year."

"Four hundred million is a lot of money, Mr. Lu. Are you really not going to consider it?"

“After deducting the money spent on acquiring the soy sauce factory and the funds for recruitment and equipment purchase, the remaining 400 million yuan is not a small amount.”

"It sounds like a lot, but it's not that much! You forgot to calculate how much we've earned in less than a month since we started operations?"

"Yes, we've only been working for such a short time, and we've already attracted the attention of Shengjing. You can imagine how serious the sales situation is for them!"

"Shengjing Company is good, but we're not bad either; the only drawback is that we haven't been back in operation for very long."

"In the long run, it's hard to say who will win or lose. Maybe in the future, everyone will only recognize our Lu's soy sauce and not their Shengjing brand!"

"Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Everyone had their own reasons, but they were all optimistic about the future of Lu's Soy Sauce Factory.

Moreover, the actual 400 million was not distributed among them, but was given to Lu Fan.

Therefore, the allure was far less than the potential to bring the Lu family to prominence.

However, Lu Fan went straight to the point as soon as he spoke:

"As you said, Shengjing is considered a leader in the same product industry, the top player."

“We don’t want to be acquired, but they dare to make this proposal, do we dare to reject it?”

Wang Wei was the one who least wanted Lu Fan to sell the soy sauce factory, and immediately said anxiously:

"Mr. Lu, are you scared?"

Lu Fan chuckled: "Afraid? I have quite a few businesses. A soy sauce factory is nothing. Even if I give it away for free, I won't lose much."

But he was just saying that; how could he possibly give away the business he had built so easily?

He said that simply to remind everyone:

"They won't let this go easily after we rejected their proposal. The soy sauce factory used to be just as successful as Shengjing Company. It's a pity they ruined it themselves."

Those seasoned veterans who have weathered many storms still have vivid memories of the tactics used in business warfare.

With the development of the times, marketing methods are also changing rapidly.

The only thing that remains unchanged is human nature.

Even the experienced craftsmen couldn't help but worry:

"Yes, Shengjing will definitely not let this go so easily."

"If they want to find a way to deal with us, can we handle it? We don't want to end up losing the factory instead of the 400 million. That would be a huge loss."

This is exactly what Lu Fan wanted to say, not to scare anyone, but to give everyone a heads-up.

Being acquired by Shengjing is just a slow and gradual process; everyone's life won't be easy.

But if we offend Shengjing, can we withstand the storm that awaits us? Seeing everyone pondering this, Lu Fan pressed on:

"It's remarkable that Shengjing Company reacted so quickly and came over to discuss the acquisition."

"It must be because our soy sauce factory, or rather our products, made them feel threatened."

"That's why they came knocking on our door regardless of the consequences."

Everyone's eyes lit up:

"Yes, otherwise why would they come all this way just to show off? It must be that our stuff is too good and scared them away."

"Acquisition is not a means; their ultimate goal is to acquire our products and devour them!"

"Why would we choose to be their obedient dogs and then be slaughtered after they've served their purpose, when we can earn money honestly and cleanly?"

Seeing that everyone suddenly understood, Lu Fan gave them some more data: "The soy sauce factory is on the verge of bankruptcy. Shengjing Company has taken the biggest slice of the pie, but its market share is still no more than 50%."

"Our products have only been on the market for less than half a month, and they have already attracted their attention. It is conceivable that they will dominate sales in the future."
