Although Wang Mingtang did not say it explicitly, he hinted at it to Wang Wei.

Behind this is a collaboration between other companies and Shengjing Company.

Lu Fan is now completely disappointed with the shopping platforms his company has launched.

They actually allow other capital to trample on local enterprises at will, and block them whenever they want.

There is simply no environment for healthy competition.

Now, he feels more disappointed than worried about the soy sauce factory.

Wang Wei was deeply resentful because the factory had always been at the mercy of others. Lu Fan wasn't in the mood to comfort her; he simply said he would find a way to resolve the matter before leaving the office.

After "297" got back into Zhang Fan's car, Lu Fan didn't say where they were going.

Seeing Lu's expression, Zhang Fan knew he wasn't in a good mood. But he wasn't a talkative person and was always more composed than his cousin Xiao Zhang, who served as Lu Fan's secretary and assistant.

So he opened the car door and got out, then dialed the number of President Lu's wife, Jiang Manyue.

Zhang Fan thought that they were family after all, and there might be things that President Lu might not be willing to talk to him about, but he might really want to talk to his family and relatives.

Inside the carriage, Lu Fan gazed at the scenery of the factory area, unaware of Zhang Fan's departure.

The soy sauce factory has only been in operation for less than three months, but it has already shown Lu Fan what it means to struggle to get started.

Related to it are the printing plant, Fanyue Real Estate Company, and the Hongxin Plaza acquired by it, as well as the large chain supermarket Baiyue that it created and operated.

Everything went smoothly.

Even Baiyue's operations have seen its profits steadily increase thanks to various benefits.

It's truly a case of "the flowers you plant with care may not bloom, while the willows you plant unintentionally may thrive." Thinking of this, Lu Fan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Just then, a familiar, pleasant female voice rang out from outside the car window: "Lu Fan, are you alright?"

Lu Fan shifted slightly. Here, besides Jiang Manyue, there was no one else who would call him by his name directly.

Jiang Manyue quickly opened the car door, sat down next to Lu Fan, and looked at him with concern:

"I heard from Wang Wei, how are you? Are you alright?"

Lu Fan chuckled upon hearing this:

"What's good or bad about it? It's just that Manager Wang is too naive." Back then, he caused quite a stir in Jinghai City, fighting the Wang family to the death, even exchanging blows with assassins.

When has Lu Fan ever been afraid?

The actions of these foreign companies are much easier to deal with and more "benevolent" than those of the Wang family.

Despite saying that, Jiang Manyue still gave him a thorough once-over before finally letting out a sigh of relief:

"When I heard what Wang Wei said, and when I heard Zhang Fan's phone call, I was really worried about you."

They were worried that Lu Fan would be under too much pressure, and they were also worried that his will would be broken.

Lu Fan nodded, not denying the seriousness of the matter:

"I'm just thinking about how to completely get rid of the current problems."

"Being constantly chased and bitten by dogs is really not a pleasant thing," Jiang Manyue said with a smile, somewhat jokingly.

"Although I've been busy dealing with the Jiang Group's affairs, I've also heard about the situation in Nanshan City."

"To counterbalance your actions, you're buying up supermarkets and opening chain stores, and your business is even rebounding in Jinghai City. What are you afraid of?"

"If you ask me, since the logistics and distribution center is already set up, why don't you just buy the e-commerce platform as well?"

What started as a joke turned out to be a revelation, giving Lu Fan some inspiration...

His expression shifted slightly, and he sat up straight, asking his wife:

"Do you mean building your own exclusive e-commerce platform, or completely breaking free from the constraints of other shopping platforms and starting anew to compete head-to-head with them?"

Jiang Manyue let out a soft "uh," not expecting Lu Fan to have such a wild idea.

She was about to say that's not what she meant, that there was absolutely no need to compete with these e-commerce shopping platforms for business just to show off her fists or for revenge.

But even though Jiang Manyue had the words on the tip of her tongue, her mind reacted faster than her mouth.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized she had the same thought as Lu Fan: Why not?

When I was doing live-streaming e-commerce before, they blocked my live stream. Later, when my products were listed on shopping platforms, the platforms sabotaged me again.

If supermarkets can be opened, why can't we set up an e-commerce shopping platform?

Jiang Manyue thought it over and found it increasingly feasible. She even offered Lu Fan some reliable suggestions:

“I’ve also read Manager Wang’s report. In fact, after that incident, the sales of Lu’s Soy Sauce brand also opened up new avenues for sales due to the advertising effect.”

"She said that customer loyalty is very high, and once they have used the Lu's brand, the repurchase rate is still quite good."

"If that's the case, why not continue to expand the online market?" With Jiang Manyue's support, Lu Fan no longer felt like he was a lone wolf, without any support.
