Chapter 143
In order to divide the financial power, Chen Lanjun took a step back.
"Sports Power" is still the "Sports Power" of the two companies, but the packaging and color are different, and the production factories are also different. When the time comes, each company will settle its own accounts and not interfere with each other. The amount of profit depends on their own ability. Of course, the "Sports Power" produced by Zhengmei Company with the new packaging, so it is also them who need to be re-recognized by the market, which is not a big hindrance to the Fourth Food Factory.
It can even be said that Zhengmei Company's advertising for "sports power" can also boost the production of the Fourth Food Factory.
After listening to what Chen Lanjun said, Lao Liang pondered for a while and nodded: "You are very tolerant. Although you will suffer a little loss in the short term, it will still be beneficial in the long run."
This is actually equivalent to a disguised "separation", but the means are more subtle and easier to accept.
Chen Lanjun smiled faintly: "In business, harmony is the most important thing. Please ask Liangju to see if there is anyone you know who can help me."
"Okay, I'll think about it." Lao Liang agreed immediately.
For him, this is also a good thing. In the future, Zhengmei Group’s “sports power” factory will be located in Pengcheng City. It can provide jobs and generate tax revenue, so it is worth doing some favors.
A few days later, Lao Liang called Chen Lanjun and said, "Let's go to Suicheng to pay New Year's greetings on the fourth day of the New Year."
Lao Liang found this person through his old leader, so he brought Chen Lanjun directly to the family quarters of the compound.
During the Spring Festival, the yard is very lively and many people come to pay New Year's greetings.
Several cars were stopped outside by the security guards. Offering cigarettes, wine and saying nice things was of no use.
Chen Lanjun followed behind Lao Liang. He took out his work ID and showed it to him, then said that he had already made an appointment.
The guard looked at his work notebook and confirmed that this was the case, so he let them in.
After finally meeting the real Buddha, the leader seemed unexpectedly friendly and spoke in a very sophisticated manner: "It's a good thing that 'Yongdongli' is opening a branch factory."
In just a few words, that place had already been designated as a branch factory.
Chen Lanjun did not argue for the title, but just smiled. Finally, she mentioned that in order to make accounting easier, she wanted to use different colors for packaging and calculate each separately.
The leader said: "It's just a small matter like this, as long as you entrepreneurs know the situation."
Not objecting is a good attitude.
Chen Lanjun calmed down a little, turned around and came up with a new plan and went to the Fourth Food Factory.
Tong Tong had already planned to come and had prepared a lot of excuses, but unexpectedly, Chen Lanjun did not argue with her about profit distribution at all, but came up with a new plan.
After a quick look, Tong Tong raised her head and said, "Sister Lan, you... don't have to be like this."
"Atong," Chen Lanjun looked at her, "I know you are under a lot of pressure, after all, sitting in this position."
"But if something like this happens again, we may not even be friends anymore."
Chen Lanjun sighed: "Before things get that bad, let's separate them gracefully, okay?"
There was a long silence.
Tong Tong was speechless. This proposal was not a disadvantage for her and the Fourth Food Factory at the moment.
In fact, there have been some voices in the factory that cannot be ignored, and they feel that cooperating with others to produce "sports power" is a disadvantage. After all, they are the ones who actually produce it, and Zhengmei Group does not do anything.
Tong Tong... was also affected by these voices.
She raised her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Lan."
"There's nothing to be sorry about," Chen Lanjun tapped her fingers on the document. "If I were in your position, I might do the same. After we separate, you can make a production plan according to your own ideas. I believe you can do a good job. But there is one thing I want to confirm with you in writing in advance."
She turned the page and pointed to a place and said, "'Sports Power' is our joint effort. We may have our own ideas on how to run it, but there is one thing - no matter what business strategy we use, we must not damage the brand image, such as changing the formula at will, selling inferior goods as good ones, or selling at super low prices."
"This is the bottom line. Once either party breaches the contract, the other party has the right to sue and be held accountable."
Tong Tong nodded: "This makes sense."
The two parties reached a preliminary agreement, and subsequently someone from each side came to contact them.
Pang Xiaopeng also took the opportunity to take away a group of people from the Fourth Food Factory, most of whom were her subordinates and informal employees.
When spring came and flowers bloomed, the two sides signed an agreement peacefully.
From now on, without damaging the interests of the "Sports Power" brand, each party will be responsible for its own gains and losses and profits.
The official seals of the Fourth Food Factory and Zhengmei Group were stamped side by side on the document, officially declaring the separation of the two companies' business strategies and finances.
Tong Tong personally opened the car door and helped Chen Lanjun get in.
"Sister Lan, whenever you want to come back and visit, just come. There will always be a table for you in the office."
Chen Lanjun smiled and did not respond, only saying: "I hope you can achieve great things and make your 'athletic power' stronger and stronger, and then I can take advantage of you."
"I will definitely try my best." Tong Tong said while moving her eyes.
Pang Xiaopeng, who was sitting in the back seat, was holding a pot of green plants that he had just moved out of the office. He had a cold expression on his face. When he noticed Tong Tong's gaze, he turned his head away, proving with his actions that he didn't want to look at her.
Ever since she came back with Chen Lanjun, she would never talk to Tong Tong unless it was business.
"Xiao Peng, you must take good care of yourself."
Without answering, Pang Xiaopeng refused to turn back.
Tong Tong had no choice but to say goodbye to Chen Lanjun: "Then, have a safe journey."
"Goodbye."
The car moved forward, and the building of the Fourth Food Factory outside the window gradually receded from sight.
Just as the factory building was about to completely disappear from sight, Pang Xiaopeng turned his neck and looked back.
A scene from the past flashed through her mind. It was a sunny day. The three of them stood at the door of the factory, enthusiastically discussing the future of "sports power", and the cicadas on the camphor tree were chirping loudly.
It didn’t seem like it took long.
They were obviously successful, achieved their original goals, and made money together, but they had to separate.
A tear fell on the green leaves of the potted plant in my arms.
Chen Lanjun looked at Pang Xiaopeng in the rearview mirror, sighed inaudibly, and said nothing.
The next stop is the Jinbu Industrial Park.
The factory has been renovated, the machines are in place, the workers have been hired, and the new packaging has been designed. It is a sea blue color that looks very thirst-quenching. To distinguish it, a few more words are added to the packaging can: "Sports Vitamin Drink".
Fengjun was waiting for them in the new factory.
“It’s all resolved.”
Chen Lanjun nodded: "At least for a few years, it will be relatively quiet."
If more than ten years have passed and the gap between the two sides is particularly large, there will probably still be disputes.
Chen Lanjun is not afraid of this. After more than ten years of hard work, if she has not built Zhengmei Group into an enterprise that can be valued by the local government, then she doesn't have to worry about disputes anymore. Losing is what she deserves.
She sat down in the armchair behind her desk. "Now, it's time to bring the sports vitamins to life."
