Not only did Dayong and the other three families refuse to pay the penalty for breach of contract, they even wanted to demand compensation from Lu Fan and his group.
Wang Wei was furious: "Where do they get the nerve? It's one thing to confiscate our goods, but they're not even going to pay us back, and now they want us to compensate them? Dream on!"
Isn't this just defaulting on a debt?
This is absolutely outrageous!
Lu Fan guessed that he had rejected Shengjing Company's acquisition offer outright.
That had already angered the other party.
Although Howard later came over to persuade Lu Fan, hoping to facilitate the cooperation.
However, he had already resigned and had no idea about Shengjing Company's follow-up arrangements for this matter.
Now that the arrangements have been made, it seems they never intended to seriously discuss cooperation with you.
They either give you money, or they slap you in the face and then give you more money. From beginning to end, they use power and money to oppress you, and they don't give you a chance to resist.
If it were any other company or boss, such a combination of tactics would first tie up hundreds of millions of dollars in working capital, and then ruin their reputation.
Ha, not even a month, just a few days is enough to bring your entire industry to a halt.
Even if the matter is investigated and clarified afterward, what good will it do?
Your product's reputation is already so widespread that people's memories of it are stuck there. How do you expect to turn things around?
The reason Lu Fan didn't continue using the old soy sauce factory's signboard was not only because of the Wang family, but also because of this.
The old soy sauce factory ruined its own reputation. But now, its reputation has been tarnished by slander and framing.
Just as Lu Fan was pondering the next steps of Shengjing Company.
Receptionist Xiao Li called the office internal line:
"President Lu, Chief Liu from the security department sent word that people from Shengjing Company are here again."
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow and said curiously:
"Howard? Didn't he already leave Shengjing Company?"
"What brings him here this time?"
Right now, their soy sauce factory and Shengjing Company are having a big fight, so Lu Fan really has no mood to see Howard again.
But the receptionist, Xiao Li, said that the person who came was not the foreigner at all.
"They were the same group that came to discuss the acquisition last time, but the foreigner wasn't at the head of the group."
"Mr. Lu, should we let them in?"
With just a word from Lu Fan, Xiao Li would inform Liu Nian and the security department.
It's possible that these "culprits" will be dealt a severe blow and kicked out of the factory.
With Xiao Li's reminder, Lu Fan finally remembered who the person was.
It was the same group of people Shengjing Company sent to negotiate the acquisition. There was a very arrogant sales manager named Zhao Jinshui, and some people from the business department. They were all junior executives.
This time, it's just that Howard isn't there.
Wang Wei muttered softly:
"They still dare to come knocking after we've already dealt them such a blow?" Zhou Lingling was also furious.
"Mr. Lu, I think they're up to no good, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken. Perhaps we shouldn't meet them?"
Lu Fan waved his hand, revealing his gleaming white teeth:
"That won't do, we have to be friendly, right?"
Then he told Xiao Li and the others to let them pass:
"Let them come up. I want to see what other tricks these guys can pull."
The people who came were indeed Zhao Jinshui's group.
However, this time the team leader was someone surnamed Zhao.
Upon seeing Lu Fan, he grinned smugly and said:
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"Things haven't been easy lately, have they? Hehe!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, scanned Zhao Jinshui from head to toe, and chuckled:
"Wow, you got promoted? That's unusual."
In short, Zhao Jinshui was so offended that he turned pale.
Lu Fan's factory area has been having a tough time lately.
But Zhao Jinshui's life wasn't exactly perfect either.
Relying on his sister Zhao Jinfang's influence, he smoothly rose to the position of marketing director after Howard's departure.
Unfortunately, Howard had an impressive resume back then, which enabled him to keep the marketing department, full of hidden talents, and the board members from all sides in check.
What other skills does Zhao Jinshui have besides nepotism?
As a result, he was sidelined after his promotion and was even sabotaged several times by his colleagues in the same position, or even those in lower positions.
After suffering several major setbacks, Zhao Jinshui finally learned a few tricks from his older sister, Zhao Jinfang.
All his anger was vented on dealing with Lu's soy sauce factory.
It can be said that the Zhao siblings made a great contribution.
Now that Zhao Jinshui has gained the upper hand, he has once again brought his team to put pressure on Lu Fan:
"This is our business department head, who is also in charge of the upcoming acquisition."
Lu Fan scoffed: "I've already said, there's no need to discuss the acquisition anymore. If there's nothing else, please leave."
Before Zhao Jinshui's face turned completely gloomy, Lu Fan added sarcastically, "By the way, don't come again in the future. I've found that you guys are really shameless. You can't even understand human language after being refused once or twice."
Lu Fan wouldn't treat Zhao Jinshui and his group with any kindness.
