Zhao Jinfang looked Zhao Jinshui up and down, then remained silent.
After a long minute, Zhao Jinfang gave a sarcastic smile and said to Zhao Jinshui in a cool tone:
"Alright, I have other plans for this. You can go and do other things." Zhao Jinshui felt that her older sister's gaze was frightening, but she couldn't figure out if she had said something wrong that upset her sister.
However, upon hearing Zhao Jinfang's words, he realized that he wouldn't have to take the blame for this matter. Immediately, all his doubts vanished. He happily bid farewell to Zhao Jinfang and left the office.
While Zhao Jinshui was figuring out how to shift the blame, Lu Fan's expansion and construction had already begun in full swing.
Because several product production lines need to be set up, even though part of the office building in the factory area has already been requisitioned.
It's still not enough.
At the suggestion of Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang, Lu Fan turned his attention to other industrial plants in the industrial park.
Because this industrial park is located in the suburbs, there used to be many old factories there.
Now, many factories have either closed down or been abandoned, resulting in a lot of vacant factory buildings.
Other businesses, seeing the sluggish atmosphere here, feel it's bad luck; sometimes, business people just need to have a good omen.
Therefore, this industrial park is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Now, it's actually benefiting Lu Fan and his group.
Assistant Xiao Zhang contacted Zheng Jiaxian, the person in charge of the industrial park, in advance.
Zheng Jiaxian didn't know much about Lu Fan, but he had heard quite a few rumors about him recently.
Knowing that Lu Fan had some connections with the municipal government, Zheng Jiaxian spoke to Lu Fan with a slightly obsequious tone:
"President Lu is truly a young talent. I never imagined that he could complete the expansion plan under such a passive situation at the soy sauce factory. I really admire him."
A few words of flattery, though they came from Zheng Jiaxian's heart.
After exchanging a few polite words with Zheng Jiaxian, Lu Fan led Xiao Zhang to continue inspecting the factory buildings in the industrial park.
The one next to the soy sauce factory was the best. Lu Fan wandered around inside and out for a while and was quite satisfied.
Anyway, apart from the distance, everything else needs to be renovated, so it doesn't matter to Lu Fan.
So he didn't hesitate and decided to buy the two factory buildings he had his eye on:
"I wonder if Mr. Zheng could offer a discount, a good price?"
Lu Fan is rich, but he is also very particular about etiquette when it comes to business, after all, his money didn't come from thin air.
Zheng Jiaxian quickly waved his hand: "No, no, Mr. Lu, I also have a family to support and feed."
"This price is really not high. Go out and ask around, where else can you find property rights at such a low price?"
Lu Fan went through a perfunctory negotiation with Zheng Jiaxian, then dropped the matter and signed the contract with great satisfaction.
This wasn't their first collaboration, so the verification of various qualifications wasn't too complicated.
Lu Fan's money arrived quickly, and Zheng Jiaxian didn't waste any time with him; he simply handed over the keys and that was it.
Just before the end of the workday, Wang Wei appeared in Lu Fan's office, bringing devastating news:
"It seems that the plan to bring brands into large shopping malls, which we have been pushing forward, will have to be shelved."
Wang Wei sighed. To be honest, this was a manifestation of her incompetence. She herself felt both frustrated and angry.
"We had already agreed to sign the contract, but then the other party's attitude changed completely."
Not only was the contract cancelled, but she was also treated with extreme indifference and coldness.
Wang Wei directly stated that there were other matters at play, but several liaisons she had cultivated relationships with during this period were now avoiding her like the plague.
Seeing her dejected look, Lu Fan didn't criticize her.
After all, with Shengjing Company blocking the upstream supply chain, it's simply a pipe dream for the entire domestic market to break free from their blockade.
Wang Wei was just a little distressed about the small gifts she gave out when doing business:
"They say you're beholden to those who take bribes, but I see they're incredibly tough!"
"Mr. Lu, do you think this is another case of Shengjing's people pulling strings?" Lu Fan shrugged. "Besides them, can you find any other company that harbors such hostility towards a small soy sauce factory like ours?"
Such a relentless pursuit and blockade is truly unbecoming of a large corporation. Only Shengjing Company seems to be a suitable candidate.
Having received Lu Fan's affirmation, Wang Wei became even more indignant: "Why bother? This kind of behavior is really disgraceful."
"President Lu, our products are definitely fine. You wait here, I'll continue to work on sales. I don't believe that every company in the country has to listen to Shengjing Company's orders."
Seeing the fierce determination Wang Wei displayed, Lu Fan still tried to persuade her, fearing she might go down a dark path:
"There's no need to rush to do business, since our lawsuit with Shengjing is about to begin anyway."
"When the reputation reverses, that's when we can launch a counterattack. Your current haste is just a waste of time."
She's gotten two or three shades darker during this time, and she's become so thin that it's almost heartbreaking to see her like that.
