Who is Zhao Jinshui? How could he not hear the malice in Lu Fan's voice? But the more he heard it, the more smug he became.
Why was Lu Fan's tone unfriendly? It was because his business was stalled! And the one responsible for all of this was Zhao Jinshui:
"Why are you so angry, Mr. Lu? We came here to rescue you from your predicament."
Seeing that Zhao Jinshui was indeed shameless and reckless, Lu Fan also laughed:
"What? Our factory has been ruined and its reputation is so bad that Shengjing still has the intention to acquire it?"
Zhao Jinshui grinned, showing his teeth.
"Even if your factory goes bankrupt, our Shengjing Company has the means to bring it back to life."
"Boss Lu is a young man who has never been in a position of power, so he doesn't know what it means to fulfill one's responsibilities in a position of power."
"Some things just need to be handled by professionals! Boss Lu is not good at management, but our Shengjing is good at it."
Wang Wei, standing behind Lu Fan, turned pale with anger.
"Hmph, even if we go bankrupt, we won't let you get away with it." Zhao Jinshui sneered and glanced at Wang Wei.
"What do you know, little brat? Do you have any say in this factory? Whether it's sold or not isn't up to you."
They figured Wang Wei was someone with little say and who wasn't exactly a stunning beauty.
Zhao Jinshui's attention had never been on her from beginning to end. Now, staring at Lu Fan, he grinned.
"Our Shengjing Energy's boss, Mr. Lu, knows absolutely nothing about this. Let me put it this way, in the current situation, it's nothing at all for our company."
"In fact, we could say that as long as Mr. Lu is willing to sell, we can immediately change your factory's current attitude after we acquire it."
Chen Da, the head of the business department, didn't have a good impression of Zhao Jinshui. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said to Lu Fan:
"If an acquisition doesn't work, an investment is also an option."
Zhao Jinshui glared at Chen Da, thinking that this guy was still as unhelpful as ever.
I always liked to contradict myself when I was at the company, and I still do it now that I'm working outside.
He knew perfectly well why Chen Da was doing this; it was because the business department had attracted a lot of investment and doubled the company's investment profits.
They felt that Chen Da should be the marketing director. Didn't he realize that having money and then wanting power was too easy? As a result, the two of them grew increasingly annoyed with each other.
Wang Wei looked at the two suspiciously, her gaze sweeping over Zhao Jinshui and Chen Da: "Investment is also acceptable?"
Lu Fan didn't speak, but Chen Da felt he had a chance and hurriedly said, "Yes, but our company needs to take the lead, so we must have more than half of the shares! We also need the complete production line, master craftsmen, and brewing recipe."
Wang Wei was taken aback. If we're talking about ruthlessness, Zhao Jinshui was nothing compared to Chen Da, who was truly ruthless.
We need the recipe, experienced chefs, and a complete production line.
This has become the lifeline for the soy sauce factory's survival.
What's the difference between this and an acquisition? It's just a choice between a long-term pain or a short-term pain in death.
Chen Da looked at Lu Fan, not forgetting to make empty promises to justify his actions:
"Of course, we can't just take this from you for free. Mr. Lu will naturally continue to hold shares, and he can also manage the factory if he wants."
"But the master craftsman cannot leave the company for the time being, and the recipe must not be leaked. Otherwise, I doubt Mr. Lu could afford the penalty for breach of contract."
They were practically telling Lu Fan to work for them for free and stay in the factory to be enslaved.
Lu Fan realized that this group of people not only had their eyes on the soy sauce factory, but also on the recipe.
This recipe enabled the old soy sauce factory to soar to new heights, surpassing numerous other businesses to become the leading enterprise in the country.
Of course, he has something special about him.
It's wishful thinking for Shengjing Company to think it can figure out the formula's proportions just by looking at the products.
If it were really that easy to crack, would the Lu's Soy Sauce brand have risen to prominence?
The effects of years of cellar aging are different from those of laboratory data analysis.
Just as Lu Fan was about to speak, a commotion broke out in the corridor outside. It was the old employees who had heard the news and rushed over to support their boss.
Wang Wei glanced outside and whispered to Lu Fan:
“Our experienced workers and the factory employees are well aware of Shengjing Company’s plans.”
"It must have been the receptionist and the security department who let it slip and told everyone."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhao Jinshui and the others opposite her with a mixture of hatred and anger, then said softly to Lu Fan:
"President Lu, everyone is just worried about the factory and about you. We really don't have any bad intentions."
This was because they were afraid Lu Fan would find his subordinates difficult to manage, that they would cause trouble at the slightest provocation, and that he would take his anger out on the workers.
But Lu Fan was not the kind of person who was impotent and furious, only taking his anger out on his own people.
He glanced at Wang Wei indifferently, ignoring Zhao Jinshui and the others.
"I'll go out and check. It's not a big deal if the dog gets hurt, but it's not worth it if our own people get hurt."
Lu Fan's words were harsh, but the logic was sound.
Hearing that Lu Fan cared more about his factory employees, Wang Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
