Gu Ruan explained to Huo Linshan:
"What gets out is the news that Baiyue and Guangyuan have joined forces, not that Guangyuan is withdrawing from the domestic market, or that Baiyue only wants a portion of its stores."
Huo Linshan suddenly realized that this was Gu Ruan's plan.
He couldn't help but smile approvingly:
"You, Gu Ruan, truly live up to your reputation as the president candidate I carefully selected."
"You didn't disappoint me, well done."
After offering a few words of praise, he began to ponder who Guangyuan and Baiyue's number one enemy was.
Gu Ru'an was much more perceptive of the mayor's political direction than the chairman, who was rarely at the company.
Seeing that he closed his eyes and remained silent, they guessed what Huo Linshan was thinking.
Gu Ruan quickly reiterated his loyalty and competence:
"Chairman, you just need to keep the Jiang Group people calm." "Leave the rest to me."
He has already decided on a candidate.
Huiduoduo, headquartered in Harbour City, sees Baiyue as a major rival.
Putting aside everything else, just consider the several branches that Baiyue has occupied, including Harbour City and Huiduoduo!
In addition, there are chain supermarkets such as Wuduomei and Darun, which are in the lower middle of the ranking.
Gu Ruan laughed as she talked about it:
"Once the news of Baiyue and Guangyuan joining forces gets out, these supermarkets are probably going to have a headache."
The shops that Lu Fan has his eye on, these other shops might also be interested in.
When the time comes, whoever offers the highest price will be the one to whom Shengjing will sell Guangyuan.
Perhaps we could even sell Guangyuan as a whole package.
To stop Baiyue's further expansion, these supermarket chains will definitely unite like never before, forcing Baiyue back to its original market share.
Huo Linshan was indeed very satisfied with Gu Ruan's plan, and he nodded to the latter with a smile:
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, let's make a small profit right away, and don't offend anyone we shouldn't because of this."
The person we shouldn't offend is naturally Lu Fan, the head of the Jiang Group.
Shengjing Company has always been known for its domineering and ruthless style of doing things.
But that's because they know who's easy to mess with and who's not, and Lu Fan is clearly someone they can't and dare not mess with.
Gu Ruan accepted the task and repeatedly assured:
"Chairman, please rest assured, I will personally oversee the situation, and nothing will go wrong."
He volunteered and made a pledge, which made Huo Linshan even more impressed.
"Okay, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits once it's done."
The entire negotiation was facilitated by Gu Ru'an. Lu Fan didn't rush in, just waiting to see what Shengjing Company was up to.
When Huo Linshan arrived at the office building in the Fanyue Shopping Plaza with Gu Ruan, Lu Fan's assistant was responsible for receiving them.
"President Gu, Chairman Huo, this way please. Our President Lu is already waiting for you both in the reception room."
This lukewarm attitude caused Huo Linshan to let out a soft snort. Gu Ru'an immediately bowed and scraped closer to the old man, whispering:
"Chairman, the people we arranged are nearby."
Huo Linshan nodded, glancing around casually.
Inside the reception room, Lu Fan chuckled and pointed at the two people, saying, "Did you see that? They've been plotting against me from the very beginning."
Li Tian raised an eyebrow and said, puzzled:
"Then why are you still playing with them? Aren't you afraid of really messing things up?"
Lu Fan chuckled: "I've had a lot more free time lately, so I wanted to see how the other party would end up shooting themselves in the foot."
"This is also a way of getting some interest back for what happened before, otherwise they would really think I'm a pushover."
Li Tian asked curiously, "Shengjing still doesn't know about your relationship with Lu's Food Factory?"
Lu Fan shrugged: "Probably, otherwise everyone would be a little wary."
It's nothing like it is now.
Gu Ru'an's people have already taken photos of Shengjing Company contacting Fanyue Real Estate Company.
He gestured to the people on this side from a distance.
Gu Ruan turned to Huo Linshan and reported:
"Chairman, you can talk freely from here on out. We've already accomplished what we came here for today."
Huo Linshan was very satisfied and said in a low voice with a smile:
"Alright, let's put on an act when we go in, so as not to leave any traces and get discovered by the other side."
Gu Ru'an nodded repeatedly, practically fawning over him as if he were receiving a royal decree. When Huo Linshan entered the reception room, he immediately spotted Lu Fan.
He complimented the young man's good looks, but a bitter feeling flashed through his heart. The young man was about the same age as his son.
But Lu Fan is already the leader of the domestic economy, but what about Huo Linshan's son?
He's over thirty and still traveling the world. Forget about doing real business, Huo Linshan should be thankful he hasn't squandered all his family fortune.
The son at home is disappointing, while the son outside is ambitious. Huo Linshan is in a dilemma.
If only all sons I had were like Lu Fan.
Although she thought this way, her plan to trick Lu Fan never stopped:
"President Lu? It's true what Xiao Gu said, he's quite capable at such a young age!"
Huo Linshan joked and exchanged pleasantries with Lu Fan.
Lu Fan offered a few compliments and then invited him and Gu Ru'an to sit down.
