Mayor Yang was slightly surprised. "One month? Xiao Hai, this is no joke. How confident are you?"
Zhao Xiaohai said firmly, "Mayor Yang, I'm absolutely confident. I've already secured the equipment, and the seasoning package is under intensive development. As long as the factory building is finalized and the workers are trained, it's completely feasible. Furthermore, I'll arrange for a professional team to be stationed in Greentown to assist in advancing all work and ensure that production begins on schedule."
Mayor Yang pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Okay, Xiaohai. I see that you're sincere and your plan is feasible. On behalf of the Greentown Municipal Government, I agree in principle to this cooperation plan. However, there are still many specific details that need to be discussed. We will arrange for the relevant departments to liaise with you to finalize the contract terms and other matters. I hope this cooperation will go smoothly and contribute to Greentown's economic development."
Zhao Xiaohai said excitedly, "Mayor Yang, thank you so much for your support! I will do my best and work closely with relevant government departments to make this project a success. I believe our joint venture will be a success."
"Okay, that's settled then. If you have any questions, feel free to communicate," said Mayor Yang.
"Okay, Mayor Yang. Thank you again!" Zhao Xiaohai hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing his phone call with Mayor Yang, Zhao Xiaohai leaned back in his office chair with a smile on his face.
This phone call means that the goodwill expressed by both parties has been accepted by each other. After some twists and turns, both sides have found the right step and laid the foundation for further cooperation.
Zhao Xiaohai knew clearly that the factory established in cooperation with Greenland was only positioned as a production base.
Brand and sales channels, the two core elements of business, must never be allowed to get involved by factories. Only in this way can he firmly control the entire business layout.
The next morning, he called together the company's core team members to discuss the follow-up matters of cooperation with Greenland.
Zhao Xiaohai sat at the head of the conference table, his expression serious and focused. "As everyone knows, we've reached a preliminary consensus with Greentown regarding the joint venture factory. But everyone should be clear: this factory is only our production base. Control over the brand and sales channels must remain in our hands."
Li Ming, who is in charge of marketing operations, spoke first. "Mr. Zhao, I understand what you mean. The brand is the soul of our products, and the sales channel is the bridge connecting the market and the products. Once the factory controls these two aspects, we will be in a passive position."
Zhao Xiaohai nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over the crowd. "That's right. In our cooperation with Greentown, we must remain vigilant at all times. In all cooperation agreements, the ownership of the brand and sales channels must be clearly defined. We must allow this production base to focus on production and ensure product quality and output."
Lawyer Zhang, who's in charge of legal affairs, pushed his glasses up and said seriously, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry. When drafting the cooperation agreement, I'll focus on setting clauses in this area to ensure our rights are not infringed. For example, I'll clearly stipulate that the brand's intellectual property rights belong to our company, and the factory is not allowed to use the brand for any commercial activities without authorization. As for sales channels, the scope and method of the factory's participation will be strictly limited."
Zhao Xiaohai glanced at Lawyer Zhang with satisfaction. "Very good, Lawyer Zhang. You're an expert in this area, and you must ensure that nothing goes wrong. In addition, we must quickly establish a supervisory team to monitor the factory's production progress and product quality, while ensuring that our control over our brand and sales channels is not interfered with."
Supervisor Wang, who was in charge of production management, asked, "Mr. Zhao, how do we arrange the personnel for the supervision team?"
Zhao Xiaohai pondered for a moment and said, "We'll select some experienced and responsible employees from within our company, and we can also invite some external professionals to join. This team will be directly responsible to me and report to me on the factory's situation regularly."
Li Ming continued, "Mr. Zhao, we already have preliminary plans for brand promotion and sales channel expansion. For the Japanese market, we will develop a unique brand marketing strategy based on local culture and consumer habits. Regarding sales channels, in addition to partnering with large supermarket chains, we will also consider expanding into emerging channels such as convenience stores."
Zhao Xiaohai gave a look of approval. "Not bad, Lao Li. We must fully utilize our brand and sales channel advantages to quickly expand into the Japanese market. However, as we move forward, we must ensure that our progress matches the factory's production schedule and that there are no product supply gaps."
The meeting lasted several hours and everyone had in-depth discussions on various details.
Although the cooperation with Greenland is an important step forward, to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire business plan, careful control is still needed at every stage.
Controlling the brand and sales channels is the key to his success in this business game. Only in this way can he stay firmly on top of the game.
