In the afternoon, the finance department calculated the relevant profit margins. Currently, Jiaming Foods has the largest market share in three provinces and the highest winning rate, which is between 60% and 70%.
If the winning rate is reduced to 50%, based on the current market sales volume, the monthly profit is expected to be over five million. If the winning rate in other markets is reduced, ten million a month is not a problem.
This afternoon, I had several meetings with the finance, marketing, and marketing planning departments. From risk aversion to the possibility of Wahaha's attack, we finally finalized the decision: we will officially start reducing the odds of winning on Children's Day, June 1st, and begin to make a profit.
There are risks involved. If Wahaha fights back relentlessly, Jiaming Foods will quickly lose its dominant market position in the short term. Although the odds of winning the prize will be reduced by 10% to 20%, users will feel the difference very clearly.
If Jiaming Foods wants to make a profit, it must settle with Wahaha. With so many lawsuits piling up, the two sides really should settle. However, how to settle and who should back down is a complex issue.
If things go wrong, Jiaming Foods' reputation in the business world will be affected, and what is needed now is a dignified ending.
As evening fell, Lu Feng looked at the row of old white poplars in the factory. They had witnessed the sugar factory's collapse and the rise of Jiaming Foods. A gentle breeze blew, giving him a sense of being in another world.
The setting sun cast long shadows as Lu Feng strolled along, followed by Gao Zhiwei and a group of department managers. Despite his young age, Lu Feng already possessed the air of an experienced factory manager.
"If we have enough funds next year, we can buy this place." Lu Feng looked around at the environment, which had changed so much. It used to be overgrown with weeds.
“We’ve already been in talks about this, but it’s state-owned assets, which is a lot of trouble. After the sugar factory went bankrupt, there was no one left in this area. But after Jiaming Foods took over, small restaurants, convenience stores, and repair shops have sprung up.” Gao Zhiwei sighed, “I haven’t been here as long as you have, but the changes are really huge.”
"It will be even bigger. Jiaming Foods has already landed safely."
“Absolutely safe. Even if Wahaha wants to fight, we can afford it.” Gao Zhiwei recalled last year, and after a long silence, said, “You won the bet.”
"You have to be willing to gamble to win. We'll develop steadily for a year, then raise funds and start forming a group. In the future, I'll just be a shareholder of Jiaming Foods; you'll still be the one running it. I told you before, I won't let you lose more money than you did at Wahaha." Lu Feng finished speaking and continued strolling.
Gao Zhiwei gave a bitter smile. Now, those words sounded very domineering, but only he knew that Lu Feng had been lying to him at the time.
In the evening, Lu Feng picked up Duo Duo, carried her to the passenger seat, and drove home. After dinner, he mentioned his business trip to Jiang Xiaoyan, who seemed a little unhappy.
Lu Feng could sense that Jiang Xiaoyan didn't like him being away on business trips for too long this year, and he had been traveling around most of the time since the Lunar New Year. Last time, Jiang Xiaoyan was a little jealous and said that he spent more time with Zhang Fengxia than with her.
"Let's leave in a few days. I think you should find something to do too?" Lu Feng looked at her and said, "What do those ladies do?"
"Traveling, playing mahjong, dancing disco, and picking up guys." Jiang Xiaoyan looked up at Lu Feng and asked, "Which one do you want me to learn?"
“Let’s learn something good, something inspiring, like studying or starting a business. You can’t travel anyway, you have to pick up Duoduo from school every day. Otherwise, I’ll take you on a business trip, you can work and play at the same time, wouldn’t that be great?” Lu Feng said with a smile.
Duo Duo was a little unhappy when she heard this. She looked up and said, "Dad, do you think I'm in the way?"
"You're only just realizing it?"
Duo Duo made a face at him and continued eating. Jiang Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and said, "I don't like traveling either. We're all on Earth, what's the difference? I've seen it all on TV, so I don't know what to do."
"Let's make cosmetics, like lipsticks or something," Lu Feng said casually. He didn't expect Jiang Xiaoyan to make any money; he just hoped she wouldn't focus too much attention on him.
Whether she can get pregnant is unknown, but Lu Feng is truly doomed.
"I don't understand this!"
"Learn slowly, from product design to the market, learn little by little, and see if you are interested."
Jiang Xiaoyan was already beautiful and loved dressing up. Although she was reluctant to buy expensive clothes, she was still happy to wear them when Lu Feng bought them for her. Recently, her makeup has become more and more exquisite, and she is definitely a hot mom.
"You can give it a try!"
Lu Feng already had a plan in mind. He instructed his men to help her assemble a team and to teach her the basics of cosmetics. It wouldn't cost much. Women can't be idle. Once they are, all sorts of rumors will creep into their ears, and they'll start to overthink.
A few days ago, when she was nestled in Lu Feng's arms, she mentioned that some wealthy women told her that which of these rich men didn't have several women outside the marriage? If you can't give birth to a son, you won't have much status in the family. A mother's status depends on her son, which has been the case since ancient times.
After dinner, Jiang Xiaoyan went to wash the dishes, while Lu Feng obediently went to take a shower. Since it was only the last few days, he decided to take the initiative to avoid making her suspicious. After all, it didn't matter if a man was a little tired, it was for the sake of the family.
It was 11 p.m. when Duoduo finally fell asleep. Jiang Xiaoyan entered the bedroom without turning on the light, climbed onto the bed, and whispered, "Are you asleep?"
"I'm asleep, sleeping so soundly, don't touch me!"
"You can still hear me even when you're asleep? Are you disgusted with me?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, sitting on the bed.
Lu Feng hurriedly sat up, threw off the covers, and without saying a word, pushed her down onto the bed.
