"Who knows? But it doesn't look like it'll work. It's just making a big fuss. I heard the local TV station is going to interview us." The driver shared what he knew.
"Let him be smug for a few days," Ren Qianbo said as he got into the car.
Lu Feng has indeed caused a great stir in the local business community. His journey from having nothing to where he is now is remarkable, let alone the large-scale Jiaming.
Someone kept a record of his expenses, one after another. As for the glass factory incident, it was impossible for it to happen again. Lu Feng had grown up and everyone with a bit of influence had heard about it.
If you want to scam people, you have to go to other places to do it.
Today is the founding day, and Jiang Xiaoyan specially took some time to bring Duoduo to see it. When she saw such a big factory and so many people, she was still a little dumbfounded.
In her eyes, Lu Feng was still that good-for-nothing. Two hundred thousand yuan was impactful back then, but not as impactful as it is now.
"Mr. Lu, your office phone is ringing. It's from the newspaper!"
"Let him call back in a bit." Lu Feng said, then looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Come in, what are you standing there for?"
As Lu Feng spoke, he picked up Duo Duo and carried her into the office, placing her on the table. There was some food available during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which he then handed to her.
"It's almost like an electronics factory," Jiang Xiaoyan said softly, looking around. "It's like a dream."
“Your electronics factory is a joint public-private enterprise, I can’t compare. Quit your job, come here, I’ll pay you a salary!” Lu Feng joked, “You can be my secretary!”
"With my clumsy hands, you call me a secretary?" Jiang Xiaoyan sat down and said, "You do a good job. I don't know anything about these things. I suddenly realized that all I can do is wash clothes and cook."
"What kind of talk is that? You can even tidy up the house? Enough already, you don't need to know everything from astronomy to geography!"
Lu Feng could sense that she was somewhat flustered. Seeing all this, it seemed that the distance between them had widened, and she had to adapt, otherwise they would have to part ways.
The phone on the table rang, and Lu Feng answered it, saying, "Jiaming Foods office, who is it?"
"Hello, I'm from the local newspaper. I'd like to interview you. Are you free now?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sure, I'm free right now!"
After exchanging a few words and hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him and said, "Is something wrong? Maybe I should go to work!"
"Don't worry, we'll produce some snacks soon, and you can try them!"
When Duoduo heard the word "snacks," her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Dad, do they make snacks here?"
"Yes, you can eat as much as you want. Dad treats you well, right?"
"Daddy!!" Duoduo cried out happily, burying her face in Lu Feng's arms, and said, "I want to stay with Daddy."
The interviewers arrived quickly. Lu Feng was definitely a hot topic right now. Jiang Xiaoyan took Duo Duo to the next room. Lu Feng straightened his clothes and looked at the bespectacled young woman in her late twenties across from him.
"Alright, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We also hope you'll help us spread the word," Lu Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, I have heard of your name before and wanted to interview you, but I never had the chance. As far as I know, you were penniless just a few months ago."
Lu Feng nodded, clearly indicating that the other party had done a lot of investigation.
"Your speed in turning your fortunes around is truly astounding. This morning I interviewed Mr. Ren, the owner of Wanyuan Foods, and he said that your rapid rise to prominence was due to rather dirty methods."
Lu Feng looked at her. She actually interviewed Ren Qianbo this morning?
This is clearly just stirring up trouble!
"You have quite the nerve. Mr. Ren is busy with his divorce, yet he still has time to give interviews. That's not easy. As for the methods, all I know is that my machine was smashed, and then there was the canned food trade. Now, some factories are still operating, and only his company is left. I don't know who's dirty."
“Wanyuan already has a local children’s food business. There are rumors that when you chose to enter the children’s food industry again, it was to target Ren Qianbo. What is your response?”
Lu Feng laughed and said, "Don't stir up trouble. I'm a good friend of President Ren. He's helped me a lot. As for making children's food, it's mainly because the profit is high and the market prospects are good. You always talk about Ren Qianbo, so I'll also wish him a happy divorce!"
The newspaper interview lasted an hour, followed by a television interview. Lu Feng appeared remarkably natural and composed in front of the camera, continuously introducing his factory and saying to the camera, "Jiamei is born for children's health."
The host didn't know why he said that, little did he know that Lu Feng had already set the tone for this company from the very beginning: he wanted to use the word "health" to destroy Wanyuan.
At six o'clock in the evening, the first batch of snacks came off the production line. A few simple samples were placed on the desk: hawthorn candy, corn sausage, crunchy beans, and small steamed buns.
Wanyuan makes all of these items, and they sell very well; they are considered its main products.
Big Head popped a few small steamed buns into his mouth, nodded, and said, "Delicious! I remember the small steamed buns in Wanyuan were five cents a big bag!"
Lu Feng handed the motorcycle keys to Han Dong and said, "Buy these products from Wanyuan, let me take a look!"
A dozen minutes later, Han Dong returned carrying a plastic bag. The bag contained loose hawthorn candy for one cent each, regular-sized corn sausages for three cents each, ten crunchy beans for two cents a bag, and large bags of small steamed buns for five cents each.
This packaging is very strategic. It either makes you not buy it at all, or you buy a lot of it. There is no choice, so sales naturally go up. Consumers are forced to make choices, especially when children cry to buy it, and parents have no choice.
“Let’s do it the same way he does. He’s already calculated the profit margins, so we can just copy him!” Big Head said cleverly.
I think it's a good idea!
“Sure, we’ll go bankrupt in ten days,” Lu Feng said ruthlessly.
How could that be?
The two were somewhat dissatisfied.
“Do you know about differentiated competition? They’ve been operating for a long time, and their brand has been established. If you go to their territory and compete with them, you’re just asking for trouble.” Lu Feng shook his head and said, “We have to do the opposite.”
The two had no idea what Lu Feng was thinking. They had no knowledge of consumer psychology whatsoever. Lu Feng had only received a few days of specialized training in this area in his previous life, which was called pricing psychology!
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Lu Feng suddenly looked up and said with a smile, "We seem to be missing a general manager, right? We'll discuss this topic when the general manager arrives tomorrow."
General manager?
"You mean Gao Zhiwei?" Da Tou asked.
Lu Feng nodded and said, "I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot he was still waiting at the hotel. Now that the factory is up and running, I should tell him."
"Aren't you afraid he'll come and burn the factory down?" Han Dong asked with a troubled expression. "You tricked him into quitting his job."
"What do you mean by lying? Can't you speak properly? We made him quit so he could get a better job. Okay, that's all for today, time to go home!"
Lu Feng stood up and thought Han Dong's words made sense. Should he get a steel plate inserted into his body tomorrow?
