"President Gao, I thought you were hiding. Didn't you say you had something big planned? The New Year is almost here, so don't play us for a fool during the holidays. I'm waiting to see. Didn't you say you were going to call your Mr. Lu here?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was full of mockery.
“President Zhou, just wait and see. Why are you in such a hurry? How much market share does Uni-President have right now?” Gao Zhiwei said in a deep voice, “In mainland China, Jiaming Foods will always be an industry behemoth.”
"You're talking like nobody's innocent. What I'm really worried about is the board suddenly removing you. As for that founder Lu Feng, I'm curious to see what tricks he can pull."
"Since you're so curious, you should look up Jiafeng Electronics."
“If you’re not interested in the electronics industry, you should hurry up. Our headquarters has already said that some companies in mainland China are not competitive at all in terms of food safety standards, marketing, and product development. They’ve only been here for six months and they’ve already become like this. Before we came, you were hailed as a leader in the mainland food industry.”
"That's all there is to it!"
"Then just wait and see, take your time!" Gao Zhiwei said and hung up the phone.
Before Uni-President and Master Kong entered the market, Jiaming Foods was a direct competitor of mainland companies such as Baixiang and Wahaha. With the entry of these two companies, the pressure has increased sharply.
Among these companies, Wahaha mainly focuses on children's beverages, while the others have diversified businesses. In terms of development, Jiaming Foods has achieved the best results, and the companies often communicate with each other privately.
After some discussion, the conclusion reached was that they would first divide up a portion of Jiaming Foods' market and swallow it up, and then attack each other after everyone had gained a foothold. This could be considered a business alliance.
Six months ago, they originally planned to crush Jiaming Foods with a single blow. Unfortunately, they underestimated Lu Feng's scheme and Gao Zhiwei's abilities. They managed to hold on, and with the addition of a new vice president, Ding, who was more knowledgeable about marketing and the market, even though the two did not get along.
Vice President Ding is capable.
In an office building far away in Beijing, President Zhou listened to the dial tone on the phone, chuckled dismissively, and then dialed the number again.
"President Wu, I think it's hopeless over there. Jiaming Foods already has a huge market share, and its days are numbered." President Zhou leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed, and said, "That so-called founder is just a bluffer."
“I don’t know much about this place either. I asked a few people, and some had heard of him, but others had never heard of him. I guess he’s a nobody, otherwise he wouldn’t have lost control of Jiaming Foods.”
"Anyway, we can't celebrate the New Year. Headquarters is on high alert and wants more market share. How about this, if we can break ten million in monthly sales, all the things we discussed before will be off the table."
"Ten million in a single month? That's possible!"
The conversation on the phone was very relaxed, and sometimes the two would even banter with each other. The reason for this was that their development in mainland China had been very easy, and they had accumulated a lot of market experience in Southeast Asia.
The product's taste, market, and marketing strategies have all been refined through countless trials. Taking those things over would be a crushing victory for the underdeveloped mainland.
The next morning, Lu Feng woke up, got dressed, and moved around a bit, feeling a little sore from all the exertion.
"What time is it?" Jiang Xiaoyan mumbled incoherently.
It's 7:30.
"It's still dark. Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Xiaoyan looked up and asked.
"You've got to do all this, you liar, you tricked me into taking a shower." Lu Feng pinched her and said, "Get up, let's go downstairs to the tea restaurant for lunch."
"It's because we're going home. It won't be convenient to stay at home then, so I'm doing my homework in advance so you won't feel restless. Last year when I stayed at my house, my sister was still there..."
"Stop, stop, stop! It's all in the past!" Lu Feng hurriedly told her to stop.
"I'm going to sleep a little longer." Jiang Xiaoyan turned over and hugged Duoduo to continue sleeping.
Lu Feng went downstairs and found Gao Zhiwei already waiting downstairs, his eyes bloodshot, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.
"I can't interfere, you should understand," Lu Feng said helplessly.
"I just want to have a meal with you."
"Alright, it's on me."
The two arrived at the tea restaurant, in the same spot as before. It was here that Gao Zhiwei boarded the pirate ship. He just didn't expect that this pirate ship would grow bigger and bigger.
They ordered some pan-fried buns and rice noodle rolls, and the two of them ate their meal.
“They insulted you. Yesterday when I went back, those people called me, and I argued with them on the phone. They can insult me, but they can’t insult you!” Gao Zhiwei said firmly.
Lu Feng glanced at him and asked, "Are they insulting me, or are you insulting me?"
“How could I scold you? A month ago, I made a bold statement saying that I would come back to take charge. Those people had no idea who you were. You are the godfather of the food industry. They were so rude to me. I can’t even say what they said back then. Now everyone is watching the Spring Festival period. Seeing that I haven’t made any moves, they’re calling to laugh at you.” Gao Zhiwei said with his head down.
“Actually, you should study that ‘buy one get one free’ promotion. That marketing plan is excellent and will last you for several years,” Lu Feng advised.
“Those products are easily pirated, resulting in significant losses. We’ve added some anti-counterfeiting marks, but it doesn’t really make a difference!” Gao Zhiwei took a deep breath and sat down, saying, “As Jiaming Foods has developed to this point, I can maintain the market, but further expansion is extremely difficult.”
Lu Feng nodded and asked Gao Zhiwei to manage Jiamei Foods. He was originally tasked with maintaining the business; the eighteen factories were enough to last until 2000.
