After exchanging a few polite words, the other party hung up. If Gao Zhiwei had answered the phone, he would have been completely finished today. Last time, Zhang Fengxia had secretly helped him, but this time, she might not give Lu Feng any face.
The business market is always like this: small money fears big money, and big money fears capital. Right now, the shareholders of Jiaming Foods dare not offend Lu Feng, firstly because Lu Feng is capable, and secondly because Lu Feng is rich. Once uncontrollable factors really arise, these people will definitely call Lu Feng every day demanding money, and may even squeeze him out of the board of directors.
Around 4 PM, the first truckload of packaged products was brought into the factory area. Everyone unloaded the goods together. What used to take several hours to unload a truckload of goods now only took ten minutes.
Lu Feng went downstairs to the production workshop, where two assembly lines were full of people. As the semi-automated assembly lines sealed the packaging bags, a female worker skillfully picked up five bags and stuffed them into a cardboard box.
People nearby had already started sealing the full boxes with tape, and dozens of boxes of finished products had already piled up next to them.
Gao Zhiwei, Deputy General Manager Ding, Factory Director Li, and a whole bunch of workshop managers—today's production workshop had the most leaders of any day.
"Food safety must be guaranteed. This is of utmost importance. Let me tell you, if even one incident occurs due to food safety, it will cause a company to decline significantly in market competition, or even lead to its complete demise," Lu Feng solemnly instructed.
"I know, our food safety standards are currently the highest in the country," Gao Zhiwei said.
Lu Feng nodded, pointed to the finished products next to him, and said, "Open a box."
"Why open a box?" Director Li asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Eat!" Lu Feng said to everyone, "To run a food company, you must be prepared to eat until you're sick of it, adjust the flavors at any time, and at the same time discover local snacks, research and develop them, because what is local is national, and what is ethnic is global."
Factory Director Li felt acid reflux at the mere mention of instant noodles; he hadn't eaten since Lu Feng arrived.
After opening a box, Lu Feng glanced at the label inside the bag, chewed on some instant noodles, and wandered around the workshop. He then turned to Gao Zhiwei behind him and said, "The board of directors called and said they want to fire you."
"Huh?" Gao Zhiwei was startled. If he were fired this time, he might really be out of a job.
"I got rid of him. Just focus on your work. This time I'm filling the hole for you in the summer. Don't come to me with any more messy things in the future. I still have a lot of things to deal with," Lu Feng said casually.
"President Lu, how about I become your vice president?" Gao Zhiwei said shamelessly. "I'll go to Jiafeng Electronics to work in marketing and assist Zhu Lidong."
"Think about something serious, stop thinking about those other things. You're not suited for Jiafeng Electronics." Lu Feng's words extinguished all his hopes.
Although Gao Zhiwei was somewhat disappointed, it was within his expectations. Both Zhu Lidong and Zhang Fengxia were stronger than him, especially Zhu Lidong, who was extremely powerful in the market!
But in his heart, the most powerful one is still Lu Feng. It seems that nothing can stop him. Can you find a second Lu Feng in the whole country?
impossible!
With higher wages, more effort is required. During the Spring Festival, three shifts are implemented, with machines running continuously even when people are resting. Distributors' trucks are already waiting at the door, and the goal is to distribute goods to all the small shops in the city on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This scene was playing out simultaneously in the other nine factories. The reason they were able to do this was thanks to the solid foundation that Lu Feng had laid for Jiaming Foods. The important suppliers were either established by them or they held shares in them, giving them autonomy.
Only what belongs to you can be used with ease. There's a saying that goes, "It's better to have what you have than what your parents have." This is an age-old truth.
As evening fell, Lu Feng entered the cafeteria. Everyone's faces were etched with exhaustion. They had done everything they needed to do; now it was just a matter of seeing the results.
Vice President Ding was still a little apprehensive. He had now abandoned his previous idea that Lu Feng had established Jiamei Foods by chance, but the market was unpredictable.
"Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and I'll be going home for the holiday. I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year first. As for whether the goods can be rolled out, I've done everything I can." Lu Feng looked at Gao Zhiwei and said, "If it still doesn't work, then we're hopeless. We won't drink alcohol, we'll have a drink with water instead."
Everyone raised their glasses.
After dinner, Lu Feng chatted with Gao Zhiwei for a while, mainly to prevent him from becoming arrogant, because in a few years, the food industry will experience a short-term boom, and some food companies from around the world will join in.
I gave him a few words of advice, telling him to keep them in mind and not to think he had the world at his fingertips just because the market is booming. I told him that every crisis presents an opportunity, and vice versa.
After leaving the cafeteria, Xie Heng, who always ate there, jogged after him.
"Brother-in-law!" Xie Heng asked, following behind, "My sister asked if we're going back tomorrow?"
"Go back, we'll go back tomorrow." Lu Feng glanced at him and said, "Leave around seven or eight in the morning, don't oversleep."
"Well... brother-in-law, my sand quarry is in dire straits, it's almost been depleted. Xiaohong is also about to give birth, and the workload will be even heavier after the baby arrives. I have some money on hand now and I'm thinking of investing in a supplier business, like packaging or raw material supply. With orders from here, the business is more stable," Xie Heng said with a smile.
"Then you should talk to General Manager Gao. I can't handle these things right now."
"Brother-in-law, I know you have a high reputation at Jiaming Foods. It's just a matter of your word, and I'll definitely do it well, even with higher standards than other factories, to make you proud!" Xie Heng patted his chest and assured him.
