The next day, Jiang Xiaoyan got up early. The factory was still under development. Unlike Lu Feng, the factory was small, and she had to keep an eye on every aspect. Getting up early and working late had become a habit.
Everyone except Lu Feng was already up. Duo Duo had to go to school, so she got ready early.
Inside the kitchen, Zhang Fengxia winked at her.
"What's wrong with you? Hurry up and eat breakfast, you have a meeting." Jiang Xiaoyan came out carrying a bowl of porridge.
"Feeling good?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The child is still alive. And him, even though they're divorced, he's still doing this," Jiang Xiaoyan said helplessly.
“They don’t want a divorce, they said. They have technology abroad, and the children’s issues are easy to resolve,” Zhang Fengxia tentatively suggested.
"I'm busy, I don't have time. We'll talk about it later. I think I've figured it out now. Women need to have their own things to do. Staying at home all day like a widow is not a good thing." Jiang Xiaoyan said while eating breakfast.
"You're a strong woman now, huh?" Zhang Fengxia teased. "If you can handle things on your own, I'll go back to Jiafeng. Their company is huge now."
"Go away, go serve him. You can't even run your own business properly, all you do is think about other people," Jiang Xiaoyan said with a laugh.
"No, no!" Zhang Fengxia quickly surrendered.
The two got along exceptionally well and were practically inseparable for so long. Jiang Xiaoyan felt that Zhang Fengxia was more like her own sister than Jiang Xiaohong.
"Let's go after we finish eating!" Jiang Xiaoyan said, holding Duoduo's schoolbag.
"Dad is still sleeping."
"Let him sleep."
The three of them went out and slammed the door shut.
..............
In Bangkok, Thailand, Jiafeng has already established over seventy stores through cooperation, and is rapidly expanding in other cities as well.
Kevin partnered with a local business, opting for a profit-sharing arrangement of 40/60. The local business provided the venue, advertising, sales channels, and logistics, while Jiafeng Electronics provided the products, store decoration, brand marketing, and staff salaries.
The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant and the development was naturally fast. In a short period of time, Jiafeng opened up the market by offering high-quality products at low prices. However, this morning, as soon as the store opened, a group of people rushed in, smashed the store, and then left.
More than 70 shops were damaged to varying degrees, one of which was set on fire. The shop's employees were threatened that if they continued to work for Jiafeng Electronics, they would have to face the consequences.
In one morning, all of Jiafeng Electronics' sales channels in Bangkok were paralyzed. Kevin was stunned when he received the news. He immediately called the police and then contacted the partner companies.
After finishing all that, I remembered to report to headquarters.
Lu Feng woke up late in the morning, yawned, wandered around the room and found no one was there. He sat down and ate a simple meal by himself. It was almost noon when he went downstairs and drove back to the company.
Just as I returned to my office, an assistant from the president's office next door knocked and came in, saying, "President Lu, something's happened at the overseas branch. President Wei is talking to President Kevin in his office."
"What?" Lu Feng was shocked. At this time, something happened in the overseas market that he had just entered. Wasn't this just making trouble for him?
Lu Feng hurried toward Wei Yandan's office. He pushed open the door and found Wei Yandan, Zhu Lidong, and several other core executives there. Kevin's voice came through the speakerphone on the phone.
"How is the situation now?" Lu Feng asked.
"President Lu is here. This morning, our shops in Bangkok were either smashed, burned, or threatened. We're completely paralyzed," Wei Yandan said with a grim expression.
"Have you called the police?"
"We've already called the police. They've arrested a few thugs, but there's still no result. However, the nature of the crime is extremely serious. Such a concentrated attack, occurring at the same time, is definitely premeditated. Kevin said we haven't offended anyone." Zhu Lidong asked with some worry into the phone, "Are you sure you haven't offended anyone?"
“If we’re talking about business competition, then it’s bound to offend people, since we’ve squeezed out other companies’ market share. But there was no warning. We haven’t had any conflicts with any other companies so far, and this just happened suddenly.” Kevin was puzzled.
“Handle this properly, temporarily close all stores, and send the injured employees to the hospital if necessary.” Lu Feng pondered, “If we want to develop in this area, we need to win the hearts and minds of some people. I hope that after this incident, we can operate more smoothly in the area.”
“Okay, I understand, Mr. Lu!” Kevin replied.
Thailand has a small population, but its consumer market is stronger than China's. In 1994, its GDP reached US$160 billion, with a per capita GDP of over US$3,000, while China's per capita GDP in 1994 was US$1,200, more than double!
This huge market, with numerous international companies and a large per capita consumption potential, has become a coveted prize for major international corporations.
Lu Feng was already surprised that companies like Jiafeng Electronics hadn't suffered a major setback after entering the market, so the current situation was somewhat expected.
Lu Feng hadn't expected the local public security to be so bad.
Kevin analyzed the situation there for a long time and could only narrow it down to a few companies, because Jiafeng's products were direct competitors with them, and they were also local companies.
They are good at using such crude methods to get things done.
“I think it might be related to the financing issue. The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows; otherwise, it wouldn’t be like a thunderbolt in a clear sky!” Zhu Lidong frowned and analyzed, “This matter is probably not over. If the other party is really determined to deal with us, even after the store is restored, there will still be more trouble.”
