Zhao Shengli and Director Li, standing to the side, were puzzled. "What do you mean?"
In those days, private individuals were not allowed to engage in buying and selling, and people had little awareness of advertising.
"The factory can ask the Guangcheng Daily to help the police offer a reward. As long as they can provide relevant information about counterfeit and shoddy canned goods, they can receive a corresponding reward once it is confirmed."
A cash reward will be given to anyone who provides crucial clues. If the reward is enticing enough, word will spread about the canned goods, and everyone will know that the problematic canned goods were counterfeited…”
At this point, Yu Yao deliberately stopped Wang Chuntao, "Squad Leader Wang, don't you think that makes sense?"
"I think... I guess so." Wang Chuntao was a little uneasy, unsure if Yu Yao knew something, and her heart was pounding.
Yu Yao continued, "The most crucial thing is that through this method we can unite the people on our side. One person provides one clue, ten people provide ten clues, and one hundred people provide one hundred clues."
"As a great man once said, a single spark can start a prairie fire. If those who are hiding behind the scenes and doing bad things have ever shown even the slightest clue, the police can follow the trail and find them."
Wang Chuntao's heart sank to the bottom as Yu Yao spoke, and the smile on her face became more and more forced.
In the end, I couldn't even laugh anymore.
Zhao E, standing next to her, was also as white as a sheet.
Although Director Wang and his colleagues don't understand advertising, they know that nothing beats the people's word of mouth.
Once a reputation is damaged, the impact can be made up for with a little money.
Factory Director Wang and the others were all shrewd people, and they understood Yu Yao's meaning after hearing her thoughts.
Yu Yao said, "This is a crisis, but if handled properly, it can also become a help. It can not only clarify the issue of the problematic canned food, but also help to instill the concept that food factory canned food is safe and healthy in people's minds."
Director Li raised his hand in approval: "I think this is a good idea. Not only can we publish it in the newspaper, but we can also, as Yu Yao suggested, work with the police to post reward notices on red paper at the entrances of all department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives that have tried selling our canned goods."
This is a brilliant way to turn crisis into opportunity and even achieve multiple wins!
Factory Director Wang and Director Li highly praised Yu Yao's idea, saying, "You young people are so quick-witted. We'll leave the article for the newspaper to you, Yu Yao."
This was exactly what Yu Yao wanted.
This is also an opportunity for Coconut Grove brand canned goods.
Wang Chuntao and her mother-in-law couldn't listen anymore. "Director Wang, Director Li, I... I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
After saying that, the two practically fled in panic.
Yu Yao stared at their retreating figures with icy eyes.
It's good that you're afraid. Don't worry, you'll become more and more fearful and live in constant anxiety.
Until all the clues converged into evidence, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back.
After leaving the factory, Wang Chuntao and the other woman kept thinking about what Yu Yao had just said, and the more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt.
They didn't stop until the factory was out of sight; their legs were already weak.
Zhao E was extremely panicked. "Mom, what do we do now? Will Dad and the others find out that they were selling canned food on the black market?"
Wang Chuntao was also terrified, her legs trembling uncontrollably. "How should I know?"
If they are found to be engaging in speculation and profiteering, coupled with deliberately framing and stealing factory files, their entire family will either be shot or imprisoned for life.
Zhao E's vision blurred at the thought of the consequences, and she cried out, "I told you long ago, just a few cans would have been enough, but you insisted on making so many to sell on the black market. Selling them once wasn't enough, you sold them so many times. Now we're finished."
"Shut up, you're giving me a headache. You've spent a lot of money you made through speculation, what's the point of saying this now?"
Wang Chuntao was extremely panicked. "There must be a way to solve this. We've been discreet, and we've always disguised ourselves when we go to the black market. No one will be able to find us. Yes, that's it. We need to go home right now and have them destroy the remaining canned goods to cover up the crime."
"Will this really work?"
"We have to do it, even if it's not feasible. As long as we don't admit it, they definitely won't be able to find us. That bounty that Yu Yao mentioned won't work either. We're always very careful; we don't leave that many clues behind."
Zhao E hesitated, wanting to say something but holding it back, already thinking about her way out.
If all else fails, she'll try to get a divorce and go back to her parents' home.
After making up their minds, the two rushed home to deal with it.
After Wang Chuntao and the others left, Yu Yao said to Factory Director Wang:
"By the way, Director Wang, there's one more thing I'd like to report to you."
She looked around; there were too many people.
Factory Director Wang understood what she meant and called her to the security post at the entrance. "There's no one else here. You can say whatever you want."
"Director Wang, it's about the problematic canned goods. Although the canned goods that Granny Shen brought are fake, they don't contain herbs, but the sauce tastes almost exactly like mine. I suspect that confidential documents in the factory archives have been leaked."
The archives contain data on the use of key recipes for the entire food factory, which are core secrets of the factory. If leaked, the consequences would be dire.
Factory Director Wang's expression was grave. "I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly."
As Yu Yao emerged from the security office, she immediately spotted Lu Ze handing over duties with staff from the border patrol station.
After Lu Ze finished the handover, the two pushed the cart out.
Not far from the factory, they encountered Wu Huaiqing, who was riding a sidecar motorcycle, looking travel-worn.
Wu Huaiqing stopped his motorcycle, panting, and said, "Yu Yao, I heard there was an accident with the canned goods? Where are those people? This is my savings account. If you need to pay compensation first, take it all. If it's not enough, I'll figure something out."
