Following Wu Yanqing to a restaurant, the two found a seat by the window and sat down.
"I haven't seen you these few days. Is something wrong?"
Wu Yanqing looked at Jiang Ranli, who was smiling brightly in the sunshine, and his heart was slightly moved.
"It's nothing, I just feel too hot and don't want to go out."
. . .
The two were chatting idly when suddenly there was a noise on the street outside. Turning to look, they saw two fruit vendors arguing.
"All the fruits in my house cost twenty cents a bag."
"My family's money is 19 cents a bag."
"My family has eighteen cents."
"I am seventeen cents."
"Mr. Zhang, you really want to make things difficult for me, right? Okay, you're so cruel. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you 15 cents for a bag of fruit."
"It's you, Wang, who's picking on me. Why did you set up your stall next to mine when you could set up your stall anywhere else? You're also trying to steal my customers. If you pass by, please take a look. The fruits in my Wang's Fruit Shop are on sale at a low price today. Fourteen cents a bag."
Listening to their arguing cries, Jiang Ranli sighed helplessly.
"If they continue to compete maliciously like this, neither company will benefit and they will even lose their capital in the end."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yanqing laughed and said, "This kind of thing often happens in the business world. Several companies compete maliciously and lower prices against each other. In the end, no one benefits. It's inevitable."
When saying these words, Wu Yanqing's face was full of helplessness.
Jiang Ranli saw this and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Was that question even a problem? There were obviously many solutions, so how could it be unavoidable?
"I don't think that question is a difficult one."
Wu Yanqing was surprised when he heard this. He had followed his father in the business world for several years and was also very troubled by the situation just now. How could it not be a difficult problem?
Seeing the confusion in Wu Yanqing's eyes, Jiang Ranli picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. After his throat was moistened, he said, "Like the question just now, the reason for their quarrel was just who sold more fruit and who sold less. In the final analysis, they just wanted to steal each other's business."
Wu Yanqing listened, but a little absent-mindedly. He didn't think Jiang Ranli could come up with any good ideas, but looking at Jiang Ranli's bright and clear eyes, he couldn't bear to make her sad, so he nodded from time to time to agree with her.
"In fact, when it comes down to it, their goal is to make some money, so there is no need for them to compete so maliciously. Look, there are only two fruit shops on this street. If they can unite, their business will definitely be better than it is now, and they don't have to fight each other to the point of bloodshed and get nothing good."
Unity?
When Wu Yanqing heard the word "unity", his brows furrowed slightly. In his opinion, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. The same is true in business. When several companies compete, there is bound to be one who comes out on top, and the others will be defeated. What's the point of talking about unity?
"Everyone who does business wants to outperform their competitors so that they can come out on top. How do you say unity?" Wu Yanqing asked.
"Instead of thinking about how to outperform your competitors, you might as well think about how to improve the quality of your own products. Have you heard of 'win-win cooperation'?"
"Win-win cooperation?"
Those four words were like lightning, striking directly into Wu Yanqing's heart and shattering his long-held ideas.
Jiang Ranli nodded, then pinched a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, and continued, "In this world, there are no eternal enemies, but there are eternal interests."
