Zhao Huixin studied Wei Chen's information and felt that Wei Chen's family was in great need of money. Maybe she didn't have to pretend to have an ambiguous relationship with Wei Chen. She could start with money after getting to know him.
After getting familiar with Wei Chen, she could first give him financial help in the name of a friend. She believed that after he enjoyed the happiness brought by the money, it should not be difficult to ask him to do a small favor.
Zhao Huixin had made a strategy in her mind, and the next step was to find a way to get close to Wei Chen.
While Zhao Chengjie was investigating Wei Chen, Li Shaozhong and his team also investigated Wei Chen's information. They needed to know both themselves and their enemies.
Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning looked at Wei Chen's information together, and they also felt that the Wei family's economic conditions were indeed relatively poor, so the temptation of money would be greater.
Ye Shuning said, "Brother Zhong, do you think we should help Wei Chen?"
Li Shaozhong had seen many families like Wei Chen's, and he didn't think the Wei family was in such a difficult situation. "Let's wait and see. At least we have to wait until Wei Chen can resist Zhao Huixin's temptation. If he falls, it means he's not worthy of our trust and help. Besides, you think the Wei family is in a difficult situation, but there are many people like the Wei family, and even more difficult situations than the Wei family.
At least the Wei family has Wei Chen's father and Wei Chen's younger brother working to earn an income. Furthermore, Wei Chen's father and Wei Chen's salaries are not low, and their difficulties are temporary. They don't need our help at all.
There are a large number of impoverished families in remote areas, whose children can barely go to school and whose stomachs can barely get enough to eat. We should help those people.
Didn’t you say before that you wanted to build Hope Primary Schools in remote areas? I think your plan is very good.”
Ye Shuning also knew that she was not from this era after all. Later, she stayed in Nangang for several years and still did not have enough understanding of the poverty of that era. In this regard, she felt that she should listen to her husband.
Ye Shuning put down the information and said, "Forget it, I'll listen to you on this matter."
Li Shaozhong said, "After cooperating with foreign companies, Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory No. 1 changed its name to Haijia Daily Chemical. We should also change our name. Let's just call ourselves Haizhou Daily Chemical. Without Factory No. 1 holding us back, there's no problem using the name Haizhou Daily Chemical."
Ye Shuning also strongly agreed with the name Haizhou Daily Chemicals. "I didn't suggest changing the name before because I was waiting for the first factory to change its name. Let's keep the old factory's name and stick to making Chinese products."
Li Shaozhong recalled Zeng Bosheng's earlier words and laughed, "Old Zeng said that Director Wu of Factory One must be regretting it now. We approached him about cooperation before, but he rejected us outright, which is why we approached Factory Two. Not only does Factory Two not use foreign capital, it's even ahead of Factory One. Even if Factory One had the capital and technology injected by foreign companies, it wouldn't be able to surpass Factory Two."
Furthermore, Factory One is currently subject to restrictions imposed by foreign-owned enterprises, and they're not as easy to deal with as we are. They're targeting the domestic market and making money. They absolutely won't continue to support Factory One's existing brand; they'll simply replace it with their own to capture the domestic market. If Wu Liren doesn't stand firm, the consequences will be greater than the gains."
Ye Shuning also knew that some domestic factories were in a recession and urgently needed external support, so she was eager to attract foreign investment. The entry of foreign-funded enterprises certainly brought capital and advanced technology, but there were also advantages and disadvantages.
Now people don’t know what is the best way to do it, so they can only grope their way around.
Ye Shuning couldn't take care of others, so she could only take care of herself first and fulfill her responsibilities.
Just when Zhao Huixin had just contacted Wei Chen, Li Shaozhong and others received bad news. A joint venture company called Feiyang Daily Chemical in Zhuzhou launched a new shampoo product, which was exactly the same as the shampoo that Ye Shuning and others from Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory had previously developed.
Even the outer packaging design of this shampoo is very similar to that of Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory, and it is very easy to make a mistake if you are not careful.
Li Shaozhong brought the shampoo produced by Feiyang Daily Chemicals home and showed it to Ye Shuning.
Ye Shuning picked up a shampoo that had almost the same packaging as the one from the Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory, looked at it, and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Shaozhong angrily declared, "This is a new product from a joint venture in Zhuzhou called Feiyang Daily Chemicals. I've had the lab test it, and the ingredients are identical to ours. And every other aspect of the testing is identical, even the fragrance is exactly the same. This couldn't have been developed by them on their own; it must have been leaked by us."
This product has the same ingredients as ours, and the packaging is so similar, it's clearly an attempt to steal our market share. And they're even leveraging our product's reputation."
Ye Shuning frowned and said, "Does Director Zeng know?"
Li Shaoyang nodded, "I see. This was reported to us by a dealer in Zhuzhou. Lao Zeng knew about it earlier than I did. Lao Zeng meant that we should not publicize it yet and investigate the thieves among us first.
It seems that it's not just the Zhao family and the people behind them who are targeting us. Others have also been targeting us for a long time and have infiltrated our company to steal our technology."
Ye Shuning wasn't worried, because she knew this would happen sooner or later. "The person who leaked the secrets must be in a relatively core position, as they imitated the product so accurately. I wonder how much core technology this person has leaked. We really need to investigate thoroughly and eliminate this thief, otherwise the information about the newly developed products will also be leaked."
Seeing his wife so calm, Li Shaozhong was no longer so anxious because he knew that she would definitely have a way.
He explained the situation at the factory, "Lao Zeng has already called a meeting with several key factory leaders. The most important thing is to find the traitor as soon as possible and minimize the losses.
Fortunately, they didn't use our brand directly, otherwise it would be even more difficult to check."
Ye Shuning thought for a moment and said, "We've recently increased the production of this product and lowered the price. Even if we don't make any money, we have to ship it in large quantities. We'll say that Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory is giving back to old customers, and this product is currently on sale with a big discount.
Feiyang Daily Chemicals' products are definitely higher than our costs. If they charge a higher price than us, they won't be able to sell them. If they charge the same price as us, they'll have to pay the price. I don't believe they can afford the loss.
After selling this product at a reduced price for a while, we'll launch a new product, allowing it to gradually replace the old one. We can bundle the old and new products together, such as offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal, where you get the old one for free with the new product. This will gradually introduce the new product to the public. Once the market for the new product has stabilized, we'll gradually phase out the old product. This way, the other party's products will be left hanging, or they'll have to sell them at a loss.
Li Shaozhong thought his wife's idea was a good one. If all the old products were given away, who would buy them? Everyone would definitely choose the more affordable new products.
