At the shareholders' meeting, Han Fei met with the other four partners: Aaron, Bill, Bill, and Anthony.
Han Fei laughed and said, "You have a really good relationship with them."
Henry proudly raised his head: "I saved their lives!"
Henry and his four friends all loved the Dragon Kingdom culture. Once, they went to the Dragon Kingdom for tourism. Henry really wanted to try dragon boat racing, and his four friends supported him and played with him.
Little did anyone know that the four guys couldn't swim but still wanted to play. Henry single-handedly saved all four, and nearly drowned himself from exhaustion. What a touching display of friendship!
Han Fei: "...I can't swim, but I'm risking my life to accompany you on this dragon boat race."
“These are all crazy things I did when I was young!” Henry rubbed his nose.
“Brother Han, actually we’ve already broken even. The four of us pooled together 20 million M gold for Henry, and Henry has already paid us back.” Billy, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was a sunny and handsome man. He was also very frank: “Actually, we didn’t want any shares. The money was lent to Henry, but he insisted on giving each of us 10% of the shares.”
Aaron nodded: "Henry is just too honest. If it were someone else, they would have paid back the money, why would they give him shares?"
Bill sighed, "The supermarket won't let us put our products on the shelves anymore. We still have 100,000 boxes of products here, and we can only wait for them to expire."
Anthony shrugged, the young master crossing his legs and munching on a lollipop: "Expired is expired, it's not worth much. At worst, we'll shut down the company and stop playing with them. Those supermarket distributors will be jumping up and down in a panic!"
Bill jumped up first: "Anthony, do you think this is a joke, turning it on and off as you please?"
"Bill, I know you're eager to prove yourself and show your old man that you're more capable than that illegitimate child, but even if you prove it, what then? You won't get any more of the inheritance!"
“He bought a piece of land a couple of days ago as a birthday gift for his illegitimate son. What did he give you for your birthday last month? Oh, I remember now, a Rolex Submariner?” Anthony chewed on the lollipop in his mouth: “A watch and a piece of land. Anyone can see that his heart has long been swayed.”
"Stop talking." Bill lay down on the sofa, sullenly. "I know the old man likes him more, but the family only acknowledges me."
Anthony glanced at him sideways: "Are you naively thinking that as long as you achieve something with Henry and the Hanheng Group becomes a well-known enterprise, you can go back and take over the family business?"
Bill pursed his lips.
"Silence means consent! I'm telling you, silly brother, if Hanheng Group achieves success, why would you go back to take over this mess? You'll be toiling away like a donkey, while your illegitimate brother owns shares in the company. You'll give him dividends every year so he can live a life of luxury?"
Bill said stiffly, "He doesn't have any shares."
“Once the old man dies, he’ll get a share of the inheritance, right? Then you’ll be the donkey, and he can live a life of luxury with the money you give him. How wonderful!” Anthony threw away his empty lollipop stick and curled his lip: “What an idiot!”
"Yes, I'm stupid! But how much better can you be? You're good for nothing, spending all your time racing. Your father has given up on you and is unwilling to groom you as his heir. He's already brought his two illegitimate sons back into the family business, and they're now working there. They'll be the ones in charge in the future! You can only scrape by between their fingers!"
Anthony shrugged: "It's their business if they want to be donkeys. I just get a share of the profits every year, isn't that great?"
"You're just giving up!"
"You wouldn't understand my life of being a couch potato."
Watching their two friends argue, Henry, Billy, and Aaron silently took out their chocolates, eating them while watching the show, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Han Fei seemed a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly: "Aren't you going to try to persuade him?"
Henry handed him a piece of chocolate and laughed, "What's there to advise? Don't be fooled by their fierce arguments; they'll be out at the bar together the next minute. Once they're on good terms, we can't even get in the way!"
Han Fei understood; this was the essence of love and hate...
"Brother Han, the supermarket has officially declared war on us. This shareholders' meeting is not only to introduce you to these four clowns, but also to ask you how we should respond."
Han Fei looked at Henry, eating chocolate, and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"There are two options now. The first option is to take a step back and slightly extend the shelf life. Of course, it won't be extended by 12 months, but only by 30 days. Extending the product's shelf life to 90 days would also be a way to give the supermarket some face."
Han Fei shook his head: "My bottom line is 60 days, not a day more."
Henry laughed: "I knew you'd reject it, so I have a second option."
"The second option is to find new partners and sell off the 100,000 boxes of goods we have on hand."
Who is your business partner?
“KFC and McDonald’s have breakfast packages. We’ll offer them a new breakfast package by making frozen buns cheaper.”
"Are they willing to take it on?"
"Actually, KFC has already extended an olive branch to me. They also want to make Chinese-style breakfast sets. Before this, they had already launched a porridge series, a fried dough stick and rice ball series, and a steamed bun series was something they also wanted to make, but they couldn't find a good product before."
"Aren't their main customers actually Chinese?" Han Fei narrowed his eyes.
Henry was taken aback: "Brother Han means they buy our steamed buns cheaply and then sell them to the Chinese at a high price?"
“Strictly speaking, it should be sold to Chinese people living abroad, buying them cheaply and then selling them at high prices to capitalize on their homesickness. I don’t like that, Henry.”
“But…” Henry was about to say a few more words of persuasion when Han Fei waved his hand to interrupt him: “If I’m not mistaken, they should be asking you to sign a long-term cooperation agreement.”
"Yes, they hope for five years."
Han Fei laughed sarcastically: "Henry, do you know what I used to think was the funniest joke?"
Henry looked at him with a puzzled expression, and his four friends also looked at Han Fei with curiosity.
Han Fei took a sip of coffee and gave a wry smile: "There were two shops on the same street in China, one was KFC and the other was a porridge shop. KFC started selling porridge and fried dough sticks, but not long after, the porridge shop closed down."
The five people remained silent.
Henry sighed, "Brother Han, I will decline their invitation."
Bill grimaced, "Looks like this time, the bastard will get the upper hand again. Oh well, I'll just be like Anthony and become a couch potato."
Anthony unwrapped a lollipop and ate it: "You should have realized this sooner. Wouldn't it have been better to just give up?"
Billy said nonchalantly, "At worst, we'll just open our own supermarket and sell only our products!"
Aaron rolled his eyes at him: "By the time your supermarket is finished and open, 60 days will have passed, and these buns will still be expired."
Billy said dejectedly, "Well, I guess I have no choice. Let's donate it before it expires; it's better than throwing it away."
Anthony smiled and said, "I know quite a few directors of orphanages and nursing homes. Shall we send them there now?"
Bill wailed, "Can't we just hold on a little longer? Everyone, think of something!"
Aaron shrugged: "There's nothing I can do."
“It’s not entirely without a solution.” Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “Henry, Grandpa Ken has reminded me.”
Five pairs of eyes turned to him simultaneously. Henry asked in confusion, "Brother Han, do you have a solution?"
Billy urged, "Brother Han, tell us quickly, what good ideas do you have?"
Bill's eyes lit up with hope: "Brother Han, it's all up to you!"
Aaron looked at Han Fei expectantly: "Brother Han, please tell us quickly."
Anthony stopped eating his lollipop and said urgently, "Brother Han, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us already!"
