Chapter 2039: Money really allows you to do whatever you want!
The R&D department failed to give a satisfactory response to the board of directors, and now even its annual budget has been cut again and again.
Even their proposal was quickly refuted:
"Money, money, money, you only know how to ask for money. Isn't it enough for the company to support a bunch of losers like you? Do you still want to find a boss to support you?
"Seven hundred million is already a lot for a small business. It would be too much to be greedy."
"That's right. Knowing that the other party has no shortage of money, they still continue to invest money. Are all the people in the company idiots?"
The Public Relations Department received a signal from General Manager Gu:
"Should we continue to find some more famous bloggers to create some public opinion?"
"The feedback before was very good. The other party had no ability to resist at all."
"The live broadcast room was disbanded, and online sales fell to the limit for several days. But this idea was rejected again:
"Do you really think the Lu Group is a pushover? The bloggers who were thrown into the government to eat the government's food are still fresh in our memory. Which blogger would dare to take money to do things at this critical moment?
“Money talks. It was the case before. Now we raise the price of bribing bloggers, and there will always be people willing to take the bait.
The ideas of one department after another in the meeting room are ultimately all about getting money from the company's books into their own pockets.
Mr. Gu has not yet interrupted this chaos, and several directors can't help but
"That's enough, they are just a bunch of good-for-nothings, they can't do anything but fight among themselves!
"I don't believe that we can't take the lead in Lu's affairs. How can other companies that are also engaged in seasoning food maintain their position?
Therefore, the person in charge of Meizida Qianwei Food Co., Ltd., which was in competition with Shengjing and had even been fighting with it for ten or twenty years, came to Shengjing.
Both Meizida and Qianwei are not local industries, but their sales volume in the domestic condiment market are among the best, comparable to Shengjing Company.
Originally, these two companies were happy to see Shengjing's actions of cleaning up other small domestic companies, although they were not just watching from the sidelines.
Occasionally they would add fuel to the fire and add insult to injury.
Unexpectedly, the Shengjing Company, which was hunting geese all day long, was pecked in the eye by a wild goose and capsized in a ditch.
The CEOs of Meizida and Qianwei were extremely happy, watching the newly emerged Lu's and Shengjing fighting happily, while their two companies followed behind and picked up the market they had left behind.
This wave is really a sure win.
But as time went on, both companies came to their senses.
Although Lu's is a small company that has just emerged, how could it still survive until now despite the retaliation from such a large-scale leading enterprise as Shengjing Company?
Mr. Qu of Meizida and President Komatsunomiya of Qianwei are not fools. They are not stupid enough to think that Shengjing Company is just pretending to deal with Lu’s Soy Sauce Factory.
Since it is not just for show, it proves that Lu's is definitely not a fledgling small business.
They definitely have the power to secure the market.
This power, combined with the unique formula of the Lu brand, was a devastating blow to Shengjing Company, which had jumped in first.
The same is true for Maizda and Qianwei.
It was because they understood this point that Mr. Qu of Meizida and President Komatsunomiya of Qianwei came immediately after Shengjing Company sent out the invitation.
However, these companies are veterans of open and covert fighting, and they have to meet each other out of necessity. Due to new and old grudges, the verbal confrontation is quite fierce.
Still, Mr. Gu couldn't stand it anymore and gave in first:
"Alright, I asked you guys to come here to discuss how to suppress the Lu family, not to have tea and chat!"
After a pause, seeing that Mr. Qu from Meizida and Mr. Xiaosonggong from Qianwei both looked angry and stopped bickering, Mr. Gu also breathed a sigh of relief.
So he changed the subject and talked about serious matters:
"I believe you have all come into contact with Lu's products." What he said was not aimless.
It is precisely because of the fights with Meizida and Qianwei that I know clearly the temperament and tolerance of the enemies I am facing.
If they had not tried Lu's products and felt the real threat, President Qu and Xiao Songgong would not have come to Shengjing Company and sat here to negotiate with him.
Mr. Gu didn't waste time talking to them and directly took out the documents he had prepared:
"These are the performance reports of Lu's Soy Sauce Factory before our company intervened in the beginning."
"Let me remind you two that when this report came out, the Lu's Soy Sauce Factory had not yet expanded more than three times to its current size."
“There weren’t several parallel production lines like we have now!”
"Now we have all of these, and offline channels are also slowly being rolled out."
"Everyone, the time left for our three companies is running out. I hope you two will think carefully about what path we should take next."
Mr. Gu's words were serious, but by no means alarmist.
He only told Mr. Qu and Prince Komatsu part of the facts.
