As mentioned earlier, Lv Xingchao, the husband of Zhuo Jun’s office colleague Yue Hua, originally opened a building materials store, which was not large in scale and could earn a profit of RMB 600,000 to RMB 700,000 a year.

However, business competition has become more and more fierce in the past two years, and there are more and more problems involved. It can be said that in the past, if the price of a single unit was slightly higher, there would be endless money to be made, but now it is no longer possible, and the prices are basically clearly marked.

, if you want to make money, you have to rely on upstream building materials manufacturers, and you have to cooperate with downstream decoration companies. If your methods are not shady and your heart is not ruthless, you will make less and less money.

Although the couple has various shortcomings, they are ordinary citizens and philistines, but they still have trouble sleeping and eating after earning such money for a long time. Especially, as a teacher, his wife Yue Hua has to face the innocent smiling faces of children every day.

After thinking about it, three months ago, Lu Xingchao saw an opportunity and transferred his building materials store to invest in a small and medium-sized printing and packaging factory owned by his friend.

This friend of his has been in this industry for a long time. He is experienced and very reliable. Although the factory is not big, it still earns more than two million yuan in profit every year.

However, as the business has gradually grown in recent years, and the packaging requirements of products are getting higher and higher, the original machines and production lines can no longer meet the production needs. However, adding new production lines requires huge investments.

If there is a lull in business later and the machines, employees, and factory buildings are idle, it will be equivalent to burning money every day.

This friend of his wanted to take this step, but was also worried that it would be too risky to do it alone. It happened that Lu Xingchao wanted to change his career. After weighing and communicating with many parties, the two of them formed a joint venture and spent more than 10 million in total to purchase a batch of imported goods.

He also bought a printing machine, hired a group of printing workers, and rented a factory next door at a high price, ambitiously planning to give him a good try.

As the major shareholder, Lu Xingchao also became the vice president. Because he had opened a store for many years and had rich experience in communicating with the downstream, he took over all the external affairs of the company. It took him more than two months to finally become fully familiar with it.

The previous sales channels and interpersonal networks, as well as the newly purchased equipment, were all in place and debugged. Just when we were preparing to start a vigorous operation, something unexpected suddenly happened.

Unexpectedly, after buying this high-end machinery and equipment, not only did he fail to expand production, but several major customers suddenly kicked him out of the supplier list. Mr. Zhang in front of him was one of them. This was shocking.

Lu Xingchao was so anxious that his hair turned white.

You know, in this joint venture, he invested more than five million yuan, most of his life's hard-earned savings!

Furthermore, this area is currently his business scope. If he messes up, how can he be worthy of his friend who treats him with sincerity!

Therefore, Lu Xingchao came to this banquet tonight. In addition to wanting to make more business friends, his main purpose was to find Mr. Zhang and others to beg for mercy and see if there was any room for maneuver.

"Mr. Zhang, speaking of which, our two families have had a cooperative relationship for several years, and we have always cooperated very happily. Can't you think about it more carefully? You also know that Mr. Li Ke and I just spent some time together.

We have purchased a batch of printing and packaging machines and factories for more than ten million yuan. If you kick us out of the supplier list, leaving so many machines idle will really kill people!"

Lv Xingchao grimaced and begged Zhang Yunguang, the boss of Wandong Pharmaceutical Company.

Li Ke is his joint venturer, a fellow from Jiafa Xiao.

"Old Lu, you are exaggerating. Why don't we do the same thing as the Western family?" Zhang Yunguang frowned and said impatiently when he saw Lu Xingchao pestering him to beg.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't know. In addition to you, Mr. Sun and Mr. Xu are also preparing to stop cooperating with TEDA. You are all big customers of our factory. If you do this, you will really drive us bankrupt." Besides, when Li Ke and we were planning to purchase a new production line some time ago, we also asked for your opinions. Only after you agreed did I dare to get started, and now you suddenly..."

Lu Xingchao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw Zhang Yunguang speaking in a relaxed manner.

Li Ke has been doing business for many years and has always been known for being cautious. He, Lu Xingchao, is even more timid, so the two of them did not have the guts to invest so much money at once. It was precisely because Zhang Yunguang and others promised to continue to cooperate with them, and they also They urged that their factory was going to release new drugs, and the volume would be huge, and the existing machines in their TEDA factory could not meet their packaging needs and had to be upgraded.

So the two of them thought about it and felt that they couldn't let go of their children, so they gritted their teeth and raised money everywhere to jointly purchase this new production line. However, they didn't expect that not long after the money was invested, Zhang Yunguang and others seemed to have already planned it. The collective removed TEDA Printing Factory from the list of suppliers.

"Although you have just joined TEDA, Lao Lu, you probably haven't been doing business for the first year. You can't say this nonsense. How TEDA invests and does business is your own choice. How can you involve me?" When Zhang Yunguang saw what Lu Xingchao said, his expression immediately dropped and he interrupted without any explanation.

"That's right, that's right, but Mr. Zhang, considering the long-term cooperative relationship between Wandong and TEDA, do you think this is okay? You can leave the new products to others, and the old products should be placed in our TEDA..." Lu Xingchao Seeing Zhang Yunguang's face downcast, he hurriedly smiled and said.

No way, people who do business sometimes look glamorous on the surface, but they also have a bitter side that is unknown to everyone.

Just like Lu Xingchao, it is said that he is worth several million. After investing in TEDA, because of the risks he took, his assets on paper reached tens of millions, and Mr. Lu sounded very awesome. It looks pretty good to others.

Therefore, Yue Hua was in a very good mood in the school office during this period, handling interpersonal relationships very well, and his teaching performance also increased linearly. Cars came and went, which made the married female teacher who knew the situation envious, but others could not see it. Look at the sweat that Lu Xingchao put in behind, the bend of his waist, and the smiling face that accompanied him.

"There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. Lao Lu, go back and tell Li Ke that if you can't afford it, why not just transfer the factory to me? Why bother with Mr. Zhang?" Lu Xingchao was smiling with his face. , while making the last effort, a voice with ridicule and gloating suddenly sounded from behind.

When Lu Xingchao heard this voice, he couldn't help but stiffen, and then a burst of blood rushed from his neck to his face.

"Haha, Mr. Lu, why are you here now? I was looking for you just now!" On the contrary to Lu Xingchao's expression, Zhang Yunguang, who had looked unhappy just now, immediately came forward with a smile on his face.

"No, it happened that Zhou Bai and Xiaoxuan were delayed by something, so they came late." The man called Mr. Lu was a bald man in his early forties, slightly older than Lu Xingchao, and shook hands with Zhang Yunguang.

He shook hands, then pointed to a young couple walking towards him arm in arm with a smug look on his face and said.

"Ah, Zhou Chu and Xiaoxuan are here too. It's really rare." Zhang Yunguang followed Mr. Lu's hand and pointed, then showed an exaggerated expression as if he had just discovered a new world, hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand and spoke enthusiastically to the

The young man known as Zhou Chu held it.

While Zhang Yunguang was shaking hands enthusiastically with the young man known as Zhou Chu, two middle-aged men seemed to have noticed the commotion here. They both hurriedly walked over with wine glasses, and then smiled and talked to Zhou Chu and Lu

They always shake hands, and don't forget to praise Zhou Chu for being young and promising, Miss Lu Xuan for being beautiful and generous, and saying that the two of them are talented and good-looking, and are a perfect match.

When Mr. Lu saw Zhang Yunguang and others praising his sister and brother-in-law, he seemed to be in high spirits. Not only was his waist straight, but his chin was also slightly raised, like a proud peacock, with proud eyes from time to time.

, glanced at Lu Xingchao condescendingly.

Lu Xingchao, who had blood rushing to his face, stared blankly at the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him. After a while, he seemed to suddenly understand something. His whole body began to tremble, and his fists clenched loudly, as if they were shaking at any time.

It's all going to break out.

But in the end, his unwillingness turned into a sigh. Not only did the color on his face fade away, but his whole person seemed to have suddenly become much older.

By now, everything is clear.

Speaking of which, this Lu Tao, Mr. Lu, had a good relationship with him, Lu Xingchao, and Li Ke in the past.

When Li Ke got married, Lu Tao took advantage of his drunkenness and teased the bride until she cried. He also wanted to tease Yue Hua, but Lu Xingchao and Li Ke held her down and beat her severely. From then on, the relationship started.

Some time ago, the two of them heard that Lu Tao's little sister was engaged to Zhou Bai, the son of Deputy Director Zhou of the Provincial Food and Drug Administration and currently the deputy director of the Drug Policy and Essential Drug System Division of the Provincial Department of Health, and they felt a little nervous.

I regret having such a bad relationship with Lu Tao.

However, the matter has been over for a long time, and the two of them did not feel that they had done anything wrong in that matter. If Lu Tao's sister married the son of the deputy director of the Provincial Food and Drug Administration, they would come to apologize and apologize. The two of them would really

Can't do it.

Besides, although their current main customers are pharmaceutical companies, the Food and Drug Administration is not run by Lu Tao's family after all. As long as everyone is doing business legitimately, what can others do to them? But the two of them never dreamed that Lu Tao would actually

He is such a villain who is determined to take revenge. After so long, he is still plotting against them.

The Provincial Food and Drug Administration, the full name of the Provincial Food and Drug Administration, is the government department responsible for the supervision and management of food and drugs throughout the province. Since Lu Tao has connections with the Zhou family, Zhang Yunguang, and Sun, whom Lu Xingchao mentioned before,

Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu both work in a pharmaceutical company, so naturally they want to give him some face and transfer the printing and packaging business of the pharmaceutical factory to others, or directly transfer it to him, Lu Tao, which is just a piece of cake.

If this was the case, Lu Xingchao would not be angry. In business, if people have such resources, they should make use of them.

But it should not be done at all. They also set up a special situation to wait for him and Li Ke to sell iron. After investing huge sums of money and adding new production lines, they would join forces and suddenly kick them out of the supplier list. This was
Chapter completed!
