Chapter 41 Ants Shaking Elephants
Seeing Chang Hai and Lin Shu anxious, Li Siwen just smiled faintly and replied calmly: "You don't have to worry about the market. In recent days, you just need to do two things well."
He paused slightly and continued: "First, Lin Shu is responsible for production. If the staff is not enough, he will go to the talent market to recruit workers. I need you to complete all our raw materials in one week."
"Second, Chang Hai starts to move into the warehouse today and pay attention to our goods. That's our lives."
"Believe me, everything will be fine."
Seeing Li Siwen's serious appearance, Lin Shu still had a lot of opinions to say, but he didn't say anything in the end, because he could see that the man was under more pressure than any of them. He could say what he said in his heart, but he would not force Li Siwen to do it.
"Okay, go and do it!"
After Li Siwen made arrangements, he lay on the sofa, while Lin Shu and Chang Hai began to get busy.
In the following days, news of the fire in Yangdu factory began to ferment, and rumors spread everywhere. Some even said that they would never be able to eat Yangdu ham sausage again. There were rumors that because Yangdu ham was cut off, other brands of ham sausages were also at risk of out-of-stock.
Such news made Feng Yuhui cheaper. His ham sausages became more and more popular. In just a few days, it monopolized the entire Caozhou market.
Moreover, after the spread of the fire news in the Yangdu factory, the overall sales of ham sausages were almost twice as high as before, and all the benefits generated were all put into Feng Yuhui's pocket.
What is making money like flowing water? This is true for Feng Yuhui today. Even if this opportunity is only short, it is enough to make him a lot of money.
On the eighth day of the Yangdu Group's fire, the supply of Yangdu ham sausages began to be restored in Caozhou area. The previous rumors were self-defeating.
But even if supply is restored, it is already difficult to get all the previous market back. In particular, in order to preserve the market, Feng Yuhui not only increases investment and production, but also gradually improves the quality of raw materials.
Feng Yuhui tasted the sweetness of dominating the market, and of course he would not easily restore Yangdu's vitality. In his opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The people were fighting fiercely, but at this time Li Siwen still shipped a thousand pieces every day, just like a lazy drunk man, making people unable to understand his operation.
On the evening of November 22, on the ninth day of the fire in Yangdu factory, Li Siwen received a call from Lu Shuhang, and the other party asked him to have tea at Qianlong Teahouse.
Qianlong Tea House, a relatively famous leisure place in Caozhou, some officials and rich people will come here to spend from time to time.
The decoration of the teahouse is very special. The hollowed-out wooden carving boards are separated by small spaces, but the Chinese style has a Western style.
When Li Siwen arrived here, he had just walked into the hall and saw Lu Shuhang sitting not far away. He smiled slightly and walked over to sit opposite him.
"Brother is so happy that he actually invited me to have tea here." Li Siwen said with a smile.
"You still laugh?" Lu Shuhang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked at Li Siwen.
"You invite me to have tea, I don't laugh, are you still crying?" Li Siwen continued to laugh.
When Lu Shuhang heard this, he shook his head gently and said, "I really worry about eating salty radish. You are not in a hurry, I am actually anxious for you."
"What are you anxious about?" Li Siwen asked knowingly.
Lu Shuhang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The fire in Yangdu factory is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you small ham sausage processing plants. When I heard this news, I felt that God was helping you, but what about?"
"Feng Yuhui can catch such a good opportunity. Why can't you catch such a smart person? Little brother, you disappointed me so much!"
Li Siwen smiled slightly: "Brother, it's not time yet."
"It's not the time? Are you too confident, right?" Lu Shuhang took a deep breath and said, "Feng Yuhui has made a big profit in the past few days. Not only has he dominated the market during this period, but he has also used the funds he has recovered to increase his investment. I heard that he recently ordered a more advanced processing machine from Japan."
"The reason he did this was undoubtedly to try to wrestle with Yangdu Ham. People were doing it well, but you were still holding on to the ground."
"Brother, do you think Feng Yuhui and Yang are some hams?" Li Siwen asked when he saw Lu Shuhang was a little excited.
"Even if he has no choice, he can still save some of the market. His current investment will be made sooner or later." Lu Shuhang said confidently.
"Brother is right. Feng Yuhui has the same idea, so he will continue to increase investment in order to gain a foothold in Caozhou. But if it were him, I would never do this." Li Siwen shook his head and said.
Lu Shuhang frowned: "Why?"
"Yangdu ham sausage has been sold across the country for five years, and the market is almost monopolized. Other people's assets are calculated in billions. Even if a fire occurs, the loss of nearly 100 million yuan per day can still be put back into production in just one week. For example, Feng Yuhui, let alone he only made a few days of money, even if he made a few years or decades, he would fight with Yangdu, and he would still fight an ants to fight an elephant." Li Siwen smiled and said, "If I were Feng Yuhui, I might as well take this opportunity to produce safely. If I want to fight an elephant, wouldn't I begging for trouble?"
When Lu Shuhang heard Li Siwen's disgusting words, his brows frowned even tighter.
"Li Siwen, this is not like you. In my eyes, your goals are definitely beyond ordinary people. Do you have to compromise before you try it?"
"Brother, sometimes, we must see the reality clearly and not be blinded by interests. Greed is a taboo in business." Li Siwen said this and continued: "I will say something differently, you may understand that this cake of ham sausage has long been eyeing it. Seeing that Yangdu factory is so profitable, who is not jealous? This time, the Yangdu factory is in a fire, and there must be another elephant taking the opportunity to deal with Yangdu Group."
"The other elephant?" Lu Shuhang was stunned.
"Yes, maybe more than one, maybe two. In other words, the only one who can deal with the Yangdu Group is elephant, not ants like us." Li Siwen took a sip of tea: "Two or three elephants fight, what do you think the ants next to you will be like? At the very least, they will be seriously injured, and at the worst, they will be trampled to death. Shopping mall competition is definitely not something that little people like us can participate in. All we can do is seize the opportunity and grow a little bit, rather than overestimating our ability, like Feng Yuhui, wanting to shake the elephant."
Lu Shuhang was stunned, shocked in his heart. He already understood what Li Siwen meant. The metaphor of an ant shaking an elephant can be said to be extremely appropriate.
"But before everything happens, do you really feel that it will develop as you expected?" Lu Shuhang said in a deep voice: "At least, there is no sign of the second and third elephants standing out yet."
