It's very simple. In one sentence, either you agree to my request, or you give up this great opportunity to others.
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment.
What did he hear?
One million, plus a supplier qualification?
No, isn't he here to seek cooperation? Why does it look like blackmail now?
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me?"
Jiang Chen shook his head: "It's not a threat, it's a deal. Master Kong entered the mainland in 1991 and officially started production in 1992. With only one braised beef noodle, it defeated the boss of Tongyi.
I know that Mr. Wang, as the head of a branch, may not have a deep sense of humiliation, but there is no doubt that Uni-President needs to break such a deadlock.
And I want to remind Mr. Wang that Master Kang’s strength is increasing day by day and getting stronger day by day, so the sooner the situation is broken, the better, otherwise it will be difficult for the gods to save him as time goes by."
There is no detailed data, only cold facts and strict logic.
Master Kong just pressed Yiyi to the ground and rubbed it!
Unification requires an opportunity to break the situation!
Master Kong is indeed getting stronger and stronger, and we need to break the situation as soon as possible!
Wang Yong was silent.
As said, as a branch manager, he did not feel the humiliation of being slapped in the face by his younger brother.
But from the perspective of company development, he must admit that what Jiang Chen said is right.
The pickled cabbage noodles are indeed a game changer and worth a try.
If you take a step back, what will happen even if you fail?
Isn’t it normal to fail?
The group has dozens of instant noodles products, who dares to say they are successful?
Did shrimp noodles once dominate Baodao?
But with this condition, one million, plus a supplier qualification, some lions will open their mouths!
After pondering for a while, he said: "There is no problem with supplier qualifications, but for one million, as far as I know, there is no such precedent."
"How could it not be?"
"Lü Buwei has a strange place to live. That was a story thousands of years ago. Mr. Wang really doesn't understand. You can understand it through comparison."
Jiang Chen was very calm.
Although this is not the same thing as Lu Buwei's strange goods, they actually have a lot in common.
Wang Yong asked: "What if I say no? You should understand that even if we don't agree to your request, we can still launch sauerkraut noodles. You are not the only one who can make sauerkraut."
Jiang Chen nodded: "Of course I understand, but Mr. Wang, you should also understand how important it is to have the opportunity first.
If Uni-President does not agree, if I go to Master Kong, Mr. Wang thinks how much more money will it cost to compete?"
Wang Yong was silent again.
The words have been made very clear. One million buys the opportunity and the reputation of a category pioneer.
He also knows that monopoly is impossible, just like Braised Beef Noodles was invented by Master Kong but everyone is producing it.
But head start and reputation are very important.
Why does Master Kong stand out as a latecomer?
Why do Master Kong's family suppress all other colleagues?
Isn't it just because he had the upper hand?
Isn’t it just because Master Kong first created braised beef noodles?
On the other hand, if we do not take this advantage, if we lose this reputation, it may seem like we have saved a million, but we will actually face competition from Master Kong earlier.
Competition from Master Kong will come sooner...
On the smaller side, it costs more money.
On a larger scale, it will lose an opportunity to break through and rise.
In this way, what one million buys is not the so-called advantageous reputation, but sealing.
The young man in front of me must be silenced.
By sealing his mouth, you will have an advantage, a reputation, and an opportunity to break the situation.
Otherwise, with the current development speed of both sides, the disparity in strength will only become wider and wider. As time goes by, it will be difficult for the gods to save them.
Then he nodded and said: "Awesome, according to what you said, this million is indeed not much.
It's only a million dollars for a chance to break through and rise, even if it fails in the end, it's still worth it."
After saying that, the conversation changed: "But I can't say this alone. I need to ask the head office for instructions."
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for two hours and I'll have a satisfactory result."
Just like that, Jiang Chen was free and began to leisurely read newspapers and drink tea, but the unified headquarters located in the southern part of Baodao ushered in a discussion.
"That's pretty much the situation. What do you think?"
HD Source, the founder of Uni-President, is already sixty-six years old.
Regarding the rise and crushing of Master Kong, who is most humiliated is undoubtedly him.
There are not many people in the office, just a few core old guys, and son-in-law Luo Zhixian, who is also the special assistant at the Tainan headquarters and the inland Magic City headquarters.
Different levels lead to different perspectives on problems.
This group of people was very calm, and no one was angry because of a mere one million.
After a brief silence, someone soon said: "I think it's okay. One million can buy an opportunity. It's not expensive."
"I agree. I think it's more than one million. That's because the income level in mainland China is not high and the young man is alone.
But what if it is outside the mainland? What if the person who comes here is not a young man, but a company?
Isn’t there more?
But there’s essentially no difference.”
Soon someone said again.
The next step is similar. For these people at the top, money is not an issue, opportunities are what really matter.
HD Source then asked Luo Zhixian: "Zhixian, what do you think?"
Luo Zhixian thought for a while and replied: "I agree with all the uncles. One million is not much. It is worth it for a chance to break the situation."
After a pause, he added: "And what the other party said makes sense. Master Kong is already very powerful. It has developed to this point in just three years. If we don't work hard to break the situation, it will become increasingly difficult in the future."
HD Source nodded and took a sip of tea: "Yes, the development is so fast, I'm afraid they themselves didn't expect to grow to this extent in just a few years.
Yes, how about iced tea?"
Iced black tea is the first of its kind created by Uni-President. It was launched in East China in June. It is essentially a new battlefield for Uni-President to break the game.
Because instant noodles can’t beat...
Luo Zhixian replied calmly: "The performance is very good, I believe it will not take long to become popular across the country.
But in that case, Master Kong will definitely follow up, and with Master Kong’s current strength, I’m afraid the pressure we face will not be small.”
"So we need to be more prepared, right?"
"Yes, even if it proves unsuccessful in the end, it will only be a loss of one million, which we can fully afford.
But once it is feasible, the game may be broken immediately. Although Master Kong is very strong, he is not strong enough to start a war at the same time.
If pickled cabbage noodles are okay, then I predict that Master Kong will only be able to focus on one of the pickled cabbage noodles and iced black tea."
The advantages are accumulated slowly.
No one is invincible from the beginning and can fully blossom and defeat invincible opponents all over the world.
At least Master Kong hasn't reached that point yet.
On the other hand, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to make a comeback over time.
So Luo Zhixian was a little excited.
HD Source laughed: "If that's really the case, that would be great, then inform Jiangcheng and agree to the young man's request.
In addition, Zhixian, I want you to follow up on this matter in person. If the pickled cabbage noodles themselves don't work, that's it, but once they work, you must not miss this opportunity.
When Master Kong makes their braised beef noodles, we will fully promote our Laotan pickled cabbage noodles!" This chapter has been completed!
