Lu Yiming lowered his head and looked at Duan Letian, who was hanging on his leg like a koala. He couldn't help but reached out and pinched his little cousin's chubby face, flattened it and rounded it, then smiled.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Before Duan Letian could complain, his cousin Luo Rujun came out and scolded him with a sullen face: "You have the nerve to cry to your cousin? You spent your pocket money to buy some crispy noodles, it's so hard to eat.

You get angry and have ulcers all day long, and I haven’t even beaten you yet.”

"Ouch, my little baby is angry? Come and see for me, ah..."

As soon as Ning Xuehua heard this, he quickly walked over, pulled Duan Letian into his arms, and asked Duan Letian to open his mouth quickly.

After seeing a lot of white "bubbles" on her gums, she touched Duan Letian's head with a distressed look on her face: "It's true, this is a serious case of getting angry. You have to pay attention to it. Don't worry about it in the future."

Eat something hot like that. I'll get you some herbal tea. Just drink it and you'll be fine."

After teaching his son a lesson, Luo Rujun couldn't help but cursed and said: "I don't know what kind of evil-doing guy used cards to trick children into buying dry noodles. Our family is happy. Now we buy at least three packs of rice a day.

None of them taste good.”

Ning Xuehua also chimed in and said: "Recently in our community, almost every student on the street has a bag of crispy noodles. I thought this stuff was so delicious, but it turns out that the children are all here for the cards.

"

Both of them clearly hated this and criticized unscrupulous merchants verbally and in writing.

Lu Yiming, who was silent at first, saw the two people scolding each other more and more, so he coughed twice and said with an embarrassed expression: "Mom, cousin, stop scolding me, I was the one who made this thing. Mom, you

Do you remember that you just saw the advertisement a few days ago..."

Luo Rujun, Ning Xuehua: "..."

Ning Xuehua remembered that Lu Yiming seemed to be a shareholder of Shi Jinji, but she didn't know that this product was created by Lu Yiming. After all, the signboard of the crispy noodles was clearly a red panda.

"Did you make this crispy noodles?"

Lu Yiming sighed and confided the truth to the two of them: "I was originally one of the major shareholders of Shijinji. In order to turn losses into profits and help the company tide over difficulties, I started this card project."

Luo Rujun has a son who is a foodie like Duan Letian, so he naturally knows how popular the Red Panda Crispy Noodles product is, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Have you really invested in Shijinji? Doesn't that mean you can make a lot of money?"

Already?"

In front of his family, Lu Yiming was quite reserved. He waved his hands modestly and said, "It's just so-so. I don't make much money."

Of course Luo Rujun would not believe that such a popular product could not earn much money, but she thought that Lu Yiming did not want to be too public. Then she thought of the Hurun Rich List, and couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart. She asked Lu Yiming in a low voice and said: "

Mingzi, by the way, your current assets really are 4.2 billion?"

Fourty-two billion.

In this era, anyone with 420,000 yuan is considered rich.

Who wouldn't be envious of being able to buy a large flat in downtown Baiyun?

And what about 4.2 billion?

I can buy 10,000 units of this large flat!

Anyway, Luo Rujun could no longer imagine how so much money would be spent. To her, this was an astronomical sum of money.

Ordinary people, if not crazy about the rich list, are at least quite interested in it.

However, when Lu Yiming faced this Hurun Rich List, he hated it deeply. He sighed deeply and said boredly: "Absolutely."

Now relatives and friends basically know about Lu Yiming's situation. After all, Hurun has posted all his photos, and they are in high-definition and uncensored. It is difficult for people not to know.

That is because the time is still short, and not many people know the address of the Lu family. Otherwise, relatives from all over the country who are far away from home may form groups and come to "borrow money".

When you are poor in the busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.

Just when Lu Yiming was deeply troubled, there were people who felt as melancholy as him.

Ferrero Baiyun Representative Office.

Chu Tianyu looked at Lu Qinghe, the head of the sales department, with uncertain eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why is it that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, but the sales of our Ferrero chocolate candies are growing slowly? Is it you?

Not doing things well?"

Facing Chu Tianyu's doubts, Lu Qinghe was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

He had previously switched jobs from Shijinji to Ferrero, and he was still thinking of working in a foreign company. The salary would be better than that of a private company in Xia Guo, right?

However, the reality slapped him hard in the face.

In the first few days when he came to Ferrero, he was really excited for a while. After all, he got a promotion and a salary increase, and working in a foreign company gave him more face, and he was often envied by his neighbors and his relatives and friends.

But the good times did not last long, and now Shi Jin Ji has soared into the sky!

For those who did not leave at the beginning, their wages and job prospects now far exceed those of those who left.

Faced with Chu Tianyu's questioning, Lu Qinghe had no choice but to explain: "Representative Chu, our sales department has really tried its best. Is it possible that there is a problem in product promotion because the discounts are not strong enough?"

As a professional, what can you do if you don’t know how to take the blame?

Although I don’t know why the market’s response suddenly turned cold, in Lu Qinghe’s view, the reason why the product is not selling well must be because the price is high, and it is definitely no problem to launch a wave of promotions!

Afraid that the blame was not thrown away thoroughly enough, Lu Qinghe continued: "I visited several large supermarkets and found that Xu Fuji's candy promotions have been very strong recently. The buy two get one free campaign has taken off. Our Ferrero Rocher's sales

Low, they must have been sniped by them!"

As a returnee from overseas, Chu Tianyu, who had studied abroad all year round, was almost blind to the current situation in Xia Country. After listening to Lu Qinghe's explanation, he felt that it seemed to make some sense, and immediately made a decision: "Since

If that’s the case, then we at Ferrero will also have a candy promotion, buy two and get one free at Hsu Fu Chi, right? Let’s buy one and get one free!”

He shoulders the mission of opening up the Xiaguo market, and the Chinese New Year is the peak sales season for high-end chocolates like Ferrolet. If the sales results are not good, he, Chu Tianyu, will bear a lot of responsibility!

When Lu Qinghe saw that he had succeeded in throwing away the blame, a stone fell in his heart, and he quickly agreed: "Representative Chu is wise, I will make arrangements right away!"

At the same time, the Hsu Fuji headquarters is located in Xingguang Village, Huangjiang Town, Guancheng.

The Xu brothers also gathered together. The four of them looked at the reports fed back by the sales department and frowned.

Xu Wei said with a puzzled expression: "Our promotions are very strong, how come the sales volume is so small?"

Xu Han, the third youngest member of the gang who had been in Baodao for a while, frowned at this moment, and his eyes showed a bit of ferocity: "Could it be that the salesman below was cheating? I've said it a long time ago,

Mainlanders are just unreliable!”

The second eldest son, Xu Cheng, shook his head and said something fair: "I've done a secret inspection, and the salespeople are basically working hard. After all, sales are linked to their bonuses, and no one will have trouble with money."

The fourth child, Xu Geng, pinched his chin and pondered: "Then what is the problem? Could it be Ferrero's fault? That guy Chu Tianyu has also been doing promotions recently, and he directly put up a buy-one-get-one-free banner.

, it is clear that it is targeting us."

After Xu Cheng heard this, he immediately said unhappily: "Chu Tianyu, this turtle grandson is really not a thing. If you are celebrating the New Year, you have to get along with our Xu Fuji, right?"

Xu Hang gritted his teeth and his temper became violent: "We can also buy one and get one free. Even if we don't make money, we have to increase sales first and we can't lose market share."

"I think it's okay."

"Fuck him! How dare a banana be so arrogant."

"Let's go head-to-head to see who can win in the end."

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and Xu Fuji began to gear up, preparing to compete with Ferrero Rocher to become the overlord of the Spring Festival candy market.

In this way, without any communication between the two parties, a chain of suspicion between each other was quietly born, and both parties started an "arms race" in the candy industry with a tacit understanding.

However, a week passed, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand several times, but our sales still showed no improvement.

That’s not to say that sales have not increased at all. After all, there are many people buying candies during the Chinese New Year. However, although sales have increased, they have not increased completely. They have only increased a little, which is far from the original expectations.

Xu Wei, who lost inexplicably, had to personally lead a group of people to conduct a serious and meticulous market research, and soon discovered the crux of the problem.

He returned to the company with a gloomy face and called a meeting of all shareholders.

Xu Hang asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you suddenly call everyone here for a meeting? What did you find out?"

Xu Wei let out a long sigh and told what he saw with his own eyes: "After my careful investigation and research during this period of time, I have found the reason for the unsatisfactory sales of Xu Fu Ji."

Xu Geng couldn't wait to ask: "Is it Ferrero's fault? I know these foreign devils are really evil!"

Xu Wei shook his head, and his tone was somewhat sighing: "It's not Ferrero's problem. Ferrero's sales are worse than ours."

Domestic people like to eat candies during the Chinese New Year, but chocolate is only popular among young people. During the Chinese New Year, more people buy candies than chocolate at home. Therefore, even if Ferrero buys one and gets one free, there is still no improvement.

This is no different than after the 21st century, when all those born in the 1980s and 1990s have grown up, and they are the main consumers of foreign things like chocolate.

Xu Hang scratched his head with a puzzled expression on his face: "No, this is unreasonable. If you don't eat candy or chocolate, what will you eat during the Chinese New Year? Drink the northwest wind?"

Xu Cheng was also filled with questions: "There are only a few powerful candies in Guangdong Province. It's not us, it's not Ferrero, who else could it be? I haven't heard of any of our peers' products selling very well recently."

Market share can’t just disappear for no reason, right?”

Faced with everyone's doubts and confusion, Xu Wei smiled bitterly and finally revealed his answer: "It's not my colleagues, it's Shi Jin Ji who stole our business."

Xu Hang's eyes widened immediately after hearing this: "Brother, are you serious when you say this? Shi Jin Ji has cut off the candy business now. They sell crispy noodles. How could they take it away?

Our business selling candy?”

Xu Wei sighed again: "I know this answer is outrageous, but it is the truth."

Later, in front of the company's shareholders, Xu Wei explained the truth he saw: "Shijinji recently launched a golden rabbit to celebrate the Spring Festival. It is an assorted snack similar to the Wangwang gift package. It not only includes dry noodles.

, and some other miscellaneous snacks are sold together.”
