Chapter 1542 National brand, the backbone of responsibility!
As Ye Mulong finished speaking, several people also took their seats.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Wanrou spoke first: "Director Chen, what difficulties did your instant noodle factory encounter?"

As Qin Wanrou asked a question, the expression on Chen Guobin's face instantly became gloomy, as if someone had poked his weakness all at once.

"Hey……"

After a heavy sigh, Chen Guobin said: "To be honest, the domestic instant noodle market has been monopolized by many foreign-funded enterprises or joint ventures. The sales of our elephant instant noodles have been declining all the way. Now it is Forced to a corner."

"Just yesterday morning, many instant noodle companies in mainland Europe wanted to acquire our Elephant Instant Noodle Factory, and companies from overseas island countries also wanted to get involved in the equity of our Elephant Instant Noodle Factory."

"Now, I am about to be squeezed out of the domestic market by them."

As Chen Guobin spoke, he sighed again and again.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wanrou and Ye Mulong couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Since that's the case, shouldn't it be enough for Daxiang Instant Noodles to form a joint venture with them?"

Qin Wanrou asked puzzledly: "Now, don't many domestic instant noodle manufacturers cooperate with foreign-funded enterprises?"

"You provide domestic supply channels, and they provide you with technical support. With the deepening of cooperation, instant noodles can also be exported overseas and expand overseas markets. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Qin Wanrou's words are very reasonable. Business is alive and not static. Cooperation between two parties is better than fighting alone.

Moreover, similar cases abound. Many domestic instant noodle manufacturers have chosen the joint venture model. With a large amount of financial support, it devoured the domestic market.

After all, business has no borders!

"Miss Qin, I want to be a national brand, and I don't want those foreign-funded enterprises to get involved in my elephant instant noodle factory!" Chen Guobin pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth.

It's not like he hasn't thought about the benefits of foreign capital cooperation, but once a joint venture is made, the initiative may no longer be in his own hands.

And this elephant instant noodle factory with decades of history will eventually become a foreign brand. This is not Chen Guobin's original intention.

"Director Chen, business is all about strategy, not temper tantrums." Qin Wanrou frowned and couldn't help reminding her.

"The road of joint venture can be taken, and it can also expand overseas markets!"

"Enterprises from Continental Europe invest in your Elephant Instant Noodle Factory. It is true that you can use your channels to enter the domestic market, but similarly, you can also use the resources of Continental Enterprises to enter overseas markets!"

"Isn't this a win-win result?"

Today's Qin Wanrou's height is far beyond Chen Guobin's comprehension. In the past, when Qin Wanrou was still a small manager of the Qin family, she might have firmly supported Chen Guobin and developed a national brand.

But now, Qin Wanrou is in the position of a senior core member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The business market she sees is no longer just the domestic market, but the whole world!

Under such a macro vision, Chen Guobin really has a backbone in terms of human relationship if he wants to build a national brand, but in the business world, that is a no-brainer decision.

Now is the international economic situation, the product will be the winner only if it goes to the whole world!

Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, no matter how good you are as a national brand, if your product collapses, you can’t sell it, and there is no market, isn’t that just empty talk?
"Miss Qin, if there is a joint venture, I will lay off employees. You know the situation of our elephant instant noodle factory. If you want me to lay off those employees who have worked hard with me for half my life, I..."

Hearing that the layoffs were going to happen, the expression on Qin Wanrou's face also became serious.

Obviously, Qin Wanrou was also deeply entangled in this matter, and this expression made Ye Mulong frown.

"Wanrou, what's wrong?"

"Layoffs, is there anything wrong?"

"Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce still has many factories, and we can properly arrange for the laid-off employees of Elephant Instant Noodles, and they will not be laid off."

Ye Mulong patiently explained to Qin Wanrou.

However, at this moment, Qin Wanrou shook her head and said, "Husband, you don't know about Elephant Instant Noodle Factory..."

As she said that, Qin Wanrou took a meaningful look at Chen Guobin, and then explained: "The Elephant Convenience Factory employs a large number of disabled people, and nearly one-third of the entire factory is disabled."

Hearing this situation, Ye Mulong couldn't help but look surprised, and then turned to Chen Guobin.

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Qin, the families of those disabled people are very poor. They are also ordinary people in our land of China. They also want to live and live. They can't find a job, and no company is willing to use them, but they can't be forced. die?"

"We must find a way out for these people!"

"Our Elephant Instant Noodle Factory started from three small tile-roofed houses. Without the support of the common people, our Elephant Instant Noodle Factory would not be able to make it to where it is today. So I feel that our Elephant Instant Noodle Factory has to bear the burden. We are willing to help those with disabilities if we have a certain social responsibility.”

"Help can't just be about giving money. Give some money every year to give condolences. It's a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. We provide jobs for the disabled, let them have a living security, let them have humanistic care, and don't let them be excluded by society. Marginalization, they cannot really leave the society."

Having said that, Chen Guobin stood up, looked at Ye Mulong and Qin Wanrou with serious expressions, and said, "In recent years, foreign-funded enterprises have taken a fancy to our domestic instant noodle market. Other instant noodle manufacturers have basically cooperated with foreign-funded enterprises."

"And those big factories that got the support of foreign capital quickly squeezed our elephant instant noodles out of the market in the first-tier cities."

"My old Chen also knows that cooperation with foreign-funded enterprises is a win-win thing, but some things just don't have any logic at all, and they just can't accept those who bully our companies in the land of China and act as domineering!"

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Qin, I, Chen Guobin, am neither a hero nor a big shot. I just want to protect the brand of Elephant, and I don't want our own brand of Shenzhou Dadi to be polluted by foreign capital!"

"I don't have any grand goals or lofty ideals. What I want is to make the Elephant Instant Noodles survive, and let those disabled people who are living in difficulties have a place to eat!"

Having said that, Chen Guobin bowed deeply to Qin Wanrou and Ye Mulong straightly, and said: "Mr. Ye, Miss Qin, I already understand what you two mean, so I won't bother you, thank you both I can come, sorry."

Seeing Chen Guobin's attitude, Qin Wanrou was a little moved, and turned to Ye Mulong.

From the perspective of doing business, Chen Guobin's choice is absolutely unwise. The trend of the times is irreversible. If you have to go against it, the company will definitely not be able to continue.

But purely from the point of view of being a human being, Chen Guobin is an honest and admirable private entrepreneur!
"Mr. Chen, please stay!"

Seeing that Chen Guobin was about to turn around and leave after bowing deeply, Ye Mulong spoke and stopped Chen Guobin.
