Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2271 If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight
Liu Ben's eyes became moist as he watched his men continuously canceling orders from customers. He had not made much profit from selling things for so many years, and this one surge in orders almost cost him all.

Following closely is the reputation of the store. Although the One Yuan Supermarket said that there was no impact, is it really that there was no impact? This is impossible!

Only our family is very smart. Among so many suppliers, only our family started to take advantage of the power of others in advance. The road ahead will be difficult.

"Pack up. After the factory inspection is over in a few days, we will go to Hebei to apologize to President Ji. One Yuan Supermarket is our financial sponsor now, which guarantees our good life in the future, but also various restrictions that follow."

"You are still young, I will bear these mistakes. You think too simply about many things, and your momentary impulse will often hurt yourself!"

Faced with the crying Liu Ben, Liu Xun still softened his heart.

Liu Ben has persevered for so many years just to create a more relaxed and comfortable environment for his family to grow up in. He already has two children, but his business is still not doing well.

There are mostly reasons of his own. The old friends who went south that year have now made a lot of money. When they get together every year, Liu Xun always forces himself to smile.

If I don't go, I will lose face for others, and I won't be able to ask for help when I need it. If I go, I will be the biggest foil in the crowd. Now that my family has a chance to turn things around, no matter how hard it is, the other party will not allow it to be lost.

Many companies that obtained supply qualifications in the same batch as Liu Xun and his group also made Liu Xun’s case a failure example and held meetings for the entire company to learn from it.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since we have accepted the contract with Yuanmart, we must know how to abide by the contract. Every one of you must learn a lesson from this incident. No one will give us a crown for free so that we can abuse our power. Do you understand? Whoever encounters this kind of thing in the future will resign!"

The largest local private food manufacturing company, a dairy company, held an expanded meeting for all employees regarding Liu Xun's family's situation.

As one of the few high-quality milk sources in China, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing is still reviewing its qualifications locally.

Among local brands, they have been insisting on original packaging in recent years and putting more costs into ensuring quality.

The result was that the company had always been lukewarm in competition with other brands of milk powder across the country. This time, Yuanta Supermarket sent a large factory inspection team to inspect the factory, and the company's leaders were flattered.

On the first day, 500 kilograms of various samples were packed onto the truck. It was not free, but the inspection was paid for by Yuan Yuan Supermarket.

What is a large enterprise? This operation alone can beat most domestic and global enterprises. It does not impose economic costs on suppliers and moves upstream.

The packaging of this dairy company is very much to the liking of Yuanta Supermarket, it is simple and the quality of the milk is very pure.

According to the requirements of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, once the supply begins, the factory must order a mobile factory from Yiyuan Equipment for use on its own ranch to ensure zero additives in milk powder and save the distance from the ranch to the terminal.

The practice of providing the technology for free made the factory owner very happy. Not only that, Yiyuan Ranch's quality control also came along, which enabled the milk powder factory to upgrade its technology by one generation and further reduce costs.

"Will Ji Donglai's development of local finance lead to a monopoly?"

Lu Lu's grandparents also saw that Yuanta Supermarket was looking for suppliers locally, and Jiang Haokun's financial activities in the local area had brought conflicts with some local people.

Now someone has started to complain, and the old couple has also received the news. After looking at all the information, they began to worry.

"A reminder?"

Taking off her glasses, the old lady put the documents in front of her husband and thought about Lu Lu and Jiang Hao Kun.

"Forget it. If the locals are doing well, then it's someone else's turn to do it. Young people can do it themselves, so we don't have to worry too much! Take some time to invite Ji Dong to have a meal. He has taken care of Lu Lu's family for many years."

Without agreeing to the old lady's request, the old man picked up the phone and called Jiang Haokun.

Jiang Haokun happened to be with Ji Donglai. After soaking in the big pool for half a day, Ji Donglai fell asleep.

"Brother Ji, Lu Lu's grandparents want to have a meal with us, what do you think?"

Jiang Haokun didn't like Lu Lu's grandparents, and Ji Donglai opened his eyes.

"Please arrange your time. We are heading south soon!"

Ji Donglai didn't like to be with this group of old people, so Jiang Haokun made a reservation for the evening at a local military restaurant next to the old couple's residential area.

Ji Donglai and Jiang Haokun arrived early, and the old couple arrived almost on time.

"Hello, grandpa and grandma, I'm Ji Donglai!"

Ji Donglai appeared very respectful as he stood up and made room for the two old men.

The old man smiled in response, but the old lady's face showed no signs of yin or yang.

"Donglai, your business has been doing well in recent years. Thank you for taking care of Mr. and Mrs. Lu. I'm old and not good at drinking, so let's have some tea." The old man picked up the cup, and Ji Donglai quickly stood up and clinked it with the other party.

"As it should be, we are in a cooperative relationship. We have superiors and subordinates at work, but we are brothers and sisters after work!"

After taking a sip of tea, Ji Donglai smiled and said to the old couple, Jiang Haokun handed the menu to the two elderly people, saying that he and Ji Donglai had no dietary restrictions.

The two of them did not hesitate to order two vegetarian dishes, and the rest went to Jiang Haokun. Ji Donglai was not actually hungry.

"Xiao Ji, you are now involved in finance and industry, and you are also involved in the basic industries of people's livelihood. Isn't this a bit of a monopoly? The company should move towards high-end development, and it is best not to continue to interfere in some industries."

When the first dish was served, the old lady spoke.

Jiang Haokun's face immediately turned ugly. Ji Donglai just glanced at him lightly and thought to himself that he had come to the wrong place today.

"Grandma, let's not talk about work today, let's have a family dinner! Lu Lu knew Brother Ji earlier than I did, and he has taken care of Lu Lu longer than I have. We usually get along like a family."

Facing the old lady, this time Jiang Hao Kun directly expressed his unhappiness.

Lu Lu's grandfather also quickly turned around and signaled to his wife not to say anything more.

"You should only speak clearly to your own family members. Now that so many capital interest groups have extended their hands to the field of fruits and vegetables, this is called competing with the people for profits. It has been a taboo since ancient times. I still think that this should not be done. Xiao Ji, think about what I say when you have nothing to do, and then give me an answer!"

The old lady held a high position before she retired, and she spoke with great authority.

Jiang Haokun pursed his lips, thinking that he had come to the wrong place today. He opened his mouth to say something to Ji Donglai but couldn't.

"It's okay, Hao Kun. Grandma is right. We are all family, so we should talk it out. Since grandma said so, I want to ask you, what do you think the fruit and vegetable industry should be like? Should we let the people run it themselves or what should we do?"

Faced with the old lady's idealism, Ji Donglai made an invitation and asked Ran Bo to pour tea for her.

Ran Bo disliked the old lady in his heart, but he still did it.

"Let small capital do these things. The profits should be dispersed, instead of being concentrated in the hands of you people now. When the money belongs to you oligarchs, how can ordinary people live..."

The old lady criticized Ji Donglai, while Jiang Haokun covered his forehead with one hand, almost exploding.

He looked at the two old people opposite through his fingers, especially the old lady who was talking incessantly. Ji Donglai was listening with a smile all the time. The old lady finished speaking ten minutes later.

"Grandma, now that you've finished speaking, I'm going to speak now!"

Seeing the old lady's bitter and resentful expression, Ji Donglai raised his teacup to her.

"I'll take a break first, you talk!"

From the other party's point of view, everything was fine before, but now it is Ji Donglai and his gang who are causing trouble and making the situation so chaotic. Ji Donglai is the synonym of capitalist.

"First of all, I didn't take the initiative to participate in the local vegetable basket. It was invited by the local minister, and I didn't want to do it here. From an economic perspective, the food produced in Hebei and Henan grain-producing areas is completely sufficient to meet the needs of Yuan Supermarket, even if the market demand is doubled."

"Last year, many suppliers told us they wanted to raise some of their profits, even if it meant lowering prices! As for agricultural products such as vegetables, there are still more than 5,000 planting bases in the market that hope that Yuan Supermarket will go there for certification. Even if they don't supply Yuan Supermarket, they are willing to pay any price just for a certification."

"I want to ask you, grandma, is this phenomenon really caused by our monopoly on the market? You should know that we have opened no more than 20 one-yuan supermarkets across the country, and we have never entered any market outside the customs."

"It's not that we can't afford it, it's that we simply don't care about the profits of Yuan Supermarket. Compared with the 200% return on investment of chips and high-tech industrial products, the 4-5% return on agricultural products is insignificant!"

"The monopoly you mentioned doesn't apply here! Do you have anything else you want me to answer?"

There have long been voices in the market that Yiyuan Zhizao is suspected of monopoly. As Yiyuan Zhizao's influence expands, such voices are getting louder and louder. Ji Donglai has already identified the sources of some of the voices, but he is too lazy to pay attention to them.

Today, the people opposite were Lu Lu’s grandparents, and Ji Donglai answered patiently.

The old lady was speechless for a moment, and Ji Donglai did not let her speak.

"As for what you said about letting ordinary people and small capital run their own business, I can't say it's wrong, but I can say it's ridiculous! The excessive addition of melamine to tainted milk powder was the farmers' own decision! Without the strict implementation and control standards of large institutions, this so-called self-awareness is out of the question."

"People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm, and ordinary farmers who have not received higher education are even more so! When it comes to vegetables, there are even more! We used to buy vegetables from outside at Yiyuan Ranch, but the farmers directly sprayed the vegetables with highly toxic pesticides. Eating them will not only affect health, but may even kill people!"

"Sudan Red and toxic rice are all added by small business operators themselves. This will never happen in Yuan Supermarket. The reason why Yuan Supermarket is so popular now is not because we have completed the market monopoly, but because we strictly control a red line and help consumers firmly keep this red line!"
