Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 257 Vigilance

Wu Fuwei did not seem the least bit angry, still smiling as he said, "Mr. Qin, you've only started Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company a few months ago, and $150 million is not a small amount."

A hint of annoyance flashed across Qin Hao's face. Clearly, Wu Fuwei was not here to sincerely buy out his company.

The current market value of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company was at least over $500 million.

Qin Hao said, "Mr. Wu, I have no intention of selling the Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company. I believe it can go much farther."

Wu Fuwei smiled as he spoke, "Mr. Qin, you should really think it over, otherwise in a few days, Jiangshan Roasted Duck won't be worth that much."

The threat in his tone was very clear.

Qin Hao's face turned cold. "Show the guests out."

Feng Xiangyi and Nie Si, expressionless, stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, please." Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

With his people, Wu Fuwei left, and in the reception room, Qin Hao asked, "How has our roast duck store been performing these past few days?"

Feng Xiangyi said, "Right now, our daily turnover stays around $100,000, but Mr. Qin, I think there's something not quite right."

"What is it?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

Feng Xiangyi replied, "There are shops around our roast duck store that are being renovated, and I had someone inquire about them. They belong to Wu Roasted Duck."

Qin Hao sneered, "So he's giving me a show of politeness followed by a threat. He doesn't see what he's up against."

Feng Xiangyi said softly, "Mr. Qin, we can't ignore this. We have to prepare countermeasures.

Although Wu Roasted Duck's taste is far from ours, the Wu Group has connections and influence in Jianghai's roast duck industry.

The market here is already saturated. Our expansion and development of Jiangshan Roasted Duck here are like cutting into their flesh.

Mr. Qin, do you think they would just sit back and watch you take their profits?"

She thought far ahead and spoke very clearly; developing Jiangshan Roasted Duck in Jianghai City wouldn't be easy.

Jiangshan, being a third-tier city without strong competitors, expanded rapidly.

But Jianghai is different from Jiangshan; it has various roast duck companies.

From large nationwide franchises to small, simple roast duck workshops.

The market share here has already been cleanly divided among various roast duck businesses.

Now Jiangshan Roasted Duck entering is like a hungry wolf, directly seizing many others' interests.

If those people are not fools, they can certainly see how great a threat Jiangshan Roasted Duck poses.

So, there are only two paths before them: one is to ignore Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company, each going their own way.

The second is to join hands in resisting Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company, to preserve their own benefits.

In the market, having a high-quality product does not guarantee you will come out on top.

Sometimes a product can drive social progress, but if it touches someone's interests,

they will not hesitate to crush it.

For some capitalists, profits trump everything.

...

The arrival of Wu Fuwei today is very likely a probing by those people.

Having understood the ins and outs of the situation, Qin Hao found himself looking at Feng Xiangyi more appreciatively.

If it weren't for her reminder, Qin Hao would perhaps never have considered these aspects.

If he hadn't thought about these, when those people come together to resist Jiangshan Roasted Duck,

what awaits him might indeed be a bleak departure from the Jianghai market.

Qin Hao looked at Feng Xiangyi and asked, "Mr. Feng, what do you think we should do now?"

Feng Xiangyi replied, "Mr. Qin, the biggest threat to us right now is the supply."

"If those roasted duck companies band together to boycott us, those duck farms won't dare sell us live ducks,"

"Without access to live ducks, it's as if someone has grabbed us by the lifeline."

"We must build our own production base as quickly as possible,"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mr. Feng is right, only by creating a production chain that handles manufacturing, processing, and selling can we avoid being controlled by others. But currently, I'm afraid all our actions are being monitored by those people."

"Acquiring duck farms is probably not going to be easy either."

Feng Xiangyi nodded slightly, "You're right, this matter can only be done covertly."

Qin Hao, "Mmm, I will have someone handle this matter. Mr. Feng, have your people be extra vigilant these days as well."

Feng Xiangyi, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. I will pay attention."

Qin Hao nodded slightly. In the past, he was somewhat arrogant and looked down on all domestic roasted duck companies.

But now he knew he was wrong, and terribly so.

A company possessing high-quality products does not necessarily dominate the market.

That's just the basic prerequisite. What's most important is the company's operation."

Back in his office, Qin Hao sat in his office chai, frowning and contemplating something.

Nie Si poured him a cup of tea, then sat there processing documents.

A few minutes later, Qin Hao took out his phone, intending to make a call. He glanced at Nie Si, then got up and walked out of the office.

He went outside the company and called Li Moying on his cell phone.

Calling Li Moying was a decision he had pondered over repeatedly. He had also considered Xu Siyao,

but his medicinal materials came from Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group. If Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical was to acquire duck farms, it would be too conspicuous.

Those people probably also knew about his relationship with Xu Jiekang, so Xu Jiekang's side was not very safe either.

However, not many people knew about his relationship with Li Moying.

The call connected quickly, and Li Moying laughed, "Master, are you calling me because there's something you need?"

Qin Hao, somewhat embarrassed, "Indeed, there's a matter for which I need your help."

Li Moying, "Say no more, I'll definitely help you if it's something I can handle."

Qin Hao, "Where are you now? Is it convenient to talk?"

Li Moying, "I'm at home sleeping, go ahead, Master."

Qin Hao, "I want to acquire a few duck farms but I can't show up publicly, so I need you to handle the acquisitions."

"Acquire duck farms? Sure, Master, how many do you want to acquire?" Li Moying was astute and understood his deeper implications.

Qin Hao said with a smile, "However many you can handle, I'm not worried about being unable to manage them, just worried that you might not be able to negotiate successfully."

Li Moying snorted, "Master, are you looking down on me? If I manage to negotiate successfully for you, what should you owe me?"

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, you tell me what you want me to do, as long as I can do it."

Li Moying, "I can't think of anything right now, I'll tell you when I do. Just make sure you don't forget."

Qin Hao smiled, "Mmm, I won't forget."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. With Li Moying stepping in, this matter should be doable.

But he couldn't place all his hopes solely on Li Moying.

Back inside the company, he called Kangyou Yee at the headquarters, asking him to expand the scale of the duck farms,

Jiangshan was their stronghold. If Li Moying's efforts were to fail, Qin Hao could still rely on their main base there, although it would incur higher transportation costs.
