Chapter 148: Take sides

Xiao's, Health Care Hall, and the four major wholesalers joined forces to suppress Huayuan, which attracted the attention of almost all businesses in the industry in Zhonghai City, and many people with a keen sense of smell realized that the three-legged pattern of the first echelon was about to be broken, and after the end of this game, it may lead to an overall reshuffle in the industry, with opportunities and crises coexisting.

At this time, for those mid-end and low-end businesses in the industry, how to choose to stand in line has become an imminent problem.

On the last working day of last week, there were four businesses that were not deeply involved in the interests of Huayuan publicly announced that they would end their cooperation with Huayuan this year ahead of schedule, and more businesses with Huayuan who had a cooperative relationship were ready to move, which shows that the prospects of Huayuan are generally not very optimistic in the industry, and it is not surprising that the two parties in the first echelon work together to deal with the third party, which is an obvious advantage, coupled with the help of the entire second echelon, on the surface, the outcome of this game is indeed not too much suspense.

And just after the weekend, the first working day of this week, Huayuan, which has been silent before, finally has a movement, a morning time, managers above the level of managers in the industry, respectively, and dozens of cooperative businesses in charge of telephone communication, as of noon, there are five businesses have announced that the end of cooperation with Huayuan in advance, counting the four businesses that withdrew last week, the turnover rate reached about 20%, the situation can be described as very grim.

As soon as this news was confirmed, the outside wind was almost one-sided to Huayuan's negative, and various speculations and rumors arose, such as: Huayuan's president is about to change hands, Xiao Shi and Jiankang Tang will eventually join Huayuan's board of directors to reorganize Huayuan, Huayuan will be forced to withdraw from the medicinal materials industry, etc...

On the contrary, Hua Yuan, as the person concerned, seemed quite calm, and no one at the top stood up to respond to these market rumors, and the silent and laissez-faire attitude was very intriguing, did he even give up the initial resistance?

The answer, of course, is no, and silence can be a passive acquiescence or a precursor to a violent counterattack.

Luoshi's natural jewelry provided Huayuan with a loan of 150 million yuan, the first 50 million yuan has already arrived, and the remaining 100 million yuan will be fully received in batches in the next two weeks; Zhonghai City Medicinal Materials Association is named Wuxiu, and Ah Du, who has reached the realm of acquired success at the age of 27, signed a contract with Huayuan, and the franchise fee is 2.5 million yuan in the industry; Luoshi Zhenbang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Huayuan have reached an agreement to transfer the share of Meishi and one city in this province to Huayuan, the details of which have not been disclosed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after several major Internet mainstream media announced the above three latest developments about Huayuan on the homepage of the main site at the same time, the industry in Zhonghai City suddenly fell into a strange silence, and the rumors that had been fermented in the market before were all self-defeating at this moment.

Huayuan is going to give up resistance? It is clear that it wants to fight head-on with Xiao Shi and other six merchants, and even the balance of victory and defeat is not as everyone takes for granted, and it can be expected that after this game, no matter what the victory or defeat, the industry in Zhonghai City will surely change.

......

In the office of Zhonghai Medicinal Materials Association, a quaint five-story protected building, in a small conference room, Lu Longhao sat in a cowhide sofa, holding his chin with one hand, and his old face wrinkled into chrysanthemums, as if he had encountered something brain-hurting, and another old man of the same age sat opposite him, with a round head and a smooth look, also showing a tangled and indecisive expression.

The old man is the executive director of the association, You Guangping, one of the most supportive of Lu Longhao in the association.

"President, Xiao Shi, Health Hall, and the four major wholesalers have joined forces to do this, should they intervene appropriately. ”

Hearing Director You's tentative proposal, Lu Longhao looked at him, did not express his position, and said: "Lao You, if you make such a fuss to the end, what do you think will be the final result?"

Director You smiled bitterly: "Originally, I was definitely not optimistic about Huayuan, but now, it's hard to say..."

"If Huayuan is just blindly defensive, maybe it will really survive until the day of listing. Lu Longhao muttered to himself, and there was a hint of profundity in his slightly cloudy old eyes: "But what I don't understand is that at this time, Huayuan expanded outward and won a share of the market, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, is that rumor true?"

At the end of Lu Longhao's words, his tone became extremely uncertain, but when he heard it in Director You's ears, it shocked him: "No, Huayuan has only been involved in the medicinal materials industry for less than a year and a half, and it is already a miracle to be able to climb to the first echelon of the municipal level, even if the ambition is great, at least you have to wait for the successful listing before trying to forge ahead, and the difficulty of crossing this from municipal merchants to provincial merchants..."

I didn't say any more here, Director You quietly observed Lu Longhao's face, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the Lu family has been attacking the provincial level for five years, and the initial investment is no less than two billion, and the road ahead is still a vast one, Huayuan is not a little worse than the Lu family's heritage, and now I want to jump into the dragon gate, it is simply a fool's dream.

I am a veteran in the industry, this kind of businessman's usual trick of putting smoke bombs, how can I still take it seriously, shouldn't it, thinking like this, Director You's face was also a touch of self-deprecation.

Lu Longhao was noncommittal, patted the armrest of the sofa with his palm, and said slowly according to his own thoughts: "To be honest, I also thought it was very ridiculous when I heard that rumor, but now, Huayuan's actions have made me have to re-examine, since the female child of the Lin family took charge of Huayuan three years ago, has Huayuan brought less surprise and shock to the business world?" It took only one and a half years to transform from a real estate contractor with negative assets to a medicinal material business, and it took less than a year and a half from opening the first pharmacy to entering the first echelon. ”

"This..."Director You was shocked beyond measure.

"I received a call from Qiu Ruoyu this morning, she told me on the phone that the masterminds behind the robbery of Huayuan's escort car some time ago were the Xiao family and the Ge family, although she did not give specific advice on how to deal with it, but the intention was very obvious, that is, to let the association give an attitude, at this juncture, she did not want anyone to stay out. ”

At this point, the hesitation on Lu Longhao's face disappeared in an instant, but it was replaced by a look of decisiveness, and he slapped him heavily, "Lao You, inform all the directors of the association that an emergency meeting will be held tomorrow morning, and if you can't be there, you must send a representative to attend." ”

Director You shuddered in his heart, he knew that Lu Longhao had made up his final decision, not so much that the Medicinal Materials Association had chosen a position, but that the Lu family had made a choice to stand in line, and once the final side was wrong, President Lu was afraid that he would have to step down from the chairman's throne in advance.

Is Huayuan really worthy of this trust?

"Yes, yes, President. Even though there was a lot of doubt in his heart, under Lu Longhao's blazing gaze, Director You didn't have the courage to say anything questioning, and nodded mechanically.
