Chapter 232: Conquering the Small with the Big
Next spring?!
Inoue was slightly stunned, but then suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha! Mr. Lu! Do you think this kind of little trick of delaying time is useful? Do you think I will give you this opportunity to delay time and think of countermeasures? Ridiculous!"
As soon as Inoue Xiong's words came out, the Dongying people in the living room who knew Huaxia also suddenly realized, and laughed closely.
This time, the Inoue family came to China with a better quality Dongying Yulu, just to catch the Fengtian Tea Enterprise Alliance off guard with He Ning!
In other words, today Inoue Xiong must know the attitude of the He Group, so as to carry out the next move!
If it is really delayed by Lu Yu until next spring, I am afraid that there will definitely be many variables in the meantime, after all, now the Chinese tea world has begun to change the direction of the wind, and the Chinese government is becoming more and more tough on the world stage!
Seeing this, He Ning couldn't help but sigh lightly, she actually thought that Lu Yu was buying time and room for herself and the tea enterprise alliance. Unexpectedly, this Inoue Xiong saw through the mystery at a glance!
Only Lu Yu's face still kept a smile, and only after Inoue Xiong laughed did he say slowly: "Mr. Inoue really thinks I'm playing tricks to delay time?"
Inoue joked, "Isn't it?"
Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, and suddenly turned his head to look at He Ning: "Do you believe me?"
The moment he made eye contact with Lu Yu, He Ning suddenly felt a stagnation in his heart!
Once upon a time, she also saw Lu Yu's eyes when she was eating tea in Maoxiang Teahouse!
That is an undeniable certainty!
Subconsciously, He Ning nodded lightly, "I believe you." ”
Lu Yu smiled slightly, turned his head again and said, "Mr. Inoue, I will bet on all the sales channels of the He Group in Bincheng, and use Huaxia's Yulu tea to bet on your Dongying Yulu!"
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the banquet hall!
All the sales channels of the Ho Group in Ben Thanh are what the Inoue family dreams of!
You must know that the reason why the Inoue family seeks sales agents in Huaxia and has been reluctant to withdraw the sales rights is precisely because the sales channels of all sales agents are the highest trade secrets!
It was precisely under this circumstance that the Inoue family had no choice but to accept the suggestion of the Fengtian Tea Enterprise Alliance to hold a business tea party, and only made an exception to come up with higher-end Gyokuro tea that was only sold in Dongying to deter these Chinese tea merchants!
But I didn't expect Lu Yu to directly take out the sales channel as a bet?!
Inoue Xiong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly looked at He Ning: "Chairman He, I want to know if Mr. Lu Yu has the right to make this decision for your group?"
Lu Yu's identity is not enough to decide this kind of thing, Inoue Xiong must get He Ning's approval.
He Ning glanced at Lu Yu deeply and nodded slowly: "What Mr. Lu Yu means is what I mean." ”
"Okay!" Inoue nodded, speaking a long piece of Japanese to an assistant in the distance.
Lu Yu squinted his eyes quietly, Inoue Xiong asked his subordinates to prepare the contract immediately, it seems that this bet really made him very tempted!
In fact, Inoue also knows that now that northern China has entered autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder.
According to the habit of drinking tea, at this time, Chinese people are more inclined to drink warm black tea or flower tea, which is already the off-season for green tea sales.
Launching your own Gyokuro tea at such a time is definitely not as shocking as when the spring tea was launched.
Moreover, the production of this Gyokuro tea from Fukuoka Prefecture is not high this year, and it was specially taken out by the Inoue family to lure the Fengtian tea merchants, and even if it is promoted now, it is impossible to have sufficient supply.
Now it is just taking advantage of Lu Yu's tea bet to delay the time slightly, even if there are any variables in the meantime, Inoue Xiong thinks that he has the means to deal with it! As long as he wins the tea bet next spring, then the He Group will naturally withdraw from the tea business world, and the Fengtian Tea Enterprise Alliance will still be self-defeating!
This is Inoue's wishful thinking.
But Lu Yu also had his own plans, he saw that Dongying's assistant was about to leave, and immediately smiled: "Slow!"
Inoue smiled contemptuously and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Yu smiled: "Of course not, but since it's a bet on tea, I don't know what Mr. Inoue's bet is?"
Wager......
Inoue didn't think that he would lose at all, so he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "What kind of bet does Mr. Lu think is appropriate?"
Lu Yu said with a smile: "It's very simple, first of all, you must agree to the two requirements just put forward by the Fengtian Tea Enterprise Alliance, and give the sales agency right of this Yulu tea in Huaxia to the He Group for free! Secondly, since I have taken out the sales channels of the He Group, then Mr. Inoue will naturally also take out your company's sales channels in Dongying." ”
Inoue Yuo was stunned: "Our family's sales channel in Dongying?"
For Lu Yu's first request, Inoue Xiong was already able to guess, but he couldn't help but be stunned for the requirements of the sales channel.
Inoue Co., Ltd. is not only a tea producer, they also have a number of stores in Toei and their own bulk sales channels.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is that even if there is a sales channel, can Lu Yu still take Huaxia tea to Dongying to sell?
You must know that Huaxia tea has been labeled as "low-grade tea" by the world tea industry, and not many people will buy it even in all Dongying tea stores.
Moreover, the taste of Dongying people is also different from that of Chinese people.
As mentioned before, the people of Dongying prefer green tea made by steaming green tea, and even if they can't afford to drink Gyokuro, there are a variety of teas to choose from, such as Dongying crown tea, bancha, sencha, etc. Most of the green tea in China is roasted green tea, and so far, only the top green tea and Yizhou green tea in mainland China have appeared in the Dongying market, and the sales situation is not optimistic.
Of course, more importantly, this bet is not equal, the Inoue family's sales channels spread to the whole country, while the Ho Group only has one place.
So Inoue couldn't help but say contemptuously: "Mr. Lu, is this trying to make things big with a small one?" Or is it deliberately making things difficult?"
Lu Yu shook his head and said: "Mr. Inoue thinks too much, our good tea in Huaxia is as bright as a star, even if you Dongying want to act as an agent for sales, we have to carefully investigate and consider, I need your sales channels, and it is just to promote the steamed green jade dew that bets on your tea, and the rest of your own tea products are still allowed to be sold through these channels." At the end of the day, it's your company that makes the money!"
Burst!
Inoue almost vomited blood when he heard this.
This Lu Yu is really shameless? You mean, we Dongying tea merchants will still beg to act as an agent for your Huaxia tea? What are you kidding? Huaxia's inferior tea also deserves to enter our Dongying market?!
But in this way, he also understood Lu Yu's ultimate request, and what Lu Yu asked for was not the ownership of the Inoue family's sales channels, but the power to use these sales channels to spread the business or even promote only one tea.
As for the ownership of the sales channel and the profits from the rest of the tea products, it is still in the hands of the Inoue family.
This is fundamentally different from him taking out all the sales channels of the He Group as a bet, and of course, this difference is enough to make up for the gap between the unequal sales channels of the two sides.
From these aspects, Lu Yu is not only not using small to be big, but even has a tendency to be big and small!
Because of this, Inoue Xiongcai forcibly did not refute Lu Yu's "arrogant words" just now. He pondered for a moment and said, "I completely agree with Mr. Lu's proposal, and now I will ask the family for instructions!"
