Text Chapter 144: The Alliance Under the City

"What does it mean to completely separate the winners and losers?" Lao Fan had a sense of foreboding.

"That is, one party must clearly nod and admit defeat."

Lao Fan nodded, sweat broke out on his forehead, he agreed with Xiao Wang's analysis of the current situation, no matter how good the winner is, the people of Jiansheng Company will not stop competing. Lao Fan knows very well in his heart that the outcome of this competition is doomed, with the strength of Hongxiang Company, what can he compete with Jiansheng Company? In the current situation, if Hongxiang Company wants to win in the competition, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky! Isn't it obvious that the side that nods and admits defeat?

I knew this was the case, why bother at the beginning, but if I think about it carefully, for the survival of the company, it was not wrong to adopt this competitive strategy at the beginning, but it was a little excessive, who knew that Zhou Jianping reacted so strongly that he had to make you live and die before he gave up.

Seeing Lao Fan pacing in the room with his head bowed and no longer talking, Xiao Wang retreated with interest.

Lao Fan thought about it, weighed it in many ways, and continued to compete, and the final loser was undoubtedly Hongxiang Company. How can the company survive if it immediately admits defeat? It was really a dilemma, and the ending made him dare not imagine.

Since there is nothing to be done, just leave it behind and love it! Lao Fan, is this going to break the jar?

Lao Fan sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate, after about half an hour, maybe his mind was clear, he felt that life had to go on, and it was obviously not advisable to break the jar and break it, whether it was for himself or for the brothers in the company, it would not work to deal with it negatively.

"Yes, the bell must be tied to the bell, who started the matter and ended because of whom." Thinking of this, Lao Fan grabbed the phone on the table, "Hey, is it Mr. Zhou?" "Very polite to speak.

"I'm Zhou Jianping, who are you?"

"Mr. Zhou, I can't hear it, I'm the old fan of Hongxiang Company."

"Yo, Mr. Fan, who has a lot of opportunities, what do you have to do?" Zhou Jianping teased.

"I don't even know what to do. Mr. Zhou, is there any arrangement for noon? ”

"Noon? No arrangement, what, do you have something? ”

"I'll find a place to have a drink."

"Is Mr. Fan so laid-back? It's noon, and there's nothing to drink! ”

"You just said you wouldn't like to appreciate it, right?"

"Okay, you find a place, I'll invite you." Zhou Jianping sensed that Lao Fan was depressed, and he wanted to see what was going on.

It was still at the restaurant where they first met, and today it was Lao Fan who arrived first, and he even chose to sit at the table where they first met. After a while, Zhou Jianping walked into the restaurant and saw Lao Fan at a glance.

"Such a coincidence, does Mr. Fan remember? The first time we met, we were at this table. Zhou Jianping sat down opposite Lao Fan.

"Remember, I chose this place because I was nostalgic for the old days."

"Hey, with a nostalgic and sad expression, what's wrong with Mr. Fan today?"

"You order, I'll treat you today, don't compete with me."

Zhou Jianping was not polite, and took the menu and ordered two things casually.

Lao Fan was not very interested, he didn't talk much, he just cared about drinking, and drank the first glass of wine in a few sips, Zhou Jianping didn't want to drink so much, he had to get drunk after two glasses of wine quickly. "Mr. Fan, ask me to have a drink today, can't it be a casual bar?"

"What else do you think I can do but drink?"

What do you mean by that? Isn't your company doing a good job? ”

"Haha! Okay? Mr. Zhou didn't know, I was looking for you today just to raise the white flag to you and sign the alliance under the city. ”

Where do you start? Why raise the white flag and sign the alliance under the city? Zhou Jianping was inexplicable.

"Speaking of which, I also blame myself, competing with a powerful Jiansheng company, isn't that self-defeating, hitting a stone with an egg? Eventually, my head was bleeding. Lao Fan said without self-reproach.

"Mr. Fan, what exactly do you want to say?"

"It's very simple, just one sentence. Mr. Zhou, the competition of vegetable wholesale is over, and our Hongxiang company admits that it has completely failed, and we do not plan to do this business again in the future. ”

Although Zhou Jianping expected this to be the result sooner or later, he didn't expect things to develop so quickly, it was only two or three rounds, and Hongxiang Company couldn't support it, it seems that he overestimated the strength of the other party before.

"This, how can this be? We don't want to monopolize vegetable wholesale, why don't you do it? "This is not hypocrisy, but Zhou Jianping's true thoughts.

"I think it's better to forget it, your company is constantly raising the purchase price, and we really can't compete with you, we are willing to withdraw."

Lao Fan, who has been rampant in society for nearly 20 years, said this part, which made Zhou Jianping feel pity, in fact, Zhou Jianping's competitive concept is not to push the other party off the cliff, he has always believed that if he lives well, he must let others have a way to live, and it is never his creed to live or die.

"If you don't do wholesale vegetables, what do you want to do in the future?"

"I don't know, it happened suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared."

"Do you want to go back to your old business and charge off-site fees again?" This is what Zhou Jianping is most worried about.

"Mr. Zhou thinks too much, it's a point of no return, we won't be so stupid."

"If you don't do vegetable wholesale business, what will happen to your company and hundreds of employees? Push them out into society? Zhou Jianping said.

"I'm a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, it's hard to protect myself, how can I have the heart to think about these problems!" Old Fan looked depressed.

"Mr. Fan has always been a strong man, what's wrong with today? Like frosted eggplant. ”

"If a good man doesn't mention being brave back then, what can a strong man do? Didn't you still lose at the hands of your rising star? If it's planted, it's planted, I admit it, and you don't laugh at me. ”

"Although what you said is some angry words, I still have to clarify two facts, first, you and I are not all the way, and I don't even touch the things you did before; Second, our two companies are competing in business this time, not because of the mess in society. I would like to emphasize one of my points that the failure of competition in business does not mean that you have to quit the industry, which is not the same thing as you used to fight for territory in society. I don't agree with the kind of competition in the business field with you without me, with me without you. Zhou Jianping picked up the wine glass and took a sip of himself.

Lao Fan didn't take Zhou Jianping's words seriously at first, and the more he went on, the more focused he listened, "Mr. Zhou's words make me more and more confused the more I listen, I don't understand what you mean." ”

"I have a habit of not wanting to repeat what I have said a second time. Don't understand, do you? Then you take your time to understand. Zhou Jianping said.

"Listen to Mr. Zhou's meaning, we can continue to do vegetable wholesale, the problem is that you keep raising prices, even if we want to do it, we can't do it!"

"This is what I want to say next, since you still want to continue to do it, the two companies of Jiansheng and Hongxiang will stop competing, return to the previous state, and buy vegetables from vegetable farmers at the average market price, vegetable farmers do not suffer losses, wholesalers also have appropriate profits, and the two companies do their own thing. When the market is good, raise the price for vegetable farmers, and when the market is bad, no one should resist. ”

Lao Fan completely admitted defeat, and he was unwilling to return to the old business, which made Zhou Jianping very pleased, his own Jiansheng company did not take vegetable wholesale as the main business to do, since the other party wants to take the right path, Zhou Jianping is willing to give up part of the vegetable wholesale business, to Hongxiang Company a way out.

"Mr. Zhou, neither of us is drunk, do you mean this?" Lao Fan couldn't believe what Zhou Jianping said.

"You see you're a lot older than me, and you've seen a little bit of the world, right? How to make a fuss like a child. ”

"I'm afraid I've heard it wrong, and I'm happy in vain."

"What's the matter, are you there?"

"You don't know, before I met you today, I had already prepared for the worst ---- dissolve the company. What you said is equivalent to giving Hongxiang Company a way out, the company can operate normally, and the brothers have something to do. "Lao Fan's mood is high.

"But you have to remember that I want the two companies to live in peace, strictly abide by the way of management, make money for themselves, and benefit the vegetable farmers, in addition to the price, how to serve the vegetable farmers in the past, will continue to be the same in the future. In addition, I would like to emphasize that no matter how good the market is, no one should fight the idea of those agreement farmers, because they have signed an agreement with Jiansheng Company, which is protected by law. Zhou Jianping said.

"Mr. Zhou, rest assured, I will definitely tell the specific person you mean, and no one will violate the regulations."

"That's good, I hope the vegetable wholesale market will be calm from now on, and I won't ask about this business in the future."

"Mr. Zhou, brother, Lao Fan has done a lot of sorry things for you before, and I am here to make amends for you!" Lao Fan suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhou Jianping in a dignified manner.

This move made Zhou Jianping feel abrupt, "Mr. Fan, what are you doing here?" Between us, don't come with me to the society. ”

"It's not like I'm going to do that with you in society, I'm really sorry to you, you don't remember the villain, we used to go against you again and again, in the old wholesale market, we also charged your off-site fees, and then went to your new wholesale market to make trouble, and then deliberately competed with you. I really didn't expect you to let me go. Lao Fan said sincerely.

"What are these words! How do you call it a horse? I'll be honest with you, I decided to compete with you at that time, just to make you taste defeat through competition, so as to achieve the goal of making you follow the rules and not mess around. Now that the goal has been achieved, I never wanted to drive you out of the market, you don't have to say it so badly, this is not a river and lake, I don't like to hear that kind of talk, although I understand what you mean. ”

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it later. Listening to Mr. Zhou's meaning, he made the decision to compete with us at that time, and he had already set a goal? ”

"Of course, everything must have a goal, if you act on your will and decide by patting your brain, what is the difference between it and a green fly running into a mess?"

"Admire Mr. Zhou! People like us, like the green flies you say, have no plan or goal to do things, so they have achieved nothing so far. Come, my brother! Just now you said that you just asked about the vegetable wholesale business, I think you still have to take time to help with dim sum in the future. "Lao Fan is a rough person, once he is completely convinced, this kind of person also has a kind side.

"You remember, Hongxiang Company and Jiansheng Company are two companies, even if I ask once in a while, it has nothing to do with you. As long as the two companies are safe. Even if the relationship eased, Zhou Jianping didn't want to get too close to Lao Fan, he didn't like Lao Fan from the bottom of his heart.

"I know this, you are the boss of Jiansheng Company, even if you worry about it, it is only for your own business. I mean that if you ask more about this business, we will have the opportunity to meet, and by meeting with you, I can learn from you. "Lao Fan is not polite, and now he is throwing himself to the ground for the five bodies that Zhou Jianping admires.

"If you want to be beautiful, if you want to learn knowledge, you have to pay tuition."
