474. Hold your breath

"Even if we don't treat them like this, do you think the Huo family will let us go easily? Or do you still not understand, why did the Huo family come to trouble us? Huo Bufan asked.

Jian Sisi and the others were puzzled, and asked, "Isn't it because of the electronics factory?" ”

"Of course not." Ning Xueqing said: "Our new cooperation with Tang's International has caused a shock in the industry, and many companies have taken the initiative to seek cooperation. The Huo family didn't come because they felt that New Hope was just a small company and was not worthy of cooperating with them. So, they want to put pressure on them to prepare for the next acquisition. ”

"Acquisition?" Qiao Dongliang, director of the public relations department, stood up and said angrily: "Then they are too much, do they really use us as soft persimmons!" ”

"Don't be angry, it's normal in the mall. Including us, when we see some companies with more potential in the future, we will also think about buying them, but everyone uses different methods. Huo Bufan waved his hand, signaling Qiao Dongliang not to get excited, and then said: "So the most important thing now is to keep a calm mind and not be disturbed by them." ”

At this time, someone came over and reported: "Boss, Mr. Ning, the people of the Huo family are gone." ”

"Gone? Did they say anything? Ning Xueqing asked.

"I didn't say anything, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to be quite angry." The man replied.

Ning Xueqing hummed, then looked at Huo Bufan and asked, "What are you going to do now?" I don't think they're going to leave and give up on this like that. ”

"Of course they won't." Huo Bufan said: "With my understanding of the Huo family, their coming today is a signal. If it can be negotiated, it is naturally the best, and it does not need to work hard. But if it can't be negotiated, they must have a plan B ready for them. Moreover, there is a high probability that this plan is related to malicious competition. So from now on, I ask the whole company to be well prepared. In addition, let the production workshop work overtime to make enough products. On the planning department's side, within 12 hours, come up with a set of plans to do activities, and there is only one requirement, nationwide participation! ”

Huo Bufan's tone and expression were very serious.

He really knew the Huo family very well, and he could almost guess what Huo Liqun and Huo Qingyun were going to do.

But the saying that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles is not true.

When the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, the difference in skill can be ignored. New Hope is like a baby to the Huo family, if you don't cheer up, it will be difficult to get through this crisis.

Everyone stood up and nodded very seriously: "Yes!" Let's go get ready! ”

When the others left the office, Huo Bufan left Ning Xueqing and Jian Sisi behind and asked, "How much money does the company have in the account now?" ”

Ning Xueqing recalled for a moment, and then replied: "There are about two or three hundred million, and you also know that although our profits are large, we also invest a lot in research and development, plus personnel salaries ......."

"Put all the money out." Huo Bufan interrupted Ning Xueqing's explanation: "In addition, apply for a loan of at least one billion yuan from the bank. ”

"Huh? What do you want so much money for? Ning Xueqing asked puzzled.

"Go and buy the raw materials for the products, from weight loss products, to drinks, all the raw materials are bought." Huo Bufan said.

Ning Xueqing and Jian Sisi didn't understand what he was doing with so many raw materials, even if the business was good now, spending more than a billion yuan to buy raw materials and manufacturing products could at least sell at more than double the price.

How long will it take for two or three billion products to be sold out?

Now that he has been targeted by the Huo family, not only is he not conservative and precautionary, but he also wants to drain all the cash flow and loans to do this, isn't this a dead end.

"Don't worry, since I let you do it, I'm sure. Mr. Ning will talk about it at the bank, and if it can't be discussed, I'll go again. The minimum loan is one billion, the more the better, but it really doesn't work, and you can also mortgage the factory and the like. When Huo Bufan spoke, his face was full of confidence, and he said: "You can rest assured, a crisis is an opportunity, as long as we get through this crisis, it is possible to increase the value of the company tenfold." ”

Hearing this, Ning Xueqing and Jian Sisi's eyes lit up.

They didn't understand what Huo Bufan was going to do, but since Huo Bufan was so sure of what he said, they just did it themselves. Anyway, so far, I haven't seen Huo Bufan make a mistake, and everyone has a kind of blind trust in him.

As the closest people to Huo Bufan, Ning Xueqing and Jian Sisi are even more so.

Then, Huo Bufan did not stay in the company. Worry-free Chinese network

He went to Miao Yike, and through that network, he gathered most of the raw material suppliers related to the weight loss industry in China to buy their things.

The raw materials for weight loss products are nothing more than conjugated linoleic acid, green coffee extract, martial boot leaf extract and the like. The extraction technology of these things is not high, but the product direction is single, and it is rarely used in other industries.

Therefore, in the market, there has always been a state of oversupply.

Now Huo Bufan is more than a billion raw materials in one mouth, which makes these material merchants very happy.

However, Huo Bufan put forward a request, that is, because he bought too many raw materials, he did not have enough warehouses to store them. Therefore, after the payment is made, these raw materials should be kept by those material dealers for a period of time.

In addition, if someone is willing to buy these raw materials, they also have to help sell and ship them.

This small requirement, the material supplier will naturally not refuse, the raw materials in the warehouse is not profitable, only by selling, can make money.

As for the costs that Huo Bufan said, they are all hands-on.

After this matter was done, Huo Bufan returned to the company non-stop and asked about the loan and activities.

Ning Xueqing went to the bank in person, and with the fame of New Hope, it was not difficult to borrow hundreds of millions. As for the billion, then there must be collateral.

Ning Xueqing gritted her teeth and used the equity of Jiazi Branch as collateral, which in the eyes of many people, was a crazy move.

Now the valuation of New Hope can reach 5 billion, most of which are provided by Jiazi Branch, Yichou's catering group, Bingxu's fitness and VR socialization, are still in their infancy. Except for the beverage of the restaurant group, which contributes a part of the profit, nothing else.

Therefore, mortgaging the Jiazi branch is equivalent to New Hope becoming an empty shell.

The bank is naturally very happy, a company with a valuation of billions of dollars, only loans one billion after mortgage, for them to make a sure profit.

Even if the bank doesn't make weight loss products, it can sell the company in the future.

The loan came down on the same day, and the bank also looked at the face of Huo Bufan as the heir of Professor Zhao Yongan, otherwise such a large sum of money would normally take at least a week to be approved.

For national activities, the planning department has also come up with three sets of plans in a very short period of time.

In the end, after Huo Bufan's review, one of them was determined.

The whole company from top to bottom, whether it is the lowest level of employees, or middle management, or executives, are busy with their feet.

Everyone knows that this is a battle of life and death, and it depends on this one if you eat fragrant and spicy food in the future, or go to drink the northwest wind.

In the face of an opponent like the Huo family, an ordinary small company will be nervous and overwhelmed. But New Hope Company is unanimous and excited.

That's the Huo family, it's really powerful, but if you can defeat such a powerful enemy, doesn't it mean that you're stronger?

So, they are holding their back and want to win this battle.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and after Huo Bufan arrived at the company the next day, Jian Sisi immediately greeted him and said anxiously: "Boss, there is a lot of bad news outside today." ”

"Don't worry, take your time." Huo Bufan said.

Jian Sisi took a deep breath before giving a general introduction.

"It's mainly those Taobao merchants who suddenly compete with us under the banner of orthodoxy. Then a lot of inexplicable small shops popped up, all saying that they were taken from us, and some simply said that they were the same as us, and the specifications, materials, and effects of the fitness equipment were exactly the same. Many customers went to their shop to buy things, and the sales department told me that in just one morning, the traffic of our Taobao store dropped by one-tenth. ”
