"Thank you for that wonderful address, Mr. Xu," the host concluded with a smile. The crowd gave another round of applause.
After a few seconds, Darren gently waved his hand to the crowd as a signal for them to stop. Then, he announced in a low, deep voice, "Well, that concludes today's meeting. I would like to ask the manager of the sales department to stay for a bit. However, the rest of you are free to go. Have a great weekend, everybody! I hope to see you all refreshed on Monday!"
Slowly, the people inside the meeting room started to leave one by one. After a few minutes, only Darren, Harlan, and the manager of the sales department were left alone inside the spacious meeting room.
Staring at the manager in front of him, Darren said softly, "According to today's report, our sales are doing exceptionally well. We have surpassed several old companies. Our dealers are continuously growing." He gave the manager an expectant look. "Have you prepared a new sales strategy already?"
"Yes, sir, it is ready." The manager nodded obediently and took out a notebook. He opened it, pointed at a road map diagram, and started to give his analysis. "According to our current sales trend, no company can defeat us for a while. However, our success won't last very long. According to the trend of the Sunshine Group's stock, it's only a matter of time until their market value increases enough to rival ours. Their value is currently stable and most of their business focuses on the industrial field."
"Okay, and..." Darren nodded at the manager, urging him to continue.
"The old food companies must surely feel threatened by us right now. They will definitely make some changes to their products to keep up with ours. If we sit still and do nothing, we will be easily beaten by them."
As he listened to the manager's thorough analysis, Darren nodded slightly and gently tapped his fingers on the table.
There were no inconsistencies in the manager's analysis. He was right. Currently, the KING Group did have the upper hand compared to their competitors, but they could be easily taken down if they weren't careful. If the KING Group could replace the products of other companies in the hearts of the consumers, other companies would be able to do it as well.
Moreover, if their products lacked innovation, then their cus
s a well-known company.
Of course, the CEO was aware that many people would want to cooperate with Jacob's company. He felt quite lucky that the HT Group had reached out to his company out of all the raw material suppliers out there. Without hesitation, he drove to HT Group as soon as he could. . . . . . .
"Mr. Gu, the supplier is here," Sam announced as he led the supplier's CEO into the reception room.
"Come in," Jacob said with a nod.
Sam walked out to get them some tea. Then, he returned with some fragrant chrysanthemum tea.
There weren't a lot of people in the reception room. It was only the CEO of the raw material company and his assistant. When the two of them saw Jacob, they couldn't help but feel excited about a potential partnership with him.
"I apologize for inviting you here on such short notice. Please, take a seat." Jacob sat comfortably on the seat of the host. His tone sounded polite but his actions said otherwise. It was as if he was demanding a cooperation with them, not requesting it.
The CEO could sense Jacob's attitude, of course.
He knew about the rivalry between the KING Group and the HT Group, and guessed that that was the reason why Jacob wanted to cooperate with him.
"No problem. I just want to know why you invited me to come here," the CEO asked softly as if he didn't know anything.
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. The HT Group is planning to enter the food industry. We need a reliable raw material supplier and I was wondering if you would be willing to be that supplier."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Thank you for that wonderful address, Mr. Xu," the host concluded with a smile. The crowd gave another round of applause.
