Chapter 106 Foreign companies are eyeing Tianlong Food (13)

After Su Mingyu's explanation, Su Mingzhe finally understood.

It turned out that the show they were watching was the second season.

"You guys continue watching. I'm going upstairs to rest."

As I said before, Su Mingzhe actually has no discrimination against the TV series "Princess".

The point is because of some people.

In his previous life, He Yuzhu became a capital tycoon at an early age, and later participated in the development of the mainland, accumulating more and more capital.

The corresponding thing happened.

He Yuzhu is not a good man. When he attends some parties and banquets, some female stars throw themselves at him. If he is moved, he will go with the flow and deepen the emotional exchanges with them.

He Yuzhu had a deep friendship with several of the female stars in the TV series "Princess".

Su Mingzhe has He Yuzhu's memories, so when the drama "Princess" became popular all over the country, all he could think about were the bad things about the female stars in the drama.

However, Su Mingzhe has no interest in renewing his 'previous relationship' with these female stars, and staging a 'second life romance', 'third life love', 'fourth life love', or even being a couple destined to be together for the fifth, sixth, or seventh lives.

Of course, if the system releases a main task: collect all seven lives of a female star, you can summon a dragon.

Su Mingzhe didn't mind spending some time collecting them.

However, the system did not release this kind of main task.

This broken system of mine is almost useless except for allowing me to travel through time and space, sign in to gain experience points, and strengthen my body.

Therefore, Su Mingzhe had no interest in these female stars.

After taking a shower and lying in the air-conditioned room, Su Mingzhe slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up again, there was a fire cloud outside the window.

Looking at the time, it should be around seven o'clock.

The sky in Gusu City is much cleaner than that in Yanjing.

There have been more and more sandstorms in Yanjing recently, and they often occur in summer.

Su Mingzhe asked Liang Hongyu to donate money to some tree planting organizations several times, hoping to curb desertification as soon as possible.

"You didn't even call me for dinner."

When Su Mingzhe went downstairs, he saw three girls enjoying a big meal, but no one called him just now, which made him feel a little resentful.

It’s okay for my girlfriend, after all, she is a carefree person and it’s normal for her to forget to call me.

But my younger sister also forgot to call me to eat, and I felt like I had loved her in vain all these years.

When Li Ansheng heard her boyfriend complain, she apologized very consciously: "I'm sorry, honey, I was afraid that you would be tired from taking the train, so I didn't call you."

There was a typhoon passing through recently and the weather is not very good.

Su Mingzhe returned to Gusu City by train instead of plane.

After listening to his girlfriend's explanation, Su Mingzhe didn't say anything else. He just sat down next to his girlfriend, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and started eating.

The three girls had a good meal.

There are fish, duck, shrimp, crab, and fruit salad.

Su Mingzhe glanced at Lin Qiyue secretly.

I secretly guessed: I don't know if this girl still needs to lose weight after eating so many greasy foods and fruit salad.

My younger sister Su Mingyu, like my girlfriend Li Ansheng, both look like they have round faces, but in fact they don't have much flesh on their bodies.

Lin Qiyue has a very delicate face and she has charming and cute dimples when she smiles, but her weight has long been over 100 pounds.

Lin Qiyue also felt that the man's gaze towards her seemed a little unnatural, and her face turned red. She quietly put down the chopsticks that were about to pick up food.

After the four of them finished their meal, the nanny cleaned up the dishes.

Then Su Mingyu suggested playing mahjong.

This girl has seen her mother Zhao Meilan playing mahjong with others every day, and has long wanted to play mahjong herself.

But Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang were unwilling to let their daughters touch such things.

Su Mingyu didn't have the chance to take action.

There are exactly four of us today, so we can play mahjong together.

Su Mingzhe didn't care. He had nothing to do after eating, so he just found something to pass the time.

Li Ansheng and Lin Qiyue did not object.

The four of them played until late at night, and they played six rounds before taking a break.

Su Mingyu had her fill of it.

The next day, the three girls stayed at home and insisted on watching "Princess" on TV.

Su Mingzhe had no choice but to go out and stay in the company.

Gusu is the headquarters of Tianlong Food.

Tianlong Food set up a food research and development department two years ago and has developed more than 20 kinds of snacks, including potato chips, French fries, rice crusts, hawthorn chips, etc.

Since Tianlong Food has already laid out its sales network in advance, it has control over its own distribution channels, so every type of food that comes out can quickly flow into the market.

Currently, Tianlong Food’s annual sales are around 20 to 30 billion, and its profits and tax payments are both over 100 million yuan.

This figure has been growing steadily every year.

The leadership team of Suzhou City treats Tianlong Food, a major taxpayer, with great caution.

After all, before the new century, there were not many companies in the entire Gusu city that paid 100 million yuan in taxes.

dong dong dong-

"Enter."

Su Mingzhe was sleeping in the boss's chair. When he heard a knock on the door, he rubbed his face and asked the person to come in.

Lu Youguang pushed open the door and saw his boss looking sleepy. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, do you often play too late tonight? Young people, you should know how to control yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer when you are old." "Old Lu, don't embarrass me. I am staying up late to play mahjong with my family, so I don't get enough sleep."

Su Mingzhe explained, took the folder handed over by Lu Youguang, and asked curiously: "What's this? Why did you come to me?"

As the general manager of Tianlong Food, Lu Youguang is considered a big shot in the business circle of Gusu City, and he rarely comes to him for instructions or reports.

"You take a look first."

Lu Youguang sat down with a relaxed expression on his face, and it seemed that the matter was not very important.

Su Mingzhe opened the folder and took a look. After a while, his expression became serious.

He asked solemnly, "When did this happen?"

Seeing his boss' serious expression, Lu Youguang also restrained his relaxed expression and said in a slightly serious tone: "It started to appear at the beginning of the year, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. It was not until the July report was submitted that I found that the data was growing slowly. Only then did I confirm that these foreign capitals have been deliberately encircling us."

"Encircle and attack us? That's out of the question!"

Su Mingzhe's eyes were very sharp. He read ten lines at a glance. After scanning the document, he said with a tone that was three parts serious and seven parts teasing:

"These foreign companies always like to use this kind of price war to defeat our domestic companies, and then monopolize the business and increase profits. However, using this method against our Tianlong Enterprise is probably useless."

Lu Youguang first nodded in agreement with Su Mingzhe, and then said:

"Boss, if we continue with the current price war, we are not afraid, but we are afraid that the other party will fight a protracted war. Over time, as production costs increase and employee wages and benefits increase, our company's profit margin will continue to decline, and we may not be able to afford it in the end."

"More importantly, the bulk of our company's profits currently come from export trade. If these foreign companies use tricks to cut off our export trade, that would be troublesome."

Su Mingzhe didn't care about this and said, "Don't worry about this. Every product we produce and develop has already been registered with trademarks and patents in various countries around the world. Although these foreign-funded enterprises like to use crooked methods, they are still relatively compliant with European and American trade laws. If they want to use tricks abroad, they will definitely suffer."

"The only problem now is actually the WTO application that the country is currently applying for."

WTO is the World Trade Organization, and China will be approved to join it after two years.

Before this, flower-growing enterprises were not subject to WTO constraints and could grow wildly.

However, there are pros and cons to every situation.

Flower-growing companies will not be protected by WTO member countries.

Many foreign-funded enterprises abroad take advantage of information asymmetry and use capital means that they have long been very skilled in to suppress and acquire flower-growing companies at will.

Some officials were delighted to think that these foreign companies could bring advanced technology and management experience and help domestic companies develop rapidly.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten."

How many times have I said this?

These officials actually naively believed that these foreign gentlemen would come to help the flower growers progress and grow.

What a stinking pile of shit.

Think about the fate of Jianlibao.

Think about Fanta from the Land of Abundance.

Su Mingzhe knew that the next battle would definitely be an invisible bloody storm.

In front of Lu Youguang, Su Mingzhe thought it over again and again and called the top leader of Gusu City.

I still need to discuss this matter with my superiors to clear the air.

The atmosphere in Gusu City is not very good. In order to attract investment and develop the economy, foreign companies are treated too leniently.

Su Mingzhe was afraid that the leaders of Gusu City would act rashly and sell Tianlong Food.

After listening to Su Mingzhe's words, especially what Su Mingzhe said about the current fate of some national enterprises, the top leader solemnly promised Su Mingzhe that the government would never help foreign companies suppress local enterprises in order to attract investment.

However, Su Mingzhe also has to ensure that he behaves properly and does not give his opponents any leverage.

I heard something like a reminder from the top leader.

Su Mingzhe immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, the smartest people in the country are in the government.

The top leader pointed out the possible flaws of Tianlong Food.

Su Mingzhe immediately asked Lu Youguang to convene a meeting of the company's senior executives to start self-reflection and self-examination, to find out what was missing and to fill in the gaps, and even to set up an inspection team to conduct a red line storm on the entire company.

Tianlong Food’s sudden self-inspection caught many people off guard.

Some shady people who had been trying to get their hands on Tianlong Food were caught in the act.

Su Mingzhe did not hesitate and used his influence to expose the shady dealings, demonstrating to the whole country what it meant to be resolute and decisive.

Some methods used by foreign-funded enterprises were also directly exposed.

Many people in the country who are disloyal have been arrested.

Su Mingzhe's proactive attack this time allowed these people to see the iron-fisted methods of the country's richest man.

Naturally, some people also want to find some evidence against Su Mingzhe.

However, these people used many connections and conducted various investigations and found that Su Mingzhe himself was relatively upright and did not have any messy or bad habits.

Most of Su Mingzhe's relatives and friends are ordinary people.

The only relative who can be considered a weak one is his uncle Zhao Guoqing, who has fallen out with Su Mingzhe.

However, after Zhao Guoqing entered PCS last year, Su Mingzhe sent people to teach him a lesson several times.

At this time, Zhao Guoqing no longer expected to get any benefits from Su Mingzhe. He stayed at home obediently all day and did not dare to cause any trouble.

Things like the fact that Su Mingzhe has two girlfriends, Li Ansheng and Xia Lin, were also known by some people.

But Su Mingzhe was only nineteen years old and had not married any of them.

Exposing this matter would at most be considered a scandal, which would be completely useless.

Therefore, some people kept this matter in mind, preparing to use it when the opportunity arises in the future.

Since covert means cannot be used, those hostile foreign companies can only use stupid methods and continue the price war.
