When Yu Bing heard Little Hai’s answer, she knew that the people in the village must have been mocked.
She asked gently with a smile, “Am I that vicious in front of you? Don’t you want us not to take up your market share? If you tell me the reason, I’ll consider your request.”
When Little Hai heard this, he wasn’t appeased. Instead, he became angry. “Liar! Are all your tricks so similar? We don’t need your pity!”
When the food factory was first established, in order to defeat the local food factory and get orders, Jin Lan’s price was lower than many factories, but the subpar taste had always been Jin Lan’s disadvantage.
However, it was precisely because of this that the other food factories didn’t take them seriously. In addition, everyone was local and more or less knew about their situation. Therefore, they weren’t that ruthless, and Jin Lan was able to barely survive.
However, a few years ago, some food factories from other places slowly began to enter E City and set up offices.
In order to expand the market and get orders in the early stages, they would give discounts. Moreover, they sold novel food products from overseas. Everyone liked novelty, so Jin Lan’s business was affected as a result.
At that time, Little Hai was only 17 years old. When he saw this situation, he and a few friends threatened them. From then on, Little Hai became a local tyrant.
After everyone found out who the mastermind was, they came to the village to negotiate with the village chief. At first, the village chief told them the truth and hoped that everyone could leave a portion of the market share for Jin Lan.
However, although they agreed on the surface, they secretly spread rumors that the disabled employees of Jin Lan Village’s food factory were unhygienic and used their feet to make food. However, those who could enter the factory were people with dexterous hands. Moreover, they had specifically gone to a large factory to learn before working in Jin Lan.
However, how could the people outside know so much? When they heard this, many employees boycotted Jin Lan’s food. It wasn’t until Xu Jin persuaded them to invite all the agencies they had worked with in the past to the factory for a visit that the orders resumed.
Jin Lan’s profits were quite low, but they had no choice. To others, it was just a little bit of profit, but this factory was those workers’ hope!
There were a few times when he was schemed against, so Little Hai hated out-of-town offices very much. He would use all kinds of methods to force any food factory office discovered to have the same customer base as them out of E City.
Although Yu Bing didn’t know the details, she could guess when she saw Little Hai’s irritable and resistant look. “Little Hai, you might have been deceived by others before, so it’s normal for you not to believe me, but I really want to help you.”
“You might have eaten our products before, so you can tell how good they taste. If I really compete with you, you might not be able to win, so I have no reason to lie to you.”
Although Feng Cai and Little Hai had quarreled just now, when he saw the situation in the factory and thought of the scene in the village, he knew that something must have happened in this village.
Feng Cai also had a good impression of those resilient and optimistic people. If possible, he hoped to help them.
Seeing Little Hai’s resistance at this moment, he also helped Yu Bing persuade him, “That’s right. Our factory is very efficient and has spread throughout the entire province. Moreover, what Miss Yu said previously makes sense. If you don’t think of a way to increase your efficiency, you’ll eventually lose your ground.”
Little Hai looked at Yu Bing and Feng Cai, then he lowered his eyes for a moment before saying, “Ten years ago, the exploration team dug out a coal mine 80 kilometers away from our village. They gave us a lot of money and went to the surrounding villages as well. Every young and strong man in our village went to earn money. Things were fine the first year, but then there was suddenly an earthquake.”
“The coal mine collapsed, and many people were buried in the well. Many people in our village died, and few survived unscathed. Most of them barely survived.”
“Many people are disabled to varying degrees because of this. Although they were given some compensation and medical expenses, it isn’t enough for them. They can’t participate in farm work anymore, so the village chief found a way to set up a food factory. This way, they have a place to work and at least support themselves.”
“The food factory is their lifeline!”
