Xiao Jianming was planning to accomplish something, something that, according to his wife, seemed extraordinary.
"Let’s focus on what we need to focus on right now," Gu Nuan said.
"Haven’t we already done that?" Zhong Qiaohui was confused. They had already signed contracts with a group of manor owners, and the next steps didn’t seem to involve them. Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
The marketing plan was all set, just waiting for the funds from Zhao Corporation to arrive.
Gu Nuan shook her head.
Yao Sister and Fu Yubo, who were present, saw her shake her head and immediately felt tense.
Thinking, indeed, the matter was far from simple.
Although at the time, Gu Nuan seemed to have convinced the group of manor owners present to admire her so much they were completely won over, contracts between foreigners and locals had terrifying discrepancies.
That’s why international investors, when choosing where to invest, consider not only the importance of business profit but also place great importance on local government competency, public safety, and other factors, classifying them as equally crucial.
Just as Gu Nuan had told Changda’s board before, doing business, the most feared thing is to deal with untrustworthy barbarians.
"Among them, there might be only one or two who can become true action partners with us, and to solidify this relationship, we must personally visit their manors to demonstrate our sincerity and guarantee the initial supply," she said.
With Gu Nuan’s words, everyone became tense again.
Zhong Qiaohui gasped slightly.
Bad news came in succession, just one hour after the manor owners had left.
According to Mrs. Yang, this was a case of joy turning to sorrow, letting Gu Nuan and her team have their moment of joy first.
Hearing this, Yang Zhilin admired her mother even more and was extremely impressed, "Mom, you are truly incredible, you can even predict their next move."
Mrs. Yang, feigning humility, responded to her daughter’s praise, "What they did was so obvious, it’s as if they were afraid the whole world wouldn’t know their intentions, making me feel almost embarrassed not to take action."
Yang Zhilin laughed heartily, hugging her mother’s arm, the pride in her expression was unmistakable.
The mother and daughter rode in a luxurious Bentley to the home of the host of the coffee competition they had attended the night before, the president of the local coffee association.
They, of course, brought a large amount of money and some handwritten recommendations from official figures.
Most of the manor owners who had just signed cooperation contracts with Gu Nuan, upon receiving this news, immediately had second thoughts.
The factors that prompted their change of heart were mostly brought by the Yang family mother and daughter.
One was the official news the Yang duo had brought, saying Zhao Corporation was not only entangled in legal issues in Brazil but also caught in troubles in domestic and Western markets, being denied loans by banks and under investigation.
The other factor was, the Yang family mother and daughter brought a marketing plan identical to Gu Nuan’s.
It was akin to plagiarism, shameless and unabashed plagiarism. And they even pretentiously claimed that it was a coincidence that their creative concepts had converged.
Zhong Qiaohui was so furious that her mouth went pale, and she trembled continuously.
The news that reached them might still be intentionally leaked by the Yang family mother and daughter, detailed, including the Yang family mother and daughter’s visit to the association president’s house, where they were warmly welcomed by the president and a large number of manor owners, as well as representatives of some well-known domestic and international coffee brands in the area, nearly all the heavyweights within the coffee circle.
