Extraordinary Genius

Zhong Qingxian had been looking for contractors. The commercial was filmed, and it was in the post editing phase. The formula was also developed, and he had let many people taste it. The results were positive.

Feng Yu also said that this milk tea tastes good. It will surely sell well.

Through connections, Zhong Qingxian got the approvals from the government and was permitted to produce and sell this new product. But the issue of contractors was still not finalized.

Zhong Qingxian had already contacted a few factories. These factories had the capabilities to deliver what he wanted, and he will be deciding which factory to work with these few days. After that, the production will start.

Feng Yu had agreed to let Tai Hua Supermarket sell Lehaha’s milk tea first. Next year, after CCTV start to advertise this milk tea, this milk tea will be introduced to the rest of the nation.

At this moment, a Guangdong factory, which manufactures children food products, came knocking on the door. This factory wanted to be Lehaha’s contractor for tapioca balls and coconut jelly.

“Mr. Zhong, our company might not be big, but we can surely meet Lehaha’s order. the profits we want is also not high.” Li Dajun said anxiously.

“Manager Li, despite what you said, but business is business. We will be investing a large amount for the initial phase, and we cannot afford any failures. Your company is set up not long ago, and your factory is not big. You also do not have a lot of workers. How can we trust you?” Zhong Qingxian replied.

If anybody could walk in and claim that they could deliver whatever we want, and I give them the contract, then Lehaha would have been bankrupt a long time ago. I also need to be responsible for Lehaha’s shareholders and workers.

“We have already taken a bank loan, and we are expanding our factory now. We have also bought the machinery, and our new workers are under training. We will definitely deliver your order. You can set the compensation amount higher. If we can’t deliver, we are willing to compensate for a higher amount for breaking the contract.” Li Dajun begged.

“Higher compensation? I don’t think this is a good idea. Even if the compensation amount is higher, you all still have to be able to afford to compensate us. Your company is only worth 1 to 2 million RMB. If something goes wrong, the bank will freeze your accounts first because of your loans. That means we will not get a single cent of compensation. If you delay the production of our products, our losses might be up to tens of millions. Can you compensate us?” Zhong Qingxian was pissed.

“Mr. Zhong, we might be selling jelly, but our jelly is selling very well. There will be no problems. I guarantee that there will be no issue with our quality.”

“Enough. It’s the only jelly. There are hundreds of factories producing jelly in China. Most of them are bigger than your company. Why should we give you this contract? Furthermore, if you accept our order, do you still have people to produce jelly? Do you still have production lines? Are you going to be our contractor full time? I am very busy. Xiao Wang, send him out!”

Zhong Qingxian stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Feng Yu was at Lehaha, and he did not have time to waste with a small factory.

“Mr. Zhong, our Strong Group is very sincere to work with you all. Please believe us!” Li Dajun shouted.

Feng Yu was in the meeting room next door, and he heard the commotion outside. He walked out: “Qingxian, what’s wrong?”

“A small company heard that we were looking for contractors and came to look for us.” Zhong Qingxian explained.

“Oh. Is the company too small?”

“It’s not only small. Although they are also producing food products, they are manufacturing children jelly products. They do not meet our requirements.”

Li Dajun saw this person could casually speak to Mr. Zhong, he immediately shouted at Feng Yu. “Sir, our Strong Group really have the potential. Please consider us.”

“Xiao Wang, call the security to drag him out!” Zhong Qingxian was furious. What type of person was this?

“Wait!” Feng Yu suddenly stopped Xiao Wang. “What is your company called again?”

“Guangdong Strong Group. We manufacture jelly. We started last year, but we are growing rapidly. In less than 2 years, our value has increased by several folds.” Li Dajun said.

“That is because your foundation is small. Even if your value had increased by several folds, your company is worth 2 million RMB at most.” Zhong Qingxian added.

You want to trick Manager Feng with these words? What if Manager Feng agreed and your factory cannot keep up with the production and deliver the order?

Feng Yu heard Li Dajun, and he frowned. Damn. I asked Zhong Qingxian to name the brand of milk tea as U.Loveit and Strong Group immediately came knocking on our doors. Was this coincident? But how did this famous Strong Group become like this?

“Xiao Wang, prepare some tea. Qingxian, I would like to have a chat with him.”

Feng Yu had spoken, and Zhong Qingxian could not reject him. He also entered the meeting room with Feng Yu. He does not want this Li Dajun to trick Feng Yu and let Lehaha suffer losses.

Feng Yu seldom interfere with Lehaha’s management. He only gave some useful suggestions before. How come he was so interested in this Strong Group today?

Could it be that Manager Feng wants Lehaha to start producing jelly too? But anyone can produce jelly. Even if the jelly were selling under Lehaha’s brand, the sales would not be good. It might even be a failed product. Lehaha still does not have any failed products. Their first failed product must not be jelly.

“What is your name? I am one of Lehaha’s shareholders. I do not have more authority than Mr. Zhong, but I still have some say in this company. Tell me why you are so confident that you can be Lehaha’s contractor?”

“I have worked in a food production plant in Taiwan. That factory is producing tapioca balls. Also, our company has strict management of our factory’s food safety and hygiene. You all do not need to worry about this aspect, and we will not give Lehaha any problems. Our workers are all very hard working, and we will deliver the order.”

Feng Yu shook his head. “Our order is too big, and your company will not be able to handle it. Also, have you produced coconut jelly before and have your company made any canned products before?”

“We will be introducing a new type of jelly. There are fruits added into the jelly. We also have research on coconut before. We are confident that we will be able to deliver the order. Sir, Mr. Zhong, you cannot only get one contractor to prepare your order. If there is any problem, your product will be affected. We only want to be one of your contractors. We do not need to take on the full order.” Li Dajun said.

Feng Yu frowned. What Li Dajun said was true. If all the eggs were kept in one basket, all the eggs might be gone if there were any accidents.

“Qingxian, what is the other company you have in mind? Have you signed the contract?”

“China Coconut Palm Group will be helping to manufacture the coconut jelly for us. Dongnan Sanfa Company will be producing the tapioca balls, which is the pearls in the milk tea. We still have not signed the contract as we are still considering.”

“Why not give Strong Group some orders to help them out? I think his factory really need this order.” Feng Yu said.

Since Feng Yu had said, Zhong Qingxian nodded. “Ok. We will give them some orders, but the quantity will not be large. After all, this company will not be able to manage big orders. Also, if there are any problems, we will terminate the contract immediately.”

Feng Yu turned and looked at Li Dajun. “Your problem is solved.”

“Thank you, Mr. Zhong. Thank You, sir.”

A wide grin appeared on Feng Yu’s face. “Oh, your company is growing. Does your company need money?”
