The years of red flags

Chapter 1549: Looking for a Horse

"I've never consumed instant noodles, so I don't know much about the instant noodles market." Jiang Hua shook his head: "What's wrong? I've heard of the White Elephant brand. I heard that its products are pretty good. Are you having any trouble now?"

  This is absolutely the truth. He had eaten enough instant noodles in his previous life. In this life, he only ate a little instant noodles when he was in Hong Kong. After returning to the mainland, he never ate instant noodles again.

"They are in big trouble." Boss Cui stroked his short hair. "Now the mainstream instant noodles in China are basically funded by small Dongyang. Only White Elephant resolutely refuses to be acquired by small Dongyang. Now other brands in the country are besieging White Elephant. White Elephant does not have enough capital and cannot support itself."

"At the beginning of the new century, foreign capital came here once by means of deception." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "But I have exposed their tricks, and now they have started to change their tactics."

"Yes, as far as I know, these people are very bad." Boss Cui said indignantly: "They signed a contract with the supermarket and only allowed Xiao Dongyang instant noodles to be sold, not White Elephant instant noodles. Otherwise, they would withdraw all their products. They have many varieties of products, and the supermarkets can't afford to offend them, so they can only refuse White Elephant."

"This should be unfair competition, right? Is there no one to take care of it?"

"It seems that it is not involved. Besides, if the people don't report it, the government will not investigate it, right?" Boss Cui shook his head: "These brands simply bribe the stockists to not put the White Elephant instant noodles in a prominent position, or simply not put them on the shelves. Ordinary people don't care so much, so they forget about this brand over time."

"It's a pretty clever move." Jiang Hua smiled disdainfully: "It costs little and can squeeze out the competition. It looks like they've put a lot of effort into marketing."

"I run a mining equipment business. I can't help him. The only support I can give him is to buy more of their instant noodles." Boss Cui said with emotion: "There is no place for them in such a huge market now. Boss Jiang, if you have any way, please help them."

Boss Cui went on to say: "Boss Baixiang is a good person. He has been employing many disabled workers and does not discriminate against them. He calls them "self-reliant employees". He is a real man."

"Don't even bother talking to this point. If I don't help him, won't you look down on me?" Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Although Huaxing Group is not involved in food production, I have a food company that is quite successful, Firefly Group."

"We make canned food and beverages." Boss Cui said with a smile, "Is this company yours too? Our sales in southern Henan are pretty good. We can give them as gifts during festivals and holidays."

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow countrymen in southern Henan."

Boss Cui didn't stay long. After paying the money, he hurried back to southern Henan. In his words, he was really worried about the factory's production. It wasn't that he was worried about the workers, but he felt uneasy because he couldn't see the workshop for a whole day.

Jiang Hua called Firefly's general manager who was far away in eastern Guangdong and invited him to Beijing. He could be seen at every Huaxing annual meeting and was also present at every annual commendation ceremony, but after all, he was not a direct member of Huaxing. This time, the boss Meng personally invited him, and Mr. Han was so excited. He felt that he had really caught the boss's eye.

"Boss Jiang, if you have anything to ask, just tell me and I promise to get it done."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Over the years, I haven't paid much attention to Firefly, but that doesn't mean I don't care. Strictly speaking, Firefly is my first company and it's also a gift I gave to my wife. I still value it very much."

"It's enough to have the boss say this." President Han said with some excitement. Of course, whether he was really excited or not is unknown. After all, the emperor is far away. As long as he doesn't go too far in Firefly and doesn't infringe on the interests of the company, and the inspection department of Huaxing Group doesn't catch him, then his Yuedong can do whatever he wants.

"Someone mentioned a company to me a few days ago, White Elephant instant noodles in southern Henan." Jiang Hua asked seriously, "Do you know this company?"

"Yes, of course I know. After all, we are in the food industry." President Han nodded. "The situation of this company is not very good. Xiao Dongyang's capital and brand are squeezing their living space."

Jiang Hua leaned back in his chair and said, "As for Xiao Dongyang, we all know what that is. What they want to attack is what we want to support."

"I understand." President Han nodded. "When I return, I will organize an inspection team to see Bai Xiang's current situation and see if we can bring him under our company."

"That's what I mean. It's best to bring him under our control. With the support of our capital, his survival will be better." Jiang Hua nodded: "If they really don't want to sell, you can reach a strategic cooperation with them. In short, you must not let the little Japanese succeed."

"Don't worry. As long as they are willing to accept the acquisition, our company's sales channels are very complete." President Han said with a smile, "Not only can I make it available in all major supermarkets across the country within a week, but even in small shops and convenience stores on the streets. In a month, I can make it available in supermarkets in various Asian countries. The audience in Europe and the United States is smaller, but it will not prevent us from expanding the market."

"We haven't dealt with each other much, but from what you just said, I can feel that you are a capable person." Jiang Hua patted his shoulder and said, "The company treats you well, and I don't want to divide the equity. I can only say that as long as you don't make any mistakes, you can work in this position until retirement."

"Thank you, boss." President Han nodded excitedly: "I will do my best to manage the company well."

"If you have any difficulties with the White Elephant, just tell me. I will definitely help you solve them if I can."

President Han thought for a while and said, "White Elephant instant noodles have been extinct in supermarkets for a long time and have no reputation. If we really want to acquire it, we must promote this brand as soon as possible. I may need to invite a large number of celebrities to endorse it. Don't blame me for spending too much on publicity when the time comes."

"Looking for a job while you're still a donkey." Jiang Hua pointed at President Han and scolded him with a smile, "Didn't I just tell you that Firefly Company is a gift from me to my wife, which means your real boss is my wife."

"I know, I've always known."

"Don't you know that your boss is now the big sister of the domestic entertainment industry?" Jiang Hua said with a smile: "As long as your boss opens his mouth, there are a lot of stars willing to endorse for free."
