1987: Sleepless Tonight

Xu Jihai's hands were burnt red, but he couldn't care less about it.

The anger still hasn't subsided in the slightest.

"Newspaper? What's wrong with this newspaper?" Hong Erquan picked up the newspaper and read it for a long time, but couldn't find the point.

"That title, the article about the sudden death of the old lady on New Year's Eve, you should read the text carefully." Xu Jihai reminded.

Only then did Hong Erquan look at this article.

Watching, watching, his face also became very serious.

"Who wrote this? Isn't this just saying that Hongyuan Oral Liquid caused the death of this old lady? And it's still in Chinese New Year's Eve, so wicked." Hong Erquan scolded.

Wang Lixing and Zhang Mingyi also came over to read this article.

Both were also very angry.

"We advertised in newspapers and gave them money, why are they still writing articles like this?"

"Hu Feng, who is this Hu Feng?"

In newspapers, some articles were titled "News from our newspaper" and some were titled "Today's News", but under the title of this article, Hu Feng's name was written.

This is Hu Feng's own meaning. Opportunities and risks come together. If she writes her own name, she will face great follow-up pressure, but she still writes it because the opportunities will also be great.

"I don't know this person, did any of you have any problems with this article, and deliberately wrote this article to wrong Hongyuan Oral Liquid?" Xu Jihai looked at the three of them.

All three shook their heads.

"Director Xu, now the major newspapers in Jiangcheng are talking about us, promoting Hongyuan Oral Liquid, and many newspapers and periodicals in other places have also mentioned us, all of which are praises. Is this article that suddenly appeared? Want to increase the sales of newspapers?" Hong Erquan asked.

"It's not that simple." Xu Jihai shook his head, "This is a newspaper, not a leaflet, and it's not just random paint on the wall or the writing and drawing on the door. It has to be reviewed and approved. If this article can be published in a newspaper, it will It means that with the permission of the newspaper, some people acquiesced in this kind of thing.”

"This kind of thing happened at the juncture of the development of Hongyuan Oral Liquid, and it was mostly aimed at us."

"What did the newspaper do against us? Before we advertised in the newspaper, we spent so much money, let them earn advertising fees, and there was no conflict." Hong Erquan was very surprised.

Hongyuan Oral Liquid was advertised in almost all major newspapers in Jiangcheng.

Wang Lixing also nodded, "Yeah, Director Xu, this doesn't make sense, and they're not in the same industry. If they both sell drinks, it's okay to slander us like that, but one sells newspapers and the other sells drinks. Why? This person is targeting us so much, and the newspaper still publishes it?"

No matter how many people thought, they didn't figure it out.

"Could it be Lu Hao?" Suddenly, Hong Erquan asked, "This article is not good for me, not good for Hongyuan Oral Liquid. I have a deep conflict with Lu Hao. There is no one else except him."

"That's not right, this article was written by this man named Hu Feng, not Lu Hao." Wang Lixing said.

Xu Jihai corrected, "It's true that Hu Feng is marked in this article, but it's just a mark. The person who wrote it may not be her, and we don't know her well, and we didn't have any festivals in the past. It’s not about Hongyuan Oral Liquid, but it’s always implied that Hongyuan Oral Liquid caused the old lady’s death on New Year’s Eve.”

"The article is very sinister, and only Lu Hao has a direct conflict of interest with us. It is really possible that this article was written by Lu Hao."

Several people discussed for a while, and after analysis, they guessed that the person behind the scenes was Lu Hao.

"Then should we call the police? He is clearly pouring sewage on us and spreading rumors. He wants others to see and believe him. What should we do?" Zhang Mingyi said.

"It's useless. Although his article was vicious, it was written very cleverly. He didn't directly say that there is something wrong with Hongyuan Oral Liquid. It's useless to call the police." Xu Jihai shook his head.

He gritted his teeth, "At first, I thought that Lu Hao's method was to give employees small favors and then affect production, but I didn't expect to use this kind of pretentious thing to slander Hongyuan Oral Liquid. He is really ruthless."

"He's just a capitalist." Hong Erquan said, "I only want to make money in my heart. Don't look at the surface and treat the employees very well, but they all have a purpose. Unlike us, we are employees of state-owned units, and we consider state-owned assets. , thinking about how to pay more taxes and make more contributions.”

This is a great opportunity!

Hong Erquan was very excited, his heart was full of joy, he was worried that he couldn't find an excuse, so he came here by himself.

He wanted to take this opportunity to drive Lu Hao out of Hongyuan Beverage Factory completely.

"Director Xu, continuing to cooperate with Lu Hao will only harm the interests of the factory. We should cancel the cooperation with him and take back the soda sales rights of his remaining two production lines." He said.

Lu Hao can be considered a steal!

He wanted to use this sinister method to deal with the oral liquid, but he didn't expect to hate Xu Jihai. Even when the tea fell on his hand, it was hot and red. Xu Jihai didn't go to the hospital or buy medicine, but got angry here .

As long as I say a few more words from the side, the soda sales rights of the only two production lines left in Lu Hao's hands will definitely be taken back.

Lu Hao can no longer touch the business of Hongyuan Beverage Factory!

"He signed a contract with the factory, and the contract has not yet expired. Before that, because of the workshop renovation, two production lines have been dismantled, and now he still has two production lines in his hands. If he takes them back, I am afraid Some people will gossip." Xu Jihai said.

Did not agree right away.

But Hong Erquan heard a different meaning from Xu Jihai.

Afraid that someone will gossip?

It proved that Xu Jihai actually agreed with his opinion, and wanted to take back the sales rights of these two production lines, but he still had some scruples.

"Isn't it just a contract? How big a deal can this be? There is nothing wrong with following the contract, and it should be done, but it also depends on the specific situation. In this situation, it is obvious that we should no longer stick to the rules. Lu Hao slandered Hongyuan Oral Liquid like this." , We are still sticking to the contract and don't know how to adapt it. Isn't that too rigid? Rules are dead, but people are alive. This is the experience passed down by our ancestors. We have to listen to our ancestors." Hong Erquan said.

"Although what you said has some truth, but if you really want to do this, will other units or individuals think of this matter when they cooperate with us in the future? Thinking that we have no credibility will affect the development of Hongyuan Beverage Factory." Xu Jihai frowned.

He was still a little worried, afraid that tearing up the contract casually would affect the reputation of Hongyuan Beverage Factory and his personal reputation.

"Lu Hao put the knife on our necks, should we just let him continue like this?" Hong Erquan continued to persuade, "If you really want to do that, others will only say that you are weak and incompetent. You are the director of the factory, as long as you Hongyuan Beverage Factory develops well, pays more taxes, and everything else is trivial."
