"Where were we just now?"
Since Ding Yiping was there to support Yu Zhou, he naturally wouldn't show any goodwill to the fat boss.
He immediately turned back to find Yu Zhou. Although he was somewhat indifferent to these private businessmen, Yu Zhou was an anomaly to him.
After all, Yu Zhou had not only revealed his powerful background but, more importantly, he was the ruthless person who had taken down Liu Dalong.
Who was Liu Dalong? The brother-in-law of the deputy district mayor, who, if not entirely unbridled in Jiangbei, was pretty close.
Such a person, who could be brought down just like that, was enough to make everyone within the system deeply wary based on his reputation alone.
Not to mention, this was a win-win cooperation. Their supply and marketing cooperative wanted to try a new direct supply model, and Yu Zhou also wanted to break through the blockade in the food industry through the cooperative.
Although in this era, most businessmen had some background and some trump cards, for someone like Ding Yiping, a person who had revealed their trump card was more worth cooperating with than those who didn't even dare to show theirs.
Therefore, even if the intermediaries were unwilling in their hearts, they could only leave dejectedly at this point.
They arrived swaggering, but left full of helplessness.
"Boss Zhang, we're almost ruined by you this time!"
As soon as they stepped out of the dried fruit factory, the fat man immediately became angry and walked directly to Zhang Yuan, wanting to get something back from him.
The previous Zhang Yuan had promised them some profit.
It was a pity that the matter had now failed. Even if Zhang Yuan could suppress Yu Zhou later, it would have nothing to do with them anymore.
Not only that, but it also allowed the supply and marketing cooperative to bypass their supply, which was a huge loss!
"Haven't I also suffered a great loss? I used a lot of connections, and even united all the food factories, just to take down the dried fruit factory. Now, can we take it down?"
Zhang Yuan was also extremely frustrated. He never expected that Yu Zhou, whom he had initially considered insignificant and easy to deal with, would be so difficult.
Now it seemed that he alone could not get this profit into his own pocket.
Either he would mobilize the people behind him to deliver a fatal blow to Yu Zhou, or he could only watch as this person developed step by step.
Was he willing? Not willing. He was not only unwilling but also felt extremely stifled.
It was as if no matter what he did, Yu Zhou wouldn't be in any significant trouble. That sense of powerlessness, once it arose, would interfere with his mindset when facing opponents even if he continued in business.
"No, I cannot just watch the Jiangbei food industry gradually escape my control. I must find a way, I must find a way."
With a ferocious expression, Zhang Yuan kept thinking if he could find another way to seize Yu Zhou and his dried fruit factory.
Even if he couldn't seize it, he couldn't let him develop smoothly.
Establishing his authority was very important to him. Once this authority was gone, it would be a big problem for himself.
"If that doesn't work, let that person find a way!"
"However, if I really find that person, not only will it cost a fortune, but I might also make him doubt my ability, and then my position might not be stable either!"
With his thoughts in disarray, Zhang Yuan didn't know what to do for a moment.
Because he knew very well that he had messed up this matter no matter what, and he might even be removed by that person.
"Alas! This time, we have really suffered a great loss! Not just you, but me too."
Zhang Yuan said helplessly, and finally walked out of the dried fruit factory that he had been longing for.
Sunflower seeds, are they a good thing? In his eyes, it was a new product with significant profit potential.
"Wait! I have an idea! It might be possible to bring down this dried fruit factory..."
Suddenly, just as Zhang Yuan was about to get into his car, his eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He seemed to have found a way to deal with Yu Zhou.
"What way?"
Suddenly, many people gathered around, each with a tone of great surprise.
"Thank you Director Ding for coming today. When Vice Factory Manager Liang told me, I almost cursed him. Isn't it causing you trouble to make leaders like you go through all this?"
"Fortunately, the outcome is good. Otherwise, I would have a guilty conscience from now on!"
After Yu Zhou confirmed the ex-factory price with Ding Yiping and even gave a very reasonable discount, he began to thank Ding Yiping.
Although he was just a director of a sub-district supply and marketing cooperative, the assets and power he wielded were envied by many.
Building a good relationship with such a leader would undoubtedly be beneficial for the future development of the dried fruit factory.
After all, 'Hutou' sunflower seeds were just the first sub-food product that Yu Zhou wanted to develop. Other sub-food products would be introduced successively.
Not only that, but after the sunflower seeds were ready, he would start developing 'Ad Calcium Milk', which was the real big project that could slowly expand the factory's products.
And these all relied on the help and cooperation of the supply and marketing cooperatives, which had not completely disappeared yet.
"We also saw the potential of your sunflower seeds, which is why we wanted to cooperate with you and create a new supply model."
"However, in my opinion, that Boss Zhang will not give up so easily. You still need to be careful."
Although Ding Yiping met Yu Zhou for the first time, his impression of Yu Zhou was quite good.
As soon as he sat down, he said earnestly.
Ding Yiping had seen a lot of commercial competition. Even though they were a state-owned unit, they didn't have much personal experience, they had just seen a lot.
However, they had considerable experience, so much so that he could immediately see the unwillingness of those intermediaries and food factory owners.
He didn't know how they would make their move, but he knew that if fierce market competition really started, it might even affect the entire Jiangbei food industry.
"I know. If it were me, I wouldn't give up so easily either."
"I've already prepared for them to make more moves. Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes. For now, our scale is too small, so we can't take the initiative to attack."
When this was mentioned, Yu Zhou became annoyed, mainly because the dried fruit factory was too small, and he couldn't do more.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about these so-called competitions at all.
