Qin Feng was actually trying to be helpful, though he hadn't considered whether Yu Zhou was willing.
In his eyes, it would only take a few words for his older sister to intervene.
Even if Qin Siyue didn't have a home advantage in Zhongnan Province, she still had influence in all the provinces of the Yangtze River Delta.
What's more, Jiangbei was their hometown, and after learning of Qin Siyue's identity, few people in Jiangbei would dare to refuse her.
However, this time Yu Zhou shook his head without hesitation.
He chuckled, looked at Qing Feng, and said, "It's not that I don't want to ask your sister, but this matter isn't one that can be resolved by wielding power."
"Normal commercial competition is natural. If I can't even handle this, then I'm not qualified to continue being the factory director."
"Besides, as long as they don't resort to underhanded tactics, I'm not afraid of normal commercial competition."
"Their methods are nothing more than a few common ones."
This was not Yu Zhou being overconfident. After all, Yu Zhou, who had been reborn from a later era, was absolutely incomparable to the ordinary bosses of this era in terms of business acumen.
It wasn't that Yu Zhou feared all business wars, but rather that he didn't take the factory owners in the food industry seriously.
If the people behind them were to intervene, then perhaps he wouldn't be their match, but he truly didn't care much about this group of people.
"Normal commercial competition? You call this normal?"
Qin Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. He felt it had already gone too far.
Does normal commercial competition involve coming to your door and trying to intimidate you? With a stance that says if you don't cooperate with me or give me a share, I'll crush you, is this still normal commercial competition?
"Old Qin, there are rules in the business world. As long as they aren't here to acquire my shares for a dollar, it falls within the scope of normal commercial competition."
"We each rely on our own abilities."
"If one day we become big and become the leader in the food industry, and a factory or product with infinite potential suddenly appears, I will also use my influence to try and get a piece of the pie."
"It's just that I wouldn't be as ruthless as they are, thinking immediately of kicking us out."
Yu Zhou had spent decades immersed in the business world in his previous life and had seen all sorts of tactics.
There were some endless tactics where you clearly knew what they were trying to do, but you were powerless to stop it, and could only watch helplessly as your own industry was gradually eroded.
But this was the business world, a bloody battlefield without visible storms.
If you want to grow or survive in this business world, you must abide by its rules.
The more people who break the rules, the less likely they are to make their business big. Yu Zhou had understood this principle long ago.
However, he hadn't understood it early enough in his previous life, so he had suffered significant losses because of this at the beginning.
"You people are really complicated!"
Qin Feng didn't fully grasp Yu Zhou's words, but he said speechlessly at this moment.
While he wasn't an idiot, each profession had its own rules.
Often, when you don't understand something, it's best not to interfere with others' decisions.
In his eyes, when it came to doing business, even ten of him couldn't compare to Yu Zhou. Since that was the case, it was best to leave professional matters to professionals. He didn't believe he could outwit Yu Zhou in a battle of wits.
"What did you say? Those people dared to come to our house?"
"No, if I don't find them and teach them a lesson today, my name isn't Wu."
"Brother, don't stop me! Don't stop me..."
In the office of the dried fruit factory director, Wu Dabiao, his face full of grief and indignation, was about to leave.
If Yu Zhou hadn't held him back, and considering his strength, he feared he might hurt his older brother. He suspected even Yu Zhou wouldn't be able to hold him back now.
His elder brother being cornered and bullied by a group of people was something Wu Dabiao absolutely could not tolerate. If he himself had been present, he would have likely gotten into a physical altercation with those people on the spot.
"Can't you stop thinking about resorting to violence for everything? Do you really think any problem can be solved just by using your fists?"
Yu Zhou was speechless. He really hadn't expected his somewhat simple-minded friend to have changed so little.
If he didn't stop him, he wouldn't know what kind of trouble he might cause.
Even if he didn't find those bosses, with Wu Dabiao's connections in the factory area, if he found them and resorted to violence, this matter would immediately escalate beyond simple commercial competition.
This was something Yu Zhou absolutely would not allow to happen.
"So should we just stand by and endure it? Brother, this isn't like you."
It was no wonder Wu Dabiao was angry at this moment. In the past, when something like this happened, wasn't he always the first to rush forward and swing his fists?
Why had everything changed since coming to the dried fruit factory?
He was now in charge of security at the dried fruit factory. Although Yu Zhou couldn't give him shares, his monthly salary was definitely not low.
He had previously agreed with Qin Siyue that they would not give Qin Feng and Wu Dabiao shares in the short term.
After the most difficult period passed, they would distribute 10% of the shares proportionally to incentivize company employees and 5% to Qin Feng and Wu Dabiao.
These shares were not to be bought with money. Although they came without voting rights, they were an excellent incentive.
Wu Dabiao and Qin Feng both knew this now, and they had always harbored gratitude.
Yu Zhou was being bullied, and this time, Wu Dabiao could not stand by.
"Have they started making their move?"
After finally appeasing Wu Dabiao, Yu Zhou turned his head and asked Liang Xiaohai, the deputy factory director, who was beside him.
It had been three days since that incident. According to Yu Zhou's speculation, the other party should have made their preparations and started their actions by now.
However, Liang Xiaohai seemed to have received no news, which made Yu Zhou somewhat surprised.
"They started yesterday. Many large-volume intermediaries who had previously discussed business with us have suddenly gone silent. Even intermediaries who had personally called to confirm orders have now called to cancel them."
"These are probably their tactics, right?"
Liang Xiaohai's expression was as usual, showing no sign of the factory facing a crisis.
It was as if he were discussing a trivial matter, which indeed made Yu Zhou raise an eyebrow.
