As soon as he heard this guy say that, Yu Zhou felt an urge to hit him.
Having become the security captain of the dried fruit factory, why was this guy still thinking about fighting and killing all day long?
This broken personality, can't change it, right?
However, he was also self-aware. Unless this guy changed himself, no one could change Wu Dabiao's reckless personality, not even himself.
Not bothering with this guy anymore, Yu Zhou began to carefully study how they should plan step by step after the new product was launched.
Even the executives, and himself, didn't believe that the so-called "alliance" in the processed food industry would truly pose a threat to them, but they still needed to be cautious.
A man is innocent if he has no crime, but he is guilty if he possesses a treasure.
Many times, it's not because you provoked something that you'll be targeted, surrounded, and chased by countless opponents; it's because you hold interests they desire that they'll act this way.
Yu Zhou didn't want to let go, so he could only compete with them.
And in the following days, indeed, led by the then-leading company in the processed food industry, a lot of rumors began to circulate throughout the industry.
"Yu Zhou? I heard you're at the dried fruit factory now, and you're wholeheartedly trying to create a new product. Is this product reliable or not?"
"I heard that because of quality issues, major wholesalers are unwilling to purchase it?"
The speaker was a boss whom Yu Zhou had met at a trade fair before. Today, Yu Zhou happened to be out for a meal with his wife and daughter.
Upon recognizing him at a glance, Boss Xing came over with his wine glass, disregarding etiquette.
He first clinked glasses with Yu Zhou, exchanged pleasantries, and then immediately said.
This matter, if not a widespread topic in the Jiangbei business circle, at least many bosses had received the news.
In their eyes, there might be hidden motives behind the whole affair, but the fact that Yu Zhou was being boycotted by major wholesalers was undeniable.
Regardless of whether those who were friendly with him were genuinely concerned, their desire to gather information couldn't be hidden.
As such, upon hearing this, not only Yu Zhou frowned, but some other bosses in the Changjiang Restaurant also cast their gazes over.
Perhaps very few of them truly knew this boss of the dried fruit factory, Yu Zhou, but due to the recent commotion, many had heard of him.
A person being targeted by an entire industry, would you be qualified if you didn't have some capability?
Perhaps such things were common in later generations; wouldn't business wars always end up like this?
But in this era, when the market economy was just beginning and everyone was transitioning to private enterprise, it was completely different.
A novel event, and moreover, a war that couldn't be seen with bloodshed.
How many bosses wanted to see the outcome of this battle? Even if they all knew that in the end, neither side would be severely injured.
"Boss Xing is also dining here! The little matters at our factory have reached Boss Xing's ears? It's truly an honor for me."
Yu Zhou showed no anxiety whatsoever, as if he had already come to terms with the situation.
But it was precisely this expression that made Boss Xing's demeanor become somewhat peculiar.
Putting himself in Yu Zhou's shoes, when facing such industry-wide targeting, if he were replaced by Yu Zhou, could he still maintain such composure?
And even have the leisure to dine out with his wife and children?
Well, after careful consideration, Boss Xing knew that he probably couldn't be as calm as Yu Zhou.
Did this Boss Yu have his own plans? Or had he already thought of ways to deal with those people?
Well, at this moment, Boss Xing's curiosity was fully piqued. If that were the case, then he would truly have to look at this young man with new eyes.
"If there's a need, I can introduce you to some intermediaries. We factory owners always need channels!"
"Otherwise, even with the best product, it'll be useless."
Boss Xing said sincerely as he raised his wine glass.
In his eyes, this so-called war might not engulf the entire Jiangbei business community, but with everyone having deep roots, it was unlikely that Yu Zhou could be directly struck down with a single blow.
This targeting, at most, would result in Yu Zhou suffering heavy losses, but wouldn't cripple him.
In this situation, Boss Xing naturally had his own ideas about how to choose between offering timely help and adding to existing prosperity.
Of course, this was merely about gaining Yu Zhou's friendship; whether he could ultimately profit was not as important.
Businessmen stick together; everyone understood this clearly. Of course, if they could bring an capable boss like Yu Zhou into their business circle, it would definitely be a sure-win, no-lose deal.
Even if Yu Zhou failed, what of it? Everyone in Jiangbei knew he had partners, and those partners were incredibly substantial.
Even if he eventually lost the dried fruit factory, people would still have expectations for his ability to make a comeback.
However, at this moment, Yu Zhou's focus was not on the Boss Xing in front of him, but on Jiang Jie.
"Da Zhou!"
Jiang Jie called out to Yu Zhou softly, a flicker of worry in her eyes.
After all, even though she had heard some news, she didn't fully grasp the situation her husband was facing or his current state.
Now, hearing it from an outsider and thinking about the current situation of the dried fruit factory, she couldn't help but start to worry.
If Yu Zhou was indeed in a desperate situation as this boss said, wouldn't it be too thoughtless of her to pester him to come out for dinner and accompany the child?
"It's nothing! They're all just minor issues. I'll chat with Boss Xing! I'll explain everything to you in detail later."
Yu Zhou patted his wife's hand without hesitation. Although such comfort was minimal, it was still something.
However, since his wife already knew about this matter, he naturally had to give her a reasonable explanation and reassure her.
Just not now, but when they were alone.
"If Boss Xing has this intention, I am of course happy and honored!"
"It's just that, even if Boss Xing means to help me, those wholesalers might not necessarily buy it!"
Yu Zhou lowered his head to pour wine for the uninvited guest, Boss Xing, and said as he poured.
