Chapter 818 - 817: It’s Too Late for Regrets
After dinner, when all the guests had gone, Shen Mingzhu took advantage of helping Pei Wenping carry stuff back to have a quick chat about the food factory’s recent situation.
"You disagreed with cooperating with Luo Sen, and Luo Sen turned around and invested in Hui Kang. Now Hui Kang, with Luo Sen Group’s name and financial power, is frantically grabbing market share. To sell more and get Hui Kang’s subsidies, a lot of distributors have cleared our factory’s products off their shelves to display Hui Kang’s."
"In addition to Hui Kang, Lejia and Xin Zhiwei, a few competitors in the same industry, have also been making big moves lately. Lejia has partnered with Sixi Group from Wan Province and has become their exclusive distributor in the Mainland Area. Xin Zhiwei managed to manufacture alongside the foreign retail giant Bai Lefu, and their sales volume has also flipped more than tenfold."
"The impact on our business is just one aspect; quite a few of the factory workers have been poached by higher salaries, and sales are continuously declining. It’s not just Du Juan who’s under tremendous pressure—I find myself quite envious looking at our competitors thriving."
While Pei Wenping spoke, she carefully observed Shen Mingzhu’s expression.
Seeing that Shen Mingzhu remained calm without any fluctuation, she couldn’t help but feel admiration.
...
When Shen Chaobei came home with the two kids, he was surprised to find Du Juan eating noodles alone at the dining table.
"You came back early today. Didn’t you eat at the banquet?"
He approached and, seeing only a few leaves of greens in Du Juan’s bowl, said, "Eat slowly, I’ll fry you a couple of eggs."
