Although it might be a bit offensive to say this in front of the R&D Departnt Director, Zhen Yu still said, "Factory Director, Departnt Director, the most common product from Snowflake Milk Factory in the market is just the ordinary full cream instant milk powder. I, as an outsider, didn’t even know that there was a research and developnt team in the factory! May I ask if you have developed any new products? Have they been sold in the market?"
"Of course, they have been sold! The infant formula milk powder we developed sells pretty well!"
The R&D Departnt Director said with a tone that wasn’t very pleasant!
Such a young girl, who is she looking down on! It’s almost like pointing at the nose and saying he is incompetent, right!?
Yet, his words struck Zhen Yu like a hamr on the forehead! She completely ignored his current facial expression and confird in amazent, "Did you really develop infant formula milk powder?!"
"Of course! Can there be any fake in this!" The R&D Departnt Director continued with a sour face!
"Is it... infant formula milk powder?!"
Zhen Yu repeated it for the second ti, adding the word ’formula’ in between.
But, the R&D Departnt Director suddenly lost his cool! His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot! He coldly said, "How many more tis do I need to say!! Yes, it is the infant formula milk powder! The one we developed!"
"Uh, aha..." Zhen Yu quickly held up an awkward yet polite smile and explained, "I’m just too happy! That’s why I asked twice! I really didn’t expect that the R&D team in the factory could be so capable! It’s really a surprise! Please don’t mind..."
With this explanation, the R&D Departnt Director’s face suddenly cleared up, looking much better. However, he didn’t make any more comnts, obviously still feeling a bit embarrassed.
——
This scene caught the eye of Factory Director Lu, who knew he had to speak up.
So, after sighing, he decided to give Zhen Yu a preemptive warning.
"Zhen Yu, don’t be too happy too soon! The reason I rushed to discuss with you is because there has been a new change in the stock reform!"
"What change?!" Zhen Yu heard that there was a problem with the restructuring and imdiately frowned! The last thing she wanted was to deal with the governnt!
"The governnt now intends to take over only physical assets!"
"Why is this happening?!" Zhen Yu had never run a business, so she didn’t understand the intricacies involved.
Factory Director Lu sighed, "The news of the restructuring has been out for a long ti, but we have delayed too much. I heard that there’s a big group in the province that wants to take over the milk factory, but they don’t want to take on the debt! Just before, I had ntioned buying out the shares myself, so the governnt approached . They an to say that if I am willing to take on the debt, they will give the ’Snowflake’ brand to us."
Zhen Yu fell silent.
Factory Director Lu’s words could also be understood as—she entered the ga too late! Before she had ti to do anything, the big group from the province had already made the first move!
While Zhen Yu was weighing the pros and cons, the other three people in the room were quietly waiting.
Factory Director Lu had actually already made up his mind to take the brand and go at it alone! His subordinates felt the sa! However... their funds were indeed very limited!
If Zhen Yu refused...
Factory Director Lu was secretly worrying, whether he should persuade her or really try to persuade her well!
——
Zhen Yu was not just contemplating alone; after listening to Factory Director Lu’s words, she imdiately connected with He Baihe!
"Sister He! Is there any progress with the milk powder formula?"
He Baihe: "What’s up? Are you anxious? Kind of believe it now, huh? But the other party has made a huge demand, asking for ten million! Do you think they’ve gone mad?!"
"Are you saying that one formula costs ten million?" Zhen Yu’s floating thoughts montarily settled back down upon hearing this price.
He Baihe: "Exactly! Can you believe that?!"
"No worries! No need to get in touch with them anymore! I can get the formula myself!"
He Baihe: "Really?! That’s great news! You didn’t see the look on their faces! Now it’s finally Mom’s turn to slap them in the face!"
"Hehe... Sorry Sister He! I didn’t an for you to be upset!" Zhen Yu was amused by He Baihe’s tone, but she couldn’t continue chatting with her. So she had to say, "I’m in the middle of a negotiation here! Let’s have a good catch-up tonight!"
He Baihe: "Alright! You go ahead and keep busy, I’ll contact you tonight!"
"Okay."
After hanging up the call, Zhen Yu looked up towards Factory Director Lu.
Factory Director Lu and the R&D Departnt Director both imdiately turned their eyes towards her, and even Han Mingyue looked at her.
Although they all kept their expressions neutral, each had subtle movents that slightly revealed their feelings.
—
Seeing that Factory Director Lu and his team were determined to acquire the brand, Zhen Yu naturally found her bargaining chip.
She made eye contact with the others silently for two seconds and then suddenly asked, "Just to confirm, the official statent said that ’tangible assets’ belong to them, right?"
"Yes! Including land, factory buildings, machinery, and the raw material base, all belong to them!"
Factory Director Lu realized that Zhen Yu didn’t understand these details, so he explained them in detail.
Zhen Yu had indeed only thought of the first few things, and hadn’t considered the ’raw material base’! However, this didn’t stop her from continuing to inquire, "So, how much debt would need to be assud if acquiring the brand?"
"Four million!" the R&D Departnt Director blurted out imdiately!
No sooner had he spoken, than Factory Director Lu nodded in agreent.
Zhen Yu suddenly smiled, "You guys aren’t worrying about the debt, right! It’s about not having enough money to build a new factory, isn’t it? How much can you all raise?!"
Her questions made both Factory Director Lu and the R&D Departnt Director’s eyes light up!
Though she’s an outsider in the dairy industry, from a business perspective, she clearly knows what she’s talking about!
Just as Factory Director Lu opened his mouth to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door!
"I go answer it!" the R&D Departnt Director quickly stood up and rushed to open the security door!
As soon as the door opened, a group of burly n charged in, altogether five of them.
Each of them brought in a chill, but without even bothering to take off their coats, they rushed to the sofa area. They all gathered around Factory Director Lu and asked repeatedly: "Where is the person? The person partnering with us?"
Evidently, due to their youthful appearances, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue were once again overlooked.
They were likely mistaken for so relatives’ children of the R&D Departnt Director...
"Cough!" Factory Director Lu pushed through the crowd and stood up, extending his hand towards Zhen Yu, "Let introduce solemnly, this is our partner! Zhen Yu!"
The five burly n all stood there stunned, silent for a long while!
Zhen Yu gave Factory Director Lu a smile, yet she didn’t deny it.
