Chapter 172 Returns to Zhao's Food Factory Branch 3
"Orders are pouring in every day, like snowflakes, we're simply overwhelmed. Trucks are constantly coming and going from the factory. Our products are also incredibly popular in stores, sales are booming. Instant noodles, in particular, are in high demand, far exceeding our expected production. However..."
At this point, Zhou Nan paused slightly, a hint of worry appearing on her face.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan pressed for an answer:
"But what? Speak your mind."
Zhou Nan took a deep breath and continued:
"According to reliable sources, the province's No. 1 Food Factory, seeing how well our instant noodles are selling, has begun to imitate and produce similar products. And I heard they plan to launch them on the market next month."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan's expression turned serious, but he quickly regained his composure.
After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"In that case, we must ensure that our quality remains consistent and we cannot slack off in the slightest. At the same time, we must closely monitor the actions of the Third Food Factory and keep abreast of their latest developments."
Furthermore, before their official launch, we need to take preemptive action by the end of this month and plan a large-scale promotional campaign. You should each prepare a copy of this promotional plan first, and implement it nationwide. Headquarters should also prepare a copy, and then we'll finalize the specific marketing strategy later. Market competition will be the norm in the future, and we must approach it with a calm and composed attitude.
This time, the discounts must be substantial enough, and the timing must be precise. The goal is to quickly seize more market share, causing their products to face sluggish sales as soon as they hit the market.
Zhou Nan nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood: "Yes. Okay, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely do as you instruct."
The car slowly glided into the open gate of Zhao's Food Factory.
Through the car window, one can see a bustling scene inside the factory: machines are roaring, and conveyor belts are continuously transporting various ingredients and semi-finished products; workers are wearing uniform work clothes and safety helmets, and they are focused and orderly operating the equipment at their respective posts, either moving goods or checking quality, and every movement is so skilled and precise.
Mr. Zhao's return was like a spring breeze sweeping across this vibrant land, seemingly injecting the entire factory with an unstoppable force.
The workers' faces beamed with excitement and anticipation, and they worked with even greater enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, upon learning of General Manager Zhao's return, all the middle-level managers eagerly gathered in the spacious and bright conference room.
They all looked serious and anxious, constantly checking their watches, hoping that the important meeting was about to begin as soon as possible.
Everyone knew that this meeting was crucial for the factory's future development.
After rushing back to the company, Zhou Nan went straight to the office to arrange for someone to order food and informed them of the ordering standards.
"Mr. Zhao, everything for dinner has been arranged. Who would you like to invite? I'll have the office call them right away."
Zhou Nan said respectfully.
Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, then replied:
"Yes, you only need to call Director Qi Yong and Secretary Luo Zongguang of the Provincial Chemical Plant, Director Gu Tiehao of the Provincial Machinery Plant, and Dean Bai Wei. As for the other personnel, Secretary Bai Bin will be responsible for notifying them."
"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I understand. I'll arrange the relevant matters immediately."
After Zhou Nan finished speaking, she wrote down the list of invited guests and then called them one by one to notify them.
"Okay, let's start the meeting in the conference room right away."
Zhao Yuan then went to the conference room.
The conference room was already full of people.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao."
As soon as Zhao Yuan entered the meeting room, everyone stood up to greet him.
"Okay, let's start the meeting."
Zhao Yuan waved to everyone, signaling them to sit down, and then walked onto the stage.
"I'll listen to the reports from each department first."
Zhao Yuan said.
Then, the leaders in charge of each department took turns to report on their work.
The data was very encouraging, and everyone who gave the report was beaming with joy.
Zhao Yuan was extremely satisfied with the data. He expressed his gratitude for the hard work of all the staff and instructed them to take good care of their employees and to ensure that benefits and overtime pay were paid on time.
After the meeting ended, Zhao Yuan checked his watch; it was already five o'clock, time for dinner.
Zhao Yuan led Zhou Nan to the hotel's private room, where they waited for the guests to arrive.
Not long after, Secretary Bai Bin walked into the banquet hall with steady steps. He greeted everyone present with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Director Liu Luming of the Construction Committee also rushed over. He was wearing a sharp suit and looked very capable.
Subsequently, Factory Director Qi Yong and Party Secretary Luo Zongguang arrived one after another, and their arrival immediately enlivened the entire banquet hall.
After exchanging greetings, everyone began to chat warmly.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the entire space in an instant.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan stood up, raised his wine glass high, and said with gratitude on his face:
"Thank you all so much for your continued support and cooperation. Without you, we could not have achieved what we have today!" With that, he downed his drink in one gulp.
Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses in response, expressing their willingness to continue working together.
The banquet was in full swing, with everyone enjoying the delicious food and chatting about various topics.
At some point, the conversation gradually shifted to the future development of the factory.
Secretary Bai Bin spoke first, saying, "President Zhao, rest assured, the government will continue to increase its support for our factory, helping the company to grow stronger and make greater contributions to local economic development."
Upon hearing these words, everyone present couldn't help but show their delight.
Immediately afterwards, Director Liu Luming, with a smile on his face, whispered a very important message to President Zhao:
"Mr. Zhao, yesterday I heard Secretary Bai mention that your company intends to expand its production scale and is preparing to expand the factory. The land around Zhao's Food Factory has not yet been allocated. If your factory does have a need to use the land, then this land can be allocated to you with priority."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao's face instantly lit up with an ecstatic smile. He excitedly stood up abruptly and exclaimed:
"That's wonderful! To be honest, yesterday, Director Zhou and I went to that site for an on-site inspection. When we stood there, looking at that vast land, we were filled with anticipation and excitement for the construction of the new factory."
