After Qiudu Ham was exposed to be tainted with human flesh, the whole industry was in an uproar. The company's leaders were quickly replaced, and a few of them were pushed out to be the scapegoat!
If this was Feng Yu's company, Feng Yu would fire all the leaders, especially the "strategist" who came up with the idea! A fortune teller could also become the company's strategist. This was a legend!
If Feng Yu was Qiudu's leader, he would immediately introduce a new flavor of ham. It would be called Smoked Meat Flavor! Many people did not like the smell of smoke, but there were some who liked it.
The worst case scenario would be a failed product, and Qiudu's reputation would not be affected. No one would believe the rumors of human flesh. If he was lucky enough to succeed, he would be able to increase the variety of products, although the chances of success were slim.
But this way, not only they could avoid any losses, it would also not affect their brand. This Smoked Meat Ham could also be sold at a higher price, and there might be high profits.
Or they could cut their losses and announce that any meat that did not meet the standards would not be made into Qiudu Ham. This was also a good choice.
Although they would lose 40 million, they could also increase the selling price of Qiudu Ham. This was enough to prove that the quality of Qiudu Ham was trustworthy. They had strict control over the quality of Qiudu Ham! This would also increase the brand's value and influence.
The increase in the brand's value, reputation, and influence would also increase the sales. This 40 million loss was nothing to them! Qiudu's annual profits were more than 100 million, and they could afford to lose 40 million!
The meat could also be distributed to the factory's workers as a form of welfare. After all, not every family could afford to eat pork every day. Although the meat was damaged, it was still edible, and the workers would be happy.
There were many ways to deal with this problem, but Qiudu's leaders chose the worst method. It was fine even if they chose this method. They should have told the distributors clearly.
The distributors were kept in the dark and did not know that there was a problem with this batch of ham. The taste of the ham sausages became strange, and the reputation of the dealers would also become worse. Of course, they would not be happy. Those who bought this batch of ham will think that this batch of Qiudu ham is fake! The dealer wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain why the ham sausage would taste like this.
At this time, their competitor, Danhui Ham, made their move. They easily bribed these distributors and some unscrupulous media outlets to spread rumors of human flesh in Qiudu Ham. This was a fatal blow!
Since they were all ham, they could sell to anyone. Danhui's ham tasted good, and Qiudu's cost was also high. They were eager to have a competitor to let the proud Qiudu Company know that without their distributors, Qiudu Ham would not be so popular.
At this time, Qiudu's people realized that they had made a grave mistake, and they tried their best to salvage the situation.
However, rumors were something that spread widely and quickly. Killing rumors would require much more effort than spreading rumors, and the difficulty would also increase exponentially!
Especially when there were people who specifically added fuel to the flames of rumors, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
Since Danhui Company had stabbed them in the back, then they must stab them to death. If not, when Danhui Company recovered, they would still be trampled on. In fact, they might even be trampled on even more ruthlessly. In serious cases, they might even lose their lives!
The rumors were getting worse, and this was what Danhui Company wanted. Qiudu Ham's sales plummeted. Although the increase in their sales was not as much as expected, after Qiudu Ham's brand was completely gone, the market demand for Qiudu Ham would still be there, and their sales would definitely increase!
Qiudu Company could not handle the situation by themselves, so they asked for help from the higher-ups. They were a state-owned enterprise owned by the City, and it was their habit to ask for help from the higher-ups if they had any problems.
Especially when Qiudu Company found out that the one who stabbed them in the back was another company from the neighboring city, Danhui Company. They wanted to complain to the higher-ups!
When the leaders of Qiudu City heard this, they thought to themselves. We are being slandered by that Danhui Company? This was unacceptable. They must speak to the leaders of the City. How shameless are you to slander us like this?!
The leaders of the City where Danhui Company was located also knew about this incident. Although they felt it was not right to do so, they had visited Qiudu Company to learn from them.
But since it had already happened, and they could still get benefits from it, it was a different story. If Qiudu's boss became Danhui Company, it would be a political achievement for them.
In front of political achievements, no one could resist. Furthermore, did Qiudu Company have any evidence? The leaders of the City where Danhui Company was located would never admit to this incident.
So, they started to accuse Qiudu Company of making false accusations. You do not have any evidence, and how can you accuse us of slandering you? If you didn't use the problematic pork, would you have ended up in this situation?
So, the war between the two companies became a war between the two cities. In the end, it reached the Provincial Leaders. The Provincial Government had wanted to use the food industry as the province's pillar industry to boost the province's economy.
Anyway, Qiudu's ham was in short supply now. The Provincial Government was happy to see another ham manufacturer appear in the province, and it was the Provincial Government who pushed for this.
Imitating and following the trend was a shortcut for the Provincial Government. Don't you see that there are now ham sausage companies all over the country? Most of them were state-owned enterprises and were supported by the City Government.
Danhui and Qiudu Company were also fine with this. They were both companies in the province, and the value they created belonged to the province. They could even work together to stop the other ham manufacturers from making a name for themselves.
Both of them were his children. What if both of them were to fight? The Provincial Government must not take sides. Everyone should be punished equally. This was the most common method used by the Provincial Government.
The leaders of both cities were scolded, but no one was willing to give in. All of them insisted that they were in the right, and the other party was in the wrong. Danhui saw the opportunity to rise, and Qiudu felt that Danhui had ruined them.
While they were making a fuss, no one noticed that a brand called Tai Hua Brand Ham had started to be sold all over China from the Northeast region.
Feng Yu went to Tai Hua Trading's distributors and asked them to help him promote Tai Hua Ham. Although Tai Hua Ham was not famous, Feng Yu guaranteed that there would be commercials airing on CCTV, and there would be celebrities endorsing the commercials. This would increase the popularity of Tai Hua Ham.
Now was the time for Danhui and Qiudu to fight. Tai Hua Ham would be the third party to reap the benefits!
