"My opinion?" Factory Manager Liu looked around and said, "My opinion is very simple. I'll go talk to Mr. Jia Yapeng privately and try to turn the page. If it doesn't work, then I'll go to the city leaders. Jia Yapeng didn't give me face, but he wouldn't dare to not give face to the city leaders!"
"What? You want us to surrender to the bourgeoisie? Where did you take the original? "Someone immediately rebuked.
"No, you can't say that. It's the reform and opening up now. These are all allowed by the state. Moreover, this time we did let them down. If we apologize to them and repair the relationship, that would be pretty good!" The secretary quickly said, and the others nodded in agreement.
Factory Manager Liu also felt a little relieved.
"Little Liu, if we shake hands with that Jia something and make peace, do you think we can continue to produce these cards peacefully?" The secretary turned his head and asked Factory Manager Liu a question that made Factory Manager Liu widen his eyes.
After taking the initiative to apologize, they still expected to continue producing these pirated cards. What kind of brain circuit would ask such a question?
"Secretary, I'm afraid that won't work. I'm afraid they won't allow it. After all, they rely on these cards to make money. If we shake hands with Jia Yapeng and make peace, these cards naturally can't be produced anymore!" Factory Manager Liu said with a bitter smile.
"If that's the case … then there's a problem!" The secretary said with a long tone. This sentence was like a signal, and the others immediately jumped up.
"Absolutely not. We can't stop the production of these Water Margin Hero Cards. On the contrary, I think we should expand the production. It's good that Jia Yapeng has cut ties with us. We don't have to produce for him anymore and let him sell them to make money. All the money will be earned by us! "
"That's right. We made five million last month, which is more than what we got from Jia Yapeng last year. This Jia Yapeng is a completely insatiable Huang Shiren. Why should he earn all the money and we can't?"
"But these cards became popular because of Jia Yapeng's animation. Without him, these cards wouldn't have sold for so much money!" Factory Manager Liu lowered his head and said helplessly.
"What do you mean by credit for the animation? What do you mean by Jia Yapeng making it popular? I think it's all because of us!" One of the factory leaders said. The people around them all looked over, wanting to hear the leader's opinion.
"The fact that these cards are selling so well is actually due to the exquisite and beautiful printing! How could those cards be printed so exquisitely and beautifully? Of course, it's because our state-run printing factory in Yuzhang City has superb technology, advanced equipment, and perfect management. The employees have worked hard! "
"By the way, I heard that Jia Yapeng knelt down and kowtowed in front of Factory Manager Liu in order to get us to help him with the printing. He begged us, so we helped him out of mercy! Old Liu, do you think this is true? "The leader looked at Director Liu and asked.
"Yes … I think so … I don't remember it clearly …" Director Liu's face was a little pale, but he still said so.
"That's right. All the credit belongs to us. It has nothing to do with Jia Yapeng. Without us printing for him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to sell a box of crispy noodle snacks!"
"Also, XX once said that the whole country is a game of chess. Everyone is contributing to the big picture. What is the big picture? The whole of Yuzhang City is the big picture, and all the people are the big picture. For the benefit of all the people of Yuzhang City, there's no such thing as copyright. Do we still want to eat from the same pot? "
"That's right!"
"That's right!" The other leaders clapped their hands and cheered. Even the secretary couldn't help but nod.
"I think we should open a food factory and produce crispy noodle snacks. It's not a lot to sell 108 crispy noodle snacks for 5 yuan. It's more profitable to buy them together with other crispy noodle snacks. Let's not be so greedy. If Jia Yapeng sells them for 50 cents a pack, let's sell them for 30 cents or even 20 cents!"
"I have a distant relative who works in Jia Yapeng's factory. He said that the actual cost of a pack of crispy noodle snacks is less than 5 cents. Even if we sell them for 20 cents a pack, we can make three times the profit!"
"Good!" There was a burst of cheers, and then everyone saw the secretary begin to applaud. Everyone in the entire conference room also began to applaud.
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Little Liu, you can go and have a talk with Jia Yapeng. If it goes well, then we can shake hands and make peace. We can also continue to help him print his cards. It's just that we have to prioritize our own cards in terms of production capacity. Just help him print in your spare time!"
"If he doesn't agree, then forget it. We don't have to give him face anymore. We can open a food factory and sell crispy noodle snacks together. Isn't he called Little Elf Crispy Noodle Snacks? Let's call him Little Raccoon. I think raccoons are quite cute! "The secretary's words won a round of applause, including Director Liu.
"Everyone, what if Jia Yapeng really goes to court to sue us?" Director Liu couldn't help but ask after the applause.
"Old Liu, you're getting more and more timid. Look around, there are so many people like us in this world. If they're fine, what can we do?"
"Well, if there's no other way, I can report to the city leaders. We're all children of our parents. Will they help an outsider?"
"That's right. We have more than a thousand workers and more than three thousand workers' families behind us. They're all counting on us to survive. Will the leaders help an outsider?"
"Old Liu, you can rest assured. If Jia Yapeng knows his place, it's fine. If he dares to be a clown there, the people won't let him go!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! " Seeing that everyone in the meeting room was of the same opinion, Director Liu had nothing to say. He expressed his agreement. Then the factory leaders quickly reached a consensus, and the matter was resolved happily.
When the meeting was over, Director Liu returned to his office and sat in his chair for more than an hour. His secretary was a little worried and asked with concern, "Director, is there anything I can do?"
"Xiao Xu!" Director Liu sighed and finally said, "You've been taking notes of today's meeting. Tell me, what do you think?"
"What can I think? All the leaders have thought of everything from a strategically advantageous position. We just need to do our job well!" The secretary said with a smile.
"Xiao Xu, you're trained by me. I don't want to listen to this bullshit. Tell me honestly, what do you think?!" Director Liu suddenly said sternly. Xiao Xu was shocked. He carefully observed his leader's expression. After making sure that he wasn't testing him, he said carefully, "Today's leaders seem to be taking things for granted, too …"
"Too what?"
"Too …"
"Too what?"
"Too … Too …"
"Forget it. You've learned to be glib. Are you trying to say that they're too stupid?" Director Liu snorted and said.
"Director, I can't say that …" The secretary said with a bitter smile.
"Let me tell you, you're wrong. All the people in the meeting room are old foxes. None of them are stupid, although they all know in their hearts how stupid their words are!" Director Liu sneered.
"Then why did they say that?" The secretary couldn't help but ask.
"Because they are too smart, and 5 million is too tempting. That's 5 million. Our total sales last year was only 12 million. If there's 5 million every month, that's 60 million in a year! How many benefits can we give to the factory with this 60 million? How much profit can we give to the higher-ups? How much can we give them?! "
"That's why they have to lie and say stupid things. If they don't lie to their own people, how can they lie to others? If they don't find a suitable reason for themselves, how can they convince the higher-ups? "Director Liu knocked on the table. The secretary suddenly understood.
"Then the factory, are they really not afraid that Jia Yapeng will sue us?" The secretary couldn't help but ask.
"They shouldn't be afraid of a lawsuit. After all, they're right about one thing. We're their sons!" Director Liu said.
"Then why are you still hesitating? Isn't this a great achievement for you as well? After all, you're the one who pushed for this matter. When the old Secretary changes positions, you … "
"Shut your mouth!" Director Liu glared at the secretary, and the secretary obediently shut up.
"If we can get 5 million every month, I won't say anything. But we're draining the pond to catch all the fish. Jia Yapeng will definitely use a lot of means to win back the consumers. Our 5 million monthly income might not last until next year!"
"What's worse is that Jia Yapeng will definitely publicize this matter. Our factory's reputation will be completely ruined this time. I'm afraid that no private companies will dare to ask us to print in the future. This matter will cause endless trouble. Our factory will be in real trouble in a few years' time!" Director Liu's foresight was indeed very far-sighted.
But this time, he was thinking a little too far ahead.
As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
But Jia Yapeng was not a gentleman.
