Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 840 - Who"s backing is stronger?
"ChairmanZhu, Feng Yu, is the one in charge of the beverage alliance. He is back inChina now and you should look for him. I still have something on, and I willmake a move now." Zhong Qingxian said and walked away, ignoring Zhu Shuangyin"scalls.
Feng Yuwas right. Zhu Shuangyin was only a Divisional levelofficer, and he thought he is a high-ranking leader! In Zhejiang, ZhongQingxian is well respected even by the Provincial Governor!
Zhu Shuangyin was furious. Zhong Qingxiandares to ignore him! He is only a businessman, and how dare he go against agovernment official?! He doesn"t know his contract with the SportsAdministration had been stopped? Also, who does Feng Yu thinks he is?
Zhu Shuangyin had received some "benefits"from the two Taiwanese companies and had to help them. Once this matter isresolved, he will receive more from the companies.
Let me settle this issue first, and I willsettle the score later!
"h.e.l.lo, Feng Yu? I am Zhuang Zhuangyin.Where are you now?"
"Oh, Chairman Zhu? I am busy right not. Isthere anything?" Feng Yu asked.
Zhu Shuangyin cursed in his heart. Youdon"t know why I am looking for you?
"Come to my office immediately!"
Feng Yu sneered when he heard ZhuShuangyin"s tone. He really thinks he is somebody?! Interfering with theindustry? Who gave him permission to do this?
"I"m sorry. I got no time. I am very busynow. If you are really urgent, you can come and look for me." Feng Yu calmlyreplied.
Zhu Shuangyin took a few deep breaths:"Fine! I will go and look for you now! Where are you?"
Feng Yu told Zhu Shuangyin the address andhang up. After hanging up, Zhu Shuangyin had a sinister expression on his face.Feng Yu, after I get back the money for the Taiwanese companies, I will takecare of you!
……
"Manager Feng, sorry to let you wait."
"I have just arrived not long ago. DirectorFang, have a seat. Try this Hongguan Yuanli drink. This is specially designedfor athletes and can replenish their Electrolytes and water." Feng Yu pa.s.sed acan of Hongguan Yuanli to Director Fang.
This beverage is designed for sportsmen,and it means it is a healthy drink for long term consumption. This drink isbetter than Jianlibao as some athlete feedback that they felt bloated afterdrinking Jianlibao.
Director Fang took a sip, and the taste issimilar to Jianlibao. Both drinks were orange favored, but Hongguan Yuanli isnot carbonated and not very sweet.
"You called me over just for thisbeverage?" Director Fang put down the can and asked.
"This is only one of the reasons. Thecomponents of this Hongguan Yuanli drink are exactly the same as oversea.s.sports drinks and I think this can be our Olympic Games team beverage. Ofcourse, I know our National team had already signed a contract with Jianlibao,but we can still offer them both beverages. Jianlibao can be given to thecoaches, team doctors, etc. and this drink can be given to the athletes."
"You should speak to the SportsAdministration. I am not in charge of these." Director Fang was curious aboutwhy Feng Yu asked him out to talk about these.
"I know I should not bother you over thesetrivial matters. What I wanted to say is the Sports Administration Communityhad agreed to let us sponsor this drink, but the leader of the BeverageIndustry a.s.sociation stopped this contract." Feng Yu said.
"They have the authority to interfere withthis matter?" Director Fang frowned. That Beverage Industry a.s.sociation is onlyto coordinate matters involving the industry. How can they interfere withcompanies" contracts?"
"Who knows? But the leaders at the SportsAdministration asked us to sort out ourselves. Jianlibao had agreed to Lehahasponsoring Hongguan Yuanli, and Lehaha had compensated Jianlibao. The SportsAdministration does not need to pay a single cent and everything will besponsored by Lehaha. This should be an ordinary business transaction, but now,the authorities are interfering. I have no choice but to seek help from you."Feng Yu said.
"I will help you ask around to find outwhat is going on. This should not be the only reason why you asked me out,right?" Director Fang asked.
"There is one more matter which involvesTaiwanese companies and the Chairman of the Beverage Industry a.s.sociation. Thisis supposed to be business-related as the Taiwanese Companies had breached thecontract and we held the payments to them as compensations. CCTV"s had reported on this two days ago but those two Taiwanese companiesare not giving up."
Tongyi and Kang Shifu had used theirconnections to get the leaders to pressure the alliance to release theirpayments. Let"s see who"s backing is stronger! If you want to settle thiscommercially, I welcome it. You want to make use of politics? I can also win!
Director Fang frowned. This matter involvedTaiwanese companies and got to take caution. Anything related to Taiwan is very sensitive. If an American or Russiancompany is involved, there will be no problems, but Taiwanese companies willhave complications.
"Can"t you all settle this amicably? We areall fellow Chinese and should not strain our relationship."
"Director Fang, we treated them as ourfellow Chinese, but did they see us as the same? We are venturing overseas tocreate wealth for our country and increasing our people"s income. But whatabout them? They had surrendered to the US! We must be reasonable, and we arein the right. Why should we give in to them?" Feng Yu said.
Director Fang frowned. China"s relationshipwith Taiwan is on the verge of falling out, and this matter can be used to testTaiwan"s att.i.tude towards China.
"You said the leader of the beverageindustry a.s.sociation is interfering in this matter?"
Before Feng Yu could answer, their privatedining room"s door was pushed open. Zhu Shuangyin entered without knocking.
"Feng Yu, I can"t even call you over to seeme? I am ordering you to return the payments with interests to the Taiwanesecompanies immediately!"
Zhu Shuangyin entered the room and saw FengYu with another man whose back was facing him. He did not think much andthought that man was just another businessman. Which businessman dares to goagainst him?
"Chairman Zhu, they had breached the contract,and we are just acting based on what was agreed upon in the first place. I amalso a committee member of the a.s.sociation. The a.s.sociation does not have theright to interfere in this matter." Feng Yu replied.
"The a.s.sociation cannot interfere, but Ican! Let me tell you, don"t think Lehaha and Jianlibao are doing well now andyou all can ignore my orders. I am the one who stopped the sponsorship contractbetween Yuanli beverage and the Sports Administration! If you still insist ongoing against my orders, I will force Lehaha to stop production for their teabeverage! I am not afraid to let you know that I am giving those Taiwanesecompanies special treatment!" Zhu Shuangyin said arrogantly.
Feng Yu did not say anything and smiled atZhu Shuangyin.
Zhu Shuangyin was furious. Since you wantto go against me, then don"t blame me for being ruthless!
"Feng Yu, you are asking for it! You willreceive a 1 million fine from the a.s.sociation!" Zhu Shuangyin said.
"What is this fine for, and which unit willbe issuing the fine?" A man asked.
"We are talking here and why the f**k areyou interrupting…… Fang… Director Fang?!" Zhu Shuangyin was about to scold thatman when his knees suddenly go weak. He nearly kneels down in front of DirectorFang.
Why is Director Fang here? He is supposedto be Iron-fist Zhu"s a.s.sistant. Why is he sitting together with Feng Yu?Director Fang had heard everything earlier, and I even scolded him!
Zhu Shuangyin felt the world was collapsing around him. He knew his career and life were over!
