Chapter 838 - Combination punches


"ManagerWei, I have said all I have to say, and it is up to you whether if you want tolisten. Based on our agreement, you are breaching the contract. Don"t think youhave special privileges just because you are from Taiwan!" Zhong Qingxian saton the sofa, looking at the slightly shaken Wei Yingchuan.


Initially,no one wants Kang Shifu and Tongyi to join the alliance, but the Chairman ofthe Beverage Industry a.s.sociation wanted to establish a good relationship withboth straits and allowed these two companies to partic.i.p.ate.


Afterjoining the alliance, the rest of the companies also took care of these twoTaiwanese companies, but these two companies disappointed everyone in the end.


Did theythink they are Taiwanese companies, and they can do whatever they want? TheChinese government might be giving in to Taiwan to try to reconcile with them.But that does not mean the Taiwanese companies can ignore the agreement signedduring the formation of the alliance.


"Mr.Zhong, we had met with some difficulties."


"Youdon"t need to explain. I had already finished what I have to say, and this isthe alliance"s decision. I will give you 3 days to consider." Zhong Qingxiancan"t be bothered to say anything more and left.


Back atthe hotel, Li Jingwei entered Zhong Qingxian"s room.


"I hadtold Manager Luo, and he looks like he does not believe we can do anything tothem." Li Jingwei sneered.


"KangShifu is also the same. They thought we will tolerate their nonsense. I thinkwe should act according to the contract and stop their payment for this month"sgoods." Zhong Qingxian replied coldly. Kang Shifu and Tongyi were selling teabeverages like Lehaha, and Lehaha is still China"s biggest tea beveragemanufacturer. What they are doing will affect Lehaha"s profits.


"They areTaiwanese companies, and if we fall out with them, can we handle the aftermath?The Chairman still have not say anything." Li Jingwei asked worryingly.


Therelationship between China and Taiwan had been tense, and if this incidentbecomes an international dispute, it will be out of the alliance"s control.


"ManagerFeng says he will handle this, and we don"t need to worry about all these.Manager Feng might be young, but he has relationships with the top bra.s.s of thegovernment." Zhong Qingxian was calm as he knows Feng Yu can handle all thesetroubles.


……


"ManagerFeng, those two companies" replies are the same. They claim their productionhad met with some difficulties, and everything will be fine after two months."


Twomonths? They want to drag until we have opened up the markets and takeadvantage of it? Their replies after two months will surely be the same, andafter the Chinese beverage brands had successfully established a foothold in theUS next year, they will resume their supply to the overseas market. Meanwhile,they will increase their market share and profits in the Chinese market.


Fat hope!


"Ok. Iwill handle this!"


These twoTaiwanese companies are trying to be funny? Fine. I don"t mind teaching them alesson!


Now, itis all up to Feng Yu"s BML company. These beverage companies do not have anybranch offices overseas and had to depend on BML company for payments of theirgoods. Feng Yu immediately call BML to hold the payments for these twocompanies.


……


"What?BML still has not settle last month"s payment? It"s been 3 days, why didn"t youtell me earlier?"


"Director,I thought it is because of the time difference between the US and China. When Icalled them, they told me our payments were being held by them. I tried tospeak to the person-in-charge, but he is very firm. I have no choice but tocall you." Luo Zhixian called Gao Qinghui to report.


"Theydare to hold our payments? Fine! I will contact Chairman Zhu now. I will makesure they regret this!"


"Director,they also held back the payments for Tongyi. I think we can work with them topressure BML to release our payments. After all, we are all Taiwanese." LuoZhixian said.


"Alright,we will blow up this matter!"


BeforeKang Shifu and Tongyi can blow things up, they realized they were reported.


CCTV"s reports about the beverage alliance in their latestepisode. The program emphasized that the Chinese beverages formed this allianceto compete in the overseas market and mentioned Taiwanese companies and HongKong companies are also in this alliance.


Butduring the interview with one of the founders of this alliance, Lehaha Group"sZhong Qingxian, he said something shocking.


"We chosethe companies in the alliance based on their companies" financial strength,scale, and brand awareness. This is to enter the overseas market together.During that time, a few Taiwanese companies wanted to partic.i.p.ate in thisalliance. After some consideration, we picked the strongest two Taiwanesecompanies. Actually, these two companies are not strong at all, and we are justhelping them. This is also to improve its relationship with Taiwan."


"But whathappened in the end? After all the companies signed the agreement, we paid allthe fees accordingly and tried our best to penetrate the overseas market. Somecompanies are just sitting there trying to reap the benefits without putting inthe effort like the rest of us and even tried to hinder us. When our oversea.s.sales Representative Company asked them to deliver their goods, they could notdeliver it. What they did had greatly tarnish our alliance"s reputation and ourcustomers will lose their trust in us. They are tarnishing the reputation ofChina!" Zhong Qingxian got agitated.


"ChairmanZhong, sorry for interrupting. Can I ask which company is this? Or is there morethan one company?" The reporter asked.


"They areall Taiwanese companies. One is Kang Shifu, and the other is Tongyi," ZhongQingxian replied.


"Thesetwo companies are selling instant noodles, right?"


"That"sright. They were selling instant noodles, and when they see our tea beveragesselling well, they follow suit. I don"t mind them imitating our products,packaging and taste. But when doing business, we should abide by the rules.What are the rules? The rules are written in the contract signed by them!"


"You aresaying they breach the contract?"


"It"smore serious than breaching the contract. They think they are Taiwanesecompanies and can take advantage of us. More than one month ago, they hadalready breached the contract, and when we approached them, they gave us allsorts of excuses. This beverage alliance is a non-profit organization and evenour overseas sales company, BML, did not earn a single cent from us and evenhad to pump in some money. But these two companies were too much and we triedto speak to them again. But they still have the same att.i.tude, which is toignore the terms of the contract!"


"ChairmanZhong, how are you all going to settle this?"


"How arewe going to settle this? We will go according to the terms of the contract.This contract is already beneficial to them, and they still chose to breach theterms. We will not take this lying down! We don"t care where they come from,they must abide by the contract and respect the laws!" Zhong Qingxian shouted.


……


"d.a.m.n!Zhong Qingxian, Lehaha, you all are trying to force us? Get the legaldepartment to issue them a letter! We will fight them in courts!"


"Director,we cannot do this. According to the contract, we had breached the terms of thecontract. Look at this term. The compensation for breaching the contract termsis 10 times the original amount. If we go to courts, we might have to pay themmore!"


"Thentell me what we should do? Admit we are at fault?" Gao Qingyuan askedfuriously.


"Actually,I think this is a good opportunity for us to enter the western countries"markets. When Tongyi was first set up, we are also losing money for the first 6years. After that, we used 2 years to recover the losses from the 6 years. Whydon"t we just supply the goods according to the contract, and I believe theywill release our payments after we give in as we are a Taiwanese company afterall." Luo Zhixian said.


"What isKang Shifu going to do?"


"I heardthey are going to their connections for help. How about we join them and usesome of our connections? I believe Chairman Zhu should be able to help."


"Alright.You must settle this matter properly! The Chinese market is too significant tous, and we cannot afford to lose it. You must turn our reputation around and ifnecessary, push all the blame to Kang Shifu. Understand?" Guo Qingyuan"sthinking was simple. If I am in trouble, my compet.i.tors must also be introuble!


"Yes. I know what to do!"
