From Ke Xinyi, Zhang Yitian got an important piece of news. The matter that he had always been grumpy about, which was the matter of Dongchuan Agricultural Group trying to purchase the Fruit and Vegetable Group, finally had an unexpected result.
That was because the Giant Alligator had suddenly stopped, and the news had come from the inside of the Fruit and Vegetable Group, with perfect accuracy.
Zhang Yitian really could not understand, why would such a good chance for Dongchuan Agriculture to stop? Furthermore, as long as it opened its mouth to discuss the purchase, with Tian Fuhai's personality, even if the price was ridiculously low, he would still agree to it because he did not want to fall into Zhang Yitian's hands.
But now that the Dongchuan Agricultural Group had stopped, the only thing that was left to eat was Shennong Group.
Although this was an extremely good news, Zhang Yitian was still unable to relax, because this instead caused a trace of worry to rise in his heart.
If the other party was willing to let go of something that had just happened, then the reason must be even more important than this.
Although Zhang Yitian was not clear about the reason behind this, but he had reason to believe that this was perhaps the calmness before the storm.
However, the current situation did not allow Zhang Yitian to think too much into it. While taking this opportunity to speed up the acquisition of Fruit and Vegetable Group, he also had to focus on handling the matters regarding the Yuncheng.
On one hand, making a fuss during the Yuncheng International Tourism Festival was because the huge market of two million people. This was also the other aspect that Zhang Yitian needed to seriously consider.
The scale of the local fruits and vegetables enterprises in Yuncheng were not that big. Other than one or two enterprises that could monopolize a large portion of the market, the rest of them were basically just itinerant warriors.
This was an absolutely good opportunity for him and Shennong Group. This person was better than tidying up a plate of loose sand, it was much simpler than tidying up an iron plate. This was the valuable experience Zhang Yitian learned from Fruit and Vegetable Group.
Zhang Yitian had specially transferred Chu Fei over from the company. He had always been in charge of the market, so no one else was more suitable to handle this matter in the market than him.
On the second day, as soon as Chu Fei arrived, he was pulled along by Zhang Yitian to do some market research.
There weren't many channels for the sale of fruits and vegetables in the Yuncheng. There were large and medium scale businesses, as well as specialised shops. Even adding them all together, there were not even fifty of them.
Among them, only four of them were on such a small scale. One was the largest supermarket in Yuncheng, the other was the largest farmers' market, and the other two were fruit and vegetable chain companies.
One of them was a local enterprise with more than twenty stores under the jurisdiction. It had almost a third of the sales market share of the Yuncheng, fruits and vegetables.
The other company was an even more influential one.
"First Farm" was a nationwide chain of fruit and vegetables sales companies. It was said that there were more than eight hundred shops in the entire country, covering more than two hundred large and medium-sized cities.
Even at the national level, it is an influential enterprise.
If Zhang Yitian wanted to include Yuncheng in his territory, dealing with these four companies was naturally essential.
Therefore, he specially arranged for an invitation to be served at one of the most luxurious hotels in Yuncheng, and had even sent ahead of time an invitation to the owners of these four businesses, as well as to the CEOs of the other fruit and vegetable sales companies in Yuncheng.
Zhang Yitian had sent out a total of thirty or so invitations, but in the end, only a mere twelve people had come.
But even so, Zhang Yitian knew that they were not here to discuss business with him. Most of them were probably here to find out what was going on, and some of them were just here to scrounge for a meal.
No one knew who Zhang Yitian was from the start, but they were all very familiar with the people who came. After all, those who came to the table were either friends or enemies.
Some people were puzzled and started to discuss with each other. Most of them were already there, but Zhang Yitian did not show himself for a long time.
"Who is the one treating us? it doesn't seem to be from the Yuncheng, right? "
"They say that their Linyi has developed quite well, and that they are a supplier of fruits and vegetables. It is most likely that they plan to extend their hand into the Yuncheng, right?"
"Hey, Yuncheng is something that anyone can enter whenever they want to? If the Dongchuan Agricultural Corporation wanted to push in their tentacles in a high-profile manner, wouldn't they be pushed out of the way by Chun Yang Corporation? No one in Chun Yang can touch Yuncheng anymore! "
"Speaking of which, he only has Linyi. We locals have never heard of him. If we can't sell it in the end, wouldn't we be the ones to lose? "
"It's not a loss at all. It's not good to earn less!"
"That's right, that's right …" "Shh, the door opened …"
The room in the hotel was very big, enough to fit three round tables. Zhang Yitian had also been prepared to come down for the sake of having more people, but there weren't many people present, causing the other two tables to be empty.
The moment the door was pushed open, a young man in his twenties walked in, looking quite pleased with himself.
Chu Fei walked to the side of the table and sat down, instead, he glanced around, and said: "This humble one thanks everyone in the Yuncheng business for being able to appreciate the glory of being able to enjoy the busy hours, and for coming here to attend the feast, this is my honor, I am only representing myself, and Shennong Group, thank all of you!"
"Director Zhang, don't mention it!"
"That's right, you're too courteous!"
Chu Fei laughed: "Everyone, you have misunderstood, I am not Zhang Yitian, I am the Director of Shennong Group Market and Deputy General Manager of the Group Market!"
When Chu Fei said this, the faces of the people on the table immediately darkened.
"So he's not the boss, what's the big boss for!"
"You really do not put us in your eyes. We have come here to give you face. You actually dare to play with us. You truly do not know how to appreciate favors!"
"Interesting to tease others? This is your first time here at the Yuncheng, if you want to enter, you have to rely on us, you really don't know how to do business! "
Chu Fei did not show any displeasure, and laughed: "Please forgive me, my Director Zhang originally planned to go, but we have some things to attend to at the moment, on the road, please forgive us …"
Chu Fei raised his wine cup and said: "How about this, I'll punish myself with a cup, and compensate you with this …"
Everyone looked at each other, no one attached any importance to Chu Fei.
At this time, in the room next door, Zhang Yitian was staring at the screen in front of him, watching everyone's actions.
He wasn't delayed because he had something on his mind. The only reason he didn't appear immediately was because he wanted to see these people in advance.
It was impossible to tell what kind of people these people were, because they were all disguising themselves.
But Zhang Yitian used a little trick on them and easily took off their disguise.
If they felt slighted, these people would definitely reveal their true nature. This was what Zhang Yitian wanted to see.
What he lacked was not a dealer, but someone who could work with him. Someone who could trust him was far more useful than someone who could sell him products.
Often, these kinds of people had one thing in common, and that was not to underestimate or underestimate others.
After looking for a while, Zhang Yitian felt that he had found the right person, because this person had the same attitude towards Chu Fei.
This kind of person was hard to come by, although he did not seem to have a big career, or perhaps it was not very smooth.
Zhang Yitian picked up his jacket, got up and walked towards the neighboring room. Pushing the door open, the solemn look on his face was replaced with a smile.
"Aiyaya, everyone, I've been waiting for a long time. I've taken care of some matters and I've just returned. Please forgive me!"
Zhang Yitian apologized loudly one after another the moment he entered the room. Everyone looked towards the door when they heard the noise, and a look of disbelief hung on their faces.
Some people even muttered to themselves, "This …" So young? "
"Don't tell me he's working again?"
Upon entering the room, Chu Fei hurriedly stood up and said: "Everyone, this is the chairman of our Shennong Group, Mr. Zhang Yitian!"
"Aiyo?" Really? Wasn't this company worth tens of millions? The boss is only this big? "
"A fuerdai, right? Take over my shift? "
Everyone were whispering, but with Zhang Yitian's hearing, he could still hear them clearly. However, he still smiled at this.
The moment Zhang Yitian sat down, someone immediately started to make a move: "Oh, the Director Zhang is really busy, you really made us wait!"
The person who spoke was the CEO of the Yuncheng's biggest fruit and vegetable chain company, Heavenly Treasure Agriculture, Zhang Tianbao.
The Zhang Family could be considered a family business. Zhang Tianbao's father initially only operated a small fruit store, but after working hard for more than 20 years, he managed a large company with annual sales of close to 3 million yuan.
And once the company fell into Zhang Tianbao's hands, in a short span of five years, the size of the company expanded from five chains of stores all the way to more than twenty.
The reason why Zhang Tianbao dared to denounce Zhang Yitian directly was naturally because of the strength at his hands.
Zhang Tianbao was naturally very clear who held the initiative. If Zhang Yitian wanted to advance into the Yuncheng, there was no way he could avoid it.
Zhang Yitian did not come empty-handed. Before he came, he had actually already understood these people who had sent out the invitation letters.
And Zhang Tianbao was one of the key figures, it was even more impossible that Zhang Yitian didn't recognize him.
Zhang Yitian laughed and quickly apologized: "Director Zhang, please forgive us. Our Shennong Group belongs to a monk from a foreign land, and since we have just arrived, we still have a lot of things to take care of.
"What if I don't?" Zhang Tianbao looked at Zhang Yitian coldly, and said, "Director Zhang, I don't know where this Shennong Group of yours comes from, and I don't want to know either. But what I do know is that on the ground of the Yuncheng, as long as you want to eat this food that is made from fruits and vegetables, you can't avoid our Tianbao Agricultural Corporation, and even more so, you can't afford to offend us!"
Zhang Tianbao laughed and said: "Zhang Yitian, since you want to enter this Yuncheng realm, you dare to put my, Zhang Tianbao's, pigeons on the ground, don't you think that you're a little … You don't want some face?
I have already given you enough face by coming here today. Therefore, your actions made me very angry.
Actually, I wanted to talk about cooperation with you, but now it seems that there is no need! Your Shennong Group, doesn't need to enter any Yuncheng at all! "
This Zhang Tianbao was really direct, after he said those words, everyone was startled, after all, it was truly hard for people to accept saying all these words.
However, Zhang Yitian appeared to be very calm. He even smiled, and said: "Boss Zhang, you can't decide where your Shennong Group is!"
