Chen Fan quickly absorbed the medicinal properties of the pill.
He sighed again. To advance from the Grandmaster realm to the Great Grandmaster realm was, frankly, not easy!
It seemed he would need many aged, old medicines.
After pondering for a while, feeling tired, he went to rest.
Meanwhile, the five major distributors of Xu Family's Yipinhuang gathered for a secret meeting.
Among them, the leader was a bald man named Qiao Si, one of Xu Family's Yipinhuang distributors, holding thirty percent of the market share, making him the largest distributor. He spoke, "I believe there's no need to elaborate on why I've called you all here today!"
The people present all nodded.
Affirmatively.
"No need, just get straight to it!"
"Exactly!"
"Old Qiao, why be polite with us? Say whatever you want!"
"Speak plainly!"
Qiao Si nodded, a smile on his face. "Good, it's reassuring to hear you say that! However, before I speak, I must confirm that you are all on the same page as me. If not, then I apologize, but please leave this meeting immediately!"
"Old Qiao, how many years have we worked together? Don't you trust us?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"That's right!"
"If you don't trust us, we'll be upset!"
Qiao Si nodded. "That being said, it's still best to address the unpleasant matters upfront, don't you agree?"
"Yes, this way, we all benefit. No problem!"
"Precisely!"
"Alright, since none of you have any objections, let's begin!" Qiao Si said with a smile, waving his hand.
"Great!!!"
The four people beside him responded in unison, nodding with smiles.
Qiao Si continued, "Recently, Bingqing Cosmetics has become very popular, and they are now planning to enter the southern market. I'd like to hear all of your thoughts on this!"
"Share whatever ideas you have!"
Huang Xing, seated beside him, said, "Bingqing Cosmetics' products have caused a stir online, receiving many positive reviews. Their momentum has directly surpassed Xu Family's Yipinhuang. If we can become distributors for Bingqing Cosmetics' products, we will surely gain substantial profits!"
"Moreover, from the current situation, it appears Bingqing Cosmetics and the Xu Family are in a full-blown conflict. I believe we can find a way to seek distribution rights!"
"But we recently promised Miss Xu that we wouldn't allow Bingqing Cosmetics' products in..." a man named Gao Qiang said slowly. "If we let Bingqing Cosmetics in at this juncture, the consequences could be dire. After all, the Xu Family is a premier family in Lingnan!"
Qiao Si snorted, "Everyone, don't forget that our families are equally prominent. Why should we always be subordinate to them? Furthermore, we are businessmen, and businessmen aim for maximum profit. Yipinhuang is clearly on the decline now, so why continue to be entangled with them?"
"An alternative like Bingqing Cosmetics, to be honest, is worth having!"
"My proposal is to secretly cooperate with Bingqing Cosmetics behind the scenes. Once the matter is revealed, we can then make our intentions known. What do you think?"
The people present felt that what Qiao Si said was very reasonable.
Thus, without any further roundabout pleasantries, they agreed.
"In that case, the five of us will travel to Lincheng the day after tomorrow to finalize the cooperation details!" Qiao Si said after thinking.
"Okay, no problem!"
Thus, the five reached a consensus, planning a scheme to undermine Xu Lili.
