Chapter 342 Happy cooperation
Gu Qi suddenly felt that Lin Ning was not as timid and indecisive as he had imagined.
Chang Ningchen said to Gu Qi: "It's tiring for you to work alone, I'll help you."
Gu Qi looked at Lin Ning with great suspicion. As long as he didn't make trouble, he would be helping him.
Noticing the man's doubts about his abilities, Chang Ningchen angrily said, "Don't underestimate me! I'll be your assistant for the whole year. If I'm not capable enough, I'll go back to playing with cats and never step foot upstairs again!"
Gu Qi looked at Lin Ning with a determined look and decided to trust him once, and then the two shook hands and became allies.
In the evening, Jiang Xiaotian planned to ask Chang Ningchen to go out and play, but Chang Ningchen, who was working on a plan, refused. He said on the phone, "I'm sorry, I'm still busy."
Jiang Xiaotian asked curiously, "What is Xiao Ning busy with? If it's work, isn't Gu Qi also involved?"
Chang Ningchen replied while typing away, "Our company has a competitor. A guy named Gu Chenghao is saying he wants to bankrupt our Lin family company."
"Is it the Gu Group? They're not that powerful of a group." Jiang Xiaotian hung up the phone quickly.
After staying up late to finish writing the plan, Chang Ningchen packed up and went to find Gu Qi the next day, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaotian at the door. He said, "Don't worry, Xiao Ning, the Gu family will soon be ruined."
After a while, Wu Jian also drove over, then took Chang Ningchen and said, "If you dare to bankrupt the Lin family, then be prepared to go bankrupt yourself!"
Chang Ningchen looked at the two people with a frown on his face. With the Jiang and Wu families taking action, the Gu family would indeed be in trouble. Wouldn't the plan he wrote all night long be in vain?
Chang Ningchen said angrily, "You don't need to do this. I will bankrupt it with my own ability. And since you two have so much free time, why don't you just be together? I saw you kissing outside last time."
Chang Ningchen's words made Jiang Xiaotian and Wu Jian blush. Jiang Xiaotian stammered, "I don't like this guy! I accidentally fell last time!"
Wu Jian blushed and said, "This guy is disgusting! I accidentally fell last time too!"
Chang Ningchen blinked and said, "I watched for several seconds, you two were indeed kissing!"
Jiang Xiaotian and Wu Jian were instantly furious. The quarrel turned into a fight, and then they ended up fighting in a ball.
Chang Ningchen looked at the resentful couple, shook his head, and went to the place where he had made an appointment with Gu Qi. When he arrived, Gu Qi was already waiting for him.
Gu Qi saw that Chang Ningchen's face didn't look good, but he looked very excited. Coupled with the plan in his arms, the man knew that he was very serious about this matter.
Chang Ningchen did not tell him that Jiang Xiaotian and Wu Jian wanted to bankrupt the Gu family. Even if the Gu family was gone, there would be other opponents. The current adjustment was for future life!
He also planned how to support Dongfang He if he fell into poverty in the future.
You have to know that after so many worlds, Chang Ningchen is no longer a rookie in the business world. He knows many tricks and is a business veteran who is no less than Mr. Lin. Moreover, he has a very long-term vision to understand the development of the future world. After all, he came from a later world.
He can take care of everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment, and make everyone accept it in a relatively reasonable way. Investing in real estate is a certainty.
Since the Lin family made their fortune in beverages, Chang Ningchen wanted to get into the physical milk tea business which was quite popular in those years, or else he could get into the physical catering business as chicken chops were also quite popular... Chang Ningchen listed all the industries that were popular in later generations.
Gu Qi read page after page. He read slowly and carefully, but the man looked regretful at every page and then shook his head and turned to the next page.
Chang Ningchen felt very strange and asked, "Isn't a physical milk tea shop good?"
Gu Qi replied: "People are not very well-off nowadays and are reluctant to drink. In addition, physical stores still have high demands for social stability. If the supply is cut off or customers don't like it, these stores will be easily affected."
Chang Ningchen thought about the state before the epidemic when everyone had some money and some leisure time, so the milk tea shop business was naturally good. The business was bad during the epidemic. After the epidemic, everyone had no money and fewer people drank. It was indeed difficult for physical stores to resist emergencies.
Then he asked, "How about the chicken cutlet snack?"
Gu Qi shook his head and said, "To lower the price, we must have a lot of inventory. Our Lin family company doesn't have such channels. If the price is too high, no one will want to buy it, and the product will not be competitive..."
It seems that the chicken chop shop has its own food factory. Because they have too much inventory backlog, they open a store to sell it at a low price. They really have no advantage in this regard.
Chang Ningchen asked again: "How about self-heating hot pot? We don't need to open a physical store for this."
Gu Qi shook his head and said, "The cost is too high, and the food in this box is only half full, so it's not enough to fill me up."
Chang Ningchen felt that what Gu Qi said was right. He was indeed not full. It seemed that his plan was useless.
Gu Qi flipped all the way to the last page, then stopped. He said to Chang Ningchen, "This pre-made dish is quite creative."
Chang Ningchen shook his head and said, "But everyone thinks it's unhealthy and might be very opposed to it."
Gu Qi said: "The loud opposition must have affected the interests of others. Kenji, self-heating hot pot and most convenience foods are considered pre-prepared meals. Just like a hamburger, it looks like healthy food when you break it down, with pasta, meat, cheese and vegetables, but when you put it together, it becomes junk food.
Our pre-prepared meals contain already cooked dishes that can be easily eaten after being heated up, saving people time in cooking. Moreover, if we can operate on a large scale, the price can be kept very low, making them good value for money.”
Chang Ningchen nodded, touching his chin and saying, "With no need for a physical store and a wide variety of pre-made ingredients, there will definitely be people who buy it because it's convenient and cheap!"
Gu Qi also thought it was a good idea. If they could ensure quality and taste, they wouldn't have to worry about not having customers. After all, everyone liked to eat hot and delicious food right after get off work. He also knew that many restaurants in later generations also liked pre-prepared meals.
With a direction to move forward, Chang Ningchen and Gu Qi became busy. Chang Ningchen was responsible for finding chefs to write recipes and factories to produce convenience foods, while Gu Qi was responsible for finding suppliers and companies with good storage technology.
During this period, Jiang Xiaotian and Wu Jian would always appear to find Chang Ningchen, but the two would always quarrel and fight. Fortunately, Chang Ningchen got reliable companies from Jiang Xiaotian and Wu Jian.
Although these two people are unreliable, they have extensive connections and know reliable companies. In addition to the status of the Jiang and Wu families, Chang Ningchen used them as a lead and quickly won the cooperation of these companies.
After Gu Qi watched the young man proudly hand him the contract, he felt that he had underestimated him before.
