Don't worry, mother, I've brought the golden finger to change your fate

Chapter 166 The Winds of Change

A few months after Lin Ruowei resolutely implemented the reform measures, the family business's supply chain and quality control system were completely renewed. Although this process was accompanied by pain, especially when some long-term suppliers with substandard quality were eliminated, the company once faced the dual test of cost pressure and market fluctuations. However, with the introduction of new suppliers and the acceleration of technological innovation, the company gradually regained stability and began to regain the trust of customers in the global market.

On this day, Lin Ruowei was processing documents in the office when her secretary came in and informed her: "Ms. Ruowei, a representative from a new supplier is visiting this afternoon. They hope to meet with you directly to discuss future cooperation."

Lin Ruowei put down the work in her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, arrange for them to come in the afternoon."

In the afternoon, the representative of the new supplier arrived on time. He was a middle-aged man named Li Wenhui. As the head of a technologically advanced materials company, Li Wenhui was quite prestigious in the industry. His company was famous for its high-quality environmentally friendly materials and had a good reputation in the industry.

"Ms. Lin, I've heard a lot about you." Li Wenhui smiled and extended his hand. "I'm glad to have the opportunity to cooperate with your company."

Lin Ruowei politely shook his hand and responded with a smile: "Mr. Li, we have heard about your company's leading position in the field of environmentally friendly materials. We look forward to the opportunity to cooperate with you."

After both parties sat down, Li Wenhui got straight to the point: "Ms. Lin, we are deeply impressed by the reform measures of your company. I believe that our company's material technology can help your company further improve the quality and environmental performance of its products. Especially in the field of smart devices, our materials can effectively improve energy efficiency and durability."

Lin Ruowei nodded, showing great interest: "You make a lot of sense. We are looking for more innovative material suppliers to improve the sustainability and market competitiveness of our products. Can you introduce your company's specific technology?"

Li Wenhui quickly opened his notebook and showed the company's latest technological achievements: "This is our latest developed nanomaterial, which is not only stable in more extreme environments, but also has strong corrosion resistance and environmental protection characteristics. We have applied this technology in many projects, and the effect is remarkable."

Lin Ruowei carefully checked the technical details and showed a satisfied look on her face: "Mr. Li, this technology is very suitable for our needs. I think this will be a win-win cooperation."

Li Wenhui smiled and continued, "Ms. Lin, to be honest, your company's current reforms have given confidence to many companies in the industry. We also believe that cooperating with you is not just a business transaction, but also an opportunity to jointly promote the progress of the industry."

The two sides quickly finalized the initial cooperation intention. Li Wenhui's company will become the new material supplier of the family business, and the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the research and development and production of environmentally friendly intelligent equipment. After the meeting, Lin Ruowei was very satisfied with this new cooperation, and she believed that it would bring great impetus to the product improvement of the family business.

After Li Wenhui left, Lin Ruowei's cousin Lin Qingyuan walked into the office with a report and a serious expression.

"Weiwei, we have encountered some problems in expanding our market in Europe." Lin Qingyuan said directly, "The local government has recently introduced some new environmental regulations, requiring all related products to meet more stringent environmental standards. Our existing products may not be able to fully meet the standards in the short term."

Lin Ruowei frowned and responded quickly: "What exactly do these new standards cover? How long will it take us to adjust the product line?"

Lin Qingyuan handed over the report and explained: "It is mainly about restrictions on harmful chemicals in products and further improvement of energy consumption standards. We expect it will take at least three to six months to adjust and certify the products. But during this period, our competitors may have already laid out products that meet the new standards and seized the market."

Lin Ruowei quickly glanced at the report, thought calmly and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. First, we must immediately launch the emergency plan of the R&D department and speed up the adjustment of the product line. At the same time, we must maintain close contact with the government and industry associations to gain more support and guidance. Secondly, the marketing department must increase the publicity of existing products to ensure that we still maintain our leading position in the market before the regulations come into effect."

Lin Qingyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately."

At this moment, the phone rang again, and the name displayed was Alan Scott. Lin Ruowei answered the call.

"Ms. Lin, I have important news to tell you." Alan's voice was anxious. "Our cooperation projects in North America may be affected. The local investment environment has changed, and the government is reviewing our projects, especially the approval process for environmental protection technologies."

Lin Ruowei frowned: "This is bad news, Allen. We have passed all the approvals before, why did problems suddenly arise?"

Allen explained: "After the change of government, new officials took office and they were skeptical of some of the previous environmental protection projects, believing that the investment was not proportional to the return. Therefore, our project was reviewed and the progress may be delayed."

Lin Ruowei pondered for a moment, then said: "We can't let this project be interrupted. I will arrange for the team to go to North America as soon as possible to communicate with the local government and seek more support. We must ensure the smooth progress of the project."

Allen agreed: "I will also use my resources to try to keep the project going."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruowei felt that the situation had become complicated again. Although the family business had achieved certain success in its global layout, various external factors continued to affect her plans.
