Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

With the summer harvest and planting season over, Fang Wei's daily routine has returned to normal.

In the past few days, he sent Yang Feng to Tiannan to inspect the construction progress of the Tiannan Oil Pressing Plant on his behalf.

"Chairman, the construction of the Tiannan Oil Mill is nearing completion and will be operational by next month at the latest. The Yuxiang No. 2 variety cultivated at the Tiannan base is known for its high yields, and the corn planted previously has also met the planned targets."

The smooth construction of Tiannan Oil Pressing Plant was expected, but Fang Wei was most pleased with the large-scale successful cultivation of [Yuxiang No. 2].

With a large quantity of [Yu Xiang No. 2] seeds available, it's estimated that New Kaiqi's new corn seeds will have to take a backseat again.

Yang Feng also had a smile on his face. After reporting his work, he stood aside and waited.

"Assistant Yang, your trip was definitely worthwhile."

As Fang Wei spoke, he pointed to the sofa, gesturing for Yang Feng to sit down first.

He then called Lin Bingkun to ask when he planned to launch "Yuxiang No. 2" to the market.

“Secretary, I’ve already inquired and found out that Xin Kaiqi’s corn seeds have already started to be distributed. I’ll wait a bit until they’ve fully rolled out their products, and then my Yuxiang No. 2 will be available for sale.”

Lin Bingkun already knew the good news about the expected bumper harvest of the [Yuxiang No. 2] seeds, but he did not plan to put them on the market immediately. Instead, he wanted to wait for the new Kaiqi corn seeds to be available on the market first.

Needless to say, he was prepared to catch the other side off guard.

Xinkaiqi lacks strong R&D capabilities, and the corn seeds it produces are authorized by its parent company. Its products are slightly inferior to "Yuxiang No. 1" in overall performance and are completely incomparable to "Yuxiang No. 2".

“That works too. Let’s teach the new Cage a lesson. Who told them to try and outdo us in everything these past two years?”

Xin Kaiqi is Yaoling Agriculture's old rival. The other party has no bottom line in its actions and has only become more restrained after suffering several major losses.

Therefore, Fang Wei had no good feelings towards this company and was happy for Lin Bingkun to teach them a lesson.

Once the other side has fully spread their corn seeds, Lin Bingkun will suddenly unleash his power, and they will definitely suffer a crushing defeat.

A week later.

【Yu Xiang No. 2】suddenly went on sale and was accompanied by a strong promotional campaign.

Given Yaoling Agriculture's long-standing good reputation, [Yuxiang No. 2] was highly sought after as soon as it hit the market, causing a sharp drop in sales of Xinkaiqi's corn seeds.

After all, the difference between the two is too obvious. In terms of both yield and quality, Yuxiang No. 2 completely crushes Xinkaiqi's corn seeds.

This is an asymmetrical competition, a one-sided "massacre".

New Cage was completely stunned. By the time the other side recovered, their corn seeds had already lost 40% of the market share.

For Yao Agriculture, this resounding victory has turned Xin Kaiqi's corn seeds from market favorites to complete obscurity in just half a month.

Lin Bingkun and others finally got their revenge, and Yaoling Agriculture officially announced that it would start selling rice seeds and other crop seeds from that day forward.

Fang Wei was also very happy. He wondered if New Cage and its parent company would be able to develop even better varieties in the future.

However, he has not let his guard down and is already preparing to develop the next generation of hybrid corn.

Next, the Tiannan corn planting base will completely switch to planting the "Yuxiang No. 2" corn variety.

With the commissioning of the Tiannan Oil Pressing Plant, a steady stream of corn oil is being pressed out, then packaged and sent to the market for sale.

With this, Yaoling Group has completed its layout in the edible oil industry, with its main products being rapeseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, and camellia oil.

"Chairman, since the establishment of the sales company, we have quickly integrated the national sales network. Currently, our edible oil production and sales are booming and it is very popular with consumers."

morning.

Yang Feng walked into Fang Wei's office with a statistical report in his hand.

He gave a brief report first, and then placed the report on Fang Wei's desk.

Fang Wei picked it up and examined it carefully. He couldn't help but nod and said, "Not bad. The new factory has quickly ramped up its production capacity, and the sales company is also making every effort to promote it. The situation is very promising."

"Yes, our production is definitely not a problem, and the sales company is also very supportive. We have finally secured a place in the edible oil market."

Yaoling brand cooking oil snatched a portion of the market from the jaws of giants.

Yang Feng expressed his deep admiration. He had always believed that sales was a weakness of the company, but who would have thought that the sales company led by Yu Hao would be so powerful.

"Now is not the time to be complacent. Assistant Yang, keep a close eye on things lately, and keep in touch with General Manager Yu as often as possible. You must report any problems with the sales company to me, understand?"

Fang Wei quickly calmed down. Yaoling brand cooking oil only accounted for 12% of the market share, which was still far from the 20% to 25% share he had in mind.

Dominating the market is unrealistic; achieving a 20% to 25% market share would be a huge victory.

"Chairman, this time we've become a thorn in their side, and the pressure we face will only increase in the future."

In his excitement, Yang Feng didn't forget to remind Fang Wei of something.

The giants launched a massive edible oil war, investing considerable sums of money, only to have Yaoling Group reap the rewards. They certainly won't let this go, and it's predictable that they'll target Yaoling brand edible oil relentlessly in the future.

"It doesn't matter, we are natural enemies anyway."

Fang Wei saw things clearly. If the giants wanted to monopolize the edible oil market, then any domestic company that posed a threat to them would be their opponent, and they certainly wouldn't let such a company go.

Yaoling Agriculture brand cooking oil is now a threat to the giants.

He wasn't afraid to compete with the giants at all; Yaoling Group had more confidence than most people imagined. Once the production bases for several major oilseed crops were completed, no one could compete with Yaoling brand edible oil based solely on financial advantages.

The other side has missed the best opportunity, and now they are powerless to do anything.

"Chairman, there's one more thing. Mr. Deng from the logistics company called and he'll be coming to see you this afternoon."

After saying the last thing, Yang Feng turned and left the office.

Fang Wei didn't know what Deng Yuanen wanted to talk to her about. Normally, if it was about logistics company work, the other party should have communicated with Hu Linwei first.

However, he didn't think much of it and went home for lunch after working until noon.

in the afternoon.

Deng Yuanen walked into Fang Wei's office right at the start of his workday.

"Third brother, long time no see."

“Yuan En, come, come, sit down first, let’s have a good chat.”

Fang Wei still treats her childhood friend with the same enthusiasm as before.

Then Secretary Du brought over some tea. He sat down next to the other person and asked while drinking the tea, "How have you been lately?"

"I'm still the same as always, which is fine. However, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed at work lately. Unlike those intellectuals who are quick-witted, I tend to think things more slowly."

Deng Yuanen organized his thoughts and explained his predicament.

He wasn't well-educated, but he used to lead the transportation company to good success. However, since the company shifted to the logistics sector, he has found it increasingly difficult to do many things.

Moreover, the group company has assigned him a strong deputy who is a college graduate and quite familiar with the logistics field, so he's having a tough time now.

"Yuan En, the logistics industry has its own unique characteristics and higher requirements for management. If you're unhappy working at the company, I can transfer you to the group company. What do you say?"

This matter cannot be blamed on Deng Yuanen, nor on Hu Linwei.

Deng Yuanen is a conscientious and responsible worker who once led the transportation company to great success. However, he lacks experience in the new business model of logistics companies and his strategic vision is insufficient, which is why he has appeared hesitant and timid in the past two years.

Hu Linwei wanted the logistics company to expand rapidly, and Deng Yuanen clearly did not meet his requirements. That's why Deng Yuanen's deputy controlled most of the power in the logistics company.

Fang Wei originally planned to deal with this matter after the autumn harvest, but since Deng Yuanen took the initiative to come to him, he simply made his point clear.

"Third Brother, I know I'm not capable enough, and I don't hold a grudge against anyone. It's just that the company has come a long way, and I don't want to leave the logistics company."

Here's what I'm thinking: it's really not suitable for me to continue serving as the general manager of the logistics company. Could you let me stay? I'd be willing to take on a vice president or department manager position.

Deng Yuanen's words left Fang Wei silent for a long time.

It's clear that Deng Yuanen truly loves this company. The logistics company was originally a transportation company, and he led his drivers all over the country to establish a foothold.

The company has grown and expanded, but it can no longer keep up with the demands of business development.

"Yuan En, are you really willing to hand over the position of general manager?"

In fact, it is very difficult for most people to step down from the position of general manager and become a subordinate of their former deputy.

But Deng Yuanen was willing to do it anyway.

Of course, although Deng Yuanen doesn't have a high level of education, his years of experience are more than enough to make him a vice president. If he didn't have some skills, the logistics company wouldn't have grown to its current size.

From this point of view alone, Deng Yuanen was a great contributor to the logistics company.

"Yes, for the long-term development of the company, I am willing to take a step back."

Deng Yuanen wasn't acting out of spite; he had his own considerations.

Having come this far, Fang Wei had nothing more to say but to respect the other party's choice.

"Yuan En, thank you for your contributions to the company over the years. I fully support your willingness to serve as the deputy general manager, and I can agree to it right now."

Listen to me, if you ever suffer any injustice or decide you don't want to work for the logistics company anymore, you must tell me. I will never allow anyone to trample on you; you will definitely have a place in the group company.

Fang Wei made two promises to Deng Yuanen: one was that he would not let anyone bully him, and the other was that he could arrange a good position for him in the group company.

This is what they deserve. (End of Chapter)
