Twenty years of cold chain

As the fish in Panzhu began to move, Tongxing was also working diligently to launch various projects.

This was the smallest morning meeting Tongxing had ever held since its establishment, with only six people in total. Su Mu sat to Hu Shutong's right, while the person sitting to Hu Shutong's left was named Chu Lihe.

This was someone Hu Shutong personally recruited. Chu Lihe was a 99 graduate of Qinghai University. After graduating in 03, he worked in planning for more than two years, providing technical support and operation management for industrial parks in Qinghai and Ningxia provinces. Hu Shutong had seen his thesis and his experience in industrial parks and knew he was someone with a deep understanding of cold chain systems.

Chu Lihe was composed and refined, but even after get off work, he seemed somewhat reserved in his interactions with others, let alone in the conference room. Whether it was due to his personality or not, he was a very restrained person.

Su Mu spoke first, "President Hu, the market for this batch of national reserve meat has been determined. It will be concentrated in the pork markets of Qingyan and the four surrounding cities. I will arrange a special national reserve meat transportation team for distribution."

Hu Shutong nodded. "Has the bidding process for the next round of national meat reserves been completed?"

"The order has already been issued, but according to your instructions, Tongxing will not participate this time, so I haven't done any specific research. I imagine the competition will be fierce."

Hu Shutong paused for a moment, "This time, we will still have to compete for the national reserve meat, and we will have to put in even more effort than before. We need to carefully study which competitors we will face and develop targeted strategies. I hope there will be no second round and that Tongxing will achieve a great victory."

"This..." Su Mu looked on in surprise. He had just received clear instructions to give up the national meat reserves not long ago. How could they change their minds so quickly? Moreover, everyone in Tongxing knew that the national meat reserves were like a weight on Tongxing, which could not be moved or touched. Giving them to other cold storage meat merchants would be more beneficial to Tongxing's development.

"Just do as I say. I saw the bidding for the national reserve meat last time. A big reason why we won the bid was that we didn't have any real competitors. Now, many cold storage meat merchants have recovered, and there are quite a few people eyeing the national reserve meat. Tongxing must win this piece of meat."

For a moment, the conference room fell silent, as people noticed that Mr. Hu's tone was different from before. Although his tone was still calm, anyone could sense a hidden, intense emotion; one could even say it was a pent-up anger.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu. We have experience in this area of ​​bidding and presentation. I'll bring the team from last time, and we'll definitely win this bid!"

Seeing such clear evidence, people's thoughts were stirred, and they became even more convinced of some of their previous ideas. Under the instilling of this strong will, Tongxing was going to launch a full-scale frontal attack!

Essentially, this is similar to going deep into the fields to harvest vegetables. What Hu Shutong wants to do is "break into the base" and seek a foothold from the source of meat products!

If they truly secure the deal, the future will be bright, but this turmoil will bring unprecedented pressure to Tongxing. Because on this Qingyan land, national reserve meat is a different story; Tongxing has never really had anything to do with meat products. But it must be said that Tongxing's lack of involvement in this area will always make some people feel it's not quite there yet.

"Lihe, are you confident in doing this?"

Chu Lihe did not express his opinion directly. He was naturally familiar with Tongxing's advantages, but he was from one of the five counties in the north of the city. In some situations, no one would listen to your technical skills, and even making a connection would be difficult.

"I've already spoken to Li Shenglong about some things, and there's definitely room for us to discuss them together."

Upon hearing this, Chu Lihe immediately nodded and spoke in a formal and serious manner, "President Hu, I believe that when promoting Tongxing Primary Processing to these breeding bases, we should start with the profit calculations for transportation, etc. As for computer process demonstrations and the like, they are not even necessary."

"Do it your way, make a presentation plan, and let me take a look at it first."

"clear."

Hu Shutong looked at everyone, his expression changing from his usual gentle and slow demeanor, his eyes revealing a sharp edge. "Everyone needs to understand one thing: Tongxing will fight for the meat as much as possible. This is the most important thing right now."

The entire meeting revolved around meat, and people realized that Hu Shutong was at odds with meat. This time, his emotions were unlike anything he had ever shown before, which made everyone think carefully.

"Everyone, when promoting Tongxing's primary processing system, we shouldn't always emphasize the assembly line of a single workshop. The first, second, and third-tier supply chain is Tongxing's largest assembly line. At no time should we focus on one aspect of Tongxing. Our advantage lies in our operations and efficiency. Only when everyone keeps this in mind can we effectively communicate this to everyone at Tongxing. The same principle applies to this matter concerning meat."

People nodded in agreement, and Hu Shutong, having grasped much of what was being said, adjourned the meeting.

At certain times late at night, Hu Shutong noticed a significant change in himself. He realized he was gradually losing the patience he once had, the patience he had during Tongxing's first and second years. He had even lost his composure, his heart sometimes burning with agitation. The incident with the Meat Products Association had completely ignited this agitation.

In the past, selling state-reserved pork, which wasn't profitable at all, would have been a win-win situation – a good sale and a way to relieve financial pressure. But now, he believes that competition is the key. Moreover, at this critical juncture, withdrawing from the state-reserved pork program would be tantamount to showing weakness.

The scary part of the problem isn't showing weakness, but that if you back down, the other party will say, "If you stick to your guns, you're a real man," putting you in an even more disadvantageous position.

If that's the case, why doesn't Tongxing be a little more courageous!
