Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

After listening to Zhou Liren's words, Lu Yuan got up, went to the window, looked at the production workshop not far away, and glanced at the office building of Puhui Company next door out of the corner of his eye. In less than a minute, Lu Yuan spoke directly to Zhou Liren: "Director Zhou, don't worry about this matter. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If the situation you described really occurs during the sales process, I will find a way to solve it."

Losing money?

Haha, this might actually be a good publicity opportunity for a small company like theirs that has just been established.

As for whether it's profitable or not, Lu Yuan had already prepared himself not to make a single penny in the early stages before deciding to enter this industry.

In the beginning, as long as he can establish himself in this industry and make a name for himself, how much money he wants to earn later depends on his appetite. If he has a big appetite, given his understanding of future trends, he is absolutely confident that he can stand at the top of the industry pyramid.

Although Zhou Liren didn't know how Lu Yuan would handle this situation, he felt much more at ease after seeing the confident smile on Lu Yuan's face.

He had already told Lu Yuan what he needed to say. As for how Lu Yuan would deal with any problems that might arise later, that was beyond his control as a human resources director.

Time flew by and the next day arrived.

Since it was a small company opening, Lu Yuan didn't invite too many people to the opening ceremony.

After all, as a boss worth hundreds of millions, investing in a company worth only a few million felt a bit embarrassing. Not many of his own friends came, but quite a few of his peers from Huaqiangbei showed up to support him. Even the owners of dozens of nearby electronics manufacturing companies who couldn't attend in person sent flower baskets through their company vice presidents. Regardless of the underhanded competition and sabotage, at least on the surface, things were still going well.

After a busy day, Lu Yuan, slightly drunk, returned to his office with his second, third, and sixth brothers after greeting the guests who came to celebrate in the afternoon.

After the three men contacted each other by phone and briefly summarized the sales data from their respective shops in the city and other areas, the usually composed third brother couldn't help but laugh with delight, saying, "Brother Lu, it worked! Haha, I knew that investing with you would make money no matter what we did. Do you know how many phones we sold today?"

Looking at the excited expression on his third brother's face, Lu Yuan had already guessed what was going on: "Have all one thousand units been sold?"

The third brother nodded, laughing loudly, "Haha, I didn't expect our phones to sell so well. It looks like the remaining two production lines are all running."

Lu Yuan wasn't as excited as the third brother. He had already started making plans in his mind. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table. After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan said to the sixth brother, "Sixth brother, go and tell Director Zhou and Director Lu that for the next two days, we need to control production and keep the number at five hundred units per day."

The sixth brother looked slightly bewildered and asked, "Brother Lu, are you kidding me? Our phone sales are so good, a thousand phones sold out in a day, why do we need to control production? I think what Third Brother said makes sense. Let's run the remaining two production lines, that way we can produce at least two thousand phones a day..."

Seeing the expression on Lu Yuan's face, the second brother vaguely guessed what was going on. He took a puff of his cigarette and stepped forward, saying directly, "Little Six, listen to Brother Lu first. Since Brother Lu told you to inform them like this, just do as Brother Lu says."

After spinning around twice, Lao Liu turned and left with a sense of helplessness.

Lu Yuan then turned his gaze to his second brother's face. "Second brother, you've been in Shenzhen for quite a while and know a lot of people. I'd like to arrange something for you."

The second son asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan curled the corners of his lips into a seemingly malicious smile. "Come here, I'll talk to you alone."

The second brother approached Lu Yuan, and after listening to Lu Yuan's words, he stood there with his mouth slightly agape, unable to process what he had just said. When he finally came to his senses, he asked, somewhat bewildered, "Brother Lu, isn't what we're doing a bit too much?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said without hesitation, "What's wrong? Do you think we've been a bit too despicable?"

The second brother scratched his head and said, "Yeah, you know, if our sales weren't good, it wouldn't be a problem to use this method to compete with our rivals. After all, in business, we've had even more ruthless methods used against us before. But right now, our phone sales are so good, if we do something like this again, it's a bit..."

Before the second brother could finish speaking, Lu Yuan interrupted him, saying clearly and deliberately, "You may not know this, but they've already made their move against us. The reason I'm asking you to do this is simply to retaliate in kind."

The second brother suddenly widened his eyes. "What? They've already made a move against us? That can't be! Wait, Brother Lu, do you mean that these thousand phones today are most likely..."

Lu Yuan nodded, giving the second brother a look that said, "Think about it yourself." The second brother clenched his fist, spun around twice, and then said firmly, "Okay, since that's the case, then I have no more worries. Brother Lu, leave this matter to me."

Lu Yuan said frankly, "Okay, you go ahead and do it. If you need more money, just let me know."

The second brother grinned and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, I'm not short of money when it comes to this kind of thing."

After the second brother left, the third brother said with a half-smile, "Brother Lu, what did you say to the second brother?"

Lu Yuan let out a hearty laugh and said to his third brother, "Hehe, third brother, just wait and see the show. But you can't be idle either. Tomorrow, contact Xu Xinjie, the reporter from Shenzhen Evening News, as soon as possible. Didn't she do a report for us before? After you get in touch with her, bring her to see me. Also, go to the bank first thing tomorrow morning and make an appointment in advance to withdraw six million in cash directly from this card of mine."

After you withdraw the cash, please keep it safe for now. I'll call you when I need it, and you can bring it to me immediately.

Although the third brother was resourceful, he was still a little confused by Lu Yuan's actions.

"Brother Lu, why are you suddenly withdrawing so much money? Don't we already have several million in cash flow? It's not safe to keep this much money."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be very useful in the next few days."

The third, second, and sixth brothers were all the same. Although they were all confused about Lu Yuan's instructions, they did not question them and carried them out one by one.

When only Lu Yuan remained in the office, a victor's smile appeared on his face. He turned on the stereo next to him, and as the Symphony of Fate began to play, he closed his eyes and became completely immersed in the beauty of the music.
