I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 20 Enemies
In the spacious and bright conference room, there is a huge long desk where four people sit in pairs.

A middle-aged foreign man in a white shirt and black pants, with his hair combed back neatly, had an angry look on his face.

"Maple Grove Outdoors, Anderson!"

Wei Lin's shoulders trembled with his eyes closed.

On the left side of the foreigner, there was a smartly dressed Chinese woman who looked tall even when she was sitting. She was also frowning and looking at the opposite side.

Tang Qiang was drinking his coffee leisurely, with a stack of A4 papers on the table in front of him. He looked at the foreigner and the capable woman leisurely.

He was just over forty years old, and due to long-term exercise, he had a strong physique. His chest muscles and arms were so strong that the custom-made shirts were bulging.

"Mr. Anderson, we're not kidding. The unit price for this order is 12."

"You're asking for it too urgently. We have so many orders on hand that we're really overwhelmed. We'll take this order, and the workers in the factory will have to work overtime. You know our overtime pay is very expensive."

Tang Qiang looked very embarrassed.

The Chinese woman next to the foreigner looked coldly at Tang Qiang who was making excuses, and couldn't help but snort.

As Anderson's assistant, she had done detailed homework before coming here. She knew that with the scale and output value of Qifeng Hat Industry, a 60 order was nothing.

——The other party just raised the price temporarily!
"Don, are you serious?"

Anderson suppressed his anger and asked one last question in fluent Chinese.

The head office recently spent a lot of money on a massive promotion, and the results were surprisingly good. Not only were the clothes and shoes selling well, but even the hats were in short supply.

Fenglin has its own factories for clothing and shoes, and has sufficient stocks of goods in advance.

The only thing Fenglin does not have is small accessories such as hats, so it can only choose to outsource the production.

Qifeng Hat Industry in Linjiang City has always been their stable OEM manufacturer. In the past, the unit price of hats was 10 yuan, and an order could cost between and yuan, and the cycle was relatively long.

This time, their orders reached 60, and they would receive the goods within three months.

He originally thought that with such a large quantity, Qi Feng might be able to lower the unit price a bit, but he didn't expect that Tang Qiang not only did not lower it, but also raised the unit price directly to 12.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Anderson, there's nothing I can do."

Tang Qiang said helplessly.

The two sides parted ways unhappily.

"Boss Tang, this order won't be lost, right?"

Fan Lei from the business department asked worriedly after the foreigner and his assistant left.

"I can't fly away."

Tang Qiang twirled the pen in his hand and said calmly, "It will take three months to ship. Excluding the twenty-odd days of sea transportation, it will only take a little over two months in total."

"Except for our Qifeng, no local hat company can take over. Several large factories outside the area have been quite busy recently, and I've even spoken with them."

"Also, Fenglin has always had high standards for quality, and we haven't had any precedent for collaborating with small factories yet."

"Well, in a nutshell: small factories can't handle this big order, and the big factories out there that can handle it are busy."

"He had no choice."

……

"Tang Qiang!"

Wei Lin suddenly sat up straight in the office, a rare cold light flashing in his eyes.

As the general manager of Qifeng Hat Business Department, Tang Qiang is like a mountain suppressing all local peers. Xinlin has been unable to break through the current shackles because of Tang Qiang's constraints!
Large orders from home and abroad are almost monopolized by Qifeng Hat Industry locally, and Tang Qiang has made great contributions.

Only those small orders that Tang Qiang looked down upon and was unwilling to take on would fall into the hands of Xinlin and several other small factories.

Without long-term, stable large orders, small companies dare not expand their scale and factory buildings and can only survive in the cracks between large factories.

The reason why Wei Lin has been somewhat depressed in his career in recent years is because of Tang Qiang's malicious suppression, which has made him unable to find a breakthrough for a long time.

For orders with larger quantities, Tang Qiang calculated Xinlin's costs accurately, and once he offered the same unit price, he could easily grab the order.

Qi Feng’s brand is well-known, its scale is larger, and its quality control has always been good.

For the same unit price, anyone would choose Qifeng instead of Xinlin or other small factories.

With the necessary costs in place, Xinlin cannot compete through low prices - that would simply mean losing money.

The giant Qifeng Hat Industry and Tang Qiang, who has extraordinary business capabilities, are the reasons why Xinlin and other local peers cannot get up.

In addition to business conflicts, Tang Qiang and Wei Lin also have personal grudges.

According to An Yuntian, it was because Tang Qiang wanted to grab a big order that his father was overwhelmed and overworked, which led to the car accident.

Also.

When his father was working at Qifeng Hat Company, Tang Qiang was a capable salesman under his father. It's no exaggeration to say that he was his father's apprentice. "In public and in private, I will fight you!"

Wei Lin suddenly opened the drawer and found Anderson's business card from a pile of business cards.

"Uncle Hua, is your factory busy recently? How many orders can you get in two months?"

"Uncle Ding, I have a large order that I can't handle by myself. Is it possible for you to help me out a little?"

"Uncle Zhong, are you free lately?"

Before deciding to call Anderson, Wei Lin made frantic calls to communicate with him, first to make sure that there were no problems here and whether he could really take on this large order.

He would never fight a battle without confidence.

……

Ten thirty in the morning, at the gate of Qifeng Hat Industry.

Anderson rejected the driver arranged by Tang Qiang. After leaving the gate, he turned around and looked at the huge factory building and several high-rise buildings. He said, "Tang did it on purpose."

Fu Jintang is 1.74 meters tall. Wearing a professional suit, and with the help of high heels, she is almost as tall as him.

Hearing this, Fu Jintang said with a cold face: "He knows that we are in a hurry to get the goods, and he also understands that it will be difficult for us to find another company to cooperate with in a short period of time."

"A unit price of 11 is acceptable, but 12 is not." Anderson said in a deep voice.

"I understand." Fu Jintang frowned.

On the way out, she had already contacted other large companies, but did not receive a clear answer.

"Jingle Bell!"

The phone rang suddenly.

Andrew was a little confused, so he picked up the phone and started communicating with the other party in fluent Chinese.

After hanging up, he asked, "How much do you know about Xinlin Hat Industry?"

Fu Jintang was stunned for a moment, and quickly searched his mind for relevant memories about this company. After a moment, he said, "It's a small hat company in Linjiang City. Its scale and production capacity are far inferior to Qifeng's. It has never been on our cooperation list."

"Product quality?" Anderson pressed.

"The quality is not bad, but we definitely won't be able to reach our order amount within three months," said Fu Jintang, who had done detailed homework.

"The boss is on his way. He asked us to wait a moment and he will take us to visit his factory." Anderson hesitated.

"So fast?" Fu Jintang was surprised and immediately reminded: "But this company doesn't have the ability to take our order."

"I know, and he knows, too, and he explained it clearly." Anderson, who oversees much of Fenglin's domestic business, said without hiding anything. "He said he would work with three other local companies to ensure quality and on-time delivery."

"In the past, we did not cooperate with small companies like this." Fu Jintang felt worried.

"We have too much work to do and can't waste time on this order. He is proactive, frank, and quick, so let's meet him." Andrew made a decision.

Fu Jintang said no more, turned his head to look at Qifeng Hat Industry behind him, and became a little curious about the young boss who was on the way.

"How did he know that our talks with Qi Feng broke down?"

"How come he's so decisive? He rushed over here as soon as we finished here?"

"He doesn't have spies in Qifeng, does he?"

……

Twenty minutes later, a white Land Cruiser stopped in front of the gate of Qifeng Hat Industry.

A tall, thin man opened the car door and walked over quickly. He smiled and said from a distance, "Mr. Anderson, I'm Wei Lin from Xinlin Hat Industry."

He walked forward, shook hands with Anderson first, and then politely shook hands with Fu Jintang.

"I've come here specifically to invite you two to visit my company."

A man with a bright smile stood at the entrance of a hat giant, soliciting customers. He said calmly, "Our company is small, far inferior to Qi Feng, but we don't do things like temporarily raising prices."

Fu Jintang was stunned: "You know all this?"

Wei Lin smiled again, then said indignantly, "I don't know the specific details, but I despise Tang Qiang's character and his usual way of doing things!"

When Fu Jintang heard him scolding Tang Qiang, she immediately felt a good impression of him because she was full of anger.

Anderson hasn't spoken yet.

She had previously mentioned to Anderson many times that Xinlin was too small and unqualified. Suddenly, she said, "Mr. Anderson, why don't we go to his factory and take a look?"
