At noon the next day, Lin Xiaodong held a business meeting and invited a number of major clients to the company conference room.
These big customers all know Lin Xiaodong's intentions, and they all have small calculations to make Lin Xiaodong give away profits! In fact, most of Lin Xiaodong's famous herbal teas are sold by Wang Tianming as an agent.
These large invited customers really only account for a small part of the sales.
The main reason why Lin Xiaodong invited them here was because he didn't want these big customers to be taken away by Zhao He.
Secondly, medicinal tea factories have been expanding their output, and Wang Tianming alone may not be able to represent all the medicinal teas.
These people still have to be retained.
Song Zishan explained the plan again. The profit transfer was for sure, but these big customers needed to sign a contract.
They are restricted to only represent famous herbal teas.
Otherwise, you will have to bear huge compensation.
This is a business method that applies to all walks of life.
To be honest, it's not too much at all.
None of these major customers had any objections, but they all felt that Lin Xiaodong's profit concession was too little and hoped that Lin Xiaodong could double sales.
Lin Xiaodong's face turned dark immediately. In this case, he would not make any profit.
These big customers obviously saw that Zhao He was going to hold a tea tasting event in southern Jiangsu, and they confidently threatened Lin Xiaodong.
"Everyone, I think I have been sincere enough, and you will make a lot of money.
We are in a long-term business. As the reputation of Mingding herbal tea grows, in the foreseeable future, you will be able to earn dozens or even hundreds of times as much profit as you do now.
Aren't you satisfied with this?
You still want me to give you profits, but if you give me more, I won’t make any money.”
Lin Xiaodong had a straight face and knocked on the table.
"Mr. Lin, the competition in the herbal tea market is very fierce now.
We also have to think about ourselves. We have signed a contract with you for such a long time. If your famous herbal tea fails to dominate the market, we will be in trouble with you."
"Yes, this contract is too long, and we will be tied to death by you."
"Qingshan medicinal tea is very popular now. Zhao He has approached us several times, but he agreed to our conditions."
"If Mr. Lin is unwilling to accept our conditions, then we will have to go to Zhao He."
"I heard that Zhao He is going to hold a tea tasting event in southern Jiangsu tonight. We can go there just by turning around."
The big clients worked together to put pressure on Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong showed a smile and said lightly: "I made Qingshan Herbal Tea, what kind of quality do I know?
I can tell you clearly that green mountain herbal tea is outdated.
Famous herbal teas will be the mainstream in the future.
In one year, I only need one year to squeeze Qingshan Herbal Tea out of the top market."
Lin Xiaodong gestured with his finger and continued with a firm expression: "If you sign a contract with Zhao He, you will find that you just spent a lot of money to pave the road, but Qingshan Tea Medicine is no longer effective.
What's the use of Zhao He giving you more profits?
If no one buys Qingshan herbal tea, you won’t even be able to make back the cost.”
The big customers looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
"Mr. Lin, you said you made the Qingshan medicinal tea?
Is this true?"
"It's not [ ] possible, Qingshan medicinal tea has always been Zhao He's industry."
"We have never heard that you were the discoverer of Qingshan medicinal tea."
Big customers raised questions.
This is normal. After all, Lin Xiaodong was only the boss behind the scenes and did not care about business matters. Except for a few people, no one knew that Qingshan Herbal Tea was developed by him.
"Here is the recipe of Qingshan medicinal tea, as well as the improvement process.
If you look at it, you will know that Qingshan herbal tea has not been improved for five years.
That's because I left this world for exactly five years. During the five years that I was absent, no one could improve the formula of Qingshan herbal tea.
If you think about it, you should know how to choose. On the one hand, there are herbal teas that cannot be improved, and on the other hand, there are herbal teas that can be continuously improved. That would be more advantageous, can't you see it?"
Lin Xiaodong handed over a prepared document for these big customers to read.
Regardless of whether these big customers believe it or not, this move is enough to make them think twice.
During the discussion with the major customers, they all agreed that Lin Xiaodong's words could not be taken at face value, but based on their experience they could conclude that the formula of Qingshan Herbal Tea had indeed not been improved in five years.
After all, you can taste the green mountain herbal tea by drinking it all year round.
"Mr. Lin, can you let me discuss this?"
The big customers were relieved and decided to discuss countermeasures.
"Of course it's no problem, I'll give you half an hour!"
Lin Xiaodong left with Song Zishan and handed over the conference room to the clients.
"Brother Lin, will they agree?"
In the office, Song Zishan said worriedly.
"Some people will leave.
But it's enough to keep some of it.
As long as we make famous herbal teas, are we still afraid that we won't be able to attract distributors?"
Lin Xiaodong said very confidently.
Half an hour passed quickly, just as Lin Xiaodong expected.
The client will be split in half, with some insisting that Lin Xiaodong accept their conditions.
Others agreed to Lin Xiaodong's conditions, but they had to enter into a betting contract.
Lin Xiaodong did not agree to any further concessions, and those who insisted were driven away.
Lin Xiaodong signed a betting contract with those who stayed. The content was very direct. It was agreed that within three years, Lin Xiaodong would push the famous herbal tea to the position of the number one herbal tea.
Otherwise, Lin Xiaodong will lose the bet, and not only will he have to accept compensation, but the long-term contract he signed will also be invalidated! Lin Xiaodong happily signed the bet contract, which shows his confidence and courage.
That night, a grand party was held in the largest manor in southern Jiangsu.
That is the tea tasting event of Qingshan Herbal Tea.
Zhao He organized this tea tasting event firstly to promote Qingshan medicinal tea, and secondly to win over people's hearts.
This guy didn't know where he got some elixirs from, and would auction them off at the tea tasting event, earning enough attention and money.
Lin Xiaodong and Song Zishan dressed up and talked to Qian Zhen on the phone.
Let Qian Zhen not come to pick up the two of them, so they can go on their own.
As for the invitation, Qian Zhen would naturally send someone to wait outside the manor to hand it over to Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong and Song Zishan came outside the manor and saw the upper class people everywhere. They had to sigh that Zhao He was really powerful.
So many powerful and wealthy people were invited at once.
The people who came to participate in the tea tasting event were not just people from southern Jiangsu. It can be said that the rich and powerful people from all over the country came.
In order to build momentum, Zhao He also invited many celebrities.
Even the Internet celebrity anchors who bring goods are invited to carry out live broadcasts to bring goods.
Bobo Jiang is one of them, dressed up in a fancy dress, on a stage, busy doing a live broadcast to bring goods. This night, at least the sales will exceed 100 million, which is scary to think about!
