Martial Arts Culture Street, inside the Bull Running Hall.
Leaders from major martial arts schools in Shanfo City gathered in the meeting hall of the Benniu Hall.
Everyone sat together and discussed a very serious issue.
"Has the counterfeit juice flowed into our lives?" a leader asked with a frown.
"It must have flowed in, otherwise how could it be possible that several of my disciples reported that drinking it had no effect!" A leader immediately said.
"My disciples have achieved results, but the results seem to be not as good as before." Another leader said.
"If this matter is not resolved, our business will not be able to continue!" Another leader said.
The other leaders nodded. Nowadays, you can’t make much money teaching students. What really makes money is selling courses and giving away juice. Basically, they can make about 10% of the lowest-level juices when they resell them. Higher-level ones can earn about 10%.
Juice is more profitable. Everyone is making a lot of money because of juice. Many people have bought luxury cars and luxury homes. They have just signed a mortgage contract and have to pay back a huge sum of money every month.
If the juice business cannot survive, then most of the leaders here will also be unable to survive, so everyone is still very concerned about this issue.
"It seems that those fake juices from abroad have flowed into our country!" Xu Bing intervened at the right time.
His words have been recognized by many people, because the counterfeit juice incident abroad is now in full swing, and what they get is smuggled juice, and it is normal for counterfeit products to be mixed into it.
"Li Chen, counterfeit juice has appeared now, what should we do?" someone asked Li Chen on the side.
Li Chen is not the most distinguished person among these people, but he is the first one to sell juice here, so many people look to him for their guidance when it comes to juice. Even if Xu Bing wants to join them, he is looking for Li Chen.
Chen.
"What else can we do? Shouldn't we stop doing this business because there are fake juices? Some bosses just said that there are real and fake juices, and the proportion of fake juices is not high. Anyone who buys fake juice will be unlucky.
Well, anyway, we can't let this matter affect our business." Li Chen said with a straight face.
"That's what I say, but juice is too expensive after all. A bottle of juice is sometimes a person's salary for a year. But one year's salary is a fake one. What do people think? Don't you want to come and make trouble with us?" Someone said
said.
"Are you making trouble? Where can you go? Are you saying that you bought fake juice? Are we saying that what we sell is juice? Which one of you hasn't put a vest on the juice? Then you can just say that your personal physique is not good enough?"
Li Chen said.
"But if this continues, our credibility will be in question. When the time comes, everyone will be worried about buying fakes and will not dare to buy from us. So what should we do?" someone asked.
Li Chen frowned after hearing this person's words.
In his opinion, what this person said makes sense. Everyone is worried about buying fakes, so they don't dare to spend money.
"Why don't we stop for a while and communicate with the other side to see how to resolve this matter," Xu Bing said.
"We can't stop." Li Chen shook his head and said, "Do you know that there is a lot of juice shortage in the market now? We finally found a stable supplier. If we stop rashly, what will happen if the supplier is taken away?
"
"But we don't know what to do now!" Xu Bing spread his hands and said, "Who can bear it when we send hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to buy fake juice?"
"That's right, we can suppress one or two students if they are deceived, but if there are too many, our martial arts gym will be destroyed sooner or later." Someone agreed.
As soon as this person agreed, more people immediately followed suit.
In short, everyone has the same opinion. They dare not continue doing this business without any way to confirm that the goods are genuine.
Facing everyone's opinions, Li Chen frowned.
At this time, he didn't know what to do. He couldn't really stop doing this business, right? If he didn't do it, who would repay the money for the house? Who would repay the money for the car? Who would pay the girl in the club for the night?
"Also, let me put it bluntly, everyone knows how profitable juice is. There were no fake juices on the market before, so what we buy is real. Real juices come from various juice factories. Juice
Stores require high costs. There are fake juices on the market now. If our suppliers order fake ones and sell them, then they will pass the blame to the people who make fake juices. That will be really serious.
It’s really a waste of time.” Xu Bing said with a serious face.
"Xu Bing's words make sense. The market price of a bottle of juice is 100,000 yuan. We buy it for 150,000 yuan and he earns 50,000 yuan. If he gives us a fake bottle with a market price of a few yuan and sells it to us for 150,000 yuan, then
Even if you make 150,000 yuan, it would be terrible if the number is too high!" Someone echoed.
"What are you guessing? How long have we been cooperating with each other? If it is true or false, they would have taken it out and sold it as real. Why wait until now?" Li Chen said with a straight face.
"Isn't that because there were no fake juices in the world before? Now that there are fake juices, then he can take the blame, right?" someone said.
"Yeah!"
"You're right!"
Immediately, someone else followed suit.
Seeing the suspicious expressions on the faces of the people around him, Li Chen was extremely angry, but he couldn't say much, after all, these people's suspicions were well-founded.
"I'll send them an email later to ask what they mean. The juice business will continue and cannot be stopped. Don't guess this or that. Let's wait for the news over there." Li Chen said.
"Okay! Li Chen, it's up to you to do this!" Xu Bing said.
"Well!" Li Chen nodded and said, "It's getting late, so I won't let you eat."
After hearing this, everyone stood up and said goodbye to Li Chen and left.
Li Chen sat on the chair with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, Niu Wu came over.
"Master, I have a way to calm everyone's hearts!" Niu Wu said in a low voice.
"Oh? What method?" Li Chen asked doubtfully.
"The reason why everyone has such worries is simply because they don't have enough trust in suppliers. If we can persuade suppliers to do something to increase trust, wouldn't it be able to stabilize everyone's hearts!"
Niu Wu said.
"Do something to increase trust? For example?" Li Chen asked.
"I haven't thought about this too much. I think there are a lot of things that can be done, such as suppliers supplying goods first and then collecting money," Niu Wu said.
"They will definitely not agree to this." Li Chen shook his head.
"Then...or arrange for the supplier to meet with you?" Niu Wu said in a low voice.
"Meet?" Li Chen's pupils shrank slightly and said, "What are you meeting for?"
"After meeting each other, I know the details of the other party. I think everyone should feel more at ease this way. Otherwise, they would always communicate by email, just like netizens, and their credibility is still limited." Niu Wu said.
"Really? Have you ever found any netizens?" Li Chen asked.
"Well, I've been looking for him. Before we met, I thought it was all fake. It'll be fine once we meet." Niu Wu scratched his head and said.
"Your suggestion is a good one. In the current special circumstances, a meeting with the supplier can really calm people's hearts. I will discuss it with the other heads later!" Li Chen said.
"Yeah!" Niu Wu nodded.
"I didn't expect that, Niu Wu, my mind has been quite bright recently, and I can think of such ideas!" Li Chen said with a smile.
"That's for sure. I've been with you, master, for so long, and I've been immersed in it for so long. I've learned something about you, master!" Niu Wu said with a flattering smile.
"If this problem can be solved satisfactorily, I will take credit from you! I'm going to eat first!" Li Chen said, stood up and left with a smile on his face. It could be seen that he was still in a very good mood at this time.
At the same time, the Shuishui Martial Arts School was cut off.
Lin Zhiming, Li Feifan and Xu Bing sat together.
"Ip Man, I have said what you asked me to do, what should I do next?" Xu Bing asked.
"Don't worry about anything right now. The one who should be anxious right now is Li Chen. Let's wait for Li Chen's response." Lin Zhiming said.
"Will he really arrange for suppliers to come out to meet with us?" Li Feifan asked.
"Yes." Lin Zhiming nodded.
"Are you so sure?" Li Feifan asked doubtfully.
"Of course, the only way to quickly appease everyone right now is to ask the suppliers to come out and meet with us so that we can get to know our suppliers," Lin Zhiming said.
"As long as we know the identity of the supplier and keep the evidence, we can report it to the people of the Dragon Clan. Then... we will be able to bring clarity to the martial arts world!" Xu Bing sighed.
"But Master, if one person falls down, others will surely rise up. The profit from juice is too great." Li Feifan said.
"We just want to do our best, and we don't need to think too much about other things. Let's go and eat." Xu Bing stood up and said.
Lin Zhiming and Li Fan stood up together, followed Xu Bing out of the room, and headed to the restaurant.
Night falls.
Lin Zhiming was practicing Qigong and digesting food in the yard when he suddenly saw Li Fan put on his clothes and sneaking towards the door.
"Senior brother, are you going on a date again?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Please keep your voice down. I have an appointment with Ai Qiong to go to the night market tonight. I may come back later. If anything happens, remember to cover me!" Li Feifan said in a low voice.
"Okay, come on, senior brother!" Lin Zhiming smiled and waved to Li Feifan.
Li Feifan nodded and walked out of the martial arts hall with his waist hunched.
As soon as Li Feifan left, Su Qing appeared in front of Lin Zhiming and walked towards the door.
"Master, are you going out?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Well, I have something to do when I go out. You can practice yours." Su Qing looked a little weird. After saying hello to Lin Zhiming, she didn't say much and walked straight out of the martial arts gym.
