"Thank you for providing such valuable information."

"Hey! You're welcome!"

I had dinner with Pierre again, and then Xiao Feng took his leave. He was in a good mood when he came, but when he learned that the Americans were coming to cause trouble, Xiao Feng's mood was not so good.

Although their ninth laboratory has unique skills, after all, cosmetics cannot be supported by their small molecule collagen and K-alpha active factor alone.

Many other auxiliary materials are also needed, such as various essential oils, alcohol, various chemical raw materials such as copper sulfate and sodium sulfate. These are all trace elements with different effects that supplement and repair the skin.

These raw materials are also necessary basic materials when they prepare cosmetics.

Of course, most of these materials are produced domestically, and those big European and American brands also purchase them domestically, and then ship some core materials from their countries, and then process their end products in China.

Then they are sold to all over the world, so they are the big customers of those raw material factories.

It can even be said that they are downstream customers with absolute bargaining power, if they form an alliance and force the raw material suppliers not to supply to the Ninth Laboratory.

Then the Ninth Laboratory is in trouble. Although it is supported by Jade Liquid, it may stop production in a month because it cannot purchase enough raw materials.

Although in the end they were able to find a full-chain supply chain dedicated to supplying themselves, it would take a lot of time, possibly one year or even two years.

And two years later, if you fight back, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold, and if those guys form an alliance, there is still a lot they can do.

Pierre just gave him a hint, and there was still a lot left to say. That was the last resort, the most underhanded tactics!

You must know that these European and American companies have always been very thick-faced and shady!

They are the ones who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but are full of male thieves and female prostitutes.

When they have the upper hand, they will reason with you and use words to trick you into going around in circles. Anyway, you play according to their rules.

But once you become powerful and even have the ability to overturn the table and rewrite the rules, they will put on a different face and use any dirty tricks on you.

In this regard, the United States, which is currently engaged in a sweater war, is a typical example.

Such as kidnapping a female executive of a company, going back on her word, long-arm jurisdiction, and all kinds of dirty tricks were used. Anyway, they don’t want the country’s face.

And these foreign companies don't know how to do this.

Even if your Ninth Laboratory can get back up by then, they can frame you up at will, or impose various restrictions on you through the local government, and they can kill you.

This is the part that Pierre didn't explain to him clearly just now. Xiao Feng is not stupid, so he can figure out this part in his head.

So a sense of crisis came to mind. If the Americans joined in, it would be easy to do bad things, because he knew that these guys were a bunch of bastards who really didn't like to follow rules.

The cheerful mood last night was gone after returning from the hotel where Pierre stayed.

After he came back, he picked up the phone and called Helen in the United States...

But in the next period of time, Xiao Feng focused all his attention on this investment and franchising conference.

Finally, a week later, the investment and franchising conference was held at the Bincheng Convention and Exhibition Center next to their Twin Towers.

Originally, they wanted to hold this investment and franchise conference in the lobby of their hotel, but recently, there have been too many domestic franchisees calling to sign up.

The number of people has exceeded 6,000, so the reception hall of their hotel cannot accommodate them.

Xiao Lin originally wanted to hold the conference in batches with quotas, such as 500 merchants at a time, and 200 quotas for each batch.

Later I saw that this was simply not feasible and unfair, so I decided to hold it all at once and have everyone participate.

It seems that the franchise fees and store opening costs they announced previously have not deterred these franchisees, and everyone's willingness to join and open stores is quite strong.

Fortunately, their hotel is next to one of Bincheng's landmarks, the New Convention and Exhibition Center. The area here is large enough, and several large-scale exhibitions are held here every year.

For example, annual medical exhibitions, tea culture festivals, various auto shows, etc. are all held in this glass building.

This large exhibition hall has six floors. The surface area of ​​each floor alone is tens of thousands of square meters, which is enough to accommodate their more than 6,000 merchants.

However, due to the large number of people, it is necessary to raise a batch of various tables, chairs and benches, and the staff at the Convention and Exhibition Center have been busy recently to cooperate with them.

They are also very happy to be able to host such a conference, because they will definitely make a lot of money.

At nine o'clock in the morning that day, investors and franchisees from all walks of life came from Bincheng and even all over the country and went straight to this convention and exhibition center.

A red carpet was also laid out at the entrance of the Convention and Exhibition Center, and an inflatable rainbow door was erected at the entrance. Xiaolin also rented a dozen large hot air balloons, with various red cloth slogans written in large characters tied underneath.

The gate really attracted a lot of attention.

There was an endless stream of guests and vehicles from all walks of life. The hotel was open and it took more than an hour just to get in.

Everyone took the invitations and took their seats according to their numbers. Just as they were seated, the lights on the stage in front dimmed, and then Zhou Jing was already on stage!

The last investment and franchising conference was explained by Zhou Jing on the stage. With the experience of the last time and more than a year of training, Zhou Jing is now very different from the little supervisor before.

Dressed in a smart suit and skirt, with short short hair and beautiful face, she aroused cheers as soon as she took the stage.

"Dear guests, good morning. Welcome to the second national investment and franchising conference of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing. On behalf of Celebrity Chef Group, I welcome you all..."

There was a round of applause from the audience, then the lights dimmed, and a slideshow appeared on the curtain behind Zhou Jing. Naturally, it started with a series of advertising clips.

Then it was the old routine. Zhou Jing combined with the slideshow to explain to everyone the growth process of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing from its establishment to the present.

Of course, it's different from last time. This time they added the production factory on Daimen Island. This is a process of showing their strength.

And when the merchants in the audience heard that they had even rented a small island as a production base for a food bag factory, they couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

This chef is really ambitious in manufacturing. This is a huge investment. As long as it is done well, there will be no problem in running this factory for hundreds of years.

The biggest advantage of staying away from the mainland is that you can avoid the impact of the epidemic and ensure health and safety standards.

Those in the catering industry are most afraid of an uncontrolled animal epidemic, because this will seriously affect their production costs, as well as safety and health issues.

And now everyone has seen that the celebrity chef group has placed its food bag factory on the island, which shows their vision!

The video of this scene is quite convincing. For those who had some doubts about celebrity chefs before, all their doubts have been dispelled at this time.

With such a production base, it is unlikely that such a company would run away after only two days of work and defraud everyone of their franchise fees.

There is also a building not far away. People have bought it. They will cheat you of the millions in franchise fees?

"Okay, that's all about our celebrity chef manufacturing situation. After the investment and franchising conference is over, we will invite all franchisees to visit our island..."

As soon as Zhou Jing said these words, the franchisees present couldn't help but feel more relieved.

"Okay, let's move on to the next stage, which is an introduction to the cost of franchising. How many of you haven't read the investment and franchising manual we distributed before?"

More than half of the people at the scene raised their hands and said they had not read it. After all, the brochure was only open to guests staying at the Pennyvilla Peninsula Hotel.

Franchisees staying in hotels outside naturally don't know that such a manual exists.

So Zhou Jing called up the slides again and began to explain it to everyone. Of course, the focus must be on those tables.

"In line with the attitude of being responsible to franchisees, this time we hired Citi's evaluation team to make an assessment of the operating conditions of our celebrity chef manufacturing, as well as the costs that may be incurred by joining, as well as future profits or return cycles.

Detailed forecast..."

Zhou Jing was talking eloquently on the stage, and the investors in the audience also stretched their necks.

Those who have read the manual have already been prepared, while those who have not read the manual must listen very carefully at this time.

This chef is so conscientious. He invites everyone to join and analyzes how much investment is needed, how much money can be earned in a year, and how long will it take to recover the investment.

Where can I find such a conscientious enterprise nowadays?

Many investors even felt tears in their eyes after seeing the data analyzed by Zhou Jing on stage.

Think about how many investment meetings they have been invited by banks to attend every year, including funds, private equity, and other investment meetings organized by various institutions.

Every time I attend a meeting, there will be a lecturer in a suit and leather suit, who will tell everyone whether this project is good or that project is good. Anyway, how does the project work in the end? Can it be profitable? How much profit does it make in a year?

No one will explain it clearly to you.

It's all based on the lecturer's words, and in the end, if you sign the contract, after all the words have been signed, they tell you that you are at your own risk!

Grandma Caota, how can this group of grandsons be as reliable as this chef and manufacturer?
