"Crayfish, I think there is a slight deviation from our previous business philosophy."
Francis flashed his eyes and he said in a deep voice, "You said before that Qingshan Orange is operated as a high-end fruit, targeting the elite group."
"That's right. Is there a problem with this?"
Maya opened her beautiful big eyes and asked in confusion.
"It seems good at first glance, but in fact, it's very problematic."
Francis said seriously, "A fruit that can be recognized by the broad masses of the people is good. As a high-end fruit, Qingshan Orange is rightly recognized by the elite, but at the same time, it must also be recognized by the broad masses of the people."
"The price of Qingshan Orange is high, but ordinary people don't buy it. Just like hairy crabs, they are expensive. Ordinary families definitely can't afford them all the time, but eating them once in a while is still okay, right? For the Qingshan Oranges, it is still okay to buy it once in a while, so Qingshan Orange must be recognized by the broad masses of the people."
"Why did this time have such a big impact? That's because our orange has not been recognized by the general public! They have never eaten Qingshan Orange, so after the TV station exposed it, they followed the trend and insulted them. Just imagine, what if they have eaten Qingshan Orange? Even if it exposes Qingshan Orange and frames us falsely, I don't think the general public will believe it.”
Maya thought about it carefully, nodded in agreement, and said with a wry smile, "What you said makes sense. I ignored this before, but now I realize."
"Not too late, not at all late, and just right."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Francis's mouth and he said, "Before, our oranges were limited in quantity, and they were not enough for the elites to buy. So ordinary families could only buy very few."
"It just so happens that while the fruit shops are closed these days, we can store some. When the time comes, a large number of Qingshan oranges will be released to the market, which will inevitably cause an unimaginable sensation. Even ordinary citizens can buy them."
At the end of the sentence, Francis even became elated.
"Don't blame me for attacking you."
Maya said coldly, "Our fruit shop has been closed now. We don't know when we can open it again. Moreover, the public has a very bad impression of Qingshan Oranges. Do you think that even if we sell Qingshan Oranges again, they will come and buy it?”
"Haha...this is the opportunity I just mentioned."
Francis laughed and said, "This time the TV station did us a big favor. Originally, the public knew that there were very few Qingshan Oranges, but we hadn't even made any efforts to publicize it, so the TV station helped us publicize it."
"Yes, the public has a bad impression of us now, but I think when the test report from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau comes out and proves that our Qingshan Oranges are so awesome, won't we be able to reverse the situation directly?"
"Ah, I can imagine that by then, the thresholds of each store will probably be trampled down by enthusiastic citizens."
"You can just brag."
Maya's beautiful face showed a bright smile. After Francis said this, it seemed that this crisis was really not a bad thing.
"Okay, we have figured out the problem."
The smile on Francis's face disappeared, and he became serious, "Now, let's figure out the source of this matter."
"It was exposed on the TV station, and I also read the content. The editor said that he ate Qingshan oranges and felt that they were no different from ordinary oranges. In fact, they even tasted worse than ordinary oranges. What does this mean? What does this mean for this editor? There is a problem. If he had really eaten it, he would definitely not have said that. We were framed by him, so the question is, why did he do this?"
"Well, I thought of a person. It might be that person who did it."
Maya said suddenly.
"Who?"
Francis asked.
At that moment, Maya told Francis that Geoff had come to her to discuss cooperation not long ago.
"Maybe it was him."
Francis gritted his teeth and felt angry. The colleagues were like enemies. Once they didn't reach cooperation, in order to seize the market and suppress his competitors, he had enough reasons to do this.
"Fuck, I will find evidence, and I'll revenge him!"
Francis spoke murderously, with his face looking ferocious because of his anger.
In order to buy Millennium Ginseng for his father and to revenge on Niklaus, he had to work hard to make money. Anyone who dared to stop him from making money was his enemy.
"Francis, you...what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Francis looked a little ferocious, Maya pursed her red lips and asked softly.
"Ah?"
Francis reacted immediately and said with a smile, "No, it's nothing."
"It's really nothing? You don't even know how scary your expression just now was."
Maya pursed her red lips and said.
"Haha... Sorry, I scared you."
Francis laughed and said, "When I think about someone using despicable means to deal with us, I get angry."
"Oh, right!"
Francis slapped his head and said, "Since it is Geoff who does this, is it possible for him to bribe people and manipulate the test reports? This must be paid enough attention. All our previous plans were based on the correct test report. If the test report is tampered with, then we will really be in doom."
"Um!"
Maya was very serious, and she also realized the importance of the test report.
"Ah, I remembered."
Maya breathed softly and said, "I have a client, the daughter of the Director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, who has a good relationship with me. If I tell her, she will definitely help. I don't ask for an exaggerated report, as long as the report is fair. That's enough.”
At that moment, Maya took out her cell phone and started sending messages to the girl she was talking about.
A few minutes later, Maya held up her mobile phone and said happily, "It's done, she agreed. She also told me that her father also ate the Qingshan Orange and praised it. Her father also felt that the TV station's revelations were a bit strange. I will personally supervise the entire testing process."
"In that case, there will be no problem."
Francis was relieved.
In the next three days, Francis stayed in Qingshan Village, constantly using an Herbal formula to create a "spiritual liquid" to water oranges. He would do this as long as his body was full of spiritual energy.
With his continuous efforts, in just three days, he used Herbal formula to water 18,000 kilograms of Qingshan oranges. These oranges were transported to the distribution center in the county and could be transported to fruit stores as quickly as possible.
