Chapter 597 Being Straightforward
The meeting room started to get very chaotic.
All the business partners here were considered middle tier in Shenghai. All the best retailers and
distributors only carried overseas brands.
But since Lin Group had only just started to rise, they weren’t going to change their minds just
because they had come up with a bestseller. After all, to them, this product was inferior in the first
place.
“Please be quiet,” Gao Yali finally spoke up after a while because she couldn’t stand it anymore.
“All of you are here to discuss business, so please calm down. CEO Lin will not force any of you.”
What she meant was clear. She wasn’t going to force anyone either.
The Gao family was very influential in the illegal circle, so everyone had to work with them so that
they didn’t bring trouble upon themselves.
But when it came to expanding their own business, nobody was willing to give in. Besides, no
matter how powerful the illegal circle was, they wouldn’t dare to interfere with businesses in the
legal circle.
They couldn’t force anyone to do business.

“Miss Gao, we’re not trying to make things difficult for you, but CEO Lin’s decision is really a
mistake. We can’t just watch ourselves lose a precious chance to make money.”
“Make money! Make money! That’s the most important thing!”
They all shook their heads and there was disappointment written all over their faces.
They thought that they could earn a tidy profit by working with Lin Group. But Lin Yuzhen had gone
crazy and wanted to set her own industry standard.
This was a waste of effort.
Lin Yuzhen remained silent and at there as she listened to everyone tell her their opinion and their
requests.
She knew that everyone wanted to make money and only thought about making money. She knew
that making profit was the main aim of a business too.
But she also knew that if everyone wanted to make money and make even more money than before
they had to increase the size of the industry. Once the cake was bigger, they’d get to eat more and
become fuller.
But now they were constantly at the mercy of others.
The moment your product did not meet international standards, your product would become an
inferior product and couldn’t compete with those big names at all.
But why?
Her product wasn’t any poorer than someone else’s, so why did she have to suffer judgment from
another party?
Why could others choose to be both an industry player and a judge of the other players at the same
time?
On what grounds?
Lin Yuzhen refused to give in to this.
She glanced at Jiang Ning and he didn’t say anything. He just nodded and used his eyes to tell her
to go ahead and do whatever she wanted. He was going to support her no matter what happened.
Lin Yuzhen became determined.
“Everyone!” She stood up. “Everyone, please quieten down.”
The meeting room fell silent.
“I know where all of you are coming from. You believe that this is a waste of effort and we could
even lose our best chance at selling this product,” she said seriously. “I also know that all of you are
under great pressure to make money, because otherwise it’s hard to answer to your shareholders
and your staff. I understand
all of this!”
Some of them nodded. Since Lin Yuzhen understood all of this, why did she make such a decision?
Wasn’t it good enough to just quietly make money? Why bother challenging overseas brands and
their standards?
“But have you considered this before?” asked Lin Yuzhen. “They decided on the standard, but make
our products compete with theirs. They are the ones who say that our products are substandard
and can only be a grade lower than theirs. So they might sell 1,000 and we can only sell 300. But
are our products really poorer than theirs?”
“Since that’s the case, then aren’t you earning less for nothing? Doesn’t your heart hurt when you
think about it?”
“If we want to expand within the country, then we have to call the shots. Otherwise we will always
end up with leftovers. Are you satisfied with eating these leftovers?” “And one day, if they don’t even
let you
have the leftovers, what are you going to do? We have to hold onto our own lifeline!”
