Chapter 1263 - Seizing the Opportunity
Chapter 1263: Seizing the Opportunity
Wen Xinya returned to the apartment in the evening and told Si Yiyan about the martyr appreciation event that Zhishan Club would be holding, as well as the supply of health supplements.
Shock was written all over Si Yiyan’s face and he smiled before saying, “This is a great opportunity for Lanxin Company. As long as we seize this opportunity, I reckon you’d be able to secure a position in the market and Lanxin will become the mainstream health supplement brand of the nation. That will help promote Lanxin Company.”
In recent years, the government had been paying more attention and placing more emphasis on retired soldiers as well as their families. This time, the martyr appreciation event was initiated by the government. Since Zhishan Club was the nation’s spokesperson, they were in charge of hosting the event. The fact that they were willing to give Wen Xinya a chance meant that they trusted her.
As happy as a lark, Wen Xinya said, “However, that would mean that the listing of the company would be postponed again, but… the benefits outweigh the cons.”
She could already imagine how happy Yan Shaoqing and the rest would be once they found out about the news.
Si Yiyan said, “Don’t think that you can take this matter lightly just because you’re a member of the Zhishan Club. You only got to know about this because of Zhishan Club, but the other businessmen of the market are sharp and bright-eyed. You’ll definitely face plenty of competitors. Their goal is to host this event successfully.”
Being given an opportunity was one thing and seizing it was another.
Wen Xinya was naturally well aware of that, and she didn’t let the sudden piece of good news rule her head either. “The quality, effectiveness, and safety of products matter the most to Zhishan Club. They’re not going to be biased towards me just because I’m a member and of course, they’re not going to keep this opportunity exclusive to me either. In the event that my products don’t meet their expectations, they’re going to suffer a huge loss too.”
Although Zhou Huiyan did not make it clear to her about those details, she had vaguely expressed the same thing. Wen Xinya obviously wouldn’t be so silly as to think that the opportunity was exclusive to her. Since they were all smart people, they had a tacit understanding.
She was extremely grateful to Zhishan Club for giving her a chance.
Si Yiyan felt that he ought to give her some reminders. After rehearsing his lines in his head, he said, “Lanxin Company is too weak now and there are still a few other health supplements brands that are very capable and strong compared to Lanxin, which has just been established. Your only advantage is that you have Du Ruo and Old Mr. Du’s approval. You have to exploit that edge that you have over your competitors. Most importantly, let the quality and effectiveness of your products do the talking.”
Du Ruo and Old Mr. Du were the trump cards of Wen Xinya’s health supplements brand and they would definitely give her an edge. However, the quality of the products was of paramount importance.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I know what to do.”
She did not deny the fact that Du Ruo and Old Mr. Du were her trump cards.
She had initially already planned everything when she decided to delve into the health supplements market.
She discovered that she had to make the best out of every business opportunity that she could find, though she had to be conscientious and consider carefully before investing. Otherwise, she would just be a fool, for there were plenty of opportunities everywhere in the world.
Right from the start, she already understood that Du Ruo had great potential and talent in developing Traditional Chinese Medicine skincare products. She set her sights on Du Ruo’s medicinal recipes and saw the value in them.
Most importantly, Old Mr. Du was there to refine her recipes, and it was an extremely lucrative business too. With Old Mr. Du around, their products would definitely be shot to fame.
Si Yiyan said, “Next, you will be facing a tough battle. Feel free to tell me when you need anything.”
He would be able to intervene with Zhishan Club as long as Wen Xinya requested him to do so.
Wen Xinya pouted her lips in displeasure and said, “You must have faith in me.”
Although she did not feel resistant towards Si Yiyan’s help, she still wanted to showcase her abilities and prove to him that she could be independent too. She did not want to be reliant on him for everything.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “I have faith in you.”
He was telling the truth. The development of Lanxin Company was already perfect and they had a concrete management structure and operations system. With the help of the intelligent Yan Shaoqing and the other competent talents, nothing much would go wrong unless there were unpredictable circumstances.
At this moment, Wen Xinya finally thought of an important thing. She glared at him unhappily and said, “Si Yiyan, why didn’t you remind me that I could have used the connections and resources provided by the Zhishan Club!?!”
Had she realized this earlier and made use of the resources, Lanxin Company would long have been developed and they would also have been able to take various shortcuts.
Si Yiyan stared at her and burst into laughter after seeing how puzzled she was. “You finally thought about that.”
Ever since Wen Xinya joined Zhishan Club, she had never used their resources before. Yet, Si Yiyan did not remind her either.
Extremely displeased, Wen Xinya said, “Why didn’t you remind me?”
Si Yiyan said, “Because… there are too many problems with Lanxin Company, and excessively-rapid progress will result in many other issues that would become obstacles for the company.”
Such resources could only be used by a mature company effectively. They had to start from the basics in order to reap more benefits. Since they did not have a stable base yet, there would be plenty of problems and the quicker they progressed, the sooner they would face their destruction.
“You’re right. Actually, I did think of using Zhishan Club’s connections before, but I constantly felt that the time was not right yet and hence, I put it aside temporarily,” said Wen Xinya, who thought that there were too many issues with the company in the past. Now that the development was perfect, she wondered if that was the reason for Zhou Huiyan’s decision to help her.
Si Yiyan continued, “Rest assured, there will be plenty of resources that you can use from now on. They will help Lanxin Company develop better and become stronger.”
Even though Wen Xinya had sufficient funds, the establishment of a company was not that simple and Lanxin Company had a tough time getting this far. They had also faced various obstacles along the way.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Yes! I believe our success is near.”
