"That's right, Little Factory Director!"
A member of the transportation team, one of Tiger Brother's subordinates, reported to Wang Yu. He had just returned from a long-distance transport trip and was passing by the department store, planning to buy some things. To his surprise, he discovered this situation and immediately rushed to report to Wang Yu.
"I took a look. Most of our various products are on the shelves in the department store. Besides our trucks and fuel-assisted vehicles, all the other small appliances and goods are there!"
The subordinate of Tiger Brother said anxiously, "Even the electric pressure cookers we just released are here, and their prices are much cheaper than ours. Many people on the spot are scrambling for them!"
As he spoke, the subordinate appeared very agitated, as his interests were now tied to Wang Yu's automobile factory.
The better Wang Yu's factory business was, the more opportunities they had to earn money through transportation.
After all, as individuals who were neither academically nor militarily accomplished, they were once the shame and disgrace of their families.
But ever since they followed Tiger Brother to pledge allegiance to Wang Yu, they were given a well-paying formal job and were even allowed to earn some extra income from time to time.
And Wang Yu, as the boss of their boss, was also gentle and approachable, never putting on airs. He treated his subordinates very well, finding excuses to give out bonuses at the slightest provocation.
Such good fortune was hard to find even with a lantern. Now, at family gatherings, who among them wasn't envied by their relatives?
Therefore, this subordinate genuinely cared about Wang Yu's interests, but to his surprise, Wang Yu didn't seem anxious at all.
"Little Factory Director, I've inquired. Those goods in the department store are manufactured by the Metallurgy General Factory. They must have plagiarized our products. They haven't even changed the position of a single screw; they've simply changed the trademark and started selling them!
They are trying to steal our livelihood. Should we go and teach them a lesson?"
The subordinate urged Wang Yu again.
"Oh, I'm aware of this. Thank you for your hard work."
However, Wang Yu still kept his eyelids lowered and smiled at the subordinate,
"You must be tired after such a long transport trip. Go back and get some good rest. Also, tell the canteen to prepare half a jin of pig's head meat for you to have as a treat. The expenses will be reimbursed by me."
"But Little Factory Director..."
"Don't worry, I have it under control. Go back and rest first, and have some extra food with your meal."
Wang Yu still smiled faintly.
"Oh... Alright."
Seeing this, the subordinate said no more. Perhaps the Little Factory Director already had a plan.
Yes, it must be so. The big brother who could subdue their boss must have his own methods. When the time comes, we just need to follow orders. That's why the Little Factory Director asked me to go back and have a good meal, so I'd be full of energy to work!
Thinking this, the subordinate left.
And Wang Yu, after the subordinate had walked away, revealed a meaningful smile.
Metallurgy General Factory, huh?
It seemed that those stolen design drafts and manuscripts were their doing. Even if they didn't do it themselves, they were definitely involved in the end.
Recalling the expressions of Xu Guangping and Fang Zhongtian from the Metallurgy General Factory back then, Wang Yu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Heaven was helping him deal with them!
"Heh heh, they didn't even change a screw and just copied us directly? I'm actually looking forward to seeing you. I truly hope you won't cry too hard when the time comes. Of course... I'd prefer it if you had the capability to discover the design flaws in those blueprints, otherwise it would be too boring."
Regarding the matter of Wang Yu's products being plagiarized, a certain farm machinery factory director, who is currently missing and has disappeared due to a large number of customers seeking compensation for vehicle recalls, has particularly strong grounds to speak...
Wang Yu chuckled, showing no signs of urgency. However, Feng Daochun, who had rushed over, was extremely anxious.
He had also received news that their products had been plagiarized and had hurried over. Upon arrival, he saw Wang Yu smiling.
"Little Factory Director, this is a disaster! You're still in the mood to smile so happily. Do you know that the Metallurgy General Factory has already..."
"Plagiarized our products and is now selling them in the department store?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.
"Little Factory Director, you already know, so why are you still so calm?"
Feng Daochun asked anxiously, "The products sold by the department store are much cheaper than ours, and they are supplied without any limit. I heard they are selling like hotcakes. If we don't do anything, our market will be completely wiped out, and everything will be finished!"
Feng Daochun was even more anxious than Tiger Brother's subordinate. As the head of the sales department, he was acutely aware that in market sales, sometimes one wrong step leads to a series of errors, and it could lead to complete ruin!
"It's certain that it will be finished, but I don't know for whom."
Wang Yu remained unfazed.
"Little Factory Director, you are young and may not have much experience in this regard, but I, Old Feng..."
Feng Daochun wanted to say more but was directly interrupted by Wang Yu, "Section Chief Feng, don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while..."
"What?"
It was clear that Feng Daochun had not been exposed to the information of later generations and was unable to comprehend the reference Wang Yu had made.
"Haha, I mean it's alright," Wang Yu said slowly. "Well... how about we go to the department store now to see the situation?"
"Excellent!"
As they spoke, the two of them hurried to the department store.
Of course, only Feng Daochun was in a state of extreme urgency. Wang Yu, however, walked at a leisurely pace, even muttering something to himself.
At first, Feng Daochun thought he was pondering a solution. But when he got closer and heard him, he realized Wang Yu was mumbling about what good dishes to cook for Wu Lingling that evening, which almost gave him a heart attack.
What time is it? Little Factory Director, you still have the leisure to think about what to eat?
It's a crisis!
Amidst Feng Daochun's extreme anxiety, Wang Yu and he finally arrived at the department store building.
As they had said earlier, the department store building was now overcrowded. The originally spacious counter in the first-floor lobby was packed to the brim.
Many people were bustling and shouting, demanding goods. Some even waved their cash, appearing very eager.
Due to the large number of people, many were queuing all the way to the side of the road outside!
"It seems the buzz is quite good."
Wang Yu chuckled.
At this moment, Wang Jin, who was looking at the scene with satisfaction in front of the department store counter, also cast his gaze upon Wang Yu.
"Oh ho? Isn't this Director Wang Yu from our automobile factory? Why are you here to buy things now?"
