In the chairman's office on the top floor of Woodson's department store headquarters, David stood in the center dripping with cold sweat. A man with a big belly was leaning on the boss's chair, smoking a cigar and holding the remote control of the TV.

In the smog, he squinted at David who was still sweating, and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Do we have this product that is popular in these small and medium-sized department stores?"

"Yes... yes." David breathed a little shortly.

"Since there are, why do these small and medium-sized department stores seem to be hot now, but our department stores have been deserted these two days? I want to know what's going on."

"Well, we have similar products, and the sales performance is actually very good. Our PN1 and PN2 game consoles, as well as Lierda's 2600, have sold hundreds of thousands of units and made a lot of money. .”

"However, they are not as popular as the products sold by these small department stores."

"No, it's not." David hurriedly explained.

"This is because the game consoles sold there have just released a new game, and they are so enthusiastic about buying the new game."

"Game? What's that?" The director frowned, obviously he didn't know these things very well.

As a director of a department store, he usually spends more time on bigger businesses, and only asks about the results, not the process.

Originally, he was leisurely playing golf on the golf course yesterday, chatting with some government officials and fellow executives.

This is what they usually do best at social activities.

However, a few uninvited guests who usually seldom appear suddenly appeared yesterday.

They are the owners of several medium-sized department stores.

It's not that these bosses are not qualified to come here, but even if they come here, they will appear to be inferior to the big guys like them.

The bosses of those medium-sized department stores will also be very tactful, and will greet them with a low profile.

But yesterday, instead of lowering their stance to say hello, these bosses showed a look of equality.

This made the chairman very puzzled.

When did this group of medium-sized department store people float up again?

Are they planning to unite and compete with large department stores?

It's worth paying attention to.

So he ordered his men to investigate the recent developments in these department stores.

That night, he learned something.

The recent profits of these small and medium department stores are very good.

It's normal if one or two companies are better, but most of them are rapidly increasing their profitability, which is very unusual.

On the other hand, looking at their department store, I took a cursory look at the report, but found that there was almost no progress.

So he immediately investigated in detail what was the reason.

As the chairman, but also a person who only pays attention to results, it is very rare to want to investigate the specific reasons now.

Eventually he learned that these small and mid-sized department stores were selling a product that made them a lot of money.

With money, they appear confident.

When he understood all this, he had only one question.

That is, does our company have the same product?

But that's a question to ask David, the company's business director.

Then the scene above happened.

David was sweating coldly, he never expected that the chairman of the board would still find out about Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Damn it, why does this company become more and more violent every time?

Obviously they also sell similar game products, but they just can't compare with others, which is very uncomfortable.

As long as all the electronic games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are on display, they will not worry about selling them at all, but the game consoles of Su Rui Electronics and Lierda they bought can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Several large companies were unable to suppress a small emerging Japanese company. He felt that Su Rui Electronics and Lierda were a bit too useless.

"Chairman, video games are an entertainment product, and game consoles are equivalent to machines that play videotapes, and video games are like videotapes of movies and TV shows. Only good-looking ones are more popular."

"Then why don't we have the video games they're selling? Why aren't we selling the video games that people buy?"

"Also... It's not that no one buys it, it's just that there are not as many people buying it as there..."

"David, please don't argue with me. You know me. I would never allow my men to fool me again and again. Don't think I can't see that you are fooling me now."

The potbellied chairman had a somber expression.

To be fooled by his subordinates is like a younger brother playing himself like a monkey. After all, he is also a big shot for many years. How can he allow this kind of thing to happen?

David quickly said, "No, no, I don't think so, it's just..."

"I just want to ask now, why aren't we stocking those popular products that department stores are carrying?"

"Because we have not been authorized by those companies." David explained.

"Huh? A company that sells products doesn't go to our more influential department stores, but to those small department stores. Isn't that a little bit wrong?"

The chairman didn't quite understand.

Seeing that this was the case, David had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "They contacted us before, but we were influenced by those large companies. They threatened that if we dared to sell the products of this company, they would give up our relationship with us. contract of cooperation."

The chairman frowned and asked, "Who threatened?"

"There is Morgan Group, there is Surui Electronics, and there are several other relatively large electronics companies."

Hearing this, the chairman eased up a bit.

This is a very reasonable reason.

Several large companies obviously want to suppress a younger brother, so in order to ensure continuous cooperation with large companies, it is normal to give up cooperation with a small company.

Seeing the relaxed expression of the chairman, David breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said again: "Then, I can only follow their request not to cooperate with this small company, and I have no choice but to do so."

"I see." The chairman nodded slightly, and it's no wonder David.

But he still said: "You can contact this small company again, explain the reason well, and then sign a cooperation agreement with them."

"Chairman, the threat from those big companies..."

"Hehe, when you don't have any interests, you can naturally listen to them. It's a way to sell them. But now, why listen to them? How dare they give up our cooperation? At most, it's just a few complaints. Our department store is He is the one who really holds the right to speak.”

"Okay, I understand, I will contact this company right now."

"Well, you go." The chairman waved his hand and prepared to send David away. This is just a trivial matter, and it's nothing to worry about. It's good to explain it clearly.

But at this moment, one of the chairman's confidantes quickly entered the office, glanced at David, and then came to whisper a few words into the chairman's ear.

David was about to leave at this time, but suddenly heard a gloomy voice from behind: "David, wait for me."
