Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

I looked up suddenly, my heart in my throat. "What happened?"

The person who came was Liu Qiang, who was in charge of external relations at our base. He was sweating and panting as he said, "Sister Jinli, it's bad. Our contracts with several cooperatives have been cancelled. They... they want to cooperate with Shengshi Agriculture!"

"What?!" The conference room was in uproar. Shengshi Agriculture is a recently emerged agricultural company with strong strength and aggressive momentum. It has always been our biggest competitor.

I suppressed my anger and asked calmly, "What's going on? Didn't we sign the contract? Why did they break it?"

Liu Qiang wiped his sweat and said anxiously: "I don't know either! This morning they suddenly called and said they wanted to terminate the cooperation, and also said...they also said that Shengshi Agriculture offered a higher price and better conditions..."

"This is too much!" Lin Xiao slammed the table and said angrily, "They are competing maliciously!"

Bai Hanchuan's face also darkened. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that Shengshi Agriculture has planned this long ago. They are trying to cut off our support and cut off our retreat!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became extremely solemn, and everyone felt a huge pressure. I knew that if the raw material supply problem could not be solved in time, our planting base would be paralyzed and all previous efforts would be wasted.

"Everyone, don't panic!" I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Now that things have come to this, we can only think of ways to solve the problem. Liu Qiang, you immediately contact those cooperatives and ask them what happened to see if there is any room for recovery. Lin Xiao, you immediately organize people to find new raw material suppliers in the market, and make sure to ensure quality and quantity."

"Okay!" Liu Qiang and Lin Xiao agreed in unison, turned around and hurriedly left the meeting room.

I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan, and saw that his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were shining with determination. I held his hand and whispered, "Don't worry, we will definitely get through this."

Bai Hanchuan held my hand with his backhand and gave me an encouraging look. He knew that what I said was not comfort, but determination.

In the following days, we worked almost non-stop. Liu Qiang ran around and finally persuaded several cooperatives to continue to cooperate with us, but the quantity was far from enough. Lin Xiao also found several new suppliers, but the prices were relatively high and the quality was uneven.

Just when we were in a state of panic, a phone call came on my cell phone.

"Hello, are you Ms. Mu Jinli?"

"I am, are you?"

"I am..." The other party's voice was a little hoarse, but with an inexplicable majesty, "You can call me... old friend."

"Old friend?" I asked doubtfully, "May I ask who you are?"

"You don't need to care who I am. I called you this time to tell you..." The other party paused and lowered his voice, "I know the details of Shengshi Agriculture..."

My heart trembled and a premonition arose.

"them……"

"What happened to them?" I asked impatiently.

"In order to suppress you, they did not hesitate to purchase low-quality raw materials from some illegal vendors at low prices," the old friend's voice was low and powerful, "Moreover, they also bribed some officials to investigate your base, trying to find your loopholes and completely defeat you!"

I gasped. These despicable means were totally inconsistent with the positive image that Shengshi Agriculture had portrayed on a daily basis! I clenched my fists, and a raging rage burned in my heart. It seemed that this contest was no longer a simple business competition, but a contest between justice and evil!

The old friend continued, "I have handed over the evidence of Shengshi Agriculture's crimes to the relevant departments, and I believe there will be results soon. In addition, I have found some helpers for you. They are all experts in agriculture and can help you improve the quality of your products and overcome the difficulties."

I was so excited that I quickly thanked my old friend. After hanging up the phone, I immediately told Bai Hanchuan the good news.

"Great!" A long-lost smile finally appeared on Bai Hanchuan's face. "It seems that we are really going to survive this time!"

In order to stabilize the market share, Bai Hanchuan and I personally visited several key customers. We sincerely explained the current difficulties to them and promised to resume supply as soon as possible and provide better quality products. The customers were moved by our sincerity and expressed their willingness to continue to cooperate with us.

Experts introduced by old friends also came to the base soon. Some of them were experienced retired gardening masters, and some were young scholars in the field of botany. They worked tirelessly and unreservedly to impart their knowledge and experience to us, helping us to introduce advanced production equipment and management experience.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the production efficiency and product quality of the base have been significantly improved. We have proved our strength with practical actions and won the trust of more customers.

Just then, my cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, are you Ms. Mu Jinli? I am..."

"Hello, is this Ms. Mu Jinli? I am..." The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and steady, with a bit of unquestionable majesty.

"It's me, who are you?" I wondered who would call at this time.

"I am the chairman of Tianlu Pharmaceutical, my last name is Zhao." The other party said straight to the point, "I have seen your base's project report on the cultivation of medicinal flowers, and I am very interested. I hope to meet with you to discuss cooperation."

Tianlu Pharmaceutical? That's the leading company in the domestic pharmaceutical industry! I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm. "Hello, Chairman Zhao. It's an honor to have your attention. We very much welcome you to visit our base for inspection and guidance."

After hanging up the phone, I excitedly told Bai Hanchuan the good news. Tianlu Pharmaceutical's strength and resources are what we need most at the moment. If we can reach a cooperation, the development of the base will surely reach a new level.

A few days later, Chairman Zhao personally led a team to our planting base. He carefully inspected the environment, equipment and planting technology of the base, and had in-depth exchanges with our technical team.

"Ms. Mu, your base has an excellent environment, advanced technology, and a professional team." Chairman Zhao spoke highly of our base, "I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Finally, after several rounds of negotiations, the planting base and Tianlu Pharmaceutical officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. We will jointly develop new medicinal flower products, and Tianlu Pharmaceutical will be responsible for the research and development, production and sales of the products.

This cooperation has injected strong financial and technical support into the base. We have introduced more advanced planting equipment and technology, and hired a number of experienced medicinal plant experts to start cultivating new varieties.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Bai Hanchuan and I stood on the observation deck of the planting base, looking at the prosperous scene in front of us, with our hearts filled with pride and infinite longing for the future. In the base, various medicinal flowers are blooming, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance. Workers are busy shuttling among them, with faces filled with the joy of harvest.

"All of this is so hard-earned." I felt filled with emotion.

Bai Hanchuan gently held my hand, his deep eyes full of tenderness and determination, "As long as we work together, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward."

At this moment, my cell phone rang, a strange number...
