After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Gu Jinyan held the phone, his face terribly gloomy. The translator Xiao Li's intermittent voice came from the other end of the phone. Although the information was incomplete, it was enough for him to understand that a sudden storm was coming towards them.

"New environmentally friendly product standards?" Su Li's heart couldn't help but tighten, she knew very well what this meant.

Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. "It seems that we need to adjust our plan." Although his tone was calm, his eyes were unusually firm.

An emergency meeting was quickly held at the overseas branch of Gu's Group. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat side by side at the conference table, listening seriously to the translator Xiao Li's interpretation of the new policy.

"According to the new standards, some of our current products have certain gaps in environmental indicators and require technological upgrades before they can continue to be sold on the market." The voice of translator Xiao Li trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he also felt tremendous pressure.

"Technology upgrade..." Su Li repeated these words in a low voice, and various plans flashed through her mind. She knew that this not only meant a huge investment in research and development, but also the dual pressure of time and market.

"We must come up with a solution as soon as possible!" Gu Jinyan looked around at everyone and said firmly, "The market is changing rapidly, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

An intense and orderly work process began immediately. Su Li and Gu Jinyan quickly organized a team to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the company's products and screened out a list of products that needed technical upgrades. At the same time, they also began to actively contact local scientific research institutions, hoping to find suitable partners to jointly overcome technical difficulties.

Time was tight, and Su Li and Gu Jinyan worked until late at night almost every day. They consulted materials, analyzed data, and repeatedly discussed solutions with technical personnel, striving to find the best solution in the shortest time.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, these are the research institutes we have found that are relatively strong in environmentally friendly materials." The assistant handed a document to Su Li, "Among them, Institute A has the strongest technical strength, but their cooperation conditions are also relatively demanding..."

Su Li took the document and read it carefully. Gu Jinyan walked to the French window and looked into the distance. He knew that a new challenge had come, and they had to go against the wind to find new opportunities.

"Contact Institute A. We need to talk to them in person." Su Li closed the file and said firmly. Gu Jinyan turned around and looked at Su Li's determined eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. Institute A is located in a high-tech park in the suburbs. The environment is quiet and full of academic atmosphere. When Su Li and Gu Jinyan arrived, Professor Wang, the head of the institute, was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, welcome, welcome!" Professor Wang shook Gu Jinyan's hand enthusiastically, then turned to Su Li and nodded slightly, "I have heard of your name for a long time. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed as capable as any man!"

After the greetings, the two sides sat down in the conference room and started the formal negotiations. Professor Wang first introduced the latest research results of Institute A in the field of environmentally friendly materials, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Gu Group to jointly develop environmentally friendly products that meet the new policy standards.

However, the conditions for cooperation were more demanding than expected. Research Institute A not only required high technology transfer fees, but also made extremely high demands for future market share.

"Professor Wang, I'm afraid your conditions are difficult for us to accept." Su Li put down the cooperation agreement in her hand, her tone calm and firm, "Our Gu Group has always adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win, and we hope that both parties can find a more balanced cooperation plan."

The negotiations were at a stalemate. Gu Jinyan remained silent and just watched the confrontation between Su Li and Professor Wang. He knew that Su Li's business acumen and negotiation skills were no less than any business veteran.

After a heated debate, Su Li finally succeeded in convincing Professor Wang, and the two parties signed the cooperation agreement. After walking out of the gate of Research Institute A, Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

The road to technology research and development is full of challenges and hardships. In order to overcome technical difficulties, Su Li and Gu Jinyan often worked all night, looking up materials, analyzing data, and repeatedly discussing solutions with technical personnel. Under their leadership, the entire team was in high spirits and devoted themselves to research and development day and night.

"Mr. Gu, look, this is our latest environmentally friendly material, and all indicators meet the requirements of the new policy!" The technical director excitedly handed a test report to Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan took the report and looked at it carefully, with a gratified smile on his face. He knew that their efforts had finally paid off.

A few months later, Gu's Group successfully developed a series of environmentally friendly products that met the new policy standards and achieved great success in the market. Consumers praised these environmentally friendly and efficient new products, and Gu's Group's brand image was further enhanced.

At the celebration banquet, there were clinking glasses and laughter. Gu Jinyan raised his glass to express his gratitude to all the employees who contributed to the development of new products.

“This glass of wine is for our joint efforts and persistence!”

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face changed slightly... The bright lights of the celebration banquet shone on everyone's face, and the bubbles of champagne jumped in the glass, as if cheering for this hard-won victory. Gu Jinyan put down his phone, but there was no joy on his face. His brows were furrowed, and an invisible pressure enveloped him.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed his abnormality and asked softly.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "It's the Lin Group. They just announced the launch of a new environmentally friendly material. Its performance is better than ours and the price is lower."

Su Li's heart sank suddenly, and the wine glass in her hand seemed to lose weight. Lin's Group is Gu's Group's biggest competitor in the field of environmentally friendly materials. They have been committed to developing more advanced technologies to seize market share.

"It seems that we are happy too early." Su Li put down the wine glass, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The news spread like wildfire at the banquet, and the originally cheerful atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. The employees looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity and uneasiness.

Gu Jinyan looked around and took in everyone's reactions. He knew very well that in this fiercely competitive market, if he relaxed even a little, he would be surpassed by his competitors.

"Everyone," he said, raising his voice firmly, "I know that this news makes everyone feel heavy. However, we cannot be discouraged by this, and we must not give up! Although the products of the Lin Group are excellent, we also have our own advantages. I believe that as long as we unite and work hard, we will be able to overcome the difficulties in front of us and achieve ultimate victory!"

Gu Jinyan's words were sonorous and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline, rekindling the fighting spirit of the employees. They nodded one after another, their eyes full of firm belief.

However, Su Li's heart was still shrouded in a haze. She knew very well that the Lin Group was coming with great momentum this time and was not an easy target. Facing the strong pressure from competitors, they had to come up with a more effective response strategy.

"Jin Yan, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible." After the banquet, Su Li returned to the office and said in a serious tone.

Gu Jinyan nodded, walked to the French window, and looked into the distance with deep eyes. As night fell, the city lights were bright, but they could not cover up the smell of gunpowder in the air.

"You say, can we..." Su Li hesitated as a bold idea gradually became clear in her mind.

Gu Jinyan turned around and looked at her with burning eyes, "What do you want to say?"

"Can we..." Su Li took a deep breath, "launch a customized environmentally friendly product for a specific customer group?"

Gu Jinyan was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought...
