Chapter 423 Are you jealous?
Hearing her voice, Gu Mobai finally let go of her hand.
He gasped, pointed at Zhou Jun on the ground and warned: "Remember, next time I see you at Panpan's door, you will be in trouble!"
Lin Weihua, who was hiding nearby, shuddered as he watched. After Gu Mobai walked away, he approached Lin Panpan and asked in a low voice, "Panpan, tell the truth to your third brother. Does he usually hit you at home?"
Lin Panpan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Weihua, with a bit of anger in her eyes:
“Do you think your sister is someone who sits back and waits for death?
Gu Mobai will never hit me, don't worry, go back quickly."
The air pressure in the car was terribly low, and Gu Mobai's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel.
Lin Panpan tilted her head to look at him, then reached out and poked his tense cheek: "Are you angry?"
"Why should I be angry? I'm not angry." Gu Mobai sneered and turned his head to avoid her touch, but his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Lin Panpan's eyes lit up with a smile, and she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Are you jealous?"
This time, there was an even longer silence. The man stared stubbornly ahead, his eyelashes trembling nervously.
"I didn't expect him to come to my house after getting drunk!"
Lin Panpan grabbed his arm and shook it: "You can't blame me for this! I didn't even look at him for a second."
Gu Mobai suddenly turned his head, his eyes full of grievance:
"Look at me day by day, I go to your hospital and see someone courting you, and then I run into your ex-husband here.
Do you think I can be in a good mood?"
Lin Panpan didn't wait for him to finish, she wrapped her arms around his neck and placed a warm kiss on the corners of his red eyes: "I don't like them, they are the ones who are pestering me. You are the only one in my heart from beginning to end."
Gu Mobai let out a muffled groan, stretched out his hand and pressed her hard into his arms, rubbing his chin against the top of her head:
"If you really give them the chance, I'm afraid I'll go crazy.
What are you thinking about? I will depend on you for the rest of my life."
Gu Mobai then looked at her and said, "Wife, let's go home..."
Lin Panpan has been very busy recently. Opening a department store naturally requires suppliers, but after asking more than a hundred suppliers, not a single one was willing to supply them.
"Auntie, don't waste your energy. The few time-honored brands I visited today, as soon as they heard it was us, they didn't even let me into the factory." He threw the wet letter of intent on cooperation on the table.
"They made it clear that they had signed an exclusive agreement with Deng Xiaoyan long ago, and anyone who dared to breach the agreement would be banned from the entire business district."
Lin Panpan grabbed a stack of crumpled quotations and rubbed them repeatedly in her palms. "Hundreds of suppliers, and all of them are monopolized by Deng Xiaoyan alone?"
Lin Feng loosened his tie and slumped onto the sofa, grabbing his thermos and taking a swig. "It's all over the business world right now that anyone who touches Lin's Department Store is tantamount to opposing the Deng Group."
He gave a wry laugh, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the sides of the cup. "A boss privately said that Deng Xiaoyan said that if anyone supplies us, she'll buy out their entire annual production capacity at three times the price."
Lin Panpan frowned and asked, "Is Deng Xiaoyan so powerful?"
When Zhang Xiang swaggered into the office, Lin Panpan was worrying about the table full of supplier information.
She quickly called the man over:
"You've come just in time! Have you found out everything?
What kind of background does Deng Xiaoyan have? How can she control all the suppliers?"
Zhang Xiang sighed and sat down on the chair:
“I’ve inquired about it, and this woman is not someone you can easily mess with.
I heard that she has a special relationship with the higher-ups, so no one in the business circle dares to offend her.
I advise you to hide if you can."
Lin Panpan smiled helplessly: "I can't hide anymore. I've already started a fight with her. Now I'm thinking about how to solve the supply problem."
"It's difficult!" Zhang Xiang shook his head.
"Someone came to warn me that if I dared to supply you, I would be banned as well.
In this situation, I feel powerless.”
Before Lin Panpan could say anything, Lin Feng got anxious and shouted at the top of his voice, "Zhang Xiang! You can't let us down when we're in trouble!"
Zhang Xiang explained with a bitter face:
"It's not that I want to escape, I just can't afford to offend those people.
This is all I can do, so don't count on me."
Lin Panpan stopped Lin Feng who was about to argue and said, "Forget it, don't embarrass him. Zhang Xiang is telling the truth."
She stared at the department store plan on the wall and gritted her teeth:
“It’s just supplying goods. If we don’t have suppliers, we can open our own factory and produce them!
I can run a machinery factory, so why should I be afraid that I can’t handle this?
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. As long as you have things in your own hands, no one can stop you! "
Lin Panpan has been in business for so many years and knows too well what it feels like to be strangled by suppliers.
Sometimes partners who appear to be brothers on the surface may be more ruthless than anyone else in tripping you up behind your back.
Even if they sign up a bunch of suppliers, if there is a problem with the products, the department store will have to take the responsibility and clean up the mess in the end.
Now that Deng Xiaoyan had done this to her, she suddenly realized that instead of asking others for help, it would be better to do it herself.
Although building your own factory requires a lot of money in the early stages, there is no other way.
She counted on her fingers and realized that department stores in the 70s mainly sold fabrics, ready-made clothes, daily necessities, cosmetics, and stationery. The better ones also sold bicycles.
As she thought about it, Lin Panpan's eyes lit up. The factory was already making cloth, so if they added a few sewing machines and hired some female workers, it would not be difficult to make clothes.
She has studied cosmetic formulas and it is cheaper to mix them herself.
As for bicycles, even tractors can be made, so this technology is no problem at all.
There are also daily necessities such as bags, enamel pots, and thermoses, which can all be made with the factory's technology and workers.
Thinking of this, she felt more at ease.
Just bite your teeth:
“Why not do it all by yourself! From fabrics to garments, from cosmetics to bicycles.
We have all the supply in our own hands, let's see who can still strangle us!"
Zhang Xiang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh anxiously:
"My dear aunt! Don't let your imagination run wild! How many things do I need to prepare to open a department store?
Take making clothes for example, they have to have nice designs. Who would buy them if the quality is not good?
How can you make things like cosmetics and soaps just by saying it?
Department stores also sell televisions and electric fans. How do you make these appliances?
Don't be impulsive. Let's slowly look for suppliers and go to other places to find the head office, right?"
Lin Panpan shook her head and said firmly:
"Even if we go to another place to look for him, Deng Xiaoyan will still cause trouble if she finds out.
Instead of worrying about it, it’s better to do it yourself. If others can do it, I can do it too!"
Zhang Xiang rubbed his hands anxiously:
“This isn’t just about making one or two things!
Department stores have to sell hundreds or even thousands of products, so where can you find so many technicians?"
"Who said I can't do it?" Lin Panpan straightened her back:
"I have to take things one step at a time. I have a few months now, so I'm going to start with something simple.
Please help me find out where there is a large factory. I want to buy it.
As long as there's space, equipment, and workers, I can find a way. Rather than being held back by others, it's better to take the initiative into my own hands!"
