Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Facing Opposition_1

"Indeed naive enough, high standards do not necessarily mean high quality. Isn’t it embarrassing to fail to meet your own standards?"

"This guy will go out of business sooner or later. Just wait and watch the joke unfold!"

Ever since the domestic milk powder industry began, the standard has been set by foreign countries.

Because they have a complete grading system and top-notch product strength.

They also hold the dominant discourse in the industry.

Decades have passed, and countless people have attempted to challenge this standard, but all have failed.

So much so that now, people seem to have accepted the foreign standard by default.

Even when promoting their own milk powder, some claim to be certified by foreign standards.

As if it were a gold-lettered signboard.

But in reality, that’s exactly the case—consumers really do recognize this gold-lettered signboard.

Want to challenge it?

As tough as ascending to the heavens!

Not to mention other industries, in the milk powder industry alone, it’s unheard of for any domestic enterprise’s milk powder to sell well abroad.

On the contrary, many foreign milk powders, even those produced in Dragon Country and not purely imported, are enthusiastically sought after because of their foreign heritage.

The domestic milk powder industry has always been in a suppressed state.

Some people even add excessive chemical elements to the milk powder in order to meet foreign standards.

This eventually led to the disaster in the milk powder industry.

In the end, it was because the technology couldn’t keep up with the standards, and they resorted to tricks.

And that disaster almost completely destroyed the credibility of domestic products.

It caused foreign brands to flood in more crazily.

Domestic brands still have to rely on foreign standards to win consumer affection.

Every year, they have to pay a large amount of fees to foreign brands.

Gradually, everyone has become accustomed to being controlled by others.

They’ve also lost the ambition to compete and are living on the charity of foreign brands.

No one ever thought about setting their own high standards and even turning these standards into the norm for the entire industry.

Yet, in this environment, Xinmeng Group burst in like a naive newcomer.

They established a product standard completely different from those abroad.

So high that it even surpassed that of any foreign dairy enterprise.

Unfortunately, this approach was like stirring up a hornet’s nest, as if it disturbed the harmony of the industry.

Instead of admiration and respect, what they received was suppression and mockery.

Those distributors who were originally planning to cooperate with Xinmeng Group, who had even preliminarily signed agreements and were ready to make a big play, were also stunned.

They started to feel anxious.

Because many dairy enterprises sent warning letters, saying if these distributors sold Xinmeng Group’s milk powder,

They would stop supplying them,

And cut off cooperation with the distributors.

This was a very frightening matter.

Unless it’s an exclusive store, distributors typically do not sell milk powder from just one or two brands,

But many.

Because everyone follows a standard, so there is harmony, and although there is competition, it does not usually become so severe or even come to a showdown.

Now, they were actually uniting to suppress Xinmeng Group.

The distributors had no choice but to give up on cooperating with Xinmeng Group.

They couldn’t afford to offend the big players, just to earn money from Xinmeng Group.

After all, the best-selling milk powders on the market today are still foreign brands,

As well as those that follow foreign standards.

Those distributors couldn’t afford to provoke them.

"Sigh, what a pity. I actually quite liked Xinmeng Group, heard that their milk powder is of good quality and sells well in Jiangnan Prefecture.

Why did they have to do this, to actually challenge the establishment of industry standards.

How much had they drunk?"

"Yeah, if only they had eaten a few peanuts, they wouldn’t have become this drunk!"

"These industry standards have always been formulated jointly by foreign dairy companies.

Coming up with a new set would mean offending all the foreign dairy companies,

as well as the domestic dairy companies that follow these standards.

Is there still a way out?"

"Why the hell are you messing around? You’ve really got a screw loose!"

Actually, the distributors had a lot of trust in the quality of Xinmeng Milk Powder.

They trusted the Xinmeng Group as well.

But they unanimously believed that Xinmeng Group had no power to challenge the old rules.

Anyone who broke these rules was bound to be punished,

and Xinmeng Group would be no exception.

Distributors who were about to sign an agreement with Xinmeng Group gave up on the spot.

Those who had tentatively signed agreements gathered together at the Tianhai branch of Xinmeng Group, seeking an explanation.

Their message was simple: even if you want to participate in the establishment of standards, you should wait until you become a big shot in the industry,

someone no one dares to underestimate.

Trying to set rules this quickly is pure madness.

You haven’t even learned to walk yet, and you’re trying to run; it’s just absurd and ignorant.

If Xinmeng Group insists on not heeding advice, they would rather pay a penalty fee than continue to cooperate with Xinmeng Group.

Nobody’s money is easily earned; they don’t want to take on this immense risk.

In the meeting room, the noise and chatter were endless.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

"Chairman Jiang, to be honest, I was very confident about Xinmeng Group.

You have an excellent reputation in the southeastern coastal areas, and I was willing to work with you.

But the establishment of industry standards is not something a single company can decide; it needs to be a joint effort.

You are just starting out, have no resources, and doing this will only bring significant trouble to Xinmeng Group," one distributor said.

"Yes, Chairman Jiang, it’s not that we don’t want to help you.

But you’ve already incurred public wrath now. If we sell your company’s products, we can no longer sell products from other companies.

Ah!"

"Why bother doing this when consumers prefer imported milk powder, followed by foreign brands,

and then those brands that have passed foreign standards?

By doing this, you’re not only offending other dairy businesses but also failing to win consumer recognition!"

"Previously, we had also established industry standards, but now they are virtually useless; consumers don’t recognize them, so what’s the point?

Wouldn’t it be better to just follow others until we grow bigger and stronger, and then discuss the establishment of standards?"

People were voicing their opinions and suggestions one after another.

The truth was they didn’t want to cancel their cooperation with Xinmeng Group; they just wanted Jiang Meng to stop chasing such unrealistic plans.

It’s not only unrealistic, but it also creates resentment.

The standard had just been set, the products hadn’t even hit the market yet, and there was already overwhelming opposition from many dairy companies, even boycotts.

How could this ever lead to success?

In the end, it would be a futile effort, like a wasted endeavor gaining nothing.

What’s the point?

"Chairman Jiang, as someone who has been through it, I must say you’re too young.

Don’t let some foreigners muddle your mind.

Their approach might work overseas, but it may not be applicable here in our country."

This was the beginning of the attack on Valdi.

"It’s okay to offer suggestions, but if anyone attacks Mr. Valdi again, don’t expect me to be polite!"

Du Musheng slammed the table angrily and said, "A foreigner, Mr. Valdi, came all this way to Tianhai just so our children could have a safe milk powder to eat.

Is this the way to speak of him?

It’s utterly disheartening!"
