Chapter 762: 757 Management’s difficulties

And just like that, the atmosphere within the room instantly became somewhat awkward. Everyone fell silent, making Gu Chen seem like a clown.

When the chairman saw everyone’s attitude, his face also became somewhat angry.

"Did you not hear what I said?" he asked. "I asked you to welcome Mr. Gu warmly."

The chairman hadn’t expected that his words would go unheeded by everyone, or that they simply wouldn’t care, still looking at Gu Chen with such hostility.

This made Gu Chen’s face extremely awkward, and even left him unsure of what to say, as if anything he might say would be wrong. So at that moment, he could only fall silent, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Gu, on behalf of the entire management team and the company’s shareholders, I would like to ask you a question," someone suddenly said to Gu Chen, appearing from nowhere.

After hearing this, Gu Chen looked on curiously. He didn’t know what kind of question this person might have.

But he could vaguely guess that it probably wouldn’t be a good one.

That was obvious from the look on the face of this person, who seemed to be filled with hostility toward him.

If that was the case, then Gu Chen could more or less imagine what sort of situation he was facing.

"I would like to know what you plan on doing in our company following your return," the person asked Gu Chen, sounding as if he were conducting an interview.

Gu Chen just smiled faintly in response.

"I am planning to use the company’s platform to launch some of my wines.

Of course, the company’s launch will have costs, and we can work together to share the profits. I will take out a portion of the profits to give to the company.

I guarantee that the company will not incur any losses because of this," Gu Chen said directly and candidly.

However, after he said this, it seemed like the few members of the company’s management team present weren’t very interested in the profits that Gu Chen talked about.

"Mr. Gu, what are you thinking? Do you think our company is lacking money?" the person sneered and asked.

Gu Chen found this question strange. When had he ever implied that the company was short on money? He had clearly been discussing a matter of partnership, so how did it become this way in his hands?

This left him momentarily unsure of what to say. He wondered if the problem lay with what he had just said, or with this person’s hearing.

"I have never said your company is short on money. I was simply saying I can work with the company on a small business deal," Gu Chen said, still very patiently.

He felt that he was there to discuss a partnership, not to argue over such pointless matters.

So there really was no need for him to get too angry over this right now.

But even after Gu Chen had tried to explain himself, this person still seemed unsatisfied.

"Mr. Gu, are you aware that what we care about at Maotai Liquor isn’t how much money we can make each day? What we really care about is only one thing: How to improve the quality of our current products.

I’m very curious to know, your so-called liquor, what kind of guarantee do you have? Has your quality been assured?

Are you sure your liquor won’t encounter any issues during use? Have you thought this through?" the person asked, sounding almost like an interrogator.

Gu Chen did feel somewhat disgruntled, albeit not to a significant extent.

But given the current situation, he wasn’t going to say much else.

After all, he was there to seek partnership, not to escalate conflicts.

He still had the patience to bear with it and didn’t lash out, merely listening attentively.

But if one knew Gu Chen well, they could tell that he was verging on the edge of explosion.

"I do have some knowledge of your company, including your marketing strategy. I think I’m quite clear on a lot of things," Gu Chen said, nodding his head.

If he weren’t familiar with the company, he wouldn’t have come here in person. Since he had come, he was prepared.

Whether it was from what he knew of the company in his past life, or in this life, Gu Chen had some experience with the company.

At that moment, the chairman spoke up.

It seemed like he didn’t want the topic to continue in this vein.

"Let’s first take a look at the product, shall we? Stop jumping to conclusions here," he said seriously.

Clearly, he was more on Gu Chen’s side, so he directed his remarks accordingly.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected that under these circumstances, the chairman would still stand by his side.

Gu Chen then opened his backpack and took out all the liquor bottles he had prepared in advance.

As soon as he brought out his liquor, the eyes of the management team were immediately drawn to it—

including that of the chairman.

They all looked on curiously, as if viewing a novel toy.

This was especially true when they saw the packaging on the liquor bottles; they were puzzled for a moment.

It appeared they did not understand why the liquor was packaged in such a way.

They even felt a noticeable skepticism.

Was this really liquor? Looking at the flamboyant design, they doubted whether it would be accepted, questioning its authenticity compared to traditional liquor—a small bottle that also felt odd to the touch.

At that time, the management team unanimously voiced a negative opinion on Gu Chen’s product, appearing dissatisfied with the item.

Only the chairman seemed to notice something different at that moment. He picked up the liquor bottle and scrutinized it carefully.

"Mr. Gu, if I’m not mistaken, the main selling point of your liquor is the packaging, right?" the chairman asked after some consideration.

Gu Chen was quite surprised to hear the chairman’s words.

A chairman indeed—an individual capable of perceiving the crux of the matter amidst a chaotic situation. Unlike the others, the chairman was truly astute and intelligent in business.

Since his strategy had been seen through, Gu Chen did not continue to hide anything and straightforwardly replied.

"Yes, the true selling point of our liquor lies in its packaging."
