When Bruce answered the last question seriously, Xiao Lingyu stood up and said with a smile, “Congratulations, Mr. Bruce. You have been accepted! I hope that we can work together happily in the future!”

Xiao Lingyu extended her right hand. After Bruce heard Xiao Lingyu’s words, he could not hide his excitement. He looked at Xiao Lingyu’s hand and was stunned. Then, he extended his hand and said with a smile, “President Xiao, thank you!”

They clasped their hands. In the future, they would be clasping the global market.

…

In the President’s office at Royal Forest’s China branch, when Peter saw the sales report and investigation report that his subordinate handed over, his face turned green and purple.

Suddenly, he angrily threw the report in his hand at his subordinate’s face and said in a loud and angry voice, “Is this the answer you gave me? Almost all of our market share in China has been snatched away? What are you doing? How could you make such a big mistake?”

His subordinate was reprimanded and scolded, and his expression was not good either. His face was unsightly, turning white and red. However, he did not dare to get angry and explained, “Mr. Peter, you can’t blame us for this. Most of our customers in China have been snatched away by a company called Green Fresh Supermarket.”

“What?” Peter became even angrier. He shouted angrily, “Are you joking with me? Our customers in China were snatched away by a supermarket? Royal Forest produces the best things in the world. It’s the world’s number one brand. Our food represents one’s noble status. Now, you’re telling me the Chinese has abandoned us for a supermarket?! If this gets out, everyone in the world will laugh their heads off.”

The subordinate knew that Peter didn’t believe him, and his face showed some helplessness and understanding.

Thinking back, when he first came to China, he was also shocked when he heard this news. After his investigation, he finally understood how difficult it had been for Mr. Bruce, the previous branch manager.

The Chinese were always focused on the matter of face. Therefore, those with power and wealth would always use stuff that would resonate with their high status. They would not care for the price. Therefore, luxury brands always had a big market in China.

However, they had acted differently. They abandoned brand product like Royal Forest to buy from a small local market. This was too surprising.

When the subordinate wanted to explain further, Peter suddenly asked, “What kind of supermarket is Green Fresh?”

His Chinese wasn’t very good. He couldn’t get much of an idea from the name.

His subordinate explained, “Green Fresh Supermarket is asupermarket that sells vegetables and fruits and other heavy agricultural products and agricultural by-products. The supermarket is actually not that big. Each shop is around 2,000 to 3,000 square meters. Most importantly, all the products in this supermarket come from a place called Taoyuan Village…”

Peter frowned.
