Jiang Cheng said, and on the other end of the phone, Director Lü opened his little notebook and started taking notes!

He was incredibly serious, more serious than when he was in school.

The way President Jiang talked about making money was the true way, and he had to learn it.

"Alright, that’s it for now."

Director Lü responded positively, assured her he would get it done, and then hung up the phone.

After Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, she thought about it and decided to head to Jing University.

This time, Jiang Cheng went directly to see the principal.

The principal’s office.

Jiang Cheng was warmly welcomed inside.

Principal Zhu shook hands with Jiang Cheng, invited her to sit, and even prepared to pour her some tea.

But how could Jiang Cheng allow the highly respected principal to do that? She humbly yet sincerely took the teapot and asked, "Principal, what kind of tea have you been drinking lately?"

"Anything is fine, you go ahead."

"Sure."

After Jiang Cheng made the tea, she poured a cup for Principal Zhu, and the two of them sat facing each other.

Principal Zhu looked at Jiang Cheng with a sigh and said, "Time flies. I still remember the day you graduated, a group of teachers and directors were crying in my office."

As soon as he mentioned this, Principal Zhu couldn’t help but laugh.

Jiang Cheng remembered too, and with a smile said, "Mainly because everyone liked me too much."

Principal Zhu smiled meaningfully.

"Yes, everyone really liked you."

Both of them understood that most of the teachers and directors appreciated Jiang Cheng for her capabilities, especially her ability to secure sponsorships at any moment.

At that time, as long as Jiang Cheng was around, the teachers never had to worry about organizing any events.

Unlike now, where the first thing they do when organizing an event is count the funds.

After drinking tea for a while, Jiang Cheng stated the purpose of her visit today.

First, it was to officially donate money.

Principal Zhu expressed sincere gratitude and then took on a protective demeanor, asking, "Who’s been picking on you?"

Jiang Cheng felt reassured in her heart.

"It’s not bullying, it’s normal business competition."

"Business competition is such a thing, today’s enemies may become tomorrow’s partners. It’s give and take; that’s what makes it interesting."

"The main reason I’m here today is to ask a few teachers to endorse something for me."

As she spoke, Jiang Cheng took out a shampoo test report from her backpack and handed it to Principal Zhu.

"This is a composition report of the shampoo from a cosmetics company under my name. Of course, you can re-test samples anytime, and I will fully cooperate."

"I’d like to ask a few teachers to endorse this test report for me."

Principal Zhu looked at the test report in front of him; it was full of herbal ingredients, safe and reasonable.

He put down the file.

"I trust you, are you asking for endorsement because some ingredients in the product are unsafe?"

Jiang Cheng hesitated with a slight hissing sound.

"It shouldn’t be harmful, just not beneficial with long-term use."

Principal Zhu understood.

"Rest assured, I’ll handle it for you."

"Thank you, Principal Zhu."

Jiang Cheng got up to take her leave, and Principal Zhu saw her out, looking at her with a sense of trust.

The responsibilities on their shoulders, passed on to such a young generation, were reassuring.

After leaving Principal Zhu’s office, Jiang Cheng didn’t leave immediately but went to the foreign language department to visit some teachers.

She brought along some food from her family’s factory for the teachers and stayed in the office for about half an hour before leaving.

In the following days, several events occurred.

First, many local public baths started giving out free shampoo.

Next, newspapers started featuring something called discount coupons, which reportedly allowed significant savings when purchasing related products upon clipping.

For a while, the sales of newspapers skyrocketed.

The newspaper companies that collaborated with Jiang Cheng were grinning from ear to ear.

Q Province, cosmetics factory.

Director Wang looked at the discount coupons that sales had brought back from the newspaper and admired, "Impressive! This promotional method is much more effective than just publishing in newspapers."

Just as Director Wang finished speaking, the foreigner sitting across from him on the sofa dismissively said, "This kind of method has been used in our country for ages."

"It’s just a discount coupon, what’s so new about it?"

Director Wang, unwilling to indulge him, said, "It may not be new, but it works."

"And since you know about it, why aren’t you using it?"

"The results are right there; with the launch of this discount, Jiang Cheng’s sales have skyrocketed. Their products are excellent, and once people get accustomed to them, it’s hard to switch."

The foreigner on the sofa scoffed.

"While their sales seem to be rising now, how is this any different from engaging in a price war with us?"

"If it’s about financial strength, Jiang Cheng is just a small company a few years old, incomparable to us."

Director Wang still disagreed.

"Yeah, Jiang Cheng just managed to beat Chase from the Rose family."

With one sentence, one fact, the man on the sofa finally had a change in expression.

"Chase was too dumb. I’m not him! Besides, how powerful can a woman be?"

Just as the man on the sofa finished speaking, another foreigner who had just walked in gave him a stern look.

"George, if you can’t think straight, you can go back. I don’t need a foolish partner."

George on the sofa, upon seeing who entered, pulled back his rather bold sitting posture somewhat.

The man who entered pulled out a chair opposite Director Wang and first apologized to Director Wang.

"Director Wang, I’m sorry, just ignore George."

"And... George, never underestimate a woman who survives and even stands at the peak in a world dominated by men. She is more formidable than anyone else."

Director Wang nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Ms. Jiang Cheng is indeed formidable!"

The reason he accepted the foreign investment was partly because the factory truly needed a way out, and another reason was that the man in front of him, Jack, had great insight.

Before their cooperation, Director Wang had said they could compete normally, but Jiang Cheng should not be targeted.

Chase from the Rose family was a living example.

Jack agreed wholeheartedly, expressing admiration and respect for Jiang Cheng.

Jack and Director Wang sat down to discuss strategies.

Jack specifically learned the Hua Xia language to communicate normally with Director Wang.

"Director Wang, we don’t intend to swallow Jiang Cheng’s company; the market is vast and can accommodate coexistence."

"I believe Jiang Cheng understands this too. Therefore, we are now building the initial impression of the products among consumers."

"At this time, whoever has the higher market share will have more competitive power in the future sales market."

Jack’s words won Director Wang’s approval, although he still hadn’t thought of a better solution.

"Mr. Jack, do you have any good ideas?"

Jack smiled confidently and nodded.

"Given the current situation, the other side is already powerful and coming on strongly. They could easily swallow our existing market. In other words, our odds against Jiang Cheng aren’t great at the moment."

"But like I said, the market is vast, and as the economy grows, it will only get bigger in the future. So how could such a big market have only two companies?"

Jack paused and took out a document, "I plan to introduce a competitor. As long as we can take one-third of the market together, we will consider it a win!"
