Chapter 1037: Shooting Yourself in the Foot

Translator: Lonelytree 

After hearing what Macon said, the expressions of the branch company’s presidents turned ugly. Their faces were red and green. They were angry and embarrassed.

One of them stood out and said sharply with an angry expression, “Mr. Macon, we don’t agree with what you said. This is not a problem of our ability at all. It is clearly a problem with product quality.

“Green fresh group snatches not just one or two business,. Wherever Green Fresh Group goes, our Group’s business will definitely be snatched. This is an indisputable fact. If it’s just one or two businesses being snatched, I have nothing to say if it’s just one or two branches! The problem now is that all the branch company’s business has been snatched. That’s basically a problem of the head office!”

These branch companies’ presidents were actually quite aggrieved.

In the past, the Royal Forest Group relied on its century-old reputation and its reputation as the number one brand in the industry. Wherever it went, it would always be full of vigor. Those top-tier nobles and celebrities would rush to work with them. They did not need to worry about the number of businesses and the total sales.

But now, ever since the appearance of the green fresh group, they had begged their former customers not to stop working with them. But it was all useless.

The biggest reason why they could maintain their existing customers and business was not that the green fresh group could not snatch them away, but that the green fresh group did not have so many sources of goods. Naturally, they did not need so many customers.

The president of another branch also stood out and said angrily and doubtfully, “In the past, the Green Fresh Group snatched our business only to compete for the high-end market. I heard that their supply is limited. Although our losses are huge, at least we can still preserve the middle-end market and some high-end market customers.

“However, since last week, for some reason, the green fresh group, which has always been short of supply, increased its supply. Not only did it steal most of the high-end market customers, but it also stole the middle-end market customers.

“Therefore, the business of Royal Frest Group is simply on a downward trend!”

“What did you say just now? The green fresh group has always been short of supply, so they only compete with us for the high-end market?” When Macon asked this question, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

“That’s right!” The president of the country Y company nodded with some doubt.

Macon looked at the others and continued to ask, “What about your side?”

The presidents of the other branches all nodded and said, “It’s the same.”

Then, someone said, “Just like what Ming Wei said, from last week, green fresh group suddenly increased their supply, which led to them competing with us for the middle-end market. Now, not only are we going to lose the high-end market, but I’m afraid we’re going to lose the middle market as well.”

Hearing their words, Macon’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he asked in a somewhat anxious tone, “Are you sure it started last week?”

Last week, wasn’t that when Green Fresh Group’s nationwide supermarket shutdown started?

Before this, he had been gloating over the green fresh group’s nationwide store shutdown, which would definitely cause a backlog of products. Once a backlog of products was built up, it would cause great losses, especially for these fruits and vegetables. They were not easy to preserve and were easy to rot.

Hearing the tone of Macon’s voice, the branch presidents looked at each other again, not knowing what Macon was thinking.

Everyone nodded unanimously and said, “We are very sure that from last week onwards, the green fresh group suddenly increased the supply of goods. With sufficient supply, our mid-market will be greatly threatened!”

Hearing their answers, Macon seemed to have suffered a huge blow and sat back in his chair. The expression on his face changed unpredictably, and he found it difficult to speak.

“Is that so?”

He seemed to have only reacted now.

Looking at Macon’s dejected look, these branch company presidents suddenly became even more puzzled and strange. He seemed to have suffered a huge blow all of a sudden.

However, he was clearly fine just now. Why did he suddenly suffer a huge blow?

Then, someone carefully asked, “Mr. Macon, are you alright?”

Macon didn’t say anything. He just looked coldly at the person who asked the question. Then, he waved his hand and said, “I’m fine. All of you leave now. I want to calm down for a while!”

Hearing Macon’s words, these subordinates felt even more strange and puzzled.

They had never thought that Macon was a boss who was easy to talk to. So why did he suddenly stop the lecture and chase them out?

Most importantly, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had been hit hard.

Now, the question came. They had been talking normally before, but why had he suddenly been hit hard?

Although they had these questions, they were very sure that Macon would not answer them, so they took these questions and went out.

When these people went out, the veins on Macon’s face kept moving as if they were crawling green insects, looking very ferocious and terrifying.

He was so angry that his entire face was distorted. His hands gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, and his fingers were about to sink into the real leather. His fingertips were faintly white.

After a moment, he cursed angrily, “Damn it! Bastard!…” a series of curses came out of his mouth. There was no one else in the office, and no one knew who he was scolding.

However, he could not shut his mouth and curse. He suddenly stood up and pushed the tea set, phone, and stack of documents on the table that had just been replaced. All of them were pushed down at once.

Clang!

Crack!

Bang!

All sorts of things were smashed!

The subordinates who hadn’t gone far heard the commotion and felt even more strange.

They all whispered, “Macon is angry again, but what’s strange is that this time, he’s not targeting anyone!”

“Yeah, he actually chased us away. Don’t you guys think it’s too strange!”

“Yeah, I think it’s too strange. Previously, when Macon suddenly asked us to come out, I thought it was strange.”

“But, why did Macon suddenly become so strange?” Someone asked in puzzlement. “Just a moment ago, he was clearly angry at us!”

“Oh, right, I remember now. It seems that this happened after Macon asked us about the increase in Green Fresh Group’s supply last week. After he heard last week, his expression suddenly changed, right?”

“Yes, it seems so. When he heard the word ‘last week’, his expression immediately changed.”

“This is strange. At this time last week, is there anything wrong?”

“Who knows!” Someone shrugged and said with some curiosity, “Last week, the Green Fresh Group suddenly increased its supply and started to compete with us for the mid-market.”

At this point, this person said with puzzlement, “Didn’t I hear that the green fresh group’s supply has always been low? Why did they suddenly increase their supply last week?”

“Yeah, I also feel that it’s a little strange. I heard that Green Fresh Group started off in the high-end market. Why would they suddenly compete with us for the middle-end market?”

No matter how his subordinates outside guessed, Macon was enraged.

He never expected that what he thought was a perfect plan would actually have such a big drawback to them.

He had shot himself in the foot!

Macon was remorseful!
