Chapter 380: Breaking Ten Thousand Laws with One Force

"Can scolding knock down the Torch Group, or can scolding the Torch Group's general manager Zhang Xiaocheng to death?"

Gu Ming looked at the group of people in the tea house private room who were usually fighting with each other. At this time, everyone looked indignant, but in fact, they were obviously unable to do anything about the Torch Group.

"Old Gu, everyone came here today to discuss a way out, otherwise they would really be sitting and waiting for death. You are the big brother in the industry, you have to come up with a charter!"

"Yes, Boss Gu, everyone listens to you. As long as you give an order, we have money to pay, and strength to contribute. We must not let the Torch Group have a good time!"

Someone in the private room opened his mouth, and the others also spoke one after another, claiming to follow Gu Ming's lead and listen to his dispatch.

Looking at the group of people in the private room, Gu Ming sighed. Although he knew that this group of people was all hypocritical, this time they united because they felt the threat, so they thought about uniting to fight with the Torch Group.

But if this group of people had today's awareness earlier, didn't fight in the nest on weekdays, and fought for a few cents of profit, now the lighter industry, where would there be any share of the Torch Group.

Domestic lighter companies, if they could unite, let alone the domestic lighter market, even the overseas lighter market could be pushed flat. Where would they fall into today's situation?

In fact, Gu Ming also felt that this group of old-school lighter manufacturers was facing a decline. Even if the Torch Group did not appear, I am afraid that other lighter manufacturers would emerge to compete with them.

Overseas, domestic lighter manufacturers were successively subjected to anti-dumping investigations by trade departments in places like America and old Europe, and were subjected to huge fines, tariffs, and even banned from selling locally.

This led to the fact that Gu Ming's lighter brands could not be sold overseas and could only rely on OEM for Japanese and American lighter manufacturers to exchange for revenue. OEM for others, compared to selling lighters by themselves, the profit is almost a world of difference!

But even if it was OEM, Gu Ming and the manufacturers in the private room were also fighting openly and secretly. In order to get more orders, they were desperately suppressing prices, and finally, they all cheapened overseas lighter manufacturers.

Gu Ming felt that even without the Torch Group, they, this group of old-school lighter manufacturers, would sooner or later roll themselves to death, and finally the market would either be snatched away by overseas lighter manufacturers or replaced by other companies!

But knowing where the problem lies and whether there is the courage to solve the problem are two completely different concepts. Now what is placed in front of Gu Ming and them is that it is really possible to have their rice bowls kicked away by the Torch Group!

Waving his hand, Gu Ming picked up the tea and took a sip, "You don't have to wear high hats for me. If you really let the Torch Group master the lighter export share, my company's lighters might not be sold, and you won't be much better off. Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. No one can run away from this pass!"

"Boss Gu, we all know, otherwise we wouldn't come here. Everyone who came here today, which company doesn't export hundreds of millions of lighters every year? If we really let the Torch Group pinch the lighter export rights, then we all won't be able to live!"

Someone in the tea house said. This time it is related to the rice bowls of this large group of them. Before, they were just worried that the Torch Group would become their opponent, but after the news of the Lighter Import and Export Association came out, what they had to consider was whether they would be pinched by the Torch Group. This is already a matter of life and death.

"Boss Gu, what plan do you have, just tell us. Here, it is your means that is the highest. If you have no way, everyone will not be able to live!"

"Yes, Boss Gu, you can't hide it anymore at this time!"

"Old Gu, we have known each other for many years. You say how to do it, and we will do it!"

Another burst of seven-tongued and eight-tongued voices came out. Gu Ming heard this and bit his teeth and said, "There are two methods, but everyone must do it together!"

"First, everyone must mobilize their respective relationships and connections to prohibit the Torch Group's products from entering where everyone's company is located. This is to express our attitude to the outside world!"

"Everyone's company personnel are not as many as the Torch Group, but we also have to eat, right? Can the Torch Group still domineeringly not let us eat?"

Gu Ming said, "The second point, the most critical one, is this Lighter Import and Export Association. Everyone must unite and sign a joint letter to the municipal government and the Economic and Trade Commission."

"This Lighter Import and Export Association must not fall into the hands of the Torch Group, otherwise everyone will have no retreat in the future!"

After discussing, a group of people dispersed with a bang, preparing to do it according to Gu Ming's method. For a time, the entire lighter industry was noisy, and the voice of opposing the Torch Group was even more rampant.

In the evening, Gu Ming, who was full of exhaustion, went home from the company and had a meal with his family. Gu Ming ate and chatted with his family from time to time, and his eyes glanced at the TV, watching today's News Broadcast.

Gu Ming now has a lot of net worth, and he is doing import and export business. He is more sensitive to industry dynamics and naturally has to pay attention to important news.

Most of the news was about to pass, and Gu Ming had also filled his stomach a bit. Gu Ming was thinking about the things to deal with after finishing the meal, when the two words "Hanxi" came from the TV, which instantly attracted his attention.

"The Torch Industrial Park, the largest in the country, has officially gone into production. This is currently the largest and also the largest lighter production base in Asia. The current maximum annual output value will exceed 1.5 billion yuan and can provide more than 60,000 employment positions."

"The Torch Industrial Park currently has a full lighter industrial chain cluster, with more than 170 lighter-related supporting and parts production companies, which can produce more than 200 kinds of parts for a whole lighter. The parts of the industrial park parts manufacturers are gathered and can be completed within 30 minutes."

"The Torch Industrial Park currently has more than 328 invention and application patents, and owns 21 exclusive patents such as high-temperature resistant materials and lighter safety locks, all of which are at the world's leading level."

"The second phase of the Torch Industrial Park will officially start next year. The Torch Industrial Park and the Torch Group general manager Zhang Xiaocheng claim that in the future, the Torch Group will complete the goal of an annual output value of 5 billion lighters, drive GDP to exceed 7 billion, and provide more than 200,000 employment positions..."

The news on TV was very short, adding up to less than 45 seconds, and the scene of the Torch Industrial Park that appeared was also a flash.

But Gu Ming looked at the TV in a daze. When the Torch Group appeared on such news, what it meant, Gu Ming didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Boycotting the Torch Group, fighting with the Torch Group, Gu Ming didn't think about it at all at this time. Just these tens of seconds, the sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes.

Plop, Gu Ming stood up and almost fell. Ignoring other things, he rushed to the study. Gu Ming picked up the phone and dialed it out.

After the opposite side connected, Gu Ming almost roared, "Get that damn joint letter back!"

"Tomorrow morning, no, today, announce now, our company is moving to the Torch Industrial Park!"
