  Woodson Department Store headquarters, in a chairman's office on the top floor, David was standing in the center in a cold sweat, a man with a big belly leaning on the boss chair, smoking a cigar and holding the remote control of the TV.

   In the smoke, he squinted at David, who was still in a cold sweat, and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

   "Do we have this popular product in these small and medium-sized department stores?"

   "Yes... yes." David's breath was a little short.

   "If there is, why does it seem that only these small and medium-sized department stores are hot, but our department stores are deserted these two days? I want to know what is going on."

"This, we have similar products, and the sales results are actually very good. Our PN1 and PN2 game consoles, as well as Lierda's 2600, have sold hundreds of thousands of units and made a lot of money. ."

   "However, the products sold by these small department stores are not as popular."

   "No, it's not." David explained hastily.

   "This is because the game consoles sold over there have just released a new game, and they are so enthusiastic about buying the new game."

   "Games? What is that?" The director frowned, obviously he didn't know much about these things.

  As a director of a department store, he usually spends more time doing bigger business, and he only asks about the results, not the process.

   Originally, he was leisurely playing golf on the golf course yesterday, and chatting with some government officials and fellow executives.

   This is the social activity they usually do best.

   However, yesterday suddenly appeared a few uninvited guests that are rarely seen.

   They are the owners of several medium-sized department stores.

   These bosses are usually not unqualified to come here, but even if they come here, they will appear to be lower than their big bosses.

  The bosses of medium-sized department stores are also very knowledgeable and will greet them with a low profile.

   But yesterday, these bosses not only did not lower their posture to say hello, but instead showed a look like they were sitting on an equal footing.

   This made the chairman very puzzled.

   When did these mid-sized department store people float up again?

   Are they planning to join forces to compete with the big department stores?

   This is worth paying attention to.

   So he ordered his men to investigate the recent developments in these department stores.

   After that night, he learned something.

   These small and medium-sized department stores have made good profits recently.

   If it is a family or two, it is normal, but most of them are rapidly increasing their profitability, which is very unusual.

   On the other hand, looking at their department store, I glanced at the report and found that there was almost no progress.

   So he immediately investigated in detail what the reason was.

   As the chairman of the board, and a person who only focuses on results, it is very rare to want to investigate the specific reasons now.

   Eventually he learned that these small and medium-sized department stores were all selling a product that made them a lot of money.

   With money, they appear confident.

   When he understood all this, he had only one question.

   That is, does our company have the same product?

   But ask David, the company's head of business.

   Then the above scene happened.

  David was in a cold sweat, and he never thought that the chairman of the board would find out about the news of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

  Damn, why is this company moving more and more violently every time?

   Obviously they also sell similar game products, but they just can't compare with others, which is very uncomfortable.

  All the video games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are not worrying about selling as long as they are displayed, but the game consoles from Suri Electronics and Lierda they bought can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

   Several large companies were unable to suppress a small emerging company in Japan. He felt that Suri Electronics and Lierda were a little too wasteful.

   "Chairman, video games are an entertainment product, game consoles are like machines that play video tapes, and video games are like video tapes of movies and TV shows. Only good-looking ones are more popular."

   "So why don't we have the video games they're selling? Why don't we sell the video games that nobody buys?"

   "Also... it's not that no one buys it, it's just that there aren't as many people buying it as there are..."

   "David, please don't argue with me, you know me, I've never allowed my subordinates to fool me again and again, don't think I can't see that you are fooling me now."

   The pot-bellied chairman showed a gloomy expression.

   Being fooled by his subordinates is like a little brother playing himself as a monkey. He is also a big man who has been fighting for many years. How can such a thing be allowed to happen?

  David said quickly: "No no no, I don't think so, just..."

   "I just want to ask right now, why aren't we selling those hot products that department stores are selling?"

   "Because we weren't authorized by those companies," David explained.

   "Huh? A company that sells products doesn't go to the more influential department stores like us, but instead goes to those small department stores. Isn't it a bit wrong?"

  The chairman did not quite understand.

Seeing that it was over, David gritted his teeth and said, "They contacted us before, but we were influenced by those large companies, who threatened us that once we dared to sell this company's products, they would give up our relationship with us. contract of cooperation."

   The chairman frowned and asked, "Who threatened?"

   "There is Morgan Group, there is Suri Electronics, and there are several other relatively large electronics companies."

   Hearing this, the chairman eased a bit.

   This is a very reasonable reason.

   Several large companies obviously want to suppress a little brother, so in order to ensure continuous cooperation with large companies, it is normal to give up cooperation with a small company.

  Seeing that the chairman's expression softened, David breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said again: "Then, I can only follow their request not to cooperate with this small company, and I have no choice but to do so."

   "So it is." The chairman nodded slightly, and it was no wonder David.

   But he still said: "You contact this small company again, explain the reason well, and then sign a cooperation agreement with them."

   "Chairman, the threats from those big companies..."

"Hehe, when you don't have any interests, you can naturally listen to them. It's a way to sell their face, but now, why listen to them? They really dare to give up their cooperation with us? At most, we can only complain about a few words. He is the one who truly has the right to speak.”

   "Okay okay, I understand, I'll contact this company now."

   "Well, let's go." The chairman waved his hand and prepared to send David away. It was just a trivial matter.

   But at this moment, a subordinate who was the chairman's confidant quickly entered the office, glanced at David, and whispered a few words in the chairman's ear.

  David was about to leave when he suddenly heard a gloomy voice from behind: "David, wait for me."
