Chapter 394 Competitors
In the following years, the industry's reputation became more and more famous, and various large orders poured in. The industry finally ushered in a golden period of profitability.
Lin Chuyi did not choose to take back the money he earned, but instead asked the industry leaders to invest it in the expansion and operation of the industry, leaving it to them to dispose of it freely.
In other words, after so many years of business career, Lin Chuyi has not received any operating dividends from various industries. All she owns are various real branches, factories, and the current scale distribution map of the overall industry.
Fortunately, the industry leaders she personally selected are all trustworthy people, and each of them has extraordinary abilities.
They always followed Lin Chuyi's instructions and carefully managed various industries. Time passed quickly, and ten years passed in a flash. Each of them submitted an amazing report card to Lin Chuyi.
The "Lulutong" project, which Lin Wu is in charge of, has now been successfully expanded to 43 state capitals of Da Chu, and its coverage area even exceeds half of Da Chu's land area.
Lin Wu expects to complete the entry and development of the remaining twenty-one state capitals within the next three years, making Lulutong the first nationally accepted transportation brand and a veritable leader in the freight industry.
As Lulutong became more and more prosperous, it was naturally targeted by powerful people. However, Lin Wu was no pushover. He had received a hint from Lin Chuyi earlier, suggesting that he could take action against those people and guide them to guess that his background was from a secluded family.
Lin Wu understood Lin Chuyi's intention and did as he said. After finding out the mastermind who targeted Lulutong or coveted Lulutong, he went to kill him alone.
After knocking down the opponent's guards, he directly picked up the bloody sword, put it against the neck of the mastermind behind the scenes, and began his intimidation show.
Lin Wu smiled and told the other party that this was just a small warning and only injured people but not killed anyone. However, if he dared to target Lu Lu Tong again, he would kill everyone in his mansion the next time he came.
Lin Wu was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he swung the sword in his hand. Where the sword flashed, cracks instantly appeared on the ground. These cracks quickly extended outward like a spider web, covering the entire yard in the blink of an eye. There was not even a single intact floor tile to be found.
This astonishing scene stunned everyone present, and an indescribable fear and awe surged in their hearts. They finally realized that Lin Wu really had the power to easily destroy all of them.
Lin Wu had been paying close attention to the other party's every move. When he saw a look of horror on the other party's face, he knew the time was ripe.
So, he raised the scabbard without hesitation and hit the man's head accurately, knocking him unconscious. Then, Lin Wu put away his weapon as if nothing had happened, and turned away leisurely.
This simple and crude way of revenge, although a little crude, was very effective. Those who had ulterior motives were frightened and gave up the idea of harming Lu Lu Tong.
Lin Wu didn't use this method very often, because soon Lin Chuyi returned to everyone as the eldest princess.
Lin Chuyi used her position and power as the eldest princess to actively promote the progress of various affairs. One of the most important measures was the establishment of the Business Alliance.
The establishment of the Merchant Alliance had a direct and far-reaching impact on the development of Lulutong. As the nominal boss of Lulutong, Lin Wu was also invited to attend the first Merchant Alliance meeting initiated by the Princess.
After the meeting, Lin Wu immediately responded to the eldest princess' call and led Lu Lutong to join the business alliance founded by the eldest princess, becoming the third official member of the business alliance after the eldest princess and Qian Laiye.
Since then, Lulutong has had the support of the princess, and rumors of its powerful and mysterious background have been circulating privately. From then on, Lulutong embarked on a road of rapid development.
In the early stage, Lulutong was almost the only one in the world. Although its industry scale was still small at that time, since Lulutong was the only industry in the market that mainly engaged in freight business, it was equivalent to monopolizing the entire market.
This situation not only aroused the covetousness of some powerful people, who attempted to bully others and directly snatch this piece of fat meat, but also attracted the attention of a large number of wealthy businessmen with strong financial strength.
These wealthy businessmen did not intend to take over Lulutong. With years of business experience, they had a keen insight into the huge profits that the logistics industry could bring. What they wanted to do was to create their own freight brand and compete with Lulutong in the freight field.
A wealthy businessman named Hu Kang quickly put his idea into action and opened a transportation station called "Yangyangxing" at a place far away from the Lulutong branch station.
Yangyangxing is also engaged in the logistics industry, and its business model and operating principles are as high as 70% to 80% similar to those of Lulutong!
Hu Kang did this mainly for two reasons. First, he wanted to open a store to test the waters and, through actual operation, gain a deeper understanding of how much profit he could make from it.
The second reason is to find out Lulutong’s attitude towards this matter and to observe whether Lulutong, which currently holds a monopoly position, will allow others to open similar stores around it.
If the other party is firm and refuses to back down, he can simply stop in time. After all, it is just a short-term rental store, so even if there is some loss, it doesn't matter.
If the profits brought by the freight business exceeded or even met his expectations, then he would have another option, which was to open new stores in areas where there was no trace of Lulutong. There was no need to compete with Lulutong to the end here.
Someone was the first to stand up, and the others who were ready to make a move suppressed their thoughts and chose to wait and see. Their ideas were exactly the same as Hu Kang's, and they all planned to observe Lu Lu Tong's attitude first, and then make the next arrangements according to the situation.
The deliverymen at the local Lulutong branch station soon noticed the existence of Yangyanghang. Without any hesitation, they immediately reported this important news to the person in charge of the branch station.
The head of the branch station was well aware of the importance of this matter. After careful verification and confirmation that the news was correct, he wrote a letter to Lin Wu without delay and told Lin Wu the whole story in detail.
After Lin Wu received the news, he did not panic or rush to take action. Instead, he chose to treat it calmly and put the matter aside for the time being.
Because he knows in his heart that this day will come sooner or later, what he needs to do is not to suppress his competitors and stop their development, but to face up to his own competitiveness and continue to expand the influence and coverage of Lulutong to make it a leader in this industry.
So Lin Wu wrote in his reply letter, telling them not to pick a fight with others and just to do their own job well.
The local person in charge and a group of deliverymen were somewhat puzzled by Lin Wu's decision, but no one dared to go against his decision. They could only suppress their uneasy hearts and continue to work step by step.
Perhaps the emergence of Yangyangxing made them feel a sense of crisis. When delivering goods and receiving customers afterwards, their attitude became better, which invisibly increased customers' favorability towards Lulutong. This was also an unexpected surprise.
The wealthy businessmen waited for more than a month and saw no sign that Lulutong had any intention of targeting Yangyangxing. They understood the attitude of Lulutong as the head of the family and immediately became active.
In the area where the branch station is located, and even in other surrounding areas, seven or eight freight shops with different names appeared in a short period of time. They also started offering low prices to attract customers in the name of opening activities.
