Chapter 445 Business Turning Points !
Amidst the throngs of industry professionals and curious onlookers, Liu Yong, a seasoned entrepreneur with a keen eye for opportunities, found himself at the epicenter of a brewing storm. With a subtle, concealed grin, he watched the unfolding drama, his heart dancing with excitement.
The epicenter of the exhibition was an audacious bet—one that had captured the collective imagination of the industry. Liu Yong, a shrewd observer, couldn\'t help but revel in the anticipation that hung in the air. He concealed his inner jubilation, but it was a near thing; the corners of his mouth threatened to break into a smile.
To Liu Yong, the outcome of this bet was no nail-biter. The secret weapon in their arsenal, the mysterious black alloy, was the linchpin of their confidence. While its origins remained cloaked in obscurity, one thing was abundantly clear—it had the potential to elevate ordinary alloy knives to the status of extraordinary cutting tools.
Zhu Xiangsheng, the General Manager of Yanguo District for March Alloy Cutting Tool Group, was, however, blissfully unaware of this game-changing revelation.
In Liu Yong\'s eyes, the outcome was as clear as day. The trajectory of this wager had been set in motion, and it was a trajectory that led to an undeniable victory. March Alloy Cutting Tool Group, with its reputation on the line, was destined to retreat from the domestic market.
March Alloy Cutting Tool Group had, in recent times, been relentless in its quest to penetrate Yanguo\'s market. It had set its sights on local alloy cutting tool companies, and the sight of their withdrawal from the market would be a victory beyond measure.
As the two central figures of this unfolding drama, Han Guang and Zhu Xiangsheng, stood side by side, cameras and mobile phones were trained on them. Their voices were steady, their intentions unwavering.
In unison, they declared, "Voluntarily, we engage in a PK—a battle of precision and innovation. Two machines, processing identical parts, will determine the victor based on superior tool quality and the quantity of parts processed."
In perfect harmony, they continued, "In the event of my loss," Zhu Xiangsheng stated with an air of bravado, "March Alloy Cutting Tool Group will fully withdraw from the Yanguo market."
Han Guang, unwavering in his resolve, followed suit, "Should I face defeat, Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group shall gracefully exit the domestic cutting tool market."
The video recorded and the pact sealed, Zhu Xiangsheng couldn\'t help but wear a smug grin as he walked away. In his mind, victory was imminent, and the thought of Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group\'s retreat was nothing short of exhilarating.
On the other hand, Han Guang maintained a serene composure, his confidence a beacon of steadfastness in the stormy sea of anticipation.
As the spectators mulled over the bet\'s implications, Liu Yong couldn\'t resist offering a touch of sage counsel. "Han Guang, you may have given away a tad too much."
With a quizzical look, Han Guang inquired, "What do you mean, Brother Yong?"
Liu Yong, ever the strategist, elucidated, "It\'s straightforward. We possess the enigmatic black alloy—a game-changer in its own right. The knives we manufacture with it are light years ahead of any imported alloy knives. Victory against March Alloy Cutting Tool Group is practically assured."
Suddenly, the room lit up with the spark of realization in Han Guang\'s eyes. A gentle pat on his own forehead, and he admitted, "Brother Yong, your insights are invaluable. The withdrawal of March Company from our domestic market was an inevitability waiting to happen."
Liu Yong couldn\'t help but chuckle. "Indeed, this bet is a win-win for you."
As the day wore on, Liu Yong found himself savoring a cup of coffee in his office, his gaze transfixed on his mobile phone. The internet was a-buzz with news about the 11th Alloy Knives Exhibition, and it seemed that Zhu Xiangsheng had pulled out all the stops to ensure the bet garnered maximum attention.
Liu Yong, attuned to the ebbs and flows of the industry, noted that Han Guang hadn\'t expended a single penny on this publicity blitz. Nevertheless, he was convinced that Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group\'s black alloy knives were poised for meteoric rise in popularity.
Intrigued by the unfolding events, Liu Yong delved deeper into the online buzz. By the afternoon, he noticed that the story had evolved into a trending topic. Zhu Xiangsheng had undoubtedly invested considerable effort and resources into this endeavor.
Liu Yong couldn\'t help but marvel at the rapid progression of events. The popularity of Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group\'s black alloy knives was set to soar, and soon, legions of knife enthusiasts and businesses would be clamoring to secure their own black alloy supplies.
With a satisfied grin, Liu Yong drifted into slumber that night, knowing that the tide was turning in favor of black alloy knives.
The following day marked the grand opening of the 11th International Alloy Cutting Tool Exhibition at the Huahai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
As the day unfolded, attendees flocked to the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group and March Alloy Cutting Tool Group exhibition areas, captivated by the palpable tension and intrigue surrounding the impending showdown.
Internet celebrities, bloggers, and prominent figures in the industry converged, armed with mobile phone holders to capture the action for their online audiences. A flurry of media reporters, microphones and cameras in tow, joined the throng.
Both Taishan and March groups began their preparations for the ultimate showdown. It was clear that this PK had become the center of attention.
"Have you seen the knives at Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group\'s booth? All black and gleaming!"
"This must be their new product; they\'ve got the confidence to challenge March Alloy Cutting Tool Group."
"Take a look at this, it\'s a new kind of alloy knife. They even have detailed promotional materials."
The Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group\'s exhibition area was undoubtedly the more animated of the two. After all, this was China, and the fervor was palpable. Live streaming had already begun.
"Good morning, everyone. It\'s 9:35 AM, and Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group is now commencing their processing. Both machines are up and running. I\'ll be live-streaming the entire process."
Dozens of live streamers were in action, two renowned hosts rallied the crowd, adding momentum to the proceedings. The anticipation was electric, and the event had all the makings of an industry-defining moment.
As the day wore on, the anticipation reached its zenith. The exhibition area of Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group was alive with the hum of activity. Bloggers, influencers, and media outlets clamored to get the best angles, capturing every moment of the impending showdown.
