Chapter 376: Forming A Conglomerate

That evening, Tang Hao sat in his office.

Thank you readers!

In front of him were Liu Yan, Lin Fuquan, and Yao Qing.

The three people were the managers of Haotian Co. Ltd., Masculine Wind Co. Ltd., and Divine Liquor Company respectively.

"We have to come up with a solution, President Tang. Tai An must be sabotaging us. They won't give up that soon."

The person who spoke was Lin Fuquan. He was in his forties, the perfect age for a man to be ambitious. He wore glasses and looked like a gentleman.

Tang Hao nodded.

If the situation continued, both Haotian and Masculine Wind would be affected.

The two companies needed many medicinal herbs for their products. The plantation supplied the herbs that were rarely found in the open market, while they relied on external supplies for the more commonly found herbs.

Unfortunately, the latter took up the larger proportion. If their supply was affected, it would greatly affect the output of the two companies.

"All we can do now is to outbid them. However, Tai An has stronger finances. We'll still be at a disadvantage if the fight draws out," Liu Yan said.

Tang Hao thought for a while. "We'll just outbid them for now. It's fine if we make fewer profits. We can handle that."

He paused for a while and continued, "This incident has also exposed our greatest weakness, that is, our supply of medicinal herbs. We'll have to find other ways to solve this."

Liu Yan and Lin Fuquan nodded in agreement.

"How about this, President Tang, we should set up a company that specifically supplies medicinal herbs to our other companies. We have four plantations now, all supplying us with rare herbs. We can simply set up more.

"We don't need any special planting conditions for the more common herbs. Even untrained farmers could plant them. We can recruit more farmers to plant the herbs for us and we can purchase directly from them," Liu Yan said.

"That's a good idea!" Lin Fuquan said, "Medicinal herbs are the lifeblood of our companies. We need to control our supply."

Tang Hao thought about the proposal for a while and eventually nodded.

"That's a good idea. We'll set up a company immediately! As for the name... we'll also call it Haotian. Haotian Plantations Co. Ltd.," Tang Hao said decisively.

After deciding on that, Tang Hao spoke to Yao Qing.

After more than a month, the liquor factory was almost complete.

Divine Liquor was special. It did not require brewing, which meant that its production saved a lot of time and factory space. The factory did not occupy a large area and the construction was also relatively fast.

In that period, Yao Qing's main task was marketing. He generated hype for Divine Liquor, which meant that the product was already popular even before the factory was complete.

At night, Tang Hao had dinner with Liu Dajun and the other bosses at Beyond Heavens Restaurant. He told them about his intention to start a plantation company to supply the other companies with medicinal herbs.

"Lil Tang, now that the companies are all on track, don't you think that it's time to group them together? Haotian Group. That sounds so cool, right?" Liu Dajun said.
