Chapter 514: Chapter 247: Shen Yun’s Charm

Dafeng Economic Development Zone, Yuan Youwei Food Factory.

Fifth floor of the administrative office building, in the conference room.

It was time for Yuan Youwei’s weekly executive meeting.

The executives were lined up on both sides of the conference table, listening intently. Shen Yun stood at the head of the table, her expression stern.

Ordinarily, with Lin Shen, she might be a charming and seductive woman, striking all sorts of provocative poses to entice her young lover.

But in front of her subordinates and employees, as the general manager of the food factory, she naturally had to project the authority of a leader.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to command respect from those under her.

That was why Shen Yun was usually very serious during meetings, enough to give the cold and aloof Qin Yuenan a run for her money.

"Some time ago, the pet food workshop began production. After a two-day trial run, the current output is only meeting 70% of its target."

"Of course, this is understandable. We just modified the production line, we have few new employees, and the veteran workers aren’t familiar with the new process yet."

"However, I expect that within the next half-month, we will reach 100% of our production target—or even surpass it!"

"Also, I’m planning to open a second pet food production workshop during this period. Wang, you will be in charge of it again."

"Yes, President Shen."

Having been called on, Wang immediately stood up from his seat to Shen Yun’s left. But after nodding in agreement, he didn’t sit back down right away, hesitating several times as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, the highly perceptive Shen Yun quickly understood that Wang had something on his mind. She gently prompted him.

"Wang, you’ve been with me for eight or nine years now, through thick and thin. Just say what’s on your mind."

"Alright, President Shen. I have a concern, but I’m not sure if I should voice it."

Wang chose his words carefully before asking in a low voice.

"For this workshop conversion, are you planning to convert our oldest workshop into another pet food production line?"

"Yes."

"But... will we really have that many orders?"

Wang felt his words might be out of line, but for the long-term success of Yuan Youwei, he still offered his opinion.

"The orders we have right now can be fully supplied by the newly built pet food workshop. We even have a surplus capacity."

"If we expand the pet food production line further, won’t the cost be too high?"

"I understand your concern."

Shen Yun smiled gently.

"It’s true that our current orders can be handled by a single workshop. But based on our projections for order growth, one workshop will not be enough to meet future demand. That’s why I’m preparing in advance, to prevent us from being overwhelmed by a surge in orders."

"I have no intention of letting anyone else take a piece of this profit. If we have the capacity to take it all, we should eat as much of this cake as we possibly can!"

"But will there really be that many orders?"

Wang scratched his head and gave a wry smile.

"Shennan Pet Industry, our partner, has been getting a lot of buzz lately. I see their ads all the time under various pet blogger posts online."

"But they’re a new company, not even two months old. It’s impossible for them to bring in that many orders, right?"

"It’s precisely because they’re a new company that it’s possible."

Shen Yun explained with a mysterious smile.

"Established companies that have been around for years have already reached a plateau in their order volume. Unless there’s an event like Singles’ Day, their orders won’t increase much."

"Only new companies have the potential for an explosion of orders! The reason is simple. They haven’t fully established their sales channels yet, and their product listings haven’t been ’warmed up’ with traffic."

"Even so, just with the small number of orders from their current product showcases, they can already balance the supply and demand of one entire workshop."

"If they expand their sales channels in the future, build their reputation, and define their customer base, the number of orders will surge at a terrifying rate."

"A volume that large definitely can’t be supported by a single workshop, which is why I plan to convert the second workshop’s production line."

"But..."

Although Shen Yun was painting a beautiful picture of the future, making grand and tempting promises, in Wang’s eyes, she was still speaking in vague generalities.

’After all, he’d been skeptical from the start about switching from processing food for people to processing food for pets. To him, it was clearly shrinking their target customer base!’

If it weren’t for the large batch of orders they had received, Wang would have been the first to raise his banner in opposition.

And now, Shen Yun wanted to convert a second workshop. The cost involved was a minor issue in comparison.

If they couldn’t recoup the investment, it would directly impact the operations of the entire food processing plant.

Hundreds of people could lose their jobs!

Like Wang, 70% of the executives attending the meeting had reservations about Shen Yun’s decision.

If she weren’t the founder of Yuan Youwei, everyone would have been clamoring in protest long ago.

Their silence was only out of respect for her.

As for the remaining 30%, they were Shen Yun’s loyal followers. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to call them her sycophants.

After all, Shen Yun was the quintessential wealthy woman. Not only was she rich, but her face and figure were also impeccably maintained; you would never guess she was in her forties.

Thus, she was a goddess in the eyes of many middle-aged men.

After all, young girls are a dime a dozen, but a wealthy woman like her is one in a million!

Not to mention Shen Yun’s exquisite, curvaceous hips, wrapped in a form-fitting skirt, which were the center of attention wherever she went.

Therefore, many of her subordinates were her ardent followers. ’It doesn’t matter if your decision is right or wrong; we’ll follow you no matter what!’

This was why Wang didn’t dare say more, only hinting indirectly to remind Shen Yun that the pet industry was a difficult business and that she needed to weigh her options carefully.
