Chapter 723: 248, The battle is in full swing_3
When Donnie approached Maholi, he hoped she would invest in Apollo Chain under the name of Cereal Empire Food Company. However, for the same reasons just mentioned, at that time, the board of Cereal Empire Food Company was not optimistic about Donnie’s ability to start up two thousand stores of Apollo Chain all at once and achieve success.
Therefore, the board of Cereal Empire Food Company rejected Maholi’s proposal and did not allow Cereal Empire Food Company to invest in Apollo Chain.
But both Maholi and Walker were very optimistic about Donnie’s decision, so in the end they chose to invest in their personal capacity!
Even though it was a personal investment, Maholi was still the president of Cereal Empire Food Company and had considerable authority, so this did not hinder the deep cooperation between Apollo Chain and Cereal Empire Food Company.
As for the board of Cereal Empire Food Company, they had no objections to this arrangement. After all, as members and high-level executives of the largest snack company in America, they all possessed an aristocratic mindset, which is that whatever they do, others should obediently applaud and cheer.
They were not worried about the collaboration with Apollo Chain affecting their partnerships with other retail companies.
...
For Kraft Foods, however, it was different. When facing a development bottleneck, the sudden rise of Apollo Chain dealt them another heavy blow. At this time, they could only seek new partners to get out of their current predicament.
A&P was undeniably the best choice.
Once Dustbog understood the situation, he developed new concerns.
“Boss, if what you say is true, and A&P has already unified their approach and started to fight back against us, how should I respond?”
Previously, they hadn’t anticipated A&P’s reaction, which led to them not further pressing A&P, but now A&P had begun to counter.
It was time for Apollo Chain to react.
“We can’t make the same mistake as A&P, the speed of response is very important!”
Dustbog reminded Donnie.
Donnie nodded; he of course understood Dustbog’s point. In fact, at that moment, Donnie had already thought of a counter-strategy!
“Proceed with our plan to start the second round of promotions. We can’t give A&P any time to react!”
Previously, Donnie had already held a meeting with the executives of Apollo Chain. Although A&P had not responded then, Donnie’s side was definitely prepared for all eventualities.
So Donnie had also planned the second round of promotions.
Now it could come into play!
“Secondly, investigate the specific details of the share swap between Kraft Foods and A&P for me. I have use for it!”
Donnie said with a smile on his face. He had thought that this promotional battle was just a fight among retail companies, but he hadn’t expected it to bring unexpected gains, which made Donnie very happy.
Looking at the smile on Donnie’s face, Dustbog couldn’t understand. Although Apollo Chain had made a name for itself with the seven-day promotional battle, dealing A&P a heavy blow, A&P’s foundation still existed. This promotional battle had essentially entered the final decisive phase. Why was his boss not the least bit worried, and instead, excited?
Although puzzled, Dustbog still faithfully nodded and proceeded to carry out the tasks entrusted by Donnie.
After Dustbog left, Donnie picked up the phone and dialed the Walker residence.
“Haha!” After answering the phone, Walker let out a hearty laugh, “Donnie, how do you still have the mood to call me at this time?”
Donnie retorted with a laugh, “Who’s looking for you, I’m calling your wife!”
“My wife?” Walker was taken aback, then said, “Then you’ll have to wait a moment!”
Soon, Maholi picked up Donnie’s call, and Walker sat in his office chair, curiously watching his wife talk on the phone with Donnie. After a short while, Maholi hung up.
“I have to go to Kansas City, are you coming with me?”
“To see Donnie?” Walker asked curiously.
Maholi nodded, “That’s right, Donnie just called, there is a business opportunity that perhaps we can discuss!”
Walker waved his hand, “Then I won’t go. The Block Building is now in a critical construction phase, and I need to stay in New York to oversee things!”
Maholi said, “That’s also good. I suppose you’ll need to handle some matters here in New York in a few days!”
Curiously, Walker asked, “What project are you and Donnie partnering on?”
Maholi conveyed Donnie’s proposal to Walker.
After listening, Walker couldn’t help but admire Donnie’s bold move, but still said, “To make this work, you should probably have a meeting with the board of directors, right?”
Upon hearing the words ‘board of directors,’ Maholi let out a scornful laugh, “Those people are full of regret now. They didn’t imagine that Donnie could make Apollo Chain known nationwide in just a few days. I think for this cooperation, they won’t raise any objections anymore!”
Walker laughed as well, knowing how difficult it had been for Maholi during the previous period. Now that Apollo Chain had finally opened and delivered an impressive sales performance, those who had opposed Cereal Empire Food Company’s investment in Apollo Chain were now hopping mad with regret for their shortsightedness.
Now with a better project for cooperation, indeed, those people would no longer object!

“I think not only will they not oppose, but they will also urge you to complete this cooperation with Donnie quickly!”
Maholi also showed a smile, saying, “However, I really must thank Donnie for this. If it weren’t for his suggestion, I truly wouldn’t have thought of this!”
