There is no smoke of gunpowder in business struggles, but they are more treacherous, dangerous and cruel than real guns and swords. The Wen family, which once could not stand in the capital, lost half of its empire that it had run for many years in just a few days. The loss was heavy, which made everyone sigh.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the misfortune that befell the Wen Group is closely related to the recently thriving Li Group. To put it bluntly, it was just a means of commercial competition.
However, the Li Group was more capable, while the Wen Group was one step behind and became a stepping stone for others.
At the same time, the grievances between the Wen Group and the Li Group were also reported.
Everyone remembers that the Wen family had an adopted daughter who was raised for twelve years as if she were a real bloodline. That was Xia Ruya, who was formerly the illegitimate daughter of the Xia family and has now become the heir of the Li family.
The grudge between Xia Ruya and the Wen family is well known to everyone in the upper class. Xia Ruya caused a lot of trouble in the capital at that time, and every incident is still fresh in people's memory.
When Xia Ruya is mentioned, almost all the news is negative, and most people dislike her.
Even if Xia Ruya became the noble heir of the Li family, this could not be changed.
The Wen Group has always had a good reputation in the business circle, which contrasts with the Li Group, triggering a wave of negative criticism that Xia Ruya is ungrateful and a complete ungrateful person.
But the truth is cruel.
The Lee Group was on the rise and was unstoppable. The more it was cursed, criticized and despised, the more famous the Lee Group became, the higher its stock price rose and the greater its market share became.
This is probably the topic hype effect commonly used in the entertainment industry.
Chu Jingnan asked curiously, "As far as I know, those shopping malls have been cooperating with Wen's Group for many years, and they have a good personal relationship with Mr. Wen. What conditions do you use to impress them and make them willing to cooperate with you to fight against Wen's Group?"
Although there are countless profit-seeking people in the business world, those shopping malls are the Wen Group's closest partners. This is a well-known fact in the upper class. If there is not enough interest, who would be willing to risk a reputation of being unkind and unjust by attacking a partner with whom they have cooperated for many years
"In the business world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. I gave them three times more entry price than the Wen family. Moreover, they are very sensible and know that the Wen Group will collapse under the suppression of the Li family. Why would they damage their own interests for the sake of so-called friendship?"
However, Xia Ruya did not tell Chu Jingnan that she had previously approached more than a dozen shopping malls that wanted to cooperate with the Wen Group, but some of those people rejected her for face, some for reputation, some for so-called righteousness, and some for ridiculous feelings.
In the end, only three shopping malls agreed.
However, although there are only three companies, they are enough to deal a heavy blow to the Wen Group and let Mr. Wen taste the feeling of betrayal.
Chu Jingnan held her in his arms and couldn't help but praise her: "Your grasp of human nature is indeed so thorough that I can't help but admire you."
Chu Jingnan was telling the truth.
Compared to Xia Ruya who is good at grasping human nature and manipulating people's hearts, he is more skilled in meticulous thinking and careful calculations.
The two of them complement each other.
Xia Ruya chuckled: "It's just driven by interests."
She thought she was somewhat scheming, but when it came to business methods, she was far inferior to Chu Jingnan. This could be seen from the fact that Chu Jingnan had successfully taken control of the Xiao Group in just over a month after joining the group.
Chu Jingnan smiled and changed the subject: "What are you going to do next?"
This time, Xia Ruya acted quickly, ruthlessly and accurately. Before the Wen's Group could react, the clothing market had collapsed across the board. The group lost half of its long-established business, and the foundation of the group was severely damaged, making way for the Li's Group.
Even he couldn't help but sigh at Xia Ruya's ruthless methods and deep scheming.
Without thinking, Xia Ruya sneered and said, "Of course we should strike while the iron is hot and continue to attack the Wen Group. That old man Wen Zhihang actually dared to threaten me."
She really didn't dare to go to court with the Wen Group, nor did she really dare to continue to cause trouble by using Lu Bingxin.
But, so what
Even without Lu Bingxin, she could still destroy the Wen Group.
Chu Jingnan said: "The Wen Group is now in the spotlight. Mr. Wen is just tough in words. He may not really dare to go to court with you."
In his opinion, the shrewd Mr. Xiao is not as courageous as Mr. Wen, but the so-called courage is based on premises and foundations. Now that the Wen Group's foundation is half destroyed and it is caught in the huge crisis of Gu Yihan's drug abuse, he does not think that Mr. Wen will still have that kind of courage at this time.
Xia Ruya shook her head. "Anan, his reputation as a decisive killer in the upper class is not just a rumor. I have been the daughter of the Wen family for twelve years, and the adopted daughter for three years. I know what kind of person he is better than anyone else. He gave up his daughter after raising her for twelve years, and sacrificed his own son. Do you think he is just being tough?"
In this world, no one knows Wen Zhihang better than her.
He deceives the world with a false appearance, as if others are always the ones who are wrong.
At the beginning, it was the Wen family who took her back, but eventually abandoned her. However, he put on a hypocritical act of deep affection between grandparents and grandchildren, and sanctimoniously asked her to return to the Wen family. He knew very well that she would never agree, and then he gave her money to get rid of her with a high-sounding excuse.
Do you think a few bucks can make her grateful to the Wen family
It's so hypocritical.
Chu Jingnan thought about it and felt that what she said made sense: "It seems that Wen Zhihang is more difficult to deal with than the old man of the Xiao family."
The old man of the Xiao family has too many concerns and calculations, so he is not to be feared. However, Wen Zhihang is a man of courage and decisiveness, and he is really difficult to deal with. If they want to deal with the Wen family, they will have to go through some twists and turns.
Xia Ruya snorted coldly, "Wen Zhihang cares most about the huge Wen family business, so I want to destroy the Wen Group and make him regret choosing Wen Wenya over me. Wen Wenya schemed against me just for the Wen family business, but I wanted to make her work hard and end up with nothing."
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, her resentment towards Old Man Wen and her hatred towards Wen Xinya were like maggots attached to her bones, gnawing at her body and mind, making her feel miserable every time she thought about them.
Only by letting them endure this terrible pain could she relieve the hatred in her heart.
"Don't worry, the best is yet to come."
