They spent a lot of money but accomplished nothing!
Robert looked left and right, feeling that recounting the past was pointless, so he asked:
"Have you heard? It seems that Baiyue has been in contact with senior executives at Guangyuan recently?"
"Are they really such a pair, one willing to sell and the other willing to buy?"
Chen Shengge invited the CEOs of these two rival companies to play golf, not just for relaxation and entertainment.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shengge glanced at Zheng Dake:
"Guangyuan's shareholding structure is still unclear, and it may be Shengjing that makes the move."
Zheng Dake hissed:
"Then the news is even more certain; it is indeed Shengjing who is negotiating with the Jiang family."
After Zheng Dake confirmed it, Chen Shengge and Robert, the remaining two, were no longer calm:
"If this really works out, then there won't be anything left for us, right?" Baiyue is coming on strong, and if it takes over Guangyuan's market and stores, what chance will they, as small and medium-sized chain supermarkets, have?
I'm afraid even getting a sip of meat broth will be difficult.
Zheng Dake also cursed his bad luck in his heart:
"If they actually reach an agreement, all the publicity and media expenses we've spent on it will probably be a complete waste. What's the point?"
Chen Shengge looked down on Zheng Dake's poor and shabby appearance:
"Is it really worth it for a few million? The real losses are yet to come."
"Once Baiyue's expansion is complete, what business do you have with us anymore? You might as well close down and go beg for money."
Zheng Dake was not happy to hear this.
The two almost started arguing, but Robert quickly intervened and broke them up when he came to his senses.
"What's there to argue about now? What's there to argue about?"
"The most urgent task is to figure out how to resolve Baiyue's expansion issue."
Seeing that Chen Shengge and Zheng Dake's gazes were both on him, Robert felt a momentary tremor, but ultimately managed to maintain his composure:
"If you ask me, this matter is going to be ruined even if it wasn't already."
Zheng Dake hesitated: "Even if it's ruined, can it slow down their expansion because of this?"
If you have Guangyuan, hurry up.
Even without acquiring Guangyuan's stores, Baiyue's progress would only be a year or two, or three or four years slower.
The price to pay for this is too high. Not only would Zheng Dake hesitate, but even Chen Shengge and Robert themselves would be undecided.
But now, Robert firmly said to Zheng Dake and Chen Shengge:
"Now, if we don't drag this out for another year or two, it's hard to say whether our three companies will still have a market in two years."
Although what Robert said was true, even such truths still made Chen Shengge and Zheng Dake gasp.
The two looked at each other, both displaying a desperate, reckless resolve.
"Okay, let's do it! Let's all tell each other what to do next."
This is something that no single company could accomplish alone; otherwise, Guangyuan wouldn't have been squeezed out and forced to exit the market first.
If they don't want to become the next "Guangyuan" by Baiyue, the three companies now need to show sincerity and cooperate.
Chen Shengge cursed and swore:
"What can we do? Guangyuan's stores can't fall into Baiyue's hands. If they want to sabotage it, they'll have to split it equally among the three."
"I can make this decision myself. What about your two families?"
Robert still needs to consult with headquarters, while Zheng Dake needs to go back and ask his father-in-law.
However, the seed of a solution has already been planted in everyone's hearts; it's just a matter of whether they want to band together and wait to die, or fight back.
The undercurrents surrounding Baiyue, Guangyuan, and many other domestic chain supermarkets are continuing to ferment.
Meanwhile, at the center of the storm, Lu Fan's place was calm and undisturbed, as if it had not been affected at all.
When he returned home, Jiang Manyue took the briefcase from him and asked him a few questions.
Just as Lu Fan was about to say something, his peripheral vision caught sight of the housekeeper, whose movements were slowing down.
This domestic worker was sent by a domestic service company that Lu Fan and his family had selected after moving from Jinghai City to Nanshan City.
Logically speaking, with Li Tian's review and screening, the company and its personnel should not have encountered any problems.
Lu Fan calculated the time since his family moved in and wondered if he was overthinking things.
But since he had taken notice, he couldn't simply pretend nothing had happened. So he continued talking to Jiang Manyue calmly, but he was constantly using the corner of his eye to scrutinize the slightly younger housekeeper.
He was a lean and capable young man. Jiang Manyue noticed that Lu Fan seemed somewhat distracted after returning home.
As husband and wife, and a model couple with perfect understanding, how could Jiang Manyue not notice Lu Fan's changes?
But she misunderstood Lu Fan.
Jiang Manyue thought Lu Fan was jealous!
However, she quickly broke free from her jealousy.
Lu Fan winked at Jiang Manyue, clearly noticing the change in her emotions.
The couple exchanged knowing glances in front of others, their eyes full of wit and subtle tension.
The aroma of food wafting from the dining room has already reached over.
Jiang Manyue smiled warmly and said, "Hurry up, we've been waiting for you."
With a gentle push, the housekeeper unconsciously moved closer as well.
