Zhao Ye was just about to leave work when Wang Anshi called.
"Boss, something's happened! Wang An Company is suing us for dumping our products and unfair competition. We'll be facing an anti-dumping investigation soon!" Wang Anshi frowned deeply, his face grave.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye's face darkened, and he couldn't think of a good solution for a moment.
Americans have a history of favoring their own companies, and Wujiang will definitely be punished.
"No matter what, the Ministry of Justice should step in, actively respond to the lawsuit, and strive to win this case!" Zhao Ye thought for a moment and then instructed.
Wang Anshi replied, "Okay, that's the only way for now."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ye felt a bit frustrated. If a company can't compete head-on, it resorts to underhanded tactics. No wonder Wang An Company went bankrupt in just a few years.
Soon, Zhao Ye came to terms with it. He realized that many Chinese products had encountered anti-dumping investigations, which was something Wujiang Company was bound to experience during its growth.
It remains firm and strong despite countless trials and tribulations, standing firm against winds from all directions!
Wang Laboratories is well-known in the United States, and his lawsuit with Wujiang quickly attracted media attention and heated discussions among the American public.
"Wujiang will soon be subject to an anti-dumping investigation, and we may never be able to buy such a cheap Imagine typewriter again. I have to hurry up and buy one."
"Oh, now that you mention it, it seems to be true. I'll go buy one right away."
"..."
Rumors are circulating that Imagine typewriters may be banned from sale or have their prices increased, causing some potential buyers to become anxious.
In an instant, people flocked to the mall to buy Imagine typewriters in droves.
Wang Laboratories was stunned. They never expected that the news that Imagine typewriters were about to be subject to an anti-dumping investigation would actually stimulate sales even more.
...
"Boss, Wang Fulin, the director of 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' has come to visit."
"Have him come to my office."
The anti-dumping investigation won't yield results anytime soon.
Even if Wang Laboratories wins, it actually loses in the end.
At worst, we'll just withdraw from the US market and watch you rise to prominence, and then watch your empire crumble.
As the saying goes, "Heaven's sins can be avoided, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped."
I was going to give you a chance, but you're asking for trouble and treating the typewriter like a treasure, so I'll just have to grant your wish in the end.
A hint of disdain and mockery flashed across Zhao Ye's face.
A short while later, Wang Fulin arrived at his office, led by his secretary.
"Director Wang, welcome, welcome! Please have a seat!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
The two shook hands, exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and then sat down on the sofa.
Wang Fulin said, "I just rushed back to the capital from out of town yesterday evening. I happened to run into Director Yang Jie at CCTV. She told me that the 'Journey to the West' production team received a 5 million yuan investment from Boss Zhao. With this money, Director Yang can make an even better drama. Right now, our 'Dream of the Red Chamber' production team is also severely lacking in funds. The filming funds provided by CCTV are barely enough, and most of them are used for set design and costume design..."
Wang Fulin kept explaining the difficulties faced by the production team, basically just complaining about being poor.
Zhao Ye laughed and said, "Director Wang, just tell me directly, how much funding does your 'Dream of the Red Chamber' production team need?"
Wang Fulin smiled awkwardly, then said a number: "About 3 million."
“I think 5 million is fine, and I’ll add more if that’s not enough! My only requirement is that the TV series ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ be filmed well, and that it be used to promote my company when it airs, with the male and female leads endorsing products from my company!”
“No problem!” Wang Fulin immediately replied, “This is nothing, what kind of request is this?”
"After we sign the investment contract, I will have someone transfer the funds to your production team!"
"Okay, okay, no problem!" Wang Fulin nodded repeatedly, his heart pounding with excitement.
Zhao Ye was actually in a good mood, having secured the investment rights to "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber," which would bring him huge profits in the future.
When "Dream of the Red Chamber" was broadcast, the streets were deserted as well.
"By the way, Director Wang, I have another request. I learned that the production team built the Grand View Garden in the capital specifically for filming 'Dream of the Red Chamber.' I'd like to buy the Grand View Garden so that the production team can save a lot of money for other purposes!" Zhao Ye seemed to be quite considerate of the production team, but his real idea was to buy the Grand View Garden and move in for a while whenever he had time to experience life in the Jia family.
If a Lin Daiyu were to fall from the sky, that would be even better.
This investment will definitely not be a loss.
The key question is whether they will sell or not.
Wang Fulin said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll report it to the leaders and see what they decide!"
"Okay, no problem. Even if you don't sell the Grand View Garden to me, my investment promise will still stand." Actually, Zhao Ye didn't care whether it was sold or not; he just found the hassle too much. Otherwise, he could build his own Grand View Garden. However, only CCTV, with its extensive connections, could bring in a large number of experts to recreate the Grand View Garden from the original novel!
"Well, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, Director Wang, I'll see you off."
...
When Wang Fulin returned to CCTV, he immediately mentioned Zhao Ye's desire to buy the Grand View Garden.
"Sell! Why not sell? It'll save us a lot of money!"
"That's right, this Grand View Garden isn't a historical relic; we built it ourselves."
"..."
The leaders unanimously agreed that the Grand View Garden could be sold to Zhao Ye.
Wang Fulin also suggested selling the Grand View Garden.
Filming requires too much funding. Even with Zhao Ye's investment of 5 million yuan, it's still not enough. Wang Fulin wants to make "Dream of the Red Chamber" even better, so he needs more funds. Selling the Grand View Garden can save the production team a lot of money.
