It's no wonder that Xu Yuande was so angry. His own son failed to flirt with someone else's wife and now he attacks her husband's company. No matter who it was, he would definitely take the grudge to the death.
Even if you stopped cars on someone's road and gave them flowers, even if you were scolded and beaten, even if it brought shame to the Xu Group, you could still justify it by saying it was youthful recklessness. Even if you competed using normal business methods, even if you lost, you would have to admit defeat because you were inferior.
The key point is that Xu Zhirui's tactics were too despicable. Spreading false information to smear the company was something a large corporation could only do. What infuriated Xu Yuande the most was, "You can do it if you want. Why did you use your own people?" How could someone catch you?
"Father, I've also researched Dongya Mingyu Electronics. It's only been a little over a year since its founding, and their revenue is over 100 million, coming from several small African countries. That translates to less than 3 million US dollars per country, so it's unlikely they'll get their country's officials to take action."
Xu Zhirui also felt that he was wronged. Even if you are a small African country, you are still a country. Even if all the profits were given to you, it would only be over one million US dollars. Is it really that important? Is it really that important?
Xu Yuande admitted that Xu Zhirui didn't think so, and even if he were told now, he wouldn't think so. But the problem is that they did it, and with the local officials coming out to clarify, the things their own anchor did were completely confirmed to be rumors. Otherwise, how could they say they did it themselves?
"Just sit there and wait."
Getting angry wouldn't solve the problem. Since things had come to this, he should at least have some understanding of the East Asia Mingyu Group and Si Mingyu. The information Xu Zhirui had looked up was right in front of Xu Yuande, but he simply didn't believe it.
It’s not that what the people below found was false, but Si Mingyu’s total assets were only 9.6 billion, of which 7.6 billion was foreign debt. How could anyone with only more than 2 billion left dare to buy his wife a jade bracelet worth more than 100 million and wear it to an event?
Still an orphan? Without the hard work of his parents, even if he earned 100 million yuan a year from the time he was born, he wouldn't be able to make enough money by the time he was 20. Xu Yuande couldn't understand how his brain-dead son could believe such news.
Xu Zhirui had been doing well for too long, and seeing the wealth comparison between the two sides, 2 billion versus 30 billion, I had the advantage, so I started fighting. Then I pounced.
Xu Yuande first called a local leader. After all, the registered address of Dongya Mingyu Group was in Shanghai, so if there was any background, the other party should know something about it.
As a result, the other party became alert immediately when he heard that you were asking about this matter.
"Lao Xu, why are you asking this?"
As soon as Xu Yuande heard the tone of voice, he knew that something was wrong. Given the other party's status, he should have told him directly regardless of whether he knew the answer or not. Now that he was asking him back, there must be something involved that the other party had to pay attention to.
"It's like this. We had some competition with them for business reasons, but after some investigation, I didn't think that their size could compete with the Xu Group, so I asked you." Xu Yuande said evasively.
"In your normal business competition, the winner is determined by the market. There is no need to worry too much." The other party said this and hung up the phone.
But just this one sentence had already scared Xu Yuande into a cold sweat. He had clearly said that the other party's size could not compete with the Xu Group, but the person on the other end of the phone hadn't even asked what the matter was, and comforted him not to worry too much about winning or losing.
What does this indicate?
This shows that the other party knows the details of the East Asia Mingyu Group and knows that he cannot compete with them, but he just revealed it vaguely because it was inconvenient to say it directly.
In desperation, Xu Yuande had to call his old leader. Although the old leader's rank was the same as the local one, he might know more because of his different position. Moreover, since their relationship was different, he should be able to talk about some things.
He was able to thrive in the advertising and media industry thanks to the support of his old leader, and he also made his old leader proud. However, he couldn't always ask for help when he had problems, as favors would be worth every penny.
My old boss was in a meeting, so the secretary answered the phone. After I told him the purpose of my visit, he said he would report back later.
Xu Yuande and his son Xu Zhirui were like ants on a hot pan, and they waited for more than an hour before they received a call back.
First, he asked about the old leader's health, and then Xu Yuande carefully and briefly explained what had happened. Of course, he had to tell the old leader the truth, otherwise how would they meet again in the future?
"What are you going to do?" the other side asked after listening.
"Old leader, I called you because I didn't know what to do." Since it came to this, Xu Yuande didn't need to save face anymore.
"You were the one who broke the rules first. To be honest with you, I can't help you with this. If you have any channels, you can find out about the relationship between the other party and Penguin and Character shareholders." This is what was said on the other end.
"Old leader!" Xu Yuande wanted to say something.
"It's for your own good that I don't tell you some things." The other party said this unclearly and hung up the phone.
This old leader is really doing this for Xu Yuande's own good.
Because he really couldn't say anything. Should he persuade Xu Yuande to invest? Would a multi-billion dollar group just be at the mercy of others? He couldn't bring himself to say that. And if Xu Yuande tried to dethrone the emperor after he revealed the inside story, wouldn't that implicate him as well?
As the saying goes, every country has its own laws and every industry has its own rules. Xu Zhirui violated both laws. If the other party is weak and is bullied, then it's fine. But if the other party is stronger than you and fights back, who would want to wade into such muddy water?
If he stood aside and watched the situation develop, maybe at the critical moment he could save his face and ask the other party not to kill him and save Xu Yuande's life.
Is the East Asia Mingyu Group strong? Compared to the Xu Group, it's definitely stronger. Xu Yuande's former boss was in the broadcasting and entertainment industry, and he knew about Wang Jianguo's involvement in a film casting change.
He thought Wang Jianguo's actions were a bit unreasonable; it was a bit beneath his dignity for a second-generation executive to be involved in such a minor matter, but it also demonstrated his regard for Si Mingyu. He then paid close attention, and after some careful research, he eventually learned that Si Mingyu was a shareholder of Penguin and Zifu. While this was a hidden matter, it was certainly something that someone inside could find out. It just depended on whether or not he was willing to bother.
I found out that the person following the agreement on joint action is Gu Shuanghui. Don’t you think it’s clear how to do this?
Gu Shuanghui is the equivalent of Masayoshi Son of Japan, back in his heyday. It's not that no one dares to mess with a boss of this level, but it's definitely not something the Xu Group can afford to mess with.
