The blond man's name is Arthur, and he represents Odin Corporation, a powerful multinational corporation in the industry.
Odin Group has always viewed Liu Lu's company as a thorn in its side, and this time it has launched a complete blockade against Liu Lu's company on the grounds of patent infringement.
Suddenly, Liu Lu Group's overseas market share plummeted, major partners terminated their cooperation, and the company's stock also fell sharply.
The air in Liu Lu's office seemed to freeze. Secretary Chen looked at Liu Lu's serious expression and was filled with worry.
Arthur brought more than just a document; he brought Odin Group’s powerful technological advantages and trade barriers.
"President Liu, Odin Group is coming on strong, we..." Secretary Chen hesitated before continuing.
Liu Lu took a deep breath, her eyes revealing a resolute determination. "What's there to be afraid of? We'll meet force with force!" She knew she had to win this battle!
Not only for the company, but also for her daughter Liu Bei, and for all the employees who trust and support her.
She immediately assembled the group's technical team and began working day and night to tackle the problem.
Liu Lu personally participated in the research and development. Her keen business sense and understanding of technology enabled the technical team to find a breakthrough.
Countless sleepless nights, Liu Lu and her technical team worked tirelessly in the laboratory, overcoming one technical challenge after another.
Arthur, on the other hand, was smug, convinced that Liu Lu's group was doomed to defeat this time.
"A tiny Chinese company dares to challenge our Odin Group? They're simply overestimating themselves!" He raised his glass in celebration at the victory banquet, as if victory was already within his grasp.
However, Arthur's smugness did not last long.
Just as Odin Group was preparing to further suppress Liu Lu Group, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue—Liu Lu Group announced that they had successfully broken through the key technology and applied for new patents!
The news spread rapidly throughout the industry, and major media outlets rushed to report it.
Liu Lu Group's stock also began to rebound, and partners expressed their willingness to resume cooperation.
Arthur's face turned ashen, and he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
"Impossible! How could they have broken through the technological blockade so quickly?"
Liu Lu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city's night view, a faint smile on her lips.
She picked up her phone and dialed Secretary Chen's number. "Secretary Chen, notify all departments to prepare for a counterattack..." She paused, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. "The real show is just beginning."
Liu Lu's counterattack was like a whirlwind, quickly sweeping across the entire international market.
Instead of competing head-on on price with rivals, she focused on improving product quality and service levels.
Liu Lu Group launched a series of high-end customized products and provided comprehensive after-sales service, which quickly won the favor of high-end customers.
Odin Group adopted a low-price strategy, attempting to use its price advantage to squeeze out Liu Lu Group.
For a time, the market was filled with the smoke of battle, with both sides going back and forth, neither willing to give in.
Major media outlets reported on this fierce business battle, portraying Liu Lu and Arthur as two equally matched business giants.
Bystanders are closely watching this war without gunfire. Some believe that Liu Lu Group's insistence on a high-end strategy makes it difficult to compete with Odin Group's price war; others believe that Odin Group's low-price strategy is just a short-sighted solution and will eventually backfire.
Liu Lu was not intimidated by the predicament she was facing. She knew that in order to win this war, she had to find the opponent's weakness and deliver a fatal blow.
After thorough market research and data analysis, Liu Lu discovered a fatal weakness in Odin Group's supply chain: they were overly reliant on a small raw material supplier located in Southeast Asia.
This discovery gave Liu Lu a bright idea, and she immediately convened the group's senior management to devise a bold plan.
She decided to concentrate her efforts on attacking this weak link in the Odin Group.
Liu Lu secretly contacted this small supplier, offered a higher price than Odin Group, and promised a long-term partnership.
The small supplier was impressed by Liu Lu's terms and immediately terminated its cooperation with Odin Group, instead signing an exclusive supply agreement with Liu Lu's group.
Odin Group's raw material supply chain was instantly disrupted, and its production lines were paralyzed.
When Arthur heard the news, his face turned pale. He never expected that Liu Lu would so decisively attack his weakness.
"Contact other suppliers immediately! Resume production at all costs!" Arthur roared into the phone, but he knew in his heart that it was too late...
Liu Lu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
She picked up the phone and dialed Secretary Chen's number, "Secretary Chen..."
Secretary Chen pushed open the door and entered, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement. "President Liu, great news! Several of Odin Group's key production lines have completely shut down, and their market share is declining at an alarming rate!"
Liu Lu's lips curled slightly upward, but her eyes remained calm. "Notify the legal department to prepare for negotiations with the Odin Group. We need to make them understand that they lost this competition from the very beginning."
At the negotiating table, Arthur looked ashen-faced, his eyes filled with resentment.
He never imagined that his meticulously planned scheme would be so easily thwarted by Liu Lu.
"Liu Lu, you won." Arthur gritted his teeth and uttered these words with difficulty.
Liu Lu's expression was calm, but her tone left no room for argument: "Mr. Arthur, in the business world, there are no permanent winners or losers. I hope you will remember this lesson."
Odin Group eventually signed a humiliating agreement, not only acknowledging patent infringement but also compensating Liu Lu Group for huge economic losses.
The news shocked the world.
The once invincible Odin Group has actually been defeated by a company from China!
At the celebration banquet, Liu Lu stood in the center of the stage, the lights focused on her, and she shone like a queen.
The group's employees cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.
Liu Lu raised her glass, her gaze sweeping over the joyful faces around her, her heart filled with emotion.
From an unknown small business to a global giant, her journey has been incredibly arduous.
But she never gave up. She always believed that as long as she persevered, she would definitely succeed.
Wearing a pretty princess dress, Liu Bei skipped and hopped over to Liu Lu, tilting her little face up and innocently asking, "Mommy, did you win?"
Liu Lu gently patted her daughter's head. "Baby, we won."
After the joy of victory, Liu Lu did not become complacent.
She knew that the business world was always full of unknowns and challenges.
She must remain vigilant at all times to remain invincible.
The next morning, Liu Lu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, overlooking the bustling city, a deep light flashing in her eyes.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, it's me... about that new project..."
