The news that Liu Lu Group has gained a foothold in the international market is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
However, these ripples were not all waves of celebration; hidden beneath them were turbulent undercurrents.
President Wang, a tycoon known in the international business world for his shrewdness and cunning, was currently sneering at the bustling city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He joined forces with several international companies, weaving a giant net to trap Liu Lu's group.
At the international business forum, smear campaigns against Liu Lu Group were rampant, including allegations of product quality issues and bribery scandals.
All sorts of fabricated charges came flooding in like a tide.
When the news reached China, the atmosphere in Liu Lu's office plummeted to freezing point.
The coffee in her hand trembled slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her deep eyes.
“They’re declaring war!” she said coldly and firmly.
An emergency meeting was held at the group's headquarters.
The group's senior executives sat around the enormous conference table, their faces grave.
Analyst Li adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed the current situation: "President Wang has come prepared this time, and we must deal with it cautiously. We currently have several plans..." He listed the prepared plans one by one, but each plan was accompanied by huge risks, and the slightest carelessness could lead to complete failure.
Liu Lu's fingers tapped lightly on the table, one tap after another, as if tapping on everyone's heart.
She understood that this was a tough battle, and if she was not careful, the group's years of hard work would be reduced to ashes.
But her indomitable spirit makes her never easily give in.
The meeting room was completely silent; everyone held their breath, waiting for Liu Lu's final decision.
Time ticked by, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Finally, Liu Lu raised her head, her gaze sweeping firmly over the crowd: "Since they want to play, we'll play along to the end!" She picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Diplomat Zhang, we need your help..." A steady voice came from the other end of the line: "President Liu, I already expected you to contact me..."
The crisis facing Liu Lu Group was like an avalanche; once it began, it was unstoppable.
Orders have decreased as if peeling away layers of an onion, and the once endless stream of cooperation calls are now silent.
Liu Lu flew tirelessly to various countries, trying to salvage the cooperation and explain the unfounded accusations.
But she faced more evasive and polite rejections.
In a suite at a luxury hotel, Liu Lu rubbed her aching temples, her exquisite makeup unable to conceal her exhaustion.
She felt like a trapped animal, bumping into walls everywhere in the vast business jungle.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, Liu Bei was launching a surprise attack.
Inside the school auditorium, a unique international business knowledge competition is in full swing.
The participants are young people from various countries who are interning at their respective companies.
This was Liu Bei's idea. She keenly realized that instead of letting her mother exhaust herself explaining, it would be better to take the initiative and reverse international public opinion.
The competition topics covered a wide range of areas, including international trade, marketing, and corporate culture.
Liu Bei not only demonstrated solid business knowledge, but also cleverly incorporated the advantages and corporate culture of Liu Lu Group into her answers.
Her confident demeanor, fluent English, and profound understanding of the Liu Lu Group impressed everyone present.
Especially in the final round of case analysis, Liu Bei used the real case of Liu Lu Group to demonstrate its resilience and innovation in the face of crisis, winning unanimous praise from the judges and the audience.
After the competition, many young representatives from international companies approached Liu Bei to exchange ideas and express their interest in Liu Lu Group.
This competition, organized by a teenage girl, unexpectedly became a "crisis public relations" event for Liu Lu's group.
When the news reached Liu Lu, she was first taken aback, then a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Her daughter's actions were like a ray of sunshine, piercing through the gloom that shrouded her heart.
She made a video call to her daughter. On the screen, Liu Bei smiled brightly: "Mom, how was it? Did I do well?" Liu Lu's eyes reddened slightly, and she whispered, "My darling daughter, you are truly my pride..."
Just then, Liu Lu's phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello Mr. Liu, I am..."
On the other end of the phone was the president of a highly influential business association in country M.
He sincerely expressed his apologies to Liu Lu Group and stated that he was willing to reconsider the cooperation.
Meanwhile, Diplomat Zhang actively campaigned on the international stage, delivering powerful and resounding speeches: "Fair competition is the cornerstone of international business, and no enterprise should be treated unfairly. Chinese enterprises should enjoy equal rights and opportunities in the international market!" His remarks garnered support from many countries, international public opinion began to shift, and the smear campaign against Liu Lu Group gradually subsided.
President Wang's face turned ashen. His meticulously planned encirclement and suppression had been thwarted by a girl's competition and a diplomat's speech!
He slammed the document in his hand onto the table with a loud bang.
When Liu Lu returned home, she smelled the aroma of food as soon as she opened the door.
Inside the restaurant, the lighting was soft, and the tables were laden with her favorite dishes.
Wearing an apron, Liu Bei greeted Liu Lu with a beaming smile, looking like a little adult: "Mom, you're back! Wash your hands and come eat!" A warm feeling welled up in Liu Lu's heart. She hugged her daughter and gently kissed her forehead: "Bei Bei, you're truly Mom's little lucky star!" Dinner proceeded in a warm atmosphere. Liu Bei vividly recounted the amusing stories of organizing the competition, making Liu Lu laugh heartily.
As night deepened outside the window, the room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
The crisis has temporarily eased, but Liu Lu knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
President Wang will not give up easily; competition in the international market remains fierce.
She got up and walked to the window, gazing at the flashing neon lights outside, a determined look in her eyes.
Just then, the phone rang again; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Mr. Liu, regarding the cooperation proposal you put forward..." Liu Lu took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello, this is Liu Lu..."
