"Young Master, they've made their move!"
Wen Shao raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had ever seen Ning Xi so panicked.
"Get in the car first."
Without much small talk, the group immediately got into the car.
After getting into the car, Wen Shao didn't ask any questions immediately, but instead leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned icy.
Although Wen Shao did not say anything or show any expression.
Ning Xi dared not speak, while Tang Xiwei trembled all over, because they both knew that once Wen Xiu adopted such a posture, it meant that she was already angry and ready to question them.
The vehicle drove smoothly for five or six minutes before Wen Shaofang finally spoke.
"explain."
That single word felt like a hammer blow to Ningxi and Tang Xiwei's chests, a severe blow to their spirits.
"Young Master, this is what happened."
"Starting today, the other side has begun to make unusual moves, and it looks like they are launching a full-scale attack."
From Ningxi's account, Wen Shao roughly understood the whole process.
Starting this morning, Wanluo Group suddenly began to expand and attack multiple industries.
The targets of the attacks were mostly Wen Shao's companies in the central market at that time, and the attacks were the kind that hurt others with their own resources.
For example, food companies mainly process fast food and some fresh produce.
The other party also started to engage in this business, sourcing goods from the southeast coast and selling them at prices below cost, using promotions to gain market share.
There are no clear signs yet, but if this continues and we don't lower our sales prices, we are very likely to lose some market share.
Once this kind of price war, where the price hurts others, breaks out, it all comes down to whether one's own cash flow can hold out until the end.
Now Wen Wan has begun to attack multiple industries, and is specifically targeting all of Wen Shao's companies in the central region. This is a desperate move.
"Have you found out what Wen Wan's intentions are?"
Wen Shao looked at Tang Xiwei, who was trembling all over.
"Not yet."
"waste!"
Wen Shao muttered a curse in a completely emotionless tone.
Ningxi and Tang Xiwei were trembling with fear, bowing their heads and repeatedly begging for forgiveness.
Wen Shao frowned at this moment. His intuition told him that the other party was definitely preparing a big move for him.
The more frantic the other party becomes, the calmer you need to be.
First of all, these companies in the central region are not actually large companies; they are all pioneering teams sent by Wenzhou and Shaoxing.
These companies, whether in terms of capital or talent, are hardly a match for Wenwan.
If we were to immediately transfer manpower and funds from Beijing in the face of the enemy's attack, it would take at least two or three days.
This gives the other party a chance to create a time difference.
Thinking of this, Wen Shao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It seems that crazy woman Wen Wan already knew I was coming to Jiangling, which is why she managed to time things differently from me."
"She caught me off guard, forcing me to react passively so she could seize the initiative."
"Then, young master, shouldn't our top priority be to fend off their frenzied attack?"
Tang Xiwei spoke up at the opportune moment, wanting to take on some tasks for herself so that she could directly confront Chen Luo.
"No, let them hit them!"
"I can afford to lose these assets."
"Since this woman wants to fight me and win, then I will grant her wish."
"Change course, let's go find John! Contact him immediately, I want to discuss the cooperation with him in person!"
"Yes, young master!"
...
That afternoon, Wanluo Group!
"President Wen, President Chen, all the attack plans have been initiated!"
"Food companies have started dumping products at low prices!"
"The real estate industry has already started promotional activities, offering discounts of up to 15%!"
"Preparations for the promotion of new car models in the automotive industry have already begun and will take place a week before the other party's release!"
"Okay, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"
Wen Wan and Chen Luo were stationed in various business departments of the company to keep abreast of market changes and respond promptly.
Chen Luo walked over to a manager in the operations department and patted him on the shoulder.
"Has the other side taken any retaliatory measures?"
"Or are there any unusual external fund flows?"
"Reporting to General Manager Chen, we have not encountered any resistance yet. The other side seems to be only passively defending and trying to save themselves, without making any major moves."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Luo turned to look at Wen Wan.
"Wan'er, you were right. Wen Shao really didn't care about these companies."
"Although Wen Shao is selfish, his magnanimity and methods are unmatched by ordinary people."
"He must have realized that we were trying to seize the initiative, so he deliberately gave up on these companies, preventing us from taking advantage of the time difference."
The two left the operations department and walked into the corridor.
"Bao, what do you think Wen Shao will do next?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gave his answer after about five minutes.
"If I were Wen Shao, I would definitely seek funding or allies nearby first, and gain a foothold before making any further moves."
"The priority is foreign capital."
"Given Wen Shao's calculating nature, he would never allow his allies to reap the benefits without lifting a finger!"
"But I don't know what opportunity this means for us?"
Wen Wan stepped forward and gently hugged Chen Luo.
"This does not mean an opportunity, but rather that the other side will launch a very fierce offensive immediately."
"Only by withstanding this wave of attacks can we have any hope of winning."
"Do you know that our current situation is very similar to a famous battle at the end of the Han Dynasty?"
Chen Luo tilted his head, somewhat confused.
"At the end of the Han Dynasty, warlords fought each other until the fourth year of Jian'an, which is 199 AD."
"A battle that was one of the five most famous battles in history broke out between the Central Plains and Hebei."
The Battle of Guandu!
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo understood Wen Wan's meaning.
Indeed, they are very similar. Back then, the strength of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was overwhelmingly superior, just like Wen Shao, whom they are facing now.
Wen Shao's allies are equally powerful, while Wen Wan's only ally is the Chen family. Ye Lina is only helping in a personal capacity, and the Ye family does not want to get involved.
Now, just like Cao Cao back then, they are in a dire situation and must find a way to break the deadlock.
"Wan'er, I understand what you mean."
"Back then, during the Battle of Guandu, at Baima, Guan Yu, also known as Guan Yunchang, killed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang amidst a large crowd, thus severely demoralizing the enemy and finally creating an opportunity to break the deadlock."
"So, we should send a vanguard forward now, right?"
Wen Wan smiled and put her arms around Chen Luo's waist.
"That's right, so this is the first battle of the vanguard."
"I will go!"
