"To be honest, boss, I don't understand what your plan is all about either?"
As Bai Shiya spoke, she took out the things Chen Luo had asked her to prepare.
In addition to the list just mentioned, there were also printed copies of the education company's annual financial report and cost budget from last year.
Chen Luo placed the forms on the table and glanced at everyone.
"If we continue to fight Yelena as things stand, the best outcome will be a lose-lose situation, and we might even suffer greater losses. Do you agree with this?"
Everyone present, including Wen Wan, nodded.
After all, Yelena had been deeply involved in the education industry for many years, and in the previous years, Wenxiu had been at a disadvantage in her battles with her, and her many counterattacks ended in failure, resulting in heavy losses.
After Wen Wan took over Wen Xiu's education company, she mobilized a considerable amount of funds to fill the gaps in its operations.
Chen Luo reviewed the financial reports from previous years and found them to be very poor, with the company almost entirely in debt in those years.
This year, the net profit of the education company is only 30 million.
"Therefore, I plan to seize the most core market through unconventional means."
"By using the 23 million yuan currently available in the education group's accounts to subsidize these thousands of impoverished high school students and cover their first year of university tuition!"
"At the same time, we will promote our financial report through social media."
"Finally, withdraw all deployments and gradually reduce all offensive and promotional activities to a minimum within three days!"
After hearing Chen Luo's plan, Bai Shiya and Mo Lan were speechless with surprise, and even Wen Wan showed a shocked expression.
"I think your plan is a bit too bold."
Chen Luo clenched his fist and slammed it onto the documents in front of him, his eyes filled with determination.
Be bold, and you'll win the battle!
...
Three days later, the Ye Group.
"Promotional activities in various regions have been underway for three days, and customer traffic is steadily increasing, up 11% compared to the same period last year."
"In terms of live streaming promotion, the account now has nearly 500,000 followers, and the video views remain high, achieving the expected results."
What about the stock market?
"Currently, the group's stock price is up 1.3%, with no abnormal fluctuations."
Yelena sat in the main seat of the small conference room, listening to the reports from the group of responsible persons. After listening, she felt vaguely that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Assistant Lin, have the intelligence team noticed anything unusual about the other party lately?"
"Chairman Ye, the intelligence team has reported nothing unusual so far. The other side is just doing promotions and advertising like us. Meanwhile, other industries are also launching offensives, but they seem to be running out of steam. It seems that some industries have run into problems with their funding."
"Wait a minute, shouldn't they be attacking even more fiercely at this juncture to distract us?"
"Have any of you noticed any details about their promotional and advertising strategies?"
Yelena keenly sensed something was wrong. Wasn't Chen Luo attacking fiercely before?
They're even willing to become livestreamers themselves to build a reputation. They should be taking advantage of this reputation to attract customers!
"Regarding promotions, Mr. Ye, the other party's online and offline course promotions initially presented a competitive situation with us, constantly lowering prices. However, as of yesterday, they stopped lowering prices."
"In terms of promotion, the other party mainly relies on live streaming and videos for online promotion, but the frequency of their live streaming has also decreased in the past two days."
After listening, Yelena immediately frowned.
Is the other side showing weakness, or has something gone wrong? Why would they weaken their offensive stance at such a crucial moment?
Seeing this, the general manager of the education company spoke up at the right moment: "Chairman Ye, the competitive methods in the education industry are actually quite similar, so the other party has limited room to maneuver. The current situation is normal."
"As long as we can stabilize the current situation, we can completely suppress them based on our existing foundation."
Yelena waved her hand. She knew he was right, but from the beginning, Chen Luo's moves were all interconnected, and none of his moves could be predicted by common sense.
But the fact that they've been behaving so obediently these past few days suggests there's something fishy going on.
Meanwhile, a deputy general manager on the other side hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Chairman Ye, there is actually another possibility, which is that there may be differing opinions within the other party's organization."
"After all, Wanluo Group is a business owned by the Wen family. Chen Luo, an outsider, is using all the assets on a large scale to attack the education industry. Perhaps the old ministers or the Wen family have objections and are diverting some of the cash flow in an attempt to control costs."
What a joke! This Wanluo Company is Wen Wan's own private property, given her personality.
Even if she lost all that money, even if it bankrupted the company, she wouldn't say a word against Chen Luo, let alone stop him.
However, this is indeed the most likely possibility that can be deduced from common sense.
"Alright, you guys go back to work now."
He dismissed all the responsible persons, including Assistant Lin.
"Chen Luo, what are you up to? Are you plotting something bad?"
I went through every possible possibility in my mind, but I still couldn't find any clues.
I sat in the small conference room for a long time, and before I knew it, it was noon.
"Knock knock!"
Assistant Lin's voice came from outside the door: "Chairman Ye, it's lunchtime. Please come to the cafeteria for lunch."
The Yip Group offers excellent benefits, including a dedicated employee canteen. Of course, senior executives also have special meals prepared in a private room.
Yelena arrived at the round table where a group of senior executives were having dinner together. This was arranged by Yelena herself, as it would both increase familiarity and facilitate communication about work.
There was a large TV on the wall of the private room, which broadcast social and financial news so that these executives could keep up with the day's news while they ate.
Everyone started eating, but Yelena had little appetite. Her mind was preoccupied with whether Chen Luo had some kind of conspiracy, and she didn't touch her chopsticks.
"No, I can't let my mind be so confused. I'd better check the news."
I picked up the remote control and pressed a button on the big TV to switch to the local news channel.
As soon as I successfully changed the channel, a pleasant female voice came from the TV.
"Alright! We are now at the Silver Hair Plaza in Nanchuan County, Sanwu City. Today, Wanluo Group is donating 5 million yuan to carry out a charity event to help underprivileged senior high school students!"
