"Knock knock knock!"
The sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed as Yelena paced back and forth in her office, while her assistant, Lin, held a cup of coffee beside her.
"Chairman Ye, Chairman Ye, would you like a cup of coffee?"
"Perhaps, perhaps the situation is not as serious as we imagine. In the end, it's just a live broadcast promotion event by the other party, just to build up their reputation."
To be honest, after working with Yelena for so many years, this was the first time Assistant Lin had ever seen Yelena so anxious and panicked.
Our chairman has always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, remaining unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
Given her current behavior, the situation is likely to be worse than imagined. At this point, Assistant Lin could only try to calm her down by saying a few words.
Yelena didn't take the coffee; instead, she looked at the computer screen.
Wanluo Education's live stream is still going on, and its popularity shows no signs of decreasing.
There was nothing left to sell in the entire live stream, and the girl who did the live stream had started singing, but the live stream's popularity remained high, and donations kept pouring in.
This is a live-streaming sales event, not an entertainment event; the tips have almost reached 5 million.
"No drinking! Hurry up! Go and urge them to compile the data. Three hours have passed! What have they been doing?!"
"Okay, I'll go and urge them right away!"
Assistant Lin put down his coffee, opened the door and was about to run out when he bumped into a figure.
"Bang!"
Both of them took a few steps back. Assistant Lin looked closely and recognized him as Li Feng, the company's information director.
Without saying a word, Li Feng hurriedly came to Yelena's side.
"Chairman Ye! The data is in! Please take a look!"
Yelena took the documents from her hand and looked up at Li Feng.
"I'll review the data later and report the analysis results immediately!"
"Okay, I'll start the report right away."
Li Feng took a deep breath, revealing a somewhat worried expression.
"First, the other party's live stream has achieved sales of 10 million yuan and has grown to 4 million followers."
"Secondly, the news about the other party's donation has already gone viral, reaching the top of the trending topics list, and its popularity continues to rise."
"Third, the return rate for our online courses is constantly increasing, up 2% year-on-year, and the customer churn rate is expected to have exceeded 10%."
"Fourth, according to reports from various offline institutions, within three hours, a large number of customers flooded into the other party's institutions, at least half of whom were our old customers."
"There's a fifth one..."
"Alright, that's enough."
Yelena waved her hand, stopping Li Feng from continuing.
"You can leave now. I'll handle the rest myself."
"But, Chairman Ye, given this situation, shouldn't we take some action to reverse the decline?"
Li Feng was extremely anxious at this moment, because according to the information he had gathered, the other party was constantly taking away his customers.
Originally, our side had a complete advantage over Wanluo Company, but now the balance of power has shifted so quickly.
Chen Luo used an unexpected tactic that caught them off guard. Now, the opponent's reputation and marketing are booming, and their momentum is strong. If they are not stopped, they will suffer great losses.
"Smack!"
Yelena slammed the documents in her hand onto the table, her face contorted with rage.
"Don't I know I need to take action? But tell me, what do I do?"
At this point, Yelena pointed out the window towards the Wanluo Group and shouted loudly.
"Chen Luo has now transformed Wanluo Education into a conscientious enterprise full of patriotism, coupled with their excellent online courses!"
"They not only occupy the moral high ground, but also the highest point of product quality in the market!"
"What do you expect me to do? What else can I do? Tell me!"
Yelena's screams echoed in the office, silencing Li Feng and his assistant, Lin.
After Yelena vented her frustrations for a while, she sat back down in her office chair and let out a deep breath.
"call!"
After a long silence, Yelena finally spoke.
"Although I don't want to admit it, Chen Luo won this battle."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately became anxious and rushed forward.
"Chairman Ye! The other side has only won this one battle. Our foundation is still intact, and our cash flow is sufficient. We can definitely continue to fight them to the end!"
"We have been deeply involved in the education industry for so many years, and it is now a key development area for the group. If we withdraw, the losses will be incalculable!"
Assistant Lin, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to persuade them.
"Yes, Director Li is right. Chairman Ye, we can't give up on the education market. We can make a comeback."
Yelena waved her hand and forced a smile.
"There's no need to panic. I didn't say I was giving up; I just plan to cut my losses in time."
“The other side has already seized a considerable portion of the market, but as you said, our foundation is still intact, and Chen Luo cannot swallow up the market.”
"And we can't really spend all our funds to fight a life-or-death battle with Wanluo Group, that would only result in mutual destruction and be detrimental to our long-term development."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.
"So you mean...we should make a truce with the other side?"
"Yes." Yelena couldn't help but smile wryly as she said this.
“I bet you guys that Chen Luo is definitely waiting for me to come knocking on his door and beg for peace.”
"Chairman Ye, why are you so sure that the other side will allow us to sue for peace?"
Yelena looked out the window, and Chen Luo's handsome face appeared in her mind.
"Because Chen Luo is not gentle. Every step he takes is not aimed at fighting me to the death, but only at occupying enough market share and gaining enough say."
"But Chen Luo never intended to swallow the entire market, nor did he make the decision to launch a fatal blow against us."
"To hold back the attack is far more skillful than to destroy everything in the process."
"Therefore, he will definitely accept our request for peace."
Yelena's lips curled up slightly, most of the anger in her mind dissipated, and instead, a surge of urgency to see Chen Luo rose in her heart.
"Alright, Assistant Lin, call Chen Luo and schedule an appointment for tomorrow morning. I'll personally visit their company!"
"Yes, Chairman Ye!"
...
A hotel, presidential suite.
Wen Tao sat on the sofa, the TV was playing footage of Chen Luo's live donation on a loop, and on the computer on the table, Wanluo Education's live stream was paused on a page full of bullet comments.
"This young man is interesting. It was worth the trip."
"Secretary Wang, make the arrangements. We'll go to Wan'er Group tomorrow afternoon. I'll personally meet with Chen Luo."
