205 Firing Back - Part 11
Wednesday, continued ...
"You need my help?"
"I did not want to ask.While you are in property development and other things, you compete head to head with your Film and Television division against Lu Corporation's similar division.Pushing means that it will risk that business."
"After the mall stunt, do you think I care.There is no way that I want to have anything to do with them."
"Well, I am going to make it very clear to certain companies that we collaborate with that they have to choose between us and Lu Corporation.I do not want any association between Hou Enterprises and Lu Corporation.It does not make sense, given what the former Vice-CEO has apparently apologised for doing.The police are investigating the assault on Anna and criminal matters, but that will take some time."
"Despite at that press conference Lu Jinhu resigned from his role as Vice-CEO of Lu Corporation, he will still that in all but name even when his replacement is appointed.There is no way that CEO Lu will want that wild card of a son of his anywhere else that could reek havoc on Lu Corporation unless he can have complete control of him, therefore he has to remain in Lu Corporation."
"As I was saying the now 'former' Vice-CEO of Lu Corporation publicly assaults my wife, and I still do business with the company.What does that tell businesses.I am more concerned about the company than my wife.Forget that.My wife is the most important thing, and I need to show that.While I can make it clear our position, I need someone to be the front for my behind the scenes manipulations."
"Are you and XF International willing to do that?What I want to do is isolate Lu Corporation from business partners and money supply from their domestic activities.I also want to hurt the one area that I cannot easily touch, their Film and Television division.That I specifically need your help to form a joint venture, pulling in your existing division, and we will provide the finance to allow for a major expansion and recruitment of talent from Lu Corporation while not specifically targeting other companies."
"Getting at that money supply is their weakness.I regularly review the publicly distributed material that large corporations including Hou Enterprises and Lu Corporation have to produce annually.What it tells me is that Lu Corporation overseas expansions have occurred so quickly in the last few years, they have had to rely on their domestic profits to support those expansions.None of the activities appear to become self-sustaining for at least 5 years or longer, and that is going to be their downfall."So ended Hou Yi.
"Smart, and legal too.Something your wife will well and truly appreciate as much as Amanda will.Given what Lu JInhu has done, I was ready to refuse to remain involved with them, even on the limited projects that we do.This could be fun."
At that time they heard laughter coming from Anna and Amanda, and looked over at the ladies.
Before they started to walk over Yao Tan indicated "Tell me who you need me to speak to, and get me the evidence, and I will do what I can to help get this going as quickly as we can, as the sooner we bring them down the better."
"Agreed," responded Hou Yi.With that they walked and they walked over to find out what was going on.
"Ladies, give it up what is going on?" asked Hou Yi.
"We posted a couple of pictures on social media, and just what everyone is saying," responded Anna handing over her phone to Hou Yi to look at.All he could do was simply laugh.
The two couples simply sat and talked to each other for half hour before Amanda Mei and Yao Tan left.After that, Anna and Hou Yi ate the hospital provided meal and then Anna settled down for the night.
Anna had Hou Yi sit with her on the bed until she fell asleep with the promise from him to go home to bed.However, there was no way that Hou Yi was going to do this.Given where Anna was laying the hospital bed was just big enough for the two of them to sleep there together.He would stay there for a few hours before moving into the chair beside her for the balance of the night..
