Chapter 1734: Jose VS Wen Xinya
News of T-K Group’s violation of advertising regulations and their illegal copying of a product recipe spread like wildfire. The consumers were utterly incensed.
A world-renowned major corporation making use of false advertising to cheat consumers, as well as illegally copying another company’s Traditional Chinese Medicine health supplement recipe—it was a complete breach of ethics. Was this really a reputable global enterprise?
T-K Group, including Jose, finally realized just how formidable the people of Country Z could be.
“Miss Bella, pleased to meet you!”
In this meeting room, T-K Group’s representative, Jose, finally came face to face with his Country Z opponent, Bella, for the first time.
He looked at the masked Bella and her hands placed atop the table. This lady was much younger than he imagined. He could hardly believe how young she was.
“Pleased to meet you too, Mr. Jose!” Wen Xinya’s luscious red lips were exposed.
It was T-K Group who had taken the initiative to call for today’s meeting. She didn’t reject it.
T-K Group’s market in Country Z had completely collapsed.
Jose was wearing a black suit with a silver-gray tie. He looked very somber. “Miss Bella, T-K Group’s takeover plan has been an utter failure. The Group will pull out of the Country Z market soon.”
Yesterday, he received a call from headquarters decreeing that they were to pull out totally from the Country Z market.
After receiving the decree, he had shut himself in his office the entire day.
He sat in his chair silently contemplating the whole time.
He carefully thought through everything that had happened in this takeover battle, and finally realized that Bella had been in control the entire time. She had lured him to the edge of the cliff step by step.
“It was all within my forecasts!”
Wen Xinya’s finger tapped gently against the table. Her tone was calm and neutral as she narrated the events.
Her placid attitude was as a businesswoman should be. Stable, shrewd, magnanimous and calm. Jose felt immense pressure.
It was a very scary pressure.
Cool and collected, confident and composed. She was one to look out for.
It was like during the entire takeover battle between T-K Group and Lanxin Company, you would never know what her next step would be. But as you fail again and again by her hand, you would realize that she had been bidding her time all this while, just waiting quietly for the right opportunity to strike. By then, there was nothing you could do but to just continue straight down the path to hell.
You could rage all you want, but somehow, there was just no way you could escape from the palm of her hand...
At first, you might feel you have lost for no good reason, but on further consideration, you would realize the defeat was deserved.
He felt it was all very laughable.
He had been in business management for over 20 years, probably even longer than she had been alive on this earth. His scorecard had been flawless, something which he had been very proud of.
But now, he was feeling such a powerful sense of suppression from this young lady.
“Actually, Mr. Jose must have realized the citizens of Country Z are not against takeovers. In fact, they are more tolerant of it than many other nations. To the citizens of Country Z, as long as it is a good product from a good company, they are willing to accept and try it out. It was T-K Group who wronged them. T-K Group wasn’t defeated by me or by Lanxin Company. You were defeated by the consumers.”
Wen Xinya glanced up at Jose.
Her black pupils were filled with profound and tranquil light.
Jose’s mouth fell open, but nothing came out of his mouth.
T-K Group had made three mistakes.
Firstly, they held malicious intent toward the Country Z market. They had planned to swallow the entire market and leave no breathing space for the local companies. This was a despicable and wicked move.
Secondly, they developed a Traditional Chinese Medicine health supplement product in order to undercut Lanxin Company. They ended up losing their integrity as a world-renowned global corporation.
Thirdly, their competitive tactics had been too aggressive, which resulted in them violating all sorts of regulations and losing the consumers’ trust.
Wen Xinya said, “Country Z is a large and tolerant market, and capable of embracing any outsiders who wish to enter. Although many of our local companies are unable to compete on the global platform, we are not afraid of any competition.”
Jose agreed with her point. “You are right in saying that T-K Group’s takeover plan was carried out in the wrong way. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Mei Shan Company had fierce determination, Ming Yuan had a kamikaze-style tenacity, NBJ had the courage to fight to the end, while Lanxin Company had the drive to win. How could such fearsome players be afraid of competition?
What they lacked was time.
The day would come when they would ascend to the global stage.
“The two people who caused your takeover plan to fail—Luo Le and Xia Ruya—perhaps Mr. Jose might want to conduct a thorough investigation into these two. You will realize then just what kind of people they are.”
Wen Xinya felt that this Jose guy wasn’t that detestable. That was why she had kindly offered this advice.
“That was my oversight.”
Jose was stunned. Chu was the one who had introduced Xia Ruya to him. He had checked into her background but didn’t dig too deeply.
Meanwhile, Luo Le’s background had been provided by Xia Ruya. He had only quickly perused the information.
After T-K Group’s takeover plan failed, Luo Le had gone missing and Xia Ruya was non-contactable. He had been in a muddle and overlooked this issue.
Wen Xinya leaned back against her chair. She kept silent, indicating that their private chat was over.
Jose spent some time collecting his thoughts before speaking again. “Miss Bella, I asked you here today to inform you of a decision by the board of directors of T-K Group’s headquarters in Country M. They are sincerely offering to withdraw from Country Z and to compensate Lanxin Company for all their losses. In return, we hope that you can rescind the lawsuit against the Group.”
With that, he placed the contract drawn by the board of directors in front of her.
He had looked through the contract and the terms were extremely generous. Before meeting Bella, Jose believed that most people would be tempted after reading the terms. But now that he had met her, he felt that T-K Group was just heaping more disgrace upon themselves by offering this contract.
Wen Xinya just gave a quick glance. “I won’t be looking at the contract. I already told the media that we will pursue the illegal copying matter right to the end. Those... were not just empty words. It’s not just me, everyone in Lanxin Company will not be tempted by any incentives.”
She had already expected T-K Group to offer a settlement.
After all, T-K Group would truly be finished if they really went to court with Lanxin Company.
Jose was exasperated. “Miss Bella, are you truly that confident of winning this court case? If I can be frank, Lanxin Company will not be unable to withstand the pressures of fighting a legal case against a world-renowned international corporation.”
Lanxin Company would probably be destroyed if they lost this lawsuit.
Wen Xinya replied mildly, “There is no need for Mr. Jose to worry about this.”
Jose wanted to continue persuading her but ended up shutting his mouth. Some people possessed an unshakable resolve, and Bella was clearly such a person.
