Chapter 1798 - Dont Worry, the Highlight of the Show Has Yet to Come (1/2)

The clashes in the business world did not involve smoke and fire, yet it was more scheming, cruel and dangerous compared to wars involving real guns and knives. The Wen Corporation, which stood strong in the city, lost half of what it had achieved in just a few short days and suffered heavy losses. Everyone felt regretful about it.

Almost anyone could see that the crisis that the Wen Corporation was currently facing was interwoven with the hugely successful Li Corporation. And honestly, what the Li Corporation was doing was just another mode of competition in the business world.

Except, Li Corporation was clever and Wen Corporation fell one step behind, causing them to become someone else’s stepping stone.

At the same time, the fights and conflicts occurring between Wen Corporation and Li Corporation were reported by someone else.

Everyone remembered that the Wen Family raised a girl as their own for twelve years, and that was the illegitimate child from the Xia Family. Today, she had become Xia Ruya, the successor to the Li Corporation.

Xia Ruya’s grievances with the Wen Family was well known amongst the upper-class society. Back then, Xia Ruya caused quite a lot of trouble, many of which were still fresh in people’s memories.

When they talked about Xia Ruya, it was nearly all negative news, and everyone had something bad to say about her.

Even if she became the successor of the Li Family, this point would never change.

Wen Corporation’s reputation in the business circle had always been quite good, but they were dragged down by the Li Corporation, which was about Xia Ruya being ungrateful. She caused a lot of negative news and was just an evil individual.

However, the truth was cruel.

Li Corporation was successful and had good standing. The more people scolded, mocked and despised them, their name and reputation, the more they grew bigger and the more their share prices increased, and so did their market share.

This was probably the effect of them being widely talked about in the entertainment circle.

Chu Jingnan curiously asked, “Based on what I know, those few distributors had been working with the Wen Corporation for many years and had good personal relations with Old Mr. Wen. What terms did you use to make them cooperate with you to bring down the Wen Corporation?”

Although in the business world profits were king, those distributors were some of the Wen Corporation’s closest business partners. This was well known in the upper-class society. Without enough benefits, who would be willing to cooperate with an unjust company and help bring down a trusted partner that they had worked with for many years?

“In business, there is no permanent friendship, only profits. I gave them a price three times better than what Wen Family offered, and they knew the situation well. They knew that the Wen Corporation would suffer under Li Corporation’s rise and would no longer be on top. They had no reason to cause themselves to suffer losses over friendship.”

However, what Xia Ruya did not tell Chu Jingnan was that she had approached over ten distributors that worked with the Wen Corporation, but they all rejected her over claims of image, reputation, loyalty, or relationship.

Ultimately, only three of the distributors agreed to her terms.

However, although it was only three of them, it was more than enough to cause a huge blow to Wen Corporation and let Old Mr. Wen taste the feeling of being betrayed.

Chu Jingnan held her in an embrace and praised her. “You know people and how to manipulate them so well. I am totally in awe of you.”

Chu Jingnan spoke the truth.

Compared to Xia Ruya, who was good at understanding and manipulating people, he was better at analysis and calculations.

The two of them made up for each other’s weaknesses.

Xia Ruya laughed out loud. “It’s only about profits, after all.”
