Chapter 1737 - The Takeover Battle Comes to an End (1/2)

After Country Z’s electronics industry previously defeated overseas takeovers, this was the second time such a rousing fight to protect local brands occurred. It was not that there had been no other cases of domestic companies successfully fending off foreign takeovers, but this time, Lanxin Company had gone against a world-renowned major enterprise. It was truly an inspiring battle.

Wen Xinya paused before saying in a low voice, “It is truly a cause to celebrate that Lanxin Company has won the lawsuit and the takeover battle against T-K Group. But I don’t feel any joy or excitement. My heart just feels very heavy.”

She paused again.

Everyone went quiet as they looked toward her.

It was as if her voice had a magical quality that could make others weep or laugh with her.

“This takeover battle spanned over two years. I don’t know if everyone still remembers Mei Shan Company, Ming Yuan and NBJ? These three local companies suffered massive losses, and the first two even went bankrupt because they tried to defend against T-K Group’s takeover attempts.”

Wen Xinya’s pained voice was magnified by the reporters’ microphones. She also sounded a bit hoarse, which further accentuated her bitterness.

Silence descended across the courtyard.

It was obvious everyone remembered it all.

Some things were just impossible to forget.

Wen Xinya reached up to gently pinch her mask. With tears in her eyes, she continued, “Country Z’s newly-established health supplements market was nearly utterly destroyed because of this takeover battle. We have finally won the battle, but it was a pyrrhic victory. We paid a terrible price.”

Wen Xinya truly felt this takeover battle had been too cruel.

Even Lanxin Company had suffered major losses.

She had invested more than half of her own personal assets into Lanxin Company just to ensure its survival.

The words “pyrrhic victory” revealed just how dreary and desolate she felt.

Everyone at present was moved by her words.

“Many people lost their jobs and were forced into dire straits because of this takeover battle. They were just innocent bystanders but had to suffer the cruel consequences of this war.”

Having led a wandering life for 15 years, Wen Xinya was especially sensitive to the suffering of the common folk.

Her words stirred the hearts of everyone present, as well as countless viewers sitting in front of the television.

“As a result, I staked in everything I had just to win this takeover battle and deal T-K Group a lethal blow. I want them to know that the citizens of Country Z are no pushovers!”

And she did it!

The crowd erupted in exhilarated cheers.

***

Wen Xinya found it hard to calm down her emotions after leaving the courthouse.

Si Yiyan asked in a low voice, “Are you happy that you personally defeated a corporate behemoth like T-K Group?”

Wen Xinya had defeated a company as powerful as T-K Group all on her own. She didn’t rely on anyone else. Even the help provided by NBJ at the beginning had been minimal.

Not just anyone could defeat a major global enterprise all on their own.

Wen Xinya shook her head. “I can’t say I am happy or not. I just feel a sense of regret. This two-year battle has created a big mess out of Country Z’s health supplements market. All the brands suffered losses. I don’t know how long will it take for this industry to recover.”
