Chapter 203 Incredibly Young! If You Don't Accept the Toast, You'll Be Punished
Chapter 203 Unbelievably Young! If You Don't Accept a Toast, You Will Be Punished [1 Update]
With Jiang Xulin's guidance, the blond man was able to enter the special elevator.
At this moment, his mood was tense and a little complicated.
At first, he underestimated Wan Tianqing, but he didn't expect to be played around by the other party.
The chairman of Wan Tianqing must be a shrewd and calculating person.
He has only been the president of Saint Lais Shenzhou District for two years. When facing such an opponent, he couldn't help but feel a little timid.
Until he arrived at the chairman's office on the 24th floor, the blond man's hands were still shaking and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Mr. Ye." Jiang Xulin knocked on the door, glanced at the blond man, and then spoke, "The president of Saint Lais Shenzhou District came to see you specially, and the time is exactly the same as you expected."
This sentence made the blond man suddenly stunned.
"Come in."
The clear and cold voice fell, as if it startled a cool breeze on the ground.
The door was open and the light poured in.
After the blond man was taken in, he could see the person sitting behind the black desk.
It was a girl, not wearing formal clothes, but ordinary summer casual clothes.
But she sat there, as if the king had returned, examining everything.
The blond man's brain stopped working, and his thoughts were all scattered at this moment.
Isn't this the assistant who came to their Jiangcheng branch with Jiang Xulin that day?
How could she be the chairman of Wantianqing Company? !
The girl in front of him was definitely not more than 20 years old!
But she had a kind of restrained strength that had settled over the years, making it impossible for people to look at her.
After a long time, the blond man suddenly came back to his senses, but immediately lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Mr. Ye, we did something wrong in this matter. I apologize, and please raise your hand."
"I said, the negotiation is over." Ye Wanlan said lightly, "I gave you a chance before, but unfortunately, you didn't grasp it firmly."
And to annihilate the enemy, you often have to do your best.
Otherwise, giving the other party time to hide their strength and make a comeback in the future would put oneself in danger.
She would never do such a thing.
"Yes, it's us..." How could the blond man not think at this moment that the previous negotiation was the last way out for him left by Wantianqing Company.
But at that time, he only felt that he had won, and did not realize that this was a warning, so he missed the chance to survive.
He is less than 40 years old this year, and is in his rising period. He doesn't want to be sent to prison like this!
"I can withdraw the lawsuit, but I want you to withdraw from the Shenzhou market within three days." Ye Wanlan could see his thoughts at a glance, "Otherwise, we will see you in the international court."
The blond man's lips trembled fiercely, and his face was gray and pale: "There is no need to go to such a point, and whether or not to withdraw from the Shenzhou market is not something I can decide alone."
At first, he did not report to the headquarters, let alone the MN Group, because he thought that this time the business war with Wantianqing Company, he was sure to win.
But he never expected that everything was a trick by the other party to lure him into a trap.
He didn't even react, he had already failed miserably.
"This is not my business." Ye Wanlan raised his head, "Whatever you do, you have to pay the corresponding price for it, right?"
The blond man took a deep breath: "Isn't Mr. Ye too cruel?"
Hearing this, Ye Wanlan smiled suddenly: "Cruel? I admit it."
Cruel?
It is indeed very cruel.
If it is not cruel, there will be more company brands like Saint Rice, stealing Chinese culture quietly.
The blond man knew that no matter how much he begged, it would be useless: "I will contact the headquarters and convey all of Mr. Ye's intentions. If you hadn't registered..."
If Wantianqing Company hadn't registered the copyright early, and even concealed it from the company's employees, Saint Rice would be the final winner in this battle!
"Hey, you Saint Rice people really like to blame others." Fang Qingli snorted coldly, "You were the first to poach people and plagiarize. Our chairman just took precautions in advance. If you are not as good as others, just shut up."
Ye Wanlan finally spoke again, with one concise word: "Get lost."
The blond man left the chairman's office in embarrassment.
"This is really a relief." Jiang Xulin was in a very good mood. "The new recruits have also started to learn Su embroidery. They have signed confidentiality and non-compete agreements to prevent such things from happening again in the future."
Ye Wanlan nodded: "Well, there is no need to hide the skills of Su embroidery. We still need to promote Su embroidery. The more people who know it, the more prosperous the culture will be. But we can't keep any covetous people."
"You really are..." Jiang Xulin was a little surprised. He shook his head and said, "If it were another boss, he would want to hide all the exclusive skills, but you still want to promote it."
Ye Wanlan smiled: "Making money is not my goal, but to ensure that my goal is successfully completed."
"What is your goal?" Jiang Xulin touched his chin, "But to be honest, I am not interested in money. Maybe the only thing I don't lack is money."
Fang Qingli gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and hit him on the head.
"Hey!" Jiang Xulin held his head, "What are you doing? You are back to the Fang family, you are not short of money."
Fang Qingli sneered: "This doesn't stop me from hating the rich, especially the rich like you."
Jiang Xulin: "..."
"Goal?" Ye Wanlan looked into the distance and smiled slightly, "To create a real national brand, an internationally recognized brand, and let the Chinese culture go to the world."
This is her goal.
Hearing this, Jiang Xulin let out a long breath: "This goal is really big. To be honest, my aunt has not been able to achieve this for so long."
It is true that there are many skills in China. Whether it is ancient jewelry or Yunjin Su embroidery, each one can shock the world.
Brocade is even more "every inch of brocade is worth a inch of gold", and its value is by no means comparable to the ready-made clothes and bags of international top luxury brands.
But it is because of the lack of a successful brand that these skills do not have enough living space in the world.
"So that's the goal." Ye Wanlan looked lazy, "Things that are not difficult are not called goals, but casual."
Jiang Xulin was silent.
He has always been arrogant and proud, but since he met Ye Wanlan, he seems to have strayed into the world of a perverted lunatic.
**
The plagiarism storm between Saint Lais and Wan Tianqing has become the hottest topic of discussion these days.
Many people have spontaneously organized to boycott Saint Lais.
For a time, Saint Lais stores in major cities in Shenzhou were deserted.
[It was agreed at the beginning that whoever plagiarized would withdraw from the Shenzhou market. Saint Lais will not go back on his word, right? ]
[Anyone can use Suzhou embroidery, even the patterns are the same, this is stealing! ]
[I used to be a loyal customer of Saint Lais, and from today on I will no longer buy Saint Lais' clothes. I will start to resist plagiarism. ]
However, the blond man had no time to take care of these, because it involved stealing other people's company secrets, and he himself could not protect himself.
The matter was so big that the news naturally spread to the headquarters-
Xingman Federation Empire, MN Group.
MN Group is one of the largest luxury empires in the world, with dozens of luxury brands in different fields under its command.
Saint-Layes is a light luxury brand that can't even rank in the top 30 in the MN Group.
But the impact of this incident is very bad, and the MN Group has to intervene.
"The senior executives in the Shenzhou District will definitely not be able to keep it." The special assistant whispered, "Saint-Layes must withdraw from the Shenzhou market..."
This is simply a slap in the face of the MN Group.
"Go tell Wantianqing Company that our headquarters already knows about the incident caused by Saint Rice's Shenzhou Division." The director's expression was a little contemptuous, "Saint Rice will never withdraw from the Shenzhou market. Even if we agree, their Shenzhou consumers will never agree."
The special assistant was surprised, but he could understand: "Yes."
"Our biggest concession is to apologize publicly and replace all the senior executives of the Shenzhou Division." The director said coldly, "The rest is impossible."
"But the other party's attitude is very tough." The special assistant hesitated, "If we can't give a perfect compensation measure, what if it really causes a huge blow to the company's revenue..."
"It's not that I don't want to bow my head, but unfortunately, it's their Shenzhou consumers who have the longest memory." The director sneered, full of sarcasm, "Even if there is a short-term boycott, what does it matter? As long as a period of time passes, this matter will be turned over sooner or later, and their consumers will flock in again."
Five years ago, Cyrus, one of the world's three top luxury brands, had a clip in a promotional video that intentionally or unintentionally insulted Shenzhou with the battle of ten thousand armies three hundred years ago.
The incident broke out, the whole nation boycotted, and finally Cyrus apologized and removed the video.
However, in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
To this day, Cyrus's annual revenue in Shenzhou is still as high as tens of billions. When new products are released quarterly, there will be long queues at the store entrance.
The special assistant understood: "I'll connect now."
A cross-border overseas call was made to the chairman's office where Ye Wanlan was.
Ye Wanlan picked up the call and pressed the hands-free key.
Fang Qingli also understood and took out the recorder.
After hearing the reply from MN Group, Jiang Xulin jumped up again: "You——"
Ye Wanlan stopped him and said calmly: "That's it?"
"Do you know who was affected by the loss in the end?" The director laughed, "It's your intangible cultural heritage craftsmen!"
Jiang Xulin's face was extremely ugly.
"Tell me, no matter how strong your Shenzhou's cultural heritage is and how long it has a history of 5,000 years, what can it do?" The director shook his head, "After so many years, do you have luxury brands recognized by the international community and the public? No."
What can you do to fight against MN Group, which has countless luxury brands under its command?
Don't refuse a toast, or you will be punished.
Good morning~~
