Chapter 1283 - 1298: The Awesome Tang Sect
Lin Mu chuckled and then said, "What do you think?"Fan Yihui was startled upon hearing the voice, suddenly lifted her head, and when she saw Lin Mu in front of her, there was a hint of delight on her face, along with a bit of surprise.
"Brother Lin, why are you back?" Fan Yihui asked, looking at Lin Mu with delight and surprise.
"Haha, not welcoming me?"
"Of course you are welcome, Brother Lin, as you say, oh gosh, you see I haven't tidied things up, the room is particularly messy, and my hair and clothes are not tidy, really so rushed..."
"Haha, that's even better, I like this natural and simple Fan Yihui!" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Brother Lin, sit down, I'll make tea for you!" Fan Yihui had a sweet smile on her face and immediately got up to make a cup of coffee for Lin Mu.
Lin Mu looked at Fan Yihui's fair and delicate face, leaned in to give a kiss, and said, "Haven't seen Brother for a few days, missed me?"
Fan Yihui's face immediately turned rosy after Lin Mu kissed her.
"Of course I missed you," Fan Yihui replied shyly.
"Hey, let Brother give you a hug," Lin Mu said with a laugh.
Fan Yihui obediently sat down next to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu wrapped his arm around Fan Yihui's slender waist, hugged her close, and then his hands became rather mischievous.
Fan Yihui's ever-shy face was now deep red, like a ripe apple, making Lin Mu tempted to take a bite.
"How's work recently?" Lin Mu asked, holding Fan Yihui's slender waist.
"It's alright, Flying Dragon Group's business is getting bigger, the accounts are incredibly numerous lately, I find it kind of overwhelming," Fan Yihui replied.
Lin Mu knew handling these tasks was indeed a heavy load for Fan Yihui. Especially since Flying Dragon is very different from the small company it once was with just a couple of million. Now Flying Dragon's industry has grown manyfold, with total capital reaching several billion, so Fan Yihui alone managing the financials is a blessing she hasn't collapsed under the pressure!
"Tomorrow I'll find someone to help you, it's too exhausting for one person," Lin Mu said.
"Hm, thank you, Brother Lin!" Fan Yihui remained in her shy state.
"Haha, why be so courteous with Brother Lin?" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Alright," Fan Yihui nodded.
After chatting with Fan Yihui for about half an hour, Lin Mu returned to the president's office at the top floor of Yunhai Mansion.
"Hey Feifei, Brother is back, I'm ready, how about you?" Lin Mu said excitedly.
Sophie glanced at Lin Mu, with a less pleasant expression, she said to Lin Mu, "Something happened."
"Oh, what happened?" Lin Mu asked in surprise. He'd been out for only half an hour, how could something have happened?
"Xiaowan just reported that clients from the North China region are all intending to terminate their cooperation with us. If our collaborations with North China companies terminate, our company's performance will decline sharply, and this along with the stock drop will pose a severe blow to us," Sophie said seriously. With her rich experience in business warfare, she knew the consequences of this were dire.
"Why do they want to terminate cooperation with us?" Lin Mu asked, puzzled. Considering Su's Great Enterprise's capabilities, they should be eager to collaborate with Su's Great Enterprise, so why terminate?
Sophie sighed and said, "It's the North China Tang Sect stirring up trouble behind the scenes. In the North China region, in terms of economic status, the North China Tang Sect stands at the top, and its status in the North China Business Community is significant; many companies, including our collaborating big companies, rely on the North China Tang Sect. They might have received directives from the North China Tang Sect, daring not to cooperate with us, fearing offending the North China Tang Sect. Even if they offend us, they strive to collaborate with the North China Tang Sect, because if they align with us and offend the North China Tang Sect, they might face doom!"
"Damn, is the North China Tang Sect really so domineering in the North China region?" Lin Mu was quite irritated.
"Indeed domineering, one could say they control the economic lifeline of the entire North China region, so those companies are also intimidated by the North China Tang Sect," Sophie nodded and further stated, "The North China Tang Sect is the strongest commercial family, they've hit our economic lifeline like delivering a heavy punch to us!"
"Wow, if it's like this, how much do we lose daily?" Lin Mu asked.
"We could say half of our inland economic income is reduced, not to mention overseas," Sophie said.
"Half of the income? That's billions," Lin Mu said.
"Yes, there's nothing we can do; this is North China Tang Sect's best combat method. They play economic games better than us, it's like you fighting regular martial artists; they have greater financial resources, and I can't guess their attack patterns, while our attack methods mean nothing to them!" Sophie said.
"What should we do now?" Lin Mu asked urgently; in truth, Lin Mu knew little about commercial warfare, this was all up to Sophie.
Sophie was also quite troubled, she shook her head and said, "Actually, I can't think of a good solution, North China Tang Sect is confined to the North China region, we simply can't intervene, even if we could, it's just a drop in the ocean, futile. Dealing with North China Tang Sect is extremely difficult, they are a century-old commercial family with substantial financial resources and unparalleled business acumen. To devise countermeasures against them is indeed limited! Because many of my business tactics are just superficial knowledge learned from them!"
"So they're that powerful! If that's the case, I'll just use force to solve them once and for all," Lin Mu said.
"But they only engage in commercial battles, which in the business world can feel scarier than real warfare since it happens constantly, only varying in scale; there's no need to use brutal means to solve the problem!" Sophie said.
"Not necessarily, exploit strengths to cover weaknesses; if commercial battles can't beat them, why not use your force?" Lin Mu retorted. In his view, combat means using one's strengths to attack another's weaknesses. Isn't North China Tang Sect great at commercial battles? Let them play by themselves! Flying Dragon Gang will engage them in force; we'll see who yields, brutally speaking, I cure all forms of defiance!"
"Even so, dealing with North China Tang Sect won't be easy, they have immense financial power, and in this society, as long as you have money, you can do many things others can't!" Sophie explained.
