Chapter 120: Successfully Winning Over Qi Meiyu!

"General Manager Qi, Qinge has several new products about to launch. May I ask if you have time to come and take a look?"

"Thank you for the invitation, but I've been very busy lately, so I won't be going!"

What does Tang Ye mean?

Is he mocking her for plagiarizing?

Qi Meiyu had seen the news about Qinge online.

The overwhelming praise gave people the illusion that Qinge had become the number one choice for national women's lingerie.

"General Manager Qi, please don't misunderstand. I am sincerely inviting you to come over and have a chat. If you are willing to come to Pinghu, I can persuade Boss Gu to drop the lawsuit!"

She had originally thought that if Tang Ye called, it would either be to hold her accountable or to show off in a victorious manner.

She hadn't expected Tang Ye to sincerely invite her to Pinghu to resolve the conflict!

What is this supposed to be?

Taking a hit from your iron rod, only to be stuffed with a date afterwards?

"I know that there were unpleasantries between you and Qinge. Even lovers have arguments, let alone business partners. I heard you are currently in a lawsuit with Qinge, and I feel quite anxious about it. It is better to resolve grievances than to harbor them; it is best to be forgiving when one can. If you ask me, you might as well make the trip. Let's sit down and clear things up in person."

Qi Meiyu was stunned for a moment; she knew Tang Ye was the mastermind behind Qinge.

Therefore, once Tang Ye relented, it meant Gu Wenqin would also agree to a settlement.

"Alright, I will come to Pinghu tomorrow."

"Thank you for giving me face, General Manager Qi. I will call Boss Gu later and try my best to persuade her."

Upon learning that Tang Ye intended to drop the lawsuit, Gu Wenqin was quite surprised, "Are we really going to reconcile? Qi Meiyu snatched away many of our clients and caused us heavy losses."

"Has Qinge's sales volume seen a serious decline during this period?"

"No, it has been rising steadily."

Tang Ye checked Qinge's financial reports every month.

"Qinge has not declined; on the contrary, the growth momentum is getting faster and faster.

Qi Meiyu's initial choice to stop cooperating with us did not have any negative impact on us at all.

This is the magic of the internet; new buyers appear every month, and the growth rate of buyers develops through fission.

If we want to expand the market share of a certain industry, relying on our company alone is far from enough. Qinge currently only has three or four hundred people, most of whom are workers, so publicity and promotion require outside help. Our competitors are also promoting their products; by working together to expand the overall share, as long as we get the biggest piece of the cake, we are the biggest winners."

This was the first time Gu Wenqin had heard such a novel theory.

In her worldview, competitors were in a life-or-death relationship.

But Tang Ye believed that competitors could actually be viewed as allies.

It was mainly because Gu Wenqin could not see the arrival of the dividend era, which would subvert the original business logic.

"I'll listen to you."

Gu Wenqin felt that since she couldn't understand it, she would simply stop trying to.

Tang Ye wanted her to reconcile with Qi Meiyu, so she would do as Tang Ye thought best.

She was still grateful to Qi Meiyu; after all, the first pot of gold that brought Qinge back from the brink of death had been provided by Qi Meiyu.

"This time when Qi Meiyu comes, it's not just to reach a settlement, but also to persuade her to join us."

"Will she agree?"

Gu Wenqin had some understanding of Qi Meiyu's capabilities. If she were willing to join Qinge, it would be of great benefit to the expansion of Qinge's channels.

The network resources Qi Meiyu had access to in Yunhai were far greater than those of Gu Wenqin and her team, and furthermore, she had overseas export channels.

"She wouldn't have agreed before, but now, that's not necessarily the case."

Tang Ye was full of confidence about this.

The next day, in the afternoon.

Qi Meiyu arrived in Pinghu.

Tang Ye received Qi Meiyu at the Government office.

Qi Meiyu watched Tang Ye smiling from ear to ear, feeling a sense of bitterness in her heart, yet she still maintained a calm and indifferent expression on her face.

Her state of mind was completely different from her second visit to Pinghu.

Last time she was full of ambition; this time she was dejected.

"General Manager Qi, are you considering staying in Hanzhou for a few more days this time? You can have General Manager Sun take you to see the tourist attractions in Hanzhou."

Qi Meiyu gave Sun Hai a faint smile, "Then I will trouble General Manager Sun."

Tang Ye exchanged a few pleasantries and then got to the point, "General Manager Qi, after the friction of the past period, I believe you have a better understanding of Qinge. Inviting you here this time, besides letting you bury the hatchet, there is another important matter: I would like to invite you to join Qinge."

Qi Meiyu was taken aback, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, "Town Mayor Tang, I once proposed to invest in Qinge before the New Year, but now I'm afraid the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

Back then, Qi Meiyu had brought tens of millions in cash, wanting to buy a stake in Qinge.

But in just a few months, Qi Meiyu had become deeply mired in investment failures, the lawsuit with Qinge, and being pursued by partners for breach of contract penalties, among many other predicaments.

Qi Meiyu's company was already tottering, and she simply couldn't come up with any money.

Tang Ye glanced at Gu Wenqin.

Gu Wenqin understood and said sincerely to Qi Meiyu, "You misunderstood. We don't need you to invest; rather, we want to invite you to become our partner. You understand the lingerie industry very well and are very capable. Qinge is still very young and needs experienced management talent like you to fight alongside us. We hope you can become our partner."

Qi Meiyu was quite surprised!

Only then did she realize that this trip was to persuade her to join Qinge.

If this had been a few months ago, Qi Meiyu certainly wouldn't have looked twice at Qinge.

But now, Qinge's potential was plain for all to see.

"These are the sales figures for the online store from March 16th to the 18th!" Tang Ye handed the report to Qi Meiyu.

A look of disbelief flashed in Qi Meiyu's beautiful eyes.

"The single-day sales volume has broken through one million?!"

"That's right. This figure will drop later on, but it has already proven the potential of Qinge." Tang Ye saw the expression between Qi Meiyu's brows constantly changing and said with a smile, "I believe you will seriously consider Boss Gu's invitation. You also don't need to answer immediately; Qinge has enough patience for you!"

Qi Meiyu's brows relaxed, and a look of relief appeared at the corners of her mouth, "I have considered it; I am willing to join Qinge!"

Gu Wenqin took the initiative to walk toward Qi Meiyu and opened her arms.

Qi Meiyu's smile was mixed with a hint of complexity.

One elegant and delicate, one charming and fashionable, the two women embraced each other.

"General Manager Qi, thank you for joining. I believe that if we work hard together, we will definitely be able to make Qinge fly higher and higher."

Next was to discuss the details of the partnership.

While called a partnership, it was actually an acquisition.

Qi Meiyu used her company in Yunhai to buy into the firm, obtaining three percent of Qinge's shares.

One must know that the Yunhai company was mired in disputes and debts, having effectively become an empty shell.

And Qinge's growth momentum was rapid.

After signing the agreement, Qinge would drop the lawsuit, and as for Qi Meiyu, she would also be freed from the lawsuit.

The Yunhai company would have a chance to catch its breath and then find a way to resolve the issue of the breach-of-contract damages.

For Qi Meiyu, this was already the best choice at the moment!

Qi Meiyu felt her head spinning!

Who could have imagined that at the moment she was on the verge of bankruptcy, Qinge would still set aside past grievances to provide help in her time of need!
