Chapter 1250

What to do now?

This question was asked very well. Everyone in the room was thinking about this question and possible countermeasures.

However, this question was obviously not so easy to solve, just like the question after the math teacher said "assume" in the sixth-grade math class, making life become confused and lost.

"The peers in Likalai State have already begun to buy large tracts of land around Sheer City. Obviously, they intend to use the new city as a springboard, trying to use their dirty tentacles to touch our cake."

"We must fight back!"

A president said this sentence very severely. Everyone was nodding, agreeing with his point of view, but how to fight back was a problem.

The president of the group company sat there, his gaze constantly lingering on the faces of other members, seeming to want to find something from them.

But unfortunately, those people who always had many ideas and methods before became speechless at this time.

Some people even noticed his gaze, immediately lowered their heads slightly, and looked elsewhere, unwilling to have any eye contact with him.

Lanse, Wanli Group, too hard to deal with.

The group president seemed to be saying to himself, and also to these people, "Let these foreign jackals enter our territory. If we don't fight back, they will soon turn from jackals into wolves, and finally into lions that want to swallow everything."

"Go talk to Lanse White. Tell him we can make concessions. Let the suppliers continue to supply goods to them. Give them whatever they want, at the most favorable price. It can be at no profit!"

Another financial group member asked in a tone with some doubt, "Is it necessary for us to make such a big concession?"

"His construction cost might be several hundred million, our gross profit might be over one hundred million or more. Is it really necessary for us to make such a big concession for the sake of consensus on some issues?"

That was a profit of one or two hundred million!

Even if they couldn't eat the most delicious part of the cake in Lanse's hands, why did they still have to throw away these within reach?

"Are we not Lanse and Wanli Group's opponents?"

"We haven't competed yet..."

The president directly raised his hand to interrupt his words, "How do we deal with those disobedient enterprises in the canal?"

The financial group member whose words were interrupted was not angry either. Everyone was discussing, and the purpose was for the good of the financial group and for their own personal interests.

He answered without hesitation, "Defeat them in business, make them go bankrupt, and finally acquire everything they have."

The president nodded slowly, "Yes, this is our usual method."

He said, looking at the others, "Fight a price war with them, let them not make money on their products, and the more they sell, the more they lose."

"Increase the blow to them from the financial market, contact the bank to recover their loans in advance..."

"We have many ways to deal with them, because they are 'together' with us."

"Perhaps you find it hard to understand this concept...", his hand subconsciously played with his fountain pen, but his gaze fell on others, "Whatever they sell, we sell. Our price is lower than theirs, more favorable than theirs, forcing them to fight a price war with us."

"So we can win. We use sufficient capital and anti-risk ability to shatter their insufficient capital and insufficient anti-risk ability, and then dismember them, using their corpses to nourish ourselves."

"But Wanli Group is different. The fields we operate and the fields they operate don't have any overlap."

"They mainly operate in the film industry, tourism, theme amusement parks, and casinos and so on."

"Gentlemen, do we operate similar projects?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and finally shook their heads one after another. They had never operated these projects.

Because of the development of the Federation's territory, the East has always developed first, and the West has developed later, so the Western region is relatively lagging behind in the lane of social development.

To put it more simply and popularly, when movies in the East began to appear in a blowout manner, the West had just begun to have some film companies, and they were still shooting some outdated films.

This led to more excellent filmmakers running to the East. They needed to improve their abilities in a professional environment, which formed a talent siphon phenomenon.

Once someone stands out in this field, they will inevitably leave here.

Other industries are about the same. People hope to go to beautiful and wealthy coastal cities in the East for vacation, rather than coming to the rough gravel beach in the West that has not been carefully developed to hurt their feet.

Local financial groups have not been involved in these businesses, or have some involvement, but cannot form a competitive relationship with the Wanli Group.

If you cannot form commercial competition, you cannot talk about fighting a price war or anything. Selling beef for twenty cents a pound cannot make the price of Lanse's movie tickets return to five cents. This has no lethality to them.

No lethality means no threat, which means they cannot defeat these opponents.

The president's words made everyone understand his meaning. He looked at these people in the room, "We can't get anything to threaten him. On the contrary, those capitalists he brought, capitalists from Likalai State, have places where they can confront us."

"We don't occupy an advantage, and they don't occupy a disadvantage. So once both sides start fighting, our losses will be unpredictable."

"Although we occupy the local advantage, these advantages are not enough for us to overturn the Wanli Group."

"Compared to losing tens of millions or hundreds of millions in profit in the next competition, I am more inclined to bow to Lanse and apologize. Although this will make us look not so good on the face, it can make us get real benefits."

He looked at several board members and pointed to a few people, "You guys go contact Lanse and see how we can resolve the misunderstanding on this issue."

"As long as it's not a concession of principle...", he pursed his lips, his expression showing some heartache, "then promise him."

In his view, this was already his greatest sincerity. As for the future?

Anyway, the things they operate are not the same. It is very likely that there will be no chance of contact. As for whether the local financial group will go into the tourism industry or film industry?

Without a doubt, they will definitely set about trying, especially the film industry. This booming industry has also been understood by them recently. This is indeed an industry where it is easy to make money, perhaps it will become the next important project of the financial group.

Several people with tasks didn't dare to stay and came to the outside of Lanse's office. Although both sides knew what the other party had done, they finally didn't completely tear their faces.

Lanse received them.

When several people entered the office, Lanse was sitting behind the desk, neither getting up nor intending to shake hands with them.

He pointed to the chairs in front of him, and didn't even say an invitation, just used actions to let them sit down.

"My time is limited, so I hope we can make the words simple and transparent."

"Saving time is equal to saving life."

He leaned back, "So, gentlemen, what good news or bad news are you bringing me today?"

After several people sat down, the leader had a warm smile on his face, "Mr. White, how could we bring bad news?"

"Of course, we are bringing some good news. The President knew about some things that happened recently and was very angry about the decision of the suppliers below to stop supply without authorization."

"These two days, we have been internally punishing some suppliers who participated in the union action."

"We deducted some suppliers' deposits and terminated contracts with some suppliers. They have already paid the price for their stupid behavior!"

"The President really didn't know about these things. By the time we knew, it was already hard to save. He entrusted me to bring his ten thousand apologies..."

Lanse smiled and interrupted him, "If he really felt sorry, he should stand here and apologize to me, instead of entrusting you to say these things."

The leader who was interrupted by Lanse was stunned for a moment, and then immediately added, "The President indeed wanted to apologize in person very much. When I left, he also told me about this matter, but he is sick now. Coming to see you with a sick body is an impolite behavior. He hopes that after we resolve some misunderstandings and his illness improves, we can sit down and apologize to you in person, Mr. White."

Lanse shook his head, "Actually, you don't need to apologize."
