After hearing this, Qiao Zhengcheng understood Du Meiling's true intention: Du Yangqiu hoped to use him as a middleman to urge his daughter and partners to stop fighting.

Does this mean that Huaning wants to reconcile? A giant in the southern electrical appliance industry is seeking peace with a newly established small company?

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhengcheng was very surprised and asked, "Is this what your eldest brother meant?"

"Well, after all, we are all family. Fighting each other is ridiculous." Du Meiling explained, "My brother thinks that continuing the struggle is not good for both sides. He proposed that Hualong be merged into Huaning. Since we have the same roots, why should we divide it into two systems?"

Qiao Zhengcheng couldn't help laughing.

This so-called peace request is actually to force Hualong to surrender or even be acquired.

Want to annex Hualong...

First, he had to get his daughter's approval. Knowing his daughter, she would never agree.

Not to mention Zhou Qi. This young man founded Hualong and has been competing with Huaning to this point. Suddenly, he is asked to let go?

Simply impossible.

"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do that." Qiao Zhengcheng looked at Du Meiling and said, "If they want to discuss the acquisition, let them communicate directly."

Du Meiling gently pushed him and said, "You can't just ignore it. After all, we are a family. As Xueying's father, you should at least ask. Big brother has already asked, how can you justify not asking? Maybe Xueying is just holding on, you might as well give her a way out."

In fact, this was a test by Du Yangqiu. He knew that Hualong was a company founded by Qiao Xuying and her son's love rival.

How much capital can a young man have? He guessed that Qiao Zhengcheng was probably the one funding him from behind.

If this is the case, then Hua Ning has found the right negotiating partner; even if not, Qiao Zhengcheng, as a father, can still exert influence.

In short, Qiao Zhengcheng is the most suitable candidate for negotiation.

At the insistence of his wife, Qiao Zhengcheng had no choice but to call his daughter and convey Hua Ning's intention.

After hearing the news, Qiao Xuying sneered in her heart.

But she did not express her opinion immediately. Instead, she contacted Zhou Qi immediately after hanging up the phone: "Mr. Zhou, Hua Ning came to my father and wanted to discuss the acquisition."

Acquisition? Zhou Qi found it funny and understood the other party's intention.

"We can discuss acquisitions, but it's not them buying us, it's us buying them," Zhou Qi said firmly. "There will only be one winner in this competition, Hualong. We will not accept any form of compromise."

joke!

You initiated the price war, but now you don't want to fight but want to discuss acquisition? Are you treating Hualong as a soft persimmon?

Afterwards, Qiao Xuying told her father exactly what Zhou Qi said.

After learning about this, Du Meiling was so angry that she almost overturned the table.

What a shame!

Since you don't appreciate the opportunity I gave you, I'll just let you reap what you sow.

Then she called Du Yangqiu.

After listening to the report, anger burned in Du Yangqiu's eyes.

You really don't know your place. How dare you refuse to surrender?

Okay, very good!

Then let’s continue the fight and see how powerful Hualong is.

"Sister, Qiao Xueying is too ignorant. But one thing is certain, Zhengcheng did not provide financial support. He is just a young man. He is Xueying's partner, but I don't think he has that much money. Since he is so arrogant, let us wear him down."

Du Meiling said coldly.

Du Yangqiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know this kid's background?"

"I don't know," Du Meiling replied, "but he seems to have made a lot of money from the subscription certificates."

Subscription certificate? Du Yangqiu sneered.

I see. Just after making a fortune, he wants to become rich overnight. How audacious!

Unfortunately, I chose the wrong opponent.

To go against Huaning would only lead to self-destruction.

He smiled contemptuously: "By the way, tell Qiao Zhengcheng that this matter is not aimed at the Qiao family. I have given them the opportunity and have shown my sincerity. As for the rest... don't blame me for being ruthless."

Naturally, the acquisition did not come to fruition. The two sides were caught in a protracted war.

At first, only the store in Hai City was losing money, but Huaning still had 84 stores in other cities and was still profitable overall.

However, as competition intensified and sales rose, losses gradually spread to the entire group.

Du Yangqiu was under tremendous pressure from shareholders, but he was determined to stick to it.

On July 1st, Huaning held a shareholders' meeting to review the work in the first half of the year.

Unlike previous years, the atmosphere at this meeting was particularly heavy. A shareholder questioned: "Mr. Du, Hualong has been around for a month. Apart from consuming them, what other countermeasures do we have? Do we really plan to keep consuming them?"

The continued losses affected the dividends at the end of the year. Some shareholders believed that even if Hualong existed, as long as it did not affect profit, there was no need to fight to the death.

After all, the essence of business is to make a profit.

Du Yangqiu gently stroked his fingers and said slowly: "I tried to negotiate the acquisition with Hualong, but the other party directly refused with a tough attitude and claimed that they would fight with us Huaning to the end."

"Fight to the end?" Everyone was surprised, followed by a chorus of disdain.

"Too arrogant, aren't they? They actually dare to say they want to fight to the death with us, Huaning? We must teach them a lesson. I want to see who is more powerful."

Another shareholder echoed: "Yes, this is a clear provocation."

Before this, no company dared to publicly express its determination to fight Huaning to the end, not even Xia Mei in the northern market dared to challenge it easily.

So, why is the little Hualong so arrogant?

Soon, the development of events will prove everything.

At the shareholders' meeting of Huaning Company, all shareholders have just reached a consensus: to defeat the competitor Hualong at all costs.

However, at ten o'clock in the morning, when the meeting was in full swing, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

Chairman Du Yangqiu was quite dissatisfied with this sudden interruption, but he still gestured for the visitor to come in.

"What's the matter?" Du Yangqiu asked. The man glanced at the people in the room, cleared his throat and said, "Boss Du, Hualong opened in multiple cities today."

The conference room suddenly fell silent. Everyone was on edge.

"What do you mean by full opening? Explain clearly." A shareholder asked anxiously.

The reporter seemed a little nervous and continued, “Hualong is now present in all the cities where we have stores.

There was no news about it before, but it suddenly appeared today, and there was no prior publicity. Just half an hour ago, various places began to advertise heavily, announcing opening specials and a 30% price reduction on goods. "

The news exploded in the conference room like a bomb.

Someone questioned: "You mean all the markets covered by Huaning?"

Everyone was in disbelief.

You know, Hualong not only confronted Huaning head-on, but also quietly expanded to other cities and directly occupied Huaning's territory.

What a huge amount of financial support is needed behind this operation!
