Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

After all, although Huaning has apparently withdrawn from the competition, it still retains certain strength and has many stores in Shanghai.

What if Hua Ning is accumulating strength to prepare for a counterattack? Then this is the best time. Once Hua Long and Hua Ning form an alliance to fight against Xi Lin, the situation will become complicated and unpredictable.

Moreover, considering the secret competition between the two sides over the years, they have long been familiar with each other's routines.

So, Wang Zhen suggested: "Chairman, maybe we can try to communicate with Du Yangqiu and propose cooperation intentions. They don't need to do too much, just make sure they don't get involved in the current battle.

In return, we will promise to always respect their market share in Shanghai. This will not only eliminate potential threats, but also allow Huaning to be a regional brand with peace of mind.”

After hearing this, Pang Yulin slowly lit a cigar and said, "Your words make sense. Let's take action and find out the old man's true intentions."

“My position has not changed.”

"If he dares to provoke, then he will bear the consequences."

Wang Zhen picked up the phone and dialed Du Yangqiu's number. After years of business competition, both parties were already familiar with each other's existence.

When the phone rang, Du Yangqiu felt a little surprised, especially at such a sensitive moment.

After a while, he realized the purpose of Wang Zhen's call and couldn't help but sneer.

As the saying goes, when a man is in trouble, he is worse than a dog. Now he has fallen to the point where a general manager has to convey information.

Although there was no obvious sense of oppression in the words, the threat behind them was self-evident.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was the proposal on allocating market share in Haishi, which was tantamount to a blatant humiliation.

The position of Huaning Group is now precarious and it has almost become an object of sympathy from others.

Although he was filled with resentment, Du Yangqiu did not dare to show it at all.

After all, under the current circumstances, neither Hualong nor Xilin are targets that can be easily provoked.

"No problem. I had no intention of interfering in your fight."

This was his true thought, he just wanted to find a glimmer of hope in the cracks and seek a way out for himself.

However, he changed the subject and added: "But do you really think you can defeat Hualong so easily?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhen asked back.

"After fighting with Hualong, I want to give you a piece of advice: Hualong is far more complicated than you think. If you are eager to declare victory now, you may play into the opponent's hands." Du Yangqiu said worriedly.

He didn't want to see Xilin defeated due to underestimation of the enemy, nor did he want Hualong to be defeated.

Faced with such a blunt warning, Wang Zhen responded: "We in Xilin don't need outsiders to tell us how to act. As long as you fulfill your promise, we will also abide by the agreement, and that's enough."

Du Yangqiu sneered and told the truth without disguising: "Then do you know how much funds Hualong currently has? I can tell you clearly, 500 million."

what?

Wang Zhen's face froze instantly, as if he was struck by the sudden news. This was not something that could be joked about.

Xilin has spent all its money and raised a total of 400 million yuan for this business war.

Although Pang Yulin contacted a group of potential investors, the money had not yet arrived and therefore could not be calculated into their strength.

However, Hualong Group actually has a strong capital of 500 million? This is simply incredible.

If there really is such a huge sum of money, then why has Hualong stood idly by in the past half month, allowing its competitors to press on step by step without taking any action?

All this seemed extremely unreasonable, leaving Wang Zhen confused.

For a moment, countless questions came to mind, and it was obviously not a wise move to ask Du Yangqiu directly.

Not only does it make you appear to be narrow-minded, but you may not get a true answer.

"Since I have agreed to your request, even if it is just a verbal promise, I believe Xilin will not do anything treacherous." Du Yangqiu's words revealed a hint of impatience.

As a busy tone came from the other end of the phone, Wang Zhen frowned and hung up the call.

Seeing this, Pang Yulin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "It seems that the old gentleman doesn't buy it?"

"That's not the case..." Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Du Yangqiu revealed a piece of information: Hualong holds 500 million yuan in funds."

Hearing this number, the cigar in Pang Yulin's hand stopped in mid-air, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of confusion.

The office suddenly fell into silence. If Hualong really held such a huge amount of funds, then the subsequent competitive landscape would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Finally, Wang Zhen broke the silence: "I think we can't ignore this possibility. Perhaps we need to re-evaluate our strategy."

Pang Yulin took a deep puff of his cigarette, then shook his head: "Du Yangqiu is always scheming, this time he might have deliberately spread rumors to confuse people."

"There must be something hidden behind this." Pang Yulin muttered to himself, and gently put out the half-smoked cigar in his hand into the ashtray.

Then, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, frowning, "So what if they have 500 million?"

There was an unyielding tone in his voice. "Now we are taking the initiative to attack and plant flags in the enemy's territory, and they can only respond passively. It's calm here, but Hualong's territory will be shattered by this storm."

Pang Yulin continued, "If we use a war of attrition to wear down our opponent, even if he is financially strong, he will still be doomed. Moreover, even if Hualong has billions of dollars in wealth, I have a way to raise an equal amount of funds to fight him."

At this point, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Even if it is a real dragon, I will remove its scales and bones and use its essence to make the soup of victory. No need to adjust the strategy, just act according to the original plan.

Starting tomorrow, all new stores will open simultaneously, and personnel will be sent immediately to penetrate the market, with the goal of completely defeating Hualong within a month."

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, the four new stores on the west side opened their doors on time to welcome customers. There were no fancy ceremonies, only direct and shocking price cuts, which were reduced by 30%.

This move is undoubtedly good news for consumers who are planning to buy home appliances or are waiting and watching.

However, surprisingly, despite the crowds in the store, only a few people were actually willing to spend money.

Just after ten o'clock, Pang Yulin received news from the front line and asked, "What happened?"

Wang Zhen explained helplessly: "Everyone is waiting for Hualong to follow suit and lower the price."

In the past, just a small discount could stimulate consumers' desire to buy; but by then, customers had become accustomed to a more competitive environment.

They are not in a hurry to buy Xilin’s first price reduction and are waiting for bigger discounts.
