Chapter 237 Breaking the Blockade: The Rise of the Xiao Family
"Xiao Yue, you've gone too far..." On the other end of the line, Li Jue's voice was as piercing as ice. "Do you think you can shake my position by using some clever tricks? You're overestimating yourself!"
Xiao Yue gripped the phone tightly, suppressing the anger in her heart. Her tone was calm but firm: "Mr. Li, the business world is like a battlefield. It all depends on your ability. I didn't break any rules."
"Rules?" Giant Li sneered, "In this industry, I am the rules!" He then hung up the phone.
Almost at the same time, bad news came from various departments of the Xiao family.
The raw material supplier suddenly terminated the cooperation, the logistics company refused to transport Xiao's goods, and even the bank began to urge the repayment of the loan.
Giant Li's comprehensive blockade came quickly and cruelly, like a huge iron clamp, tightly strangling Xiao's throat.
The atmosphere in Xiao Yue's office was so solemn that it was almost suffocating.
Employee Zhou's face was pale and his voice was trembling: "Mr. Xiao, what should we do? We...we seem to be completely blocked..." He sat dejectedly in the chair, his eyes full of despair.
Consultant Chen frowned and kept making phone calls, trying to contact other partners, but to no avail.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath, his eyes firm and sharp.
She glanced at everyone and said in a calm tone: "Don't panic, we will definitely find a solution!" She quickly arranged for Consultant Chen to continue looking for new partners, and at the same time contacted the legal team to prepare for possible legal disputes.
She decided to go to Li Jue's company in person to negotiate with him face to face.
Li Jue's office is luxurious and cold.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights are bright, but they cannot illuminate the gloom in the room.
"Xiao Yue, you are finally here." Li Jue sat on the leather sofa, shaking the red wine glass in his hand, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
"Mr. Li, aren't you going too far?" Xiao Yue tried to control her emotions. "It's just normal business competition between us. Why are you trying to kill me?"
"Kill them all?" Giant Li laughed. "You've taken my market and broken my rules. Isn't that enough? Now, I'll give you a chance. As long as you agree to my terms, I can consider letting you go."
The conditions proposed by Giant Li were extremely harsh, almost equivalent to handing over the Xiao family to him.
Xiao Yue refused without hesitation.
"Mr. Li, I won't agree to your conditions." Xiao Yue's eyes flashed with an unyielding light. "Even if Xiao Group goes bankrupt, I won't give in to you!"
Li Jue's face suddenly changed, and he threw the red wine glass in his hand to the ground, sending glass fragments flying everywhere.
He pointed at Xiao Yue and said word by word: "Okay, very good! You...you wait for me!" He picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Start Plan B..." Li Jue's "Plan B" was quickly implemented, and overwhelming negative news swept in, portraying Xiao as a company with a bad record.
On the Internet, water armies set the tone, spread rumors, and attacked Xiao's product quality and corporate reputation.
Xiao's stock price plummeted, partners withdrew their investments one after another, and the company fell into an unprecedented crisis.
Xiao Yue was not defeated by this sudden blow.
She calmly analyzed the situation, quickly organized a public relations team, responded positively to the doubts, and clarified the facts.
At the same time, she launched a new cooperation model: establishing direct cooperation with small suppliers, bypassing the middlemen controlled by giant Li.
This road is extremely difficult. Small suppliers have limited production capacity, uneven quality, and logistics and transportation also face many challenges.
Xiao Yue led the team to work day and night, personally visiting suppliers, supervising production processes, and coordinating logistics and transportation.
Employee Zhou was initially skeptical of this new model. He timidly asked Xiao Yue, "Boss Xiao, is this really going to work? Are these small suppliers…reliable?"
Xiao Yue said firmly: "How can we know if we don't try? We have no way out now!"
Under the leadership of Xiao Yue, Xiao's employees showed amazing cohesion. They worked overtime, overcame numerous difficulties, and finally built a new supply chain.
Raw materials were continuously delivered to the factory, the production line started running again, and Xiao's business gradually recovered.
Just at this time, the annual industry summit was held.
Giant Li attended the summit in high spirits, ready to announce his final victory over the Xiao family.
However, he never expected that Xiao Yue would also appear at the summit.
Xiao Yue delivered a wonderful speech at the summit.
She did not avoid the difficulties faced by the Xiao family, but frankly described how the Xiao family coped with suppression, how it innovated and changed, and how it broke through the blockade.
She also showcased Shaw's latest products and technologies, whose innovation and foresight amazed everyone present.
Analyst Wu exclaimed in the audience: "I didn't expect the Xiao family to be able to fight back. It's incredible!"
Zhao Tongxing also said to the people around him: "It seems that we have all underestimated Xiao Yue's ability. She is indeed a powerful character."
After the speech, many corporate representatives expressed their intention to cooperate with Xiao Yue.
Xiao's industry status has not only not declined, but has increased significantly.
Giant Li sat in the audience with a dark face. He could never have imagined that his carefully planned "Plan B" would fail in this way.
After the summit, Xiao Yue walked out of the venue and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded behind her...
"Xiao Yue." Shen Ting stood outside the venue. The crowd was bustling, but it could not conceal the powerful aura emanating from him.
He watched Xiao Yue walk out of the venue calmly and confidently, his eyes full of love and pride.
Xiao Yue felt that familiar gaze and turned her head to look. Their eyes met in the air. The corners of her lips rose slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Zhao Tongxing walked quickly to Xiao Yue with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xiao, your speech was really wonderful. On behalf of the company, I would like to express my most sincere intention of cooperation with you." Zhao Tongxing, who had been cautious and wait-and-seeing before, made a 180-degree turn in his attitude at this moment.
Xiao Yue shook hands with him gracefully, her tone calm but with a hint of unquestionable determination: "Mr. Zhao, the premise of cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Xiao's Enterprise broke the situation of isolation and helplessness, orders came in like snowflakes, and the whole company was immersed in the joy of victory.
Employee Zhou was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He held Xiao Yue's hand tightly and said with a sob, "Boss Xiao, we...we did it! You're amazing!" Xiao Yue patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "This is the result of our joint efforts."
However, the business world is like a battlefield, changing rapidly.
The rise of the Xiao family will inevitably affect the interests of others.
Just as Xiao Yue and Shen Ting were celebrating their victory at a dinner, a strange number called Xiao Yue's cell phone.
"Boss Xiao, congratulations on winning this war." A cold voice said on the other end of the line, "But this is just the beginning. The best part is yet to come."
Xiao Yue gripped her phone tightly, her brows furrowed slightly. She had a premonition that a new challenge was about to come.
Shen Ting noticed Xiao Yue's strangeness and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yue put down her phone, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "It's okay, just a harassing call." But the uneasiness deep in her eyes could not escape Shen Ting's sharp gaze.
"Don't worry," Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand, his tone firm but gentle, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly flickered and then went out completely.
The entire hall fell into darkness.
Amidst the chaos, a deep voice rang out beside Xiao Yue's ears: "Xiao Yue, do you think you really won?"
