73 There are tigers in the mountains
After a long time, when Lin Qian recalls this bloody day, he will find that almost all people and things are developing according to Li Zhicheng's expectations.
For example, the first step for DG to enter China is to promote second- and third-tier brands, which is in their hands.
For example, when Li Zhicheng implemented the tactic of "fishing in troubled waters", DG unexpectedly pushed Zamon to the forefront;
Now, for example, the market is beginning to be in a quiet stalemate.
Zamon is like a beautiful crystal ball that is hung at the top of the market. Behind this, DG has unconsciously used all their strength: capital, manpower, brand influence, all the channels and resources of Simage...... And, they also bundle the top brands with the average ones.
At this time, if anyone pushes behind them, Zamon, as well as the entire DG China, will fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces.
Lin Qian originally thought that it was time to make a move.
Unexpectedly, at this time, something happened to him.
Old Aida was successfully controlled by DG.
And the follow-up changes are more than that.
ββ
Before dawn, Lin Qian was lying in the quilt of the company's dormitory, calling Li Zhicheng on the other side of the ocean.
"Uncle is fine." She said softly, "I was shocked to see the news. β
Li Zhicheng walked in the waiting hall of Seattle-Tacoma Airport, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and walking in a hurry. Outside the window, the night was hazy and the lights were dim. He watched the plane enter the tarmac and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry. I spoke to him on the phone at noon and it was fine. β
"Hmm. Shall I fly to see him today? β
Li Zhicheng was silent for a few seconds, and then made a decision: "No need. During this time, you still stayed in Changsha. β
Lin Qian's heart was a little unhappy, but he still agreed.
It's not because she's not happy. She knew exactly what he meant - now that the old Aida was in the hands of the DG, it shocked the Chinese business community and the media and public opinion. Although the old Aida now accounts for a small proportion of the business of Aida Group, for the Li father and son, after all, there is a meaning of "family business". It is also a symbol of "AIDA" in the hearts of all AIDA employees, especially a large number of old employees.
As the leader of the Chinese-funded enterprises to resist this acquisition war, Aida Group has now lost its "family business". How can the outside world not have different opinions? Some say that under the strong pressure of Zamon, the leadership of AIDA Group has been shaken, and has reached a secret acquisition agreement with DG, which is about to sell itself as a whole; It is also said that Aida has split into two factions, and the people's hearts are turbulent and have been chaotic...... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people are adding fuel to the fire and adding fuel to the fire in the public opinion circles.
Li Zhicheng didn't let her go back to Lin City, because he wanted her to stay away from this land of right and wrong.
And Lin Qian, not only was he unhappy that Aida was secretly stabbed this time, but also because he was powerless.
"Who sold the shares, have you found out?" She asked.
"Clear." Li Zhicheng raised his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window, and his face became indifferent, "In addition to Gu Yanzhi, there are also Xu Chengyan and my sister-in-law." β
ββ
On the same day, Mr. Gu Yanzhi, vice president of AIDA Group and recognized as the right arm of Li Zhicheng by the outside world, was wearing a casual shirt, trousers and sunglasses, accompanied by personnel from MK Investment Company and DG Group, to visit Zamon's flagship store in New York.
Before coming to the United States, he asked for a month's long leave from AIDA's human resources department, and at the same time, he left his personal resignation.
And at this moment, surrounded by everyone, he looks particularly high-spirited, relaxed and leisurely.
"Mr. Gu." A DG Group manager smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied with this trip to the United States?" β
Gu Yanzhi took off his sunglasses and looked at him with a smile: "Satisfied, very satisfied." Thank you for your hospitality, and I think I've achieved my dreams in life, made enough money, and started traveling the world β starting with the United States. β
Everyone laughed. There is also a manager next to him who is Chinese, and he also flew from China together this time. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Gu is willing to sell Aida's shares, and he also left Aida." Those of us who are actually surprised and want to know why. β
The meaning of this is a bit unclear.
Because the acquisition was discussed between the investment company and Gu Yanzhi, the senior management of DG only looked at the final acquisition results. And like this manager, who was a competitor with Gu Yanzhi in the past, he was a little suspicious in his heart. But the share sale is real, and DG is indeed a holding company for Lao Aida. So their hearts were full of doubts.
For these doubts, Gu Yanzhi just smiled slightly. I saw that several people, including the person just now, were looking at him. He only replied lightly: "For personal reasons, I will not advise." β
However, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. Why did Gu Yanzhi run away from Aida? Of course, the people at MK Investment will explain the reason to DG. And a few days later, word spread within the DG, and slowly the whole industry also knew.
"Unloading the mill and killing the donkey" is the eternal hobby and means of China's superiors.
Gu Yanzhi may have been an important shareholder of Aida and was worth a lot of money. But since Li Zhicheng took over, brands such as Vinda and AITO have been launched one after another. Li Zhicheng carried out a series of restructuring and stripping of the group's assets, and the shares in Gu Yanzhi's hands were greatly diluted. And because of the rise of newcomers such as Xue Mingtao and Lin Qian, his original pivotal position has also been threatened.
This caused him great displeasure. Before DG's heavy acquisition, he was tempted.
And people in the industry have mixed opinions about this matter.
Some people think that Gu Yanzhi's move is somewhat unrighteous, and he stabbed the old master in the back; Some people also think that Gu Yanzhi is already talented and will do well in starting his own business. Everyone has their own aspirations, but they have chosen another path.
But everyone reached a consensus, and what they all saw was that Gu Yanzhi had indeed broken up with Aida and left, and it had nothing to do with it. For several months in a row, no one knew where he had gone or what he was doing, as if he had fallen silent.
ββ
Let's go back to Lin Qian's side.
Early the next morning when she talked to Li Zhicheng on the phone, she unexpectedly received a call from Xu Yong's assistant.
"Mr. Lin." The assistant's tone was very polite, "The chairman just had instructions to let you come to Lin City today." He wants to see you. β
Lin Qian was very strange: "Is there something wrong?" β
The assistant paused.
Although he is the assistant to the chairman, who doesn't know about Aida now, President Li is already in power. And he is the person around the leader, so he naturally knows that the president attaches great importance to this fiancΓ©e.
So he replied more vaguely: "Early this morning, an old shareholder came to visit the chairman and mentioned some recent things outside, and also mentioned you. After that, the chairman was not in a good mood. β
Lin Qian chuckled in his heart.
ββ
Regarding the question of whether to go back to Lin City to see Xu Yong, Lin Qian thought that he would definitely go.
If she doesn't go, it really looks like she has a ghost in her heart.
Xu Yong is not an unreasonable person, and when he asked her to go over, he must have wanted to ask her face to face. It is better that in the future, there will not be a gap in each other's hearts because of this incident.
But she couldn't go so rashly.
After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed, holding her chin with one hand and pondering.
Why wasn't it sooner or later, but when Lao Aida's equity was acquired and Xu Yong was hospitalized with anger, her relationship with Lin Mochen was stabbed to Xu Yong?
Maybe it's a coincidence.
But maybe someone did it on purpose.
Who is it?
DG people? Chen Zheng? Or is it someone in the industry or even Idanet who wants to sell himself to DG?
At present, everyone has different choices, and it is not surprising that such people exist.
But certainly not from MK Investments. Because Lin Mochen is here.
Whoever it is, and what is the purpose of this trick?
Let Xu Yong feel estranged from her? No, it's not enough to deal a blow to Ida.
Lin Qian's heart sank - since the other party can stab Xu Yong in this matter, I am afraid that it will also be stabbed to the public soon.
She and Li Zhicheng did guard against this matter before, but they weren't too grassy. Because Aida is as stable as Mount Tai, she and Lin Mochen avoid each other, even if they are poked out, they can't stir up any waves. So she wasn't afraid at all.
But now, things are changing. Lao Aida was unexpectedly acquired, the media public opinion was very sensitive and nervous, and Ida's hearts were also a little turbulent. If someone makes a fuss about the relationship between her and Lin Mochen, I am afraid that they will not be able to argue.
Depend on!
Lin Qian pounded the bed with his hand hatefully.
Li Zhicheng is right, she had better not return to Lin City now.
She took out her mobile phone and called Li Zhicheng.
"I'm sorry, the phone you made is off."
He was still on the plane back home.
At this moment, Xu Yong's assistant's phone called again: "Mr. Lin, the chairman asked again just now." The old man couldn't pretend to be in his heart, and the doctor said that his mood could no longer fluctuate. You'd better come over today for his health's sake. β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qian carefully analyzed.
In fact, no matter whether she stays in Changsha or Linshi, the other party is deliberately embarrassed, and she can always be found.
And what are the risks of her going to Lin City?
The first thing that comes to mind is that Xu Yong's body is still unstable, and if she is emotional when communicating with her, something goes wrong, this is not her responsibility. So she'd better book a later ticket, and when Li Zhicheng arrives in Lin City this afternoon, let's go over together, and it's always safer to have him here.
Secondly, the other party is likely to poke at the media or spread rumors within Ida. If it was Chen Zheng, with his usual methods, he would probably shamelessly incite trouble. So she had to be especially careful about her whereabouts to avoid accidents.
Again, no matter what the other party's idea is, this matter is just a crime after all. With Lin Mochen and Li Zhicheng here, with their abilities, they will definitely clear their responsibilities and handle public opinion for her as quickly as possible. So she doesn't have to worry too much.
After comforting herself like this, she picked up the phone and asked her secretary to book a plane ticket. Call Gao Lang again and ask him to secretly bring a few security guards to pick her up at the airport. After such careful arrangement, she finally sighed.
Although there is nothing to be afraid of, in the end, I still know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains.
ββ
When Li Zhicheng arrived at Linshi Airport, it was already sunset.
The car was driving on the road, and when he turned on his mobile phone, he saw Lin Qian's three missed calls and a text message.
"Your father asked me to come to Lin City to see him today, and I came."
Li Zhicheng immediately dialed her mobile phone, but it was turned off - on the way.
Li Zhicheng pondered for a moment and told Jiang Yuan: "You stay to pick up Lin Qian, and I'll go to the hospital first." β
ββ
Why did Li Zhicheng go to the hospital first?
One is that he is really worried about his father's health; The second is to solve this problem with his father before Lin Qian arrives.
He didn't need Lin Qian to face his father's doubts and declare his innocence.
By the time I arrived at the hospital's intensive care unit, it was already dark. Li Zhicheng pushed the door and went in, and saw his father lying on the hospital bed, looking much thinner than when he went abroad a few days ago. The face is not very good-looking. The eyes that are usually deep and clear also look a little ...... at the moment Turbidity.
This made Li Zhicheng frown slightly and sit down on the edge of his bed.
"Didn't you tell me that things were stable?" He asked in a low voice as he shook his father's hand.
"Angry." Xu Yong replied in a hoarse voice, "Your sister-in-law is a woman, and I can understand that she wants to sell her shares." But how could he? β
Xu Chengyan is Xu Yong's other son, the illegitimate son after the divorce.
"It doesn't affect the big picture." Li Zhicheng said slowly, "You don't need to be angry at all. β
But Xu Yong disagrees with this. In the end, he is sick like a mountain, and he is also old. When a person is old, no matter how open-minded a person is, he will also have his own paranoia.
"Old Ida, now you all call it Old Ida." "But that's my heart's work," he said slowly. I'll come over step by step......" He raised his gloomy eyes to look at his son, "Will you bring it back for me?" β
"Yes."
Xu Yong nodded.
After a while, he asked again: "Lin Qian's brother, is the person who led this foreign acquisition?" β
Li Zhicheng's expression did not change at all: "Yes." But he is also doing it according to the company's arrangement. And he avoided Ida, and during this time, Lin Qian also went to Mingde. There is no impact. β
In three or two sentences, the original situation will be explained clearly.
Xu Yong looked at him fixedly.
"You haven't told me because you know that I'm still unhappy?" He asked, "No matter what, Lin Qian is my prospective daughter-in-law." Her brother is embezzling the entire Chinese luggage industry? Are you sure he's not using you for his purposes? β
Li Zhicheng raised his eyes and looked at him: "He can't swallow it, and he can't use me." β
Both father and son were silent for a while, and Xu Yong asked again: "Do you have to marry Lin Qian?" Is the trade-off really clear? From my point of view, I don't think it's appropriate for you to marry her. β
"You don't need to weigh it, you must marry her."
Xu Yong didn't speak again.
The father and son were silent for a while, and Xu Yong said again: "If this matter can be stabbed to me, it can be stabbed out." Protect her during this time, and it's best to fade out of sight. Wait until it's over to get married. This kind of thing should not be left to women to face the cusp. β
Li Zhicheng: "Understood. β
He looked at his watch and got up to leave. When I walked to the door, I turned around and said, "Dad, you're too worried." Only the strong have the right to speak in everything. I hit DG out of the Chinese market, who would dare to say half a word? β
In the end, these words still revealed a bit of young man's spirit and ruthlessness, Xu Yong smiled slightly and nodded.
Li Zhicheng pushed the door and walked out.
The hallway is quiet and softly lit. As soon as he looked up, he saw Lin Qian sitting on the bench at the door.
Li Zhicheng's eyes changed slightly.
Lin Qian also stood up and looked at him with a complicated expression.
