840: Chapter 840: Unite Vertically and Connect Horizontally!

Deliciously Slapping Face!

In a critical moment, how to break the deadlock?

Wu Jie quickly came up with his answer.

Combine forces, seek alliances, and divide the opposition!

If global business competition is regarded as a ruthless war without the smoke of gunfire,

then the crisis faced by the group was one concerning life and death.

It was like Tanglong Industrial Group of Liuli Continent, truly a case of “the nail that sticks out gets hammered down”!

Pressured and bullied by overseas competitors, envied and hated by people from other countries…

This simply proved that with strong enough power and proper tactics, one could have the last laugh.

The root cause of the crisis seemed to be the outrageous profits from the Detox Pill, sparking envy and dissatisfaction overseas.

But why did it escalate so quickly?

Ordinary folks couldn’t possibly have such capacity; at most, they could vent and complain.

The true masterminds were the business rivals of the group.

The group was so powerful, it scared them.

After gaining fame from the Zhuzhou SAM project, the group hoarded a large number of projects, plunging rivals into a business crisis.

After all, there’s only so much market share to go around; if some earn more, others earn less.

Blocking someone’s means of livelihood was akin to killing their parents.

They couldn’t compete in technology.

They couldn’t beat the products.

Thus, the only option left was political maneuvers.

So…

Shoot the leading bird!

Tanglong Industrial Group was indefinitely shut down and put under investigation under dubious reasons like information security and quality defects.

Drag it out for ten days, a fortnight, maybe even longer…

The group’s economic losses would be truly immeasurable.

Worry and anger were useless; after all, no matter how powerful the group was, it lacked the ability to forcibly lift the bans.

They were clearly resorting to hooliganism, acting shamelessly.

And their ultimate goal…

Was, of course, to support their own or more favorable enterprises, preventing Tanglong Industrial Group from making insane profits.

In such a situation, Wu Jie played three major tactics.

The first move: official support.

The group had contributed so much to the country and its people, paid so much in taxes annually, created a myriad of jobs, and promoted economic growth.

It had even exchanged Detox Pills to reclaim a large number of lost cultural artifacts, achieving significant strategic goals for the country…

With such illustrious achievements, if not material rewards, at least the group should be assured of normal operations, right?

Tan had already said over the phone that he had lodged a stern protest, demanding fair treatment…

And during the press conference in the next hour, there would be a tough stance.

…

The second move: internal unity.

It was completely normal for people to be panicked in the face of such an unprecedented and severe crisis.

Before a major battle, the last thing you want is instability and unease among your own ranks.

Wu Jie, who had once been a white-collar worker himself, knew what employees in the workplace desired the most: stability and compensation.

Therefore, Wu Jie proposed at the meeting not to lay off staff, not to cut wages, and to distribute benefits, among three major points.

Especially the free distribution of Detox Pills to employees—a significant benefit like this was sure to win hearts.

The Detox Pill had by now attained a legendary status; many regarded it as a miracle cure.

Curing all diseases, detoxifying and beautifying, ultimate joy…

The continuously exorbitant price of the Detox Pill drove billions around the world wild.

Therefore, no matter how terrifying or tragic the crisis was, the employees would stay with the group for the sake of the Detox Pill, even if they had to forgo their salaries and bonuses, they certainly would not bear to resign and leave.

After all, the Detox Pill was a global exclusive supply; where else could they find such benefits if they left the group?

They could sell just three on the international black market for at least a million.

Who the hell would hate money so much?

…

The third move: Seek alliances and cause divisions.

More than a hundred countries in the world don’t share the same nationality, religion, or ideology.

If everything were the same, why would there be different countries?

Why the various conflicts and struggles?

Why develop armed forces?

Why…

In short, among nations, there are only eternal interests—where could you find eternal friends?

In fact, the group operated in nearly a hundred countries, but the ones ordering the group to halt operations and submit to investigations were only a dozen or so.

What did this imply?

It implied that there were still plenty of countries where the group’s overseas business operations were untapped markets ripe for exploration.

It also meant that in countries that hadn’t yet issued orders, business for the group could be protected through various means.

Thus, the group’s overseas operations were not completely doomed, as rumors suggested.

Besides, were all the countries that issued orders extremely inflexible and non-negotiable?

Of course not.

Some were firm in their orders because there was profit to be made.

Barring Tanglong Industrial Group from doing business allowed them to boost their own local companies in its place.

But some had weak industrial foundations and were even worse in the field of information technology.

With no replacements for the group, why issue such bans?

Besides satisfying the public’s outcry, they wanted to cater to some people’s demands, of course.

When the top dog speaks, can the underlings fail to express their stance?

Unite whoever possible and minimize the losses.

Identify the tough and fierce ones, then think of other ways to deal with them.

Divide and conquer…

The goal was first to “win over” and strengthen one’s own team.

Then to “divide” and dissolve the enemy’s camp.

Fighting alone, showing weakness and fear of the enemy, would only make others more arrogant and domineering.

And the perfect weapon for winning over and dividing was, of course, the Detox Pill.

At the noon auction, Wu Jie slashed the supply of Detox Pills to a mere 50,000 pills.

While the midnight auction released as many as 240,000 pills.

Reducing the supply seemed like making less money.

But the surplus inventory could be used to “win over and divide.”

There were plenty of international pharmaceutical companies wanting Detox Pills, and the public was crazier than ever; Wu Jie wasn’t worried about a lack of interest.

And just like that.

The global demand was enormous, yet Wu Jie had reduced the supply.

Wouldn’t the price of Detox Pills skyrocket?

Those craving a price drop to rock-bottom levels would surely go mad with frustration, while Wu Jie made a profit in energy points.

Why not enjoy the best of both worlds?

After all, what he wanted to earn wasn’t money, but energy points!

…

The meeting had not yet concluded.

Wu Jie had everyone in the conference room watch the live broadcast of the noon auction.

The outcome was as Wu Jie had anticipated…

Everything in the world adheres to the “true fragrance principle.”

In this era where people constantly face-plant after their firm stances and swearing oaths of refusal, followed by tasting the sweetness and happily reaping praises, creating a phenomenon of self-contradiction.

And the true fragrance principle was vividly demonstrated at the noon auction.

Those who had issued tough bans, severely affecting the group’s overseas business, were now the most enthusiastic during the auction.

Enjoying the various benefits of the Detox Pill while suppressing the group’s other businesses.

Such spectacular self-contradiction should not be underestimated.

Wu Jie only released 50,000 Detox Pills; this was undoubtedly a strong signal in response to the multi-national sanctions against the group.

Many foreign “experts” even concluded that Wu Jie would use the Detox Pills to indirectly force them to compromise.

Thus, rumors that the Detox Pills were about to be discontinued spread rapidly.

A sudden drop in the number of Detox Pills at the noon auction was the clearest signal.

As a result.

The auction became exceptionally fierce.

The final price made many unable to smile.

They had set a surprising record by doubling the price to 400,000 per pill in the first secret auction, but now that record was broken.

Many participating pharmaceutical companies, believing Wu Jie would discontinue the Detox Pills as retaliation against the countries issuing the bans, became even more frantic in their bidding.

In the end, a consortium of pharmaceutical companies from several developed countries won the bid.

The price reached an astonishing 500,000 per pill, shocking the world.

Are they crazy?

Selling at such an expensive price, was the Detox Pill really about to be discontinued?

Within seconds!

Just after the auction results were released, the price of Detox Pills on the international black market jumped from 100,000 Gold Coins to 150,000.

Making some buyers who had just made a purchase laugh in delight, and other sellers beat their chests in regret.

So…

Would the Detox Pills be discontinued or not?

How would the overseas business crisis faced by the Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group resolve?

The group meeting was still ongoing.

But over at Liuli City, the daily press conference had begun.

First, they announced the good news of the official end of the epidemic and the recovery and discharge of infected patients.

Then they highlighted the unfair treatment encountered by the legally-operated Tanglong Industrial Group.

With a resolute attitude, a firm stance!

Many foreign citizens felt the wrath coming from the Eastern Dragon!

Combined with the sudden decrease in the number of Detox Pills at noon…

The possibility of the Detox Pills being discontinued was once again magnified.

The price of Detox Pills on the international black market began to rise toward 200,000 Gold Coins per pill.

Affected by the press conference.

After the stock market opened in the afternoon, a large number of official securities organizations began frenzied buying, aggressively sweeping up stocks.

Using tens of billions in funds to boldly support the plummeting stocks, they even rebounded.

This was a strong confidence boost for shareholders and investors.

Not allowing the network information industry to encounter a winter of discontent and fall into decline.

And unexpectedly…

The Liulizhou Tanglong Industrial Group soon posted a public announcement.

Stating that the group would, as always, operate legally and comply with the decisions of each country, and do its utmost to cooperate with investigations.

Moreover, they wouldn’t cut staff or salaries but would use the Detox Pills as a benefit for the group’s employees…

Three pills per person per month, such a lavish and generous gesture!

With each pill reaching a closing price of 500,000 at the auction; wasn’t Wu Jie effectively giving a million in benefits to the group’s employees?

Intentionally decreasing the export volume to reward his own employees with the withheld Detox Pills!

Such strong face-slapping truly made billions of foreigners feel frustrated to the point of spitting blood and envious to the point of madness.

And even more face-slapping events were soon to occur…
