Chapter 2983 - 2063: Looming Corporate Crisis

Chapter 2983: Chapter 2063: Looming Corporate Crisis

Zhenbei Group has grown to become one of the few entities standing at the pinnacle of the world business sphere today, a miraculous feat in anyone’s eyes.

After all, compared to those consortia measured by centuries, it is remarkably young.

However, this youth imbues it with boundless legendary allure.

Whether riding the wave of the global economy or gathering the most brilliant minds in this world, its every step leaves spectators in awe, drawing praise at every turn.

The founder from the mysterious East is frequently extolled and widely celebrated.

Yet behind the boundless glory often lies arduous and bloodstained struggles.

Upon reaching the summit of the global business sphere, Zhenbei Group inevitably faced unified suppression from business oligarchs.

If not for a serendipitous clash between two century-old giants that caused seismic shifts in the global business landscape, and Zhenbei Group’s opportunistic rise amidst it, its current stature might have been uncertain.

Today, decades later, Zhenbei Group stands ranked as the world’s third-largest consortium.

This ranking is significant, for some similar juggernauts prefer to remain hidden, like dragons submerged in the depths, unseen yet silently influencing the commerce world.

Outwardly, Zhenbei Group undeniably stands as a pillar of the global business sphere.

Those two formerly clashing titans now occupy the second and fourth rankings, sandwiching Zhenbei Group in the middle.

Decades later, those titans are embroiled in another conflict.

Yet, for Zhenbei Group, this is not good news!

These uncommon reports were shared with Bai Xiaosheng by Li Yunyuan, serving as the reason behind Bai Xuanyu’s hurried return and immediate convening of a high-level meeting at headquarters.

Li Yunyuan, revered for his wise presence, had advance notice from Bai Xuanyu’s secretary.

Having been a pillar of Zhenbei Group since its inception, Li Yunyuan naturally knows much of its history.

"The two world-class family titans, one is the Franklin Family, with business primarily in Eastern Europe, the Americas, and Africa; the other is the Milutelos Family, mainly in Europe and North Asia. In recent years, they have focused on Asia but triggered widespread business competition in Europe. Like two gigantic dragons, even a slight movement causes landslides; moreover, they have held grudges for a century."

As Bai Xiaosheng and Li Yunyuan proceeded to the meeting room, Li Yunyuan revealed more insights to Bai Xiaosheng.

"City fire causing collateral damage, our group has heavily invested in Europe over these years, requiring precautionary measures to avoid being swept into the turmoil and suffering heavy damage," Li Yunyuan spoke gravely.

"I suspect Chairman Xuanyu has received significant information, and her return intends to prepare strategically!"

Bai Xiaosheng nodded continually, pondering in his mind, "Red Lotus, retrieve all data on the Franklin Family and Milutelos Family for me."

"Understood."

Upon Red Lotus’s response, vast amounts of data overwhelmed Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, vast as the ocean, leaving Bai Xiaosheng in awe.

The sheer volume of world-class consortium data is indeed staggering!

Yet Bai Xiaosheng realized that what is accessible online is only the tip of the iceberg.

Considering, even if one endeavors to search all information about Zhenbei Group, they might only find a mere fraction.

"After this meeting, you could spend more time understanding those two families."

Li Yunyuan earnestly advised Bai Xiaosheng, unaware that Bai Xiaosheng had already done extensive research, even surpassing what he knew.

Even the partial data found was exceptionally detailed and crucial, unknown to all.

"I will, Mr. Li."

Bai Xiaosheng sincerely nodded, "Actually, I’ve heard a bit about those families and know a bit."

Li Yunyuan nodded slightly, not overemphasizing Bai Xiaosheng’s mention of "understanding."

As they spoke, they arrived at the meeting room entrance, encountering two individuals engaged in a close discussion.

Bai Xiaosheng saw them and a subtle spark flashed within his gaze.

Li Yunyuan, slightly furrowing his brows, soon smoothed them without a trace.

Among the newcomers is Wen Yan, and the other, a newly appointed associate chairman from the board, Mr. Role.

These two have frequently appeared together in the public eye, enlightening many perceptive individuals.

No one stated intentions to isolate Mr. Role from the board, but Wen Yan’s actions undoubtedly help him quickly integrate into the management system...

"Mr. Li."

Wen Yan spotted Li Yunyuan, greeting him with a smile, then turned to Bai Xiaosheng with equal warmth, "...Mr. Bai."

The phrase "Mr. Bai" carried a hint of unfamiliarity.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed inwardly, smiling along with Wen Yan after Li Yunyuan spoke, "Mr. Wen Yan."

Mr. Role also cheerfully greeted Li Yunyuan and Bai Xiaosheng.

After their brief exchange at the door, they entered the meeting room.

Today’s meeting is a high-importance "fifteen-person meeting," including seven associate chairmen, six business presidents, along with Bai Xuanyu and Wen Yan.
