Chapter 1599: Nominate Wen Xinya as the President of the Association
In NBJ’s director’s office.
As Luo Desen leaned against the sofa, the fragrance of the tea before him made him recall the first time he met the mastermind behind Lanxin Company three months ago.
Then, that almost twenty-three-years-old lady was calm and steady before the man who was old enough to be her grandfather. Although she had suppressed the sharpness within her elegant eyes, it was uncontrollably shocking.
Now, NBJ could also get out of trouble all because of her.
He had only seen such an intelligent and classy woman with great foresight, outstanding ambitions, and an eye for the big picture once in his life—Wen Xinya!
“Father, everyone has already knocked off. Aren’t you leaving yet?” said Luo Desen’s eldest son, Luo Weite, who currently held the position of CEO at NBJ and was Luo Desen’s most trusted aide.
Over the past year, NBJ had been batting T-K Corporation and had stood its ground despite huge losses. Even when NBJ was being acquired by Genesis Investment Company, T-K Corporation had entered NBJ as a shareholder, and the entire NBJ was facing the crisis of a possible disintegration, they were still determined to resist foreign investors.
Now, Lanxin Company had dealt a huge blow to the T-K Corporation and its acquisition plan towards NBJ couldn’t proceed as planned, allowing NBJ to grab this opportunity to kick T-K Corporation from NBJ’s shareholders.
They had even kicked the T-K Corporation while it was down by retaliating ruthlessly, pushing them to their limits while the masses’ agitated emotions against foreign acquisitions were at their peak.
They had won this battle.
Luo Desen sighed slightly and said, “Weite, I plan to write a letter of recommendation to the local health supplements industry association to nominate the mastermind behind Lanxin Company, Bella, as the president of the local health supplements industry association and let her lead the entire local health supplements market.”
Although he had already resigned from the position of the president of the local health supplements industry association, he had been the president for many years after all, and still had a good reputation and power in the health supplements field.
Luo Weite frowned slightly and said, “Father, although you’re doing so for the entire Chinese health supplements industry, such an act will cause NBJ’s benefits to take a huge hit. I don’t agree with it.”
After this acquisition crisis, NBJ was already in a precarious situation. If Lanxin Company were to become the leader of the health supplements industry now, NBJ’s years of management would go down the drain as their reputation and popularity decreased.
Luo Desen understood his reservations as he had also taken a long time to consider this. “Weite, it’s the logic of interrelated dependencies! Right now, NBJ already can’t hold its ground independently and has no more capacity to go against T-K Corporation. We’ll still have to rely on Lanxin Company to suppress T-K Corporation eventually.”
Over the past three months, he had finally understood it.
NBJ was torn and tattered after going through this battle.
However, Lanxin Company was fighting a war with preparations.
From a year ago, when Lanxin Company went through a major overhaul, they were already well-prepared to receive this war.
The outcome of this war still depended on the Lanxin Company. If they were to win, they would be able to chase the T-K Corporation out of China. Otherwise, NBJ and Lanxin Company would eventually cease to exist.
At this point, NBJ could already do nothing much to help. However, they couldn’t just wait for imminent death either—he’d do whatever he could to the best of his ability.
Luo Weite was obviously struggling. “Father, you’re right. However, if we were to hand our years of management to others, what will happen to NBJ?”
He knew that given the current circumstances, having the mastermind behind the Lanxin Company to assume the position of the president of the health supplements industry association was the most beneficial!
However, it was human nature to be selfish. The position of the president of the health supplements industry association had been held by NBJ for many years. Although Father was no longer the president, his reputation was still there and currently, within the health supplements industry, Father still held the most power. Before any changes to the presidency of the association, Father’s reputation would still be intact.
Things would be completely different if the presidency changed.
Regarding this point, Luo Desen had more foresight than his son. “I’m no longer the president of the health supplements industry association. Although I still have some reputation in the industry, at a key moment like this, I won’t be able to hold everything together. In comparison to having this reputation diminish over time, it’d be wiser for me to write a letter of recommendation to nominate Bella as the president of the health supplements industry association.
“Firstly, China’s health supplements industry won’t be in a disintegrated state and Lanxin Company can more effectively combat the T-K Corporation.
“Secondly, Lanxin Company has already become to main force in the resistance against the T-K Corporation and it’s only natural for them to obtain the presidency.
“Thirdly, Lanxin Company will owe me this huge favor and will show us more respect in the future no matter what.
“Fourthly, this is a noble act on my part. In the future, when the T-K Corporation is successfully driven out of China’s health supplements market, nobody will forget to give me due credit.”
Luo Weite was stunned. He didn’t expect that such a simple action by his father actually had so many meanings behind it and couldn’t help but feel guilty and inferior. “Father, you still have better judgment. I’ll follow your instructions!”
Father was right.
NBJ was failing—how much reputation could it still have in the health supplements industry? How much longer could they still defend their power?
Luo Desen sighed slightly and said, “Weite, it’s always better to look further ahead. This time, NBJ can thoroughly get out of the acquisition by T-K Corporation all because of Lanxin Company’s tactics.”
Although everyone understood that Lanxin Company’s act was convenient and could have their own interests, it was an undeniable fact that NBJ had stood to gain.
Luo Weite nodded his head in acknowledgment, hesitated for a while, and asked, “Father, you… you’re slightly overestimating the mastermind behind Lanxin Company!”
To play the victim, launch the peripheral attack, imitation attack, and finally the head-on battle was carefully plotted for victory—he admitted that the other party was indeed brilliant. However, Father’s attitude towards the mastermind behind Lanxin Company seemed slightly… overly submissive!
This made him slightly uncomfortable!
He had always thought that NBJ was the one who made others submissive instead!
Luo Desen looked up with his weary and cloudy eyes which were still glowing with brilliance. “If Lanxin Company tides through this crisis, they will definitely occupy a space in the world stage of the health supplements brands in the future, and this future isn’t too far away.”
Beneath Wen Xinya’s sharpness was an ambitious heart.
Luo Weite was slightly stunned. NBJ had been incorporated for almost twenty years and had yet to step into the international arena, yet Father actually insisted that Lanxin Company could.
NBJ’s development was all due to Father’s judgment and decisiveness. Thus, he trusted Father’s judgment—he was just in a state of slight disbelief.
Luo Desen said with a solemn expression, “Since you’ve asked today, I’ll be clear about it. If the T-K Corporation can be successfully driven out of China’s health supplements market, NBJ and Lanxin Company will compete normally—we can’t use any vicious methods of competing.”
Luo Weite’s expression changed completely. Father’s meaning was: “Do not offend Lanxin Company.”
