Subsequently, Le Sheng sued Metrics in a lawsuit, and Xiao Yawen was officially represented.
She first went to Wangmiao Village to actually photograph the villagers' processing process, which will be very strong evidence.
The reason why Lesheng sued Metrics was that they believed that Metrics was dumping products at a price lower than cost, which constituted unfair competition.
But what they didn’t know was that the Metric No. 1 speakers were all made by villagers in Wangmiao Village under extremely harsh production conditions.
They don’t need factories, protective measures, work-related injury insurance, etc., they don’t need vacation days, they don’t need to pay high taxes, they don’t need to worry about all kinds of pollution...
Therefore, their costs can be kept as low as possible. Therefore, even if the wholesale price of Metrics No. 1 speakers is only 3,400 yuan, it is still profitable, which makes Le Sheng's "unfair competition" argument self-defeating.
So Metrics has a very high chance of winning this lawsuit, and she is full of confidence.
…
While Xiao Yawen was busy collecting evidence and actively responding to the lawsuit, Rui Xiaodan also received an undercover mission and was going to the south for a while.
It turns out that there is a wanted criminal named Wu Chengxiang who embezzled 34 million yuan in public funds. The police have been trying every means to catch him. Recently they found out that the criminal in this case had a mistress named Shen Nan.
The police want to arrest Wu Chengxiang and recover all the stolen money. Therefore, they sent one of their own, Lin Qing, to secretly contact Wu Chengxiang in the name of "helping to collect money and transfer funds."
In order to prove Lin Qing's identity, they need Rui Xiaodan to play Lin Qing's mistress to contact Shen Nan. To be precise, it was to help Lin Qing cover.
So that Wu Chengxiang can believe that Lin Qing is really capable of collecting money and transfer the money out of the country, so that he can safely hand over the stolen money to Lin Qing. It will be convenient to arrest him after he hands over the money.
Otherwise, even if the person is caught, the 34 million stolen money cannot be recovered, which will cause heavy losses to the country.
After receiving the mission, Rui Xiaodan said a simple goodbye to Xiang Nan, "I'm going out for a while, so you can wait for me at home."
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
But he knew that Rui Xiaodan was in great danger this time.
It’s not that there is any danger in being undercover, because she is just covering up for Lin Qing, and she is under the protection of the police, so she will not be in any danger.
The key thing is that after she completed her mission, when she came back, she met a group of wanted criminals on the road. A fierce gunfight broke out.
Because Rui Xiaodan was alone, he died heroically in the end.
In order to prevent this tragedy from happening again, after Rui Xiaodan went to the south, Xiang Nan followed her quietly, hiding beside her and protecting her in a timely manner.
Anyway, not only can he disguise himself, but he can also speak the dialects of various provinces. It is not difficult at all to pretend to be another person.
…
At the beginning of July, another well-known audio company in the mainland, Earl, offered a purchase price of 6.5 million to the Metrics Company.
Once this news was reported, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
Because Metrics is facing a six million claim from Le Sheng. In the eyes of the outside world, it is already a fish on the chopping block and will undoubtedly die. Unexpectedly, the earl was willing to pay 6.5 million to acquire it, which is really puzzling.
Ye Xiaoming and Feng Shijie were dumbfounded when they saw this news.
They didn’t expect that Metrics could be so valuable. Even though it was destined to go bankrupt, it was still worth 6.5 million.
Ye Xiaoming also felt baffled. If the earl acquires the Metric Poems and loses the Metric Poems lawsuit, then the six million compensation will have to be paid by the earl. Then, inside and outside, the earl would have to lose 12.5 million.
“Unless it knew, it was impossible to lose the lawsuit against Metric Poetry, or in other words, even if it lost the lawsuit, the value of Metric Poetry would be more than 12.5 million.” Ye Xiaoming analyzed.
When Feng Shijie heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded on the spot, "How is that possible?"
“Since he can open his company to such a big scale, he can’t get his fame in vain.” Ye Xiaoming nodded.
Although the name of Piaget Company is not as famous as that of Le Sheng, its company's scale is even four times that of Le Sheng, with a market value of up to 200 million yuan.
After all, Piaget mainly produces AV speakers, that is, home theaters, and the market is much larger than HiFi speakers.
How can a boss who has built the company into such a state be stupider than these two?
“If that’s the case, the two of us will really be unable to hold up the wall.” Feng Shijie couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Both he and Ye Xiaoming thought that the Metric Poems lawsuit would definitely lose, so they couldn't wait to withdraw their shares and resign. Looking at it now, it is clearly a blind move.
Even if they can persist here, his 15% share can earn back 800,000 yuan. Eight hundred thousand is enough for him to earn for a lifetime.
Ye Xiaoming also shook his head and sighed. If he had not resigned, then once Metrics was merged into Earl, he would at least be a mid- to high-level executive.
Even when Metrics was first established, he shouldn’t have been so timid. If he had joined Feng Shijie, he would have definitely made more money.
“I finally understand why Brother Ding asked us to wait.” Ye Xiaoming suddenly smiled bitterly.
When they proposed to resign and withdraw their shares, Xiang Nan suggested that they wait. However, they were afraid of losing money and wanted to move faster, so they rejected Xiang Nan's kindness.
Now it seems that they are really the biggest fools in the universe.
"I understand now." Feng Shijie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But now I think, it's better not to understand."
Money can't buy the medicine for regret, so he would rather not understand that it's good to be a fool. Now he understands, and every day from now on, he will blame himself for why he did such a stupid thing.
How can he live the rest of his life?
…
However, faced with the Earl's 6.5 million acquisition, the new chairman of the company, Xiao Yawen, did not agree.
She believed that Earl's company was sincere in its acquisition, because no matter whether the Metrics lawsuit was won or lost, it would only be good for them.
If they win the lawsuit, they will successfully acquire a well-known HiFi audio company. Since then, they have successfully expanded from the AV audio market to the HiFi audio market, seizing Lesheng's market share.
If they lose the lawsuit, they can also avoid the merger of Lesheng and metrical poetry. Because once Metrics loses the lawsuit, it will definitely not be able to pay 6 million in compensation, and the entire company will have to pay compensation to Le Sheng.
After Lesheng obtains Metrics, he can use his own sales channels and kits, as well as Metrics’ patents and brand influence to become even bigger and stronger. This is a threat to Piaget.
So although it has to pay a certain price to acquire Metrics, it is still better than cheaper competitors.
It’s just that Xiao Yawen did not agree to the count’s acquisition. Because in her opinion, the probability of winning this lawsuit is very high. Once won, the value of the metrical poetry will increase again.
She also didn't want to surrender without fighting, as if she felt guilty and didn't dare to respond.
Besides, in her opinion, the future of metrical poetry is very promising, and she is not willing to sell the whole thing.
