The news that Metrics rejected Piaget's 6.5 million yuan acquisition and actively responded to the lawsuit was subsequently reported by the media.
It shocked the outside world for a while.
Outsiders thought that metrical poetry was dead this time. After all, it is impossible to survive by chance if you mess with a giant like Le Sheng.
So the Earl's acquisition of 6.5 million is a very good opportunity for it to escape.
Shareholders get a lot of money and get out of a losing lawsuit. Such a good thing is simply pie in the sky.
Who would have thought that it would be rejected? It really surprised the outside world.
“Do the metrical poems think they can’t lose their case?”
“It’s still not willing to sell for 6.5 million, what on earth is it thinking?”
“Is it really confident that it can win the case, or is it really unclear?”
The outside world has speculated.
Ye Xiaoming and Feng Shijie were also shocked when they heard the news.
They both originally thought that Ouyang Xue would be eager to sell the company to the earl, but unexpectedly she chose to refuse in the end.
(They have already left the company and do not know that the company is now controlled by Xiao Yawen. They thought it was Ouyang Xue who rejected it.)
"No wonder she, a weak woman, can open such a big business in the ancient city, but her courage is beyond our comparison." Feng Shijie couldn't help but sigh.
“Well, we originally had equal opportunities, but it’s a pity that neither of us grasped it.” Ye Xiaoming also shook his head and sighed, “There is no way, we are all petty, and the mud cannot hold up the wall.”
When they first formed Rhythm Poetry, the three of them had equal opportunities. Ouyang Xue was even willing to advance capital to the two of them, allowing them to hold half of the shares. But neither of them dared to borrow money to invest because they were afraid of losing money.
When Lexheng Company sued, they were so frightened that they immediately withdrew their shares and resigned. As a result, Metrics Poems was now bought for 6.5 million, and Ouyang Xue even refused to sell it.
Obviously she believed that the value of metrical poetry was much higher than this number.
She only invested 1 million at the beginning, but now she has received at least 5.5 million in return. Within two years, the funds increased five-and-a-half times, achieving financial freedom in one fell swoop.
In comparison, they both have to continue running for their lives now.
Originally, they were almost on the same starting line, but now they are so far behind. In the final analysis, they are still lack of courage, too timid, and panic first when something happens.
Otherwise, the two of them could earn one or two million. I dare not say that they would take advantage of the money. At least they would be considered homeless in the ancient city.
It’s a pity that there is no regret in selling medicine in the world.
…
July 13th, Metrics and Lesheng Company exchanged evidence before the trial.
Le Sheng was immediately dumbfounded after getting the evidence prepared by Xiao Yawen.
None of them expected that such a beautiful, fashionable, and trendy speaker as the Metric No. 1 would be made by a group of farmers in Wangmiao Village, which simply subverted their cognition.
They don’t even dare to think that the products of Metrics Company are the products of this kind of handicraft workshop and home-made steelmaking.
Because the villagers' production costs have been extremely reduced, even if the speakers are sold for 3,400 yuan, they can still make money. As a result, Lesheng sued Metrics for dumping it at a price lower than cost, which constituted unfair competition.
After seeing such a conclusion, Lin Yufeng, chairman of Lesheng Company, was also shocked.
The reason why Le Sheng filed the lawsuit was because the price of the Metrics speakers was too low, which affected Le Sheng's own sales and also made Le Sheng bear the label of "black-hearted profiteering". In order to tear off this label and reshape the image of Le Sheng as "cheap and high-quality", he filed a lawsuit against the metrical poetry. Originally, he thought he would win.
Because he sent someone to calculate the cost of the Metric No. 1. In the south, a major audio production province, if OEM manufacturers produce speakers of the same specifications, even if they are produced on a large scale, each set will cost at least 4,200 yuan.
This price is almost the lowest in the country.
First of all, the South has large-scale production, which can effectively reduce costs; secondly, there is an influx of cheap labor in the South, and labor costs can also be reduced.
So he firmly believed that the price of the 3,400-meter poem was really sold at a price lower than the cost. Therefore, he had enough confidence to file a lawsuit and contacted the media to hype it up. He even claimed that if he lost the lawsuit, he would jump off the building at the headquarters.
This lawsuit has now become a hot topic and has attracted national attention.
If Le Sheng loses the lawsuit, it will really be over.
Once upon a time, Lesheng’s label of “black-hearted profiteering” could no longer be removed. From then on, it would become the lifelong enemy of audiophiles, and no one would buy Lesheng’s speakers again.
Then Lesheng Company's production and sales will come to a standstill, and its huge debt will completely crush it.
Because Le Sheng's debt ratio is as high as 75%, which was not high before, and creditors will not be in a hurry to press for debt. But once Lesheng loses the lawsuit, its products will be unsalable and their value will depreciate significantly.
At that time, the creditors swarming at the door will drive Le Sheng down.
Second, he has already made bold claims that he will jump off the building if he loses the lawsuit. If it were anyone else, even if they lost the lawsuit, they would not admit it.
But he is Lin Yufeng, a respectable person. Face to him, his face is even more important than his life, and he cannot afford to lose. So, this is trouble.
…
By this time, Rui Xiaodan had also arrived in the south and was in contact with the target Shen Nan.
After half a month of contact, the relationship between the two gradually became closer.
Shen Nan also gradually became less wary of Rui Xiaodan through her understanding of her, and informed her lover Wu Chengxiang by phone.
Wu Chengxiang still refused to believe Rui Xiaodan and hoped that Shen Nan would take her to Sanqin.
First of all, it attracted the attention of the police and made them misunderstand that Shen Nan went to Sanqin to collect stolen money. Because Wu Chengxiang and Shen Nan are both from Sanqin, according to the psychology of ordinary people, hiding things in places they are most familiar with will make them feel more secure;
Secondly, if Shen Nan's westward journey went smoothly and was not followed or arrested, it would mean that Shen Nan was not exposed, and it also meant that Rui Xiaodan was not an undercover agent, so he would be relieved;
Three days later, Shen Nan took Rui Xiaodan westward and turned her into a hostage in disguise to prevent Lin Qinghei from taking advantage of her.
In order to further eliminate Wu Chengxiang's suspicion, Rui Xiaodan and Shen Nan immediately embarked on a journey to Sanqin.
Xiang Nan followed quietly all the way and even bought the same flight.
However, because he was proficient in the art of disguise and used supernatural powers to change his identity information, he did not arouse any suspicion at all.
After arriving in Sanqin, Shen Nan took Rui Xiaodan around, and finally took her to Wu Chengxiang and her hometown - Yanzhou.
Here, Shen Nan found an excuse to be separated from Rui Xiaodan for a long time, giving the illusion that she was going to collect the stolen money.
If Rui Xiaodan is really an undercover agent and the police are really following her, they will definitely not let her wander around. They will definitely send people to follow her and even take the opportunity to arrest her.
This is also the last test Wu Chengxiang gives to Rui Xiaodan.
