Chapter 2347 - 1777: You Guys Talk
When Han He learned that Bai Xiaosheng had given up competing with him in the new market and instead went to target the lucrative businesses in his family’s eastern and southern regions, his expression changed drastically.
Those businesses are the family’s foundation, the lifeline for survival, absolutely not something to be compromised!
Han He also realized that among the people present, there were quite a few helping Bai Xiaosheng!
This situation made Han He momentarily furious.
Just at that moment, he suddenly heard the news that Director Hou was arriving.
Han He was immediately inspired, deciding to use Director Hou to pressure Bai Xiaosheng.
At this moment, as everyone was about to head out, this was the worst time for internal strife, especially one escalating to such a scale.
Han He believed that if Director Hou learned of this, Bai Xiaosheng would surely be criticized and forced to stop.
Furthermore, Bai Xiaosheng’s "untactful move" could leave a very bad impression on Director Hou, resulting in significant intangible losses later.
Anyone supporting Bai Xiaosheng would also be "implicated" by association.
Suddenly, Han He became excited, as if he had seized a perfect opportunity for counterattack, tightening everyone’s weak spot.
The initiative was back in his hands, and it felt incredibly satisfying!
Behind him, Han Zizhi also became excited.
"That’s right, we must protest to Director Hou; this Mr. Bai has gone too far. Please, Director Hou, administer justice!" Han Zizhi also softly reiterated.
Upon hearing the father and son say this, the expressions of those present also changed subtly.
Everyone present had some role in facilitating or even helping Bai Xiaosheng.
After all, to target over thirty companies within a week and simultaneously strike at their supply chains, sales chains, and funding chains, causing issues from products to services and customers, only to have these "issues" suddenly erupt like an "acute illness"— this was not something one or two large groups could achieve. It was the result of collective effort. If implicated, who could escape...?
Many privately criticized Bai Xiaosheng’s choice of timing.
Han He had already been strategized against by Bai Xiaosheng, but making a move at this moment was really unwise...
Doing so before the visit would displease higher-ups, not only causing a crisis for Bai Xiaosheng but making it difficult for everyone else to evade blame as well.
Dong Tianlu, Lin Tianyi, Hong Chengtian couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiaosheng, while Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan both spoke to "mediate" the parties.
"Everyone here is a businessman. In the business arena, conflicts and friction are inevitable. However, there are no deep-seated grudges, as we’re all after profit and gains. I suggest both parties take a step back, resolve this matter, and perhaps seize this chance to become friends—this would be a good outcome."
Lu Yun spoke to Han He, expressing a willingness to act as peacemaker.
"Mr. Lu is right. Previously, it was just business competition, albeit somewhat intense. Now that we’re all here together, it’s also fate. How about sharing a drink and laughing off past grievances?" Jia Chengshan suggested to Han He, urging him.
With Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan leading the way to mediation, several people present joined in agreement.
"Indeed, as business people, peace and harmony are paramount!"
"Let big issues become small and small issues disappear, bringing joy to everyone. Both parties should take a step back at the very least to prevent further escalation."
This persuasive talk brought a smile to Han He’s face, while Han Zizhi behind him secretly sneered at Bai Xiaosheng.
In short, the situation is beneficial for the Han family, and these people are starting to get scared! Han Zizhi thought to himself.
Bai Xiaosheng appeared calm, even indifferent, as if not believing that Han He would dare escalate the conflict to Hou Yuncheng at this time.
Seeing this expression made Han Zizhi feel somewhat uneasy.
Han He glanced toward the entrance, noticing someone coming inside, although Hou Yuncheng wasn’t yet there. But he believed that within two minutes, he’ll arrive.
Turning back to Bai Xiaosheng, Han He interlocked his fingers on the table, asking with a half-smile, "Mr. Bai, how do you propose we resolve this matter?"
Bai Xiaosheng pondered briefly, then smiled, "Since everyone’s suggesting reconciliation, it’s best we resolve this matter between our two families swiftly. Otherwise, delaying overnight may cause significant losses for Mr. Han."
Looking at Bai Xiaosheng behaving this way, Han He felt a fire rising within.
Was he being mocked or threatened?
"What kind of resolution would be considered ’proper’ resolution?" Han He asked.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
"Currently, our competition exists in two directions: the newly emerging markets in the west and the existing market domains in the east and south. Mr. Han, you spent considerable effort to capture the new western market, while I expended effort securing market share in the east and south. For a proper resolution, we should transform our conflict into collaboration. How about this: you retain the existing market in the east and south, and we jointly develop the western markets. My enterprises will cooperate with yours for mutual growth. You should open up your various channels to us as much as possible. How does that sound?"
Considering Bai Xiaosheng’s significant investment, he did not make excessive demands, such as asking Han He to give up half of the newly acquired western market share. Bai Xiaosheng proposed joint development and channel sharing, which seemed reasonable.
