Three months later.

These are the three months of the craziest business growth in DG China, and the three months of the lives of Charles and Chen Zheng.

After many years, there has never been such a glorious time. So much so that Chen Zheng often misses these years in the future. He lingers on it, like a sweet dream as poppy. He wishes that he will never wake up.

At this moment, Chen Zheng is still immersed in this wonderful life.

It was night, in the six-star hotel in Nanyue in Lin City, the lights were bright and the hair was shadowed. On the background board in front was a huge symbol of DG China, as well as a series of amazing numbers and achievements:

“dg China’s annual sales exceeded 500 million;

zamon ranked first in China's most influential brand;

The market share exceeded 25%;

Monthly sales growth rate is 300%;

…”

Today is the last day of the year, and it is also the time for the DG China Annual Celebration Dinner to be held.

In the wonderful music, under the gaze of lights, Charles put on his most expensive tuxedo, put on the rostrum with a bow tie, and smiled. He counted all the achievements made by DG China over the past year; his humor and wisdom won bursts of laughter and applause.

Finally, he invited all the senior executives of the company to the stage and toast the employees, guests and media present. Standing beside him was Chen Zheng, who was full of energy and handsome appearance. The two held hands and made a gaze in the audience. Charles took the microphone and said, "What I want to thank most is my friend and colleague Chen Zheng, and all Chinese employees. Without your support, DG China would not have achieved such results, and it would not have been possible to contribute our world-class products to Chinese consumers!"

These words brought the atmosphere to the highest point. Everyone cheered and applauded in unison, and the senior officials drank the red wine in their hands. Chen Zheng and Charles embraced their arms, looked at the vast lights and faces below the audience, and felt unprecedented pride and unprecedented smugness.

He finally led Si Meiqi to a new peak. He thought that he finally won everything he deserved.

Why didn’t he give Chinese people a face like this? His Si Meiqi has become a subsidiary of the world’s best luggage company. They can learn the best technology and the most advanced management process. In time, he will definitely do better and get more.

He will get what he wants and stand at the peak of Chinese businessmen.

...

More enthusiastic music sounded, and many people slipped into the dance floor: Americans, Australians, Chinese... There were beautiful young female staff members who came to invite the bosses to dance. Charles and Chen Zheng smiled at each other, each holding their dance partners, and joined the dance floor. This action successfully brought the atmosphere to a climax again.

Now the dance is Chacha. The two bosses dance very smoothly and unrestrainedly, attracting everyone's attention. When they quickly twisted their waists and hips and danced their arms, Chen Zheng's heart seemed to be filled with the warm atmosphere on the scene. That thought flashed through his mind again - I hope this period of time will never end. The glory as beautiful as a dream will never fall.

He will never return to the bleak, angry, hopeless valley.

The market will always bring us unexpected results, even contradictory results. No master who studies the market can thoroughly understand and predict the direction of the market. Because it is composed of countless consumers, it is affected by countless factors.

For example, during this period, in sharp contrast to the popularity of DG China's business, the national resistance to DG China reached an unprecedented climax. Many university associations jointly boycotted the DG brand; many luggage industries complained on the Internet and the media, protesting DG's own infighting and acquisitions; one economist after another published articles denounced foreign capital's malicious occupation of China's luggage industry... Of course, this is indispensable to the fuel of Li Zhicheng and Ning Weikai.

However, it is undeniable that the more popular the seller, the stronger the resistance;

The stronger the resistance, the more popular the selling.

Two extreme situations appear in the market at the same time. No one can explain exactly why. Many scholars who are committed to maintaining national brands can only sigh.

But almost everyone can feel that the current Chinese luggage market is like a huge balloon, with the bigger and bigger blowing, and the undercurrents inside are becoming more and more intense. In addition to Aida Group and Ning Weikai's Shaying brand, they are still strongly maintaining the trend of competing with DG, and their business scale has grown against the market. Other luggage companies have all felt the same huge pressure - survival is becoming more and more difficult, and their future is becoming more and more confused.

And, amid the temptation of DG's acquisition of interests and the strong calls for protecting national brands, it is becoming increasingly undecided.

Of course, this also includes the plummeting Xin Baorui, and its two heads, the Zhu brothers.

——

This was the most common night. Zhu Hancheng and Zhu Hanyuan, brothers, sat in a small conference room on the top floor of Zhu's headquarters, and secretly discussed Si Meiqi's equity issue again. Both of them looked solemn and focused.

The so-called dilemma probably refers to their current situation. The last time they sold their shares in Xinbaorui, they were scolded by their father afterwards. But the truth was done, so old man Zhu couldn't do with these two sons.

Originally, they planned to wait and see an opportunity to raise the price and sell the remaining shares to DG. They did not intend to leave Xinbaorui.

But now, the situation is different. They did not expect that the public opinion community would be so serious in its resistance to DG. Many media and scholars seemed to be staring at entrepreneurs like them. Once someone sells their brands and companies, they will immediately be scolded.

The Zhu brothers are from a noble family and are very face-saving people. They must not let their reputation suffer such losses, nor can they affect the real estate and financial companies they have. So the current situation is developing beyond their original expectations and control - they can no longer sell it to DG.

But as DG business becomes better and better, Xinbaorui's business is gradually shrinking. They cannot let the company rot in their hands. So what they most hope now is to find a Chinese buyer. As for whether the other party will resell Xinbaorui to foreign capital, it is not their business. If they want to be a national sinner, let others be the ones. They only have money.

Now, after reaching out to some people, they finally meet a suitable buyer.

He is a businessman from Beijing, and has a government background at home. He is also very close to many state-owned enterprises in Lin City. They have known such a person and have never had any relationships or relationships with Ning Weikai.

So they were relieved. They would sign an equity transfer agreement secretly tomorrow morning. Although the price was much lower than what they had expected, under the current situation, it was the best choice.

However, since the other party has invested, it naturally wants to buy at the lowest price and obtain the controlling stake of Xinbaorui. Therefore, the other party also asked that they also hope that they would help to buy shares in the hands of Old Man Zhu or Zhu Hanyu.

Of course, the Zhu brothers did not dare to mention this matter to their father immediately. So they put their ideas on Zhu Hanyu. Today, they were going to call Zhu Hanyu, who was born in the deep place, and talk to him.

After a little consideration and discussion, my second brother Zhu Hancheng picked up his cell phone and dialed it over.

——

Zhu Hanyu has been forgetting to charge her mobile phone recently and often doesn't bring her mobile phone. When her second brother called her home, she happened to return home from outside and walked through the entrance barefoot.

It was seven or eight o'clock at night, and the room was dim and there were no lights on. Only the street lights outside the window reflected the shadow of the trees all over the house.

Ning Weikai obviously hasn't come back yet.

Zhu Hanyu was a little depressed, and sat on the sofa with her knees in her arms and pressed the hands-free button.

Zhu Hancheng's gentle voice came: "Hanyu, are you at home? Why don't you turn on your phone?"

Zhu Hanyu was slightly stagnant.

Since she made the decision last time and entrusted the equity to Ning Weikai, her two brothers have become very angry. So she hasn't contacted them for a long time.

At this moment, when she heard her brother's voice again, her heart softened, and she felt aggrieved, and she replied softly: "Second brother..."

Zhu Hancheng was also silent for a moment, but his voice became softer: "Brother is also by his side. Hanyu, you haven't returned to the mansion for dinner for many days. Should you come here tomorrow? My brother and I are back."

Zhu Hanyu bit her lower lip lightly, and her voice even trembled: "No, brother, I'm going to the volunteer club tomorrow, will I be fine next time?"

"Okay." The two brothers replied in unison. At this time, the elder brother spoke: "Hanyu, we care about you, do you understand?"

"……clear."

On the other side, the Zhu brothers looked at each other, but the second brother said, "Hanyu, I want to discuss something with you."

He briefly told his sister about the sale of shares and briefly explained the interests. Finally, he said: "Hanyu, you may not understand these things very well. Xinbaorui is no longer possible. Instead of holding them in your hands, it is better to exchange them for cash. You can invest in and buy some stocks or real estate. Or you can directly buy shares of my brother and my company and give you the lowest price. This is definitely better than holding Xinbaorui's shares." Although his words were very purposeful, they were indeed heart-warming and considering their sister's interests.

Zhu Hanyu also understood this. She was bored for a while and said, "Thank you, brother, but I have entrusted the equity to Weikai. I want to consider this matter."

On the other end, the Zhu brothers exchanged glances again.

On the one hand, they heard Zhu Hanyu's tone loose and did not blindly protect Ning Weikai like before; on the other hand, they also saw that Ning Weikai was indeed the biggest resistance now. So Zhu Hancheng spoke again and explained the interests of it to her more deeply. However, Zhu Hanyu always said that she should consider it, which seemed very hesitant.

Finally, the elder brother spoke.

"Hanyu, I never want to say this to you. But we brothers cannot see you being bullied and hurt." He said in a cold tone, "Ning Weikai has a love wife outside. I heard that she was taken to the office and went in and out every day. Why do you still have to consider it for him..."

"elder brother!"

Zhu Hanyu suddenly spoke, her voice was unprecedentedly excited, and she interrupted him toughly.

Through the phone, both brothers could hear her low breathing due to excitement. She seemed to be hit by someone and was almost panicked, and said quickly: "Don't say it anymore, I promise you to consider it. I'll hang up beforehand..."

With a "knock" sound, the phone hung up.

On this end, the Zhu brothers looked at each other. After a moment of silence, Zhu Er spoke: "Do you think she will sell it?"

Zhu Da shook his head: "I don't know. Let it go." After a pause, he said again: "Don't force her."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Hanyu pressed off the handset button of the landline almost disgusted. Then she continued to hold her knees and looked blankly at the quiet night outside the window, tears flowing down silently.

At this moment, she heard the slow, familiar footsteps sounding behind her.

She turned around incredibly and saw Ning Weikai walking out of the bedroom. It turned out that he had returned home at some point and had been sleeping in the bedroom.

At this moment, he was wearing the couple's pajamas she had carefully selected, with a little messy hair and no slippers. His handsome face was hidden in the darkness of the room, standing a few steps away, looking at her quietly. Only his eyes, the slender eyes that were usually filled with smiles and light, were dark and burning at this moment, as if they were full of complex and surging emotions.

She also stared at him blankly.

"Hanyu, I didn't cheat." His voice was hoarse and light, "I will never cheat in the future."

——

On the same night, Li Zhicheng got off work from Aida and returned to the residential community alone.

This is the most lively time in the community every day. All shops have doors open, people and vehicles are in and out. Li Zhicheng is wearing a black coat and slowly paces to a restaurant.

The taste of this family is good. He and Lin Qian used to come here to make dinner.

Although he was taciturn and arrogant, the restaurant manager became familiar with him, so he diligently led him to a remote table and sat down, asking, "Do you still cook two dishes and take them away?"

Li Zhicheng nodded: "Thank you."

The female manager couldn't help asking again: "Your girlfriend hasn't come back on a business trip?" In the past, two people came to eat together, handsome men and beautiful women, snuggling intimately, which made others envious. At that time, this cool and elite man also had a lot more smile.

When she mentioned Lin Qian, Li Zhicheng smiled a little.

"Well, she doesn't know how to come back yet," he replied faintly.

As the year approaches, there are already children outside the window setting fireworks on the side of the road, clustered by clusters, dazzling light. Li Zhicheng lightly buckles the teacup with his fingers and watches quietly for a while. At this time, the waiter brought the packaged meal over, paid the bill and took it. He walked out of the noisy restaurant and walked back to the villa by the lake not far away.

In the night, the shadows of trees sway and the path is deep. Li Zhicheng held the takeaway in one hand and put the other in his pocket. When he walked to the grape trellis in the front yard, he paused.

At some point, the vines had already climbed up, with dense branches and leaves, and green.

Li Zhicheng looked at it silently for a while, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.
