Twenty days later, a video was being played in a small conference room in Atlanta's Saint Brilliant Manor Hotel. Under the signboard with the 'Rising Sun' symbol, there was a long queue of people queuing outside the shop. Behind the glass door was a crowd of people.
"Actually, there's no need to play it. I think everyone in the electronics retail association has seen this scene countless times."
As the curtains on both sides were pulled open, the room became bright again. A man sitting at the end of the long conference table was smoking a cigar. He puffed out a cloud of smoke and said, "As shown in the video, the sales of Xuri Company did not decrease in the past 20 days. Instead, it increased. Especially seven days ago, when they opened two new stores in the east side of the city, they received more than 3,000 customers, and the estimated sales are over 5 million gold duns. Five days later, their seven stores in the west side of the city will also see a surge in sales. There are many people there. Based on this trend, their stores will cover the whole of Atlanta in a month's time. "
"It might not even be a month yet. The store opposite me is working overtime to renovate it. A few of my store's employees have been poached by them. Their basic salary is low, but they get a lot of commission. "
"This is troublesome! Everyone, this company is as greedy as a snake! They said that they will have a promotion for half a month, but after 15 days, they said that they will extend the promotion to the end of the month to thank the customers. That means there are still five more days of promotion left. "
"Look, they are absorbing funds like crazy. They are thinking of ways to release the accumulated demand. That way, they will have more money to expand their territory. This is a good idea, but they have broken the rules. "
"Bullsh * t! My store did not have any customers yesterday. Most importantly, even if we give them the same discount, we will not be able to attract customers. "
"I have thought of lowering the price to attract more customers. But I know we can't beat them in this aspect. Xuri Company's sales for the past 10 days are at least 200 million gold duns, maybe even 300 million. I heard through my special channels that Panasonic, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba have signed a new sales agreement with them, and the commission is now at 5%. That's why Xuri Company's salespeople are recommending these three stores. "
"A few TV stations even reported on the news yesterday. Bullsh * t! This would only make their sales even hotter. This is practically free advertising — "
"Everyone, it's time for us to take action. Are we just going to sit back and watch? I don't want to quit this industry, but if this situation continues, the seven shops in my hands will only last for half a year at most before they close down. I won't be able to hold on until then, so I'll probably change professions in advance. "
When someone said this, the entire conference room suddenly quietened down. Everyone looked at the man at the head of the table.
"Eight days ago, I sent a letter to the owner of the Xuri Company, Andre Lee Wildenstein, inviting him to join our Electrical Appliance Retail Guild, but he rejected it. But actually, even if I invited him to join, it would be useless. "
The middle-aged man spread his hands and said with a helpless expression, "You want him to stop the discount and unify the price with us? But even so, I think it will be very difficult for us to compete with him. Their sales model had a huge advantage. If we want to open a similar store, we will need two months to prepare. At that time, their stores would have been all over Atlanta. So, I want to ask everyone, you want to stop him, right? Even if you have to use some extra, illegal means? "
When the more than 40 electrical appliance retailers heard the words "extra" and "illegal," they could not help but swallow their saliva, but no one refuted.
"Very good!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I have to mention that I have a video here. Everyone should have enough understanding of the situation I'm talking about, right? If one day, you go to the police station and try to shirk your responsibility, this video can prove it for us. Of course, I will prepare the Styx contract after that, and I will guarantee that this will only be a secret between us — "
"Just tell us what to do, Shelek." Someone interrupted the middle-aged man.
Someone interrupted the middle-aged man, "We were already prepared before we came here. Just look at the range of the Electrical Appliance Retail Guild this time. The participating members have at least two million invested in the electrical appliance retail industry. The others in our guild can change professions. At most, they can stop doing this business, but we have no other choice. "
"Shelek, do we have to go to this point? I agree to teach that kid a lesson, but I also heard that Andre Lee Wildenstein is a scary person. Blood Hand's Antonio was killed by him. "
"I also know about this, but I think it's ridiculous. He's just a high school student."
"That's even scarier. Nathan Sports Group is behind him, and his last name is Wildenstein."
At this time, the man named Shelek waved his hand and suppressed the voices of everyone in the room.
"Everyone, I have to explain to you that Blood Hand's Antonio was indeed killed by André. But in the past few days, three members of the Magic Tower Committee have promised me that Naessen's Hand and Wildenstein Group will not interfere with our competition. They can also guarantee that no external force can help Xuri Company. "
"To be honest, I am very dissatisfied. Their intentions are unfathomable. But in the end, we still have to decide what strategy we should adopt by voting. Either we get rid of him, or we change professions. If it's the first choice, please raise your hand. If it's the second choice, as long as more than five people don't raise their hands, this meeting will end. "
Shelek glanced at the people in the room, then slightly raised the corner of his mouth with a satisfied expression. "Very well, then let's start collecting the war funds. I will take out 700,000 gold duns. I personally suggest that it's best to take out a tenth of your assets. "
…
An hour after the secret meeting ended, Li Mochen, who was in the new private gymnasium training his body with the Heavenly Cycle Mystic Spiritual Thunder Aura, received a call.
"You've collected 19,000,000 gold duns for the war funds? That's a lot of money, enough to hire a mid-level assassin organization. Their security is very strict? No recording? That's a pity. EMM ~ The whole process is recorded in Shelek's hands. Thank you so much, Mr. Eric. This is very important information. "
"Of course, I promised you that I will buy all the assets under your name at market price. On top of that, I will also give you the promised 1,000,000 in cash. But Mr. Eric, are you sure no one noticed? "
"You don't have to worry about that. If you had used the talisman I gave you before, you wouldn't have to worry about the Styx contract. You can sense it too, right? When you signed the contract, your soul wasn't bound by the Styx. "
"Alright, I will send two teams of professionals to protect you and escort you to the west coast."
When Li Mochen put down the phone, Elisa Targaryen's lips twitched. "19,000,000 gold duns for the war funds? Wow, what a grand occasion. "
But Li Mochen had spent 16,000,000 gold duns just to buy Isadora Wickes.
A month ago, she would have thought that this was a huge sum, but after experiencing the war between Li Mochen and the Dragon Witch Cult, she really didn't know how to evaluate it.
