"Mr. Wesley, what should we do?"
"Yes. If we do as Director Wu says, we're going to suffer a huge loss. "
"My warehouse and supply chain have grown exponentially in the past two years. If we can't work with Steyr Business Network and Yun Yi Shopping Network, it'll be a disaster."
Wesley Bessie furrowed his brows tightly. He did not expect Wu Yifa and Xiao Yunhai to do this.
"If they don't want to work with you, Steyr Networks can. At most, I'll build another e-commerce website. With the Bessie Family's capabilities, it won't take long for us to compete with Yun Yi Shopping Network. "
Wesley Bessie's words did not comfort the group. Instead, they were even more worried.
The internet was different from reality. What they feared the most was the customers' shopping habits.
After the emergence of Yun Yi Shopping Network, other e-commerce websites popped up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
Other than Steyr Business Network, none of them were successful because the netizens were used to shopping there.
To change this was not something that could be done with money.
In Asia, Steyr Business Network had put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money but it still paled in comparison to Yun Yi Shopping Network.
Similarly, in Europe and America, if it were not for General Electric's help, Yun Yi Shopping Network would never be able to challenge Steyr Business Network.
Wesley Bessie's idea of using a brand new shopping website to compete with Yun Yi Shopping Network was a joke to them.
'This guy is a newbie who just graduated from school. He's dreaming too much,' the group thought.
Wesley did not expect an awkward silence after he spoke. He could not help saying angrily, "Are you all thinking of compromising with them?"
The head of the Bank of Japan, Saito Yuki, who had been working well with Yun Yi Shopping Network, pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Wesley, we agreed to oppose Mr. Wu's suggestion with you because we think that you can bring us more than before. Looking at the situation, it seems like we're getting less. I don't think it's a good idea to build a new shopping website. It's basically impossible to surpass Yun Yi Shopping Network after the merger. Even if it succeeds, I don't know how long it'll take. "
"That's right. Mr. Bessie, I hope you will think of us. Since the rise of Stell E-Commerce Network and Yun Yi Shopping Network, our company's profit growth has mainly come from them. If both sides refuse to cooperate with us, then the blow to us will be unprecedented. "
The other people in charge who were close to Wesley Bessie also expressed similar opinions.
Asking for their help without giving them anything in return, the Bessie Clan's actions were a little inappropriate.
Wesley Bessie saw that everyone had suddenly turned against him. His heart skipped a beat and he knew that things were not going well.
After Wesley Bessie took office, he saw Xiao Yunhai as an enemy that needed to be eliminated. Especially when his uncle told him that unless he could beat Xiao Yunhai in business, he would never be able to become the leader of the Bessie family.
Yun Yi Shopping Network was a joint venture between Xiao Yunhai and Wu Yifa. Wesley tried his best to stop it so that Xiao Yunhai would not have another giant company.
Even though Wu Yifa was the real leader of Yun Yi's shopping website, Xiao Yunhai held too many shares in it. It would be much more difficult to defeat him.
In fact, it was not only Wesley. The other candidates had accepted the mission as well.
Wesley Bessie took a deep breath, knowing that it was impossible to force them to compromise.
Moreover, if things were to develop according to Wu Yifa's plan, Xiao Yunhai would be even more powerful.
He had to choose the lesser of two evils.
Wesley quickly changed his strategy and said, "If that's the case, then we'll agree to CEO Wu's merger plan."
As the saying went, know thyself and know thy enemy to be victorious in every battle. He had to get into the board of directors of Yun Yi Shopping Network and obtain all the information about the development of the website so that he could be prepared when he went against Xiao Yunhai in the future.
When the others heard Wesley's words, they were surprised but happy.
Without the threat of the Bessie family, they could earn money with Yun Yi Shopping Network and Stell Business Network.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yunhai and the other two came to the meeting room again under their invitation.
After Wu Yifa sat down, he asked immediately, "So, everyone agrees to my merger plan?"
"That's right, we agree."
"This is a good thing. It's very beneficial to us."
There was a 180-degree change in everyone's opinion.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the calm Wesley and said, "Mr. Wesley Bessie, do you agree as well?"
Wesley Bessie shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Since everyone agrees, of course, I won't object."
When Wu Yifa saw that even Wesley Bessie had stopped objecting to his merger plan, he could not help exclaiming happily, "That's great. As long as everyone agrees, I guarantee that Yun Yi Shopping Network's future will be bright and limitless. "
Following that, Wu Yifa followed the plan and discussed it with everyone one by one.
Two days later, all the matters were settled.
In the new Yun Yi Shopping Network, Wu Yifa took thirty-six percent of the shares, Xiao Yunhai took thirty-four percent, Steyr Networks took seven percent, David Steyr's wife took six percent, GM and other major companies took seven percent, and the remaining ten percent would be distributed to the public.
The headquarters was in Beijing, of course, with branches in all the major cities.
The new Yun Yi Shopping Network was divided into two parts. One was Stell Business Network's C2C business and the other was Yun Yi Shopping Network's B2B business. Wu Yifa was the chairman and CEO.
After the negotiations, Wu Yifa held a grand banquet to celebrate the successful merger of the two major websites.
After the banquet, Wesley Bessie returned to the hotel and gave Elvis Bessie a call.
"Uncle, I failed," Wesley Bessie said in a low voice.
Elvis Bessie's aged voice came through.
"I told you before, you can't stop them."
"I just wanted to try. I also wanted to get to know Kungfu Xiao and see what kind of person he is."
Elvis Bessie hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Wesley Bessie said, "I think I'm a little confused. You told me that although Kungfu Xiao is young, he's calm and resourceful, and his ability is impeccable. But in front of me, he's extremely easily angered. His words are sharp and harsh, and he's extremely domineering. He's completely ungentlemanly. Compared to Mr. Wu, he's a far cry from that. Could it be that he's acting in front of you? "
Wesley Bexi did not have a good impression of Xiao Yunhai at all.
Elvis Bessie was silent for a while before he said, "I know very well about you and Kungfu Xiao. Kungfu Xiao isn't acting. He's very wise. "
"Uncle, I don't understand what you mean."
"Let's put it this way. To Kungfu Xiao, Yunyi Shopping Network is just a money-making tool. It's not his core business. The real core person is that young man, Wu Yifa. Kungfu Xiao is very clear about his position, which is to be Wu Yifa's knife. He'll do all the talking that Wu Yifa can't say. He'll do all the things that aren't easy to do. Whether he's threatening or domineering, no one will blame him for it. He's only the second-in-command with more shares, not the top. Do you understand? "
Wesley Bessie thought about it and nodded. "I understand. This person is indeed very difficult to deal with. "
Elvis Bessie said, "Of course, he's not easy to deal with for being able to get to where he is today in five years. Otherwise, he would've been eaten up long ago. I've already said it at the family meeting yesterday. Kungfu Xiao is the touchstone of the Bessie family's successor. To become the next patriarch, you'll have to defeat him in one of the three major fields — oil, entertainment, and internet. I have high hopes for you. Do your best. "
Wesley Bessie nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do my best."
After hanging up, a cold glint flashed across Wesley Bessie's eyes.
"Dear uncle, if you knew that Terrence's death was related to me, I wonder what kind of expression you'd have."
No one would have thought that Terrence Bessie's murderer would be Wesley, who had just graduated.
