Chapter 1737: The Takeover Battle Comes to an End

After Country Z’s electronics industry previously defeated overseas takeovers, this was the second time such a rousing fight to protect local brands occurred. It was not that there had been no other cases of domestic companies successfully fending off foreign takeovers, but this time, Lanxin Company had gone against a world-renowned major enterprise. It was truly an inspiring battle.

Wen Xinya paused before saying in a low voice, “It is truly a cause to celebrate that Lanxin Company has won the lawsuit and the takeover battle against T-K Group. But I don’t feel any joy or excitement. My heart just feels very heavy.”

She paused again.

Everyone went quiet as they looked toward her.

It was as if her voice had a magical quality that could make others weep or laugh with her.

“This takeover battle spanned over two years. I don’t know if everyone still remembers Mei Shan Company, Ming Yuan and NBJ? These three local companies suffered massive losses, and the first two even went bankrupt because they tried to defend against T-K Group’s takeover attempts.”

Wen Xinya’s pained voice was magnified by the reporters’ microphones. She also sounded a bit hoarse, which further accentuated her bitterness.

Silence descended across the courtyard.

It was obvious everyone remembered it all.

Some things were just impossible to forget.

Wen Xinya reached up to gently pinch her mask. With tears in her eyes, she continued, “Country Z’s newly-established health supplements market was nearly utterly destroyed because of this takeover battle. We have finally won the battle, but it was a pyrrhic victory. We paid a terrible price.”

Wen Xinya truly felt this takeover battle had been too cruel.

Even Lanxin Company had suffered major losses.

She had invested more than half of her own personal assets into Lanxin Company just to ensure its survival.

The words “pyrrhic victory” revealed just how dreary and desolate she felt.

Everyone at present was moved by her words.

“Many people lost their jobs and were forced into dire straits because of this takeover battle. They were just innocent bystanders but had to suffer the cruel consequences of this war.”

Having led a wandering life for 15 years, Wen Xinya was especially sensitive to the suffering of the common folk.

Her words stirred the hearts of everyone present, as well as countless viewers sitting in front of the television.

“As a result, I staked in everything I had just to win this takeover battle and deal T-K Group a lethal blow. I want them to know that the citizens of Country Z are no pushovers!”

And she did it!

The crowd erupted in exhilarated cheers.

***

Wen Xinya found it hard to calm down her emotions after leaving the courthouse.

Si Yiyan asked in a low voice, “Are you happy that you personally defeated a corporate behemoth like T-K Group?”

Wen Xinya had defeated a company as powerful as T-K Group all on her own. She didn’t rely on anyone else. Even the help provided by NBJ at the beginning had been minimal.

Not just anyone could defeat a major global enterprise all on their own.

Wen Xinya shook her head. “I can’t say I am happy or not. I just feel a sense of regret. This two-year battle has created a big mess out of Country Z’s health supplements market. All the brands suffered losses. I don’t know how long will it take for this industry to recover.”

This battle had indeed created many casualties.

Every time she recalled the entire journey, she would feel astounded as to how she managed to survive those two years.

She gazed at the dazzling Chinese roses blooming outside the window. She had finally won this takeover battle.

She suddenly sang out. “I ask, on this boundless land, who masters over man’s destiny?”

This was one of the phrases in the poem “Changsha” by their country’s founding leader. It was a phrase full of dignity and melancholy.

She couldn’t help asking herself who would be the true master of the future of Country Z’s health supplements industry—this tantalizing and bountiful market?

Si Yiyan took off her mask. “Lanxin Company will be the master of Country Z’s health supplements market in the future.”

She didn’t realize that she had already established a glorious reputation for herself in the business world. Lanxin Company would be the foremost player in Country Z’s health supplements market from now on.

Wen Xinya raised her eyebrows. She was at a loss for words.

Si Yiyan said, “Country Z’s health supplements market has suffered greatly from the takeover battle. Lanxin Company’s position as the leader of this market is unshakable and beyond any doubt.”

Ming Yuan and Mei Shan Company had both collapsed. NBJ suffered severe losses and would take at least three to five years to recover.

Lanxin Company was the last one standing in the country’s health supplements industry.

“Lanxin Company upheld the nation’s pride and defended against overseas takeovers. Its good reputation has already been imprinted deeply within everyone’s hearts. The citizens of Country Z can push Lanxin Company onto the global platform within the shortest period of time. Don’t underestimate the power of the people.”

Lanxin Company would very quickly take control of the entire Country Z health supplements market after the end of this takeover battle. After being publicly listed, they would soon be able to ascend into the global stage.

“Country Z’s health supplements market is very big and will be the best stepping stone to prop Lanxin Company onto the world market. Lanxin Company will quickly become one of the foremost health supplements companies in the world.”

Country Z was a populous nation, and any country with a large population would have great influence over the rest of the world. Other powerful countries might be tempted to come challenge its status, but they would never actually attack it.

It could be deduced just how powerful Lanxin Company could be in the future.

Previously, this was how Country Z’s electronics managed to ascend to the global stage.

“With Lanxin Company supporting it, Country Z’s health supplements market will be able to recover rapidly. Don’t underestimate the entrepreneurial spirit and drive of Country Z’s citizens. From what I know, the people of Country Z are more entrepreneurial than any other nationalities.”

Because they had high endurance and the will to persevere through hard times.

Others would work eight hours a day. They could work 12.

Others rested two days a week. They could rest only two days a month.

Others worked one shift per day. They could work three consecutive shifts.

They dared to bring their business into all other regions, even places that disdained Country Z citizens.

Wen Xinya rubbed her temples. “My mind has been a blank after this lawsuit victory. It seems like I really have to sit down and consider carefully the future development of Lanxin Company.”

She had not even started to think of all these.

It was not that she didn’t know how, but that she hadn’t had the opportunity to do so.
