Uncle Tang rushed in from outside and reported to Xiao Jianming in front of the three sisters present, "In Brazil, there’s news. They’re saying that Zhao’s new coffee, launched on the first day, has received an overwhelming response. Local dia have reported on it, and sales are expected to surge day by day in the short term, with no issues, except whether subsequent funding can keep up."
Xiao Jianming listened expressionlessly to these words.
It wasn’t until Uncle Tang’s tone shifted as he ntioned, "There seems to be a problem with the Yang Family."
"What problem?" Xiao Jianming asked, tapping his fingers on the soup bowl.
Xiao Shulan and the others were initially confused by what they heard.
Uncle Tang continued, "They intended to imitate Mada’s handmade creative coffee cup designs, and then find dostic manufacturers, which should have been easy. However, now their manufactured products have infringed upon the intellectual property and patents of a well-known international brand. A complaint has been filed, and the first batch of their products has been seized."
Huh?
The three daughters of the Xiao Family exclaid in surprise at the sa ti. It all seed utterly incredible and unimaginable.
According to this, weren’t the cups Gu Nuan made for the first ti at that competition? Whether patents, intellectual property, or trademarks, applications all take ti. When Gu Nuan learned about Zhao Family’s troubles and went to support them, it was only a matter of days, right? How could she have obtained that patent so quickly?
If not for this reason, Mrs. Yang wasn’t foolish, so why would she think about brazenly copying Gu Nuan’s work? She must have thought that Gu Nuan hadn’t secured all the patents for her design yet.
"How, how did this happen?" The youngest, Xiao Shuju, exclaid in astonishnt.
Xiao Jianming’s mouth curved slightly as he glanced at the youngest who often spoke without thinking, saying, "Is it hard to guess? What she took were the cups Zhao Family might have originally planned for their own wine, just slightly modified. Of course, Zhao Family had already applied for both dostic and international patents for those cups."
Only then did the three Xiao sisters co to a realization.
It turns out, Gu Nuan had deliberately set a trap.
Uncle Tang felt sowhat emotional and admiringly said, "It seems that she had already noticed that the Chairman would say the competition would continue."
The look in Xiao Jianming’s eyes deepened by several shades imdiately.
Sensing that there was a subtle shift in the atmosphere, as if there was much more at stake than just Gu Nuan outdoing the Yang Family in business, Xiao Shuju, Xiao Shulan, and Xiao Shuzhu all held their breath.
"How’s the foreign exchange market?" Xiao Jianming asked.
Uncle Tang nodded, flipped open the docunt in his hand, and said, "Last night, the European and Arican markets went through the biggest adjustnt so far this year."
What does that an? Xiao Shuju felt like she couldn’t hold back any longer, risking being scolded by her father for stupidity.
Compared to her, the second and fourth sisters were undoubtedly smarter.
Xiao Shulan hesitantly spoke up, "Dad, do you think the fluctuation in the foreign exchange market is related to the Zhao Family?"
"What your sister-in-law’s mother does for a living, don’t you know?"
At this batch of words from Xiao Jianming, Xiao Shulan seed to recall so clues. She had heard that Mrs. Zhao traded in foreign exchange. But since many wealthy wives trade foreign exchange for private money, Xiao Shulan had always taken it for granted.
However, it was Xiao Shuzhu who beca sowhat excited and anxiously stepped forward, questioning her father, "Dad, are the Yang Family involved with the people who kidnapped big sister?"
What?!
The youngest and the second sister were simultaneously astonished!
"When did this happen, Dad?" Xiao Shuju asked urgently.
Xiao Shulan’s face darkened, "No wonder, last ti, when our company was in trouble, the Yang Family fled faster than anyone. If they didn’t know that Changda was facing a truly formidable enemy and crisis, why would they with their enormous power run so quickly? Without so collusion or being completely uninford, it doesn’t make sense."
That was only natural. SUNV is foreign-owned, and for foreign investnts to enter tightly regulated dostic markets and involve dostic companies, approval from certain departnts is absolutely necessary. If SUNV intended to acquire Changda entirely, regardless of where Changda was listed, it’s undeniable that Changda’s ho base is in China, and they would have to be regulated and monitored by dostic departnts. In other words, it’s impossible for the Chinese governnt to just watch idly as a dostic company is ddled with like this.
Xiao Jianming’s social connections were also quite good in the dostic business circle. That they could be outsmarted by soone playing such a ga, while claiming it’s the market economy and the governnt can’t manage it, this is certainly not enough to completely cover up the truth.
There isn’t anyone who would turn a blind eye or tolerate it—unless the other party had first communicated with so relationships, right? Not to ntion that the eldest miss of the Xiao Family was kidnapped in China while Lin Jiale died on the spot from a hit-and-run and the culprit is still at large.
Recalling these events, Xiao Shulan, Xiao Shuju, and Xiao Shuzhu all broke out in cold sweats.
When exactly did Xiao Jianming start to suspect the Yang Family of this connection?
All they knew was that sothing had happened to Mrs. Yang, and she didn’t dare to return to China, hurriedly taking her daughter to the United States to avoid trouble.
Upon returning ho, she was, of course, scolded by her husband for being foolish.
Mrs. Yang didn’t dare to utter a word.
The business loss was truly significant, and it could only be said that Gu Nuan was far more terrifying than she had originally imagined.
