Chapter 425
“Forget about e–commerce apps, I’ve never seen any company launch software that goes viral like GrabCheap,” someone said.
“Aubree is just insane, another person chimed in. “She already shook up the live–streaming and short video industries before, and TOW she’s
‘s managed to carve out a whole new world in the e–commerce market, which everyone thought was a dead end. Is she a superwoman?”
“The real joke is Tengu Gruppe, right?” someone else added. “Back when Bree Technology was raising their first round for GrabCheap, they wanted to team up with Tengu Gruppe to break into the market. However, Morhan didn’t want to take sides with the Wilson Group, so Bree Technology ultimately partnered with Poison instead. Now, Poison’s profits have increased by a few points thanks to the GrabCheap boom. I’d feel like dying if I were Morhan.”
Morhan was so frustrated that he honestly wanted to bang his head against the wall. He didn’t even dare to calculate how much profit he would’ve made if he’d invested in GrabCheap.
Because of his decision–making blunder, the company’s top management had started to question him, and there were even whispers about replacing him.
He was grinding his teeth so hard he thought they might crack.
However, that wasn’t even the worst of it. He’d clashed with Aubree so many times that he’d completely alienated everyone in Bree Technology. Now, Aubree and he were mortal enemies. Neither of them would back down until one of them was finished.
As soon as GrabCheap went public, their first move was to muscle in on Tengu Gruppe’s turf. Unlike the Wilson Group, which had its hands in all sorts of industries and could make up losses elsewhere, Tengu Gruppe’s entire business empire was built. around e–commerce. If they got pushed out of the market, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Morhan was livid with frustration as he finally got Ronald in line after calling several times. “Ronald, I followed your lead and teamed up with you to go after Bree Technology, but they came out unscathed and went public just fine. Is this how the Wilson Group handles things?”
Ronald hadn’t expected Aubree to be so capable and forward–thinking. Right from the start, Aubree’d set her sights on the overseas market and decisively chose to take the company public abroad. No matter how much power he had, there was no way his influence could reach that far to completely block Aubree’s listing.
Getting them to wrap up the whole listing process by mid–May was already the absolute limit of what he could pull off.
“None of us thought she’d have that kind of guts, Ronald admitted.
“That’s not what I want to hear,” Morhan snapped. “All I care about is what you’re
e to do about my losses!”
Ronald, who was usually calm as a rock, was getting fired up now. “Business is always a gamble, isn’t it? You only teamed up with us because you thought the Wilson Group could give you more than Aubree ever could. So why are you crying foul now? Don’t act all high and mighty. Nobody’s buying it, Mr. Dunn!”
Morhan was fuming. If the Wilson Group hadn’t butted in back then, he would’ve teamed up with GrabCheap, and he’d be counting his money with the rest of them right now. Of course, he blamed Wilson Group, Who else was he supposed to
blame?
It was all because Ronald was so useless. He couldn’t even keep his daughter in check!
“Well, if you think I brought this on myself, Mr. Wilson, maybe you shouldn’t have been so desperate to beg me for help in the first place.
The Wilson Group might be powerful, but Tengu Gruppe is still a force to be reckoned with in Südlichen Strand’s business world. If we went to war, it wouldn’t be a walk in the park for the Wilson Group either, thought Morhan.
Ronald forced himself to calm down. At a time like that, making an enemy out of Tengu Gruppe wasn’t worth it.
He cased his tone. “This isn’t the outcome we wanted, but I’ll get back to you. We’ve started making moves against Aubree.”
“The Wilson Group has no intention of letting a rival rise up, Ronald added.
