During the three days of the World Internet Conference, Xu Mo did not leave as expected.
Xu Wanting indeed kept an eye on Lu Xiangru and her daughter, which Xu Mo noticed.
It was quite amusing.
Lu Xiangru and her daughter were going to meet Xu Deming again, likely at Lu Hongluan’s request, so Xu Deming stayed put.
After the conference ended, Xu Deming found an excuse to meet Lu Xiangru and her daughter. He took them around and bought some small gifts and clothes for Lu Hongluan.
Initially, Xu Mo had decided not to get involved in this affair and just watch the show.
But upon reflection, he decided to meet Lu Hongluan once.
Without a doubt, Xie Bingyan would definitely tear into Xu Deming. Since the girl had a congenital heart disease, Xu Mo didn’t want anything bad to happen to her, so he wanted to assure her safety first.
Even though he was using this situation to his advantage, he still had a conscience.
So, after meeting Lu Hongluan, Xu Mo began to discuss matters concerning the Xu family.
“Xu’s family also has an adopted son, around my age, who is very favored and still with the Xu family!”
“Xu Deming’s wife is named Xie Bingyan. She’s probably on her way here. You have six other sisters, and one of them, the eldest, has been keeping an eye on you these days!”
“You should understand your mother’s identity. Right now, Xie Bingyan will definitely come looking for Xu Deming, possibly causing trouble for you. If anything happens, come to me! I will protect you!”
Despite being young, Lu Hongluan was already quite mature and obedient.
Upon hearing this, she was somewhat surprised: “Then, Xu Mo, what about you…?”
Xu Mo smiled, a somewhat bitter smile. “Your dad must have introduced me to you, right? You should know, whether it’s Xu Deming, Xie Bingyan, or your six half-sisters, they are all my enemies! I wish they would die sooner… As for why it’s like this, I’ll slowly explain to you in the future.”
Lu Hongluan fell silent for a moment before saying, “My, my dad said you’ve been missing for many years and grew up in an orphanage since you were little!”
“Missing? Is that how he’s putting it now?” Xu Mo chuckled again. “Did he not tell you the real reasons?”
“No!” Lu Hongluan shook her head.
“You’ll find out eventually! So, no matter what happens, whether Xie Bingyan and the others come looking for you or not, don’t be afraid! Come to me if you need to. Even if Xu Deming doesn’t support you, I will! Remember, I’m not an ordinary person, as your brother Xu Mo. I’m sure Xu Deming has already told you some things about me,” Xu Mo said.
“Yes… yes, Dad also said Brother Xu Mo is a genius, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, studied at Tsinghua University, and made a lot of money through entrepreneurship!”
Lu Hongluan’s eyes seemed to light up with admiration as she spoke, filled with reverence.
Xu Mo paused for a moment, then chuckled again.
Back when he was fourteen, he too had looked at Xu Wanting, Xu Xuehui, and others with eyes like that, didn’t he? Elevated, always a genius from childhood to adulthood, exuding an air of nobility that made people unable to help but admire.
He still remembered the shock he felt the first time he saw Xu Wanting’s awards, photos, and achievements on the living room wall, thinking there couldn’t possibly be anyone more outstanding in the world.
So, back then, he had desperately wanted to get close to Xu Wanting, crazily wanted to learn from her. But how could he have known that people’s hearts are unpredictable and the sea of human emotions immeasurable?
By the time he achieved the same accomplishments and stature as Xu Wanting, Xu Mo’s gaze towards them had completely changed.
They’re just a bunch of dogs and pigs anyway!
“I’m not some kind of genius! I’m just an ordinary person. But there are things I need to clarify with you.” Xu Mo handed her his business card. “My phone number is on here. If anything happens, make sure to call me, okay?” he instructed.
“Yes… yes!” The girl blushed slightly, looking cute and shy, her big eyes darting around in a lively and amusing manner.
Xu Mo had a meal with her, then took her to play around in the mall for a while before finally sending her home.
“Xu Mo!” Gu Huanxi emerged just after seeing Lu Hongluan off, looking slightly concerned.
Xu Mo smiled. “It’s okay! I know what I’m doing!”
“That’s good to hear!” Gu Huanxi couldn’t help but feel relieved.
…
Next, all we need to do is wait. It won’t take much time, even if Xie Bingyan doesn’t show up. She’ll find out what she needs to know.
This time, Xu Mo must rub salt into her wounds!
“Let’s push the company a bit more! We can’t stop now! Coming to the Internet Conference this time was actually a mistake! Jingdong Group and Ali Group have already noticed our presence and started to take our model seriously!”
Xu Mo walked and talked with Gu Huanxi.
“Originally, according to my plan, we needed to continue developing quietly for a while longer, focusing on aggressive growth! The capital market didn’t favor us, which gave us a great opportunity. But now, we’ve already been exposed enough!”
Xu Mo slowly began, “We need to redesign our strategy and reconnect the supply chain.”
“Reconnect the supply chain?” Gu Huanxi looked surprised. “How do we reconnect it?”
“I just received some information. In Yiwu, there are many warehouses of small commodity manufacturers, stocked with products that can’t be sold. These products were originally meant to be sold on Jingdong and Tabao, but due to pricing and promotional issues, a lot of inventory has piled up. Our next move is to help these manufacturers clear their stock. All we need to do is offer slightly lower prices,” Xu Mo explained.
“They willing to do it?” Gu Huanxi asked.
“Of course! Their goods sitting in warehouses will deteriorate and incur losses anyway. It’s better to sell them at a small profit than let them go to waste. Besides, we’ll only be trimming our margins a bit to ensure they don’t incur losses. Moving forward, our focus needs to be on further penetrating and reaching down to rural areas!” Xu Mo explained.
Gu Huanxi pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat impressed.
They had also attended the World Internet Conference, but hadn’t spotted as many opportunities. Xu Mo, on the other hand, had attended and discovered numerous business opportunities.
One had to admit, this man was truly remarkable.
“I’ll talk to Tang Lei. The business department will start engaging with the rural markets directly, contacting manufacturers without unnecessary intermediaries to minimize costs.”
“Good!”
…
Meanwhile, Xu Wanting received a set of photos from her secretary.
It was precisely a photo of Xu Mo dining with Lu Hongluan at the restaurant.
Their relationship appeared very intimate, resembling that of true siblings, without much awkwardness.
Upon seeing the photos, Xu Wanting furrowed her brow.
“What is Xu Mo… doing?” she muttered to herself.
An uneasy feeling crept into Xu Wanting’s heart.
Considering how Xu Mo had dealt with the situation involving Deverna and Junzhe’s bike Sharing, Xu Mo seemed to have become somewhat formidable.
Logically, he shouldn’t be casually dining with Lu Hongluan like this. His actions now clearly hinted at brewing something ominous.
At this point, Xu Wanting no longer dared to underestimate her own blood brother.
He casually knocked Deverna to the ground, effortlessly bankrupted Junzhe’s shared electric bike venture, and effortlessly earned billions.
In terms of vision, tactics, and execution, he excelled in every aspect.
Such a person, once he gets serious about something, tends to be extremely formidable.
Before, when he lacked power, he only boasted. Now that he no longer boasts, Xu Wanting finds him genuinely terrifying.
As the saying goes, a barking dog seldom bites!
He might be brewing some masterstroke, aiming to completely disrupt the Xu family.
Xu Wanting felt a chill in her heart. After thinking it over, she called Xu Shuying, only to find that Xu Shuying’s phone was unreachable.
It seemed she was already on a plane!
