Chapter 1000: Conflict of Interests in the Imperial Capital
Dong Yuejun was confused and quickly followed Ye Fan, asking anxiously: "Tell me, what happened?"
Li Ruoxin heard the sound and came out of the room. Seeing Ye Fan going out, she was surprised and said: "Brother Ye, where are you going?"
"Something happened at the Imperial City branch. Lei Jun and the others were beaten." Ye Fan said in a deep voice: "Xiao Li, please contact Xiaojuan and the others about this matter and suppress the matter so that Bingbing doesn't know about it.
She's going to give birth in two weeks, so she can't be frightened."
"Mr. Lei was beaten?" Li Ruoxin was shocked and nodded in understanding: "I understand, I'll go to the main store right now."
It doesn't matter if Lei Jun is knocked down. Ye Fan is gone. As long as Lei Jun and the others can breathe, they can be saved.
It's just that the branch being smashed is more difficult, and the news will definitely come back soon.
Hu Bingbing is about to give birth to a baby. At the most critical time, nothing unexpected can happen!
Li Ruoxin said no more at that moment, hurried out of her ancestral home and drove to the head office.
Ye Fan was very satisfied with Li Ruoxin's attitude, and then said to Dong Yuejun: "Xiaojun, you go with Xiao Li and book the tickets for me in the car.
If something happens to the branch, I'm afraid someone is deliberately targeting our Novan. If they come to Binhai to cause trouble, you should deal with them!
But if you keep a close eye on Xiao Li, she still doesn’t strike lightly, and try not to cause any deaths!"
"Okay!" Dong Yuejun nodded and quickly chased after Li Ruoxin.
Ye Fan didn't stay long, went to the living room to say hello to his parents, and then went straight to the airport.
That afternoon, Ye Fan arrived in the imperial capital and went straight to the hospital address given by Lei Jun.
As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Lei Jun, Murong Qi, and Yuan Yin lying on the hospital bed, their faces pale, their hands and feet in plaster, and their bodies wrapped in bandages. Not to mention how miserable they looked.
In particular, Yuan Yin's bald head was wrapped in four or five thin bandages, just like mosquito coils.
The three people's faces were pale, but one of them held a cigarette in his hand, took a sip with a sly look, and then spit it out the window behind them.
Ye Fan, who was originally angry, was immediately amused.
"Hey, you three, you are quite leisurely!" Ye Fan crossed his arms and sneered: "I thought you were going to die, and rushed to the imperial capital desperately, but I didn't expect you to still have the strength to smoke!"
The three of them heard the movement at the door just now and trembled as a group. Fortunately, it was Ye Fan who came in, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn, you scared me to death!" Lei Jun threw the cigarette butt into the thermos angrily, "The little nurses here are so mean, please keep your voice down, don't attract them!"
"Well, he's in good condition. It seems he won't die." Ye Fan shook his head, walked to Lei Jun's bedside, and slapped his shoulder: "You are in good health!"
"Ouch!"
Lei Jun whined and screamed, his head covered in cold sweat from the pain.
"Ye Fan, you are seeking death!"
"You still know it hurts?" Ye Fan pretended to be surprised, "When you smoke, why don't you remember that you are hurt?"
"Nah... I'm not done with... you..." Lei Jun's face turned pale, he covered his arms and roared in a low voice.
Yuan Yin and Murong Qi quickly took two puffs of their cigarettes and stuffed them into the thermos.
"Ye Fan, you came so quickly!" Yuan Yin laughed and said, "Good brother, be loyal!"
"Telling about your sister..." Ye Fan rolled his eyes, pulled up a chair and sat down, with a serious face: "What's going on?"
"Alas, all the branches were smashed." Yuan Yin's expression dropped.
"Fortunately, we have evidence in our hands. Miss Ying'er and Lao Chen have already gone to the Public Security Bureau to handle the case, and they will get a reply soon.
This time, if those bastards don’t lose everything, my surname will not be Yuan!”
"Huh?" Ye Fan asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who did it?"
"Of course!" Yuan Yin nodded, "What the hell, this time Murong and I accompanied Lao Lei to the imperial capital specifically to negotiate with the Wang family! I didn't expect that they would dare to be so arrogant in less than two days!"
"Wang family?" Ye Fan was stunned and frowned deeply.
The Wang family in the Imperial Capital is one of the three new business tycoons in the Imperial Capital. Their family has assets of more than 600 billion, ranking among the top 15 in China!
When Ye Fan was filming "The Ancient Hero" in the imperial capital, he once met the CEO of a company owned by the Wang family and heard him talk about the origins of the Wang family.
The Wang family is one of the big business families that has only gained momentum in the past thirty years.
During China's reform and opening up in the 1980s, the control and supervision of business was relatively large in the early days, and the "Eight Kings" incident shocked the whole country.
The Wang family is one of the eight kings!
But later, as the pace of reform accelerated, the tax reform was greatly eased, the eight kings were rehabilitated, the Wang family returned to their old business, and the family business began to take off.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Wang family entered real estate and soon became the largest real estate developer in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region. The Imperial City Super Mall and its real estate investments were extremely profitable.
With the spring of "real estate", the real estate company owned by the Wang family has become a real estate giant comparable to Pictet.
It's just that Mr. Wang of Baida Company is more discerning, and the Wang family is not so courageous, so they only control the Imperial City Super Mall in the Beijing, Tianjin and Tang areas, unlike Baida Company, which covers the whole country.
However, despite this, Imperial Super Mall is still going strong. After its listing, funds accumulated rapidly and it began to reach out to all walks of life.
Moreover, all brand stores in the Imperial City Super Mall are all first-hand agents within the company, and are not for leasing or open to the public.
They firmly control all the interests in the Imperial City Super Mall and do not allow anyone or any force to get involved.
Of course, the Imperial Capital is so big, with a permanent population of 20 to 30 million, there are not just dozens of Imperial Capital super malls.
In addition, there are hundreds of small shopping malls scattered throughout the imperial capital, grabbing some small markets and eating some leftovers amidst the majesty of the Wang family.
However, since Novan entered the imperial capital, this pattern has been broken.
Due to the concentrated equity nature of Imperial Super Mall, they were determined not to cooperate with Novin. Even if Zi Ying'er came forward in person, she did not get a lease contract for a branch.
Therefore, Novan can only settle for the second best and cooperate with other small shopping malls.
After Novin opened in the small mall, Zi Ying'er's endorsement and commercial performance, as well as vigorous publicity by veteran actors, and their relatives and friends in the entertainment industry also forwarded messages to support Novin's opening.
In China, the benefits of celebrities are very scary. Under the guidance of Zi Ying'er and others, Novan has attracted a large number of fans and customers.
The beneficiaries are not only Novan, but also the owners of small shopping malls.
And many customers find that there is actually no difference between these small shopping malls and the Imperial Super Mall, even though the products are not as complete and high-end as the Imperial Super Mall.
But the vast majority of consumers are not from wealthy backgrounds, and the products in these small malls are enough to meet their needs.
The most important thing is that in order to attract customers, these small shopping malls often hold discount activities, and the discounts are not low. This is another major move to attract consumers like them.
Therefore, consumers began to go to these small malls nearby, and no longer went to the Imperial Super Mall just to show off.
Even though many people still go shopping in the Imperial Super Shopping Mall when traveling, they only choose styles and then go to these small malls to buy discounted products, which is cost-effective and decent.
The small shopping mall has a large number of customers, and the one and the other are declining, and the Imperial Super Mall has lost many customers.
This is the chain reaction caused by Novan.
At first, Imperial City Super Mall didn't take it seriously, thinking that those small malls could only bounce around for a few days and lacked stamina.
Unexpectedly, a month has passed and this situation has not changed at all.
What's even more terrible is that all the store agents of Imperial Super Mall are controlled internally by the company, which means that they have to bear all the profits and losses themselves.
Once they lose their customer base, it means their income will be greatly reduced.
With expenditures remaining unchanged, the Imperial Super Mall experienced a deficit crisis for the first time!
At this time, the management of Imperial Super Mall could not sit still, and the Wang family behind the scenes was even more restless.
The day before yesterday, the core children of the Wang family invited Lei Jun and three others to renegotiate Novan's plan to enter the Imperial City Super Mall.
However, Lei Jun and the others tasted the sweetness.
Moreover, the bosses of those small shopping malls took the initiative to renew the contract with Novin as early as half a month ago. The rent is very cheap, and many miscellaneous fees are waived, which is basically equivalent to giving it away.
Lei Jun and the other three sneered at the suggestion of the person in charge of the Wang family.
When they approached Super Mall to cooperate, you were so arrogant, how arrogant were you?
Now that the situation is not right, you are trying to lick us back. What do you think we are?
Lei Jun is self-aware and knows very well that the current embarrassing situation in the super mall cannot be alleviated by simply changing locations.
Besides, Novan's business is so good now, why should they change places?
The discussion between the two parties was unpleasant, and the person in charge of the Wang family saw that it was not going well, so he became forceful and bluntly said that foreigners like Lei Jun could not compete with the locals.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. If they continue to refuse to cooperate, they will start a business war mode.
Lei Jun and the other three said it didn't matter. They had never seen big winds and waves, so how could they be scared by you?
No big deal, just go back to Binhai!
But I didn't expect that the Wang family's so-called business war was such a despicable method!
Send people to provoke and destroy all Novan branches to create panic among customers so that they will never dare to shop in those small malls again!
Lei Jun and the others were so angry that they wanted to come to the door to reason, but they never thought that before they even got out of the door, someone else would take the blame for the Novandre Capital branch.
Lei Jun, Yuan Yin, was not a good person. He immediately led the staff to resist and repelled the first wave of idle social workers who came to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, the other party was already prepared, and more and more gangsters rushed in.
Two fists were no match for four hands, and they were quickly knocked to the ground.
Those gangsters, still not satisfied after all the beatings, broke the hands and feet of Lei Jun and the other three people in charge. Afterwards, they said, "If you don't get out of the imperial capital, I will kill you next time," and then left the company in a big way.
Lei Jun endured the injury and contacted Ye Fan immediately, and then asked Zi Ying'er and several other shareholders to bring the surveillance video to the Public Security Bureau to call the police.
At this time, Zi Ying'er and the others had not sent back any news, so Ye Fan rushed to the imperial capital.
