What age are you in, and you’re still a traditional villain?

Chapter 503

Ten minutes had passed since Cao Jinyan called.

During these fifteen minutes, the fat woman and the bald man were extremely nervous. It was because Cao Jinyan was too confident when he said that on the phone. Both of them felt that his background was not to be feared by the Carlos family and the Norman family.

But fifteen minutes passed and nothing happened. Then both of them realized that they had been cheated!
"Boy, you even dare to lie to us. I think you have no sincerity at all."

The bald man slammed the table, tugged at the blue tie on his chest, and turned to look at Bai Ruoxi: "Boss Bai, if this is the attitude that the Bai Group wants to express, then I can tell you responsibly that in the future in the cosmetics industry, there will be no Lan Dai Group if there is Bai Group, and there will be no Bai Group if there is Lan Dai Group. What can your Bai Group have to compete with Lan Dai?"

The obese woman said angrily, "Why waste your time talking to them? They are lowly Orientals. If they provoke our two families, they will be against all cosmetics companies in the world. Don't even think about selling Bai's cosmetics internationally in the future."

Now all cosmetic products sold by Tianxianshui and Bai's Group have been removed from overseas counters, and even their overseas stores have been closed by local authorities.

"Not only abroad, but also in Daxia, Bai's cosmetics will never be able to make a breakthrough in the future." The bald man pulled his tie with a smile: "Boss Bai, it's not a good habit to eat alone. Your Daxia cosmetics companies have long been dissatisfied with Bai's. When we leave this building today, all the products in Bai's counters in Daxia will be removed from the shelves."

Hearing this, Bai Ruoxi's face changed drastically.

If the products are only taken off the shelves in overseas counters, the worst that can happen is that the company will have to give up the overseas market. However, if domestic counters and specialty stores are also targeted, then Bai’s will be in real danger.

No matter how overseas developments occur, the domestic market will always be Bai's base.

But it is not the case that Bai's is the only dominant company in China. To be honest, Bai's is not even among the top ten cosmetics companies in Daxia.

In the past, the Bai Group had not even expanded beyond Gusu. It was only after Bai Ruoxi took over that the Bai Group entered a period of rapid development. However, the time was still too short. Although the scale had expanded and several cosmetics products with good market response were launched, the base was too small and the popularity could not be increased.

It was only this time that the Tianxian Water brought Bai's products into the public eye. Bai's promotion of the Tianxian Water was that it did not add any chemical elements. In fact, the Tianxian Water did not add any chemical elements, and the ingredient list was full of plant essences, which was as clean as it could be.

Although the ingredient list was clean, the effect was surprisingly good, which made Tianxian Water famous all of a sudden. It became an instant hit and almost caused Bai's production line to collapse.

"Boss Bai, we at Lan Dai came here with sincerity, but I didn't expect that the Bai Group was so insincere." The bald man shook his head with regret: "In fact, I admire Boss Bai very much. In just a few years, he has developed the Bai Group from an unknown small company to its current level. To be honest, I don't want to see the Bai Group go bankrupt, and the Lan Dai Group doesn't want to see it either."

He straightened his sitting posture, tugged at his blue tie, and said seriously, "Boss Bai, our boss can't bear to see the Bai Group go bankrupt, nor does he want to see Boss Bai's hard work go to waste. My boss wants to acquire the Bai Group in full. Boss Bai, don't worry, Bai will only develop better after being acquired by Lan Dai, and will move to a bigger stage."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of contracts from his black bag and placed them on the desktop of the conference table. The bald man pointed at the contracts and said, "Boss Bai, as long as you sign, the crisis of the Bai Group can be solved instantly."

The bald man's actions made Bai Ruoxi unable to do anything.

Aren’t you here to target the Bai family?
How come in the blink of an eye, it turned into an acquisition of Bai Group?
Before Bai Ruoxi could say anything, the obese woman sitting opposite the bald man said, "What do you mean by the Lauder Group?"

The bald man said, "It's true that my boss couldn't bear to see the Bai Group go bankrupt, but it's also true that Boss Bai broke the rules of the world's cosmetics industry. So my boss came up with a compromise solution, acquiring the Bai Group in full and making it a part of Lauder. It's Boss Bai who broke the rules, not the Bai Group, so this matter is perfectly resolved."

"I'll take care of your uncle perfectly." The fat woman had noble black blood flowing in her body, and the gene of tyranny was flowing in her body. Her temper could easily explode: "Old devil, it was you, Lauder, who went back on your word and breached the contract first, so don't blame me for attacking my ally."

The bald man frowned. "What ally? I don't understand what you are talking about. We, Lauder, came to discuss business with Mr. Bai with sincerity."

Pooh!
Talking about business?
Talk about your sister's business.

The obese woman was about to curse, but after glancing at the pile of contracts in front of the bald man, she bit back the curse words that were on the tip of her tongue and immediately took out a pile of contracts from her bag: "Boss Bai, the people of the Lauder Group are not good people, they are a bunch of hypocrites. If you cooperate with them, you have to worry about being stabbed in the back one day. If you want to be acquired, Boss Bai, you should choose our Oliya Group. We can give what Lauder can give, and we can also give what Lauder can't give."

Seeing the fat woman also took out a stack of contracts, the bald man's eyes jumped suddenly, and he thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had made preparations in advance, otherwise he would really be cheated by Ou Liya's people.

Neither, nor... he actually prepared the contract in advance.

Pooh!
shameless.

He turned his head to look at Bai Ruoxi and said, "Boss Bai, the Bai Group can only develop better if it is handed over to us, Lan Dai."

The obese woman immediately said, "Bullshit, the Oliya Group can bring the best development to the Bai family. Our Oliya Group is very powerful, and our Oliya Group's cosmetics market share is higher than that of Lauder."

The bald man sneered: "We are of pure blood."

The fat woman and most of the representatives of the Ouliya Group immediately blushed.

Now Bai Ruoxi was really confused. Why did it feel like Ouliya and Lan Dai’s people were going to fight first?

Cao Jinyan looked thoughtfully at the representative teams of the two groups who were fighting each other. The fox's tail was finally exposed. Targeting the Bai Group was fake, and the acquisition of the Bai Group was also fake. The real purpose of the two groups was the formula of Tianxian Water.

……

Gaul.

Little Paris, a manor in the suburbs.

The ancestral home of the Carlos family is a building full of Renaissance style. At this moment, the manor is brightly lit. Various luxury cars are coming from afar and parked in the front garden of the manor. The people in the luxury cars get off in a hurry and walk quickly into the ancient villa in the center of the manor.

The windows of the villa were covered with thick velvet curtains, so no one outside could see what was going on inside the villa, and even light could not penetrate in.

At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in the lobby on the first floor of the villa. They were all core members of the Carlos Family. After receiving the call from the old man of the family, they crawled out of bed and came here.

One of the burly men sitting on the sofa asked, "Why did Third Grandpa ask us to come here?"

He had just checked into a hotel this morning to discuss biological knowledge with a female internet celebrity who had become somewhat popular recently. The initial part of the interaction had just ended, and they were about to move on to the part of undressing, when the old man called.

Even if you have a huge erection, you still have to put on your pants and leave.

"I don't know, but since Third Grandpa woke us up so early, he must have something important to announce." A middle-aged man said. Seven o'clock in the morning was really early for people like them, and even those working people couldn't get up so early.

"What could be the matter?" A young man who just came in had dyed black hair. Yes, it was dyed. The young man's original hair was yellow, but he thought black hair was the trend, so he dyed his hair black.

The young man came in and pulled a chair to sit down: "I think grandpa is old, he has nothing to do so he would make trouble for others. I was sleeping well at home, but he had to wake me up so early in the morning."

Everyone ignored the young man and no one spoke to him. The young man was the most beloved grandson of the current patriarch of the Carlos Family. He was used to running rampant in Gaul and looked down on everyone. He always felt that he was the best in the world except Jesus.

At this time, a middle-aged man pushed the door open. After the middle-aged man came in, everyone in the room stood up and greeted him, because the middle-aged man was the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Carlos Family and the next patriarch. He was called the Young Master outside.

Not long after the middle-aged man came in, an old man came down the elevator from the second floor on crutches. Two young girls in their twenties were supporting him and helping him sit on the sofa.

After the old man sat down, the black-haired young man immediately complained: "Grandpa, what happened? You had to wake me up so early in the morning. I was sleeping soundly!"

Everyone looked at the old man.

After the old man sat down, he glanced at everyone and slowly said, "Who is causing trouble outside again?"

The old man's words stumped everyone in the room. They all stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Dad, is this a mistake?"

Tom Carlos, the middle-aged man and the old man's eldest son, said that at this moment he couldn't help but wonder if the old man's brain was really broken, otherwise why would he ask such a question.

Even if someone caused trouble outside, who could ask the Carlos family to settle the score? Besides, there was no need to wake everyone up early in the morning!

The black-haired young man didn't care: "Who are you? If you are causing trouble, just stand up."

Dozens of people in the villa looked at each other. There were a few troublemakers in the younger generation of the family, but it was not worth it to make trouble for all the family members.

Not guilty.

"No one admits it, right?"

The old man closed his eyes in disappointment, and opened them a few minutes later: "Just now, someone from Sanofi Group came over and told me that the cooperation between Sanofi Group and the Carlos family has been suspended."

"what?"

Everyone in the room was shocked. They had been preparing for several months to cooperate with Sanofi Group. They paid a huge price to be able to establish contact with Sanofi Group.

"Uncle San, what's going on?"

"Yes, we met with people from Sanofi yesterday and agreed on the date for signing the contract. How come Sanofi went back on its word after just one night?"

"What did Kevin say? He has taken a lot of benefits from us. Is he planning to burn his bridges?"

"Fuck! Sanofi Group doesn't treat our Carlos family as human beings. They were all fine yesterday, but now they say they don't want to cooperate? Are they making fun of us?"

Everyone was very angry. They knew what it meant to cooperate with Sanofi Group. Biopharmaceuticals were the key development direction for the Carlos family in the future.

Tom Carlos frowned and said, "Father, did Sanofi tell you the reason?"

The old man who had been in charge of the Carlos Family for decades suddenly looked extremely old at this moment, and his wrinkled face was very solemn: "The people from Sanofi Group said that it was the group's major shareholder who personally came forward to stop the cooperation with Germany, and asked us to think carefully about who we had offended recently."

After a pause, the old man sighed and said, "It's not just Sanofi Group. Most of the companies that have cooperated with several companies under our Carlos family have proposed to terminate the contract with us. Even many suppliers would rather breach the contract than terminate the contract with us."

This news was even more shocking to them than when Benzenofi called off the cooperation.

Cooperation with Sanofi Group is for the future, but other companies are the foundation of the Carlos family. It is not easy to make those companies that have cooperated with them for more than ten years prefer to breach the contract and terminate the contract with them.

Not only is the future of the Carlos Family gone, but now the very foundation of the Carlos Family is about to be uprooted.

Tom Carlos frowned and said, "Father, the other party is coming for our Carlos family. They want to wipe out our Carlos family!"

The other members of the Carlos Family all looked panicked. Everyone was wondering whether they had provoked any scary big shots. But after thinking for a long time, they still couldn't figure out who they had provoked.

"Impossible. Who would provoke such a terrifying person? He is going to push us into a dead end."

"The major shareholder of Sanofi Group personally called for a halt. I remember that the major shareholder of Sanofi Group is Cao Wenqian. How dare that woman target our Carlos Family like this? Damn it!"

"None of us messed with that woman."

"I haven't even met her."

Everyone in the room said all kinds of things, but without exception, no one provoked Cao Wen Qian. Although they were proud, they knew who they could provoke and who they could not provoke.

The old man slammed his cane on the floor, and after everyone was quiet, he said, "Except for the Olivia Group, all the companies of the Carlos family have received termination notices from their partners."

He looked at his eldest son and said, "I want to know if the Oliya Group has offended anyone it shouldn't have."

Only the Oliya Group is left unscathed. This is not an omission, but a hint.
