From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 124: A New Path: Encountering Difficulties Again

The news brought by Captain Li undoubtedly made the situation worse.

It turned out that the news had already spread among the local chamber of commerce. Several companies that had originally had ambiguous attitudes and were interested in cooperating with the Mo family have now changed their minds and said they would "wait and see."

The locals' xenophobic sentiment is more serious than imagined.

Boss Zhang, the owner of a large local food processing factory, had been envious of the Mo family's advanced technology and had already reached the stage of signing a contract. However, he has now put the cooperation on hold indefinitely on the grounds that "the market is fluctuating greatly and a reassessment is needed."

What is even more annoying is that Elder Wang, a veteran of the local Chamber of Commerce, actually publicly stated that if foreign companies want to get a piece of the local pie, they must abide by local "rules."

Everyone knows what this "rule" is. It is nothing more than an attempt to make a lot of money from the Mo family.

Wen Nuan rubbed her brows, a feeling of fatigue rising in her heart.

But she quickly pulled herself together and gathered her team members, including the experienced Captain Li, the shrewd translator Zhao, and several other key members.

"I know the situation is very difficult right now," Wen Nuan said firmly, looking around at everyone. "But we're not here to back down. The Mo family chose this place because they saw its potential and believe in our ability to overcome difficulties."

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.

Translator Zhao stammered as he explained the hidden meaning in Elder Wang's words, his face looking somewhat grim.

Although he had some understanding of the local culture, the unspoken rules of the business world still made him feel at a loss.

Captain Li frowned and shook his head, thinking that a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake, and suggested avoiding the dragon's edge first and taking things slowly.

Wen Nuan had other ideas.

She pulled up a case study of a successful collaboration and pointed to a smaller company. "They were initially hostile, but we provided technical support and helped them improve their product quality, ultimately leading to a partnership. Now, their sales have doubled, and they've become a leader in the local market." A warm look gleamed with confidence. "We can use the same approach to convince those companies that are still on the fence. We need to show them that partnering with the Mo family is mutually beneficial."

She listed the preliminary plans one by one, making detailed plans for every link from technology sharing to talent training to market promotion.

She believes that as long as she shows enough sincerity, she will be able to break down barriers and win the trust of her partners.

"I think..." Captain Li hesitated and looked at Wen Nuan with a serious expression.

Captain Li cleared his throat, his tone hesitant. "Wen Nuan, your plan is certainly good, but I think it's a bit radical. Especially when it comes to technology sharing. What if..." He paused, as if weighing his words, "What if the technology is leaked? It would be a huge loss for us. Also, free talent training is too expensive. We..."

Wen Nuan interrupted him, her tone firm: "Captain Li, I understand your concerns, but we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Technology sharing can be done under confidentiality agreements, and talent development can be carried out in phases to control risks. We must be more decisive to win this competition."

Captain Li still frowned, obviously not convinced.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense, and the other team members looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Translator Zhao's face turned even paler. He thought of the despicable tactics that his opponent Sun had used before, and felt even more uneasy.

When Mo Han pushed open the office door, he saw such a tense scene.

He walked straight to Wen Nuan, gently held her hand, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

Wen Nuan forced a smile: "It's okay, just some minor problems."

Mo Han didn't ask any further questions, but took her out of the depressing meeting room and drove to the beach.

The sea breeze gently brushed across my face, the salty smell mixed with a hint of sweetness.

Mo Han embraced Wen Nuan and whispered in her ear, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'll take care of everything."

Leaning against his chest warmly, listening to his strong heartbeat, her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

She raised her head, looked into Mo Han's deep eyes, and said softly, "I just don't want to disappoint you."

Mo Han smiled softly, running his fingertips through her soft hair: "You've done well enough. Remember, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

A touch of emotion flashed in Wen Nuan's eyes, and she held Mo Han's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm.

As the sun sets, the sea sparkles and everything seems so quiet and beautiful.

Suddenly, Mo Han's phone vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID, his expression changing slightly. He said to Wen Nuan, "I'll take a call." He walked aside, said a few words in a low voice, then hung up the phone and turned back to Wen Nuan, a subtle solemnity in his eyes...

"We need to go back." After Wen Nuan and Mo Han returned to the company, they immediately gathered the team members.

The news that Mo Han brought was not optimistic: Sun's opponent secretly contacted several large companies that were on the sidelines about cooperating with the Mo family, and promised to give them more favorable conditions in order to prevent them from cooperating with the Mo family.

The atmosphere in the conference room became solemn again, and Captain Li's face turned pale. His previous worries seemed to be becoming a reality step by step.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

Mo Han's appearance gave her great encouragement and made her re-examine her plan.

She realized that instead of dispersing her energy on those shaky large companies, it would be better to concentrate her efforts on conquering those smaller companies with greater development potential.

It may be a more effective path to start with a small investment and achieve a big return, gradually build a good reputation, and eventually influence those large companies that are waiting on the sidelines.

She shared her ideas with her team members and made adjustments to the original plan.

She targeted several small but innovative companies in their respective fields and developed more targeted cooperation plans.

Although Captain Li still had doubts, seeing the warm and determined look in her eyes, he chose to support her decision.

In the next few days, Wen Nuan led the team to travel non-stop between various companies.

They no longer emphasize the Mo family's strong strength, but instead focus on technological exchanges and win-win cooperation.

They sincerely share experiences, provide technical support, and help these small businesses solve practical problems.

The warm sincerity and professionalism have won the respect and trust of these small business owners, and several companies have expressed their willingness to carry out deeper cooperation with the Mo family.

The news quickly spread in the local business community, and those large companies that had originally been on the sidelines about the Mo family began to re-examine them.

Boss Zhang, the owner of the food processing factory who had previously refused to cooperate with the Mo family on the grounds of "market fluctuations", took the initiative to contact Wen Nuan and expressed his hope to renegotiate the cooperation matters.

Just when Wen Nuan thought everything was going in the right direction, Elder Wang suddenly visited the Mo family company...

With a meaningful smile on his face, he slowly said, "Wen Nuan, I heard you've been doing well recently..."

Elder Wang twisted the teacup in his hand, savoring the fragrant tea in the cup carefully, but his eyes were always on Wen Nuan, with a hint of scrutiny.

"Wen Nuan, I heard you've been doing well lately. Several small businesses have signed cooperation agreements with you. It's good for young people to be bold, but they should also be careful not to disrupt the market balance here."

Wen Nuan's expression remained unchanged as she politely responded, "Elder Wang, our Mo family has always emphasized win-win cooperation. Our collaboration with these small businesses is also for mutual development and to enhance the vitality of the entire market."

Elder Wang put down his teacup and smiled meaningfully. "That being said, some established companies have deep roots. If you move too quickly, it's bound to make them uneasy. Young people, you need to take things step by step. Taking big steps can easily lead to setbacks."

The pressure brought by Elder Wang is more difficult than the previous obstacles.

He was not completely opposed to the development of the Mo family, but hoped that the Mo family could "integrate" into the local area and develop at their pace.

This means that Wen Nuan’s previous rapid expansion strategy needs to be adjusted.

That night, Wen Nuan and Mo Han talked all night long.

Mo Han analyzed Elder Wang's intentions. He believed that Elder Wang was not obstructing the business maliciously, but was motivated by the need to maintain the balance of the local business ecosystem.

Wen Nuan also understood this truth, but she was unwilling to slow down.

She firmly believes that the advanced technology and management concepts brought by the Mo family can inject new vitality into the local market rather than disrupt the balance.

After careful consideration, Wen Nuan decided to adjust her strategy.

She set her sights on small businesses that have complementary relationships with local established enterprises. Through cooperation with these small businesses, she gradually established a healthy industrial chain, ultimately driving the common development of the entire market.

The next day, Wen Nuan visited Elder Wang again and elaborated on her new strategy.

After hearing this, Elder Wang pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Your idea is good, but you need to be more cautious in implementing it. Especially when it comes to relationships with those established companies, you need to pay special attention."

Wen Nuan nodded solemnly. "Elder Wang, I understand what you mean. We will respect local business rules, maintain good communication with all companies, and jointly promote the development of the local market."

Elder Wang looked at the warm and resolute eyes and smiled approvingly: "Well, it's a good thing for young people to have ideas. I hope you can do what you say."

After seeing off Elder Wang, Wen Nuan immediately gathered the team members and conveyed the new strategy.

Although Captain Li still had doubts about the implementation of the new strategy, seeing Wen Nuan's confidence, he chose to fully support it.

In the next few days, Wen Nuan led the team to travel between various companies again.

They no longer simply emphasize technical cooperation, but pay more attention to communicating with local companies, understanding their needs and concerns, and actively seeking points of cooperation.

Just when Wen Nuan thought the new strategy was about to work, a sudden piece of news broke the brief peace...

The secretary hurried into the office and said to Wen Nuan with a pale face, "Wu Nuan, something happened! Sun Dui... "
