Signed To The Hundred Billion Group

Chapter 349 The Storm Appears Suddenly

The cornucopia hit the iron while it was hot and directly filed a lawsuit!

The acceptance by the court was also a green light, and all preparations were quickly completed, and then an anti-monopoly investigation team was established to initiate a comprehensive investigation of Amazon!

Its speed is jaw-dropping, as if it had been prepared.

So when the Cornucopia official issued an announcement to inform all netizens, it really surprised everyone!

After Amazon Asia Pacific headquarters received the court’s subpoena, the executives were also taken aback.

“This…this is simply unreasonable! How can they open a case so easily!”

Wilson looked at the summons in front of him and patted the table angrily!

Anti-monopoly investigations are not a joke. For a large international company, it is very likely to be fatal.

Once convicted of this crime, he will face a huge fine, and even the person in charge is at risk of imprisonment.

Therefore, generally speaking, there will be a long investigation period, and sufficient materials must be prepared to initiate an investigation.

But they started to choose one of the two cornucopia, less than a month has passed, how did this investigation come so quickly?

Sales director Nick Zhang is a native of Xiangcheng. When he saw Wilson who was puzzled, he frowned and gave his opinion.

“Mr. Wilson, there is one thing you may not know. The establishment of Cornucopia is an official background.”

As soon as he said this, Wilson’s eyes suddenly became sharp.

“This is impossible. I have never heard that its parent company, Shengshi Group, has state-owned shares.”

Nick spread his hands: “It is true, but as far as I know, Tianhai City officials openly support the cornucopia. And their ability to get an unsecured loan of 60 billion from Huamin Bank fully illustrates the problem!”

This news was something that Wilson hadn’t paid attention to before.

He only knows that Shengshi Group is a sole proprietorship enterprise with a market value of over 100 billion yuan. If it goes public, it will be around 500 billion yuan.

“You mean that this time we are not only facing a Shengshi Group, but also the official power behind it?”

Wilson frowned and asked.

“Anywhere, there is geo-protection for local companies. This is not surprising!”

Nick spread out his hands.

“But when we entered the China market, they were welcome with their hands. If we could deal with us, why didn’t we take a shot when we were competing with local companies? I believe they will still abide by the rules of the business game.”

Wilson shook his head, not believing in evil.

“Unless they want all foreign companies in China to withdraw from this area!”

Nick crossed his hands and looked helplessly at Wilson, an old stubborn one.

After all, he is a bit old, his thinking is not as flexible as before, or perhaps he has become pretentious because of his old age.

“You have to understand, Mr. Wilson.”

Nick Zhang said frankly: “The reason why Amazon was introduced at the beginning was because their internal e-commerce companies were not standardized and the market was not sound. So Amazon was introduced to stimulate local companies! But then I didn’t expect the local e-commerce companies to be too much. It’s so bad that we beat them all!”

“But now, the cornucopia is different. Its growth rate and growth model are very amazing. In just a few months, it has occupied the entire Jiangnan Province market. If it continues at this speed, it will only be on a national scale. A matter of time.”

“So at this time, in the eyes of officials, our Amazon dominance is something that cannot be tolerated.”

After listening to Nick Zhang’s words, Wilson also thought about it for a while.

“Then, what do you think should be done? Could it be that we just give up the market that we have worked so hard to win to others?”

Nick Zhang pondered for a while and gave his own suggestions.

“I think we can cooperate with Cornucopia. Make them part of our Amazon!”

Thomson on the side suddenly spoke at this moment.

“Will they agree to the plan you mentioned?”

Nick Zhang laughed and said: “Of course they will agree! Because Amazon owns the world’s market. We only have to propose a controlling stake and become their shareholder. Then they are given the condition that they can expand overseas markets. This is a win-win thing, and they will definitely agree. !”

Nick Zhang’s idea is very good, that is, taking advantage of the fact that the cornucopia is still very weak, using large capital and huge overseas markets as bait to propose a shareholding.

Generally speaking, few companies can withstand this temptation.

However, Wilson became dissatisfied when he heard this plan.

“This is ridiculous!”

He tapped hard on the table with his thick fingers, “According to you, we not only need to invest money in them. Should we also support them in going overseas to divide up our resources? This is nothing short of raising a tiger!”

Nick Zhang calmly reminded: “With the economic development of various countries, there will be a cornucopia in every country at that time. In the face of geological protection, we cannot always dominate all regions! So the best way is to do so. Cooperate with local companies.”

“Absolutely impossible!”

Wilson said loudly: “Even if it is a cooperation, it must be a large enterprise with sufficient qualifications! Their scale, as long as we work harder, can be defeated! There is no need for peace talks!”

Nick Zhang sighed helplessly.

“But behind them is the official power. Do we really want to fight?”

Wilson’s face showed an extremely arrogant look.

“Let them check it out! Anyway, they can’t find any substantive evidence to prove that we have monopolistic behavior. If they dare to frame the frame at will, I will appeal to the Ministry of Commerce! At that time, this will be international trade. There is a dispute!”

Wilson’s attitude is very tough. Since he took this seat, he has forgotten how to compromise.

Since then, the team from the anti-monopoly investigation team also rushed to Xiangcheng at lightning speed and came directly to the headquarters to request an investigation.

Wilson didn’t expect them to come so soon.

Because the news reached them in the morning, it took less than two hours, and the people were killed!

“This… this was premeditated!”

Wilson was surprised.

By the time the news from the court arrived, the investigative team members were already on the road.

“Please give a notice immediately, and we will conduct a full investigation of all departments!”

The head of the investigation team wore a cold black suit and said to Wilson unsmilingly.

Subsequently, a large number of investigators rushed into the customer service department and directly began to copy all the information in the case, including chat records.

Wilson gritted his teeth and didn’t panic in his heart.

“Fortunately, we have cleaned up all relevant materials, and now we find some chat records at most. But we can all quibble and say that it is the personal behavior of customer service. Humph! Even if you know that we instructed, what can you do?”
