Chapter 276: Enjoying the Conversation
Yan Hui smiled faintly and said, "There’s no need to rush this matter. Telling Zheng Yun is the last resort. First, it’s not easy to gather evidence and it takes time. Going to court would just mean both parties quibbling. Second, the HK Group doesn’t have that much influence over me yet.
In the past two years, I have been expanding the range of company businesses. Thus, although that product is our company’s core and was the weapon that established my business, it is no longer everything to me now.
The truly valuable things can’t be stolen, like my team. She might steal the technology of one product from me, but she can’t steal my team. As long as the team is here, better products will continue to be developed."
It seemed to make some sense. It was unclear whether Yan Hui was saying this to comfort her or if it was really the case.
Wan Chu’er carefully observed Yan Hui’s expression but couldn’t detect anything.
After thinking for a bit, she said, "Mr. Yan, actually, I also looked through some information about your company this afternoon. Have you ever considered just acquiring the HK Group outright? Although the HK Group is second in the industry, there is still a big gap between you two. Since you’re competitors anyways, why not take the opportunity to acquire them now before they grow stronger? It also means one less competitor."
Acquiring a competitor is actually a common approach used by big companies.
Yan Hui looked at Wan Chu’er in surprise and smiled, "That’s not a bad idea."
Wan Chu’er thought he was joking, so she seriously said, "Mr. Yan, I’m serious. You could check the domestic and foreign big companies; they all do this, and that’s why they keep growing and nearly have no competitors."
Yan Hui nodded, "I’ll have the company assess the feasibility of acquiring HK."
