Chapter 1161 1159: Finally, the Day Has Come
Lin Xi gave it to Tang Qian!
Upon hearing Tang Qian's words, Zhang Biao's heart sank to the bottom.
He had planned for so long just to return Lin Xi's handbag to her.
He went through so many trials.
After all, it was a limited edition LV worth tens of thousands.
He could have sold it instantly for a hefty sum.
But he resisted the temptation.
After much effort, he finally met Lin Xi after over a month.
Only to get such a result.
Lin Xi had given away the handbag.
She even said something about being a germaphobe.
Anything that others had touched,
she wouldn't want anymore!
To know all this.
During this period, Zhang Biao treated this handbag as his most treasured possession.
Afraid of it being touched, scratched, or sun-damaged.
He protected it with utmost care.
Moreover, worried about dirtying the handbag, he always kept it in a bag.
Yet, he received such a result.
He was angry, he was furious.
He… was helpless.
To him.
A LV handbag worth tens of thousands was something he might never afford in his lifetime under normal circumstances.
But Lin Xi was the CEO of Yimena.
The head of a listed company.
To her, a handbag worth tens of thousands,
might be as simple as Zhang Biao going for a hotpot meal.
Zhang Biao felt an unprecedented humiliation.
He vowed that in his lifetime, he would make Lin Xi regret never giving him a glance.
Someday, he would make Lin Xi look up to his presence.
After leaving Yimena, Zhang Biao immediately resigned.
He knew that if he continued working in the business world, he would never catch up with Lin Xi in his lifetime.
He would always be ignored by Lin Xi.
After resigning, he worked at a clothing company.
At that time, the clothing company couldn't even be called a company.
It was merely a clothing processing plant.
With only a few people.
Including the boss, there were only twenty or thirty people.
Not even a processing plant.
Just a small workshop.
Zhang Biao chose such a small workshop.
For the opportunity for better development.
He knew that relying on himself, he couldn't possibly develop successfully.
So, he thought of a shortcut method.
And that was counterfeiting.
After joining the clothing company, he worked diligently and was appreciated by the boss.
Moreover, his idea of counterfeiting big brands coincidentally matched the boss's thoughts.
Thus, he was quickly entrusted with important tasks.
And the clothing company he chose to counterfeit was precisely the Yimena Group.
Sure enough, after counterfeiting and putting their product under the Yimena trademark,
sales skyrocketed.
Initially, getting distributors to sell their products faced significant resistance.
But gradually, distributors found that selling their counterfeit products was more profitable.
After all, it's the same Yimena style, although the workmanship differed, but the impact wasn't significant.
And the purchasing price was half the difference.
For instance, it costs two hundred yuan at Yimena, but only one hundred or even tens of yuan from the counterfeit company.
Cost reduction was too significant.
Some distributors couldn't resist the temptation, so they mixed a small amount of counterfeit goods with authentic ones for sale.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't discovered by consumers.
Gradually, their courage grew larger.
Increasing the proportion of counterfeit goods.
Eventually.
Some distributors simply stopped getting goods from Yimena, opting to source directly from the counterfeit company.
And so, the company grew larger and larger.
From a clothing processing plant with more than twenty people to a processing plant with a hundred people.
Then into a company.
After that, they went public.
Of course, to go public, the counterfeiting name of Yimena was changed to Yiyang Group.
Simultaneously, they started slowly having some original works of their own.
However, they continued massively counterfeiting Yimena's styles.
Just no longer completely replicating.
Instead, they made some modifications to Yimena's new styles and sold them as their own products.
Gradually, Yiyang Group also seized some distributor resources.
Even their original works slowly started to gain sales.
Of course, no matter how Yiyang Group developed,
there was always a gap compared to Yimena.
Hence, in all aspects,
Yiyang Group always wanted to compete with Yimena.
Even resorting to sneaky tactics.
This time, the problem with Yimena's products.
Actually, it was Yiyang Group causing trouble behind the scenes.
However, Yiyang Group bribed someone, who was a super veteran of Yimena Group.
Although the position was ordinary, it was a role absolutely beyond suspicion.
Hence, even until now.
Yimena Group hasn't found substantive evidence.
And now, Lin Xi wanted Lin Lu as the spokesperson.
Zhang Biao naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Currently, Yimena Group was in dire straits.
Perhaps Lin Lu was Yimena's last straw of hope.
Zhang Biao definitely wouldn't let Lin Xi grasp it.
Not only would he not let Lin Xi get Lin Lu's endorsement,
he would make Lin Lu endorse Yiyang Group.
Yimena Group was only one step away from collapse.
While his Yiyang Group would replace Yimena Group.
Becoming Jiangdu City's finest clothing enterprise!
He had waited for this day for too long.
He was finally going to completely defeat Lin Xi.
Defeat that woman who never even gave him a direct glance!
At this moment, he unexpectedly ran into Lin Xi outside Lin Lu's hotel.
He had been granted an audience with Lin Lu.
And the two chatted pleasantly.
Though Lin Lu didn't immediately agree, she expressed significant interest in collaborating with Yiyang Group.
As for Lin Xi?
She didn't even get to meet Lin Lu.
How could Lin Xi not detect Zhang Biao's sarcastic tone?
During this time, Zhang Biao undoubtedly had complete knowledge of Yimena's situation.
Coming to ask Lin Xi if she's doing well lately?
Isn't that sarcasm?
Lin Xi intended to ignore Zhang Biao.
She walked straight ahead.
"President Lin, wait." Zhang Biao pursued her.
Like a stray dog, Zhang Biao followed Lin Xi.
"President Lin, if you're facing any trouble, you can tell me. We're both in the clothing business; it's only right to help each other." Zhang Biao pretended to be kind-hearted.
"I don't need your help." Lin Xi sneered, then walked directly into the elevator.
Zhang Biao followed into the elevator.
"President Lin, don't be so aloof. I know your company is facing difficulties; we can absolutely collaborate." Zhang Biao was like a fly.
"How do you want to collaborate?"
"It's simple, you sell your company to me, Yimena Group rebranded as Yiyang Group, and Yimena's scandals will disappear forever." Zhang Biao chuckled.
This way, Yimena's incident could indeed disappear.
Similarly, Yimena would disappear too.
