I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 415: Total Collapse
In less than half an hour, the tide completely turned, Celestial Fortune became the victim, and Lailuo Clothing was exposed. The anger of netizens was even greater than before, and everyone was cursing, with almost no one speaking for Lailuo Clothing.
In fact, the reversal of events wasn’t so easy, as Lailuo Clothing was such a large brand company, considered good in the minds of many, with many loyal customers.
For example, there are people who only buy Anta, Grenoble, Li Ning, and so on, sticking to a few specific brands.
Lailuo Clothing reaching its scale certainly had a large fixed customer base.
Simply put, some people got used to buying clothes from Lailuo Clothing and developed some feelings for it.
It’s like liking a celebrity; when a scandal emerges involving the celebrity, most fans express a sigh and then stop being fans, without necessarily cursing him/her.
However, now that Lailuo Clothing’s fortune has been siphoned away by Qin Yun, the little goodwill people had towards Lailuo Clothing has completely disappeared.
Now, they view Lailuo Clothing as if it’s a brand they have never heard of.
The result was that this brand had done such a disgusting thing, igniting everyone’s anger.
...
"What exactly is going on?"
Before the clarification video appeared, in Jinling, at the Lailuo Clothing office building, Chen Moyang looked at the data in his hand with a gloomy face.
"How did the revenue drop by so much?"
It was already evening, and an overview of Lailuo Clothing’s revenue had come out.
Previously, the continuous withdrawal of franchisees had already made him head over heels, but when the revenue came out, it was directly down by one-third compared to before!
A drop of more than thirty percent!
"Who is targeting our Lailuo Clothing?"
Chen Moyang’s face looked grim, and he could not believe that nobody was targeting him given the continuous withdrawal of franchisees and the plummeting revenue in the Su Province area.
"Report to headquarters!"
Despite his gloomy face, Chen Moyang prepared to make a call without hesitation.
Given such a massive incident, he was thinking of informing headquarters to uncover the culprit for them to have a response strategy.
This was the most beneficial for Lailuo Clothing.
"President Chen!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man, Li Yi, hurried over, clearly flustered, and said, "Something big has happened!"
"What’s the matter, why are you so flustered?"
Looking at the middle-aged man, Chen Moyang slightly frowned.
This Li Yi was someone he had promoted single-handedly after taking over the market in Su Province. He had often told him that no matter how anxious he felt, he should not show it too obviously.
However, seeing Li Yi like this, anyone could tell the company was in some major trouble.
"President Chen, just now Celestial Fortune and Jinlin City’s police jointly released a clarification video, and our company Lailuo Clothing was exposed as having framed Celestial Fortune!" Li Yi hurriedly said, opening the video for Chen Moyang to see.
After hearing what he said, Chen Moyang’s expression changed, but he said nothing, watching the video until the very end.
After watching, Chen Moyang’s face changed drastically, unable to maintain his composure any longer.
"How did Celestial Fortune know about our plan?"
He knew people like Wang Yu and Zhang Yang quite well.
However, these two were caught and controlled by the police from the very beginning.
During this time, Zhang Yang had contacted them, but all these contacts were intentional to extract their information!
And they only realized this situation now!
The office remained silent even after the video ended, and Chen Moyang did not speak.
After three or four seconds, Chen Moyang said in a deep voice: "Manager Li, immediately prepare a clarification document denying any connection between this incident and our Lailuo Clothing. I’ll call headquarters immediately."
He wasted no more words and started making the call directly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt it was troublesome; Qin Yun as a competitor was much more difficult to handle than he had imagined.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Moyang’s face changed dramatically even before he said anything.
"Problems arose in other provinces as well?"
...
Compared to the chaos at Lailuo Clothing in Jinling, Lailuo Clothing headquarters was in complete chaos.
This chaos had started more than an hour ago.
During that period, franchisees were continually calling to withdraw.
The reason was simple: Qin Yun had been absorbing Lailuo Clothing’s fortune by then.
It should be noted that absorbing a secondary Wealth Gathering Array was equivalent to capturing more than half the market of a province for Lailuo Clothing, and he could gather one in three minutes.
In other words, in just a few minutes, Qin Yun could completely absorb a province’s market fortune from Lailuo Clothing.
After absorbing it, a series of consequences began in that market, most noticeably the continuous withdrawal of franchisees.
Within this one-hour period, the market divisions of over a dozen provinces of Lailuo Clothing were continuously calling to report situations.
From one, two, ten, to a hundred, even a thousand; these franchisees withdrew in large numbers in a short time!
This represented a direct collapse in their market’s overall scale!
And it did not stop there. The number of withdrawing franchisees was still increasing! At this rate, all of them might withdraw!
At Lailuo Clothing headquarters, the executives quickly held a meeting, but before reaching any consensus, the clarification video about Celestial Fortune was released!
Once the video appeared, they acted faster than Chen Moyang in seeking solutions, but before they could implement anything, the online narrative completely reversed.
On platforms like TikTok and other short video apps, opening them was almost guaranteed to show the clarification video from Celestial Fortune.
People shifted from cursing Celestial Fortune to directly cursing Lailuo Clothing, harder than before!
On every official account where comments could be left, they were filled with curses.
"Can anyone tell me what’s going on???"
In the meeting room, Lailuo Clothing’s chairman pounded the table, shouting angrily.
"Who exactly is targeting us?"
Until now, Lailuo Clothing’s chairman still did not suspect Celestial Fortune of secretly making moves.
How large was Celestial Fortune, and how large were they? The scales were incomparable, could Celestial Fortune really handle them?
Back then, Celestial Fortune competed with Cold Dew Clothing, only causing Cold Dew to withdraw from the Su Province market, yet it still operated fine now.
Cold Dew Clothing was only valued at around two billion, while Lailuo Clothing was valued at ten billion; the scale difference was huge, and if Celestial Fortune couldn’t handle Cold Dew, could they really handle them?
Therefore, their most logical thought was that someone else was targeting them, and Celestial Fortune just delivered a blow along the way, maybe Celestial Fortune was also being controlled by that person, otherwise how could the timing of its exposure be so perfect?
