I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 416: Frenzied Absorption!
But no matter how much they pondered, they couldn’t figure out who it was.
The franchisees withdrew for various reasons, and they couldn’t find any traces of manipulation behind the scenes.
There are two explanations for this: maybe the time was too short, and they hadn’t found anything yet.
The other explanation is that the person behind the scenes is too cunning, and with their abilities, they couldn’t detect such sophisticated methods.
...
The meeting couldn’t resolve any issues, and in a short time, issues regarding Lailuo Clothing continued to erupt.
Almost all the franchisees withdrew; the clothing store was crowded, but most were there to return clothes and membership cards.
Some even threw eggs at the entrance of the Lailuo Clothing Store.
At the same time, many partners of Lailuo Clothing were also terminating cooperation.
Problems that had accumulated in the past all erupted at this time.
It was like a set of dominoes; once the first tile was gently pushed, the rest followed in a chain reaction, toppling in no time.
This large-scale enterprise, valued at billions, had its dominoes falling, and aside from Qin Yun, no one could stop it!
...
In the car, Qin Yun was on the phone.
"President Qin, after the clarifying video was released, the negative impact on Celestial Fortune nearly disappeared instantly, and it even sparked enormous consumer enthusiasm. Many people are saying they’re coming to apologize to Celestial Fortune."
On the phone, Zhao Tianqiang spoke excitedly.
The turnaround was incredibly fast; he had thought it would take a considerable amount of time to eliminate the negative impact on Celestial Fortune.
"That’s good." Qin Yun smiled in response.
Now that Lailuo Clothing had lost its fortune, it couldn’t withstand the retaliatory strike from Celestial Fortune.
After talking about this, Zhao Tianqiang added, "President Qin, the new line we released earlier was delayed because of the video incident. The company plans to launch it market-wide the day after tomorrow, and Li Xin will handle the promotion."
Previously, Celestial Fortune’s issues delayed the new line’s launch.
But now the situation had improved, and it was the perfect time to launch the new line, which was being endorsed by Li Xin.
Previously, due to Celestial Fortune’s situation, Li Xin also faced significant troubles and received a lot of backlash on Weibo.
Her agent, Sun Lan, even advised Li Xin to consider terminating the contract with Celestial Fortune.
They had signed a two-year contract, and now that Celestial Fortune was in trouble, even if Li Xin unilaterally terminated the contract, it would still be permissible under the agreement.
The issue was that as the situation with Celestial Fortune continued to ferment, the online backlash intensified. Opportunities that were coming Li Xin’s way in shows or dramas came to a halt.
For celebrities, it’s crucial not to get a bad reputation. Even if you’re hugely popular, a couple of days of bad press can sink you.
That’s why Sun Lan was worried that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for Li Xin.
By timely contract termination, she could distance herself from Celestial Fortune’s impact.
However, Li Xin flatly refused, saying, "Sister Sun, I believe President Qin can handle this issue."
She greatly admired Qin Yun. At this critical moment, if she terminated the contract, there would be no chance of cooperation with Celestial Fortune in the future.
And now, her manager Sun Lan was excitedly saying, "Oh, Xinxin, luckily you didn’t listen to my bad advice!"
She watched the video; now no one was cursing Celestial Fortune, whereas the multimillion-dollar enterprise, Lailuo Clothing, was thrust into the spotlight.
She felt relieved yet slightly terrified. The tables turned for Celestial Fortune in just a single day. She couldn’t believe it didn’t have support behind it; fortunately, Li Xin stuck it out and didn’t terminate the contract hastily.
...
"Li Xin, is it?"
Listening to Zhao Tianqiang, Qin Yun nodded.
Li Xin’s stance had been great. Many companies faced issues, and those who endorsed them were quick to tweet, distancing themselves.
Li Xin didn’t do that, and in Qin Yun’s eyes, her standing increased just a bit.
"Okay, follow the promotional plan." Qin Yun instructed.
He hung up the phone and glanced at the time.
"It’s evening now, the stock market is closed. By tomorrow morning, I wonder how much Lailuo Clothing’s stock price will drop?" He thought to himself.
Lailuo Clothing was listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, and its fortune had been completely absorbed by Qin Yun. The outcome in the stock market was predictable!
Today’s situation at Lailuo Clothing was just the beginning. For such a large company, it couldn’t possibly collapse within hours.
"Here we are!"
Thinking about it, Qin Yun suddenly looked towards a tall building not far away!
This was the headquarters of Cold Dew Clothing Group!
"Cold Dew, it’s time to take you down!" Qin Yun’s eyes glinted with a chilling light.
When Celestial Fortune first started in Jinling, under Cold Dew’s pressure, it had to close all its stores.
If it weren’t for Qin Yun’s Wealth Gathering Array, it surely would have faltered under Cold Dew’s pressure and shut down entirely.
Back then, Celestial Fortune had few means of retaliation; even now, concentrating all efforts against Cold Dew wouldn’t bring it down in a short time.
But, the scenario now was entirely different!
Within just a few hours, the multibillion-dollar Lailuo Clothing encountered a massive upheaval; franchisees and partners withdrew one after another. Qin Yun estimated its stock price would plummet by tomorrow, and another wave of online backlash would ensue.
The gigantic Lailuo Clothing was suddenly facing a colossal crisis!
Cold Dew Clothing, in terms of scale, was several times smaller than Lailuo Clothing!
If Lailuo couldn’t withstand it, how could Cold Dew possibly resist?
Buzz...
In Qin Yun’s mind, a phantom copper coin gently vibrated.
Inside the copper coin, a point of light from a second-level Wealth Dispersal Array flew out and quickly touched the Cold Dew Clothing Group headquarters in front of him!
The point of light expanded, transforming into a complex network of lines, completely enveloping the Lailuo Clothing Group.
Once enveloped, the dim network quickly lit up, and within three minutes, this Wealth Dispersal Array fully transformed into a Wealth Gathering Array!
"Continue absorbing!"
Wasting no time, Qin Yun continued to release points of light from the Wealth Dispersal Array, then absorbed them.
By the sixth minute, a second Wealth Gathering Array had formed!
By the ninth minute, a third Wealth Gathering Array had taken shape!
...
Twenty minutes passed quickly!
At this time, the seventh second-level Wealth Dispersal Array covered Cold Dew Clothing, and while it was transforming into a second-level Wealth Gathering Array, the transformation halted halfway.
By now, Cold Dew Clothing’s fortune had all been absorbed by Qin Yun!
"Six Wealth Gathering Arrays, and another halfway transformed Gathering Array."
Looking at the light points in his hand, Qin Yun’s face carried a slight smile.
"Continue to the next place!"
