Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 466 - 465: Perplexing Attack Point

"Xiao Wu, what we’re doing is a long-term business. The brand cannot have any stains; I’ve told you this many times. Others may make a lot of money, but they’ll have to pay it back eventually. It’s like your old mother, would you feel easy letting her live in a high-rise that was built in just one year?"

Xiao Wu nodded, and replied, "I understand, rest assured, I’ll handle this personally. But finding a good milk source that meets international standards is really tough."

"It has to be used, no negotiation. You’ll understand in the future."

Gu Xiaoqing took a deep breath and then continued, "Next, are there any individuals we need to pay attention to?"

"The people from the Hongdao Group often interact with someone with the surname Yang, but this person’s wife is no simple figure. She has a strong background and is said to be quite influential in the country."

"Oh?"

"Yang’s wife is from the Nalan Family, potentially with royal bloodline. The Nalan Family is very influential overseas. During the war, they contributed a lot of medical supplies to the domestic resistance. The people of the Nalan Family are very brave and have achieved significant accomplishments.

Later, during turbulent times, they were dormant for a while, but their influence in South Asia grew rapidly. After rehabilitation, their domestic status rose quickly, and with the current developments, the Nalan Family is now highly reputable within the country."

"So, are you saying we might not only offend the Hongdao Group but also possibly be at odds with the current elite?"

"Additionally, the Nalan Family is also a major competitor in our real estate sector. Behind Sanbai and Jianlibao, there are shadows of them controlling as well. Essentially, we might be confronting a giant python."

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled; how dared two nearly obsolete entities compete with her?

It’s laughable!

"A python?"

Gu Xiaoqing laughed and said, "At best, they’re just grasshoppers tied to the same string. Of course, given the current situation that they are strong, we’ll temporarily avoid them. However, Xiao Wu, precisely because of this, you need to pay even more attention, and ensure there’s no slip-up in maintaining quality."

"No problem, rest assured, Miss Gu."

Gu Xiaoqing then stayed for a meal with Ryan and Lang. Having identified her biggest potential adversary, she understood what to do next.

Gu Xiaoqing felt that if they just took things slowly, they had already achieved quite a bit.

Keeping Xiao Wu back then was absolutely the right decision, as his role was crucial.

But time waits for no one, and the opposition wouldn’t wait for her to become a grasshopper from a python before causing trouble.

Sitting back in the car, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t need to go inspect the factories, as she would regularly test the market quality of her products.

Nonetheless, Xiao Wu never disappointed her.

Not long after the New Year, a piece of news spread across the country.

A prominent figure in the Capital passed away and ultimately did not live to see the day Hong Kong returned.

Immediately, there was national mourning.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoqing’s New Horizon reached another peak in the new year, as many children of officials began to yearn for life abroad due to the summer camps.

Just as Gu Xiaoqing said, though a lot of money was spent organizing a winter camp for the second generation, it brought many opportunities to New Horizon.

For instance, New Horizon’s materials were recognized as official tutoring resources.

New Horizon also became the officially recommended tutoring institution in the country, frequently visited by leaders and school principals.

Gu Xiaoqing’s home tutoring charity initiative received widespread acclaim.

However, there was also some criticism from peers.

Gu Xiaoqing’s approach was too definitive, as she only charged a fee of 3 yuan, which made it nearly impossible for small educational institutions seeking profits in this way to survive.

First, they couldn’t dare charge more than New Horizon, yet they needed profit, even without analyst costs, the profit margin was too small.

Second, truly talented students all flocked to New Horizon, and they couldn’t attract good students.

And as for not-so-good students?

They would be dismissed after two or three attempts; parents aren’t foolish, they’d naturally dismiss tutors if their child didn’t improve, or worsened.

Third, without a vast pool of teaching resources and new talent, everything was rushing towards New Horizon, which consumed all the meat and soup together.

In the same year, New Hope was directly acquired by New Horizon, and even the headquarters they painstakingly set up in the Capital became part of New Horizon’s territory.

In her past life, New Hope, which was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, was utterly defeated and humiliated in this life by Gu Xiaoqing.

Of course, in this era that was about to embrace informatization, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t forget to do two things.

The first was instant messaging, which is a chat software.

The second was search engines.

With technical support from Sean on the search engine front and Gu Xiaoqing’s lead, a new company was soon established.

Chat software was also very easy to carry out; the most important thing remaining was promotion.

On the promotional front, Gu Xiaoqing adopted the approach of using numeric accounts, akin to Tencent in her previous life. Because of local habits, people found it easier to remember numbers rather than letters initially.

The new company was named Bai Xun, with its main business focusing on search engines and communication software. With overseas experience, the development was naturally rapid.

What else was Gu Xiaoqing’s advantage?

Her search engine and chat software were first used in New Horizon, which was populated by the country’s next generation, making it her unique, powerful weapon to cultivate future user habits!

Soon the phrase ’Do you have a QQ account?’ from the past turned into ’Do you have a Bai Xun account?’ among domestic children.

New Horizon’s employees also started using Bai Xun accounts to communicate, post announcements, etc.

The habit of using this communication tool began to be cultivated bit by bit.

The moment that the opposition didn’t act, Gu Xiaoqing recklessly expanded her influence, developing at a remarkable pace.

However, by mid-year, someone finally couldn’t hold back.

The first to launch an attack wasn’t on New Horizon, seemingly because they realized New Horizon was under too many protective umbrellas.

Moreover, handling it carelessly might offend that group of parents, which wasn’t a good thing.

Parents would go to great lengths for their children.

It was an unexpected aspect for Gu Xiaoqing—the Fang Family!

This happened just after Gu Xiaoqing finished setting up her new company. Because Fang Shaohan would meet her every week, but it had been close to half a week longer, and there wasn’t even a call from Fang Shaohan.

Gu Xiaoqing began to feel that something was off.

She also got no response when calling Fang Shaohan, so Gu Xiaoqing called Fang Shaohan’s mother, He Cui.

That’s when she learned that Fang Shaohan was under isolation and investigation due to an ordinary murder case.

It was unexpected for Gu Xiaoqing that Fang Shaohan was targeted, and she couldn’t be sure whether the opposite was attacking her or the Fang Family.

If it was the Fang Family being targeted, would it have nothing to do with her?

If it was targeted at her, the timing of the attack was so ingenious!
