93: Chapter 93 The Search for Baili Group

The secretary knocked on the door and walked into Chairman Dong Baili's office.

She was holding a document in her hand.

"Chairman Dong." The secretary looked at Chairman Dong Baili, who was resting with his eyes closed, and called out softly.

After that previous experience, the secretary now felt fear for Chairman Dong Baili from the inside out.

She worried that Chairman Dong Baili would lose control of his emotions and vent his anger on her.

Last time Chairman Dong Baili grabbed her by the throat, for a moment, she felt the breath of death.

Therefore, ever since then, every time she faced Chairman Dong Baili, she felt an uncontrollable fear.

It was as if the man in front of her was a wild beast that could devour people at any moment.

"Hmm, what is it?"

Chairman Dong Baili slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the secretary, who was dressed in a sexy professional suit.

"It's the market research document sent over by the Marketing Department."

The secretary placed a document on Chairman Dong Baili's desk.

"Read it to me!"

Chairman Dong Baili didn't even move; he lay back in his chair and ordered lazily and listlessly.

"Yes!" The secretary bit her red lips, carefully picked up the document, opened it, and read the contents inside.

"Marketing Department Monthly Summary: In the past month, the group's average order volume has dropped by seventy percent. Among them, large agricultural machinery orders have dropped by seventy-eight percent, large machinery for the construction industry has dropped by sixty-five percent overall, and large engineering heavy machinery..."

"Stop!" Chairman Dong Baili shouted immediately, his brows tightly locked.

He snatched the document from the secretary's hand and began to read it himself. The further he read, the uglier his expression became.

"Tell me, why has the order volume dropped so much in just one month? Why are even old customers no longer ordering our machines?"

Chairman Dong Baili slammed the document onto the desk and asked angrily.

"Ac... According to the Marketing Department's research, these domestic orders have all been snatched away by Xu's Heavy Industry and Tangs Heavy Industry."

The secretary's face was extremely nervous, and she stuttered. Because she was too afraid, she kept her head down at this moment, not daring to look into Chairman Dong Baili's eyes.

"Xu's Heavy Industry? Tangs Heavy Industry? How could they have the ability to snatch our orders?"

Chairman Dong Baili asked in a deep voice.

Tangs Heavy Industry's market was mainly concentrated in the Northwest region, and they couldn't form any competitiveness against them at all.

Not to mention Xu's Heavy Industry, which didn't have any large machinery worth showing off.

"As I mentioned to you last time, Xu's Heavy Industry and Tangs Heavy Industry are collaborating, complementing each other's technology to upgrade and modify the machinery of both companies."

"Some time ago, they completed the upgrades and modifications and began selling the new machines. It is said that their new machines have excellent performance, and they also offer lifetime warranties and free repairs."

The secretary told Chairman Dong Baili all the details of the feedback from the Marketing Department. Then, she stood quietly to the side, waiting for Chairman Dong Baili's instructions.

"Damn it, it's Xu's Heavy Industry again!"

After hearing the secretary's words, Chairman Dong Baili's expression was incredibly gloomy.

"Wherever there is Xu's Heavy Industry, there is never any good news for Baili Heavy Industry."

Chairman Dong Baili lit a cigar and said hatefully.

He frowned and smoked the cigar puff by puff. After a long while, he opened his mouth again to ask:

"What does the Marketing Department say?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, muttered a few times, but still relayed the Marketing Department's original words.

"The Marketing Department analyzed that if this continues, Baili Heavy Industry's revenue will plummet. Without an effective solution, I'm afraid it will eventually be difficult to maintain operations, and it will... go bankrupt..."

After saying this, the secretary lowered her head even further. It was visible to the naked eye that her body was trembling slightly.

She understood that when the boss heard this, he would definitely be furious. Sure enough, just as she finished speaking, Chairman Dong Baili slammed his hand on the table.

"Bang!"

Chairman Dong Baili's powerful palm made intimate contact with the desktop, emitting a loud noise.

The water glass on the table wobbled, and with a 'thud,' it tipped over onto the desk, soaking a portion of the documents in front of him.

"A bunch of trash! Even if I die, Baili Group will not fall!"

"Who said Baili Group would go bankrupt? Fire them for me!"

Chairman Dong Baili shouted sternly.

His face flushed red, veins bulging, like an enraged lion, roaring wildly.

"Ch... Chairman Dong, nearly one-third of the staff in the Marketing Department have already resigned!"

She knew Chairman Dong Baili was in a fit of rage. But if he fired anyone else, there would be no one left in the Marketing Department.

Hearing this, Chairman Dong Baili was immediately choked up. He was stunned for a long time and didn't say another word.

After a long time, he sighed deeply and sat back down on the chair that had been soaked by the tea.

"Chairman Dong, there's water!"

The secretary said hurriedly, making a move to get tissues to help him wipe it up.

Chairman Dong Baili waved his hand, signaling her not to worry about it. After a long silence, he spoke again, his tone much more dejected.

"Did the Marketing Department say if there is a solution?"

"They said that only by collaborating with Xus and Tangs Heavy Industry is there a glimmer of hope; otherwise..."

The secretary didn't continue, and the outcome was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Chairman Dong Baili let out a long sigh, his heart filled with mixed feelings and all sorts of emotions.

Thinking back, he had wanted Xu's Heavy Industry to go bankrupt so he could acquire it.

He hadn't expected that in just a few short months, such a thing would be happening to him.

Truly... the tables have turned!

After quite a while, he spoke again:

"Call Xu's Heavy Industry and seek cooperation with them..."

After saying this, Chairman Dong Baili's aura seemed to fade significantly. He no longer had his previous aggression.

His hands were trembling slightly; he had made a very difficult decision just now.

Hearing this, the secretary was slightly startled. Then, following Chairman Dong Baili's request, she went to seek cooperation with Xu's Heavy Industry.

She dialed the number for Xu's Heavy Industry, and the person who answered was Xu Hao's assistant, Wang Qian.

Upon hearing that the caller was Baili Heavy Industry Group, Wang Qian's pretty face immediately tightened.

She had thought the other party was calling to cause trouble, but to her surprise, they were actually seeking to cooperate with Xu's Heavy Industry?

This surprised Wang Qian. Baili Heavy Industry had repeatedly caused trouble for Xu's Heavy Industry. Once, they even wanted to acquire Xu's Heavy Industry.

She didn't expect that now, they actually wanted to cooperate with Xu's Heavy Industry?

Wang Qian did not reply to the other party immediately; after hanging up the phone, she reported the matter to Xu Hao.

"No time! Refuse them directly!"

Xu Hao answered immediately after hearing Wang Qian's report.

Baili Heavy Industry wants to cooperate? Who gave him the nerve?

Xu Hao snorted coldly. He hadn't forgotten that back when Xu's Heavy Industry was in trouble, Chairman Dong Baili not only wanted to acquire it at an extremely low price, but also humiliated them repeatedly, and even hired internet trolls to smear Xu's Heavy Industry online.

Now he wants to cooperate with Xu's Heavy Industry? Chairman Dong Baili is too naive!

Wang Qian relayed Xu Hao's words to Chairman Dong Baili's secretary. Upon hearing this, the secretary's expression changed drastically. "Can we really not cooperate? Wang..."

The secretary still wanted to negotiate further, but Wang Qian on the other end hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the busy signal on the receiver, the secretary returned to the office and told Chairman Dong Baili this reply.

Upon hearing this, Chairman Dong Baili flew into another rage. But after the rage, he felt powerless all over.

He looked out the dim window, his mood exceptionally heavy.

Chairman Dong Baili muttered to himself: "Baili Heavy Industry is really finished!"
