Chapter 241 Xiao Yue’s Strategy: A New Way to Break the Situation

The assistant's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of trembling: "Mr. Xiao, Giant Li has joined forces with several large retailers and refused to put our new products on the shelves! Now several important online sales platforms have also begun to restrict the exposure of our products, saying that... it is a system failure." Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and his fingertips almost pinched into the phone.

System failure?

Who are you trying to fool with such a poor excuse?

Giant Li wants to kill them all!

Shen Ting's face also turned gloomy. He picked up his mobile phone, dialed a number, spoke a few words briefly, and then hung up.

"I've already arranged for someone to investigate. It seems that Giant Li is more unscrupulous than we thought." His voice was low and dangerous.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that now was not the time to panic. The fate of the Xiao family was in her hands, and she had to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Hold an emergency strategic meeting!" she ordered decisively.

An hour later, the atmosphere in Xiao's corporate strategy conference room was solemn.

On the huge projection screen, bright red numbers glaringly showed the precipitous drop in new product sales.

Consultant Chen frowned, pushed his glasses up on his nose, and said in a heavy tone, "Mr. Xiao, Big Li's blockade is tighter than we expected, almost blocking all our sales channels. Acting rashly now is too risky. I suggest conserving our strength and biding our time."

Employee Zhou's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, Mr. Xiao, our capital chain is already very tight now. If we continue to invest, I'm afraid..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiao Yue.

"Conserve strength? Wait for the opportunity? How much time do we have to wait? Giant Li is pressing us step by step, just to force us into a dead end!" Although Xiao Yue's voice was not loud, it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"But..." Consultant Chen wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Xiao Yue's sharp eyes.

Xiao Yue walked over to the projection screen, pointed at the declining figures, and said in a resounding voice, "We have reached the point of no return! Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, we must fight with our backs against the wall! Consultant Chen, I believe you must have other strategies. What we need is a breakthrough, not a conservative approach!"

Consultant Chen fell silent. He knew that Xiao Yue was right, but the risk of doing so was too great. If he was not careful, the Xiao family might be doomed.

Xiao Yue looked around and his eyes fell on Analyst Wu, who had been silent in the corner of the conference room.

"Analyst Wu, what do you think?"

Analyst Wu raised his head, a wise light flashing behind his glasses.

He spoke slowly: "I have been paying attention to an emerging Internet platform..." Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man hurried in and whispered a few words in Xiao Yue's ear.

Xiao Yue's face turned pale instantly. She stood up suddenly and said in a trembling voice, "Contact immediately... Contact..."

Analyst Wu pushed up his glasses, and the light behind the lenses became brighter.

"I've been keeping an eye on an emerging internet platform, 'Starlight Express.' They specialize in short videos and livestreaming, and have a massive user base with incredible spending power. While they're not yet big enough to compete with traditional e-commerce giants, they're growing very fast and have enormous potential. If we could collaborate with them..."

"Partnering with Starlight Express?" Consultant Chen interrupted Analyst Wu, his tone tinged with skepticism. "They're an emerging platform, after all, and their reliability remains to be seen. Furthermore, their user base is primarily young, which doesn't fully match our target customer base."

"Consultant Chen, I've considered everything you've said," Xiao Yue said firmly. "But we're out of options now. Giant Li's blockade is so tight that traditional channels are no longer viable. We must find another way. Starlight Express may be a new platform, but their user activity and spending power are incredibly high, which is exactly what we need right now. As for our target customer base, we can adjust our product and develop a marketing strategy tailored to the characteristics of Starlight Express's users."

Employee Zhou's face remained pale, and his lips trembled as he spoke, "But...what if we fail? We..."

"No chance of a failure!" Xiao Yue interrupted him decisively, his eyes blazing. "We must succeed! The fate of the Xiao family is in our own hands!"

Xiao Yue overcame all objections and finally decided to cooperate with "Starlight Express".

She personally led the team to negotiate with the head of "Starlight Express" and finally reached a cooperation agreement.

Xiao's company's products received unprecedented exposure on the "Starlight Express" platform. In just a few days, the number of orders soared like a rocket, and the previously sluggish sales figures were quickly refreshed.

When Zhou, an employee who was originally in low spirits, saw the increasing number of orders, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes.

He changed his previous timidity and cowardice, actively devoted himself to work, and motivated other employees to work enthusiastically.

The cohesion within Xiao's company was greatly enhanced at this moment. Everyone was full of fighting spirit and worked hard for the future of Xiao's company.

Xiao Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, looking at the bustling city night view outside the window, a faint smile appeared on his tired face.

The office door was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in...

Shen Ting gently pushed open the office door and walked behind Xiao Yue.

He stroked Xiao Yue's hair gently, his eyes full of pity.

"Thank you for your hard work." His low voice sounded in Xiao Yue's ears, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Xiao Yue turned around and leaned her head gently in Shen Ting's arms, and her tired body and mind were instantly relaxed.

"Fortunately, everything is getting better." She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and sense of security coming from Shen Ting.

A few days later, Zhao Tongxing personally came to Xiao's enterprise to visit Xiao Yue.

His face was full of smiles and his tone was flattering.

"Mr. Xiao is truly young and promising. His breakthrough this time is truly admirable." Zhao Tongxing paused, rubbed his hands, and continued, "I wonder if Mr. Xiao could... reveal the details of our partnership with Starlight Express? We'd also like to try this new channel."

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, with a shrewd gleam in his eyes.

"Mr. Zhao, you're too polite. The details of the cooperation involve commercial secrets and are not convenient to disclose. However..." Although Xiao Yue's refusal was tactful, it was also ruthless, which made Zhao Tongxing feel a little embarrassed.

Xiao's cooperation with "Starlight Express" has brought good news one after another, with market share steadily recovering, and everything is moving in a good direction.

However, Giant Li did not give up.

He watched Xiao come back to life, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Humph, you think you can turn things around like this? I have another trick up my sleeve!"

Giant Li threw the red wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the scarlet wine splashed on the carpet, just like his mood at the moment, full of anger and unwillingness.

"Go, spread the news that Xiao's products have serious quality problems!" His gloomy voice echoed in the room, with a chilling coldness.

The news spread like a virus, and posts and comments about the quality issues of Xiao's products began to appear on the Internet.

At first there were just some sporadic complaints, but soon they evolved into large-scale questioning and condemnation.

Xiao’s customer service phone was flooded with calls, and there was chaos inside and outside the company.

Xiao Yue looked at the negative comments that kept refreshing on the computer screen, and his expression gradually became solemn.

She stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door and the assistant came in hurriedly.

"Mr. Xiao, something bad has happened..." The assistant's voice was trembling and his face was pale, as if he had seen something terrible.

Xiao Yue turned around, frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The assistant took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty: "The testing agency... the testing agency..."
