Chapter 1352 Trying to Steal the Secret Formula
In the car, Chen Jing lowered her voice and asked softly, "Is it safe to talk in the car?"
Liu Meilan nodded. "Safe! Anything else?"
Chen Jing replied, "I don't have any private matters to discuss, but Dong Yunyun asked me to pass on a message to you: the Liang family is interested in your securities company! As for whether the Liang family is behind it, she has no evidence to prove it!"
Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Last time they were involved in a major smuggling case and suffered heavy losses. Although they overcame the crisis, their strength is far less than before! What makes Liang Huanhuan so confident that she can get shares in the securities company from me?"
Chen Jing sighed, "She may not have the ability, but someone needs her as a pawn! Similarly, she needs others to support her. Even if it's risky, she has to do it! If she succeeds, she can move up a level. If she fails, the worst that can happen is that she'll have nothing left. She didn't have much left anyway."
Liu Meilan fell silent. "No one gets up early for nothing, and this is perfectly illustrated at this time! Now that we're in an investment company, we're just a piece of fat meat in their eyes! Everyone, good or bad, wants to take a bite!"
Chen Jing covered her mouth and laughed, "Many people think your second brother is the backbone, but they don't know that you are!"
Liu Meilan laughed, "I manage the internal affairs, my second brother is in charge of administration, and we cooperate. Plus, with Ye Qiang around, I don't have to worry about anything. It's normal for outsiders to have this opinion! However, it has also brought a lot of trouble to my second brother, but fortunately, he has now reformed and those underhanded methods are no longer effective!"
Chen Jing deeply agreed, "The reason why Yang Hao is so well-behaved now is partly due to your influence, and partly because he has been frightened! Many people believe that if you are rich and powerful, you can have many women, sleep with female celebrities, sleep with subordinates, and live like an emperor."
"But these are also the people who get into trouble! They don't know what kind of men are behind these women, or how many there are! Several of Yang Hao's good friends used to be dismissed from their jobs or went bankrupt because of women! One of them was even stabbed to death by his mistress's husband!"
Liu Meilan blinked and said with a smile, "It's already very good that Yang Hao can see these things and correct them! Many people see them and know them, but they still can't change them, and that's the most tragic thing!"
Chen Jing nodded, "So now Yang Hao is getting closer and closer to Zhao Yong, and further and further away from Cao Jin and Zhang Yang! Birds of a feather flock together, that's for sure."
"Did Zhao Yong come this time too?" Liu Meilan asked, hoping that Zhao Yong could also bring her useful information.
Chen Jing replied, "He's here! He's found out some things and is waiting to tell you in person!"
Liu Meilan was moved, "Thank you so much!"
"If anyone should be thanking someone, it's us!" Chen Jing quickly shook her head. "Yang Hao and I are nobody in our families. We didn't have any political connections, and we weren't groomed for that kind of thing growing up! Now that we're grown up, we have stable jobs, and we hope that this year we can live a little better than most people. But wanting more is impossible!"
"Yang Hao went into business not only because his class was very boring, but also because he was dissatisfied and wanted to make some achievements! However, he had no business experience and grew up in a compound, so apart from using his elders' connections to get some permits or run some connections, he had no other way."
"Yang Hao is a very cautious person. When others ask him to do something, he will analyze it very thoroughly. If there is any risk or trouble for the Yang family or the Chen family, he will resolutely refuse to do it! So he is already an outstanding person to be able to earn several million yuan in a few years."
"Later, I met you and we started doing ornamental fish business together, which helped us earn our first pot of gold. Our cooperation has expanded over time, especially now that I'm an agent for Dafu Jewelry and the Seven White Pearl series, as well as some low-end products, which are already being sold in major supermarkets and retail stores in the north. This has made me very wealthy, and I can sit back and wait to collect money every day."
Chen Jing's feelings for Liu Meilan were heartfelt and sincere.
It was because of Liu Meilan that Chen Jing and Yang Hao's business grew bigger and bigger, and their influence in both families increased. They were no longer nobodys, which greatly satisfied them.
Upon arriving at the dock, we boarded a yacht and headed straight for the entertainment complex.
Upon learning that Liu Meilan was coming, Qian Kun asked the chef to prepare a special meal.
After everyone was seated, Zhao Yong quickly said, "Meilan, Zhou Xiang from the Zhou family is very interested in the secret formula for the Seven White Pearls! His uncle works in Shenzhen and came to the city before the Lunar New Year. I learned from a friend that he is in contact with people from your Pearl Research Institute!"
Qian Kun was stunned when he heard this. "He wants to steal the secret formula?"
Zhao Yong nodded, "As long as you have the secret recipe and can buy the raw materials, you can make Seven White Pearls, those high-end skincare products! Making a fortune every day, how can it not make people envious?"
Yang Hao looked at Liu Meilan and said, "Meilan, you must strengthen management here to prevent the secret formula from being leaked!"
Liu Meilan raised an eyebrow slightly, her smile full of confidence, "If it were that easy to let someone steal the secret formula, then Roland and those foreign luxury brands would have stolen it long ago!"
Hearing this, everyone was very surprised. "Meilan, there's no wall that money can't break. If there is, it's because the money isn't enough. If the money is more, the researchers at the institute might not be able to resist such temptation!"
"Moreover, there are other methods besides exploitation for researchers, such as coercion and even framing! In short, being targeted is a very troublesome matter!"
Liu Meilan took a sip of tea, her expression calm. "I can say that even if I openly give them the formula, the product they make, even if it looks exactly the same as ours to the naked eye, even if their ingredients are exactly the same as ours, will have different effects!"
Everyone looked puzzled. "Why is that?"
Liu Meilan replied with a smile, "Of course this is our core technology, and it's only controlled by me! Even the researchers don't know everything about it. Because I told our researchers that as long as they work hard and develop what I want, I don't care about anything else."
"If someone tries to bribe them, there's no need to hesitate. Just accept the money, hand over half to the company, and keep the other half for the researchers! We'll give them the secret formula directly! That's why our researchers are now very experienced and know how to negotiate higher prices! Because the higher the price, the larger their half will be!"
This operation left everyone speechless.
