Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 123

"What happened?"

Wilbur instantly seemed upset upon hearing that.

Industry competition was inevitable, but whoever targeted them made a huge mistake.

Faye frowned and said, "It was Nancy who told Chelsea about it. That's how we knew. Joy Corp hired people from a headhunting company to approach Nancy. They offered a high price to leak data from Willow Corp. They also offered her a lucrative deal to work undercover. The deal was to spread rumors within Willow Corp that they were on the brink of bankruptcy due to debt issues. They promised to acquire Willow Corp and make Nancy the CEO, among other things."

Wilbur fell into thought.

Such actions were illegal, but it was nothing new.

They wanted to get someone from the inside to work undercover and spread rumors. They were trying to cause panic from the inside and pressure them from the outside. The target would be easily persuaded to sell. Then, they could acquire the target company at a low price.

They chose Nancy because they had done their research.

She was young and inexperienced. Secondly, she just stepped into a leadership role, which makes her susceptible to impulsive decisions and thus, easier to manipulate.

However, her character was approved by Wilbur before she was entrusted with the leadership role. Otherwise, Wilbur would not have allowed her to take on the role of general manager so easily.

They clearly made a mistake. That was why Faye found out immediately.

After some time, Wilbur asked, "Out of all the enterprises in Seechertown, why did Joy Corp target Willow Corp?"

"Willow Corp might not be big, but it is an established business. It holds a favorable geographical location. If Joy Corp manages to acquire Willow Corp and invest in its renovation, it will soon develop this area into a high-end commercial district. That was my plan as well, but I didn't anticipate Joy Corp to make a move so suddenly," she explained.

Wilbur asked, "What's your plan then?"

Faye thought about it and said, "We should rebrand Willow Corp sooner and list it as a company under Cape Consortium. Make our renovation plan public to all the tenants of Willow Corp and promise a twenty percent reduction in rent for the longstanding merchants. Joy Corp won't have an easy start this way."

"Is the twenty percent reduction in rent a last resort?" asked Wilbur.

Capitalists invested a huge amount of money into a specific industry, even incurring losses, to attract customers and establish a foothold.

They would raise the prices gradually once the business was established. They would make their profits from the customers.

Several well-known enterprises in the country operated that way. Many people understood the concept, but they could not do anything about it.

Wilbur asked, "Is there any way we can teach Joy Corp a lesson? Perhaps we can acquire them?"

Faye frowned and said, "There is a way, but it will require a massive amount of money. It may take a couple of years."

"Tell me about what you have in mind," Wilbur prompted.

She responded without hesitation, "We can fight fire with fire. We will use the same tactics to acquire Joy Corp, just like what they tried with us. We can establish our own brand in Seechertown. If it's a success, this will turn into a valuable investment."

He chuckled and said, "Let's start working on the plan and put it on the agenda as soon as possible. We'll make sure Joy Corp is kicked out of Seechertown."
