Chapter 325: The First Cross-Border Expedition: Breaking the New Path and Embarking on a Journey
Wen Nuan sat in the project preparation office, her eyes scanning the piles of documents on the table, but her mind was blank.
The professional terms and complex data of the new industry seemed to be intertwined into a thick fog, which surrounded her invisibly and made her unable to know where to start.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her inner tension still made her fingers tap on the table involuntarily.
However, Wen Nuan soon realized that the depression did not come from the information itself, but from the fear of a new and uncertain future.
She raised her head and the sunlight shining through the window reminded her of Mo Han's determined gaze and supportive words. This warmth made her feel a little comforted.
At this time, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open and industry expert Wang walked in.
He showed disdain and said doubtfully, "Manager Wen, I really don't think the Mo family will cross over into this industry."
Wen Nuan did not immediately refute his question, but instead gave him a sincere smile.
She stood up, walked over to industry expert Wang, and said sincerely, "Expert Wang, I really don't know enough about this industry. Could you please give me some advice? Your opinion is crucial to our project."
Industry expert Wang was obviously moved by the warm attitude.
He had expected a direct counterattack, but he didn't expect the other party to be so humble.
He coughed lightly, nodded, and said, "Since you said so, I'm happy to offer you some advice."
The two then began to discuss in depth the characteristics of the new industry. Industry expert Wang analyzed the opportunities and challenges of the current market from a professional perspective, while Wen Nuan listened carefully and offered his own opinions from time to time.
As the conversation deepened, the fog in Wen Nuan's heart seemed to dissipate a little.
She experienced a new kind of confidence, which was not blind, but grew calmly from exploring and learning the unknown.
By the end of the discussion, industry expert Wang had lost his initial hostility and even expressed admiration for Wen Nuan's courage and attitude in overcoming difficulties.
Before leaving, he gave Wen Nuan a meaningful look, making her realize that this was just the beginning, and in the near future, she would face even more difficult tests.
Wen Nuan walked back to her desk, her fingers habitually stroking the documents on the table, her eyes firm and clear.
She took a deep breath and whispered to herself, "Whether there is fog or clear sky ahead, I will do my best." At this moment, Mo Han's gentle and firm call came from outside the window.
Wen Nuan smiled slightly, and a sense of strength rose in her heart. She anticipated the challenges brought by cross-border cooperation, and the real journey was about to begin.
Wen Nuan returned to the office and found an anonymous email lying quietly in her mailbox.
The email contained some information about the inner workings of the new industry, detailing the industry rules, unspoken rules, and some unknown secrets.
The emergence of these materials was like clearing away the fog and revealing the light, allowing Wen Nuan to have a clearer understanding of this unfamiliar field.
She was keenly aware that this information was crucial to her next steps.
Although she didn't know who provided the information, she was filled with gratitude and became more determined to achieve something in this industry.
With a direction in mind, Wen Nuan immediately contacted potential partner Li Qian.
However, the other party's attitude was extremely cold, and his words were full of arrogance and disdain.
Not only did he express doubts about the cross-border expansion of the Mo family enterprise, he also put forward a series of harsh cooperation conditions, almost squeezing out all the profits of the Mo family enterprise.
"Manager Wen, although the Mo family is wealthy and powerful, they are still newcomers in our industry. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to show sincerity." Li Qian said to his partner in an arrogant tone with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Wen Nuan suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to remain calm.
She knew very well that if this cooperation failed, it would be a huge blow to the cross-border projects of the Mo family enterprise.
She argued and tried to convince the other party, but Li Qian's partner remained unmoved and even made more unreasonable demands.
"Mr. Li, we really cannot accept your conditions." Wen Nuan's tone was firm, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
"Then there's nothing more to talk about." Li Qian sneered at his partner and stood up to leave.
Just then, Wen Nuan's phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Mo Han.
She took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Hey, Mo Han..."
"Wen Nuan," Mo Han's voice was deep and powerful. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
On the other end of the phone, Mo Han's voice suddenly stopped, leaving Wen Nuan alone in the office, clutching the phone tightly in her hand, with a complex look in her eyes...
Wen Nuan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and suppressed all the negative emotions.
Li Qian's partner's arrogance made her realize that relying solely on sincerity and enthusiasm was not enough, and she needed to come up with stronger bargaining chips.
She returned to her desk and reorganized all the information she had collected before, carefully analyzed the advantages of the Mo family's business, and combined it with the current situation of the new industry to develop a new cooperation plan.
This plan not only fully takes into account the interests of both parties, but more importantly, it highlights the unique advantages of Mo's enterprise and its potential for future development.
The next day, Wen Nuan met with Li Qian's partner again.
This time, she did not beg in a humble manner, but confidently put the new plan in front of the other party.
Li Qian looked disdainful at his partner at first, but after he read the plan carefully, a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman actually possessed such a sharp business mind and strong negotiation skills.
"Manager Wen, this proposal really impressed me." Li Qian's tone in front of his partner was noticeably more relaxed. "It seems that I underestimated the strength of the Mo family enterprise."
Wen Nuan smiled slightly and did not get carried away by the other person's transformation.
"Mr. Li, we all hope that this cooperation will be a win-win situation. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create greater value in this industry."
In the following days, Wen Nuan and Li Qian held several consultations with their partners on the details of the cooperation.
Although there were still some differences during the process, both sides showed great sincerity and finally reached an agreement.
At the same time, although Mo Han could not directly participate in the project, he would send Wen Nuan a bouquet of flowers every day.
Looking at the colorful flowers in the office, Wen Nuan's heart was filled with warmth and strength.
She knew that Mo Han had been silently supporting her, which made her more determined to succeed.
One afternoon, Wen Nuan was busy in the office when she suddenly received a call from headhunter Liu Rencai.
"Manager Wen, I've found a very suitable technical director. He's very experienced and very knowledgeable about this new industry..."
Before Wen Nuan had time to be happy, the headhunter Liu Rencai's voice suddenly became hesitant.
"But... he used to work for an established company..."
Wen Nuan's heart sank, and she felt a little uneasy.
Before she could ask in detail, she heard hurried footsteps outside the office, and then the secretary ran in in a panic.
"Manager Wen, Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang is here!"
Wen Nuan was slightly shocked, knowing that the arrival of Zhang, the CEO of a well-established enterprise, was not necessarily good news.
She responded calmly and asked her secretary to invite Mr. Zhang into the conference room.
In the conference room, the CEO of Zhang's old company smiled, but a hint of coldness lingered. "Manager Wen, I heard that your Mo family company has been expanding into other industries recently. That's quite bold."
Wen Nuan smiled faintly and responded nonchalantly, "Thank you for your attention. We are working hard to adapt to challenges and opportunities."
However, Zhang, the CEO of a long-established enterprise, was in no hurry to exchange pleasantries. As the conversation progressed, he began to indirectly mention various rules in the industry and the extensive network of contacts he had, seemingly conveying some kind of threat.
Wen Nuan realized that he was using this opportunity to put pressure on her and try to hinder her cooperation with potential partners.
After leaving the meeting room, Wen Nuan was not intimidated by Mr. Zhang's threats. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this new industry, she had to adjust her strategy and actively seek breakthroughs.
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with Mr. Zhang's obstruction, an idea came to her mind.
Wen Nuan decided to go to the industry association of the new industry and try to break the situation through official channels.
On the way to the industry association, Wen Nuan couldn't help thinking that the industry association is a huge network, full of political games and undercurrents, and every conversation there has the potential to have a significant impact.
She didn't know what was waiting for her, but she understood that moving forward courageously was her only choice now.
Arriving at the door of the industry association, Wen Nuan paused, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the heavy glass door.
She went straight to the front desk and confidently asked, "Hello, I want to discuss something about the new industry with the person in charge."
The receptionist smiled politely and said, "Ms. Wen, please wait a moment, I will arrange it for you." As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Nuan saw a strange yet familiar figure walking towards her from the other side of the industry association. The person seemed to be very interested in her appearance.
Wen Nuan raised her chin slightly, a firm and calm expression on her face.
She knew that no matter what secrets were hidden in this industry association, she was ready to go all out to fight for a foothold of her own.
Just as Wen Nuan was resolutely moving towards the unknown challenge, the vibration of her cell phone broke the brief silence.
She picked up her phone and saw the name of Liu Rencai Headhunter flashing on the screen. A gust of wind suddenly swept through her heart, as if foreshadowing a new change.
"Hello, Mr. Liu," she answered the phone with a hint of imperceptible expectation in her tone.
