Chapter 346 Overseas Expedition: First Risky Journey, Unfulfilled Aspirations
After the strong air current passed, the plane finally landed safely.
Wen Nuan and his group arrived in a strange country.
As soon as I got off the plane, the humid and stuffy air with an exotic atmosphere hit me in the face, making me feel dizzy.
The strange language and strange faces made her feel like she was on an isolated island.
The employee of Zhao Haiwai who came to pick him up at the airport seemed extremely nervous. He stammered as he reported the recent changes in the investment environment, his words full of fear of Li Haiwai's competitors.
This competitor is ruthless and has considerable influence in the local area.
Wen Nuan forced herself to cheer herself up and comfort Zhao Haiwai's employees and other members of the team.
She knew that she could not show any fear at this moment and had to demonstrate absolute confidence and control.
After arriving at the hotel, Wen Nuan immediately called everyone to a meeting to analyze the current situation.
Wang Financial Analyst's exchange rate report was on the table. Although the data was imperfect, Wen Nuan keenly captured some overlooked details.
She pointed to several fluctuations in the report and said in a deep voice, "These abnormal fluctuations are not random. There must be some pattern behind them."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion; they had not noticed these details before.
The warm analysis was like clearing away the fog, allowing them to see a glimmer of hope.
In the next few days, Wen Nuan ran non-stop between various government departments and financial institutions.
The language barrier and cultural differences made her run into obstacles everywhere.
The attitude of local official Zhang was ambiguous, and his words were full of tentativeness and perfunctory, which made Wen Nuan realize that it would not be easy to gain his support.
The performance of Sun’s overseas agent also made Wen Nuan suspicious.
He always spoke evasively, intentionally or unintentionally leading Wen Nuan into the trap set by his competitors.
Wen Nuan observed all this calmly, and gradually formed a judgment in her heart.
Late at night, Wen Nuan was alone in the hotel room, looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, and an indescribable loneliness and helplessness surged in her heart.
She picked up the phone and wanted to call Mo Han, but put it down again.
She knew that Mo Han must be running around for her at this moment, and she didn't want to make him worry.
"It seems that this battle is more difficult than I thought." Wen Nuan whispered to herself, with a glimmer of determination in her eyes.
"But I won't give up!"
The next morning, Wen Nuan changed into a smart professional suit and smiled confidently at the mirror.
"Lee," she said to herself in the mirror, "the game has just begun." She picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Please help me arrange it. I need to meet... someone completely unexpected."
Wen Nuan did not play according to the routine expected by Li Haiwai's competitors.
Li predicted that Wen Nuan would first try to smooth things over and win over local officials. He had already arranged for people to interfere and wait to see Wen Nuan make a fool of herself.
However, Wen Nuan bypassed the government departments and conducted in-depth research in the local market.
She disguised herself as "Winnie" and traveled through the streets and alleys as an ordinary tourist, experiencing the lives of the locals in depth and observing their consumption habits and market demands.
Li's overseas competitor's spies reported that Wen Nuan did nothing all day and was running around like a headless fly. This made Li feel a little proud, thinking that Wen Nuan was nothing special and could not be defeated at all.
However, the warm "wandering" is not without purpose.
She keenly captured some market details that were overlooked by Wang Financial Analyst and Zhao Overseas Employee.
She found that the locals had a great demand for a fruit called "Kasa Fruit". This fruit is rich in nutrients and has a unique taste, but due to backward preservation technology, production is limited and the price remains high.
If advanced preservation technology can be introduced and the scale of Kasa fruit cultivation can be expanded, it will bring huge business opportunities.
In addition, Wen Nuan also found that the local handicraft market has great potential, but due to the lack of professional packaging and promotion, it is difficult to enter the international market.
If these handicrafts can be beautifully packaged and promoted through e-commerce platforms, a new world will be opened up.
These findings made Wen Nuan very excited.
She realized that she had found a unique investment path, a shortcut that could bypass the interference of Li's overseas competitors and directly grasp the market pain points.
Wen Nuan immediately contacted the domestic team and reported her findings and ideas to them in detail.
The team members were impressed by Wen's insight and decisiveness, and they immediately began to conduct a feasibility study.
Late at night, in the warm hotel room, the light from the computer screen shone on her tired face.
She rubbed her sore eyes and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Lee," she whispered to herself, "you think you know me, but you're wrong. This is my true identity."
She picked up her phone and made a video call to Mo Han.
After the call was connected, Mo Han's concerned voice came: "Wen..."
"Shh," Wen Nuan made a silent gesture, with a mysterious light flashing in her eyes, "I have a surprise to tell you..."
Wen Nuan smiled at Mo Han on the screen, her tired expression revealing a sense of determination.
"I found a breakthrough." Mo Han looked at the light flashing in her eyes and felt distressed.
"You are too tired. You should get enough rest." His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of imperceptible worry.
A warm current surged in her heart. Mo Han's support and understanding were her greatest motivation.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She smiled casually, "Wait for my good news."
After the call ended, Wen Nuan immediately called a meeting of team members to deploy the next action plan.
She decided to split her team into two groups. One group would continue to conduct in-depth research on the market situation of Kasa fruit, look for suitable partners, and introduce advanced preservation technology; the other group would contact domestic design teams, design packaging for local handicrafts, and build an e-commerce platform to prepare for online promotion.
Zhao Haiwai employee was assigned the task of negotiating cooperation with local kasa fruit plantation owners.
However, due to his lack of experience, he made a serious mistake during the negotiation process - he revealed Wen Nuan's true identity and investment intentions to the other party.
This news soon reached the ears of Li's overseas competitors, and Li immediately realized that Wen Nuan had found a breakthrough.
He smiled sinisterly and decided to take the opportunity to interfere and snatch Wen Nuan's investment project.
Li's overseas competitors secretly contacted the owners of the kasa fruit plantations, offered a higher price than Wen Nuan, and promised to provide more favorable conditions.
Moved by Li's generosity, the plantation owner decided to cooperate with Li and gave up his intention to cooperate with Wen Nuan.
When Zhao Haiwai learned about this, he was immediately panicked and quickly reported the situation to Wen Nuan.
"What?" Wen Nuan's face turned pale in an instant. She stood up suddenly and dropped the coffee cup in her hand heavily to the ground, with fragments flying everywhere.
"He actually dared..." The flames of anger burned in her warm eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Notify all team members and hold an emergency meeting immediately!" Her tone was cold, with an unquestionable majesty.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.
Zhao Haiwai's employees lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Wen Nuan's eyes.
The other team members looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Now, tell me, how much time do we have left?" The warm voice echoed in the conference room like ice.
"At most... at most three days..." Zhao Haiwai's employee's voice was trembling and almost inaudible.
"Three days..." Wen Nuan repeated the number, with a cold glint in her eyes.
"Three days is enough." She raised her head sharply, her eyes sweeping across everyone present, her tone firm and forceful, "I won't let anyone take my project away from me!" She picked up the phone and dialed a number...
"Hey, it's me... Help me arrange it, I want to see... the king!"
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
Instead of blaming Zhao Haiwai’s employees for their mistakes, it is better to find ways to remedy the situation.
She calmly analyzed the current situation and realized that the actions of Li's overseas competitors were exactly what she wanted.
She deliberately spread the word that she was no longer interested in Kasaguo's investment projects and began to focus on other areas.
This news soon reached Li's ears. Li was fooled and relaxed his vigilance, reducing his control over the kasa fruit plantation owners.
Wen Nuan took this opportunity to contact the plantation owner again and went to the plantation to inspect it in person.
She did not directly mention the previous cooperation intention, but sincerely expressed her interest and respect for the kasa fruit planting industry.
She humbly asked the plantation owners for advice on planting techniques and market conditions, and shared her experiences and insights from visits to other countries.
Wen Nuan's sincerity and professionalism won the respect of the plantation owner. He began to re-examine his cooperation with Li and realized that Li's promises were not reliable, and Wen Nuan was the truly trustworthy partner.
At the same time, Wen Nuan also began to secretly investigate the behavior of Sun's overseas intermediary.
She discovered that Sun did have a secret connection with Li and had accepted bribes from Li.
Wen Nuan did not alert the enemy, but instead took advantage of the situation and used Sun to pass false information to Li, disrupting Li's vision.
Just when Wen Nuan thought everything was under control, a sudden phone call broke the peace.
On the other end of the phone, financial analyst Wang's voice was anxious and flustered: "Wen Nuan, something bad has happened! The exchange rate..." Before he could finish his words, the call was suddenly disconnected, leaving only a harsh busy tone.
My warm heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over me.
She held the phone tightly, her face pale, and muttered to herself: "How could this happen..." She immediately dialed the number of Wang, the financial analyst. However, a cold mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off..." Her warm heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She stood up suddenly, grabbed her coat, and rushed out of the room...
"Prepare the car! Go immediately..." She spoke in a hurried tone, with a hint of panic that was hard to conceal.
