One big and one small are practicing love

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Kunmin closed his eyes and leaned back on Liu Xiaochen's bed, rubbing the swollen and sore forehead, feeling tired, weak, and uneasy.

I had a good beating with Li Zhiming, and now my whole body aches. I couldn't sleep last night due to jet lag and fantasy. The sun is already shining brightly in Beijing at this moment, and it’s only around 4 o’clock in the morning in the UK. I should be sleeping deeply but I can’t.

Various chaos intertwined, leaving Zuo Kunmin with a headache and confusion. Thinking of the cooling oil that Liu Xiaochen often applied, she always kept one in her pocket, bag, and bedside drawer. Thinking about it, I sat up, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and saw a red Longhu cooling oil in the corner.

Pick it up, open the iron cover, smell the cool mint smell, and feel refreshed both physically and mentally. I saw that only half of the yellow paste was left inside, and the middle of the paste was dented, revealing a silver iron bottom the size of a mung bean.

Zuo Kunmin followed Liu Xiaochen's example, rotating his index finger several times and applying it to his temples.

I closed my eyes again, leaned back on the bed and took a deep breath. Soon I felt a numbing coolness, and my mind gradually became clearer. I still can't help but think about her and worry about her.

Zuo Kunmin asked the person in charge of the company for information and learned that the listing project she was going to do now had a very abnormal workload, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it. Having been immersed in the shopping mall for many years, Zuo Kunmin knows that this kind of work is far beyond the physical and psychological endurance of ordinary people.

Because Zuo Kunmin has experienced such moments countless times, he can better understand the damage and cost involved. Even though you know this path, if you can walk through it and gain strength from it, it is another kind of transformational growth. But if you can't get over it, it will be a profound injury that will make you unable to recover.

He would rather she didn't have that power. However, he couldn't stop her. Just like the path he wanted to take back then, neither his parents nor his lover could stop him.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was movement outside the house, and Zuo Kunmin got up and went out.

It was Aunt Zhang who brought the chef and ingredients to cook.

"Two less dishes, Xiaoxiao is leaving." Zuo Kunmin said to Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang nodded and said: "Okay, would Changchang want to eat steak? I'll fry it for her."

"I'm jet-lagged and still sleeping. You cook it for her. On the way back, she kept saying that she wanted to eat the steak you cooked."

After a few words of explanation, the chef and Aunt Zhang went to work.

Having said that, I suddenly thought about what Liu Xiaochen had for lunch. During the Chinese New Year, many shops in Beijing were closed, and she was a very careless person. When she heard the noise on the phone just now, she thought she was making instant noodles at the train station, or eating some fast food such as bread or rice balls. .

Then she thought of taking a train to Hangzhou, and found out that the train station and the farm were far apart and the transportation was inconvenient. The few times she occasionally lost her temper in the past were all because she couldn't find the road while driving.

Help her a little longer, and then muster up the courage and confidence to let go and let her go on her own.

After lunch, Zuo Kunmin went to the airport with Bian Chang and the children. After more than ten hours of international long distance, they finally arrived in London, England.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zuo Kunmin received a call from Chen Qingyan.

"Mr. Zuo, I know you have just traveled a long way to the airport and need to rest. But there is something urgent and you need to come to the company as soon as possible." Chen Qingyan sounded anxious.

Zuo Kunmin was walking at the airport. The ringing in his ears had not yet subsided. He asked nervously: "What's going on?"

"I have just received internal information from the government. Three British companies have filed a lawsuit with the Ministry of Commerce against Chutang Electrical Appliances for anti-dumping. We may be in big trouble."

Zuo Kunmin suddenly stopped and stood quietly for a while in the crowded airport. After a long while, he said calmly: "I know, I'll go there right now."

After that, he hung up the phone and looked at Bian Chang and the children. He forced a smile and said, "Changchang, I have an urgent work to deal with now. Please take Yanyan and Xiaoxu back to rest first."

Bian Chang glared at Zuo Kunmin and said dissatisfied: "Workaholic! You haven't had a good sleep in almost a week. Take a rest as soon as you're done."

"I understand." Zuo Kunmin nodded, took a deep look at the children, then quickly left with his suitcase and took a car straight to the company.

The sky was gloomy again, it was raining lightly, and the wind was blowing strongly. I can’t tell whether it’s morning or evening, autumn or winter or spring or summer, let alone where I am.

Zuo Kunmin stared out the window blankly, feeling like a vagabond. He was running around all day, tired of life and death, and didn't know where to go to find true stability.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Zuo Kunmin asked Chen Qingyan to learn about the situation.

It was learned that three local British home appliance companies of the same type, aware of the competition from Chutang, joined forces to sue the Ministry of Commerce. It is still in the prosecution stage, and the British Ministry of Commerce has not yet stated whether to file a case. Based on Chen Qingyan’s past understanding of such cases in the UK, the Ministry of Commerce will definitely file a case.

Now, whether they respond is key. Prepare as early as possible to minimize losses.

If not, it will withdraw from the international market and the London acquisition will be terminated.

If so, there will be endless lawsuits. If we can win the lawsuit, we will be able to gain a foothold in the international market. If it fails, it will not only waste money, time, and energy in vain, but will eventually withdraw from the international market, accompanied by the humiliation of losing international dignity.

After understanding the situation, Zuo Kunmin quickly summoned senior executives and legal department staff to hold a meeting immediately to study response plans.

Before the meeting, Zuo Kunmin changed his casual clothes into a white shirt and a black suit, and washed his face with cold water. He took out the Dragon Tiger brand cooling oil from his pocket and applied it to his temples and between his eyebrows. He smelled the cool mint scent and his anxious mind calmed down a little.

When the meeting began, Zuo Kunmin sat in the middle of the long conference table majestically and sternly. After briefly explaining the situation, he said nothing and watched their heated speeches coldly.

After listening quietly, Zuo Kunmin summarized two different opinions from many speeches.

The first category is not subject to litigation. The reason is that the domestic market in the early Tang Dynasty was very good, and domestic sales profits were higher than export sales. We took advantage of this to stop and sell the newly acquired British ck company as soon as possible.

This saves you the heavy financial burden and endless energy consumption caused by litigation. Secondly, it avoids the huge risk of uncertain outcome.

The second category is responding to litigation. The reason is that this is the only way for Chu Tang to enter the international market, unless Chu Tang permanently withdraws from the international market. Moreover, not to file a lawsuit is tantamount to acknowledging the nature of dumping in the early Tang Dynasty.

After hearing everyone's intention, Zuo Kunmin immediately stopped speaking and said in Cihou's voice: "Don't discuss it anymore, let me say a few words."

As soon as he finished speaking, the intense and lively conference room suddenly became quiet. The eyes of more than thirty people turned to Zuo Kunmin, holding their breath and waiting for him to speak.

"We must respond to the lawsuit, and we must organize the strongest forces in the early Tang Dynasty to do our best to respond to the lawsuit and ensure the victory of this lawsuit to the greatest extent." Zuo Kunmin's tone was calm, and his dark, bright eyes were as blazing as an eagle. Burning and sharp.

In the silence, Chen Qingyan raised his hand to speak and said: "As far as I know, we are not the first company to be sued for anti-dumping by them. Companies that were sued before almost all ended in failure, or gave up halfway because they could not afford the cost. "

Zuo Kunmin sneered and said relaxedly: "Then we have to respond."

"why?"

Zuo Kunmin raised the cold coffee in his hand, raised his head and took two big sips, and spoke slowly.

"First, our Chutang production technology, production equipment, products, etc. are better than theirs in terms of energy saving, environmental protection, intelligence, etc. Letting more consumers use our products will be more beneficial to nature, society, and consumers. And not just us making more profits.

Second, the UK is a country ruled by law, and litigation requires legal basis. Our accounting information is complete and credible, and various legal systems are complete. Our Chu Tang can withstand inspection by any country and any institution.

Third, anti-dumping litigation is the only administrative barrier allowed by international trade organizations. When our company is sued, we can only rely on legal means to prove ourselves. If we give up, we will lose not only the 'international market', but more importantly, the responsibility that Chinese enterprises should bear to safeguard national dignity. "

After a long talk, everyone in the conference room brightened their eyes and nodded silently.

"Okay, Mr. Zuo, we'll do it with you." One person suddenly shouted, and others responded, "Okay, let's do it together."

Zuo Kunmin quietly exhaled a long breath, pursed his lips and smiled.

"Since everyone agrees to respond to the lawsuit, let's get ready. I will make further arrangements tomorrow and adjourn the meeting." After that, Zuo Kunmin stood up and strode away.
