My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 642 No Good Intentions

“Somebody wants to take over Sunshine Corporation?” Nan Xing exclaimed. “Ouyang Duo failed to take over Nanshi Corporation, and his own company is taken instead?”

“Ouyang Duo set his sights on Nanshi Corporation, and others can have theirs on Sunshine Corporation,” Nan Zhengde postulated. “This is normal. Perhaps they have been eyeing them for a long time and were merely waiting for the right moment. Ouyang Duo’s rash and failed attack on Nanshi Corporation has given them the perfect opportunity to do so. This is karma at its finest.”

“In that case, why don’t we take advantage of the situation and perform a hostile takeover of Sunshine Corporation?” Nan Xing suggested. “Ouyang Duo intended to take over Nanshi Corporation, didn’t he? Since we have now defeated him, why don’t we press home our advantage?”

Nan Zhengde exchanged a glance with Nan Chen before motioning for the latter to explain.

“Have you heard of Coke and Pepsi?” Nan Chen asked his brother.

“Of course I have. How can I not know about the world’s two famous carbonated beverage companies? Do I look that stupid?” Nan Xing was displeased.

“There was once an executive of Coke who tried to sell Pepsi a huge trade secret that was enough to threaten Coke’s position. However, Pepsi disclosed the matter to Coke, implying to its competitors that there was something wrong with them internally. The thing is, Pepsi is Coke’s biggest competitor. Do you know why Pepsi did that?”

Nan Xing shook his head. “I don’t.”

“Pepsi’s top management believed that it was because of the existence of competitors that filled them with a sense of crisis. That’s why the company has been going strong for a hundred years. If their only competitor collapsed, they alone would dominate the market. Without a competitor, they would have no sense of crisis and slowly regressed.”

Nan Xing understood. “Oh, so it’s equivalent to the catfish effect.”

“That’s right. Grandpa often told me this story before I became CEO, and I still remember it. Because of Ouyang Duo’s watchful eyes, I was always filled with that sense of crisis, and that’s why Nanshi Corporation has maintained steady growth. Nanshi Corporation would have no more rivals in the province if I took the opportunity to take over Sunshine Corporation. Who would I compete with then?

“Moreover, Sunshine Corporation is immense. It has undergone a series of blind expansions in recent years and contains many hidden dangers. If I take over, it may not help Nanshi Corporation improve but will instead be a liability. Being unprepared for mergers and acquisitions is like forcibly swallowing a piece of half-cooked food. Not only can it not be digested, but it will also damage your body.

Corporation, how am I different from Ouyang Duo? Others will not think it’s due to my wolfish ambition like his. They’ll say it’s a plan I’ve laid out long ago. Though I could short-sell Sunshine Corporation and make a fortune just to prove that
