Chapter 95: Rebuilding the Glory and New Scenery

Dai Shiya took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress her inner panic, and said as calmly as possible: "Everyone, I need to deal with an emergency, so I'll have to excuse me for a moment." After that, she quickly walked out of the meeting room, leaving everyone in the meeting room looking at each other in bewilderment.

After leaving the conference room, Dai Shiya immediately dialed the caller's number and asked in a hurried tone: "What's going on? Explain it in detail!"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Miss, after investigation, we found that the second master has been privately transferring the company's assets recently, and the amount is huge..."

Dai Shiya clenched her fists tightly, with a sharp cold light flashing in her eyes. She had actually expected that things would not be too peaceful within the family, but she did not expect that things would happen so quickly. She quickly calmed down and decisively ordered: "I understand. Don't alarm the enemy for now, continue to investigate secretly, collect relevant evidence, and deal with it after I return."

After returning to the conference room, Dai Shiya's expression had returned to normal. She looked around and said seriously, "Everyone, what happened just now made me realize more deeply that if a family business wants to achieve development, it must innovate and maintain unity! We can't always hold on to the glory of the past, but we must have the courage to embrace change!"

She slammed the plan in her hand on the table, pointed at the data and analysis on it, and said in a firm tone: "This plan was developed by Wei Qing and I after careful consideration and extensive research. I firmly believe that it can lead the family business out of its current predicament and recreate its glory!"

"But, Dai Shiya, your plan requires a huge investment of money, and now we..." a conservative member said with difficulty.

Dai Shiya was of course aware of the current financial situation of the family business, but she had no intention of giving up. "I will find a way to solve the problem of funds." Her tone revealed an unquestionable firmness, "Everyone, I have made up my mind, and I hope you can support me!"

The conference room suddenly fell into silence, and everyone felt the powerful aura emanating from Dai Shiya. They knew that this young heir of the family was ready to face all challenges.

Finally, the family meeting ended in a solemn atmosphere. When Dai Shiya walked out of the meeting room, Wei Qing immediately came up to her and asked with a worried look on her face, "How was it?"

Dai Shiya shook her head helplessly, sighed softly and said: "It's more difficult than I thought..."

After the meeting, Dai Shiya began to implement her plan without stopping.

However, the reality was far more cruel than the plan. If the family business wanted to completely reverse its current decline, it needed a large amount of capital injection. Dai Shiya visited banks one by one and contacted investment institutions one by one, but she was blocked everywhere. The credibility problem left over from the family business was like an insurmountable mountain, standing in front of her, making it difficult for her to move forward.

"How is it? Any progress?" Wei Qing asked with concern as she looked at the exhausted Dai Shiya.

Dai Shiya shook her head in disappointment, threw the documents in her hand weakly on the table, and said with a wry smile: "It's still the same as always. As soon as they heard that it was our Dai family's project, they refused it without even looking at the proposal."

"Don't be discouraged," Wei Qing comforted, "Let's think of other ways. There will always be a way."

"A solution..." Dai Shiya muttered to herself, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Seeing her friend's lost look, Wei Qing secretly made up her mind. She took out her mobile phone, dialed one number after another, and mobilized all her connections to find new hope for Dai Shiya.

A few days later, Wei Qing brought a piece of news.

"I found several potential investors. They are very interested in your plan, but..." She paused, looking a little hesitant.

"But what?" Dai Shiya asked anxiously, with a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"They... they put forward some conditions." Wei Qing took a deep breath and said, "They want to participate in the management of the company and have a larger stake."

Dai Shiya fell silent. She understood what Wei Qing meant. These investors had obviously seen the current predicament of the family business and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits.

"What are the specific conditions?" Dai Shiya asked after a long time, without a trace of emotion in her tone.

Wei Qing handed her a document that clearly listed the investors' demands: in addition to a high rate of return, they also demanded two board seats and the right to veto the final decision...

Dai Shiya flipped through the documents page by page, her face becoming more and more solemn. These conditions were too harsh, almost equivalent to handing over the family business to someone else.

"Shi Ya, you..." Wei Qing looked at her worriedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Dai Shiya put down the documents, raised her head, and looked determined: "Qing, give me their contact information, I want to talk to them." Dai Shiya knew that the compromise at this moment was to be able to fight back better in the future. She contacted the investors introduced by Wei Qing and started a long and arduous negotiation. During the negotiation, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and argued with reason. In the end, she successfully obtained this crucial investment at the cost of giving up part of her equity and a board seat.

After the funds were in place, Dai Shiya immediately launched her revival plan. She first reorganized the company's internal structure, cut some redundant departments, streamlined the management level, and thus improved operational efficiency. Then, she focused on product research and development and marketing, actively introduced advanced technology, improved product quality, and vigorously explored new market channels.

Dai Shiya took care of everything herself, working until late at night every day. Her efforts and dedication gradually paid off. The family business began to recover gradually, the business scope gradually expanded, and the market share also steadily recovered. A positive atmosphere permeated the company, and the employees rekindled their hope for the future.

Wei Qing watched all this and felt happy for her friend. She knew that Dai Shiya's success was not accidental, but was the result of her extraordinary wisdom and perseverance.

"Shiya, you really did it!" On a rare day off, Wei Qing and Dai Shiya were chatting in a cafe, her tone full of admiration.

Dai Shiya smiled faintly: "This is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go." She understood that the road to revival of the family business had just begun and the challenges ahead remained severe.

The fact is just as she expected. Just when the family business was about to return to its glory, a new competitor appeared. This technology company called "Galaxy" was aggressive. They adopted more advanced technology and business model, quickly seized market share, and posed a new threat to Dai Shiya's family business.

Xinghe's products not only have leading technology, but also lower prices and better services, which quickly won the favor of consumers. Dai Shiya's family business was at a disadvantage in terms of price and technology, and its market share began to be gradually eroded.

"Xinghe Company..." Dai Shiya frowned as she looked at the market research report in her hand. The report showed that Xinghe Company had risen at an astonishing speed. In just a few months, it had become a leader in the industry. Their technology and business model were beyond the reach of family businesses.

Wei Qing also realized the seriousness of the problem. She suggested: "Shiya, we have to find a way to deal with it. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Dai Shiya nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "I understand. We will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow and we need to study this Galaxy Company carefully."

The next morning, Dai Shiya called together the company's top management for an emergency meeting. The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, and everyone felt the tremendous pressure from Xinghe Company.

"Everyone," Dai Shiya said in a steady tone, "The rise of Galaxy Company is a huge challenge for us, but it is also an opportunity. We must carefully analyze their strengths and weaknesses, learn from their advanced technology and management experience, and combine our own advantages to find a breakthrough."

The meeting lasted for several hours, with everyone expressing their opinions and finally reaching a consensus: to conduct in-depth research on Galaxy's business model, learn from its advantages, innovate their own model, and meet the challenge again.

After the meeting, Dai Shiya sat alone in the office, looking at the sky gradually brightening outside the window. She picked up her phone and dialed a number... "Please arrange it for me. I want to meet with the CEO of Xinghe." Dai Shiya hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and looked determined. She was not a person who gave up easily. Although the appearance of Xinghe brought pressure, it also aroused her greater fighting spirit.

In the next few days, Dai Shiya led the company team to start intensive work. They collected a lot of information about Xinghe Company, from product design, technology research and development, marketing to customer service, and analyzed every detail one by one.

"Their product updates and iterations are very fast, and they pay great attention to user experience." The marketing manager pointed to the data in the report and said, "Our products are obviously lagging behind in this regard."

The technical director also added: "Their technical architecture is very advanced and uses a lot of the latest technologies. We still need to strengthen our learning and introduction in this regard."

Dai Shiya listened carefully to everyone's speech and wrote down their opinions one by one. She found that Xinghe Company not only had advanced technology, but also had extremely sophisticated marketing methods. They used various new media platforms for promotion and paid great attention to interaction with users, quickly accumulating a large number of loyal users.

"Their marketing strategy is very successful. We should learn from their strengths and stop sticking to the traditional marketing model," Dai Shiya concluded at the meeting. "We need to develop a new marketing plan, use the Internet platform to strengthen interaction with the younger generation of consumers, and increase brand awareness and user stickiness."

The entire company felt Dai Shiya's determination and courage, and they began to take positive action and devote themselves to this new challenge. The R&D department worked overtime to tackle technical problems, the marketing department formulated a new marketing strategy, and the customer service department also strengthened user services and after-sales support.

However, Galaxy's offensive continued. They continued to launch new products and services and stepped up marketing efforts, quickly seizing a large share of the market. The family business's sales were bound to decline, which made some people in the family feel uneasy.

"Shi Ya, we can't go on like this! Xinghe has already taken away a lot of our market share. If we continue like this, the company will be dragged down by them sooner or later!" An elder said in a heavy tone at the family meeting.

Dai Shiya remained silent, her eyes sweeping over everyone present...
