Fang Yanxi, who arrived at the company early today, sat in her office chair, her jade-like hand supporting her forehead. Her face was haggard, and her eyes were tired as she looked at the company's stocks on the computer screen, which had already plummeted by twenty percent.
Her secretary, Lin Xiaoqi, walked in. Fang Yanxi finally put down her hand. "How is it? What did President Zhao say?"
Lin Xiaoqi shook her head and sighed. "He's still unwilling to compromise!"
Fang Yanxi's willow brows knitted tightly, and she gritted her teeth. Lin Xiaoqi said angrily, "President Fang, they want to take advantage of our misfortune. Even if our company is struggling, we can't sell the mall at such a low price!"
It turned out that with the continuous plunge of Fang's Group's stock market these past two days, even though Fang Shoushan had sold off his villa and assets, and borrowed funds from several old friends like Mao Tong to save the market, it was like a pebble thrown into a river, barely making any ripples.
Therefore, Fang Yanxi had taken it upon herself to sell some of the company's subsidiaries to raise funds to save the market.
However, now that the business world saw Fang's Group on the verge of bankruptcy, other magnates were taking advantage of the situation, driving down prices to acquire Fang's Group's assets.
Facing such a situation, Fang Yanxi clenched her fists, filled with anger but unable to express it.
As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes. Since Fang's Group was facing such a crisis, if they couldn't find a way to raise funds to save the market, at most by tonight, the stock would drop another five percent, and then everything would be over.
"Agree to him. Sell a portion of the equity at forty percent."
Finally, Fang Yanxi sighed and chose to compromise.
Lin Xiaoqi sighed. "Then I'll invite President Zhao and the others over for negotiations..."
Fang Yanxi sat limply on her chair, her beautiful face filled with fatigue and unwillingness in her eyes.
Because she had no other choice.
"Teacher, let me take a look at Fang's Group. According to the current trend, this company probably won't make it through tonight!"
In Wan Yunting's examination room, Jiang Wenhao and his secretary Lucy had thoroughly investigated the crisis Fang's Group was currently facing.
It could be said that this was a company facing bankruptcy at any moment!
"Moreover, their shareholders are selling off their shares and most of their subsidiaries. This is a losing business!" Jiang Wenhao said.
"That's why I asked you to come back and help," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Teacher, you're too kind."
Jiang Wenhao chuckled. In his eyes, a company like Fang's Group was merely a mid-to-low-tier company.
"But Teacher, I still don't quite understand why you want to help this company."
Jiang Wenhao looked at him puzzled and said, "We've already launched the 'Chaoting' plan to invest capital in China and build the Chaoting empire. Why should we help such a small company?"
The so-called 'Chaoting' plan was a plan that Wan Yunting and Jiang Wenhao were about to launch in China to create their commercial empire!
"Because their president, Fang Yanxi, is my classmate!" Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Fang Yanxi, such a familiar name..."
Jiang Wenhao raised an eyebrow and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I remember now, she's your university sweetheart?"
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded.
"Oh my, no wonder you'd take on such a loss-making deal, Teacher. It's all for your girlfriend," Jiang Wenhao said with a teasing smile.
Wan Yunting gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you know what to do now?"
"Understood. I'll personally go to Fang's Group then."
Jiang Wenhao stopped talking nonsense, got up, and prepared to leave with his secretary Lucy and bodyguard.
"Wait a moment, I'm not finished speaking yet."
Wan Yunting stopped him and said, "Remember, don't let her know that I sent you!"
"Why?"
Jiang Wenhao didn't understand. "This is a great opportunity for you to show your girlfriend."
"No need. Just help them under your name," Wan Yunting said, waving his hand with a smile.
Because he knew Fang Yanxi was a strong-willed woman. If she knew that he had sent Jiang Wenhao to invest in Fang's Group, she would likely object and directly refuse.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Jiang Wenhao didn't understand, but it wasn't his place to question these things.
"Also, take the opportunity to acquire the Wang Group!" Wan Yunting added.
"Wang Group? Isn't that your second brother's wife's family business?" Jiang Wenhao was taken aback.
"Yes, I want to make their Wang family kneel and beg my second brother!" Wan Yunting's eyes were sharp, and he sneered.
Wang Group, Chairman's Office!
"Mr. Lin, for the sake of our years of friendship, lend me three hundred million."
At this moment, Wang Anrong was like a grandson, calling an old friend for help. The other party coldly sneered, "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, but your company is a bottomless pit right now. Even if you invest more money, it will be useless. So I'm powerless to help. You're on your own."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, hello..."
Wang Anrong was so angry he wanted to smash his phone and cursed, "These scoundrels! They called me brother when there was money to be made, but when they encountered difficulties, they all ran faster than rabbits. It's infuriating."
"Chairman, the bank is calling for repayment," the secretary walked in and said.
"No money, tell them to wait," Wang Anrong waved his hand and cursed.
But the secretary said, "Manager Meng said that if the money isn't repaid tomorrow, he'll have the court sue us!"
"What."
Wang Anrong's eyes widened, and he trembled with anger. "Bastards, everyone is pushing me..."
The secretary said with a worried expression, "Chairman, our stocks have been falling recently, and the shareholders are very dissatisfied. Some executives like Mr. Xu have even started selling their shares. If this continues, our company will face not just a liquidity problem, but bankruptcy!"
"Scoundrels, do they want me to jump off a building before they're satisfied?" Wang Anrong slapped the table in anger, his face contorted in rage.
Facing such a critical situation, the shareholders not only failed to find solutions but instead thought about selling their shares, like rats abandoning a sinking ship, all to save themselves without any regard for sentiment.
Similarly, at Fang's Group, in the reception lounge of Fang Yanxi's office, several general managers were already seated. They were President Zhao of Zhao Group, President He, and President Fei.
These general managers were from companies in the same industry as Fang's Group, which was why they proposed acquiring Fang's Group's subsidiaries to strengthen their own groups.
"President Fang, here is the contract. Take a look."
President Zhao handed the acquisition contract in his hand to Fang Yanxi.
Following that, President He and President Fei also handed over their acquisition contracts. Fang Yanxi looked at President Zhao's contract and her brows furrowed. "Thirty-five percent? President Zhao, didn't we agree on forty percent this morning?"
"Heh heh, President Fang, you said this morning, but now it's noon."
President Zhao chuckled. "With the current rate of decline in Fang's Group's stocks, you probably won't make it through tonight, so the price naturally has to change!"
"You..."
Fang Yanxi's pretty face turned grim, her eyes cold, and she trembled as she held the acquisition contract. She hadn't expected these people to try and squeeze the acquisition price even at this moment. It was more shameless than taking advantage of misfortune.
Similarly, President He and President Fei also lowered their acquisition prices and said with a smile, "President Fang, every minute you delay now, the price changes. So I advise you to sign the contract quickly, and we'll transfer the funds to you immediately so you can use it to save the market!"
Secretary Lin Xiaoqi, standing by the side, looked at Fang Yanxi's increasingly cold expression, knowing that she was extremely unwilling in her heart to sell so many of the company's assets cheaply to these shameless people.
However, what they said was true. The company's stock was continuously falling, and she didn't have a single minute to waste.
Finally, Fang Yanxi gritted her teeth, picked up the pen on the table, and prepared to sign the contract...
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and the person who entered was Jiang Wenhao...
