Chapter 1972 Strong Desire to Survive

Mrs. Hong's assistant quickly went to call Gu Nianzhi again.

She knew that Gu Nianzhi had blocked her second phone number, so she had to change the third phone number, and asked another assistant to talk to Gu Nianzhi, so Gu Nianzhi didn't hang up and block her again immediately.

As soon as the other assistant heard Gu Nianzhi's voice, he immediately said quickly: "Miss Gu, I am Mrs. Hong's assistant. Mrs. Hong would like to visit you in person to apologize to you. May I ask where is your home address? If it is convenient, Mrs. Hong Come visit now."

He finished speaking in one breath, even breaking sentences.

When Gu Nianzhi heard that it was the Hong family's call again, he really wanted to hang up the caller right away.

But this assistant spoke too fast, almost like fried beans. Before she had time to hang up, the other party finished chatting.

Gu Nianzhi: "..."

Well, she felt the other party's strong desire to survive, so she could only smile and said: "It's really unnecessary, I said, it's not that Mrs. Hong offends others, your old lady doesn't stay at home and enjoy the blessings, why bother to worry about your children and grandchildren?" Running around?"

Mrs. Hong answered the phone at this time, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Gu? I really want to apologize to you sincerely, and I hope you can give me a chance, and it will be convenient."

"If your home is not suitable, we can make an appointment outside. Although I am old, I dare not rely on my old age to sell my old age. We treat each other as the same thing."

Gu Nianzhi was not disgusted with Mrs. Hong's actions, and thought that the other party was an old man in his 80s, and it was really not easy to apologize to his 20-year-old self for the unscrupulous things done by his children and grandchildren.

But she didn't want Guo Huining to hide away at all.

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Old Madam Hong, the person who untied the bell had to tie the bell. I don't need to explain this truth. Besides, Guo Huining is not even the daughter-in-law of the Hong family. If you value her so much, Why haven't she been allowed into Hong's house?"

After hearing Gu Nianzhi's tone, Mrs. Hong felt that she was quite reasonable.

Could it be that the person who attacked the Hong Group had nothing to do with Gu Nianzhi?

Madam Hong was puzzled again.

But after much deliberation, she still planned to appease Gu Nianzhi first.

The exposure of the Hong Group's electric car battery is probably related to Gu Nianzhi.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a one-in-ten possibility, maybe it has nothing to do with her...

Mrs. Hong called herself, but Gu Nianzhi still refused to meet, and of course she would not let Mrs. Hong come to her house to apologize.

Mrs. Hong had no choice but to say in the end: "Miss Gu, I understand your concerns. We are indeed wrong about this matter. I hope you can give me a chance. I sincerely apologize to you."

Gu Nianzhi laughed, "Madam Hong is serious. I hung up, and I hope you don't call me with different numbers."

Gu Nianzhi hung up the phone and threw the phone on the sofa speechlessly.

This phone number is a number she used to communicate with outsiders here, not her personal number, so many people know it.

She plans to stop using the phone for a while.

...

Mrs. Hong refused to give up and asked her assistant to contact Gu Nianzhi in many ways, but she could no longer be contacted.

But not long after, Mrs. Hong couldn't care less about contacting Gu Nianzhi, because the terms of their out-of-court settlement with the other company came out.

"...What?! So much cash compensation?!" Mrs. Hong was shocked and angry, "Did they see our account book?!"

The money the other party wanted happened to be the entire cash flow of the Hong Group, plus the sum of a loan they had just negotiated with the bank.

If the money is really lost, the Hong Group will be insolvent and await liquidation.

The wages of employees cannot be paid, because the battery was ordered by the court not to continue to infringe on intellectual property rights, and electric vehicles cannot be produced.

Even traditional car sales have been lowered by the incident.

With no income and a large amount of fixed monthly expenses, the Hong family is subsidizing the company with private housing.

One month later, the other company was unwilling to drop a penny, and said that their purpose was to close down companies that violated intellectual property rights like the Hong Group!

There is everything on the Internet for a while.

Some sympathized with the Hong Group, saying that electric vehicles were originally only a small part of the Hong Group's business, but because of this mouse droppings, the whole pot was ruined.

Some also said that the Hong Group had brought the blame on themselves, and whoever let them sneakily make fakes in order to go public overseas, and was found out, deserved the crime.

Mrs. Hong has been planning and running around for a month, and she is too old to look good, but the business of the Hong Group is going down day by day.

That night, the shareholders of the Hong Group, that is, the members of the Hong Family, returned to the Hong Mansion for dinner.

Tomorrow is the deadline for the other company to ask them to pay.

If the money is not paid, the out-of-court settlement breaks down and the parties continue to fight in court.

And as long as the court is held, the Hong Group will be supervised by the court. In order to prevent them from transferring assets, the other company even hired the most powerful accounting firm to supervise the accounts of the Hong Group.

Mrs. Hong sat at the top, watching the five big round tables in the restaurant full of people.

But everyone's faces were very ugly.

A month ago, they were full of ambition, thinking that once the company goes public, their assets will grow exponentially.

At that time, they will all be able to visit the list of the richest people in the country.

Ironically, a month later, they got together for a breakup meal.

Hong Ziqi shrank in the corner, not daring to say a word.

It was all because of him that Guo Huining acted so boldly and caused such a big disaster.

"Let's have dinner, everyone. Don't act like the sky is falling." Madam Hong said with a smile, "Even if the Hong Group collapses, you still have your own house and your own life. much better."

"At that time, we didn't have our own house, so we rented someone else's basement to live in, and we got up early and late every day to set up a stall outside to do business. The sun and rain, the wind and the rain, that kind of suffering, you don't have to suffer anymore."

She said with a smile, but the Hong family in the room couldn't help wiping away their tears.

After a while, one of Hong Ziqi's uncles whispered, "Grandmother, actually, it's not impossible."

"Oh? What way?" Mrs. Hong said flatly, "Tell me about it?"

The man stood up and boldly said: "In fact, our Hong Group has always been a high-quality industry. This time, the electric vehicle business has a problem, and it has not affected our other production lines. There are also many people who are optimistic about us."

Mrs. Hong raised her eyes and looked over, "Well, continue."

Seeing that the old ancestor didn't reject it outright, the man became bolder and said, "Since grandma didn't object, I'll say it."—We all have Hong's shares in our hands, so why don't we sell some of our shares and get more money? Isn't the cash you have in your wallet enough for an emergency?"

"That won't work! Even if we sell the shares in hand, the money will belong to us. How can we still fill this hole?"

Many Hong family members yelled in disapproval.

They don't have many shares, and most of them are dry shares, so they cannot participate in decision-making.

Currently not listed, these shares are only useful when dividends are paid at the end of the year.

Now the Hong Group is suffering serious losses and will not be able to pay dividends for a long time.

Another member of the Hong family stood up, drank a glass of wine, and boldly said: "Ancestor, I heard that someone is interested in the Hong Group, why don't we sell the company as soon as Hong's brand is still useful?" Come on!"

"Yeah, since it can't be listed, and now it's a negative equity, it's better to sell it!"

In this way, many members of the Hong family agreed.

Mrs. Hong didn't take it to heart at all.

Most of the company's equity is in her hands. She alone owns 95% of the shares, and the other 5% is scattered in the hands of the Hong family and some private equity funds, which are not considered big.

As long as she is in control and does not sell the shares in her hand, no one can take away the decision-making and management rights of the Hong Group.

But now, the shares in her hands are no longer useful. Under the pressure from the outside world, these people have already started to "rebel".

Mrs. Hong sat at the top, watching these people yelling coldly, without saying a word.

Seeing Mrs. Hong like this, most people in the Hong family still fear her.

A few thorny heads made trouble, but did not get everyone's response.

After yelling for a while, these people had no choice but to sit down resentfully, and secretly cursed Mrs. Hong, "It's a thief to grow old and not die."

A dinner was tasteless, and everyone had resentment on their faces.

...

At the same time, Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were also sitting in the dining room of their apartment, eating dinner and watching the news.

In the past month, the Hong Group has been the hot news on the cusp of the storm.

I don't know how much exposure it has, but it's a pity that it's all negative effects, and it doesn't help the company's business at all.

Gu Nianzhi said with some regret: "It's a pity, Guo Huining was kicked out from the Hong family, she is probably having fun now..."

Lu Jin scooped up a bowl of soup for her with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, the best show is yet to come."

"What else can I do?" Gu Nianzhi curled her lips, "Actually, Mrs. Hong is still lenient towards Guo Huining. She didn't take her to court for doing such a thing, but just drove her away from the Hong family." . . . I'm not convinced."

"Now the Hong Group is discussing an out-of-court settlement with 'Raft', and I heard that the amount will be paid tomorrow. It may be too late to pursue Guo Huining's legal responsibility." Lu Yuan also scooped up a bowl of soup for Song Jinning calmly.

Song Jinning and Gu Nianzhi looked at each other, buried their heads in the soup, and listened to Lu Yuan and Lu Jin discussing business matters.

Huo Shaoheng was called away by Admiral Ji at night, so he couldn't have dinner with them.

Seeing Gu Nianzhi always looking in the direction of the door, Lu Jin knew that she was looking forward to Huo Shaoheng's return, so he said sourly, "What are you looking at? Eat well, and be careful of indigestion."

Gu Nianzhi came back to his senses, hurriedly scooped up a bowl of soup for Lu Jin, held it with both hands with a smile, and said sweetly, "Dad, you drink the soup!"

Lu Jin was now happy, and said with a smile, "The amount of the out-of-court settlement just emptied out the Hong Group's working capital and a loan they just negotiated."

"Read it, follow Dad tomorrow to watch the excitement, and watch Dad do tricks for you."
