Chapter 1974: Sending Charcoal in the Snow

The core members of the Hong family surrounded Mrs. Hong, looked down at the share purchase agreement, and were fascinated by the numbers on the agreement.

Although this price is not worth mentioning compared to the valuation of the Hong Group a month ago, it may be less than one percent.

However, after this month of bloody storms, Hong Group's sales plummeted, and its valuation also shrank sharply.

Coupled with the imminent claim lawsuit, the Hong Group is indeed hovering on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation.

Seeing such a share purchase agreement at this time is like sending charcoal in a timely manner, making it difficult for many people to resist this temptation.

"Guo Huining! You cheated on the inside! You actually colluded with outsiders to frame our Hong Group! I won't let you succeed!" Mrs. Hong was furious, and threw out the share purchase agreement.

The white A4 papers were scattered in the court, and fluttered and landed on the auditorium not far away.

Gu Nianzhi stretched out his hand, caught several purchase agreements, and looked at them curiously.

Guo Huining tilted his head, avoiding those sharp A4 papers, without changing his smile, and said, "Mrs. Hong, don't say such old-fashioned things. What era is it now, and you are still colluding with outsiders... You are still in the feudal era Old Lord Feng?"

She used to be very envious of Mrs. Hong's ability and aura, and she also imagined that she would become someone like Mrs. Hong in the future.

It's a pity that Mrs. Hong mercilessly kicked her out of the Hong Group where she had worked for many years, shattering her dream.

"Don't dare to take it." Mrs. Hong lowered her face, "Guo Huining, don't you know what you did in our Hong family? We didn't spare you to deal with you, so you really pretended nothing happened?"

Guo Huining laughed, "Old Madam Hong, I'm waiting for you to clean me up. But before you clean me up, let's pay the claim amount..."

The joy of victory danced in her eyes, and the relatively plain facial features became vivid.

When the claim amount was mentioned, these core members of the Hong family suddenly became nervous.

They all began to persuade Mrs. Hong: "...Old Ancestor, let's sell the shares, at least we can get some money back."

"Look here, as long as we sell 80% of the shares, the other party will bear all our debts!"

"In addition to getting cash, we also hold 20% of the shares!"

"Yeah, yeah! Old Ancestor, if you persist, you will really only be liquidated and bankrupt..."

"At that time, the shares in our hands were just a few pieces of waste paper!"

Guo Huining, with his hands behind his back, listened with great interest.

The behavior of these people was exactly as she expected.

She had said earlier that most of the core members of the Hong Group were idiots, except for Mrs. Hong who was surprisingly shrewd.

But Mrs. Hong's shrewdness alone cannot resist the stupidity of the whole family.

The elderly in their 80s still have to continue working, and she is required to take the lead in making major decisions.

The electric car project this time is too new, Mrs. Hong is really powerless, so she completely delegates power to Guo Huining.

Guo Huining was not without regrets.

She didn't want to do this either. She devoted her youth and blood to the Hong Group, and her affection for the Hong Group was no worse than that of the Hong family.

But Mrs. Hong just didn't like her and refused to accept her.

Under the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Hong's shriveled body became more and more bent, like a pine and cypress finally bent by the heavy snow, leaving only an old appearance, no longer a sense of vigor.

The joy in Guo Huining's heart cannot be described in words.

Just when these people were about to convince Mrs. Hong, Guo Huining slowly took out another agreement, put it in front of the Hong family, and said with a smile on his face: "Before signing the share purchase agreement, please sign this exemption agreement first. Only when the liability exemption agreement takes effect, the share purchase agreement you signed will take effect."

Mrs. Hong was indeed very tired. She even wanted to take this opportunity to sell the Hong Group.

None of her descendants can take on such a big job, they can only sit at home and collect money to live on.

Such a big company, when she dies, will soon be tossed to pieces by this group of unworthy descendants...

This is also one of the reasons Mrs. Hong is eager to go public overseas.

She wanted to take the opportunity of overseas listing to clean up the group's management structure again, introduce a professional manager system, and let members of the Hong family gradually withdraw from the group's management and only be shareholders who received money.

Just now, being surrounded by these family members and forcing her to sell the shares, she was really disheartened and wanted to sign and sell them.

Guo Huining picks up on things inside and out, and will settle the score with her after she settles the company's affairs.

But now I saw Guo Huining throwing out another waiver agreement.

Mrs. Hong put on her reading glasses, took the waiver agreement and read it.

After reading only a few lines, Mrs. Hong couldn't help being furious. She rolled the liability exemption agreement into a ball, threw it at Guo Huining's face, and said angrily, "You want us to give up on holding you accountable?! Be yours!" Daydreaming!—You don't want me to sign!"

"I'm not going to sell it! It's a big deal bankruptcy and liquidation!"

Mrs. Hong got into a fight with Guo Huining.

Guo Huining dodged to the side, avoiding the waiver agreement thrown by Mrs. Hong.

Gu Nianzhi quickly stood up in the auditorium, grabbed the ball of paper, sat down and opened it to read.

It turned out that this waiver agreement was actually an agreement that Guo Huining asked the shareholders of the Hong Group to renounce their responsibility for her.

In other words, if the Hong family wanted to sell their shares, they had to sign this waiver agreement, guaranteeing that they would not sue Guo Huining for what he did in the Hong Group in the future.

And only when this waiver agreement takes effect, the acquisition agreement of Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund will take effect.

In this way, she doesn't have to worry that the Hong Group will sue her for commercial espionage.

Gu Nianzhi clicked his tongue twice, and said softly to Lu Jin: "...Guo Huining is a law student after all, so he protects himself quite well..."

It's a pity that she only protects her own interests, and ignores the interests of others.

Guo Huining looked at Mrs. Hong mockingly, like watching a flying insect struggling to death in a spider's web.

She dared to be the chief legal counsel of Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund and personally presided over the acquisition of the Hong Group. How could she stand up without additional guarantees?

This waiver agreement is the sincerity shown by Pacific Rim Private Equity to her.

Lu Jin let out a chuckle, thinking that it should be time, he took out his phone and looked at it.

Just then, the phone dinged and an email came in.

Lu Jin hurriedly swiped open his phone and opened his mailbox, and sure enough, he saw the long-awaited email.

Regardless of carefully reading the contents of the email, Lu Jin handed the phone to Gu Nianzhi like a treasure, and said with a smile, "Nianzhi, look, this is the first trick!"

Gu Nianzhi was a little puzzled, so he looked at Lu Jin's phone with Lu Jin's hand.

What is displayed on the phone is a letter of authorization from the State Intellectual Property Office!

The big "Huaxia Empire State Intellectual Property Office" is written on the head!

Patent number: 202810295609.1. Issue number: 2028025825006262.

Patentee: Lu Jin.

Invention Name: High-power and low-cost battery for electric vehicles.

...

Gu Nianzhi looked up suddenly, looked at Lu Jin in disbelief, and said in surprise, "...Dad, you applied for a patent?!"

Lu Jin nodded with a smile, and said casually: "...Your side is too backward, and my real invention can't be released now, so I modified it, reduced the function of the battery by 80%, and then applied for a patent. Don't worry. , which is only three times more powerful than the best electric car battery you have here."

"And at one-third the cost."

Gu Nianzhi was so excited that he suddenly opened his arms, hugged Lu Jin, and whispered in his ear, "Dad, you are so amazing!"

It's great to have such a dad!

What Lu Jin wanted was Gu Nianzhi's reaction.

He happily patted Gu Nianzhi on the back and said, "There is a second trick, do you want to watch it?"

Gu Nianzhi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes!"

As Lu Jin said, he forwarded the patent authorization notice from the State Intellectual Property Office to the technical director of Raft.

In less than a minute, the technical director of "Raft" impatiently replied to Lu Jin's email.

There is only one sentence on it: "...just make an offer!"

Lu Jin showed the email to Gu Nianzhi and said, "The second trick."

Gu Nianzhi looked at it for a long time this time before he understood, and said: "...This is the company that was infringed by the Hong Group and claimed huge sums of money from the Hong Group?!"

Lu Jin nodded, "That's them."

"Do you have any business dealings with them?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously.

Lu Jin smiled and said, "Of course we didn't have any relationship before. I'm nothing here, why would they talk to me?"

"But now it's different, I have a patent and they're crying and screaming to do business with me."

"That's right." Gu Nianzhi nodded thoughtfully, "You really didn't have anything before, how could they negotiate terms with you..."

"That's right." Lu Jin was not angry at all, and said frankly, "You have to be strong to be valued by others. I didn't bring those things with me, the only thing I brought was my mind and knowledge."

"Now I'm going to use knowledge to create wealth."

His first pot of gold, of course, came from his inventions.

"How did you think that the first patent was an electric vehicle battery?" Gu Nianzhi flipped through the follow-up email sent by the technical director of "Raft".

"I haven't thought about it, it's just a coincidence." Lu Jin shrugged indifferently, "For me, choosing which patent to apply for is the most troublesome."

"Fortunately, Guo Huining reminded me that I should be the first to apply for a patent on electric vehicle batteries. Anyway, you are quite behind."

Gu Nianzhi has gotten used to Lu Jin's speaking style, but he still feels that Lu Jin's speech is very embarrassing.

"Dad, you have such an obedient tone when you get cheap..." Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded at Lu Jin, "To be honest, I quite like it."

Lu Jin was quite nervous at first, and was worried that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't like him talking like that, but later he became complacent.

Holding his mobile phone, he replied to the email of the "Raft" technical director.

It took a little longer for the other party to reply this time, but it only took ten minutes.

"……make a deal!"

Lu Jin handed the phone to Gu Nianzhi again, and said, "Now, I'll do the third trick for you."

Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin's cell phone, it was an email from the CEO of "Raft".

They agreed to the conditions put forward by Lu Jin, and voluntarily reduced the amount of claims for out-of-court settlement with the Hong Group, limited to paying one year's patent fee and 5% interest.

This is like the gap between 100 million and 100,000 yuan, which is a world of difference from the sky-high compensation proposed before.

Not far from the front left, Mrs. Hong was threatened for a long time by members of the Hong family, Guo Huining and Dou Aiyan, but she refused to let go.

Just when these people wanted to press her hand to sign the purchase agreement, someone broke through the crowd, came to Mrs. Hong, and said a few words to her.

Mrs. Hong's dry, orange-peeled face suddenly lit up, "What did you say?! 'Raft' took the initiative to lower the claim amount?!"

"Yes, our company is willing to reach a settlement with Ms. Hong. This is our claim amount, please take a look."

Madam Hong looked down at the legally binding claim amount, her hands were shaking with excitement.

Only this claim stated that it only needs to pay the patent fee for one year plus 5% interest!

Compared with the previous claim amount, it seems that it has dropped from 100 million to 100,000. For the Hong Group, it is like rain after a long drought.

The Hong Group was saved!

Madam Hong suddenly laughed loudly.

She waved the statement of claim in her hand at Guo Huining, and said with a big smile, "Guo Huining, wait to receive my Hong Group's lawyer's letter!"
