Chapter 676
"Lin Xiao, it's bad. Our main supplier suddenly announced that it would stop supplying goods, saying that our company's debts have not been settled." Su Yao ran over in a panic.
Lin Xiao stood up suddenly, his face gloomy: "How could this happen? Didn't we discuss this before?"
The children standing by were so frightened by the tense atmosphere that they dared not make a sound.
Lin Xiao immediately called the supplier to try to communicate: "Mr. Li, is there any misunderstanding here? We have always cooperated happily, and we will resolve the debt as soon as possible."
However, the supplier was firm in his attitude: "Lin Xiao, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that you have owed the money for too long, and I can't do anything about it."
Lin Xiao was well aware of the serious consequences of losing this supplier and decided to go to the supplier's company in person for an interview.
"Su Yao, you keep an eye on the company first, I'll go there." Lin Xiao said.
Lin Xiao rushed to the supplier's company and after some difficult negotiations, he finally persuaded the supplier to temporarily resume supply, but the outstanding debt must be settled within a week.
After returning to the company, Lin Xiao immediately held a meeting to discuss solutions.
"Finance, what is our current financial situation? Can we collect the outstanding balance within a week?" Lin Xiao asked.
The financial manager looked embarrassed and said, "Boss Lin, the company's funds are very tight right now. It's almost impossible to get them together within a week."
Lin Xiao rubbed his temples: "Sales department, can you increase sales efforts and recover funds as soon as possible?"
The sales manager said, "Mr. Lin, the market competition is fierce, and it is very difficult to significantly increase sales in a short period of time."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Su Yao proposed an idea: "Lin Xiao, why don't we consider borrowing from other companies?"
Lin Xiao shook his head: "Borrowing money is not a long-term solution, and the interest rate is too high, which will bring greater burden to the company."
At this time, some employees' discussions were heard in the company.
“Is the company going to be finished this time?”
“I don’t know if I can still pay the salaries.”
When Lin Xiao heard these discussions, he became even more anxious.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Lin Xiao said loudly, "I assure you that the company will definitely get through this difficult time!"
The children also sensibly comforted Lin Xiao: "Dad, we believe in you."
Lin Xiao was moved and became more determined to solve the problem.
After careful consideration, Lin Xiao decided to sell part of the company's non-core assets to raise funds.
"Su Yao, this is the only feasible solution at the moment." Lin Xiao said.
Su Yao hesitated: "But this will affect the long-term development of the company."
Lin Xiao said helplessly: "Let's get through the current crisis first."
In the process of preparing to sell assets, various troubles were encountered.
"Lin Xiao, the price given by the appraisal company is too low. We will suffer a huge loss." said the manager in charge of asset sales.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Talk to them again and try to get a reasonable price."
At this time, competitors took the opportunity to poach several key employees of the company.
"Lin Xiao, what should we do? They took away some important customer resources." Su Yao said anxiously.
Lin Xiao said angrily: "Stabilize the remaining employees first, and don't let this situation continue to deteriorate."
Under this series of blows, Lin Xiao and Su Yao's pressure reached its peak.
"Lin Xiao, I really can't hold on any longer." Su Yao leaned on Lin Xiao's shoulder and said tiredly.
Lin Xiao held Su Yao's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely get through it."
Just when they felt desperate, a mysterious phone call came...
This mysterious phone call made Lin Xiao and Su Yao anxious again.
"Hello?" Lin Xiao asked cautiously.
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Xiao, I can help you solve the funding problem, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Lin Xiao frowned: "What conditions?"
"I want 30% of your company's shares," the other party said.
Lin Xiao was silent. 30% of the shares was not a small amount.
Su Yao said anxiously: "Lin Xiao, you can't agree easily, this may cause us to lose control of the company."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said to the phone: "Let me think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao and Su Yao were entangled.
"Lin Xiao, if we don't accept his help, the company may really not be able to hold on." Su Yao said worriedly.
Lin Xiao paced back and forth in the room: "But if we take over, we may become someone else's puppets."
The children also looked at their parents nervously, not daring to make a sound.
After a night of thinking, Lin Xiao decided to meet with the other party for a talk.
After meeting, Lin Xiao discovered that the other party was a shrewd businessman.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" the other party asked.
Lin Xiao said: "I can agree to your conditions, but you must ensure that the funds are in place in time and cannot interfere with the company's daily operations."
The other party smiled and said: "No problem, as long as you do as I say."
With this funding, the company temporarily solved its urgent problems, suppliers resumed supply, and employees' emotions stabilized.
"Lin Xiao, I'm finally relieved." Su Yao said.
However, new problems arose.
"Lin Xiao, this new shareholder began to interfere in the company's decision-making. Many of our plans were rejected by him." Su Yao said angrily.
Lin Xiao said helplessly: "Just bear with it for now, after all, we still need his financial support now."
The children also felt that the atmosphere at home had become tense again.
Just at this time, a product similar to theirs appeared on the market, but with a lower price and better quality.
"Lin Xiao, this must be our competitor deliberately targeting us." Su Yao said.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "We must increase our investment in research and development and make products better than theirs."
However, due to the interference of the new shareholders, the R&D funds were delayed.
"Lin Xiao, this won't work. We must find a way to get rid of his control." Su Yao said.
Lin Xiao decided to unite with other shareholders of the company to fight against this new shareholder.
"Everyone should understand that if we let him continue like this, the company will be ruined by him sooner or later," Lin Xiao said at the shareholders' meeting.
After a fierce struggle, Lin Xiao finally succeeded in weakening the power of the new shareholder.
"Lin Xiao, this time it's really dangerous." Su Yao said.
However, before they had time to celebrate, another huge crisis came...
