“Mr. Zhang, the ‘Immortal’ game is under heavy attack from numerous cheats and is now on the brink of collapsing. It needs at least a hundred million in cash support.”
Zhang Xiaohui was furious when she heard the news, “What’s going on?
The general manager delivered his well-thought-out explanation.
Looking terrified, he said, “Our product is too popular, which has caused a lot of envy from our competitors.
Those cheats were definitely their doing.
Their aim is to bring us down.
The more the competitors do this, the more we have to hold on.
Whoever can endure the longest will ultimately win.
An Feng also added, “Under the current circumstances, this is the only way to proceed.
We cannot afford to lose this goose that lays golden eggs.
Zhang Xiaohui nodded and told the general manager, “You may leave. I will transfer the money.”
After the general manager left, An Feng handed her a document, “Our company account is empty.
I found a reliable loan company with a very low interest rate.
We will use our two commercial buildings in the yellow zone of Magic City as collateral. We can get approximately five hundred million, which should be enough.”
Zhang Xiaohui glanced at the document.
She didn’t sign it immediately.
Instead, she asked in confusion, “How come you prepared all these in advance?”
An Feng irritably responded, “Our company account has been empty for some time.
I knew we were going to do this sooner or later, so I prepared it in advance.”
Zhang Xiaohui smiled, “You always understand me.
After reading the document and confirming that everything was okay, she signed it.
An Feng nodded, took the document, and left.
Once outside,
Ensuring no one was present, he called Jiang Xu, “Let’s move on.
“Alright,” Jiang Xu responded, “Got it, I will send the money.
After hanging up,
An Feng looked out the glass window, squinting slightly.
Meanwhile,
After receiving An Feng’s call, Jiang Xu started to make his move.
Yes, that lending company was also his.
Starting a loan company was relatively easy at that time.
In contrast, ten years later, licenses were hardly being issued.
The two commercial buildings under the Huahe Group in the yellow zone of
Magic City were not far apart.
It was just a short walk of ten minutes or so.
Both buildings were nine stories high.
The first seven floors consisted of a supermarket, a cinema, a gaming arcade, and the like.
The top two floors were converted into a hotel.
Based on the current market conditions,
One building was valued at around six to eight hundred million.
In a few years, one building would be worth at least one and a half billion.
Jiang Xu had had the five hundred million prepared for a long time.
He also prepared the contracts.
And they were quite strict.
If the loan and interest were not repaid within half a month,
these two commercial buildings would become Jiang Xu’s property.
An Feng personally handled the contract.
The Huahe Group’s stamp was also in his hands.
As long as he didn’t say anything, Zhang Xiaohui would never know.
At this point, Zhang Xiaohui had no idea that while she thought she was controlling everything,
the entire group was riddled with problems and on the brink of collapsing.
Once the contract was signed, Jiang Xu immediately had the money transferred.
At the same time, a series of previously prepared back-up plans began to unfold.
“One of Huahe Group’s supermarkets exposed for unsanitary conditions!”
“Huahe Group’s laundry detergent detected with multiple non-comphant ingredients, hundreds of consumers file joint lawsuit!”
“Scandalous photos of Huahe Group’s executives leaked!”
In a blink of an eye, a deluge of negative news washed over the Huahe Group.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaohui was in her office.
Hearing the news, her eyes narrowed coldly: “Who is trying to take us down?” An Feng said gravely, “I’ve had people investigate who the culprit is behind all this.
Right now, we need to calm the public opinion so it doesn’t escalate.
Otherwise, we’re in real danger.”
“Okay!” Zhang Xiaohui nodded, “Alright, I’ll handle this first…um…
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohui felt dizzy.
“What’s wrong?” An Feng was alarmed.
He quickly rushed over to support her.
“I’m feeling a bit dizzy, for no apparent reason.”
“It’s because you haven’t been resting properly.” An Feng scolded, “Let’s do this:
I’ll handle the public opinion.
You just stick to signing things and keeping an eye on the big picture. “My dear husband, you’re so good.” Zhang Xiaohui touched An Feng’s face, saying with great emotion.
An Feng chuckled, “We’re family, let’s not talk about this. I’ll handle the public opinion now.”
With that, An Feng got on the phone,
Giving orders smoothly for each and every situation.
For instance, to handle the executives’ scandalous photos, he paid off some people.
You’d resolve consumer lawsuits by compensating them monetarily at once.
In short, one word: money.
Zhang Xiaohui, watching An Feng handle everything, was quite satisfied.
His crisis management expertise was hardly any lesser than hers.
What Zhang Xiaohui didn’t know was,
That all these crises were whipped up by An Feng and Jiang Xu.
Moreover, the money involved flowed into the various companies that Jiang Xu owned.
For instance, the media outlet that exposed the company executives’ scandalous photos had been recently set up by Jiang Xu.
In this manner, the five hundred million lent out eventually returned back to him.
Getting something for nothing, he easily got his hands on two commercial buildings in the heart of Magic City.
In the afternoon,
“Ah, I’m so tired.”
An Feng stretched, “Finally, it’s over.”
“You worked hard, dear.” Zhang Xiaohui tenderly massaged his shoulders.
She thought that since An Feng was so competent, she should grant him more power.
“We can’t let our guard down.” An Feng said sternly, “We still haven’t found out who is out to get us.
I believe the most urgent thing now is to ensure sufficient cash flow. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks us again in the same way, we’d be unable to defend ourselves.”
“Uh-huh, you make a good point…yawn…” Zhang Xiaohui yawned, “Honey, I’m so sleepy, I want to rest now. You handle the company matters.”
An Feng: “Okay, there are a few documents here that need to be signed later, sign them first.”
“Sure thing.”
Thanks to An Feng’s recent performance, Zhang Xiaohui trusted him completely.
She didn’t look at any of the documents, and simply signed them.
And then, she went to the bedroom behind the office to rest.
Looking at the documents signed by Zhang Xiaohui,
An Feng smirked in silence.
He picked up the office phone, dialled a number: “Summon all the senior executives of the group. We have a meeting.”
Half an hour later, all the executives were present.
An Feng placed a document on the table, “Following the chairman’s instructions, I am now appointed as the group’s president. Here is the appointment letter.”
Everyone passed it around, and there didn’t seem to be too much surprise.
It was a matter of time.
An Feng continued, “In addition, those whose names I will read can now leave the company.
The corresponding severance payment will be transferred to your cards before you leave today.
Wu Erfan, Li Erfeng, Ke Zhendong, Huang Qiusheng, Fang Zhuming, Deng
Lun….”
