"President, what should we do? Although we have clarified to the media that the acquisition of Leng's is just a rumor from the outside world, Leng's stock is now plummeting. Moreover, our partners can no longer hold back and have proposed to terminate the contract.
"
The general manager was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and was completely helpless.
Leng Jingtian also looked gloomy and horrified, "Contact all partners and hold a meeting. If they want to terminate the contract, Leng will never show mercy. The liquidated damages that should be compensated must be paid in full."
"Yes, I will contact them immediately." The general manager left the office in panic.
Leng Jingtian frowned. Who could be behind the scenes? And who could be so bold as to acquire Leng's company?
A group as large as Leng's is not something that ordinary companies can just acquire if they can.
"Is there any news?" Leng Jingtian dialed the phone.
"Not yet. This person's identity is very secret. It's impossible to find out who is spreading this news. I'm afraid this person has a lot of background."
The person investigating for Leng Jingtian also encountered difficulties.
"No matter how big his background is, I still need to know who he is." Only by knowing who the other party is and what his starting point is, can he take corresponding measures to deal with it.
Now Leng Jingtian is basically in a passive situation of being beaten...
"Give me a few more days, maybe I can find out who the other party is," obviously, the person on the phone was not very sure.
"I only give you one day. What I want is not maybe, should, these words. I want to find out who he is." Leng Jingtian's tone became a little more serious. He got angry and hung up the phone, with a flash in his eyes.
I feel anxious and my mood is even more chaotic...
****Partner meeting.
Leng Jingtian looked coldly at the partners present who had been working with Leng for a long time.
"Everyone... I think the purpose of inviting you here today is already clear to everyone. Colleagues here, this is not the first day you have cooperated with Leng's. Our funds and credit have never let you down. This time
Leng's was slandered by unknown people and maliciously spread the news of Leng's acquisition, which indeed caused some turmoil in Leng's stock. However, the cooperation case with you will not be affected at all as long as you do not terminate the contract easily. Of course,
If any of you insist on terminating the contract, I will not force it."
Leng Jingtian's tone was very sharp and cold, and veins could not help but bulge on his forehead.
The partner's purpose of terminating the contract is obvious. They would rather pay liquidated damages now than take greater risks and lose more in the future after Leng's company changes hands.
Even if Leng gets a part of the liquidated damages, if Leng doesn't pay for the projects himself, the major projects will be at a standstill, otherwise the funds invested in the early stage will be wasted.
This is not a small sum, especially assuming that many partners terminate their contracts, Leng's may fall into an unprecedented predicament. Not only will it suffer heavy losses, but it may actually be acquired by a powerful company...
However, Leng Jingtian is absolutely arrogant. He will not insistently plead with these partners to continue their cooperative relationship. Because he knows very well that there is no human touch in the mall. Even if you plead, it will be useless. The partners think it is not profitable.
They don't joke about money.
In this regard, Leng Jingtian will not accuse the partners of being ruthless. Everyone is like this. Cooperation can bring benefits, so it is a pleasure to work together. If there are losses, then everyone is like a bird in the forest.
After the disaster, they each flew away...
"President Leng means...not to prevent us from terminating the contract, right?"
One of the partners spoke first.
"Yes, I won't stop it, but you can't give me any less of the liquidated damages that should be compensated. Moreover, I have to pay all the liquidated damages on the day of termination of the contract."
This move is quite unique to him.
As a result, many partners may not be able to pay liquidated damages for a while, so they can only put aside the matter of terminating the contract for the time being.
"ah……"
"Isn't this a little too inhumane?"
"Even the liquidated damages are not a small amount!"
Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, all the partners started whispering to each other, and in an instant, the conference room felt as if a pot had exploded, with a roar...
Leng Jingtian's ink-colored pupils were like an abyss, so dark and suffocating.
He didn't talk about favors to them, but they talked about favors to him! Leng Jingtian's cheek showed a deep contempt, "When it comes to favors, I'm cold, but I'm afraid I can't compare to the ruthlessness of some of you.
You know very well that every case of cooperation with our Leng family is to get you money to get soft. Now that Leng family has encountered a situation, you can't hold it back one by one and are eager to get rid of it. Such a partner will be in the future.
If you are included in Leng's blacklist, there will be no chance of cooperation."
"I'm afraid there will be no chance for cooperation, right? If Leng's company changes to a new owner, the company's rules and regulations will inevitably undergo a big change. By then, we will suffer even more losses."
One of the partners made a disdainful sound, and his tone was very determined, as if the contract was terminated.
Leng Jingtian's face became even more ugly when he heard this, "Manager Zheng..." He called to the general manager.
"Yes, President, what are your orders?"
The atmosphere of the entire meeting was very unusual, and seemed extremely tense...
"Handle the contract termination for this gentleman." They don't want such a partner.
"Tch! Who cares about cooperating with your Leng family? Now who doesn't know that the Leng family will soon be unable to survive!" The collaborator was dissatisfied with Leng Jingtian's tone of "kicking him away" and began to attack Leng Jingtian.
"Sir, please pay attention to your words. This way, please..." The general manager also spoke sternly, but still politely asked him to go out.
At this time, Leng Jingtian's face was calm, but there was gloom surging on it.
"Whether Leng can hold on, it doesn't seem to have much to do with you anymore?" Leng Jingtian's voice instantly became several degrees colder, and he slowly escaped from his lips.
The calmer he is, the greater the danger he hides. "Do you still want to terminate the contract? Let's handle the relevant matters with Manager Zheng."
The tone became more and more gloomy and cold, and the eyes that scanned them became extremely sharp, like an eagle.
Suddenly, there was another burst of whispers and whispers in the conference room.
"I think Mr. Leng really can't hold on any longer, so we'd better terminate the contract."
"Yes, yes...I think so too."
"Don't be so impatient. Let's take a look before talking! President Leng has always done things in a measured way. Besides, who has the ability to acquire a large company like Leng's?"
There were two sides in the conference room, and some partners were still willing to continue working together.
Leng Jingtian's eyes became extraordinarily deep. As he watched the partners stand up and go to terminate the contract with the general manager, he couldn't help but feel that this time the Leng family might really have a change...
However, no matter what, he cannot let the Leng family be acquired by others. This is an ancestral business and cannot be destroyed in his hands.
****"How many companies have terminated their contracts in total? How much of the company's existing funds are left?"
Afterwards, Leng Jingtian and the general manager summarized.
"Six companies have terminated their contracts. Including their termination fees and the company's existing funds, the total is about 800 million yuan." The general manager reported seriously.
Leng Jingtian frowned, "Eighty million is not enough for us to continue these six cooperation projects."
"President, why don't we temporarily suspend a few projects and wait until our stocks rebound and we have sufficient funds to continue." The general manager suggested.
"No, the project must continue. Taking stock of the real estate in my name, except for a villa on the beach and the yacht, the rest can be sold. I think the funds here are enough for us to continue these projects, and
, we must reserve enough funds to absorb the scattered stocks sold by investors. I am worried that if someone really wants to acquire Leng's, they will definitely start with our stocks." By then, when the equity in hand reaches a certain level, then you can legitimately move in.
Lengshi...
"President, do you have to do this? Selling the villa, I'm afraid..." The general manager hesitated, seeming to think that this plan was inappropriate. At the same time, he suddenly felt that Leng's family was really in crisis this time.
"Yes, it must be done! However, it must be done secretly! We cannot let media reporters capture the news and exaggerate it. Then, it will become more and more difficult for the Leng family..."
Leng Jingtian was extremely determined.
The general manager was still a little hesitant.
"Follow my instructions, the sooner the better!" Leng Jingtian urged.
Helpless, the general manager could only follow orders.
Leaving behind a villa and a yacht on the beach has special meaning to Leng Jingtian...
The seaside villa was considered his and Wen Yin's "wedding room". Once, he thought about being with her there forever! That cruise ship, they had what he thought were beautiful memories there.
Leng Jingtian stood at the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window, her sight becoming unfathomable, as if filled with countless sorrows.
If one day, he really loses everything, will she still be by his side? Leng Jingtian tugged her lips slightly, and her face was filled with deep depression...
"Wen Yin..."
Uncontrollably, he called her name on his lips, as if he was extremely reluctant to leave her.
If that day comes, I'm afraid he won't keep her by his side and suffer with him.
He took out a small box from his suit jacket and opened it to reveal a pink diamond of about ten carats. Under the bright sun, it reflected the sparkling light and was dazzling.
This diamond ring had been left on him for a long time, but he never took it out to give it to her... He was afraid that he would never have the chance to give it to her in the future, so he put it back in his pocket and tugged on it tightly.
At this moment, I have a strong feeling that I want to see her and hold her right away, because maybe I won't have the chance in the future.
Leng Jingtian did not hesitate and immediately walked out of the office...
