After Huang Jingming was transferred back to Xiangjiang, Zhao Heng moved to the more spacious general manager's office and sat in his dream seat. However, now he felt that the chair under his butt was very hot and it was very uncomfortable to sit on.
He also watched the program broadcast by Yunzhou Provincial TV Station yesterday evening online. After watching it, he was completely confused, especially since he, as the person in charge of Fuji Auction, appeared in it. Although he was slapped on the face
The mosaic was removed, but it still made him feel frightened and restless.
He contacted Xu Ming immediately and asked what to do, but the message he got was that he should wait.
He had been waiting for nearly a day and had not received a call from Xu Ming. This made him anxious and called Xu Ming again. However, as soon as the call was connected, he was hung up immediately.
On the other side, Xu Ming hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in the chairman's office of Galaxy Industrial with an embarrassed expression. He was silent. Also with him was Li Changhe.
Sitting opposite them was Xu Zhenbang, the chairman of Galaxy Industries and Xu Ming's father.
Xu Zhenbang's cheeks are slightly thin, and his hair on the temples is slightly white, but his warm eyes imply sharpness and insight.
"The board of directors has already studied it, and the result of the discussion is divestment." Xu Zhenbang said in a low voice.
"Withdraw capital?" Xu Ming suddenly raised his head with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, divestment! Now the reputation of Fuji Auction Branch has been completely ruined. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a street rat. There is no possibility of growing. Fortunately, the provincial TV station also has a sense of proportion and has not affected our Galaxy Industry. Take this opportunity
, naturally it is a strong man to cut off his wrist and sever ties with Fuji Auction to avoid getting burned."
"But, divestment..."
Xu Ming felt extremely bitter. Once the capital was withdrawn, it would mean that Galaxy Industrial would suffer huge losses and complete failure. It would be another failure for him.
"Chairman, I handled this matter improperly." Li Changhe stood up and sighed.
"Okay, now it's not important to discuss right or wrong. There are still many things to deal with before divestment. Besides divestment, there is one more thing to do. I just got the news that Xue Chen went to the court to file a lawsuit. The defendant is
Among the investors in Fuji Auction, before divestment, the defendants naturally included us, Galaxy Industries."
"Suing? He actually sued, he's really going too far!" Xu Ming gritted his teeth and said bitterly. Now he wanted to eat Xue Chen alive!
"Because of the program broadcast on the provincial TV station, the court will not easily dismiss the lawsuit because of our relationship with Galaxy Industry. They are worried about provoking some leaders in the province, but they must not let him sue before divestment, otherwise the divestment will be
Legal disputes will become complicated and troublesome, and the longer the divestment is delayed, the greater the group's losses will be."
Having said this, Xu Zhenbang looked at Xu Ming and said slowly: "You should be familiar with that Xue Chen. You can handle this matter. Find a way to reconcile with that Xue Chen and ask him to withdraw the lawsuit. It doesn't matter even if you spend some money.
, Don’t lose big for small things.”
Xu Ming had a dull head and a dark face, asking him to take the initiative to find Xue Chen in person to reconcile was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
Xu Zhenbang saw that Xu Ming was unwilling, and his expression became serious, and he sternly scolded: "For a momentary dispute, the group suffered huge losses. How can I safely leave the group to your management if you look like this? Let's reconcile this matter.
, you must handle it well and don’t cause any further problems, otherwise don’t come back to see me!”
Seeing that his father was angry, Xu Ming had no choice but to nod his head with difficulty. He also knew in his heart that two projects he was responsible for had major problems, and his father was already under a lot of pressure from the board of directors.
Xu Ming returned to his office, pinching his temples with both hands, feeling like his head was about to explode. Especially when he thought of his father's instructions, he felt even more depressed.
He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't bring himself to see Xue Chen, because he couldn't suppress his anger in front of Xue Chen, and he was worried that he would be angry, and in that case, things would only get worse.
"My dignified heir to Galaxy Industry actually wants to reconcile with a small appraiser!"
Xu Ming was very annoyed, but also helpless. He decided to take a roundabout way and use some social relations to send a message to Xue Chen to withdraw the lawsuit.
He thought for a while, and four people who were relatively close to Xue Chen appeared in his mind. One of them was Ning Xuanxuan, but he had no intention of contacting Ning Xuanxuan because he knew Ning Xuanxuan's character and could not help him. , will only scold him severely.
In addition, Daxing's boss Shen Wanjun can contact Shen Wanjun through connections and let Shen Wanjun convey his wishes.
Then there is Wang Dong. He knows that Wang Dong is Xue Chen's good brother.
The last one is Qi Hu.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Ming picked up his cell phone and dialed.
…
After submitting the indictment, Xue Chen waited for the notice from the court, and no longer had to worry about being chased and intercepted by reporters.
When he arrived at Zhuo Zhuo Antique Shop, Fatty Wang punched him with a smile on his face: "The matter is finally over."
Xue Chen also felt particularly relaxed in his heart. The feeling of being wronged was really unpleasant, especially when it was difficult to distinguish, and it was even more frustrating. Fortunately, everything was over.
"By the way, Lao Xue, let me tell you something. Baozhai Antique Shop has reopened." Wang Dong said.
"We're not going to continue selling at 50% off, are we?" Xue Chen said. He estimated that Xu Ming had too much to take care of himself now, so he definitely couldn't continue to squeeze out the outstanding antique store.
"No more tricks, it's interesting to say. I thought that because Baozhai had a 50% discount sale and reopened, it must be very popular, but it's strange. I stared at it for a long time. Not only were there fewer customers, but also The transaction rate is also low, and I haven’t seen many orders completed.” Wang Dong touched his chin.
Xue Chen thought for a while and said, "This reminds me of a story I read."
"what story?"
"The rich and the beggar. It's about a rich man who would give a hundred yuan to a beggar at the door of his mansion every day without interruption. Later, the rich man's business had problems, so he only gave the beggar ten yuan a day. The beggar caught the rich man. The beggar’s arm asked why the price had changed from one hundred yuan to ten yuan, and the rich man told him the reason, but the beggar refused, saying that it was the rich man’s own business, and he could not give less to himself.”
After Wang Dong heard this, he blinked his eyes and said, "I understand a little bit. Customers heard that Baozhai Antique Shop was selling at a 50% discount, so they came to buy. Now that they find that the original price has been restored, they will definitely feel unhappy. I feel that if they buy now , I suffered a loss. If it were me, I would rather buy from another store at the same price than choose Baozhai, so I would feel more comfortable."
"That's pretty much what it means."
"Old Xue, do you know why Baozhai stopped selling at 50% off? I heard that a clerk from Baozhai let it slip when chatting with others. It was Xu Ming who didn't give Zhou Baofu the compensation he deserved, not even a penny. , Zhou Baofu suffered a huge loss and had to pay at least 500,000 yuan, so he really deserves to have a heart attack." Wang Dong spat.
"So that's the case, no wonder."
Xue Chen held the teacup in his hand and rubbed it back and forth with one hand. Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, "Dongzi, Baozhai tricked us once, we can't just let him go."
"Old Xue, what do you mean?" Wang Dong asked confused.
"Didn't he lose half a million? Then let him make matters worse and try to drive Baozhai out of Sandao Street. Even if he can't be driven out, we will make him vomit blood! We also sell at a reduced price, but we don't need to reduce the price by 50%.
It's okay to reduce the price by 30%, as long as we don't lose money," Xue Chen said solemnly. Baozhai Antique Shop teamed up with Xu Ming and Xu Liang to deal with him. Now that he is in trouble, he doesn't mind stepping on him hard.
After hearing Xue Chen's idea, Fatty Wang slapped the table: "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's do it like this."
Fatty Wang acted very quickly. On the same day, an eye-catching red banner was hung in front of the excellent antique store, saying that it was the first anniversary of the store's opening, a big thanksgiving, and 30% off sales in the store.
The Zhuoyue antique store was already very popular. After Baozhai stopped selling at 50% off, its popularity quickly picked up. As soon as the banner was hung up, there were more customers.
Especially some old customers who knew Xue Chen would go to antique shops and take away one or two items after seeing the program on TV.
Many of them were customers who had not caught up with the 50% off sale at Baozhai Antique Shop. As soon as they saw the 30% off sale at Zhuo Zhiguo, they rushed over immediately, fearing that they would not seize the opportunity like last time.
As a result, the business of Zhuo Zhuo Antique Shop suddenly increased, and it was even more prosperous than before.
Xue Chen sat on the second floor and saw the customers coming in and out of the store through the window. He felt unexpectedly happy in his heart. He didn't look away until his cell phone rang.
The caller was Shen Wanjun, who told Xue Chen straightforwardly that Xu Ming had found him through connections, and told Xue Chen that Xu Ming wanted to reconcile and hoped that he would withdraw his appeal.
"Xue Chen, I'm calling you. I have no intention of interfering with you. You can make your own decision on whether to reconcile or withdraw the appeal. No matter what you do, I will support you." Shen Wanjun said.
Xue Chen hung up the phone and started thinking: "You want to reconcile with me and let me withdraw the appeal?"
He didn't know why Xu Ming did this for a while, but he grasped one thing, that is, withdrawing the appeal must be very important to Xu Ming!
Otherwise, given Xu Ming's character, he would only think of ways to severely retaliate against himself after repeatedly causing him to stumble. How could he take the initiative to reconcile? There must be reasons that he didn't know.
Less than half a day later, he received another call from Qi Hu. Xu Ming also entrusted a good friend of Qi Hu to pass the message to Qi Hu, which further confirmed Xue Chen's thoughts.
"Withdrawing the appeal, what's the trick in this?"
Just when Xue Chen was thinking about it, Wang Dong climbed up the stairs and sat opposite him.
"Old Xue, let me tell you something." Fatty Wang touched his head and said.
Xue Chen glanced at Wang Dong, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to tell me about the lawsuit against Fuji Auction?"
Wang Dong immediately opened his mouth and asked in disbelief: "Old Xue, how do you know? You must be a great fairy, right?" (To be continued)
