Before Wang Mudan could come to her senses, Brother Zhang hung up the phone without any hesitation, leaving her no room for negotiation.
When Wang Mudan heard the cold busy tone on the other end of the phone, her heart sank. At this moment, she experienced firsthand what it meant to be a fickle world and what it meant to be pushed down by everyone. Money was indeed the best test subject for human nature. When Mingdan Company was booming, countless relatives flocked to it. She and Si Mingda always tried their best to help them. Now that they were in trouble, they all watched coldly. It was really heartbreaking.
No matter how disappointed or lost she felt, in order to overcome the current crisis, Wang Mudan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to call several other relatives with good financial strength, and humbly negotiate with them about borrowing money.
In fact, after being rejected by Brother Zhang, who was worth over 100 million yuan, Wang Mudan had no hope for these relatives. As expected, these people usually liked to show off their wealth. When they heard Wang Mudan explain the purpose of borrowing money, they immediately became like different people, and they all complained on the other end of the phone:
"Mudan, our cash flow is very tight. I'm so sorry, but how can we come up with a loan of millions? You and Mingda are so rich, do you really need to borrow money from us? We should be borrowing money from you, right?"
"Mudan, if we had the money, we wouldn't even have to talk about interest. But we simply can't come up with that much money, so no matter how much interest you give us, it's useless, right?"
"Mudan, everyone knows that you're the rich ones. Didn't Mingda go abroad for most of last year? He must have made a lot of money, right? You've been running this company for over a decade. Do you really need to borrow so much money?"
"Mudan, for us, a few million yuan is an astronomical figure. Our entire net worth combined doesn't even reach a few million. You're really flattering us. Why would you lend us money?"
After Wang Mudan forced herself to call those wealthy relatives and friends, they all complained bitterly. The snobbery and hypocrisy of human nature made Wang Mudan fall into deep despair. There was no way to get a loan or borrow money. Was it really true that Mingdan Company had no choice but to go bankrupt?
Her former boss, Xiong Dajiang, was very financially capable and could easily come up with five million, but Wang Mudan really couldn't bring herself to ask. The establishment of Mingdan Company was thanks to Xiong Dajiang's strong support. Out of gratitude, she also took the initiative to give him 10% of the shares. Their relationship has been very good over the years. Mingdan Company was able to maintain stable operations thanks to Xiong Dajiang's processing orders.
The company is now in serious financial trouble, and there will definitely be no dividends at the end of this year. Wang Mudan doesn't know how to explain this to Xiong Dajiang, and she is even more embarrassed to ask him for a loan.
The last time Mingdan Company was reported, Xiong Dajiang severely criticized Si Mingda, scolding him for abandoning ethics and morality and having an extramarital affair with Luo Yingtao, which led to the company being heavily fined.
This time, Gao Huai designed to defraud them of payment for goods. She and Si Mingda did not dare to tell Xiong Dajiang, fearing that he would withdraw the processing order in anger, which would only cause further crisis for Mingdan Company.
Wang Mudan was racking her brain. Where could she borrow such a large sum of money to keep the company running? If she couldn't borrow the money, she wouldn't be able to pay the workers' wages. What would she do?
