Gu Juncheng was sitting in the car, and the news broadcast on the radio was like thunder exploding in his ears, leaving him completely shocked.
He could never believe that the gentle and amiable Sister Wanqing would be involved in illegal and criminal activities.
His thoughts were in great confusion. Something he had believed in firmly suddenly became unreal, causing him to doubt its authenticity.
His hands trembled slightly as he took out his cell phone and dialed Fu Wanqing's number, but a cold power-off tone came from the receiver.
Gu Juncheng didn't give up and called his brother Gu Junyan instead.
"Brother, Sister Wanqing..." His voice was filled with panic and anxiety.
"Come over here and talk." Gu Junyan's steady voice came from the microphone.
"...Okay." Gu Juncheng slowly put down the phone and said to the driver, Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, drive faster."
"Okay, Second Young Master." Lao Zhang responded, put a little force on his feet, and the car accelerated forward.
…………
In the Gu Group, Gu Junyan convened a shareholders' meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.
Gu Juncheng holds shares in Gu's company. Although not as many as Gu Junyan, they are also extremely crucial and he is one of the company's important shareholders.
When he came in wearing cheap clothes and with messy hair, everyone looked at him.
Gu Juncheng found a seat and sat down somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Junyan sat in a wheelchair with a stern expression.
"Now that everyone is here, let me summarize the situation the company is facing."
"First, let's talk about public opinion. I'm sure everyone has seen that Fu Wanqing was questioned by unknown netizens during her live broadcast this afternoon. Negative news about her is everywhere online. Since she and I are engaged, the company's official website has also been attacked by netizens, affecting the company's reputation. The stock price will definitely drop tomorrow, so I hope everyone is mentally prepared.
Secondly, the Mo Group had originally agreed to collaborate on the Bihua City project, but suddenly reneged tonight. Without additional investment from other companies, this project would surely fail. Not only would we not be able to recover our capital, but we would also likely incur significant sunk costs.
Third, it is still related to the Mo Group.
Our business has always been highly similar and overlapping with Lu's. Previously, we were on par with each other and our market share was basically evenly divided. However, just now, the Mo Group announced its acquisition plan for Lu without any warning.
This undoubtedly sends a signal: Moshi will expand into our company's core business areas. It can be foreseen that in future market competition, we will inevitably face huge challenges and impacts from Moshi.
Fourth, we are responsible for operating the live broadcast APP used by Fu Wanqing, and now there are voices everywhere on the Internet accusing us of poor supervision.
Even worse, some maliciously fabricated rumors, claiming we relied on Fu Wanqing's special abilities to eliminate dissidents and spreading the Gu family threat theory. This series of events must be deliberately promoted by a mastermind behind the scenes. We urgently need to come up with a policy to deal with it."
Everyone was silent. With so many things happening at once, they didn't know which one to deal with first.
Gu Juncheng sat in the chair in a daze. It turned out that Sister Wanqing was really involved in a crime, and now the company was implicated.
He suggested: "Brother, why don't you issue a statement to break off the engagement with Sister Wanqing and draw a clear line in time." Then they can get engaged again after the incident has calmed down.
Gu Junyan said, "No, if Wanqing gets into trouble, I'll break off the engagement. What will everyone think of our Gu family? I can break off the engagement with her, but not now."
Other shareholders also disapproved of Gu Junyan and Fu Wanqing breaking off their engagement.
Although Fu Wanqing did something illegal, she is very capable. Breaking off the engagement now will definitely offend her. It is better to wait and make plans after making sure there is no room for reversal.
But the announcement still has to be made.
Everyone discussed the content of the announcement and agreed that they should first apologize for the platform's poor supervision, ban Fu Wanqing's account for a period of time, and deal with other matters in a cold manner to see the online reaction.
After discussing the announcement, everyone started discussing the focus of tonight, why Mo's suddenly withdrew its investment and wanted to acquire Lu's.
A shareholder said: "The Mo Group is huge, and although Mo Shu has extraordinary means, his style of doing things has always been gentle.
In business dealings, whenever there's an opportunity for cooperation, he's always willing to help other small businesses get a piece of the action. He's earned a lot of praise in the industry and an excellent reputation. Now, he's attacking us without warning. Did someone in our company accidentally offend him?
Everyone shook their heads subconsciously. How could they dare to offend Mo Shu?
Although they are all groups, there are differences between groups. The Mo Group is obviously superior to the Gu Group. No one would be so stupid as to provoke him and mess with their own wallet.
Gu Juncheng also shook his head. Apart from moving bricks today, he stayed in the rental house all the time and did not go out. It was impossible for him to have any intersection with the Mo family.
If you ask him, he is the one least likely to cause trouble at the scene.
Gu Junyan did not doubt his younger brother. Juncheng has always been sensible. Apart from the fact that his family was unhappy about having a girlfriend, he had never caused them any worries about anything else.
The shareholder next to him asked, "Could it be that Fu Wanqing's live fortune-telling offended him?"
Gu Junyan was shocked. If everyone had no problem with it, then he should indeed ask Wanqing.
Thinking of her suspected crime, he couldn't help but wonder if she had accidentally offended someone while fortune-telling for them online?
While everyone was talking, Gu Junyan's phone rang.
"What? Shideng was caught inflating its profits? How much? 6 billion! The subsidiary is having trouble collecting its accounts receivable and needs to apply for financial support from the head office?!"
Shi Deng is a key partner of a subsidiary of Gu's, and the two companies have frequent financial transactions. If Shi Deng were to go bankrupt and be investigated, the accounts receivable would be uncollectible, and the subsidiary would be unable to repay its debts on time...
Don't underestimate a subsidiary. If a subsidiary has difficulty collecting accounts receivable and cannot obtain timely financial support from within or outside the group, it may trigger a chain reaction, leading to a tight capital chain for the entire group.
Gu Junyan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
The debt of this subsidiary is guaranteed by the head office. When the subsidiary goes bankrupt and is unable to repay its debts, the head office needs to bear the corresponding debt liability in accordance with the provisions of the guarantee contract.
The market has been booming in recent years, and the head office's funds have been used to expand business, but have not yet been recovered. Now Bihua City's projects still need financial support, so where can we get the funds for the subsidiary?
Shareholders who were aware of the situation panicked.
Gu Junyan said solemnly, "For now, we should find a cooperative enterprise as soon as possible to share the pressure within the group."
"Gu's company is facing difficulties now. Small businesses will definitely not dare to cooperate with us, for fear of being dragged down by us..."
Gu Juncheng said, "We are old friends with the Zhao and Shen families. Perhaps we should seek their help."
Gu Junyan said: "This is the only way."
If this hole still can't be filled...
He looked at Gu Juncheng, and then he could only let his brother go for the marriage.
