"Aze, why did you call everyone here? Is there some huge plan?"
"No, let me introduce you. The lady on the left is Lan Shuiyao, the investment vice president of my Grey Wolf Company. The handsome guy next to her is Hu Baiyan, my savior. Last time I went home, I forgot to bring my bodyguard and almost lost my life. Luckily, Brother Baiyan saved me."
Then, Chen Ze recounted the whole story to everyone, making it a thrilling tale.
Everyone condemned their village chief for being shameless, and Chen Shiyou cursed his father as a bastard.
Chen Ze continued, "To repay Bai Yan for saving my life, I'll invest in a packaging factory with him. From now on, all three of your companies can order their finished product packaging boxes from him."
The three men all said they had no problem. Hu Baiyan took out cigarettes and offered them to the executives, thanking them for their care.
"Click," the door to the private room opened, and the waiter brought out the food one by one.
The little cutie looked at the crab roe noodles in front of her, which was only the size of a fist. She muttered, "This portion is too small, and it's so expensive at 188 yuan a serving. I can finish it in three bites."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "That Chen Hao is also a shrewd businessman."
Sure enough, Chen Ze only said two sentences before the little cutie finished her noodles.
"It's delicious, but the portion is too small," she said, and then ordered two more servings of crab roe noodles.
Chen Ze ordered five bottles of Moutai, and the five of them began to drink together. After a few rounds of drinks, Chen Shiyou started swaying from side to side and then started singing Cantonese opera. Before drinking, he was from Guangdong Province, but after drinking, the whole of Guangdong Province belonged to him.
Mao Hanxiong and Li Weihai, who were standing next to him, even clapped along to accompany him, making the two women in the private room laugh non-stop.
As the drinking progressed, Chen Ze also got drunk. He was taken home in a daze, and he didn't even know who took him.
When I woke up, it was already 10 a.m. the next day.
I checked my phone and found two missed calls and one unread text message.
One call was from Secretary Shen, and the other was a missed call from Zeng Bojian.
The text message was sent by Zeng Bojian. It read: "I have already exposed the dirty secrets of Liu Lirong of Gionee Mobile to major media outlets."
He checked his Weibo account and found that many people had indeed exposed Liu Lirong's gambling activities.
Chen Ze went to the lobby and turned on the TV, only to find that many channels were reporting on photos of Liu Lirong gambling in Saipan.
In an instant, the public outcry over Liu Lirong's gambling was ignited across the country, causing an uproar among the people.
The owners of over a hundred major suppliers of Gionee mobile phones surrounded the company's headquarters with their men, holding up banners that read: "Paying back debts is a matter of course."
Hundreds of police officers were deployed around Gionee's headquarters to prevent suppliers from entering the company.
Several media outlets were broadcasting live from the scene. A female reporter said to the camera, "Hello everyone, the situation at Gionee's headquarters is currently very chaotic. Over a thousand Gionee mobile phone suppliers have arrived."
"They kept pushing their way into the Gionee headquarters, but fortunately, police officers with shields blocked them. However, Gionee founder Liu Lirong did not show up to explain."
Liu Tianyi desperately tried to squeeze into Gionee Company from the crowd, determined to collect debts from Liu Lirong. His daughter, Liu Bingjie, followed him.
"Dad, let's wait and see. We can't squeeze in right now."
Seeing this, Liu Tianyi could only pull his daughter away from the crowd and rest in a less crowded place. He angrily cursed, "That bastard Liu Lirong actually used working capital to gamble, and he still owes us tens of millions of yuan in payments for three months. What are we going to do now?"
"Dad, if Gionee goes bankrupt and is liquidated, won't we never get our money back?"
“Daughter, bankruptcy liquidation will at most pay the wages of Gionee’s ordinary employees. Our money will probably be lost. I heard that Gionee owes hundreds of large suppliers and even more small companies.”
After saying that, he squatted down on the ground with a dejected look on his face, clutching his hair and looking worried.
“Dad, our ten million isn’t the key issue. The problem is that we’ve only been working with Gionee for the past few years, and now Gionee is definitely gone. We should find a new partner as soon as possible so that we can continue to make back the money we’ve lost.”
"Those LeEco phones are selling quite well lately, how about we go talk to their manager?"
"Xiaojie, LeEco mobile phones approached us about a collaboration last year, but I turned them down. If we go back to them now, I'm afraid..."
“Dad, our phone screens are absolutely the best quality in the industry. You stay here and watch over Liu Lirong, I’ll go talk to LeEco. Whether they’re willing to cooperate or not, we have to talk to them to find out.”
"Alright, you go ahead, I'll stay here and keep watch."
He looked at the noisy crowd, which was now much larger than before.
A man leading the crowd shouted, "Liu Lirong, give me back my hard-earned money!"
The crowd responded to his slogan and shouted in unison.
This scene was witnessed by Liu Lirong, who was at the Gionee headquarters building. Behind him, two shareholders were cursing him incessantly.
"Liu Lirong, you bastard! It's one thing to gamble in the office, but to take working capital to gamble in Saipan? Is your brain filled with shit?" Partner Huang questioned.
Major shareholder Mr. Jin asked Liu Lirong, "Mr. Liu, the company is now out of working capital and owes suppliers more than 3 billion yuan. Do you have any way to solve this?"
Liu Lirong drew the curtains, paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back, pondering how to solve the funding problem.
After a moment, he said, "The only options are to raise funds or find investors. I'll call Pony Ma and see if he can invest in us."
