Under the covert manipulation of "Viper," some unscrupulous companies also began to take advantage of the Lin Group's misfortune.
Under this double blow, the Lin Group's business was severely affected, and its stock price began to fall.
The atmosphere in the conference room of the Lin Group was so heavy it was almost palpable.
"Mr. Lin, the situation is dire!" the marketing manager said, his face pale. "Our product sales have plummeted, and many distributors are demanding returns."
"The stock price has also plummeted." The finance manager's voice trembled slightly. "If this continues, we will face huge losses."
Lin Fan sat at the head of the conference table, his face terribly grim. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.
It was all Brother Long's doing behind the scenes.
"Investigate! Find out the truth!" Lin Fan's voice was as cold as ice. "I want to know who is spreading rumors behind our backs, and who is maliciously suppressing us!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
...
Brother Long's secret hideout.
"Hahaha... Well done!" Brother Long looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed loudly. "That kid Lin Fan must be in a real mess this time!"
The newspaper's front page headline read: "Lin Group Faces Crisis, Stock Price Plummets!"
"Brother Long, this is just the beginning," Viper said with a sinister smile. "The real show is yet to come!"
"Oh? What's your plan now?" Brother Long asked with interest.
“I’ve made all the arrangements,” Viper said slowly. “Next, we’re going to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Fan!”
"How do you mean by a fatal blow?" Brother Long asked.
"Kidnapping!" Viper's voice was low and sinister. "We're going to kidnap Lin Fan's closest people to threaten him!"
"Kidnapping?" Brother Long frowned. "That's illegal!"
“Brother Long, don’t worry,” Viper said. “I will arrange everything properly and make sure there is no evidence left.”
"Alright! It's settled then!" Brother Long gritted his teeth. "This time, I'm going to completely break Lin Fan!"
Lin Fan slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup jump and spill tea everywhere. He stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at everyone in the conference room. His voice was deep and powerful, like a lion poised to pounce:
"Enough! What time is it? Stop sighing and complaining!"
"Look at them all, so dejected! What kind of appearance is this? Where is the backbone of the Lin Group? Has it all been eaten by dogs?!"
He looked around, and everyone in his sight instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Rumors? Stock price drop? That's nothing!" Lin Fan's voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap. "Back when the Lin Group was on the verge of bankruptcy and drowning in debt, it was a million times worse than this! Who were we afraid of back then?!"
"And now? A few mad dogs barking have scared you like this?!"
"Raise your heads, all of you!" Lin Fan roared. "Show your backbone, show your courage! Tell those petty scoundrels that the Lin Group is not something they can shake!"
His voice echoed in the conference room, resonating in the hearts of everyone present.
The marketing manager stood up shakily, beads of sweat forming on his forehead: "Mr. Lin... we... we've done our best..."
"You tried your best?" Lin Fan sneered. "You tried your best and this is the result? Market share was taken away, distributors are demanding returns, consumers have lost trust in us... Is this what you call trying your best?!"
"I'm telling you, this is far from enough!" Lin Fan waved his hand sharply. "From now on, the Ministry of Justice, in conjunction with the police, will investigate the source of these rumors! Don't let a single one escape!"
"I want them to know that spreading rumors comes at a price!" he said through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with anger.
"I'm going to gather all the evidence and sue them! I'll sue them until they're bankrupt and their reputations are ruined!"
The head of the legal department immediately stood up and responded loudly, "Yes, Mr. Lin! We guarantee to complete the task!"
"Public Relations Department!" Lin Fan turned his gaze to the Public Relations Department. "You must issue a statement immediately, with a firm stance! Tell everyone that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Lin Group's products!"
"Release all our product quality inspection reports! Let those who spread rumors see what true gold fears no fire!"
The public relations manager quickly stood up: "Yes, Mr. Lin! We'll get on it right away!"
"Furthermore," Lin Fan added, "crisis management is not just about clarification! It's also about showing the public our sincerity and responsibility!"
"Marketing Department, adjust the marketing strategy!" Lin Fan's voice rang out again. "Launchow promotional activities to benefit consumers! Show them with concrete actions that the Lin Group is trustworthy!"
"We want consumers to see that even in difficult times, we still put them first!"
The marketing manager nodded repeatedly: "Understood, Mr. Lin! We'll formulate a plan immediately, increase discounts, attract consumers, and stabilize our market share!"
"Remember, we need to let consumers feel our sincerity and regain their trust!" Lin Fan emphasized.
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became more enthusiastic. Lin Fan's words were like a shot in the arm, injecting a powerful boost into everyone's spirits and reigniting their fighting will.
"Finance Department, how's it going?" Lin Fan asked the finance manager, his tone slightly softer, but still carrying an undeniable air of authority.
The finance manager stood up and said in a deep voice, "President Lin, the situation is indeed not optimistic. The continuous decline in stock price has put great pressure on our cash flow."
“However, we have already formulated an emergency plan to stabilize the stock price.” He paused, then continued, “We are contacting major shareholders to explain the current situation in detail and to seek their understanding and support.”
"At the same time, we are also actively raising funds to repurchase company shares and stabilize market confidence."
Lin Fan nodded, signaling him to continue.
"In addition, we also plan to release some positive news..." The finance manager's voice rose slightly, "For example, our upcoming innovative products will be an important engine for the company's future development."
"We believe that as long as we send positive signals to the market, we will definitely be able to reverse the current situation."
Lin Fan finally smiled: "Very good! That's how it should be. Only by taking multiple measures can we stabilize the situation."
“Oh, right,” he seemed to remember something, “I will also increase my shareholding in the company, to show everyone with my actions that I have full confidence in the Lin Group!”
"We want the market to see that we are full of confidence in the company's future development, and that we will stand with the company through thick and thin to overcome the difficulties together!"
Excitement flashed in the finance manager's eyes: "President Lin, you...you also want to increase your holdings?"
"Of course!" Lin Fan said decisively, "I am a member of the Lin Group, so of course I will stand with the company through thick and thin!"
"With your words, we have even more confidence!" The finance manager's voice trembled slightly.
"Also, we can't let our guard down when it comes to security." Lin Fan's gaze sharpened. "Notify the security department to strengthen security at the company headquarters, increase manpower, and add more surveillance equipment. We absolutely cannot let those thugs have another chance to cause trouble!"
"At the same time, we must remind all employees to be vigilant, pay attention to their personal safety, and report any suspicious situations immediately!"
