Chapter 128: The Executioner
Just when Zhong Qiao was about to take over from his father and sit in the position of president, Zhong Qiao's father found out that he was seriously ill, which was a huge blow to the Zhong family and Jiahe.
For Zhong Qiao's father's illness and surgery, the Zhong family spent a lot of energy, and the company's affairs were handed over to several elders of Jiahe Group to ask.
At that time, Golden Harvest was also one of the largest groups in Ruicheng, but its strength was far less than it is now. During the period when Zhong Qiao's father was ill and Golden Harvest was at the helm of the group's veterans, there were major problems within Golden Harvest.
At that time, Zhong Qiao was busy with his father's illness, and Zhong Qiao's father was on the sickbed, and he didn't care about these business failures.
Subsequently, in the bidding of several projects, there was another leak of Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest's important bidding data was leaked to competitors, causing Golden Harvest to lose several major businesses.
After this incident, Zhong Qiao quickly rushed to the company from the hospital and had no choice but to act as president to investigate the leak of Jiahe's bid. However, all the people who have experienced it are veterans, these people are veterans who have worked hard with Zhong Qiao's father for many years, one is that Zhong Qiao is not easy to investigate, and the other is that everyone also has their own lineage, and for a while, Jiahe was divided internally.
Just as Zhong Qiao was trying to investigate the secret thieves within Golden Harvest, there was gossip that Golden Harvest had a financial crisis, and someone released news that Golden Harvest Group had debt problems.
That day, when Zhong Qiao pinched the morning newspaper that had just come out and saw the headline "Centennial Golden Harvest Encounters a Cold Winter Internal Financial Crisis", his whole body shook involuntarily.
He is still too young, and he has just entered Golden Harvest, and he has to face such a major event, and he still has no strength to turn the tide.
Just when Zhong Qiao was cramped in the president's office, Jiang Cheng knocked on the door, he took the newspaper, and said nervously: "Zhong Qiao, now there has been a sharp sell-off of our shares in the market, and our stock price will fall immediately, I think if we don't take action immediately, not only will the stock fall tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but I am afraid that our customers, banks, and shareholders will come to ......the door immediately."
Zhong Qiaowen also frowned when he heard this, "Now we need to hold a board meeting soon......
"Yes, we have to make some indications, otherwise it's too late, I'm going to inform the directors right away, and the board meeting will be held in half an hour. Jiang Cheng seemed to be more composed.
Zhong Qiao nodded, looked at Jiang Cheng, who was one year older than him, gratefully, and suddenly felt that he had something to rely on.
At the board meeting, Zhong Qiao thought that these elders would come up with ideas about the current situation, but they did not think that the meeting became a meeting to blame each other and shirk responsibility.
Several patriarchs are either blaming each other or passing the buck to each other, and none of them can stand up and speak, and none of them can make suggestions to turn the situation around.
After the meeting, there was still no conclusion, but the facts were clear that this crisis was against Golden Harvest Group, which was running smoothly before Golden Harvest and there was no so-called debt problem at all. The real problem is the failure of the first few business cases and the failure of these bids.
However, these failures were not enough to bring down Golden Harvest. However, rumors and the sharp drop in stock prices have plunged Golden Harvest into an unprecedented crisis.
Zhong Qiao often came to Jiang Cheng to discuss countermeasures when he was most nervous in this Golden Harvest, after all, they were brothers who played from childhood to adulthood, and they worked hard together in Golden Harvest, which was better than anyone's feelings, and at this time, Zhong Qiao also trusted Jiang Cheng the most.
However, Zhong Qiao still can't change anything. In order to protect his father's body, the young Zhong Qiao endured these pressures alone, hiding from his father who had just completed the operation for half a month with the people around him.
However, even if the people around him hide it, after all, the paper will not be able to keep the fire. Zhong Qiao's father, who had just been operating in the hospital for half a month, finally heard about the current crisis of Golden Harvest, and he was so anxious and angry that he decided to move the hospital bed to the conference room and hold a board meeting to discuss the current crisis encountered by Golden Harvest.
Zhong Qiao's father, with a weak body, was carried to the conference room by everyone. Although he dragged his sick body, as soon as the real helmsman of Golden Harvest sat on the board of directors, the atmosphere of the meeting was immediately much more harmonious than before. While most people still feel helpless, things seem to be turning around.
"Chairman Zhong, the most urgent issue now is to solve the current urgent task, calm the market turmoil, and solve the debt problem. One of the directors sighed.
"I heard that many banks have come to inquire about the situation, and the loans that are about to be issued have also been temporarily frozen, refusing to enter our accounts, which is our normal working capital loan, with collateral, and they are not willing to pay. The man on the side continued.
Others lamented: "There are also bank loans that have just expired, and those who were originally negotiating to renew their loans have now changed their tunes." ”
"Several big creditors have also come to inquire about the situation, and now Golden Harvest is really in dire straits, alas, ......" The man sighed and continued: "In terms of the media, we have already sent people to do the work, and we are writing articles to clarify the facts, and now several articles have been sent. But the opposing forces are very strong, and they also wrote that we are dying and struggling, and we have sent people to communicate with these media, but it may be that the other party has already made up their minds, and they are not willing to let go. ”
"There must be a ghost insider. "Some people are angry.
Zhong Qiao's father waved his hand, "Of course we have to find out who did it, but this is not the top priority, the top priority is how to deal with the current tricky situation." ”
"The best thing to do now is to use the media to explain our innocence, and to seek rescue, as long as there are big groups to support us, we will definitely save the day. "Someone has come up with this eternal truth, rescue.
"Who can help," someone asked.
"Of course, it's the Mu family, the Mu Group, the two families were originally good friends...... "Someone's eyes rolled.
At this time, all the people looked at Zhong Qiao in unison.
When Zhong Qiao heard this, his heart turned upside down, he looked at his father, and only heard his father say: "If we have no choice, we may only have to find a way to rescue, but we have to discuss the possibility of this matter with the other party." ”
"Is that such a thing, huh...... , there is no other way, only marriage, only such a relationship, the other party can trust us more. One of the patriarchs smiled firmly.
Zhong Qiao's father did not speak, but pondered for a moment. Yes, the Mu family had already mentioned to him about getting married, and a while ago, the Mu family also said that their daughter Mu Lanzhi was about to return from abroad, saying that they wanted to introduce it to their son Zhong Qiao.
But Zhong Qiao's father knew that his son now had a deep girlfriend, and he didn't agree at that time, but in this situation, it may be necessary to make some sacrifices if Jiahe wants to survive the crisis smoothly.
If you are physically strong, you can think of other ways, but now that you are sick, this is the safest and easiest way to do.
The day after the end of the board of directors, Zhong Qiao spent the whole day at Golden Harvest Group dealing with all kinds of questions and questions, and went home late in the evening, physically and mentally exhausted, but as soon as he got home, he heard his parents talking in the bedroom.
The father said weakly: "I called the Mu family today, Lao Mu said that he was willing to save us, but the financial and administrative rights of the Mu Group are in the hands of Mu Lanzhi and her mother, and her mother's condition is to prepare for the marriage of Mu Lanzhi and Zhong Qiao immediately, if the marriage is too anxious, they will get engaged first, all in all, their idea is to get married." ”
"Marriage," Zhong Qiao's mother exclaimed, "Our two families have such a good relationship, and they are still worried that we will deceive them,"
"Alas, their idea is also right, people who do business are 'don't scatter eagles without seeing rabbits'. Besides, they have long taken a fancy to our family Zhong Qiao, in fact, they know us very well, and they also know that someone is obstructing us this time. But they are going to take advantage of this opportunity to match their daughter with our son. No one else mentioned it, and they didn't say anything distrustful. ”
"Do you know, did you ask for his opinion," Zhong Qiao's mother asked.
"Alas, not yet. Zhong Qiao's father sighed, "But how can he agree to this matter, what if he doesn't agree, can he let the entire Golden Harvest Group die?"
"But ......" Zhong Qiao's mother was still a little worried that her son would not agree, after all, the decision on marriage matters was made under such circumstances, and there was no room for negotiation at all, and anyone would feel very uncomfortable.
"Nothing. Although Zhong Qiao's father was sick, he still said majestically, "This matter must be fast, you should hurry up and prepare for it in the next few days, especially the matter of marriage, you and Ah Qiao have a good talk, I know that Ah Qiao is a sensible child, he will not watch me and Jiahe die." ”
At this time, Zhong Qiao pushed open the door of his parents' room, and he whispered, "Dad, I won't marry Mu Lanzhi." I have women I like. ”
For a while, Zhong Qiao's parents didn't know how to deal with it, and they also knew that this matter was to embarrass their son and sacrifice his life's happiness in exchange for the family's business, but this was also a last resort.
Zhong Qiao's father sighed on the sickbed, "You have a woman you like, and Dad knows it, but you also know what situation Jiahe is facing now, fortunately, the Mu family is willing to save us, and it is just such a simple condition, if people say nothing and refuse to save it, Jiahe will be finished." ”
"I will try to save the current situation, but I must not marry Mu Lanzhi. Zhong Qiao resisted desperately, but this resistance was still weak.
"What can you do now, you can guarantee that you can save Jiahe," Zhong Qiao's father questioned.
Zhong Qiao was speechless, he hated that his shoulders were too weak, and he was too powerless at the moment.
Zhong Qiao's father continued weakly: "Ah Qiao, Dad knows that you are wronged, but how can I stand you now, even me, I can't help myself. There's no pity that I'm dead, it's just that if Jiahe dies, how can we face the ancestor of the Zhong family, alas......"
The father let out a long sigh, and tears welled up in his eyes. Zhong Qiao remembered his father's sigh he heard before he pushed the door just now, "He won't watch me and Jiahe die." ”
Zhong Qiao knew that if he didn't agree to this marriage, Jiahe would fall, his family would fail, his father's illness would be worse, and he would become the executioner of all this.
