As soon as the power went out in the building, the light suddenly dimmed.

Although it is daytime, many rooms in the office building are windowless and completely lit by electricity.

Now there is a power outage, and the building is suddenly in total darkness.

This room has spacious, bright windows, and the fiber optics are dimmed.

"What's going on? How can there be a power outage?"

For the first time, Adele looked through the window at the building next to her.

The billboards of the surrounding buildings are lit up, and they are all clearly electrified.

Only the Carlton Building, even the billboards were extinguished.

"Maybe there's something wrong with the power system, so I'll have someone investigate!"

An executive in charge of logistics wiped his sweat, reported, and hurried to arrange work.

There was a power outage in the building...... This is definitely a great dereliction of duty!

This is the headquarters of the Carlton Group, and when the power goes out, I don't know how much work will be delayed.

In case of loss of some files in the computer, the loss is even greater.

"This is New York, and the infrastructure of our Carlton Building is top-notch...... How could there be a power outage? Is there something wrong?" one shareholder muttered.

The Carlton Tower will have a power outage, which is really abnormal!

It's definitely going to make headlines.

"Miss Adele, there's a problem. It's not the system problem in our building, it's the power company! It's Citipower, which has been working with us, that cut off our power supply. The logistics executive hurriedly came in and reported.

In such a short period of time, he found the root of the problem, and his work efficiency is still very high.

"Citigroup?" Adele was slightly stunned, "How is this possible? Why does Citigroup want to get involved in the matter between our Carlton Group and the G family?"

Adele isn't optimistic that it's just a coincidence.

At such a sensitive and critical moment, this kind of thing happened, and if there was nothing to do with Citigroup and the G family, Adele would not believe it anyway.

"Perhaps, this is just a coincidence? Citigroup has always been very neutral! Moreover, we at Carlton Group are big customers of Citigroup, and we have deep cooperation with Citigroup Power in many fields and regions, so there is no reason for them to suddenly cut off power to us at such a time!" said one shareholder with a frown.

"Coincidence?" Adele sneered, "If it's really a coincidence, Citi Power should immediately come and apologize to us, give us an explanation, and promise to restore the power supply in the shortest possible time!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the manager of the public relations department walk in quickly and said:

"Miss Adele, someone from Citigroup is here, and they want to visit Miss Adele!

"See, Citi power is here!" said one shareholder happily.

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily with good intentions!, please let them come up!" Adele struck a slightly more comfortable pose.

The Carlton Building has backup emergency power supply measures, diesel engine power generation is a bit noisy, however, it can be temporary emergency, and the power supply of elevators and some key departments can be guaranteed.

Soon, a few guys in suits and leather shoes came up, led by two, both of whom were pot-bellied.

One of them was large and wore glasses, while the other was bald and shiny.

The expressions of the two were very arrogant.

"Haha! I didn't expect that I came at the right time, you big bosses of Carlton are here!"

The tall guy laughed.

At this time, even the shareholder, who was very optimistic just now, found that the other party's attitude was a little wrong.

The atmosphere instantly became solemn.

"Fred, what the hell is going on? Why did our Carlton Tower suddenly lose power? Are you going to give us an explanation? And Japeson, why are you with Fred?"

The one who spoke was the shareholder who was neutral and later first expressed his support for Adele.

Obviously, the two people he followed up with knew each other.

"Explain to you? McClure, now the Carleton Group, are you in charge? Are you the new chairman?"

The tall guy...... Fred said, deliberately glancing at Adele.

Adele's brow furrowed.

She also knew this Fred and knew that the other party was an executive of Citigroup.

Adele had followed her father and had met Fred several times.

This Fred looked respectful in front of his father back then. Because in business, he needs the support of his father and the cooperation of the Carlton Group.

Now, Fred, who used to be respectful, turned out to be proud......

This made Adele feel sick for a while.

"Fred, just say anything. Don't be weird here!Our Carlton Tower suddenly lost power, what the hell is going on?When are you going to restore power to us?" The shareholder who supported Adele...... McClure asked.

"Restore the power?" Fred chuckled, "McClure, you're thinking too much. I'm here today to inform you that our cooperation with you at Carlton needs to be renegotiated. Until the negotiations are finalized, it is unlikely that power will be restored to the Carlton Tower......

Oh, yes, not just the Carlton Tower, but all of your projects at Citi, around the world, I hope you will be ready to be cut off at any time...... Well, as long as it's within our Citi power range, you all have to be ready.

Unless, we can have a good negotiation result. ”

"What? Fred, are you crazy?"

"Fred, how dare you threaten our Carlton Group with a power outage?"

"Fred, there is a cooperation agreement between the two groups, do you want to be taken to court?"

“……”

Several shareholders were indignant at the same time.

McClure slapped the table directly.

The main business of the Carlton Group is high-end hotels. Once the power is off...... The blow to reputation will be very fatal.

"Cooperation agreement? Take it to court? Hehe! Okay! I'm very welcome! We, the legal department of Citigroup, are ready, but I don't know, can you Carlton survive this lawsuit? If our two major groups go to court, it will definitely be big news, right? I believe that cautious adults will also review this dispute well, I don't know, can we get a result in a few months?

Oh, maybe I'm too optimistic. After all, we at Citi Power have shareholders and are jurors ourselves, so if we say that, this lawsuit will take a year or two years? It doesn't matter, anyway, we Citi Power have time...... Hahaha!"

Fred laughed, looking fearless.

Citi Power has time and can afford it.

But where can the Carlton Group afford to spend at this special time?

This is simply to add insult to injury!

"And our Qihui Bank! If Carlton wants to fight a lawsuit, we will also accompany it!"

At this time, the bald Jay Peixun next to him spoke.

He is the representative of Qihui Bank.

Hold a few documents and place them on the conference table.

"Japeson, are you going to betray us at the most difficult time for our Carlton Group?" McClure said with irrepressible anger.

When Japson placed the thick stack of papers on the table, the entire conference room fell silent.

The faces of several shareholders became solemn.

Citi Power dissolves partnership with Carleton...... For Carlton, the impact was bad, but the reputational impact of more knowledge.

The sudden power outage will only bring temporary panic to the Carlton Group.

The power company is not just Citigroup.

With the right practices, the Carlton Group can quickly find new partners.

Impact, just a blow to reputation.

However, Japeson represents Qihui Bank.

If Qihui Bank had made a move, the situation would have been different.

Qihui Bank is the most important partner of the Carlton Group.

There is no multinational corporation that does not have loans.

In fact, many large banks are also happy to lend to multinational companies...... Especially a multinational company with a good reputation like the Carleton Group.

Because it is not easy to have bad debts.

Adele's face also became solemn.

She knows that her father has been working on several big projects in recent years, and the amount of loans he has obtained from Qihui Bank is very large.
