Meanwhile, at the Su Corporation, an internal meeting was underway, with everyone's attention fixed on an unfamiliar company.
Xu Shuming: "Jin Datong, what is the meaning of this?"
Jin Datong: "We're not in the process of establishing fully automated factories? I only heard about it recently!"
"This textile company has already placed orders with foreign machinery factories, and they are also aiming for a project that utilizes fully automated factories to go public."
Xu Shuming: "What about our progress?"
Jin Datong: "The funds have just arrived, and we haven't even contacted foreign machinery factories yet."
Xu Shuming: "What about the design blueprints? And the letters of intent for procurement?"
Jin Datong glanced at Yang Dawu, then dared not speak.
Xu Shuming immediately understood that the project was stalled, or perhaps carelessly delayed.
Jin Datong: "However, our funds should be ample."
Yang Dawu: "Yes, yes, yes, what Jin Datong said is right. We failed in our group investment, not for bribery, so anything can be discussed."
Xu Shuming: "How do we explain this to the shareholders? This failed investment will lower our profits! What will we use to balance the books this year?"
Jin Datong: "That's why we need to hurry with the fully automated factory. If we just tell a good story to the public, we can make the stock price rise."
Yang Dawu: "Alright, alright, we can move some funds from the ten-billion project, consider it a loan."
Xu Shuming: "That's a project from higher up! It can't be touched!!!"
Jin Datong: "If that doesn't work, can we borrow some from Mr. Emmanuel again?"
Xu Shuming: "You all can leave first, I need to think of a solution."
As soon as Yang Dawu and Jin Datong left the conference room, Yang Dawu began to complain.
Yang Dawu: "Every group investment needs his signature. Could I have taken it to speculate in stocks without his approval? And now he wants me to take the fall! Hmph!!!"
Jin Datong: "Director Yang, how much money is left in our group's accounts?"
Yang Dawu: "Are you referring to the money for Emmanuel's equity pledge?"
Jin Datong nodded.
Yang Dawu: "There are about a billion or so left. If we withdraw it from the stock market now, it can cover the emergency."
Jin Datong felt a bead of sweat for Yang Dawu. This wasn't just losing half; out of ten billion, only a little over a billion remained, which was equivalent to losing more than eighty percent...
Jin Datong: "Then we at least need to put on a show for the public."
Yang Dawu: "What do you mean?"
Jin Datong: "If we want shareholders to put their money into Su Corporation's pockets, we need to tell them a story and create a false impression that the group's prospects are extremely bright."
Yang Dawu: "Didn't we say that before? Wasn't the equity pledge about telling a story?"
Jin Datong: "Now, if we want them to send more money, just telling stories won't suffice; we need to take actual action."
Yang Dawu: "Tell me what to do, I don't want the group to lose money again and have me take the blame."
Jin Datong: "How about this, you prepare the funds first. Anyway, President Xu also means no more investing in stocks. You wait for my news. We should at least select the location for the new factory to look credible."
Yang Dawu: "Okay, but..."
Jin Datong: "Don't worry about that, I understand."
Yang Dawu left with satisfaction, seeing how understanding Jin Datong was.
However, Jin Datong's series of operations were all carried out according to Ou Yunchen's instructions. Fortunately, Yang Dawu was truly a powerful assistant. If he had known Yang Dawu was so ignorant of finance and operations, he should have won him over earlier.
External threats were indeed a good tactic. Seeing his project being snatched away, Xu Shuming felt a pang of discomfort!
He had intended to speed up the progress and use the money sent by Emmanuel to design and build the factory, but who knew when this wallet developed such a large hole!
When he was in urgent need of money, he saw that there wasn't much left in his pocket!
Xu Shuming sat in the conference room, racking his brain. If he were to ask Emmanuel again? What would he use to ask for money this time?
