Chapter18

As the cold wave hit, the temperature dropped suddenly in the new week, plunging Anzhou, which had just warmed up, back into the biting cold wind.

Just like this weather, everyone in Qin Yuan Group was in a state of uneasiness.

Last Friday, the young female chairman took office. With a new leader comes a new set of subordinates. The middle and upper management of the company were originally observing to see if there would be any changes in the wind direction. Early Monday morning, before they had even warmed up their seats at work, an ambulance arrived downstairs at the company with its siren blaring and took the former chairman away on a stretcher.

Soon, news came that Qin Chengliang had a heart problem and needed to rest and recuperate. He would be unable to return to work for a while.

On Tuesday afternoon, Vice President Zheng in charge of the company's new energy industry chain and the research and development director both submitted their resignations, stating that they were unable to perform their jobs and requesting to leave. This business now accounts for nearly 30% of the company's assets. It was originally expected to turn a profit in the second half of this year, and the situation was excellent. Now, without a leader, it was in chaos.

On Wednesday morning, a self-media outlet wrote a report subtly, implying that Qin Yuan Group had a tight capital chain and was in arrears of construction payments to construction companies. The company's key project, Taohuayuan Residence, had also been suspended.

As soon as the report came out, the public was in an uproar. Even Qin Yuan Lvyi was affected. The sales manager below urgently gave feedback to Xiao Ning, saying that prospective customers in the early stage had called one after another to inquire about the situation. If this continued, it would have a considerable impact on the sales of real estate in the coming year.

At three o'clock in the afternoon when the stock market closed, the company's stock price, which had already been hovering at a low level, dropped again. The decline set a new high in recent years, presenting the new chairman with a memorable inauguration gift.

Qin Chun sat in front of her desk, listening to her subordinates' reports with an indifferent expression.

Vice President Yu said with a difficult expression, "Chairman Xiao Qin, I have talked with Vice President Zheng and Director Qin. I even went to their homes last night, but I still couldn't persuade them to stay. Why don't you personally pay them a visit today? If you go, the effect will definitely be different."

Qin Chun's finger slipped, and the pen in her hand spun a beautiful flower. She remained silent.

Xiao Ning's face was solemn. "I have arranged for the sales staff to appease the customers of Chunlan Yunjing. But once emotions are ignited, they are difficult to control. We still need to think of a way to completely suppress the rumors."

After Qin Chun arrived at the headquarters, Xiao Ning had taken on the position of vice president and was responsible for overall work at Lvyi Real Estate. Xiao Ning was promoted and cultivated by Qin Chengshan and Qin Chun together. She was steady and meticulous in her actions and had been working at Lvyi Real Estate. With her around, Qin Chun could temporarily have no worries.

Zhao Nanshan was in a hurry. "Yes, Chairman Xiao Qin. What is the company's decision on our project in the end? We dare not answer when the media and customers call. We are afraid of being caught again."

...

One problem after another was thrown at Qin Chun.

She pondered for a moment and picked up the report that Sister Qi had just brought over.

It could be seen that in recent years, the company's capital flow had been inclined towards several newly launched industries. The real estate at the headquarters had not acquired land or developed new real estate projects for half a year. The company currently had only three reserve plots and two real estate projects in the Anzhou area. One was completed and under construction and about to be delivered. The other was in the design and development stage. This was a world of difference compared to the operating conditions during its heyday.

Judging from the company's current business, it was obvious that Qin Chengliang was copying Xiao Bingyang's development ideas. The new industry was mainly new energy, mainly producing lithium batteries and investing in an electric vehicle factory.

Qin Chun was deeply worried. Qin Chengliang was imitating blindly. You should know that Xiao Bingyang invested in upstream lithium mines and was also involved in international development and procurement. He had pricing power. However, the lithium battery market was highly competitive and had a low entry threshold. It was not easy to insert and take a share halfway.

At present, the company's profits still depended on its main business. The report showed that some of the company's assets had also been mortgaged. She didn't have time to study the specific capital situation in detail. But it was obvious that if the new industry had problems and could not generate profits, it meant that the previous investments would all be in vain and the entire company would also be dragged down.

"I already understand the general situation of the company," her gaze swept over each person present and finally stopped on Vice President Yu. "Vice President Yu, since they have decided to leave, there is no point in forcing them to stay. Arrange for the deputy of the original department to take over."

Vice President Yu was stunned. "This..."

"Sister Qi, after we finish here, let them come over for a meeting." Qin Chun instructed. "Also notify the legal department and the external publicity department. Draft a lawyer's letter to warn that self-media outlet and website to delete the post. The external publicity department should cooperate to do a good job in clarifying. Focus on two points. First, Taohuayuan Residence is on seasonal hiatus and will strive for on-time delivery. If not, losses will be compensated according to the contract. Second, the company has sufficient funds. Appropriate financial situation of Qin Yuan Lvyi can be revealed."

Her words were concise and to the point. She handled the thorny problems with just a few words. There was no sign of panic or hesitation in her expression. Several people seemed to have found a backbone and suddenly became energetic.
