Chapter 200: Chapter 162: Do the Opposite_3

They didn’t even see your face before they saw right through all the cunning thoughts in your head.

Given Gao Yuan’s tactics, if you manage to come out on top today, I, Jiang Wenmin, will do a handstand and shit!

He finally understood that he was now nothing more than a pawn being tossed back and forth between two sides.

Since he couldn’t afford to offend either side, he might as well fight it out, whoever wins, I’ll side with them...

...

Ten minutes later.

The conference room was extraordinarily lively.

Suppliers, reporters... and Chairman Lu, all gathered together.

Sitting amidst the noisy crowd, Chairman Lu felt somewhat confused at the moment.

In his opinion, Gao Yuan should have met him in his own office, to give them both some private space to talk.

What was the meaning of arranging him together with a bunch of debt-collecting suppliers?

They are here to collect debts, and I am here to provide funds!

It’s a huge difference!

However, following the principle that only a fool would miss out on excitement, Chairman Lu contained his dissatisfaction.

He wanted to see what exactly Gao Yuan was selling in her gourd!

"Tap tap tap!" The sound of high heels clacked, as Gao Yuan entered the conference room with Jiang Wenmin and Tang Yun.

Today’s Gao Yuan was clad in a fitting black blazer, showing off the charm of a mature woman while exuding the aura of a capable and strong female executive.

Chairman Lu’s eyes sparkled; she was indeed a great beauty!

The corners of his mouth curled up as he began to fantasize about her begging him in a soft voice...

When the time comes, should I agree or not? It’s such a dilemma...

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gao Yuan, the new Chairman of Changqing Biological. It’s somewhat impolite to meet for the first time in this manner," Gao Yuan said with a smile as she glanced over the audience.

"Chairman Gao, let’s skip the niceties. I only care about whether your company can fully settle my goods payment!"

"Yes! We heard your company suffered a huge loss due to a malfunction in the cold storage that damaged a batch of raw materials, and your cash flow is nearly broken. Is that true?"

"Chairman Gao, we are small business operators. If this payment is delayed by a month or two, we’ll be left out in the cold starving. Please don’t screw us over!"

"Yes! You must give us an explanation today!"

"..."

The conference room instantly became a chaotic mess.

Chairman Lu watched this scene with great satisfaction.

Make a fuss, the bigger the commotion, the greater the pressure on Gao Yuan, and the better my position for negotiation...

The reporters saw the situation and immediately set up their cameras to start filming.

Liu Tao picked up his camera and took a close-up shot of Gao Yuan.

Truth be told, the news of a corporate cash flow breakdown due to debt collection from suppliers had no appeal; it was all too common.

It was only because he was a newcomer without much in the way of resources that he was sent here on a tip-off from an enthusiastic member of the public to try his luck.

After all, Changqing Biological was a high-tech enterprise with thousands of employees and assets worth billions, with a certain reputation in the relevant industries in Su City.

Such news would definitely not make it to the trending topics, at best it would be a ten-second spot on the local radio station, hardly attracting any attention.

"Everyone! Please calm down. I am well aware of the reasons you are all here, and that’s exactly why I’ve arranged for you all to be together so I can explain the situation to everyone at once," Gao Yuan said, her hands gesturing for the crowd to be quiet.

After the crowd settled down again, she continued.

"First of all, I need to clarify something. The malfunction of the cold storage... it’s true, and it did result in tens of millions in losses, that’s also true!"

"What?!"

"Whoosh~"

The suppliers who had been calm were now agitated once more.

These were official confirmations!

Tang Yun and Jiang Wenmin were also stunned, sweating bullets internally.

Did you have to be so direct? To start off with such a bombshell!

Couldn’t you speak more tactfully? Crisis PR doesn’t start by laying out its shortcomings like this!

Couldn’t you use some words like "although, but, should, probably" to gently obfuscate the facts for the audience?

And... tens of millions?

The term was far too vague.

The loss could be twenty million, and that’s tens of millions, or seventy or eighty million, that’s also tens of millions.

A loss of only twenty million, and yet, by phrasing it this way, won’t others exaggerate it several times over in their imaginations?

When others face a run on their assets, they try to downplay it as much as possible, wishing they could report one zero less in their losses.

And you? Doing the exact opposite?

Is it that you think your situation isn’t dramatic enough?

Gao Yuan looked at the increasingly excited crowd below, but her face still wore a calm smile.

All the world knows that taking brings advantage, yet no one realizes that giving brings the greatest gain.

The wisdom that being at a disadvantage is a blessing is understood only by the shrewdest of people!
