If An Huchun had prepared such a severance compensation plan, it meant he genuinely intended to carry it out.
Otherwise, when An Huchun came up with a severance compensation plan totaling 136 million Xia Kingdom yuan, he could have modified it.
Yet An Huchun had still sent the plan to An Wuyang, proving that he truly intended to implement it.
Moreover, Li Wenya had not stopped An Huchun, which showed that she also supported the plan.
No!
It would be more accurate to say that Li Wenya supported An Huchun, and that was why she supported this outrageous, sky-high severance compensation plan.
"The group's situation is indeed terrible. On top of that, its revenue has declined year after year in recent years, and we also lost the Fifth Pharmaceutical Centralized Procurement bid. Our rating with the banks is being downgraded as well. To safely get through our current predicament, we probably have no choice but to sacrifice the lesser interest to protect the greater one." Li Wenya answered An Wuyang's question.
"Our new factory occupies fifteen mu. Based on recent land auction prices, the nature of the industrial land, the location of the new factory, and the buildings on the land, we estimate that it can be sold for about eight million per mu. That would bring back 120 million yuan." Li Wenya assessed the assets.
"Our headquarters occupies three mu. Since it is commercial land and has an excellent location, the land is worth more. It might be appraised at the high price of twenty million per mu, which would bring back 60 million yuan." Li Wenya conducted another asset assessment.
"Our family assets include seven residential properties, ten commercial properties, three luxury cars under your father's name, two luxury cars under my name, some luxury bags and other luxury goods, jewelry, and twelve luxury cars under the group. Altogether, they're worth 145 million yuan." Li Wenya added more details to the asset assessment.
"For the remaining 50 million yuan shortfall, we'll use the research center and old factory of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group as collateral for a loan. If there's still a shortfall, we'll mortgage the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base to obtain financing." Li Wenya filled in the final funding gap.
"If these are the prices we have to pay, how would you choose now?" Li Wenya placed the difficult question before An Wuyang.
An Huchun's earlier explanation had been too vague. It could even be said that he had placed morality and righteousness before An Wuyang, potentially driving him to make an impulsive choice like a young man.
But now Li Wenya had laid out the asset evaluations before An Wuyang in concrete figures, allowing him to understand exactly what they stood to lose. What choice would An Wuyang make?
According to Li Wenya's asset assessment, if they chose to tough it out, the consequences would indeed be extremely serious. The slightest mistake could even plunge them into an irredeemable abyss.
But An Wuyang had a trump card!
An Wuyang chose to trust the Happy Life System.
"My choice hasn't changed." An Wuyang took a deep breath before replying calmly.
Li Wenya smiled. "Actually, your father and I have considered your situation too. If things really develop to the point of no return, all these debts and the group's problems will be isolated on your father's side."
"Our country's laws don't require children to repay their parents' debts, so no matter how badly your father makes a mess of things, that will be his problem." As a marriage lawyer, Li Wenya understood such matters very well.
"Also, if it really becomes necessary, your father and I will get divorced and divide our assets." Li Wenya added this.
Li Wenya was a senior partner at Mingjing Law Firm, and she was very capable of making money!
If Li Wenya divorced, she could protect the income she received from Mingjing Law Firm afterward, thereby giving An Wuyang a safeguard.
An Wuyang sighed inwardly. His parents had apparently made every possible preparation long ago.
That made sense. Even if An Huchun was unreliable, how could Li Wenya, a senior partner at a law firm, possibly have made no preparations at all?
"Since you've made your choice, your father and I will start handling the group's layoffs tomorrow. Do you want to take part?" Li Wenya asked.
An Wuyang thought about it, then shook his head and refused.
"I won't take part. I still have things of my own to deal with." An Wuyang declined.
Li Wenya hesitated for two seconds before reminding him, "I heard you've gotten yourself a girlfriend, but you must be careful, all right?"
"Mom!" An Wuyang understood the implication and could only protest silently.
"You're embarrassed?" An Huchun teased. As he spoke, he opened the Xiao Fang Fresh Meat Barbecue that An Wuyang had brought back, then picked up a skewer of pork belly and started eating.
"These skewers are pretty good!" An Huchun praised. "Honey, try some."
Li Wenya did not hold back either. She picked up a skewer of tender beef and tasted it, then gave it an equally favorable review.
"Want a drink?" Li Wenya suggested.
"Sure." An Huchun agreed.
Li Wenya went into the kitchen, then came back with two glasses and a bottle of chilled beer. She poured a glass for herself and one for An Huchun.
An Wuyang sat off to the side, as if he were completely superfluous!
'Ding!' 'The host is facing a major choice: Turn the tide? Lie completely flat? The host has chosen to turn the tide.' 'The host is facing a random choice: Capitalist? Philanthropist! The host has chosen to support An Huchun.' 'Congratulations, host, on possessing a kind heart!' 'In this murky mortal world, a kind heart is truly precious. Besides, if the circle represented by the host had no compassion, wouldn't it be able to make even more money?' 'Choice reward: Precious Kind Heart' ...
An Wuyang immediately checked what kind of reward Precious Kind Heart actually was.
Precious Kind Heart: Kind people should not be betrayed! Kind people should not have guns pointed at them either! Congratulations, host, on gaining control of Shadow Shield Security Company; Congratulations, host, on gaining the purchasing rights to A Batch of Precious E-Waste; ...
An Wuyang continued checking the information related to Shadow Shield Security Company and A Batch of Precious E-Waste.
