The next day
Ling Kai called, saying that the group was facing a tricky problem and he wanted to get some advice.
Luo Beishi was somewhat surprised; did he really trust him that much?
Ling Kai is, after all, a CEO in his thirties. He's seen it all, and he's weathered many storms. How could he not handle it?
Luo Beishi still had some doubts.
Ling Kai: "Sister-in-law, those business partners from Country Y have been cooperating with our Huo Corporation for many years, and now that things have suddenly changed, I feel..."
Luo Beishi was getting sleepy from listening. "The termination agreement, has it been signed?"
Ling Kai said with a headache, "Not yet. They're already in our company's conference room, and they insist on signing."
Luo Beishi: "Go ahead, first demand the penalty for breach of contract, then agree to sign, and immediately announce the termination of cooperation with them. Strike first, strike strong."
Ling Kai hadn't expected Luo Beishi to give him such an idea.
But then I thought, if it were Luo Beishi, and it came from his mouth, it would be quite normal.
"Due to the urgency of the situation, the Huo Corporation was caught off guard. If they rashly sign the agreement, they may suffer significant losses later."
Luo Beishi yawned. "It's okay, I'll help you find a partner. It'll be quick. Just do as I say."
Ling Kai paused for a moment. Over the past year, he had made almost all the major decisions. The company couldn't afford any mistakes, so he had endured a difficult year. Now he knew that his boss had a wealthy wife who had earned a lot of money at a young age. He felt that this sister-in-law must be very intelligent, and perhaps he could ask her for advice when he was in trouble.
Never mind, listen to your sister-in-law, it's the right thing to do.
Ling Kai replied, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go and do it right away."
The negotiators from Country Y were surprised by how quickly the Huo Corporation agreed. They had prepared the penalty for breach of contract, thinking the Huo Corporation wouldn't care about such a small amount of money.
After receiving the 2 billion yuan penalty for breach of contract, Ling Kai immediately signed the contract and left the conference room without even a word of regret or politeness.
The two people from Maple Leaf Company were a bit dumbfounded. They were the ones who came to abandon Huo Corporation, but Ling Kai seemed to be in a hurry, which made them, who were the ones terminating the contract, somewhat unhappy.
Afterwards, Ling Kai back and immediately had his public relations team announce the news of the termination of the contract with Maple Leaf Company.
Those in the economic circles who follow current events were surprised, as the Huo Corporation and Maple Leaf Company had been cooperating for nearly ten years without any problems before.
Now, the Huo Corporation is no longer hiding anything and has directly announced the changes online.
Immediately, opinions were divided. Since it was the Huo Corporation that made the announcement, people deliberately assumed that the Huo Corporation had abandoned Maple Leaf Company, which meant that Maple Leaf Company might be in trouble!
Because, in the eyes of outsiders, it has always been the Huo Corporation family that dominates others, rather than others putting pressure on the Huo Corporation.
That day, Maple Leaf Company's stock price inexplicably plummeted.
The headquarters of Maple Leaf Company in Country Y immediately called the two people who were still in Xia Country, preparing to meet the mysterious Eastern girl.
"What's wrong with you guys! I told you to get things done efficiently and not give anyone cause for gossip, and this is how you do things?" The chairman of Maple Leaf Company was already yelling in British English.
"Chairman, we did exactly as you instructed, and we did nothing wrong. If you don't believe me, we can send you the recording of today's negotiations."
The chairman of Maple Leaf Company was furious. "You guys are incredibly stupid! We sent you to negotiate for a peaceful termination of the contract! Go look around the business circles in Xia Country! Everyone's saying our company is in trouble! Our stock has dropped by half! Do you know how much we've lost?!"
The two were dumbfounded. They thought the contract had only been signed recently, and there were very few people at the meeting, so how could it have suddenly been published online?
Chairman of Maple Leaf Company: "Get back here to see me right now!"
Hearing the chairman's scathing remarks, the two of them were hesitant to go back.
Seeing how much Maple Leaf Company's stock had fallen, Ling Kai felt a sense of relief.
Just as he was lost in thought, Luo Beishi called.
Luo Beishi: "I've already selected a new raw material supplier in Mizhou, Yun Province. I need you to send someone there to investigate."
The boss over there has already agreed.
Ling Kai hesitated for a moment, "Sister-in-law, that's a small place, can they provide enough?"
Luo Beishi gave him a direct answer, "Don't worry, support domestic products. As long as the supply can meet the requirements, the quality will be up to standard. It just means you'll need to go out and sign contracts and such."
Ling Kai immediately understood, and he promptly dispatched people to Yun Province without delay, because they wanted to minimize the losses.
While Ling Kai Luo Beishi began looking for domestic raw materials. They were not only cheap and of high quality, but also saved on import and export taxes. Why not?
Ling Kai: "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll treat you to a meal later as a token of my gratitude."
Luo Beishi: "Not for now, I need to take care of my husband."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Cixiao was still shocked in bed.
He was impressed by his wife's ruthless and taciturn nature.
The news about Maple Leaf Company's stock price plummeting was playing all around me; it felt so good.
Maple Leaf Company's termination of the contract caught everyone off guard, and if the Huo Corporation family cannot find a partner in a short period of time, they will face significant losses.
The chairman of Maple Leaf Company was a blond man in his prime, nearing fifty, who was currently furiously berating the man opposite him who had given him the terrible idea.
The man also promised that after cooperating with them, their profits would be two percent higher than the Huo Corporation's.
Now look what's happened! Before he even made any money, his company's stock price inexplicably plummeted.
The man in the black suit smiled. "It's alright, I'll keep my promise."
The chairman of Maple Leaf Company dared not say any more; they had already lost 2 billion yuan.
After leaving Maple Leaf Company, the man in the suit looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. This didn't seem like Ling Kai's way of doing things; he was so arrogant... It seemed he must have received guidance and help from Luo Beishi.
Luo Beishi was such a mysterious and interesting person. What made you become like this?
Luo Beishi was unaware that someone outside was eyeing his fate; at that moment, he was engrossed in playing video games, specifically Mr. Mario, a game he had never played in his childhood.
Huo Cixiao couldn't hear what game Luo Beishi was playing, so he continued listening to the news, feeling somewhat bored.
The internet is a mess, but their lives are incredibly leisurely.
Inside the CEO's office
Lei Long, the vice president, has finally returned from out of town.
Upon returning, he heard about the Maple Leaf Company incident and immediately sought out Ling Kai.
Ling Kai explained the recent situation to him in detail, as well as matters related to Luo Beishi.
Lei Long was completely stunned, and said incredulously, "I originally thought that things on the internet were exaggerated, but when you said it, I realized it was even more real."
