Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Uh..." The staff member looked at the bank card with an embarrassed look on his face, and then called the manager. The manager saw that something was wrong and reported it to his superiors. In the end, the bank president had to explain to Franklin in person.

"Are you kidding me? Your bank has no money? Or was it attacked by hackers? Who would believe these words? I made an appointment yesterday, why can't I get the money out?" Franklin said angrily.

"That's right. We have requirements for this kind of limit. And the head office has also said before that if the money is withdrawn from this bank card, we will be responsible." The bank president explained patiently.

Franklin was helpless. He never expected that this bank would have such a trick. Now even hacker intrusion can be directly solved. He stood there, at a loss for a moment, full of frustration and helplessness.

Franklin returned to the company dejectedly and told everyone the depressing news. The entire board of directors was instantly plunged into a cloud of gloom.

"Oh!" A boss shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"We've been really screwed this time. I never expected something like this to happen. As the boss, you are to blame." Another director said with a reproachful tone.

"How should I know this would happen? When my son was in Guyue Country, he didn't expect to encounter such big trouble." Franklin defended.

"Don't take on a job if you don't have the skills, this is our ancestral motto. Now that things have come to this point, it won't help even if we change the leader. If it really doesn't work, we can only sell the factory." A director made a helpless suggestion.

This is indeed a last resort. They actually plan to auction properties in several places first, hoping to sell them at a good price to overcome the difficulties.

The news quickly spread back home.

"Haha!" Jiang Chuan couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.

"It seems like they are just a bunch of rabble. They can't even think of this. What qualifications do they have to fight me? They are simply a bunch of trash." Jiang Chuan said sarcastically.

"So what do we do next?" asked a member of the board of directors.

"Let's just wait and see. It only takes one move to kill them. I will also choose to invest in and build factories in other areas, or even go and tell them directly that Franklin is optimistic about them. In this way, they will not be able to attack on multiple fronts, the stock price will definitely fall, and they will lose a lot of money again." Jiang Chuan said confidently.

Sure enough, Jiangchuan started to take action. In the next month, they directly invested in building factories in three regions and quickly solved the local employment problem.

Franklin, on the other hand, was helpless. Guyue Country was simply not a suitable place for investment, with frequent wars and explosions. Although their project was also underway, it was progressing very slowly for various reasons.

Franklin Jr. urged him many times, but to no avail. In order to meet the deadline, he had no choice but to continue raising funds. However, once everyone heard that it was his company, their enthusiasm for financing quickly faded. He didn't know what to do now, as funds were becoming increasingly tight.

"What should we do? This building has not been completed yet. If it continues like this, we may have to work in an unfinished building." Little Franklin looked at the design drawings, at a loss. If this building is completed, it will become a landmark building of Guyue Country.

Therefore, many politicians, including Nguyen Van Thuong, are paying close attention to the construction progress of the building.

"Alas!" Franklin came to the construction site and could only sigh helplessly. He didn't know what to do. The shortage of funds had overwhelmed him and he was too embarrassed to ask his father for money.

But old Franklin is not idle either. He now reports the status of the Guyue Company to him every day.

"What?" At this moment, a shareholder suddenly rushed into old Franklin's office.

"Have you seen the stock market today? It hit the limit down for no apparent reason, and it has hit the limit down three times since this morning. This is very rare." The shareholder said anxiously.

"Ah?" The thing Franklin was most worried about finally happened. He turned on the computer and was stunned.

"If we don't release the good news quickly, we'll be in trouble. And I always feel like someone is deliberately shorting us." Franklin said worriedly.

"It must be Jiang Chuan. In a situation like this, he will definitely find a few traders to manipulate the stock market. I didn't expect that after I ruined his classmate, he actually wants to destroy my company." The members of the board of directors were shocked after hearing this. They didn't expect that the person who took action might be Jiang Chuan.

"We have to find a way to fill these funding holes now. No problems can occur again," a director said anxiously.

"Blocked?" Franklin was in a dilemma. The money he got from selling the factory was originally intended for his son. If he used it to fill the funding gap, his son's work would be stopped, and it would even affect the family's reputation in the world.

"Now I don't know how many possibilities there are for this limit down, but many retail investors are now starting to sell off their stocks," reported a director in charge of the stock market.

Because the biggest market maker suddenly left the market, the entire stock market collapsed.

"I have no choice now. Maybe I can only choose to cease fire in the end. Maybe I will really go and sign a truce with him." The "he" Franklin mentioned is Jiang Chuan. He really didn't expect Jiang Chuan to force him into such a desperate situation.

"Okay!" Jiang Chuan smiled in this situation, "Now it's time for us to continue to attack."

Guyue Kingdom still looks peaceful on the surface, but the undercurrents within it are becoming more and more frequent. Especially for Ruan Wenxiang, he has begun to sense some dangerous aura.

He knew very well that all he could do now was to seize the time to support Franklin Jr. in completing his project.

However, resistance began to emerge, first from Jiangchuan's company. Because they temporarily stopped the scale of external expansion, the number of jobs that Franklin Jr. needed to bear increased instantly. This also caused many ordinary people in the country to criticize Jiangchuan.

"Everyone, actually I know what's going on, but what I want to tell you is that we did originally plan to expand, but because of the recent financial constraints, we have no choice but to postpone the expansion. So please don't worry, once our financial situation stabilizes, we will immediately implement our original plan in the area." The person in charge of Jiangchuan Company tried to explain.

Now the people began to discuss it. It was said to be suspended before, but now it has become postponed. What is going on? Even Ruan Wenxiang couldn't understand it.

Ruan Wenxiang was also helpless and had to go directly to the local company to inquire about the situation.

"Actually, we have no choice. I heard that the head office is short of funds because of a trick played by Franklin. Especially since the money has not been recovered yet, and this also involves the issue of state-owned assets of the Dashang Kingdom. We have no way to get involved. So they have no way to provide us with funds now." The person in charge of the company explained.

"Franklin, what did you say?" Ruan Wenxiang was shocked. He really didn't expect that all this was related to old Franklin. But the most important thing was that he couldn't stop the project directly, so he had no choice but to come to the project base again.

It can be said that Franklin Jr. is now working day and night on this construction site. As long as there is any problem, he will deal with it personally because he knows that this is his only chance.

"Come here for a moment, I have a question for you." Ruan Wenxiang shouted helplessly.

Franklin Jr.'s current situation is indeed like a clay Buddha crossing a river - he can't save himself. When he came over, Ruan Wenxiang asked, "What's going on? Didn't you tell me that the project is progressing smoothly? Why is it that I don't see the situation like that? Look at how sloppy these workers are working. Don't you have anything to explain?"

"Oh!" Little Franklin could only shake his head. He didn't know how to explain to the leader, so he could only sit in his seat and sigh.

"What's the point of sighing? If you have any problem, just tell us directly. If you need our help, just ask. What's the point of you being like this all day long?" Ruan Wenxiang said impatiently.

Actually, Franklin Jr. had no choice now, it was all about money. Although his old father sold the factory and sent the money to him, he didn't expect that the original scale would need to be further expanded on this basis, and he simply didn't have the budget for it.

"Oh! Actually, the original estimate was wrong. At that time, I thought these positions should be enough, and when the other party chose to expand the factory, I thought that since they expanded, there was no need to redesign, so I might as well just follow the original requirements. But I didn't expect that they would pause." Franklin Jr. explained helplessly.

Ruan Wenxiang then realized that this might be a trick, but there was nothing he could do because the other party was already mentally prepared.

"So now I don't know what to do. My old father worries about money every day. You don't know, when I video-chat with him during this period, I found that his temples have become more gray." Franklin Jr. sighed.

Ruan Wenxiang was also helpless. "If it really doesn't work, I will have a good discussion with our national finance department. But if we get involved, it won't be your sole investment, but we will jointly control it. You have to be mentally prepared for this. Maybe sometimes making money won't be that easy."

The transition from sole proprietorship to controlling stake is indeed a huge leap, but at the moment, it is the only way to solve the Franklin family's biggest dilemma.

"I have to discuss this with my father. After all, this matter needs his approval." Franklin Jr. murmured.

Ruan Wenxiang did not want to say anything more, so he left for the time being. After all, this was just a proposal, and he himself was not sure whether he could raise such a large amount of funds financially.

And little Franklin, as if he had found a life-saving straw, kept asking his father for help.

"Father, this is a golden opportunity. If we miss it and take one more step forward, you should know what kind of situation I will face, right?" he said anxiously.

"Don't forget, if it becomes a joint venture, how should the share ratio be calculated? If we hold a small share, there is no need to spend so much money. What's more, when we signed the contract, we were sole proprietors. If it becomes a joint venture now, doesn't it mean that their committee will ask us to pay three times the penalty for breach of contract?" Old Franklin said with a frown.

Old Franklin still preferred to take over the business in this area in one go, and he felt a little unwilling.

"How do you want me to make a decision? You know the current situation well. I simply can't lead our company forward. Various problems have made me breathless. If it really doesn't work, I'll go back. You come to this remote place and let's switch places." Old Franklin sighed helplessly.

Little Franklin couldn't care less at this moment. He just wanted to get money in quickly so that the project could succeed. Otherwise, he really couldn't afford the triple compensation.

Old Franklin was also at a loss. He could see that his son was indeed having a hard time living there, but he himself did not have that much money.

This makes the situation very embarrassing.

For old Franklin, the only thing he could do now was to find a solution quickly. Should he continue to support his son's joint venture idea, or should he once again put out more funds to fill this bottomless pit? This project is now like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring funds, but no results have been seen, which is really unacceptable.

"How about this, I'll go to the local area myself and see with my own eyes what the situation is there. I always feel that things are unlikely to be as you said. How could a project be like a bottomless pit, where you keep investing money but never see any effect?" Old Franklin finally made up his mind.

"Then come quickly!" Little Franklin was eager for his father to come over quickly so that he could at least see what was going on there and then make plans for the next step.

On the other hand, in Jiangchuan, some preparations are actually being made in full swing.

"That..." Jiang Chuan looked at Xu Jiajia, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Are you up to something bad? What are you planning?" Xu Jiajia keenly noticed his abnormality.

"I am also very clear about the current situation. I plan to go to Guyue Country. I heard that Old Franklin seems to be going there in person. If I don't make good use of it now, I don't know what the result will be." (End of this chapter)
