Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 325 I drove my Mazda today, and there was some traffic.
"Stop arguing. Now is not the time to assign blame. We should be thinking of ways to remedy the situation."

"You should all think carefully about whether you have offended the Jiayuan Group in any way."

At this time, Gan Taizu's role came into play. Although Yin Hong usually handled many things in the company, Gan Taizu was needed to step up when it came to a critical moment of life and death.

"How are things? Is there a problem at the company? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing that the company was in trouble, even the great-grandmother, who never paid attention to such things, became anxious.

The situation is in complete chaos, so no one has time to pay attention to what the great-grandmother said; everyone is busy making phone calls to find connections.

The stock market drop was nothing to worry about; what frightened the Gan family the most was the targeting of the Jiayuan Group.

The Jiayuan Group has declared that they don't even need to lift a finger; those who want to curry favor with them can ruin their Jiayueyuan business.

"What are we going to do? We're just a small company."

Why is Jiayuan Group making trouble for us?

Gan Taizu waited for news with a worried expression.

The family's phone never stopped ringing. If it weren't already past midnight, they would definitely have rushed back to the company to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The next morning, Jiahaoyueyuan held a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Have you contacted anyone from the Jiayuan Group?

"We have made contact with them, but they say they have nothing to do with this matter and they don't acknowledge it."

Gan Taizu and the company's shareholders looked at each other in bewilderment.

Her bright red fingernails were almost embedded in her flesh.

Seeing him like this, Gan Taizu was unsure whether to reveal the latest news. After much hesitation, he decided to share the information.

This matter concerns the very survival of Jiahao Yueyuan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something even more important to announce."

“I just received a call. Three of our raw material suppliers have decided to cancel their contracts with us, and the advertising companies we have been working with have also decided to postpone our cooperation indefinitely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire office erupted in an uproar. The shareholders' expressions were as ugly as if they had swallowed several pounds of dead flies.

My heart was pounding with anxiety, and I felt a wave of despair wash over me as everything went black.

Yin Hong also felt a deep sense of powerlessness; it was far too easy for a company like Jiayuan Group to strike them down.

The news was only released yesterday, and today some people are already willing to risk paying breach of contract penalties to cancel their cooperation with them. Jiayuan Group's actions are indeed swift.

Saying it has nothing to do with them
Yin Hong felt a deep sense of irony; the people from Jiayuan Group were clearly treating them like monkeys.

They denied everything at first, but then attacked them behind their backs. What angered her the most was that, from the beginning until now, they didn't even know what they had done wrong.

For a company like Jiayuan Group to personally intervene and target them, knowing the reasons is crucial for having a chance to remedy the situation. Yet, they have to bear the wrath of Jiayuan Group without knowing anything.

Who can they confide their grievances to? Outsiders haven't even said anything wrong with the Jiayuan Group.

Instead, they were speculating about what outrageous things they had done to anger the Jiayuan Group, wondering who they had offended.

If Jiayuan Group had given them a chance to talk, it would have meant there was still room for reconciliation. But given Jiayuan Group's current attitude, it's clear they don't want to settle with them.

If they're determined to destroy them, nothing else matters.

"So what do we do now? We've already signed contracts for this year and next year. If the advertising company doesn't honor the agreement, even if we go to court, we don't know how long it will take, and we'll have to reinvest tens of millions in advertising costs."

"You're being too naive. Do you really think anyone would be willing to advertise for us? With the extensive business connections of the Jiayuan Group, would anyone be willing to offend them for our sake?"

The shareholder's words infuriated Gan Taizu and Yin Hong to the point of wanting to explode. Gan Taizu slammed his fist on the table.

"Calm down, everyone. We must not lose our composure now. Ah Hong, contact the warehouse and replenish the stock with the remaining inventory. Ah Gong, come with me to the advertising company to confront Lao Yang."

After so many years of friendship, how could he do such a thing, helping outsiders bully us?

"Grandpa, should we continue to contact Jiayuan Group?"

Gan Taizu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Contact us? Do you really want to go toe-to-toe with Jiayuan Group if you don't contact us?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

Yes, none of these remedies are as important as getting the Home Group to stop. If the Home Group wants to deal with them, they can make them suffer even if they cross over into other industries.

Ultimately, the cost will still come from the consumer; we can only hope for new information from the Jiayuan Group.

If it were business competitors, Yin Hong and her team would still have the courage to stand up and compete, but their opponents were simply too large, and they were like ants on a chopping board.

Even if you try, what's the point? It's just a last struggle before death.

Two days later, Jiahaoyueyuan's stock price continued to fall, and from that day on, various problems with Jiahaoyueyuan were exposed.

Supplier problems, partner problems, and then a tax audit – in just three days, the entire family's fortunes were severely damaged.

Both Gan Taizu and his wife looked worried.

But today, they finally received some joyful good news.

"Mom, the people from Jiayuan Group agreed to meet with us. It was their boss, Li Jiayuan, who personally spoke with us."

Sweet Potato Ball brought the good news home, and the drowsy Gan Taizu and Yin Hong excitedly grabbed Sweet Potato Ball's hand.

Are you serious?

"It's true, the president's secretary from Jiayuan Group just called me personally and said he's willing to meet with us."

"Just what?"

"The place they arranged to meet was strange; he said he wanted to meet and talk at our home."

"Home?"

Yin Hong and Gan Taizu were completely baffled. What was the reason for this? What exactly was Li Jiayuan up to?

Fortunately, it's good that we can meet and talk.

That evening, Yin Hong and her family waited at home, but everyone else was on the second floor, leaving only Gan Taizu and Yin Hong on the first floor.

The appointment was for eight o'clock, but Li Jiayuan didn't arrive at the Gan family's house until nine o'clock, making them wait for more than an hour.

Neither of them dared to complain and could only endure it.

Around 9:10, footsteps were heard outside.

Gan Taizu and Yin Hong's hearts were in their throats as they stared toward the door.

A tall, handsome young man entered the Gan family home, accompanied by a beautiful secretary.

The Yin Hong couple quickly got up to greet them.

"Sorry, sorry, I was driving a Mazda today, and there was some traffic."
