Magic City.

Donghua Group Headquarters Building.

Wu Heguang's face turned from livid to pale as he listened to the voice in his ears, and his body even trembled slightly involuntarily.

After a while, he barely recovered. He forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there any way to remedy this?"

"Gong Li said... this set of equipment is too damaged. Even if some parts can be recycled and reused,..."

Wu Heguang rubbed his temples while listening to the phone, his brain running wildly.

According to the contract between the two parties, Kaile has paid a deposit of US$98 million and a payment of US$200 million for some equipment, and the remaining money has not yet been paid.

Failure to complete and pay on time will mean that Donghua Group is in default.

Not only will Kaile Company not pay the remaining money, Donghua Group will also need to compensate the other party for liquidated damages of 30% of the total contract price, which is US$294 million in liquidated damages, and it will also have to pay for project losses and construction delay fees3 Billions of dollars.

Donghua Group originally had a glimmer of hope by purchasing insurance, but at that time the bank felt that the contract period was short and the insurance premium required was very high. Wu Heguang and other directors felt that paying the insurance premium would make the contract unprofitable. But Tutu didn't buy insurance.

Now this compensation of up to 594 million U.S. dollars can only be borne by Donghua Group itself. Together with the large amount of money invested previously, it will completely become a bad debt.

For the Donghua Group, which already had a tight capital chain, this was like a rainy night.

'no! We must find a way...' How could Wu Heguang, who was unwilling to give up the Donghua Group he founded, give up.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and quickly asked Kong Zhaolin on the other side of the phone: "Ask Engineer Li if you can use the synthetic ammonia production line currently running in our company instead."

Kong Zhaolin at the testing site was stunned for a moment, and then, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he turned to the dejected Li Xinyi and asked hastily:

"Gong Li, if we use the ammonia production line of our chemical plant, can it be used instead?"

Hearing this question, Li Xinyi frowned and thought hard, but finally shook his head:

"Our synthetic ammonia production lines have been running for more than three years. Even if some parts are replaced, some key parts are still easy to detect, unless the other party does not require a brand new production line."

Of course Kong Zhaolin knew that Kaile Company required a brand new production line, but now they were running out of time. He asked irritably:

"Is there any way to replace all the parts that can be detected? Or use some parts from this semi-wasted production line?"

Li Xinyi looked at the other components on site that were still intact, and after a mental evaluation, he nodded cautiously:

"That's okay, but there are no suitable spare parts for the reforming tubes of the reforming furnace. We can only temporarily replace the catalyst and renovate the reforming tubes of the old equipment."

"That's great." Kong Zhaolin almost collapsed.

Wu Heguang on the other side of the phone was also relieved. He quickly continued to give instructions on the phone:

"Zhaolin, I will give you authority and immediately ask Pengcheng Chemical Factory to fully cooperate. Within a week, I can put together a production line that can be used. I only need to transport the equipment to the factory in Luzon, and then use the debugging and maintenance tools." An excuse to replace some parts with new ones.”

"Understood, I promise to complete it within a week." Kong Zhaolin also knew the current situation. If the production line cannot be delivered by then, Donghua Group will have no choice but to go bankrupt and reorganize.

Donghua Group took quick action.

Kong Zhaolin personally led people to ask Donghua Chemical Plant in Pengcheng to stop production and cooperate.

Li Xinyi led a group of engineers and technicians to remove usable parts from the semi-waste production line.

It seems that this time the contract crisis has been smoothed over by them.

But are things really that simple?

…

That evening, on the Chinese Internet.

A video titled "Explosion occurred at XXXX Factory" quickly spread on major platforms.

Because the video was shot from a close angle and was very clear, and netizens near Pengcheng provided revelations, the accident at Donghua Equipment Manufacturing Factory could no longer be concealed.

The Donghua Group, which had not yet reacted, was suddenly stunned by the news.

Soon someone claiming to be an industry insider broke the news, saying that Donghua Group cooperated with a company in Luzon last year to design and manufacture a complete set of fertilizer production lines for the other party. It is estimated that this accident will cause a delay in the delivery of equipment.

It wasn't until the information spread on the Internet for more than five hours that a senior executive of Donghua Group found out about it while surfing the Internet.

Wu Heguang, who was already troubled by this accident, immediately changed his face when he heard the news. He reacted very quickly: "Quickly, issue an announcement immediately to refute the rumors. Just say that it was just an ordinary gas leak and did not cause serious losses. "

"Yes, President!" The secretary quickly arranged for the public relations department to write an announcement to refute the rumors, regardless of the fact that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Wu Heguang, who was in the office at the same time, thought for a while with flickering eyes. He was a smart man, but he already felt something was wrong.

The equipment in the test field had trouble sooner or later, but it happened at this juncture. Then there was intensive online public opinion. It was obvious that someone was eyeing this batch of equipment, or someone wanted to deal with Donghua Group.

‘Who could it be? Could it be him... No, it shouldn't be. That kid only has energy in Hongsawady, and he has no foundation at all in China...'

‘Keller Company? Are they deliberately setting up the Donghua Group? Just for liquidated damages? That’s not right, they also don’t have many people in the country...'

'Wait a minute...' Wu Heguang suddenly had a flash of realization in his eyes:

‘Is it those guys? ABCD has united with a group of international chemical giants to suppress Luzon's agriculture, so they definitely don't want Luzon to be able to produce its own fertilizers, and those chemical giants have a large number of collaborators in China...'

Wu Heguang seemed to have guessed something, but then he sighed secretly. Obviously, he could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out about the people and forces involved.

What he can do now is try his best to suppress this matter, then complete the equipment delivery, and then fool around with it.

Sure enough, for three days in a row, the popularity of this matter on the Internet was suppressed.

And Kaile Company seemed to know nothing about it.

This made Wu Heguang secretly relieved.

But soon he was caught off guard again.

During an online video conference.

The person in charge of Kaile Company asked with a serious face: "President Wu, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for this video. This is a video I obtained from an online intelligence dealer."

Wu Heguang, whose heart skipped a beat, looked a little unnatural.

After he watched the video that was sent to him, he could no longer say the words he had just prepared.

Because the video turned out to be from inside the test site, and it was an actual test accident that day, Wu Heguang didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"President Wu! Can you give me an answer now? Can the equipment of the fertilizer plant be delivered on time?"

Wu Heguang could only bite the bullet and reply: "Mr. Lopez, please rest assured that most of the equipment in the explosion that day was intact. Our company has spare parts and can definitely deliver them on time."

"Really? If that's the case, you wouldn't mind if I asked someone from a third-party acceptance company to come and inspect it, right?" Carmen Lopez asked with a smile on her face.

Wu Heguang was also extremely panicked, but he knew that he could never get into trouble. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for a vice president to take people from the acceptance company to the factory as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Carmen Lopez reminded with a smile:

"OK, I am also concerned about this batch of equipment. After all, it is related to Luzon's strategy of localizing fertilizers. Mr. Dutt is also very concerned about this matter. I don't want to disappoint him. After all, the impact will not be good."

Damn it! Wu Heguang was already panicking inside.

He is not a fool, so he naturally heard the implication of the other party's words, that is, there is a country standing behind me. Let Wu Heguang weigh the consequences of fraud.
