Chapter 31 Su Qiao'er gets tricked, Zheng Tian: You still think I really love you?
When she heard these words, Su Qiaoer's face was filled with disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"Chairman, the money... is gone."
The staff member said helplessly.
"How is that possible? That was 60 billion! It's only been a few days, and it's gone?"
Su Qiaoer couldn't help but swallow hard. Hearing this, the staff member took a deep breath.
"Chairman, the stock price is dropping too fast, and there have been too many people selling off stocks recently. We had to keep pouring money in, so... the money is gone."
The finance department had warned that it wasn't appropriate to keep investing capital to stabilize the stock price in this situation, but Su Qiaoer hadn't listened at the time and kept demanding they pour money in. As a result, the money naturally ran out; after all, 60 billion really wasn't enough to maintain the current stock price.
Not to mention that by this time, several shareholders within the company had already sensed that the Su Group was about to collapse, so they were desperately trying to get money out of the company.
Therefore, 60 billion couldn't last for more than a few days.
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer leaned back in her chair, her face full of collapse.
Now that the 60 billion was gone, although there was still some money left in the company account, Su Qiaoer knew that the board of directors wouldn't let her touch it, and she couldn't touch it anyway. If that money were used, the several projects currently running in the company would have no funding, and then even those projects would have to stop. Su Qiaoer knew exactly what her fate would be if that happened.
"Damn it, why did it turn out like this?"
Now that the stock price is falling rapidly, if there is no capital to continue buying the dip, it will likely fall even faster.
"Then... Chairman, I'll take my leave."
"Hmm."
After this person left, Su Qiaoer threw the things on her desk onto the floor. One could imagine how terrible Su Qiaoer's mood was right now. The person who left the Chairman of Su Group's office sighed when they heard the sounds coming from inside the room.
Suddenly, Su Qiaoer thought of someone.
Zheng Tian.
Thinking of this person, Su Qiaoer quickly dialed Zheng Tian's number.
"Su Qiaoer."
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Tian answered the phone.
"Xiao Tian, where are you right now?"
"At home, what's wrong?"
Zheng Tian looked at Father Zheng, then coughed and said so.
"I want to meet you now."
"Alright, where?"
"Hmm... the coffee shop across from the Su Group, is that okay?"
"Sure."
Hanging up the phone, Father Zheng looked at Zheng Tian.
"What's wrong?"
"Su Qiaoer said she wants to meet with me..."
"I see. Go ahead."
"Hmm..."
Zheng Tian stood up, drove away from home, and twenty-something minutes later, Zheng Tian appeared in the coffee shop.
This was the first time Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer had met in these past few days.
"Su Qiaoer, what's wrong? Why did you call me out in such a rush?"
Zheng Tian looked at Su Qiaoer, his tone full of curiosity.
"The money invested in Su Group's stock is gone..."
"Ah? No money left? How is that possible? Wasn't there 60 billion? How is it suddenly all gone? Su Qiaoer, what's going on?"
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.
"Recent events, one after another, have caused the company to completely collapse. The stock price is falling crazily, so we had to keep pouring money in, but there were too many people selling stocks... which led to the money running out."
"Xiao Tian, only you can help me now... Can you talk to your uncle and ask him to support us with some funds? I know your uncle still has some funds on his end."
"So... help me, please?"
Hearing this, Zheng Tian was slightly stunned.
"Su Qiaoer, the Su Group is truly beyond saving now. Even if you invest more capital, it's useless. It's a bottomless pit."
Su Qiaoer's face turned ugly upon hearing this.
What did that mean?
Was the other party unwilling to help her?
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... never mind... stop worrying about the stock price. You still have some good quality assets. Relying on these quality assets, you can still make money, right?"
Zheng Tian looked at Su Qiaoer. The current drop in stock price only proved that the market had no trust in the future of the Su Group, but Su Chemical was still standing strong. However, neither Zheng Tian nor Su Qiaoer knew that they wouldn't be able to protect Su Chemical either.
"Xiao Tian, but isn't the Su Group in this state because it helped you and your uncle back then? I don't need too much, 20 billion would be enough."
"Can you?"
Su Qiaoer looked at Zheng Tian, her tone full of pleading.
"Su Qiaoer... let me go back and ask my dad? You know... these kinds of things... still need my dad to make the decision."
"Okay, then remember to call me."
"Hmm..."
When Zheng Tian left the coffee shop, he sighed. He knew Father Zheng had quite a bit of funds in his hands, but whether there was 20 billion was uncertain, and Zheng Tian was also unwilling to take it out.
Does Zheng Tian like Su Qiaoer?
If he liked her, he wouldn't have run away before they got married. And the reason he came back to marry Su Qiaoer this time was because Zheng Jie's actions had scared him, making him afraid that everything at home would be taken away by him, so he came back.
And now, his plans were almost impossible to realize, so in his view, Su Qiaoer had almost lost her utility value. So... honestly, Zheng Tian didn't want to help Su Qiaoer at all.
Returning home, Father Zheng looked at Zheng Tian.
"What did Su Qiaoer want with you?"
"She said the Su Group has no money left and wants us to support them with some..."
"Support? The Su Group is a bottomless pit right now. If we support them at this time, it's just a bottomless pit..."
Just then, Father Zheng suddenly realized something.
"Su Chemical is a good company, isn't it?"
At this moment, Father Zheng looked at Zheng Tian.
"That's right, it really is a good company. Dad, what's wrong?"
"What if... we use some money to get shares of Su Chemical? How about that?"
"But... Dad, Su Qiaoer wants 20 billion. How much of the shares do you want?"
"If it's 20 billion, then 20%."
Father Zheng was still ruthless.
20 billion to buy 20% of Su Chemical was basically equivalent to a cabbage price.
This was practically robbery.
"But... Dad, Su Qiaoer won't agree, right? This is blatant robbery."
"If she's not willing, then let her watch the stock price plummet... and then get kicked out of the position of Chairman of Su Group."
Hearing this, Zheng Tian also started calculating in his heart.
If they got Su Chemical, then for them, it would be a huge profit.
Even if the Zheng Group was in the hands of Zheng Jie, so what?
They would have re-acquired Su Chemical, this stable cash cow.
And the Zheng Group still had 40% of the shares in their hands...
So the father and son calculated it together.
"Then... Dad, I'll give it a try."
"Hmm, give it a try."
