218: Don't get angry with the dead
After collecting the money, Liu Gaoda left in a hurry.
In the car, Liu Feijie asked, puzzled, "President Liu, she looked down on you so much, why didn't you take it seriously?"
Liu Gaoda glanced indifferently at Liu Feijie, looked straight ahead, and said matter-of-factly, "Because she's already a dead person!"
"What's there to be angry about with a dead person?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Feijie was confused.
Liu Gaoda said, "All of this is President Qian's plan!"
"President Qian's plan will definitely not be this simple. The goal is to swindle the Shanjing Consortium out of a large sum of money, at least several billion, not just a mere one billion."
"What do you think the Shanjing Consortium will do to Wei Xiaoyan if they lose several billion?"
"I saw that Wei Xiaoyan has 10% of Bingmi Milk Tea's shares!"
"If she really had that much money to buy shares in Bingmi Milk Tea, with her personality, she wouldn't have come to President Qian for an interview!"
"She doesn't have much money, yet she owns 10% of Bingmi Milk Tea's shares. She must have reached an agreement with the Shanjing Consortium."
"If the Shanjing Consortium suffers huge losses and Bingmi Milk Tea is gone, Wei Xiaoyan's fate will either be death or something even worse than death!"
"People should be a little kinder. The other party is about to face such a great calamity. Before she dies, just consider it a good meal for her!"
Liu Feijie was quite surprised.
He had always thought that Liu Gaoda was able to thrive because of President Qian.
But he never expected him to be so clear-headed.
Liu Feijie gave a thumbs up: "President Liu, your way of thinking is too advanced, far beyond what people like us can compare to!"
Liu Gaoda smiled modestly: "Actually, I'm not that magnanimous, but there's four hundred thousand!"
"Who has the time and inclination to be angry with her when they can get four hundred thousand?"
"Let's go, let's go have a good meal first!"
...
Meanwhile, Yamai Makino returned to his office and immediately began thinking of ways to raise money.
As the Vice President of the Shanjing Consortium, he used his position to embezzle some funds from the Shanjing Consortium.
Coupled with selling off some of his own assets, he finally managed to gather some money.
After getting the money, Yamai Makino rushed to the Bingmi Milk Tea headquarters.
"Mr. Shanjing!" Wei Xiaoyan bowed to Yamai Makino.
Yamai Makino said eagerly, "I've raised some money!"
"You only have one task now, and that is to quickly make money for me!"
"Do everything you can to make Bingmi Milk Tea profitable!"
Only if Bingmi Milk Tea makes money can it provide him with funds to repay the money he embezzled.
Furthermore, he also needed to use Bingmi Milk Tea to secure bank loans.
However, bank loans have an approval period and also require Bingmi Milk Tea to be profitable.
The more money Bingmi Milk Tea makes and the better its performance, the more money it can borrow from the bank.
Of course, it would be easy to borrow tens of millions from the bank in Bingmi Milk Tea's name.
But tens of millions wouldn't do much good; he needed to borrow hundreds of millions, even over a billion, to cover all the embezzled funds.
Wei Xiaoyan said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Shanjing, I will definitely make Bingmi Milk Tea profitable!"
She had a reason for being so confident.
After taking over Bingmi Milk Tea, she carefully thought about a strategy to turn losses into profits.
It was actually very simple.
Now that there was no need to compete with Qingyue Milk Tea, there was naturally no need for such low prices.
Of course, prices couldn't be raised too much.
They just needed to put up banners and tell customers that Bingmi Milk Tea had reconciled with Qingyue Milk Tea.
Then prices would naturally return to normal.
Secondly, they would reduce employee salaries.
Some employees would resign, but most employees should continue to work.
After all, even if she lowered salaries to below ten thousand, it would still be the highest salary in the entire milk tea industry.
Would those delivery drivers, if they didn't sell milk tea, go back to delivering food?
So, as long as there were some funds to ensure that a portion of employees who resigned could receive N+3 compensation, then their salaries could be normally reduced.
Hearing Wei Xiaoyan's assurance, the Shanjing Consortium transferred six hundred million to the company account.
Just then, Shi Yongchang of Bingmi Milk Tea called him.
Seeing that it was Shi Yongchang calling, Yamai Makino's expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Mr. Shanjing, the bank has already called me. If we don't push the stock up, the bank will sell our company's shares!" Shi Yongchang said urgently.
Yamai Makino said, "Bingmi Milk Tea has a big problem right now. I need to solve Bingmi Milk Tea's issues first!"
"Although we acquired Bingmi Milk Tea, Qian Ziyong left us with many pitfalls."
"We really don't have any extra funds to buy Qingyue Milk Tea's shares!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yongchang's face changed dramatically.
What did this mean?
Was he going to watch the bank sell his shares?
Wouldn't that crash his company's stock and bankrupt him?
Shi Yongchang took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Shanjing, if Qingyue Milk Tea's stock collapses, I, Shi Yongchang, will lose everything."
"If I lose everything, then I won't be able to find college students for you anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Yamai Makino said with an ugly expression, "You don't need to find college students for me anymore!"
It would be good enough if he could survive now, how could he have other thoughts?
As the saying goes, 'when one is well-fed and warm, lust arises.' Now that he couldn't even protect himself, nothing else mattered.
Hearing Yamai Makino say this, Shi Yongchang knew that the other party was determined to not care about his life or death.
Shi Yongchang said sternly, "I have left evidence of everything you've done."
"If I'm well, then everything is easy to talk about!"
"I'll even provide you with college students. But if I'm not well, and Qingyue Milk Tea collapses, then don't blame me for dragging you down with me!"
"I will hand over all the evidence to the police and release all the videos online!"
Upon hearing this, Yamai Makino panicked.
This was going to ruin his reputation!
If it spread online, his position as Vice President would be in jeopardy, and he would also go to jail.
Oh, right, that college student who jumped off the building.
No wonder she specifically emphasized it when she was with him before; it was to threaten him.
If she jumped, then the judge would rule harshly against him, and he might have to serve a life sentence.
Once he lost his usefulness, would the Shanjing Consortium protect him?
No!
They would kick him aside!
"I will take out two hundred million to buy your Qingyue Milk Tea's shares." Yamai Makino said coldly.
"Good!" Shi Yongchang readily agreed.
...
Wei Xiaoyan began to busy herself, raising milk tea prices and lowering employee salaries, doing everything possible to make Bingmi Milk Tea profitable.
Upon learning that their salaries had been cut by 30%, the employees of Bingmi Milk Tea were instantly filled with indignation and felt very uncomfortable.
Not only were their salaries reduced, but they no longer had luxurious work meals, and they could no longer eat lobsters and crabs.
This was like a bolt from the blue, striking them down.
