Chapter 35 Crisis

Hearing this, Josh was very furious. Behind these lives, there might be more than ten families, and perhaps most of the people would become the member of single-parent families just like him! "Chairman Lin, the director of Jinqiang Group named Jinqiang Xiang has caused many death in these years. That’s the reason for his fame today, he doesn’t care about the lives of those migrant workers at all," Bob said. "Such bastard should be chopped into pieces!" Josh said fiercely. Just at the moment, Bob's secretary rushed in again. "Chairman Lin, President Liu, Huading Group’s headquarter is calling that they have received many phone calls form customers, complaining against our company for the accident happened in Huajing Garden." The secretary reported. "Damn! It is obviously deliberated by Jinqiang Group for a long time!" Bob slammed on the table. Then, Bob looked at Josh and said palely, "Chairman Lin, the houses in Huajing Garden are one of the most important parts for our company with great investment this year. And now the first-site construction is about to finish and the houses are to be delivered. If we can’t make a deal this time then we have to endure heavy losses and thus leading to a terrible performance." "How much will we lose if we can’t make the deal?" Josh asked. "We have invested 1.5 billion yuan in the first construction and the expected benefit is 600 million to 800 million yuan. The fail of the deal will severely affect our capital chain, I'm afraid that our branch can hardly bear it." Bob said with gloomy eyes. "That’s probably what Jinqiang Group wants to see." Josh said with narrowed eyes, then he continued, "But it's also what I can’t accept!" As the chairman of the company, Josh could take his pocket money to offset the losses if the company couldn’t afford it. However, Josh had made up his mind that he would definitely brought more profits for the company since he first took over it. He wanted to prove himself before his grandfather. It would be shameful for him to made such a big loss under his management, and he would feel embarrassed to visit his grandfather. Therefore, Josh couldn’t bear such a huge loss. Hearing Josh’s words, Bob inquired, "Chairman Lin, do you have any solutions?" "Let me think." Josh lowered his head to ponder. Although he wanted to eliminate Jinqiang Group immediately, addressing the problem of the house order was more urgent. ...... Provincial City, the manor in Liu family. Master Liu was sitting on the sofa in the white main building situated in the center of the manor. "Master Liu, Young Master is in quite a big trouble this time." The secretary next to him said. "It is really a big question for him." Master Liu nodded. "Then ......, do you want to help him? Jinqiang Group is very reckless to bully us. Our group are not that weak. As long as you command an order, they will be eliminated at once." The secretary said. Master Liu smiled, and shook his head, "I won't take the initiative to help him unless he begs me, it is really a good opportunity to test his ability. I'm eager to see that whether he can solve this problem or he will ask for my help." As for Master Liu, he would definitely help Josh if been begged, however, he would be disappointed at him as well. Master Liu still hoped that Josh can solve this trouble by himself. He would feel pleased even if Josh failed. At least, he chose to try rather than asking for help when incidents happened. "Master Liu, Young Master has not much business experience, and is easy to get anxious. I'm afraid that he can’t solve this problem perfectly." The secretary said. Master Liu smiled, "We'll see." If it was in the past, Master Liu would definitely think that Josh couldn't handle this matter. However, Josh surprised him in the previous two incidents, so this time, he entertained hope. ...... Qingyang City, in Qingyang branch of Huading Group. Josh was still contemplating. The problem of the dead man in Huajing Garden was indeed very tricky for Josh. This was also the most difficult problem Josh had encountered since he became the chairman of the board. At this time, Bob presented his opinion, "Chairman Lin, I do have a suggestion, what about reporting it to the headquarter and asking for help. After all, you are Master Liu's grandson, he won’t simply stand aside." "That's right, President Liu, that's really a good suggestion." "Yes! It's the best way." The two managers next to him nodded their heads in agreement. "No! I will never ask my grandfather for help!" Josh shook his head decisively. The reason was simple, since Josh wanted to make his own achievement, of course he couldn't ask his grandfather for help when problems happened. "Then, Chairman Lin, how are you going to solve this problem?" Bob inquired. After a moment of pondering, Josh raised his head and said, "Inform all the buyer of those houses that we will give them twenty percent discount, well, thirty percent! The extra money paid by them will be refunded within a month." Josh’s idea was simple, that was to lower the price until it was attractive enough! Thirty percent discount was definitely attractive to them! If the worth of the house was 1 million yuan, then 300,000 yuan would be saved! This was definitely a great discount! "Thirty percent off?" Hearing this, Bob and two other managers were all very shocked. There had never been a thirty percent discount since the establishment of Huading Group. It was important to know that Huading Group had a very good reputation, and the houses it built could be sold without any discount. Especially in the last few years, the demand for commercial houses had surged, and there was no worry about selling them. People had to snap up the house built by Huading Group. So, thirty percent discount would break a record in the selling history! "Chairman Lin, if we give a thirty percent discount, the first phase of Huajing Garden will be done in vain and we will only earn tens of millions at most!" Bob said. "In the current situation, not losing money is already the best result, if we can’t keep those customers, instead of earning money, we will lose 1.5 billion yuan." Josh said. A manager next to him added, "But Chairman Lin, I’m afraid that the discount may not solve the problem, after all, their reason for not buying the house was the unwillingness to live in the place where once had dead people. Offering discount is not an effective solution." Josh definitely understood their concerns, however, under such situation, there was no better choice. He didn’t expect to earn money at all and keeping their cost was the best result! "Just do as what I said and deliver the news to every client!" Josh waved his hand, then, he added, "It's their choice to keep it or not. As for those who don’t accept it, just return their money and resell the houses at thirty percent discount" "Copy that!" After receiving the order, both the account manager and engineering manager left the office hurriedly. The account manager was in charge of contacting customers on line, while the engineering manager went straight to the sales department to inform the customers gathered in there. After they left, Josh was praying in his heart that they could keep their cost. He hoped that those customers would accept the discount and kept the house, or his company would endure a loss of 1.5 billion yuan. "Chairman Lin, you really surprised me, it definitely takes courage and determination to make such a critical decision," Bob praised. Even as an experienced businessman, he didn’t dare to make such decisions for if it was wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. He really admired Josh. "I have no choice but to make such decisions." Josh said helplessly.
