The assistant's exclamation made Dai Shiya's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition came over her. "Tell me slowly, what happened in the company?" She said calmly, trying to calm the assistant's emotions.
"Mr. Dai, the latest financial statements are out, and the company's capital chain... seems to have a big problem!" The assistant was sweating profusely, with a hint of panic in his tone.
Dai Shiya immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and she quickly turned on the computer and pulled up the latest financial statements. The figures on the report were shocking, and the company's current funds on the books were far lower than expected, and even insufficient to pay the employees' salaries next month.
How could this happen? Dai Shiya frowned. The company had been running well, so how could it suddenly run out of funds? She flipped through the detailed financial data, trying to find the root cause of the problem.
At this time, Wei Qing called, "Shiya, I just got the news that shareholder Qian has been contacting other companies privately recently and seems to be interested in selling his shares."
Dai Shiya was shocked. Shareholder Qian was one of the company's old shareholders and held a considerable proportion of the shares. If he really sold his shares, it would inevitably cause panic among other shareholders, and the company would then face a greater crisis.
"I see. I'll go find him right away."
Dai Shiya immediately drove to shareholder Qian's residence. After meeting shareholder Qian, she asked directly, "Mr. Qian, I heard that you want to sell your shares. Is this true?"
Shareholder Qian sighed, looking a little unhappy, "Shiya, it's not that I want to sell, it's just that the company's current situation is not optimistic. Look at the financial statements, the capital chain is broken, the project is stagnant, how long can this company last?"
"Mr. Qian, please don't worry. If there are any problems with the company, we will find a way to solve them." Dai Shiya tried to comfort shareholder Qian. "You are a veteran of the company and have deep feelings for the company. You should help us overcome the difficulties at this time."
"We should tide over the difficulties together? How? I think this company will be ruined sooner or later. If I don't leave now, I won't even be able to get back my investment!" Shareholder Qian was a little agitated. "Shi Ya, you are young and don't understand the risks involved. You should get out of this while you still have a chance, or you will be dragged down by the water!"
Dai Shiya looked at the once high-spirited entrepreneur in front of her, who had now become so depressed because of fear, and she felt mixed emotions. She knew that it was useless to say anything now, and she had to find a reason that could convince the shareholder to give up the idea of selling his shares.
"Mr. Qian..." Dai Shiya just started to speak, but was interrupted by a ringing phone. It was Wei Qing calling. She took a deep breath and answered the phone. "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Wei Qing's calm voice came: "Shi Ya, don't worry, I have thought of a solution..."
"Shiya, don't worry, I've thought of a solution..." Wei Qing's voice was calm and steady, like a tranquilizer in a storm. She briefly analyzed the current situation to Dai Shiya and made a bold suggestion: "Qian, the shareholder, is most worried that his shares will become worthless. If you want him to change his mind, you must let him see hope."
"Hope?" Dai Shiya muttered to herself, and a light bulb suddenly lit up her mind. "You mean, find a new profit point?"
"That's right!" Wei Qing confirmed her idea. "As long as the shareholders can believe that the company still has development potential, he will naturally not be in a hurry to sell his shares."
Dai Shiya hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and looked out the window with a determined look. How easy is it to find a new profit point? But she had no way out and had to grasp this last ray of hope.
As for shareholder Qian, his anxiety was not relieved by Dai Shiya's persuasion. He kept swiping his phone, and all kinds of negative news about the company's broken capital chain and stagnant projects were overwhelming, which further strengthened shareholder Qian's determination to escape.
He dialed a familiar number and said in a low voice: "Lao Li, I have thought about the acquisition intention you mentioned last time. We can talk about it..."
Dai Shiya returned to the company and immediately called a meeting with the company's top management to discuss countermeasures. She told everyone Wei Qing's suggestions and began to analyze the company's various businesses to find new profit growth points.
Time was running out, and Dai Shiya had no time to rest, and plunged into the mountains of reports and documents. She carefully studied the profitability of each project and the operating data of each department, trying to find a breakthrough.
Late at night, the company's office building was still brightly lit. Dai Shiya rubbed her sore eyes. The desk was already piled with various documents and charts. She leaned back in her chair tiredly, but her eyes were shining with determination.
"There must be opportunities, there must be opportunities..." She murmured to herself, picked up a research report on overseas markets, and read it attentively.
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and shareholder Qian walked in with a gloomy face. He looked at the desk full of documents and the exhausted Dai Shiya, and sneered: "Why, are you still dreaming? Don't waste your energy, the company has already..."
He stopped talking, his eyes fell on the report in Dai Shiya's hand, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Qian's voice was like a basin of cold water, pouring over Dai Shiya's head and extinguishing the flame of hope in her heart. She raised her head tiredly, looking at the old man in front of her who had fought side by side with her father but now only wanted to escape, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Uncle Qian..." Dai Shiya put down the report in her hand, rubbed her brows, and tried to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. "The company's situation is indeed very bad, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties."
"Work together?" Shareholder Qian seemed to have heard something funny. He sneered, "Look who is working together with you now? The whole company is in a panic, and the news of the broken capital chain has spread everywhere. Do you think you can turn the tide?"
"I'm not trying to turn the tide. I just want to do my best to preserve my father's hard work!" Dai Shiya stood up suddenly, her tone firm, "This report is the overseas market research I compiled. Our company's new products have great potential in the overseas market. As long as we can find sales channels..."
"That's enough!" Shareholder Qian interrupted her impatiently, "Stop telling me these unrealistic things! Overseas market? How easy is that! Do you think I haven't thought about it? In terms of funds, channels, and connections, which of us can compare with those big companies?"
He walked up to Dai Shiya, lowered his voice, and said earnestly: "Shiya, listen to my advice, don't waste your energy. The company is now a sinking ship, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. While there are still people willing to take over, sell the shares quickly, and you can save some losses."
Dai Shiya's heart gradually sank. Qian's words were like thorns that stung her nerves. She knew that Qian was telling the truth and that the overseas market was indeed full of difficulties, but she was unwilling to give up.
"Uncle Qian, please give me a little more time and I will prove to you that there is still hope for the company!" Dai Shiya bit her lip, with a stubborn light flashing in her eyes.
"Time? I don't have time!" Shareholder Qian shook his head and turned to walk out the door. "I've decided. I'll go talk to the buyer tomorrow. You should prepare well."
After that, shareholder Qian left the office without looking back, leaving Dai Shiya standing there alone, looking at the documents on the table, feeling unprecedented powerlessness and frustration. But she knew that now was not the time to give up, she had to cheer up and find new hope.
The phone screen on the table lit up. It was a message from Wei Qing: "How is it? What did shareholder Qian say?"
Dai Shiya took a deep breath, tapped the screen quickly, and replied: "The situation is not optimistic, but I will not give up."
The message was sent successfully. Dai Shiya put down her phone and her eyes gradually became firm. If the way of being a shareholder was not feasible, she had other options. She picked up the overseas market research report, her eyes flashing with determination.
On the other side, shareholder Qian walked out of the company gate, got into his car, and dialed a phone number.
"Hello, is this Lao Li? I have made up my mind. Let's meet tomorrow to discuss the share transfer..."
Shareholder Qian's back disappeared from sight. Dai Shiya sat back in her office chair weakly, tapping the table with her fingertips, tapping the anxiety in her heart. Shareholder Qian's attitude was firm, and the people in the company were panicking. The funding problem was like a sword of Damocles hanging over her head, which could fall at any time and cut off the hard work of her and her father.
"There must be other ways..." Dai Shiya muttered to herself, her eyes swept across the overseas market research report on the table, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Although shareholder Qian was a veteran of the company, he was short-sighted and only cared about the immediate interests, and could not see the huge potential of the overseas market.
She picked up her phone and quickly looked through the address book. Her eyes finally stopped at a name - Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was another shareholder of the company. He was an upright person and had a close personal relationship with her father. Perhaps he could...
"Beep...beep..." The sound of the phone being connected beat like a drum in Dai Shiya's heart.
"Hello, Uncle Wang, I'm Shiya..." Dai Shiya tried to make her tone sound calm and laid out the company's current difficulties and her own thoughts.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Director Wang's low voice came: "Shiya, don't worry, I will think about it carefully. I have also heard a little about the company's affairs, so don't worry too much, everything will be over."
Although Mr. Wang did not give a clear answer, the concern and support in his words still comforted Dai Shi. Putting down her phone, she took a deep breath and turned her attention to the files on the computer screen. Since the problem of capital chain cannot be avoided, she can only find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and buy time to open up overseas markets.
As night fell and the lights came on, shareholder Qian had no intention of appreciating the bustling night scene. He sat in a private room of a high-end restaurant, and opposite him sat a thin, sharp-eyed stranger.
"Mr. Li, I have decided. I will transfer all the company's shares to you." Shareholder Qian put on a flattering smile and pushed a document in front of the other party. "This is the contract I drafted. Take a look. If there is no problem, we can sign it now."
The man called Mr. Li took the document, looked through it carefully, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "Mr. Qian is indeed a straightforward person. It's a pleasure to work with you."
The two toasted to celebrate, and as the wine flowed, shareholder Qian seemed to see himself escaping from the predicament and living a stable life. However, what he didn't know was that an invisible giant net was slowly closing in on him, and what was waiting for him would be a more cruel reality.
At this time, Dai Shiya was sitting in front of the computer, carefully analyzing the company's financial statements in recent years. Suddenly, an email broke the tranquility of the night. The sender was an unfamiliar address. She hesitated for a second and clicked on the email...
