Chapter 1974: Chapter 1974 timely a.s.sistance (first update)
The core members of the Hong family surrounded Old Madam Hong and looked down at the share purchase agreement. They were faintly moved by the number on the agreement.
Although this price was completely insignificant compared to the Hong Group’s valuation a month ago, it was probably less than 1% .
However, after a month of bloodshed, the sales of the Hong Group plummeted, and the valuation also decreased sharply.
In addition to the impending lawsuit, the Hong Group was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation.
Seeing such a share acquisition agreement at this time was like sending charcoal in the snow, making it difficult for many people to resist the temptation.
“Guo Huining! You’re a traitor! You actually colluded with outsiders to frame our Hong Group! I Won’t let you get away with it!”Old Madam Hong was furious and threw the share acquisition agreement out.
The white A4 papers scattered around the courtroom and drifted down to the nearby audience seats.
Gu Nianzhi reached out and caught a few of the purchase agreements. She looked at them curiously.
Guo huining tilted her head and avoided the Sharp A4 papers. Her smile did not change, she said, “Old Mrs. Hong, don’t say such old-fas.h.i.+oned things. What era is this? You’re still colluding with outsiders… Do you still think you’re the old feudal lord?”
She had once envied old madam Hong’s ability and imposing manner, and had once fantasized about becoming a person like old Madam Hong in the future.
Unfortunately, Old Madam Hong mercilessly chased her out of the Hong Corporation, which she had worked for many years, and shattered her beautiful dream.
“I dare not.”Old Madam Hong’s face sank. “Guo Huining, don’t you know what you have done in our Hong Corporation? We didn’t spare our hands to deal with you, and you really treated it as if nothing had happened?”
Guo huining laughed. “Old Madam Hong, I’m waiting for you to deal with me. But before you deal with me, you’d better pay the amount of their claim first…”
Her eyes were jumping with the joy of victory, and her relatively calm facial features seemed to have become lively.
The moment the amount of the claim was mentioned, these core members of the Hong family instantly became nervous.
They began to advise Old Madam Hong One after another.”… old ancestor, let’s sell our shares. At least we can get some money back.”
“Look here. As long as we sell 80% of our shares, the other party will bear all our debts!”
“Apart from cash, we also have 20% of our shares!”
Support our newn0vel(0rg)
“Yes, yes! Old ancestor, if you insist on holding on, we will really have to liquidate and go bankrupt…”
“At that time, the shares in our hands would be just a few pieces of waste paper!”
Guo huining placed her hands behind her back and listened at the side with great interest.
The actions of these people were exactly as she had expected.
She had long said that most of these core members of the Hong Group were idiots, except for Old Madam Hong who was exceptionally shrewd.
However, Old Madam Hong’s shrewdness alone could not resist the stupidity of the entire family.
The eighty-something-year-old had no choice but to continue working. Every time there was a major decision, she had to make the decision herself.
The electric car project this time was too new. Old Madam Hong was really powerless, so she completely gave power to Guo Huining.
It was not that Guo Huining did not feel regret in her heart.
She did not want this either. She had sacrificed her youth and pa.s.sion for the Hong Corporation. Her feelings for the Hong Corporation were not any worse than the Hong family.
However, Old Madam Hong just didn’t like her and refused to accept her.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Old Madam Hong’s shriveled body became more and more hunched, like a pine tree that had finally been bent by the heavy snow. Only her old appearance was left, and she no longer had the feeling of vigor.
The Joy in Guo Huining’s heart couldn’t be described with words.
Just as these people were about to convince Old Madam Hong, Guo Huining slowly took out another agreement and placed it in front of the Hong family, she said with a smile, “Before signing the share purchase agreement, please sign this disclaimer agreement first. Only when the disclaimer agreement is in effect will the share purchase agreement you signed be in effect.”
Old Madam Hong was indeed very tired. She even wanted to use this opportunity to sell off the Hong Group.
None of her descendants were able to take on such a big responsibility. They were only suitable to sit at home and collect money to eat off their savings.
Such a large enterprise would soon be tormented by these unfilial descendants until there was nothing left after her death..
This was also one of the reasons why Old Madam Hong was anxious to go public overseas.
She wanted to use the opportunity of going public overseas to clean up the management structure of the group once again. She wanted to introduce a professional manager system so that members of the Hong family would gradually withdraw from the management of the group and only become shareholders who received money.
She had been surrounded by these family members and forced to sell her shares just now. She was really disheartened and wanted to sign and sell it.
Guo Huining was a traitor. She would look for Guo Huining to settle the score after she had settled the matter of the company.
But now, she saw Guo huining throw out another disclaimer agreement.
Old Madam Hong put on her reading gla.s.ses and took the disclaimer agreement and started reading.
After reading a few lines, Old Madam Hong couldn’t help but fly into a rage. She curled the disclaimer into a ball and threw it at Guo Huining’s face, she said angrily, “You want us to give up on holding you accountable? ! Dream On! — don’t even think about me signing it!”
“I’m not selling it anymore! At most, I’ll go bankrupt and liquidate!”
Old Madam Hong and Guo Huining were at loggerheads.
Guo huining dodged to the side, avoiding the lump of disclaimer that old Mrs. Hong had thrown at her.
Gu Nianzhi quickly stood up from the audience stand, grabbed the lump of paper, and sat down to open it.
It turned out that this disclaimer was the one that Guo Huining had asked the shareholders of the Hong Group to give up on pursuing her.
In other words, if the Hong family wanted to sell their shares, they had to sign this disclaimer, guaranteeing that they would not sue Guo huining for her actions in the Hong Group in the future.
Only when this disclaimer came into effect would the purchase agreement for the Pacific Rim Private Equity Fund come into effect.
This way, she would not have to worry about the Hong Corporation suing her for corporate espionage.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and said softly to Lu Jin,”… Guo Huining is a law student after all, so she’s quite protective of herself…”
Unfortunately, she was only protecting her own interests and did not care about the interests of others.
Guo Huining looked at Old Madam Hong mockingly, as if she was looking at a flying insect struggling in a spider web.
She dared to be the chief legal advisor of Pacific Rim Private Equity and was personally in charge of the acquisition of the Hong Group. Without additional protection, how could she stand out?
This disclaimer agreement was the sincerity shown to her by Pacific Rim Private Equity.
Lu Jin chuckled. He thought it was time and took out his phone to check.
Just then, his phone rang and an email came in.
Lu Jin quickly swiped open his phone and opened his email. As expected, he saw the email he had been waiting for.
Lu Jin did not have the time to read the email carefully. He handed the phone to Gu Nianzhi as if it was a treasure. He smiled and said, “Nianzhi, look, this is the first trick!”
Gu Nianzhi was a little confused. She looked at Lu Jin’s phone with his hand.
On the phone was an authorization notice from the National Intellectual Property Office!
The Huaxia Empire’s National Intellectual Property Office was written in large letters!
Patent number: 202810295609.1. Serial number: 2028025825006262.
Patent Holder: Lu Jin.
Name of Invention: high-power, low-cost battery for electric vehicles.
..
Gu Nianzhi suddenly looked up and looked at Lu Jin in disbelief. She said in surprise,”… Dad, you applied for a patent? !”
Lu Jin nodded with a smile, he said casually,”… your side is too backward. I Can’t take out my real invention now, so I modified it and reduced the battery’s function by 80% before applying for a patent. Don’t worry, it’s only three times better than the battery function of your best electric car.”
“And the cost is only one-third.”
Gu Nianzhi was so excited that she suddenly opened her arms and hugged Lu Jin. She whispered in his ear, “Dad, you’re Amazing!”
It was great to have a dad like that!
Lu Jin wanted Gu Nianzhi’s reaction.
He happily patted Gu Nianzhi on the back and said, “There’s a second trick. Do you want to see it?”
Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes!”
As Lu Jin spoke, he forwarded the patent authorization notice from the state intellectual property office to the technical director of Raft.
In less than a minute, the technical director of raft impatiently replied to Lu Jin’s email.
There was only one sentence on the email:”… just name your price!”
Lu Jin showed the email to Gu Nianzhi and said, “The second trick.”
Gu Nianzhi read the email for a long time this time and finally understood. She said,”… is this the company that was infringed on by the Hong Corporation and demanded a high amount of compensation from the Hong Corporation? !”
Lu Jin nodded. “That’s them.”
“Do you do business with them?”Gu Nianzhi asked curiously.
Lu Jin smiled. “Of course I didn’t do business with them before. I’m nothing here. Why would they care about me?”
“But it’s different now. I have a patent, and they will cry and shout that they want to do business with me.”
“That’s true.”Gu nianzhi nodded thoughtfully. “You really didn’t have anything before. Why would they negotiate with you…”
“That’s right.”Lu Jin wasn’t angry at all. He said frankly, “You have to have the ability to get other people’s attention. I didn’t bring those things with me. The only thing I brought was my own mind and knowledge.”
“Now I’m going to use knowledge to create wealth.”
His first pot of gold came from his invention, of course.
“Why did you think that your first patent was an electric car battery?”Gu nianzhi read the follow-up email from the technical director of the raft over and over again.
“I didn’t think about it. It was just a coincidence.”Lu Jin shrugged nonchalantly. “For me, choosing which patent to apply for is the most taxing.”
“Fortunately, Guo Huining reminded me. Then I’ll be the first to apply for the electric car battery patent. You guys are quite behind anyway.”
Gu Nianzhi was already used to Lu Jin’s style of speaking, but she still felt that Lu Jin’s words were very annoying.
“Dad, that tone of yours when you’re taking advantage of me…”Gu Nianzhi smiled as she nudged Lu Jin. “To be honest, I quite like it.”
Lu Jin was nervous at first, worried that Gu Nianzhi wouldn’t like it when he spoke like that, but he became smug afterwards.
He held his phone and replied to the “Raft”technical director’s email.
This time, the reply took a little longer, but it only took ten minutes.
“… Deal!”
Lu Jin handed the phone to Gu Nianzhi again and said with a smirk, “Now, I’ll do the third trick for you.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin’s phone. It was an email from the CEO of Raft.
They agreed to Lu Jin’s conditions and voluntarily reduced the amount of the settlement with the Hong Corporation. It was limited to a one-year patent fee and five percent interest.
This was like the difference between 100 million and 100,000 yuan compared to the sky-high compensation that they had previously proposed. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
At the front left not far away, Old Madam Hong had been threatened for a long time by the members of the Hong family, Guo Huining, and Dou aiyan. However, she refused to budge no matter what.
Just as these people wished they could hold her hand and sign the acquisition agreement, someone pushed through the crowd and came to old Madam Hong’s side. He said a few words to her.
Old Madam Hong’s shriveled face suddenly lit up. “What did you say? ! ‘raft’took the initiative to lower the amount of the claim? !”
“Yes, our company is willing to reach a settlement with Ms. Hong. This is the amount of our claim. Please take a look.”
Old Madam Hong lowered her head to look at the legally binding amount of the claim. Her hands were so excited that they were trembling.
Only this claim said that they only needed to pay a one-year patent fee and 5% interest!
Compared to the previous claim amount, it was like a drop from 100 million to 100,000. For the Hong Group, it was like a rain after a long drought.
The Hong Group was saved!
Old Madam Hong immediately laughed out loud.
She waved the claim form in her hand at Guo Huining and said with a laugh, “Guo Huining, just wait to receive the letter from my Hong Group’s lawyer!”
