Chapter 441

I think you want to kill me!

Looking at the approving gazes of the other directors in the conference room, the middle-aged woman's chest began to heave violently, as if all the blood in her body was rushing to the top of her head against the flow, and her two tightly clenched hands were as cold as a dead person's.

Letting Charle Hydraulic Company go bankrupt directly could certainly avoid most of the compensation, and it seemed to be a plan that was good for all the directors, but except for her own Charle Department Store, because this hydraulic company also bore the name "Charle"!

Once she really agreed to their proposal and let Charle Hydraulic Company go bankrupt, most of the resentment would be counted on her own family, and one could imagine what would happen later.

Angry citizens couldn't storm the Road Administration, nor could they boycott the three old noble families, but they could boycott the business of her own company, and they could storm the buildings of Charle Department Store scattered all over the capital!

Don't look at the fact that her own department store now occupies more than 70% of the capital's market share, but as long as the impact of this matter spreads, the stores everywhere will soon become deserted and suffer endless harassment and even theft!

"You... you wish!!!"

Looking at the expressions of the other directors, which were mixed with faint ridicule in their coldness, the middle-aged woman, who was dressed in luxury, breathed rapidly for a few times, then twisted her fist and hammered the table hard:

"Don't forget that we are the ones who invested the most! And you all signed an agreement at the beginning that our Charle Department Store has a veto power! As long as I don't agree, none of your proposals can pass!"

"If this is the answer you give, then I can only express my regret."

After glancing at the hysterical appearance of the middle-aged woman, the middle-aged man from the Lionheart family shook his head, crossed his fingers, and sat in the sofa, saying calmly:

"Since you insist on giving unreasonable compensation and cannot reach a consensus with everyone on the business philosophy, then our Laien family will withdraw."

"In addition, according to the original contract, we are going to conduct a round of voting next. If the voting passes, we can still take away this year's dividends, but looking at your appearance..."

After looking at the woman's bloodshot eyes, the middle-aged man from the Lionheart family shook his head and said:

"Forget it, there's no need to continue wasting time. Our Laien family gives up this year's dividends. I wish everyone who stays a smooth operation."

"You... you are playing the rogue!"

Seeing that someone actually chose to flip the table at this time, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but say angrily:

"This year's dividends are not even enough for half of the compensation! And! The water supply matter was clearly controlled by you. Now that something has happened, you actually have the face to walk away?"

"Cough cough... Mrs. Charle, what you said is wrong."

The old man with the rose emblem embroidered on his chest cleared his throat and reminded slowly:

"The veto power in your hand can decide whether a proposal passes, but it can't decide whether others stay or go, right?

In addition, sorry, I cannot accept your proposal. Our Ma Sai Ni family is also withdrawing. I wish you a smooth operation."

"Our York family is also withdrawing."

"You... you guys..."

Seeing the three old noble families collectively throw in the towel, clearly having communicated with each other in advance, the middle-aged woman, who had no way out, subconsciously cast her gaze toward the other two families.

"Sorry, this matter is a natural disaster and has nothing to do with our Road Administration."

After looking at the middle-aged woman who was going crazy with some sympathy, the official from the River Bureau of the Road Administration shook his head and said:

"Although the dam of our Road Administration was washed away, the direct cause of this accident was that the hydraulic company did not operate according to the process. Our Road Administration will not allocate funds for compensation."

"Our Ministry of Agriculture is the same."

The official from the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture also shook his head and said:

"Our Ministry of Agriculture does not participate in the water supply business. Even if I apply for an allocation from above, it cannot be passed. So the only thing we can do is to report to the above that the hydraulic company has suffered losses this year and give up receiving dividends. As for the rest, please forgive me for being powerless."

"..." So... in the end, didn't it all get thrown to me!!!

"You can't go!"

Looking at everyone in the conference room preparing to get up and leave, the middle-aged woman, whose heart was burning, couldn't help but clench her teeth and stomp her feet hard:

"If you leave, it's equivalent to giving up other parts of the business besides the water supply part! Not only will there be no more dividends in the future, but don't even think about getting a penny of the money for building the factory in the early stage!"

"Since we have made the decision to withdraw, we are naturally prepared for these."

The middle-aged man with golden hair raised his eyelids when he heard this, and reminded with a calm face:

"Mrs. Charle, you seem to have forgotten that most of these businesses of the hydraulic company were brought in by us. And if no one buys your 'products', a company with strong production capacity has no meaning at all.

After withdrawing from Charle Hydraulic Company, we can completely pull up a new company with the same business, and we can even wait for Charle Hydraulic Company to go bankrupt and directly acquire its corpse for less than one-tenth of the original price."

"Oh, and one more thing."

Looking at Mrs. Charle, who was clenching her teeth subconsciously and had become pale, the corners of the golden-haired middle-aged man's mouth turned up slightly, and a few expressions appeared on that paralyzed face for the first time.

"Besides the hydraulic company, our three families are also very interested in the department store business. After the department store we are building is completed, you and Mr. Charle are welcome to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"..."

"You... you did this on purpose?!"

Looking at the smile on the golden-haired middle-aged man's face, the middle-aged woman's brain seemed to have been electrocuted, and her whole body trembled instantly.

No wonder... no wonder such a low-level accident occurred! It turned out that this matter was aimed at her own family from the beginning!

The money for building the hydraulic company had already locked up her own family's funds. Now that the hydraulic company had an accident on the eve of breaking even, the huge compensation plus the completely ruined reputation was enough to force her own department store into a dead end and spit out all the market share she had occupied!

And these three days of negotiations, rather than saying that they didn't reach an agreement on the compensation plan, it was better to say that it was to stall her reaction time and let the whole thing spread and ferment slowly.

Even letting those protesters come near the hydraulic company, and then letting the security department beat them, but not driving them away completely, was also to make the matter blow up quickly!

No! Not right! There's more!

Looking at those directors who used to respect her very much but were now full of ridicule in their eyes, the middle-aged woman only felt the world spinning in front of her, and she stumbled under her feet.

It was clear that her family didn't need to participate at the beginning, and they could also build a hydraulic company. There was no need to pull Charle Department Store in and give her family money for nothing.

So this was a trap from the beginning! From pulling her family to invest and naming it the hydraulic company, their goal had never changed. It had always been to swallow her family's department store!

I... I... how could I be so stupid!!!

"Mom? Mom!"

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was in a bad state, the doll-faced girl with a worried look behind her hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

And after noticing that her mother suddenly rolled her eyes and kept mumbling, but couldn't spit out half a clear word, the doll-faced girl's expression couldn't help but change, and her voice instantly carried a bit of crying.

"Someone! Come quickly!"
