452. Chapter 446: Hard Confrontation

The last incident alarmed the entire company headquarters board of directors. In addition to earning huge profits less, they also fired some people in the evaluation department.

This is clearly caused by these staff members' observation of the future trend of agricultural product prices not being detailed enough, the evaluation not being accurate enough, and the inference not being bold enough!

If they knew from the beginning that the price of grapes would skyrocket, would they encounter so many troubles?

No!

They wouldn't have any trouble, wouldn't need to fight lawsuits with anyone, and they could completely rely on the precise grasp of the market to earn more money!

The general manager's words made the vice president think of the high-multiple liquidated damages. "I remember the board of directors discussed that it is not allowed to sign contracts with excessively high liquidated damages."

He is hinting at whether this contract violated the board's decision.

If so, then they will pursue the corresponding responsibility of the manager who signed the contract.

Many people will think... an employee of a company, although given the name of a manager, is essentially just an employee.

Even if her responsibility is pursued, how much loss can be made up?

If it is only from the aspect of making up for the loss, it is indeed not much, but capitalists never want "making up for the loss."

Things that can't be found back, they don't expect to find back.

The purpose of pursuing responsibility is to create a tragic individual case as an example for other employees of the company.

Look, someone didn't listen, causing huge losses to the company; she can't even afford pants now.

If this person can be forced to commit suicide, that would be even better, and it could have a greater effect!

Capital is always cold and heartless; if dipping in human blood to eat the dividends brought by death is something people find unbearable.

Then stuffing the corpse directly into the mouth is the bottom line of the enterprise.

The general manager explained hurriedly, "This contract is all in line with the company's rules and regulations." If there is a problem with this contract, he will also have to bear joint liability, and he doesn't want to bear joint liability.

The vice president was silent for a while. "You send me the information of that person or whatever company, and I will let someone check it."

Soon the two names, Lanse White and Lu Se Buffen, entered the vice president's eyes. After he hung up the phone, he contacted a friend of his in Jingang City.

Monopoly channel merchants like the Liji Group have friends everywhere.

As long as there is a supermarket in this area, people live, as long as they need agricultural products, then even if they don't order goods from the Liji Group, they will maintain a good relationship with them.

Capital operation is never a simple thing.

The person on the other end of the phone connected the phone quickly. After simple pleasantries, the vice president turned the topic to his purpose.

"There is a matter related to Jingang City. I don't know much about the situation there. Perhaps you can give me some help?"

His friend also knew that this was the main point, and said cautiously while weighing, "I will try my best to help you."

He picked up the paper that recorded the names. "There are two people here, one called Lanse White, one called Lu Se Wood."

"I want to know who they are and what is special about them?"

"Lanse White?"

The vice president captured some surprise emotions from the other party's tone. "Do you know him?"

His friend pondered for a while. "In Jingang City, I only know one person called Lanse White, and that is the leader of the 'Lanse family'."

The vice president asked cautiously, "The family you are talking about... wouldn't it be a gang?"

In the Federation and even the world, "family" is a very broad concept.

Gangs can also be called families, capital groups also have families, political interest groups also have families, even the damn farmers in the countryside have families!

So he must first figure out what kind of family this "Lanse family" is?

His friend agreed. "Yes, a gang, entrenched in the Empire District and the Port District; you can think of them as a large and successful gang."

"And this Lanse is very young, he has strong wrist, everyone says he is a powerful character."

He also said one or two facts related to Lanse to prove his point; Lanse is a character.

But the vice president suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

A... gang leader?

Well, although the underground order of many cities is indeed held and operated by gangs, from the upper dimension of this country, gangs seem to be a little bit not enough to look at.

"As for the Lu Se Wood you mentioned, I don't know this person, I can't provide any information."

The vice president's mood had changed a lot at this time. "Thank you for your help, I think I know what to do."

"I plan to buy a yacht recently, and I can put it at the Jingang wharf by then; if you need to use it, you can take it."

The two chatted about ordinary topics for a while and hung up the phone.

For the vice president, the most well-known gang in Jingang City is the five major families. If Lanse and the Lanse family are just a gang, then finding the police is obviously not as useful as finding a gang!

He knows people from the Keda family, Bandi, Gao Li, and Bandi's son Fleming.

Fleming graduated from Jinzhou University, the Liji Group headquarters is in Jinzhou, and the children and family members of most members of the board of directors are also students of Jinzhou University.

Jinzhou University belongs to the elite university alliance; the concept of "elite university alliance" was proposed by a senator, previously called "human elite alliance."

Later, because some people thought that this title might cause misunderstandings and had some sensitive position connections, the word "human" was removed.

He pointed out, "The correct rotation of society needs the elites of human society to control the direction; the Federation should concentrate its strength to cultivate a group of elites who can lead the Federation to brilliance and truly realize the federal dream of all federal people."

Under the leadership of this senator, some well-known universities in the Federation joined the elite university alliance to cultivate elites for society!

Interestingly, these elite university alliance colleges do not completely look at their learning ability and grades when selecting students.

More is to look at the recommendation letters in their hands.

Perhaps for the ruling class, the so-called elites naturally refer to their children.

The vice president has seen Bandi twice in some activities organized by the school.

Bandi is very enthusiastic about Fleming's studies, and every year he will take out a lot of funds to let Fleming organize various activities in the school.

Although Fleming is in Jinzhou University, an elite institution, in the eyes of true "elites," he is just a money bag, a dog leg.

Therefore, the vice president knew Bandi who was handing out business cards everywhere and knew the Keda family.

A wealthy, violent gang organization.

He always bragged that in Likalai State and Jingang City, there is nothing they can't do, and he indeed knows that some people have solved some problems through Bandi, so the vice president also believes that this time, they can solve it too.

He called the general manager directly. "Go and talk to those people; it's best to talk, and if you can't talk, don't be too polite to them."

"We don't accept any fraud and coercion; if they want to fight a lawsuit, then fight it!"

"Also, figure out why that wheat sprouted."

"When necessary, I will take action."

Hearing the vice president say this, the general manager naturally had no other concerns. "I know how to handle it, Mr. President."

After ending the call, he made a call to the wharf. "Bring that Mr. Lu Se here; I will talk to him personally."

At this time, Lu Ka was still standing on the wharf very uneasily, the delivery note in his hand was held tightly by him, and the contract was also placed in the briefcase.

Those people were obviously very panicked; he probably knew what Lanse did, but didn't know how he did it specifically, and what the result was.

But now it seems, it seems very successful.

This gave him more confidence. "It said above that I can load the ship before two o'clock in the afternoon; I want to ask, can I see my goods?"

At this time, a staff member corrected his words. "Mr. Lu Se, before you pay the final payment, this wheat is not your thing."

Lu Ka caught a small loophole. "Are you trying to breach the contract?"

That person didn't speak; there is no doubt that they are highly likely to breach the contract!

Just at this time, someone suddenly walked over. "Mr. Lu Se, the general manager hopes to talk to you personally."

Lu Ka hesitated for a while, nodded and agreed, then took the car arranged by their company and arrived at the Liji Group office building.

The ground that could reflect people made him feel a bit trance; the moment he stepped into the lobby, a beautiful blonde opposite sex appeared in front of him.

She looked like she was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing very professional clothes, and also wearing black-rimmed glasses.

This did not affect her appearance, but added an impulse to want to blaspheme her; she had a smile on her face, bowed slightly, "Mr. Lu Se, I am the manager's secretary, the general manager has been waiting in the office for a long time, please come with me."

Lu Ka was still very reserved and polite in front of beautiful women; he nodded slightly, tidied up his clothes, and followed her toward a separate elevator.

His attention was completely focused on the secretary's butt, very round, very full, but not exaggerated.

The aesthetics of the federal people have not evolved to the point of needing an exaggerated big butt; what they appreciate more is a natural beauty!

The secretary could also vaguely feel the hot gaze from behind; the more this was the case, the harder her butt twisted.

"Really damn hot."

Lu Ka licked his lips; he could fight two now, at most three.

His gaze kept staring at the butt in front of him; when this butt stopped, he didn't even react the first time, almost bumping into it!

Feeling the pressure brought from behind, the secretary rolled her eyes; she knocked on the general manager's office door. "Mr. Lu Se is here."

"Please come in..."

Lu Ka entered the office, saw the general manager sitting behind the desk at a glance, took a deep breath, and walked over.

The general manager circled out from behind the desk, shook hands with him by the desk, and then asked the secretary to send two cups of coffee in.

It is morning now, not afternoon, no need for pastries.

Without waiting for the general manager to speak, Lu Ka spoke first. "I wanted to pick up the goods at the wharf just now, but people in your company kept talking about other things; did something happen?"

The general manager had been observing the expression of this Mr. "Lu Se." He suddenly said, "Don't you know what happened?"

Lu Ka showed a very short surprise, hesitation, and suspicious expression, but it was such a short change, perhaps a flash, that was captured by the general manager.

He was more certain that this Mr. Lu Se must be in contact with Lanse, or even in the same group.

Thinking of this, he leaned back on the chair, and his expression became more calm.

He looked at the guy in front of him seriously; he was sure that this person should not be a gang member.

He didn't have the street feeling that gang members would have, but gave people a feeling of a middle-class loser.

Lu Ka shook his head cautiously. "I don't know what you are talking about."

The general manager's fingers clicked on the armrest. "Let's talk honestly, is this Lanse's idea?"

Lu Ka shook his head. "I don't know what you are talking about, we are a company engaged in international trade..."

The general manager raised his hand, stopping him from continuing. "You know better than me what happened to that wheat; if you can't decide, let Lanse talk to me, he is the one who can decide!"

Lu Ka continued to play dumb. "I don't understand what you are talking about at all, what's wrong with that wheat?"

"Also, who is Lanse?"

The general manager looked at Lu Ka who was unwilling to admit it, and spread his hands. "We can't load the wheat, but we won't give you money either; if you want to sue, go sue."

"This is clearly a commercial fraud; you used despicable means to try to get more liquidated damages, but I think you made the wrong idea!"

In fact, no matter whether this person is related to Lanse or not, the final result is the same; want to get liquidated damages?

Fight a lawsuit!

This is also the simplest and most effective means for capital groups to deal with such cases; the Liji Group faces so many lawsuits every year, they have already counted as a kind of "litigation hooligan."

This word may not sound very good, and it will leave a bad impression on people, but this does not mean that they also have a bad impression in the judicial department.

If you want to make an impossible lawsuit possible, or let the judge make a judgment favorable to you, you have to find a way to take some side moves.

Bribery is illegal, but public relations is not illegal.

And the difference is—

You give the money directly to the judge, and the judge announces the judgment decision with a result favorable to you; this is bribery, it is a duty crime.

But you give the money to a public relations company, and the public relations company gives the money to the judge through their way; the judge is persuaded, adopts their reasons, and makes a judgment favorable to you; this is legal.

The Liji Group's legal team has enough reliable relationships in most states, and using these relationships can also affect states they are not familiar with.

The last failure was because their litigation object was a bigger "hooligan," a bank.

So they had no way, they could only admit defeat.

But this time, they learned from the last lesson.

The company's legal team has sent letters to major banks to remind banks that there may be such new fraud methods; on the other hand, they are also strengthening the construction of legal issues.

And they have already reported the case; before the case is investigated clearly, they can completely not rush to face the bank.

So the general manager is not worried at all; even if they mortgage the contract to the bank again, whether the bank accepts it is a problem, and after accepting it, if they want to collect things or money from them, they have to wait for the case investigation to end.

This takes a long time; if the criminal is never caught?

Then just drag it out; anyway, their wheat will not be delivered, and at the same time, they also ate 25% of the deposit; they earned money.

As for whether the bank will fight a lawsuit with Lanse, that has nothing to do with them.

Lu Ka looked at the general manager's indifferent appearance, and for a while, he had no way.

But fortunately, Lanse told him that as long as he finished what he should do, the rest didn't need him.

Lu Ka stood up at this time, his face looked at the general manager seriously. "We will sue you."

The secretary came in with coffee at this time, but saw that the conversation seemed to have ended.

She was at a loss with the coffee.

The general manager signaled that he could leave. "Please."

Lu Ka turned and left; when he saw the little secretary, he even hummed.

The secretary stood at the door looking at the general manager; the general manager signaled her to put down the coffee. "I can finish it!"

After Lu Ka left the company, he went directly to Lanse's office; he told everything that happened at the Liji company, and then looked at Lanse with some trepidation.

After all, they delivered 500,000, but got nothing; the Liji company decided to default again!

"Thank you for your hard work, I will solve this matter, you can rest a little, or go out for a walk."

"Leave the rest to me..."

After Lu Ka left, Lanse dialed the phone of Jonathan (vice president of the Baihui Bank Jingang City branch). "I have a contract..."

After listening to Lanse's description, Jonathan gave an answer that could not be promised. "This matter is not easy to handle; after we won the last lawsuit, the Liji Group sent a lawyer's letter."

"And just now, the head office called me and talked about this contract."

"The bank gave a high-risk warning, so..."

"Such a large sum of funds, if the head office doesn't agree, I can't approve it for you, although I am very willing to do so!"

If it doesn't involve a high-risk warning, he can try hard to get it approved.

But now that it involves a high-risk warning, it is very difficult to do this.

Although the bank will have many bad debts every year, from their cautious attitude, this is not what it should be.

It can only be said that where those bad debts went, it may always be a mystery!

After listening, Lanse was not discouraged, but comforted Jonathan instead. "It doesn't matter, Joe, I just want to take a shortcut."

"Since they don't let me take a shortcut, then I have to do something that everyone doesn't want to see."

After listening, Jonathan was a bit worried. "The Liji Group has a lot of energy in the Federation; perhaps I can help you meet their board members?"

Lanse refused directly. "They should take the initiative to meet me, not me meeting them!"
