Chapter 480: Before the hearing

As soon as the car door was pushed open, a large group of reporters swarmed over. The constantly flashing lights made the President of the Liji Group unable to help but frown.

His bodyguards and secretary immediately raised the handbags in their hands to block between the President and these lenses, avoiding the President from being stimulated by the flashing lights and having an adverse reaction.

"Mr. President, how do you view the Supreme Court accepting your appeal case?"

"From the information and evidence released so far, there is no content that can be appealed. Is it true that the outside world says you intend to default on the debt again?"

Most reporters' topics were concentrated on the word "default." The Liji Group's negative news was not just one or two, and they had long since stopped caring.

News like "beating farmers to force them to sell crops to them" or "Liji Group violating professional ethics and tearing up contracts" was too much; it happened every year, and there were quite a few.

But people in the Liji Group company didn't care, the shareholders didn't care, and investors in the financial market cared even less! As long as you can bring stable profits, who the fuck cares where you grabbed this money from, or where you stole it from.

As for the negative impact? It certainly exists, but the Federation is a country that talks about evidence and law. If you think the Liji Group did something wrong, you have to produce evidence.

In the past few days, the Bailide Group has even dispatched harvesters to help farmers reduce unnecessary expenses and strive for more farmers to join them.

The company lost money, the shareholders lost money, the investors lost money, but he made money. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

"Some of them are trying to develop the Valley District, some are focusing on building the Jingang Wharf and Port District, and some want to shake off the previous administrators and create a political achievement of their own."

"The city is in constant expansion and is inherited in a disorderly manner; everyone has their own ideas."

Hearing Lanse say this, he felt relieved.

The President always maintained a smile. He raised his hand and pressed it down. "This is what you deserve. You have also done quite a few things for the company over the years. You have proven your attitude toward the company through actual actions."

After the two commercial mutual-flattery for a while, the President let the Vice President leave. He then made a phone call to the Chairman of the Board. "No problem, very normal."

"Also, ask what happened and why the matter of the appeal was leaked."

The President smiled and raised his hand to pat the Vice President on the shoulder. "By then, you will be the best candidate for Group President!"

But whether this promise will be fulfilled, no one knows. Perhaps because of some matter he did that did not meet the wishes of the President or the Board of Directors, it was shelved.

But what was the result? Their agricultural products eventually rotted in warehouses and fields. Bailide and Nongda companies could not open a separate transportation channel for the little profit!

If a doorman owns 66.7% of the company's shares, then even if this doorman is just a doorman, he is also the supreme king of this company—

Even if the company loses a large number of users because of this, even if it is cut in half, they still have a 20% market share, which can still bring him massive profits.

"But I always feel something is not quite right. You talk to him."

"You did this matter very well. After the court opens, the materials and evidence in our hands are not enough to let us drag the result for too long."

What they are talking about is the matter of "why the Vice President could suddenly clear the relationship and let the Supreme Court accept this appeal case." Their own public relations also spent quite a bit of money, and they couldn't ensure they could definitely handle it.

Now the two sides of the "competition" are all in their places; the next is the competition moment! The second day after Lu Ka arrived in New Jincheng, many media came to interview him. In front of the media, he bitterly complained about the despicable behavior of the Liji Group, accusing that because the Liji Group delayed the delivery time, the business of the Sky Garden Trading Company on the Tanfite Continent suffered huge losses.

You just need to negotiate a price with them!

"You know, we also tried, but the progress was not very obvious."

There are too many high-rise buildings here; everywhere you see are buildings taller and bigger than those in Jingang. There are more pedestrians on the street, but what makes him feel a little incredible is that the traffic situation here is actually much better than in Jingang!

Lu Ka was a little worried. "If they take pictures of me, will I expose my identity?"

This is not a simple matter. It's not that I plant things from the land, then harvest them, literally transport them out, and sell them.

99.99% of it.

Listening to the President, who was like a story but believed it incomparably, he no longer had doubts. He gave high affirmation to the Vice President's love for the company.

The President walked out from behind the desk. He let the Vice President sit by the sofa and asked casually, "It's going to open in a few days, and there are some things I still want to ask. How did you clear the relationship with the Supreme Court?"

It cannot be ruled out that this is a possibility of commercial fraud, and this is also the reason why some people think the Liji Group's appeal is reasonable.

However, some people also raised opposing opinions, thinking that this case should be tried together with the dock worker retaliation case. There is an obvious causal relationship between these two cases.

Because most of the "victims" are just ordinary people, and they happen to have relatively strict control over these ordinary people, so in the end, most of the problems were left unsettled.

Because the voting power in his hands exceeded the "majority," the shareholders' meeting and the Board of Directors both became his one-man show. He can pass any plan he wants to pass and can also oppose any proposal he doesn't want to pass.

His tone became slightly more respectful. The Chairman of the Board is the absolute core of the company. Even if he can not respect him, he must maintain a respectful attitude.

Capitalists know too well how to make dogs wag their tails frantically without spending money!

"As the core area of federal politics, the development of New Jincheng is inherited in an orderly manner."

Letting the Vice President continue to increase his holdings of company stock is actually increasing his power within the company.

"I asked about the case of the Supreme Court appeal through the relationship of some friends. There is no problem."

He also had a little friendship with the Bailide Group and had the opportunity to use Lanse as a springboard to connect with congressmen.

When everyone's philosophy of developing the city is the same, the development of the city will become more unified in beauty.

Reporters cannot really run to Tanfite, where the war is breaking out, to verify whether there is such a company, and whether this company compensated for a large sum of money because of liquidated damages.

For businesses involving logistics, transportation, and storage like this, they will not rashly open a new route; most of them are constantly trying to push to the surrounding areas on the basis of the original market.

The group's news spokesperson has publicly stated more than once that they are willing to accept the final judgment of the court and hope that all media will use the court's judgment as the benchmark for the truth of the event.

Lu Ka praised sincerely, "You know so much!"

What is his status, what level of person is he, how could he do public relations so smoothly? Plus, the media side also got the news, so Chairman Mr. couldn't help but suspect whether the Vice President was being used.

Sitting in the car, Lanse explained this problem for him. "Anyone can be the mayor of Jingang. People from anywhere, with any background, as long as their coming to power conforms to the interests of the party, then even a cat or a dog has a chance to be mayor."

He didn't wait for the person on the other side to understand or understand clearly; he hung up the phone directly.

So they are not too worried that the Vice President will betray the company, just worried about whether he will be cheated by others.

Since they dared to do this, they naturally found a suitable reason for the Vice President, which is nothing more than that he found a "key man" through some connections.

The duty secretary who had been waiting for a long time immediately hugged a large stack of documents, and her high heels made a clatter-clatter sound on the marble floor, following closely behind the President. "This is the integral document sent in the middle of the night..."

"The Chairman and I have talked in the past few days. He is not young, and in a few years, he plans to step down as Chairman of the Board. By then, I might step down as Executive President and turn to take over his work."

The President nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, if there is a need, I will call you..."

Even if the President is here.

In the past few days, the Chairman finally remembered Lanse's name. The President naturally would not object. "I will call the police station later."

Some farmers are determined not to sell things to the Liji Group. They tried to resist.

"So you still need to work hard here. If you have any needs, just tell us. As long as we can do it, we will try our best to provide for you."

He quickly processed the most urgent documents, and then, while letting the secretary send in a pot of coffee, he took these documents away to process them.

The secretary followed the President's walking-with-wind pace and said, "Yes, it has been placed on the case table at your door."

"... Mr. called the office not long ago, asking if you have time to chat with him simply."

"Hmm, remember to tell me the result."

They will reserve the right to pursue all media that spread rumors!

"You looking for me?"

In the past two days, Lu Ka also came from Jingang to New Jincheng. The huge city made him, who originally had a feeling of being a "city person," suddenly feel a little short of breath.

"It's me."

It cannot be said that there is no problem, but there is no big problem in logic. Even the Vice President didn't use much of the company's money—

The moment the President's office door was pushed open by him, the secretary stayed outside the door. Without the President's permission, she could not enter the office.

The President was silent for a while. "I also feel it's a bit suspicious, but this is not a bad thing for us."

The two entered the elevator. The secretary also took the initiative to press the floor button, and then the elevator closed the elevator door, making this and the outside world two worlds.

This is the President's exclusive elevator, which will go directly to the door of the President's office. The secretary said all the work arrangements for today. The President made some simple adjustments, and after signing a few words, the elevator door also opened after a burst of ringing.

The Vice President's status, position, and wealth are all closely related to the company.

"Also, arrange for someone to check how Steven died. I suspect this matter has something to do with Lanse and the others."

After hanging up the phone, the President made a call to the Vice President, asking him to come to his office. A few minutes later, the Vice President walked in, seemingly full of energy and high-spirited.

He couldn't help but be high-spirited; he would soon be promoted to Group President and could increase his holdings of company stock.

"This is... a report submitted by the department this morning, which requires you to make a decision before 9:35."

He didn't think the Vice President would stab them in the back; after all, they were on the same side.

Families like the Lawrence family, who have large farms and their own sales channels, are ultimately a minority.

How much power a management layer has in a company is not seen by how high his position is, but by how much voting power he has.

The Chairman still felt something was not quite right, but couldn't say where it was wrong, just instructed, "Be careful."

But the Supreme Court suddenly accepted this case, and the Vice President said he did it through public relations, which made people unable to understand.

Didn't hear clearly?

Lanse smiled and changed the subject. "Your task this time is relatively easy. There will be media interviewing you soon. By then, you just need to show strong indignation."

"President's office."

The President did not refuse. "I will talk to him as soon as possible."

The police chief is like a trash can to the powerful; whoever wants to use it can use it, and it doesn't cost money.

After taking a few documents he needed to process immediately from the secretary's hand, he entered the office and picked up the propaganda department's phone. "Give some money, let those reporters outside roll away. I don't want to see them again when I go out for lunch at noon."

"And who reads the newspaper and stares at a man's photo?"

This is an industry where low profit and high profit coexist. As long as you lower the moral bottom line a little, you can earn more money.

"After the middle of next year, I will consider proposing to the Board of Directors to let you increase your holdings of company shares."

They only care about one thing now, and that is whether the Liji Group can win this lawsuit, and whether justice can be upheld! Some socially famous activists have already stated that if the Liji Group can still win this lawsuit, then this is the failure of federal justice, the failure of fairness and justice!

This requires extraordinary organizational ability, capital backing, and commercial operation. Do you expect those farmers to be able to do this? And they may not really be able to get enough profits from their own agricultural product sales to do so, so in the end, they still have to rely on these agricultural product channel merchants who come to the door to purchase.

He used a favor, his father's favor, and used his own family's favor for the future of the company. Isn't this what capitalists pursue?

Since the moral bottom line has been lowered, who cares about these? The Chairman walked into the company's luxurious office building with big strides. There was no change in his expression on his face. He had experienced too much and was used to it.

In these "hinterland" farms, the days of the farmers are not so easy.

If the company is not good, he is not good.

"Thank you and the Board of Directors for your trust!", the Vice President expressed his excitement in time.

"The schedule for this morning is..."

Except for circulating shares, other shares of the company are counted and owned. If the Vice President wants to increase his holdings, then someone will definitely reduce their holdings. This actually involves the adjustment of the company's equity structure, which is not a small matter.

"Chairman, is there anything?"

There are actually many problems here that ordinary people cannot solve, such as the rough processing, fine processing, transportation, storage, how to sell, where to sell, product competition, and a bunch of corresponding problems.

If the company is good, he is good.

The Vice President has shares of the company, not many, and is also in the company's decision-making layer, but similarly, he is not in the core decision-making layer.

"But the inheritance of New Jincheng is orderly. Behind every mayor, there is a clear or unclear line, so they can better carry on the past and open up the future in urban planning and design."

At the same time, the policy they give to these "battlefield" farmers is also the most favorable, just to consolidate the territory.

And this key man has a certain influence on the justices. After paying the favor debt and a certain amount of money to let this key man take action, the Supreme Court accepted the lawsuit.

A person has been bowing and scraping for decades, and suddenly stood up. How could he not be happy? And he also thought about it himself. Even if the group company suffered a heavy blow in finance, it was only temporary.

He is talking about the "New Port District" and "New Bay District," which is the current mayor.

Lanse shook his head and said, "No, someone will put on makeup for you, and you will wear a pair of glasses. Even people who are very familiar with you will not remember who you are for a while."

"Let's leave it at that. Have today's newspapers been brought?"

The Vice President was full of excitement. "Even without these, I would still work for the company. This is like my second home..."

He finally had a little leisure time. While tasting coffee beans that cost dozens of dollars a pound, he picked some news reports he was interested in to understand. After that, the internal phone in front of him rang.

Didn't hear clearly? Can't do it well? It doesn't matter! The next successor will do it well.

There are two days left before the court opens. Suddenly, a large number of situations of shorting Liji Group's stock appeared in the financial market. For a time, Liji Group's stock appeared to have a large-scale shock.

Quite a few consulting agencies gave a "wait and see" hint, not thinking that now is a good time to enter the market.

But there are also some companies that gave views of selling or holding. These are judgments with obvious speculative behavior.

Clearly, this is not a very special and important lawsuit, but some people have gradually felt that something seems not quite right, because the heat of the media is too high, and the heat of public opinion participation is also too high.

It is like there is an invisible black hand, pushing all this forward behind the scenes! ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
