Chapter 792: Chapter 811: Qian Duoduo is Speechless
The entire situation had collapsed.
Qian Song was at his wit’s end.
The company’s management department had received a summons from the Federation Court. At first, he thought it was just a handful of people and that it wouldn’t affect sales at all.
But he hadn’t expected the lawsuits he’d received over the past few days to involve more and more people each time.
By now, the number of plaintiffs had grown so large that he could no longer handle it.
What was even more terrifying was that public opinion was plummeting. Plus, the rival sauce had higher production capacity, faster shipping, and the taste...
The taste was even better than his. The number of new customers was dwindling.
It dwindled and dwindled until it reached a critical point.
He panicked.
The feeling that the situation was spiraling out of his control welled up inside him.
He looked at the company’s financials. After selling so much crab roe sauce, the account should have held assets in the hundreds of billions...
However, the massive spending on opening factories, purchasing machinery, stocking crab fry, and maintaining crab ponds had already eaten up all the revenue.
The little that remained wasn’t even enough to cover the initial costs.
’What should I do? What should I do... Is there any way out of this?’
Flustered, Qian Song was in a foul mood. He sent a communication request to Wang Nian Nian.
The once-confident female CEO was speechless. All she could manage was, "Let’s just clear out the pre-orders. We should lower the price... Mr. Qian, the sauce’s flavor is still fine. As long as we lower the price, we’ll definitely get some sales!"
She seemed to be trying to convince Qian Song as much as she was trying to console herself.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Lower the price?" Hearing her meek and spineless suggestion, Qian Song lashed out, "If we lower the price now, we won’t be sued for deposit refunds anymore!"
He tore into Wang Nian Nian, dressing her down completely.
After chewing her out for a good ten minutes, he finally felt some of his anger subside.
But just then, the internal line in his office rang.
Hearing that sound, Qian Song was like a mouse that had just run into a cat.
"Dad... Dad..."
"Yes, yes, Chairman Qian. I was wrong, but it’s not entirely my fault. It’s just that Qian Xingxing is too cunning," he argued, trying to make excuses. "The gap between our skills is just too wide."
He gave a whole slew of reasons, blaming everything and everyone. In short, none of it had anything to do with him.
Qian Duoduo, on the other end, was about to explode.
He’d been at the helm of the company for so many years and had never encountered such a screw-up.
It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but they had always maintained their number-one spot without much drama. Ever since Qian Xingxing left and Qian Song arrived, however, he felt like everything was cursed.
Take this proposal, for instance. It had seemed so promising when he’d first reviewed it.
He had to go on a business trip for a while, but he kept an eye on things. Initially, the situation looked excellent, and he thought they could finally score a win.
But the moment he landed back on Federation Star, he was greeted by a world of scandal.
A lawsuit? A class-action lawsuit with thousands of people?
This was no longer a matter of money. It was a matter of reputation.
Standing at the zenith, at the very peak of their industry, he knew perfectly well how important a company’s reputation was. But this prodigal son—
He was truly living up to his name.
Qian Song. It was as if his name meant ’give away money.’
Ever since he returned to the Qian Family, that’s all he had done.
"Get your ass up here."
"Bring that company of yours and get up to the top floor!"
...
Qiuqiu had no idea that while she was ’sound asleep,’ the fiery movement raging across the Star Network had come to a close.
An old fox is an old fox, after all.
It took real guts to kick his own son to the curb.
As soon as he understood the full situation and knew the sauce factory couldn’t be saved, he immediately decided to cut his losses to survive.
