108: Lin Jianjun's decision, a desperate one!!! Bai Susu's confusion [Long Chapter]

“Last chance to make a killing?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Lin Corporation, headquarters meeting room.

Countless shareholders, big and small, including Lin Jianjun, stared at Lu Bingkun, dumbfounded and incredulous.

Is this guy crazy?

What exactly is he talking about?!

Ignoring everyone’s bewildered gazes, Lu Bingkun habitually pulled out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said:

“Not many people know about the side effects of the cream yet. And I know there’s a large stock of beauty cream in the warehouse.”

“Originally, all of that could have been converted into a massive fortune, but now it’s all likely to be stuck in our hands.”

“Instead of wasting time on meaningless remedies, why not sell all the beauty cream in one go and make a huge profit?”

“…”

Lu Bingkun bent over, his belly protruding. The keys hanging at his waist jingled as he spoke.

But he didn’t care, still using his views to incite everyone present.

“To create the illusion of scarcity and stimulate consumer desire for more profit, we’ve been implementing a hunger marketing model recently!”

“Everyone here has more or less their own sales channels. We might as well sell all the products in the warehouse within the next few days.”

“Not only will there be no losses, but we’ll also make a huge profit. And after maximizing the value of our shares, we’ll immediately cash out and leave.”

“…”

After hearing Lu Bingkun’s suggestion, many shareholders present looked at each other.

They had to admit that while this method was somewhat heartless, for them… it was the option that maximized their interests.

As for the fate of customers who bought the products… what did that have to do with them?!

As the saying goes: I feed others, others feed me.

At this moment, many people’s eyes flickered, clearly tempted.

But the meeting room remained eerily silent, with no one taking the lead to express their stance.

They all turned their gaze to the man at the head of the table; he was the one who could make the final decision here… “You’re instigating me to commit fraud, aren’t you? I won’t do it! Get out, I absolutely refuse!”

“Your plan is utterly insane and inhumane. How could the Lin family, as a conscientious enterprise, harm consumers?”

“…”

Lin Jianjun cursed loudly, pointing at Lu Bingkun’s nose and telling him to get lost.

But these words, falling into the ears of everyone present, were extremely ironic, and they all simultaneously wore a ‘subway old man’ face… Meanwhile, in the small partitioned room, hearing Lin Jianjun’s flat refusal,

Bai Susu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her Uncle would be blinded by greed and agree to it.

“Uncle is truly so righteous! He must be one of the few conscientious entrepreneurs in the world today!”

Just as Bai Susu was full of admiration, silently giving Lin Jianjun a thumbs-up in her heart… Bai Yuelan, sitting beside her, looked strange.

She had shared a bed with Lin Jianjun for so many years; if he stuck out his butt, she knew he was about to fart.

She naturally understood that Lin Jianjun’s refusal was mainly because he was unwilling to give up his power and status in Lin Corporation.

If Lu Bingkun’s plan were actually implemented,

Even if they could make a quick buck in a short time, the Lin family would be completely finished, and Lin Corporation would certainly be removed from the list of companies in Magic City.

How could Lin Jianjun accept this?!

Not to mention him, even Lin Hao and his mother were a bit unwilling, but for now, there didn’t seem to be a better method… On the other side,

Lu Bingkun didn’t care about Lin Jianjun’s insults.

Instead, he reasoned with him, appealing to his emotions:

“Chairman, why get angry! Don’t forget, this incident has a wide impact and many victims.”

“As the legal representative of Lin Corporation! You are the most likely to face criminal charges and be stripped of your political rights for life.”

“Of course, it’s not just you; some business owners, sales personnel, production staff, and others present could also face the same danger.”

“My proposal, I believe, is the best choice for everyone. After one last crazy push, you won’t have to worry about the rest of your lives.”

“If it really doesn’t work, after getting rich, you can just immigrate to the United States. After all, one struggle can make three generations rich; only by fighting hard can you avoid failure.”

“…”

Originally, Lin Jianjun had been completely unconcerned.

But when he heard that he might go to jail, he suddenly panicked a little.

He thought about it carefully, and the situation could indeed develop as Lu Bingkun said.

After all, too many consumers were affected by this incident, which could easily provoke public outrage.

To quell people’s anger, as the highest person in charge of Lin Corporation, he was the most suitable to be pulled out by government departments as a scapegoat.

And given the severity of this accident, he would probably be sentenced to at least ten or eight years.

No!

I cannot go to jail!!!

Thinking of the miserable life in prison in his later years, Lin Jianjun immediately couldn’t hold back.

Compared to this terrifying future, so-called power and wealth seemed less important… “Chairman, actually, I think General Manager Lu’s proposal… is still worth considering.”

“Opportunity knocks but once! While our stock prices are still relatively high, let’s quickly sell them at a high price. By leveraging information asymmetry, we can make a huge profit.”

“Exactly. And the creams in the warehouse are the same! If we delay any longer, they’ll all become waste. We might as well scam as many as we can!”

“This isn’t fraud; it’s just a reasonable marketing tactic. Anyway, if they don’t buy our products today, they’ll buy someone else’s products tomorrow. It’s foolish not to make money when you can!”

“Seconded! Chairman, time is running out, make a decision quickly!”

“…”

In the meeting room.

Except for a small number of minor shareholders who still had some conscience, most were excited, constantly egging on Lin Jianjun.

Especially those responsible persons who had participated in the [beauty cream] incident, such as Bai Jinglong and others.

They even wished they could press Lin Jianjun’s head down to make him nod.

Everyone now only wanted to minimize losses and quickly make a big profit before Lin Corporation went bankrupt.

As for what would happen afterward? They didn’t want to care anymore!

Anyway, once they had money, they could just pack up and immigrate to the United States.

Under everyone’s instigation, Lin Jianjun, whose willpower was already not firm, finally announced his decision.

“All or nothing!!!”

“Old fellows! Since things have come to this, we can only go crazy first and rush for money regardless of everything.”

“Meeting adjourned! We don’t have much time left to make our profits…”

“By tomorrow evening at the latest, we must first sell all the inventory in the warehouse to the market, and then cash out our shares.”

“…”

Seeing Lin Jianjun make a wise decision, a relieved smile immediately appeared on everyone’s faces.

Following Chairman Lin, they could indeed get rich… For a time, led by Lu Bingkun, thunderous applause erupted.

Clap, clap, clap!!!

Afterward.

At Lin Jianjun’s wave, a group of people quickly left the meeting room and began their final frenzy… In the small partitioned room.

Listening to the deafening applause outside.

Lin Hao and his mother looked at each other, both seeing the unwillingness in the other’s eyes.

The once vast Lin Corporation was already a sure thing, their prize.

They had previously yearned and looked forward to the moment they would ascend to the top of Magic City.

Unfortunately, years of effort were now about to be wasted.

Oh well, oh well!

Now, they could only make as much money as possible.

Such a large corporation, if operated properly, should allow them to acquire a massive fortune in the end.

Then, with money, they would have the capital to rise again; at worst, they could leave this city and live elsewhere.

After the storm passed, they could register a new company name… Thinking of this,

Lin Hao and his mother smiled again.

It seems things aren’t too bad after all?!

Everything is still under control!!!

Meanwhile, the three Bai family brothers, sitting not far from them, all couldn’t help but frown and sigh.

They weren’t lamenting the demise of Lin Corporation.

Instead, they felt a little regretful, thinking that the Bai family might never find such a good target to leech off of as the Lin family again.

Facing Lin Jianjun’s final desperate decision,

The only thing everyone present felt was regret, a helpless reluctance about the impending demise of Lin Corporation.

Only one person expressed incomprehension.

“Aunt, Cousin! Go quickly and stop Uncle!”

“If we really let this go, there will definitely be many innocent victims.”

“Do you know what disfigurement means to a person, especially a girl? This is truly too cruel!”

“…”

Looking at Bai Susu, who suddenly ran up to them, crying and complaining, Lin Hao and his mother both got a headache.

They almost forgot there was a Mother Mary here!

What to do now?

“Su Su! This is unavoidable! You have to understand your Uncle.”

“A while ago, Lin Xuan extorted 3.5 billion from us, and now we don’t even have a place to live, forced to squeeze into the employee dorms.”

“Money isn’t everything, but without money, you can’t do anything. Can you understand?”

“…”

Facing Bai Yuelan’s earnest persuasion,

Bai Susu shook her head firmly and began her righteous speech:

“Aunt, money is an external possession. As long as it’s enough to spend, that’s fine. We can’t lose our conscience for money!”

“Besides, Uncle is committing fraud, which is illegal and very likely to land him in jail.”

“As for a place to live, you can all come live at my house! I believe Father and my brothers will be very welcoming.”

“…”

Hearing this,

The three Bai family brothers nearby looked a bit unnatural.

Although it was just three more mouths, the Bai family wasn’t short on rice, but who would want several freeloaders suddenly appearing in their home???

Especially if they moved in and possibly stayed for an unknown amount of time?!

Noticing her Aunt’s pleading gaze,

Reluctantly,

Bai Hai stood up, rubbed his shiny bald head, and instantly put on a sorrowful expression.

“Little sister. Stop making trouble, Aunt and the others have their own considerations. Besides, Aunt and the others still owe Tiger Lord hundreds of millions?!”

“If they don’t quickly raise money to pay it back, you know how terrifying Tiger Lord can be, don’t you?!”

“And our Bai family, ever since we emptied our family savings and even borrowed 100 million last time, we are now living beyond our means.”

“Tiger Lord is pressing us hard, hounding us for debt every day. He’s threatening to sell us to Northern Myanmar to harvest our kidneys!”

“We desperately need this life-saving money now! Little sister, can you bear to see Father, Mother, and us living on the streets after the Bai family goes bankrupt?”

“Are you really going to sacrifice your own family for the sake of your perceived justice?!”

“…”

The three Bai family brothers all looked pained and sorrowful. They knew their sister too well.

Talking to her about the pros and cons was useless; it was better to directly put a “family” hat on her to stop her “righteous actions.”

Sure enough, after hearing her brothers’ words… Bai Susu was struck by lightning, her brows furrowed, and she stumbled back several steps.

Faced with “family” and “justice,” she was suddenly at a loss, her beliefs wavering.

She couldn’t bear to see so many innocent people get hurt.

But she also couldn’t ignore her family’s predicament.

What should I do?!

Finally,

Bai Susu looked distraught, tottering as she walked out of the room… “Little sister.”

Seeing her sister’s helpless and desolate back, Bai He’s pupils were filled with heartache and worry.

He stopped fiddling with his dark long hair and quickly stepped forward, intending to follow her, but was stopped by his eldest brother, Bai Hai.

“Don’t go, let Su Su calm down by herself!”

“We’ve protected her too well all these years, never letting her encounter any darkness.”

“But this is actually detrimental to her future. Su Su’s personality is too easily deceived, and we can’t guarantee to protect her for life.”

“This is a good opportunity to let Su Su be stronger, to know that life is often unsatisfactory. Blind kindness might only harm herself and others.”

“…”

There was a struggle in Bai Hai’s eyes.

But his words remained firm, watching Bai Susu leave the room alone.

He also realized… it was time for his little sister to learn to grow up… On the other side,

Bai Susu walked aimlessly through the corridors of Lin Corporation.

Looking down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could still see the crowd protesting with banners.

If she did nothing… how many such victims would there be?

But if she tried to stop it, what about her family?

Just as her brothers said, without sufficient funds, the Bai family itself would be in jeopardy.

Moreover, both families currently had high-interest loans; if they couldn’t pay them back then… Recalling not long ago,

At Tiancheng Entertainment KTV, Tiger Lord’s terrifying face, and many frightening rumors about him, Bai Susu couldn’t help but shiver.

What should I do… I wish I had money.

If I had money, all these problems could be solved easily.

But I simply can’t come up with that much money?!

Unless… Bai Susu’s eyes lit up, and a figure flashed through her mind.

If it were him, he would definitely be willing to lend me money.

As long as I can borrow a few hundred million, enough to pay off the high-interest loans, that’s all that matters…
