Chapter 164 Money is just a tool to realize ideals
“On the evening of April 2, due to a sudden power outage and the negligence of internal employees, the cold storage failed and the efficacy of our batch of raw materials was damaged.< br>
In order to ensure product quality, we have no choice but to We had to make the difficult decision to destroy all expired drugs and bear huge losses.
This helpless decision indeed affected our cash flow to a great extent and put us in a crisis of broken capital chain. "
Gao Yuan continued to say "uprightly".
"What about our payment for the goods! Are you planning not to give it to us?"
"Yes! We are still waiting for this money to help with emergencies!"
"..."
The news was solid, and the low-level suppliers were immediately anxious.
"Sir, may I ask who you are..." Gao Yuan looked at the supplier who was causing the most trouble.
"I am Kang Wenhua, the manager of Baiyu Pharmaceutical!"
"Baiyu Pharmaceutical? Hmm! I have the impression that your company mainly produces roxithromycin raw materials, right? But if I remember correctly, Your final payment time should be at the end of this month, right?"
Kang Wenhua's tone hesitated and his voice became weaker.
"I know that our early payment is not in compliance with the contract, but with your company's current situation, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to get a penny!"
He looked at it He looked at Gao Yuan and sighed immediately.
"Director Gao, to be honest, I admire your company's approach very much.
Everyone here is an industry insider. They all know the current situation of the industry. They can still do it without hesitation even when funds are tight. I’m afraid few companies in this industry can do this to destroy all expired APIs!
For your aboveboard conduct, I, Lao Kang, have to give you a thumbs up!”
He changed the subject.
“But we are all running businesses, who doesn’t have hundreds of people waiting for support?
Our Baiyu Pharmaceutical Temple is small, and if we cannot collect millions of dollars in payment, we may go bankrupt!
It’s not that we don’t respect contracts or favors, we really can’t afford to lose! ”
These sincere words immediately resonated with the suppliers present, and the others nodded frequently.
Reporter Liu Tao’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
< br>However, he did not feel the same way, but his keen sense of news allowed him to grasp some hidden information in the other party's words...
Gao Yuan looked at everyone's reactions and nodded.
"Manager Kang is right. We are all business operators, and no one has the obligation to pay for other people's nobleness. That is moral kidnapping.
Although I took over Evergreen Biotech not long ago, But I also understand the principle of 'don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you'
So don’t worry, since I have decided to do this, I will bear all the consequences of doing so and will never drag others down.
In fact, the company’s financial problems have already been solved. Something to look forward to!”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Director Gao, are you telling the truth?" Kang Wenhua was doubtful.
"Of course! President Lu of the Suzhou Branch of Sujiang Bank is also present. He came here today specifically to discuss bank loans with us.
Are you right, President Lu?"< br>
Gao Yuan cast her eyes towards the middle of the crowd.
President Lu: "..."
Everyone's eyes followed Gao Yuan's eyes.
In an instant, Mr. Lu became the focus of the audience.
He was a little confused, I just came to have a meal, what does it have to do with me!
Especially when the media camera turned to him, President Lu felt a rush of grass and mud horses rushing past in his heart.
"Ahem! That's true."
President Lu could only nodded to everyone with a stiff face, but he cursed in his heart.
Come here to discuss bank loans with you. This is true.
But shouldn’t we talk about this kind of thing in private?
He vaguely realized that Gao Yuan is asking you to enter the urn!
"Our company has cooperated with Sujiang Bank for loans in the past. However, not long ago, the bank suddenly stopped lending, which happened to coincide with the failure of the cold storage, so the funding problem became worse.
Alas! President Lu, You have also seen the situation now. Suppliers have come to ask for help. Our company We really need this money urgently, and it is not an exaggeration to say that our life or death depends on this loan.
Look, can you continue to lend us money according to the cooperation model in previous years? "What's the most urgent thing?"
Gao Yuan said helplessly as if she had no choice.
"You..."
What are you thinking! Do you still want a loan?
Gao Yuan said it politely, but in both words, she pointed the finger at the bank for the break in her company's capital chain.
Although this is true, you put my army on the fire and roasted me on this occasion...
What? Do you think you can force me to submit this way?
President Lu’s face was ashen, but he was sneering in his heart.
What kind of scene has he never seen before, to get a loan with such a small trick? Innocent!
He calmed down the anger in his heart and turned cold.
"Director Gao, I am not the only one who has the final say in the bank. We also have compliance and qualification review, and we also need leadership approval.
Just because we met the loan qualifications last year does not mean that we meet the loan qualifications this year. , our bank has a complicated review process!
I sympathize with your experience and understand your urgency
However, the bank must follow the normal procedures in lending. If someone doesn’t cry about poverty in front of us, we will provide it with real money and silver!
If I make an exception for you, Director Gao, today, that would be using power for personal gain!
So for those companies that are not doing well and are on the verge of bankruptcy but cannot get bank loans, who do they go to to complain? ”
With these words, he completely brushed off his responsibility, and instead alluded to the poor management of Evergreen Biotech that caused the financial problems.
The other party is indeed an old fritter.
These words were high-sounding. Even if many people present could see that this was clearly the bank deliberately making things difficult for Evergreen Group, they could not find any loopholes on the other side.
"Really? That's such a pity!" Gao Yuan shook her head, looking quite regretful.
"In that case, I'm busy today. Mr. Lu, walk slowly. Manager Jiang, please see off the guests for me!"
"Uh..."
This time I The melon-eaters were all stunned.
Send...see off guests?
People burn millstones and donkeys, cross rivers and bridges, etc. It has to make a transition, right?
What’s more, the river hasn’t even been crossed yet!
If you fail to get the loan, you will walk away on the spot without giving it away...
Should it be said that women can fall out of favor faster than they can read a book, is this a racial talent?
President Lu was stunned for a long time, and when he came to his senses, his face turned the color of pig liver.
I wanted to get angry on the spot, but the camera was still showing his big face, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"Okay! No need to send it! I just wish Director Gao a safe passage through the difficulties! Humph!"
Seeing President Lu leave the conference room angrily, the remaining suppliers looked at each other in shock. .
The agreed funding issue has already been settled...
Did you just burn this "eyebrow" with your own hands?
By the way, why are you looking for this bank manager? Parade in public?
"Everyone, unfortunately, it seems that bank loans are temporarily unavailable." Gao Yuan spread her hands helplessly.
Everyone was speechless.
Not only is it impassable, you just blocked the road with your own hands and welded the steel plates on, okay...
"But don't worry, I will definitely solve the money problem as soon as possible.
If we fail to pay the contract payment date, you are welcome to come to your door at that time. I, Gao Yuan, will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Explain? How do you explain? How can we trust you?" Someone said dissatisfied.
“My journalist friends are here today, and I can solemnly promise here that we will fulfill the contract that should be performed on time, and we will not miss a penny of the money that is due!
But... ”
Gao Yuan glanced at everyone, and her face slowly became serious.
“If anyone wants to pay off the debt in advance regardless of the terms of the contract, you can!
I promise to pay the debt in full in one week without any liability for breach of contract. !”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, is this such a good thing?
But Gao Yuan continued.
"However, I, Gao Yuan, have never liked dealing with companies that go back on their word and have no spirit of contract.
If you choose to settle the debt in advance, our cooperation will end here, and we will never cooperate!< br>
The road ahead is long.
So we, Evergreen, need partners who can trust each other and work together in times of difficulty
rather than allies who add insult to injury and stab each other in the back!”
Gao Yuan's solemn tone made everyone present feel shocked.
No one thinks that Gao Yuan is just saying harsh words.
President Lu just walked away slowly without saying goodbye after a disagreement, which is a lesson learned from the past.
If a dignified financial backer dares to add insult to injury and stab someone in the back, that's not just saying they are sending guests off.
With this kind of behavior, no one thought that the other person was joking.
Everyone is thinking about the risks and pros and cons of the two options.
Kang Wenhua hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth!
"Okay! Just challenge Director Gao's character and choose to destroy the medicine. I, Old Kang, will trust you for once!"
Although he took the lead, others were still hesitant.
Many people still sneer at Gao Yuan.
Although Evergreen Biotech is not small in scale, it is not the leading giant in the country, and its current influence is limited.
Never cooperate? It's like we sent you an order!
Compared with losing a customer, financial risk is what they care more about.
"Ahem! Director Gao, of course I know your company's difficulties, but we are also in a dilemma, so I'll come back in a week."
"Me too, I'm sorry Gao Dong!”
"..."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another and left the conference room one by one.
A rough count shows that almost more than half of the companies have chosen to settle their payments in advance.
Gao Yuan just watched everything quietly and asked Tang Yun to register the selected companies one by one.
After everyone left, several reporters led by Liu Tao found the opportunity to step forward.
"Hello, Chairman Gao, I am Liu Tao from Su City Radio. This is my business card. Can I interview Director Gao alone?"
Gao Yuan took the business card and glanced at it.
[Suzhou Radio and Television Station, Information Department.
Reporter: Liu Tao.
Tel: XXXX, Email: XXXX]
She looked at these reporters with a smile in her eyes.
"Yes! Of course!"
...
Half an hour later...
"Director Gao, I am the one who can interview you this time It’s an honor and your company’s behavior is really admirable.”
At this time, Liu Tao had put away his previous carelessness and replaced it with excitement.
News! There’s a lot of news here!
At this time, he had basically understood the causes and consequences of the cold storage incident.
Able to bear huge losses even when their own business is in difficulty and their loans are cut off by banks, insist on destroying expired APIs, and prevent any substandard products from entering the market!
This kind of entrepreneurial sense of responsibility made Liu Tao greatly admired, but he also realized the hidden hot spots inside!
He has almost already thought of a press release full of positive energy.
"Is it admirable? I don't think so."
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan slowly shook her head at Liu Tao's praise.
"Dr. Gao, you are too humble." Liu Tao thought that the other party was being modest.
“No, I’m just telling the truth.
If one day a company is praised by the public just for destroying a batch of inferior drugs, then I think such a society is sad. "
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Yes, since when has it become something worthy of praise for a company to destroy inferior drugs?
Jerry-making, cheating, evading supervision...
How many unspoken rules does Shen Ke in the pharmaceutical industry have that the public is unaware of?
Liu Tao is a journalist, so he naturally knows more or less.
“But what’s even sadder is that no one does this, right?
It’s even more surprising that Director Gao can make such a decision when the company is in crisis and his own financial difficulties I admire you!
At least there are entrepreneurs like Gao in the industry who are not blinded by money, are persistent, and have ideals, then there is still hope for a reporter. I feel it is necessary to spread this positive energy.”
Gao Yuan smiled, she heard the sincerity in the other party's words.
This is a young reporter whose blood is not yet cold...
"Of course, I have always believed that money is just a tool to realize ideals..."
...
Soon after, Tang Yun walked back to Gao Yuan's office.
"Everyone has been sent away?"
"They have been sent away, and the 'small gifts' you ordered have also been sent away."
After a moment's hesitation, she asked with admiration. .
"Director Gao, could it be that you...recruited these reporters?"
"Haha! What do you think?"
Tang Yun couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Obviously it was a major loss within the company, but Gao Yuan could think of using it to increase its popularity through media exposure.
Famousness is so important to a company!
Although the loss cannot be recovered, it is a positive publicity for the reputation of Evergreen Biotechnology, which is equivalent to an advertisement for Evergreen Biotechnology.
She finally knew what the book Gao Yuan read earlier meant. This was a public opinion war!
It's just that she couldn't understand that no matter how good the publicity was, it was still in the future tense. If the biggest problem, money, couldn't be solved, what would happen no matter how good the publicity was?
Besides, she didn’t think that a positive press release could change anything...
Gao Yuan slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Liu Tao and others leaving in the direction of the door. His back showed a meaningful smile.
……
“Is money just a tool to realize your ideals……”
Liu Tao, who walked out of Evergreen Creatures, couldn't help but look back.
He reached out and touched the bulging "small gifts" in his pocket, and a smile that "everyone understands" appeared on his face... (End of this chapter)
