Chapter 788: 35: Cannon Fodder in the Real World (35)

That young, and disappeared for so long, during which time the Jiang Family had long been hollowed out by Jiang Li, how much is left? This farce of the illegitimate child fighting the legitimate child is about to end.

Before the cold wave arrives, Jiang Li looked at The Lion, which hadn’t opened for nearly a quarter, gritted his teeth and gave orders below.

"Keep pushing the product prices down!"

The face of the financial director already looked a bit ugly.

"General Manager, we have been in a loss state this quarter, and the loss amount is huge. If we continue to lower prices, let alone profit, we can only recover two-thirds of the cost.

If things continue like this, the company’s capital chain will have problems."

Jiang Li certainly knows it’s dangerous to continue like this.

But compared to the return he’s about to receive, what does this bit of loss count for?

"Go to the bank for more loans, price wars are the most effective method, understand?"

The financial director surely knows that price wars are effective.

Wanlong Technology of the Jiang Family, though currently the leading domestic giant, couldn’t withstand the chip losses in the second half of the year. It had financial deficits to begin with, and Jiang Li promptly started a price war with rival companies.

Such behavior of disrupting the market has long aroused dissatisfaction among similar enterprises.

Now Jiang Li wants to continue, which is akin to walking a tightrope over an abyss, a single error would lead to complete destruction.

Everyone is very worried, currently, quite a few executives in the company haven’t received this quarter’s bonuses, let alone the salaries of all employees have been delayed for over two months.

"General Manager, I think this is enough. The Lion hasn’t had any business the entire quarter, they can’t possibly reverse the situation anymore, maybe, you should stop."

"Throughout history, those who have given their enemies a chance to linger just have one end, that is to be counter-killed!

I won’t be that kind of leader, I want to see the enemies breathe their last in front of me."

The Lion’s capital chain can’t compare to the Jiang Family, as long as you drag it, you can surely drag them to death!

Seeing Jiang Li’s obstinate course, the financial director chose to remain silent.

It seems to be snowing outside.

This year’s first snow of early winter has fallen.

Standing at the window, Jiang Li excitedly watched the snow.

Snow foretells a prosperous year, is this heaven’s way of telling him everything is about to end?

Almost everyone at this time would put everything aside, go to the window, step outside, quietly look up at the falling snow.

This wasn’t Jiang Lai’s first time seeing snow, but it was indeed her first encounter with snow in a thousand years.

She used her body to touch, to feel.

Standing beside her, Mr. Huang exclaimed.

"This snow seems like it will fall for a while, it has been many years since we’ve had such a big snow here."

Standing under the eaves, Jiang Lai reached out her hand, watching the snowflakes melt in her palm.

Mr. Huang asked her.

"Some say spring is hope, is the season of striving.

To me, it’s winter.

Starting to work hard when others are ready to rest, that’s how to stand undefeated forever.

So Jiang Lai, what do you want to do this winter?"

"Winter’s here, let’s bankrupt Jiang Li."

Mr. Huang looked at her, seemed helpless yet dotingly smiled.

"Hmm, then you must work hard."

Jiang Lai looked at him, suddenly smiled happily.

"Let’s have hotpot tonight, it’s on me."

"What happy occasion is worthy of celebrating with hotpot?"

"It’s indeed a happy event, you’ll know by tomorrow."

As Mr. Huang said, the snow fell throughout the night.

Looking outside the next day, the entire world was clad in silver.

After waking up, Jiang Li routinely turned on his phone, which had been powered off, to check the secretary’s messages from last night.

Unlike usual, as soon as he turned on the phone, he was bombarded by hundreds, thousands of missed calls and text messages overwhelming the screen, Jiang Li frowned.

The female companion beside him clung to his waist like a snake, but Jiang Li directly pushed her aside, got up, walked to the window, without time to check message contents, directly called.

The secretary’s phone didn’t answer.

He frowned, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, continued to call the assistant.

Twice, the assistant answered.

"I pay you a salary to be on call 24 hours, this month your bonus is gone."

"Boss, my bonus doesn’t matter now, you’d better hurry to the company and have a look, things are chaotic here now."

The tone dissatisfied him, but he didn’t have time to pursue this, questioned.

"What happened?!"

"Employees went on strike, nearly three months without salaries, year-end bonuses canceled, they went on strike collectively, several leaders resigned too."

"Resigned?! Overnight, they all want to resign?!"

Is he not awake or is the assistant not awake?

These people are sharp, resigning means no compensation, even if they want to leave, they’ll wait for the company to dismiss them for compensation.

An overnight large-scale strike and resignation, what a joke!

Even so, Jiang Li took a shower, changed into a suit, groomed his beard, upon arriving at the company, the downstairs was already crowded and impenetrable.

Because it was so publicized, quite a few TV media reporters arrived, broadcasting the scene downstairs the Jiang Technology Building live.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Li’s lungs were about to explode with rage.

A bunch of useless people, usually they work when fed well, now that the company has some issues, just want them to tide through difficult times together, less than three months, started strikes and uprisings.

These years, it’s this group of ingrates he’s raised!

Jiang Li’s car was too conspicuous, in the entire company, only Jiang Li could sit in such a car.

The crowd immediately clustered around, journalists blocked the car door, shouting loudly.

Jiang Li sat in the back seat, face gloomy, breathing disturbed.

But hiding wasn’t a solution at this time, so he took a deep breath, adjusted his expression and mentality, opened the door and went out.

"President Jiang, what’s your opinion on the timing of this employee strike? Heard it’s because you’ve owed employees three months’ salary, nearing year-end, why did you do this?"

Everyone was waiting for a great year.

Even in tough times, enterprises would give employees a sum of money for New Year.

The Jiang Family, the number one domestic tech company, coveted by countless graduates, now had this salary owe situation.

Jiang Li’s expression remained unchanged.

"There’s no salary owing, formal documents have been distributed, the salary will be settled by the end of this month, perhaps it was the publicity department’s poor work, causing everyone to misunderstand."

"So, not paying salaries on time is a fact, as Wanlong Technology’s executive CEO, what’s your view on employees collectively switching to The Lion Technology Company?"

Jiang Li’s face stiffened.

Hearing this, he only felt amused.

"Where did you hear my employees jumped ship to The Lion?"
