The love of the boss

Chapter 174 Difficult Negotiations and Uncertain Prospects

Lin Xiao and Su Yao walked into the negotiation room with the mysterious investor with trepidation.

"Mr. Lin, Ms. Su, nice to meet you." The mysterious investor sat at one end of the long table with an unpredictable smile on his face.

Lin Xiao got straight to the point and said, "Thank you for your attention to our company, but your request for a controlling stake is indeed a major decision for us."

The mysterious investor crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Mr. Lin, I understand your concerns. But you have to know that except for me, I'm afraid no one is willing to provide you with such a huge amount of funds."

Su Yao couldn't help but say, "But this means we will lose control of the company."

The mysterious investor smiled and said, "But at the same time, we also gained the opportunity to survive and develop. Without funds, the company will soon go bankrupt, and then everything will be gone."

The atmosphere at the negotiation table was tense, with both sides going back and forth and neither side giving in.

"We can give you a certain percentage of shares, but we absolutely cannot give you controlling stake." Lin Xiao was firm.

The mysterious investor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mr. Lin, you have to know that without my funds, the company will not survive this month."

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "We can give you a certain say in business decisions, but the direction of the company's development must be decided by us together."

The mysterious investor thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's make some concessions and negotiations on the equity ratio and decision-making power."

In the following period, the two sides engaged in heated debate on details such as equity ratio, decision-making power, and the timing and method of capital injection.

"Lin Xiao, I think this ratio is still too high. It will seriously affect our future development space." Su Yao whispered in Lin Xiao's ear.

Lin Xiao nodded, "I understand, but if we don't accept it, the company will soon be in dire straits."

After several hours of arduous negotiations, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement.

"Mr. Lin, Ms. Su, I hope our cooperation can go smoothly and bring the company back to life." The mysterious investor stood up and shook hands with Lin Xiao and Su Yao.

Walking out of the negotiation room, Lin Xiao and Su Yao felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Su Yao, this may be our only choice." Lin Xiao looked at the sky and sighed.

Su Yao said worriedly: "But the future is full of uncertainty. I don't know whether this decision is right or wrong."

After returning to the company, they immediately held a high-level meeting to inform everyone of the results of the negotiations.

"Mr. Lin, will this cause the company to lose its autonomy?" an executive questioned.

Lin Xiao said helplessly: "This is the only way to save the company at the moment. Although there are risks, it is better than sitting and waiting for death."

While waiting for capital injection, the company's operations remain difficult.

"Lin Xiao, we are almost unable to pay our employees' salaries, and suppliers are also putting pressure on us," the CFO said anxiously.

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer, the funds will arrive soon."

However, at this moment, bad news came from the mysterious investor.

"Mr. Lin, due to some internal approval process issues, the funds may be delayed."

Lin Xiao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. "How long will it take? We can't wait any longer."

“The exact time cannot be determined, but it will take at least two weeks.”

Lin Xiao hung up the phone angrily. "What should we do? The company can't hold out for two weeks."

Su Yao said: "Lin Xiao, we can't put all our hopes on this money, we still have to think of other ways."

Lin Xiao rubbed his temples. "What else can I do? There is no hope for a bank loan, and the assets can't be sold at a good price."

Just when they were in despair, an old customer suddenly called and expressed his willingness to pay for a large order in advance to help the company overcome the difficulties.

"Lin Xiao, this is really a timely help." Su Yao said excitedly.

Lin Xiao finally showed a smile on his face, "Maybe this is the beginning of a turnaround."

But whether this amount of money can truly solve the company's problems remains unknown.
