C147 Forcing

As soon as the words left his mouth, THOMAS realized that he had leaked it, and hurriedly changed the topic, "I think, my competitors don't need to go into such a big circle, to strike me down, they first hit my supplier. Mu, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, not just guessing."

"Anything is possible."

Mu Xichen waved his hand, and Shangguan Lv and Li Rui handed over the agreement they had prepared long ago.

Mu Xichen pointed to the agreements, and showed it to THOMAS.

"Look, this is part of the agreement signed by the factory that has recently renounced our cooperation. They would rather pay three times the penalty for the breach of contract, but they still want to renounce the cooperation. How could this be a guess? "Our control is unquestionable. Otherwise, the factory would not have paid such a high amount of compensation. However, you should understand that the factory would not have agreed to such a perverted request if it was not for special circumstances …"

The translator next to him leaned over and took the agreements. He frowned as he read a few pages, and when he saw the amount of the compensation, he raised his eyebrows. It was not hard to see that he was also shocked.

Then they muttered in German for a while, their voices rising and falling, and not many of them could understand what they were saying.

After conversing with the translator for a while, the THOMAS's expression eased a little.

Without any notice, he suddenly rushed over with two goals, one was to catch the Hetian off guard and make it unable to fully prepare for their visit. This way, they would have a better chance of winning. Second, to investigate the actual situation in the Hetian. Only by suddenly visiting and seeing the situation would he be able to see the truth.

The THOMAS were also well aware of how important they were to the Hetian. Once the Hetian broke the agreement, there were two possibilities, one was to be prepared for future generations and be confident, rather than giving up on them, it would still suit the needs of their opponents.

On the other hand, it was an extremely low probability situation, which was an uncontrollable mutation that happened in the Hetian. It was just as Mu Xichen had explained and displayed to them, and this was also the time to test the Hetian.

The reason why THOMAS was suspicious was because the moment he entered the company, he felt a strong sense of order and order, unlike after a disaster. As a result, he did not believe that the Hetian had encountered an unprecedented crisis.

After seeing the agreement, THOMAS pondered for a while, and in his heart, he couldn't help but feel respect towards the Hetian.

"Mu, I have to say, even though Hetian is in danger, his vitality is still extremely strong." Mu Xichen slightly nodded his head to express his gratitude.

"However, no matter what the reason is, even if our competitors were to attack the factories under your command, the ones signing the contract with THOMAS are only one side with your Hetian, thus, since we cannot deliver the goods on schedule, the blame can only be placed on the one side of the Hetian, for this, Mu, do you have any objections?"

Turning the topic, THOMAS went straight to the point.

Mu Xichen nodded his head: "That's right, you are right, I have no objections."

Shangguan Lv and Li Rui straightened their backs. What they were most worried about was still coming.

"So, what we should be talking about now is how to reduce the losses and maximize the benefits …" THOMAS spoke slowly, and looked straight into Mu Xichen's eyes.

Shangguan Lv could not sit still any longer, his palms were drenched in sweat.

Li Rui could feel his nervousness, so he gave him a meaningful glance.

Mu Xichen, on the other hand, was much calmer. He leaned his body back and chose an extremely comfortable position with his lips curled up and his hands spread out, indicating THOMAS to continue.

"Of course, we will not pay a three times default like you requested. Because Hetian is indeed in danger and because of our trust for the Hetian throughout the years, we only ask for the payment that we owe, so …"

THOMAS quickly pulled the contract from the assistant's hand and slapped it in front of Mu Xichen.

Shangguan Lv curled his lips.

After talking for a long time and saying such beautiful words, in the end, didn't he still have to make a claim?

Furthermore, THOMAS's requirements for their suppliers were extremely strict. In order to prevent problems, they would have to pay a high penalty, so the suppliers under them rarely had any problems. The reason was very simple.

With a good contract, who could say anything?

THOMAS was right, they only acted according to the contract, and did not pursue the blame as the Hetian did.

Mu Xichen was already mentally prepared.

As for THOMAS's seemingly peaceful but actually aggressive claims, those contracts, he did not even look at them.

A thought-provoking smile appeared on his face.

His pair of deep black eyes were filled with unfathomable magic. His eyes flickered with more than just confidence.

"THOMAS, I think, what you really want is not these penalty fee..."

THOMAS frowned and retorted, "In your opinion, what do I want? At this point, I only want the penalty. Only by doing so can I reduce the damage done to THOMAS itself."

"THOMAS, even with these penalty fees, can you resolve a series of crises caused by the failure to deliver goods on time? For example, your customers are in a rage, your supply chain is broken, and so on. "

After Mu Xichen said this, the THOMAS who was suppressing his anger suddenly erupted: "Mu, this is the reason why I am seeking compensation. If not for the fact that Hetian was not able to deliver the goods in time, we would not have met with so many dangers!"

Shangguan Lv and Li Rui secretly broke into a cold sweat, not knowing why their boss would bring up this topic.

"THOMAS, what if we have a foolproof plan?"

Mu Xichen leaned forward with one elbow on the conference table, staring straight at THOMAS.

THOMAS swallowed his saliva and asked doubtfully, "What is complete? Isn't this a crisis?"

"What I mean is, each of us will need to take a step back. You can give us one more month, and then we will do our best to deliver the goods and attack our opponents together. This is the best way to reduce our losses …"

THOMAS and the assistant looked at each other, and then, THOMAS shook his head: "Mu, stop joking, the scheduled delivery date, and each batch of time, will all require two months, these factories would rather pay three times the penalty to not cooperate with Hetian, since Hetian has to find new factories, and also need to comb and supervise the production process, how could one month's time be possible!"

Mu Xichen could hear the change in his tone.

What he had guessed was right. What the THOMAS really wanted was not a penalty, but a timely delivery. As for the one month limit, it was within the range of what he could bear.

"THOMAS, I can state that if you insist, Hetian will definitely pay for your breach of contract, but, after you give up on Hetian, in a short one month, can you find a supplier as dedicated as Hetian? Think about it. If you were to unilaterally open up a new supplier, the time and effort required would not be enough to rival the month I proposed? "

Mu Xichen patiently and slowly analyzed the situation.

As for THOMAS, he frowned, lowered his head, and sank into deep thought.

After a long while, he raised his head again and asked, "Mu, what if Hetian is unable to deliver the goods as scheduled after one month? At that time, we will face an even greater crisis … "

Mu Xichen was straightforward, he took the previously signed contract, raised his pen, crossed out the penalty column, and wrote down a string of numbers.

Then, the contract was handed over to THOMAS.

Shangguan Lv and Li Rui secretly saw the string of numbers and couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.

OH

MY

GOD, their boss was risking his life!

A month's time was extremely urgent, and success was the key. If he did not succeed, then he would definitely die! Because of that string of numbers, the amount of money was truly astonishing.

THOMAS After looking at the string of numbers, the space between his eyebrows immediately relaxed.

It could be seen that he was quite satisfied with that string of numbers.

Once the contract was delivered, it would be fine. However, if it was not delivered in time, the breach of contract fee would allow him to be happy for a while.

"Alright, then, we are willing to trust Hetian one more time, for one month!" Finally, he stood up and did not forget to remind her, "One month from now, I will make another trip to your esteemed self. If you succeed, I will express my gratitude. If you fail, I hope that you will honor your promise!"

Mu Xichen stood up and shook the hand he extended out.

After the THOMAS group left, the Hetian was in an uproar.

It was still that meeting room, but it was filled with all the people from the Hetian. Many of them had excited expressions and looked at Mu Xichen with more or less suspicion.

"President Mu, I think you are being too impulsive. Although THOMAS is a client that is hard to come by, but, we cannot take such a huge risk and agree to such a high penalty fee …"

As the senior executive of the older faction, Elder Su cleared his throat and was the first to speak.

"Yes, yes, such a high amount of money, if it is not delivered on schedule, it would be equivalent to giving away Hetian, which would then face the calamity of changing owners! President Mu, because of a THOMAS, it's really not worth it! "

Then someone answered.

The voices of opposition grew louder and louder, the crisis at the factory had abated temporarily, and everyone had more hope and trust in Mu Xichen, but what followed was such a huge mess, they could not stay calm.

Some people even started choking.

"How about we ask the old president and see what he thinks?"

A certain shareholder, who had been silent for a long time, spoke out. Immediately, the meeting room fell into a deathly silence.

The meaning was obvious, Mu Xichen, you are not qualified, let the old CEO take the lead.

Mu Xichen making this decision was definitely not done on impulse, and it was also done after careful deliberation. However, in order to keep this a secret, he could not reveal the entire plan.

If he wasn't mistaken, there must be a traitor within the executives.

Otherwise, how could the other party be so familiar with the Hetian, and instantly launch an all-out attack?

In this sort of situation, he would rather bear the blame than reveal his secret.

Therefore, he did not want to explain too much about it.

"Everyone, please calm down. Please, everyone, believe me. I will definitely work hard for making such a decision." He looked around the room, his expression serious.

Some people immediately retorted.

"We believe in the Hetian, but that does not mean we have to blindly obey someone's decision!"

The venue became chaotic once again.

"Yeah, it's been a month, how is that possible …"

"This is simply a joke, a complete nonsense …"

"When the old CEO was on the throne, she had never done anything so unreliable …"
