The love of the boss

When the company's innovative marketing and brand communication achieved initial success, a new crisis quietly arrived, putting Lin Xiao and Su Yao in trouble again.

"Su Yao, I just received news that an important supplier we cooperated with suddenly declared bankruptcy, which will seriously affect our product supply." Lin Xiao said anxiously.

Su Yao widened her eyes in disbelief: "How could this happen? We have to find new suppliers quickly, but this takes time. What about the business during this period?"

They immediately activated their emergency plan and contacted several potential suppliers, but all faced various problems.

"Lin Xiao, these suppliers either have too high prices or cannot guarantee quality, and it is difficult to find suitable replacements," said the purchasing manager.

Lin Xiao frowned: "No matter what, quality is the most important thing. The price can be negotiated, but the standard cannot be lowered."

At the same time, the company's capital chain was under pressure.

"Su Yao, due to the large investment in previous marketing promotions and the changes in suppliers this time, the speed of capital recovery has slowed down, and we may face the risk of capital shortage." The financial director said worriedly.

Su Yao bit her lip: "First see if you can get a loan from the bank or introduce new investment."

However, the loan application was not smooth, as the bank expressed concerns about the company's situation.

"Lin Xiao, the bank requires us to provide more guarantees and a more detailed financial plan, and the approval time is uncertain." said the Financial Director.

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly: "What about investment?"

While looking for investment, an investment company expressed its willingness to inject capital, but put forward harsh conditions.

"Su Yao, they are asking for a larger equity ratio and decision-making power, which may affect our control over the company." Lin Xiao was in a dilemma.

Su Yao pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed a difficult decision. If you don't accept it, the funding problem will be difficult to solve; if you accept it, the company's future development may be restricted."

Even as they were hesitating, turmoil arose within the company.

"Lin Xiao, some employees have heard about the company's difficulties and are starting to panic. Some employees are even thinking about leaving," said the HR manager.

Lin Xiao said firmly: "We need to stabilize the emotions of our employees and explain to them that we are actively solving the problem and the company will not collapse."

In order to save costs, they have to consider layoffs and downsizing their business.

"Su Yao, this is a painful decision, but for the survival of the company, we may have to do this." Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Su Yao had tears in her eyes: "But those employees have worked hard with us, it's too cruel to do this."

Lin Xiao looked at everything in front of him, his heart filled with helplessness and pain. He had never thought that he would fall into such a desperate situation, but now there was no way out. He took a deep breath and turned back to the base.

When Su Yao saw Lin Xiao coming back, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hurried over, hugged Lin Xiao, and said softly, "Lin Xiao, I'm so worried about you."

Lin Xiao patted Su Yao on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm back."

The two sat on the sofa in silence. Lin Xiao had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew they had to make a decision, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. But facing such a complicated situation, he also felt at a loss as to where to start.

"Lin Xiao, no matter what, we can't give up. We must find a way out." Su Yao suddenly broke the silence and held Lin Xiao's hand tightly.

Lin Xiao nodded and said with a firm look: "Yes, if we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

However, at this moment, the alarm sounded again. Lin Xiao and Su Yao looked at each other, their faces became solemn. They knew that a new crisis had come.
