Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

An hour later, President Huo called Vice President Bo to discuss again, and Secretary Su Xianyun also came in.

Su Xianyun seemed a little uneasy.

"If this funding gap cannot be resolved in time, do you think that the sale of Huoling Power and Huojing Mining, which are under your control, can also be considered?" Mr. Huo asked calmly.

"Mr. Huo, Huoling Power and Huojing Mining are among our group's most valuable assets. If they were to be sold, it would likely cause internal and external concerns and affect the group's stock price." There was a hint of hesitation in Vice President Bo's voice. "Should we wait and see for a while?"

Mr. Huo's eyes shone with a hint of depth. "Do you remember when we sold Huodong Software three years ago? Back then, everyone thought we were taking a risk, but it's proven to be the right move. I've also secretly contacted the Beijing-based Shenyu Group, and they're willing to invest 11.5 billion yuan to acquire both companies."

He paused, his tone still calm, "The current situation is somewhat similar to that of three years ago. We need to make some seemingly risky decisions in order to gain more room for survival for the group. When the time comes, we will announce to the public that our Huo Group is undergoing a transformation."

Vice President Bo was silent for a moment, seemingly digesting President Huo's words. He flipped open the documents in his hand, quickly skimmed a few pages, then looked up. "President Huo, are you suggesting that the sale of these two companies be explained publicly not as a means of alleviating immediate pressure but rather as a means of restructuring?"

Mr. Huo nodded, his eyes blazing with determination. "That's right. Business is like a game of chess. Sometimes, you have to give up some pieces to move forward. If the cash flow situation doesn't improve within three days, we'll sell these two companies."

"Secretary Su, please prepare the relevant documents first." Mr. Huo said.

Huo Chenjun noticed that Su Xianyun was a little flustered and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Vice President Bo rushed to answer for Su Xianyun, "Maybe she's been working overtime these days and is a little tired."

"Okay, then go get busy."

Mr. Huo looked out the window, lost in thought. Although this would cause the Huo Group to suffer significant losses, it was the only solution at the moment. However, with the New Year approaching, both the Heke Group and the Shenyu Group would have to wait until after the Lunar New Year to raise sufficient funds.

At the headquarters of Xicheng Group, Mr. Zhao sat in a spacious office.

"Mr. Zhao, I just received news that Miss Li from Shengyang Group went to see Mr. Huo and proposed to help the Huo Group overcome its difficulties through marriage." The assistant whispered with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao raised his eyebrows and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Miss Li? The daughter of Shengyang Group? As I expected, she is really thoughtful. But what does Mr. Huo say?"

The assistant shook his head, his tone filled with surprise. "It is said that when Miss Li returned to China, she was dejected. It seems that she was rejected by President Huo."

A hint of amusement flashed in Mr. Zhao's eyes. "Interesting, Mr. Huo is quite courageous this time. It seems that he really doesn't intend to rely on women to save his group."

The assistant nodded and continued, "Yes, Mr. Zhao. Shengyang Group's strength in the mainland cannot be underestimated. If they lend a hand, the Huo Group might still have a chance of survival. But now Mr. Huo has refused. Considering that the end of the year is approaching, I'm afraid no other company in the mainland has the strength and willingness to help them."

President Zhao leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, a cold look in his eyes. "This will make the Huo Group's situation even more difficult. Our plan this time has a greater chance of success."

The assistant hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, do you think Mr. Huo refused the marriage because he already has other plans? After all, Mr. Huo has always been known for his shrewdness. He won't sit idly by and wait for death."

President Zhao sneered, his tone tinged with disdain. "Smart? Even the smartest people can sometimes reach their limit. The Huo Group's current crisis can't be resolved by him alone. Without strong external support, they won't last long."

The assistant nodded and agreed, "Boss Zhao is right. The Huo Group's capital chain is already precarious. Without new capital injection, bankruptcy is only a matter of time."

President Zhao stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the night view of the city. A hint of ambition flashed in his eyes: "If the Huo Group encounters a serious crisis, we will have the opportunity to acquire their entire group at a low price."

Xiao Chen stood behind him and whispered, "Mr. Zhao, what should we do next?"

Mr. Zhao turned around, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "Keep a low profile for now. I don't dare to do anything more right now. I've seen Mr. Huo's revenge methods before. There's nothing I can do."

The assistant nodded and said respectfully, "I understand, Mr. Zhao."

Mr. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, his tone still tinged with pride: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, this time I want to see how long you can hold on. Without the help of Shengyang Group, I wonder how you can turn things around?"
