Homo sapiens.

Donghua Group Headquarters Building.

Wu Heguang listened to the voice in his ear, his face changed from ashen to pale, and his body even trembled slightly involuntarily.

It took a while to recover, he forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there a remedy?"

"Li Gong said...the damage to this set of equipment is too serious, even if some parts can be recycled and reused..."

Wu Heguang rubbed his temples while listening to the phone, his brain was running wildly.

According to the contract between the two parties, Kaile Company has paid a deposit of US$0.98 million and a purchase price of US$2 million for some equipment, and the remaining money has not been paid yet.

If it cannot be completed and paid on time, it means that Donghua Group has breached the contract.

Not only will Kaile Company not pay the remaining money, Donghua Group will also need to compensate the other party for liquidated damages of 30% of the total bid price of the contract, which is a liquidated damages of 2.94 million US dollars, and also pay for project losses and construction delays3 [-] million dollars.

Originally, Donghua Group still had a ray of hope, that is to buy insurance, but at that time the bank felt that the contract period was short and the insurance premium required was very high. Wu Heguang and other directors felt that paying the insurance premium would make the contract unprofitable. However, there is no purchase of insurance.

Now the compensation of up to 5.94 million US dollars can only be borne by Donghua Group itself, plus the large sum of money invested before, it will completely become a bad debt.

For the Donghua Group, which was already tight in its capital chain, this was simply a house leak that happened to rain all night.

'no!We must find a way...'Wu Heguang, who is not reconciled, how could he give up the Donghua Group that he founded.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly asked Kong Zhaolin on the other side of the phone: "Ask Li Gong, can we use our company's currently operating synthetic ammonia production line instead."

Kong Zhaolin was stunned for a moment at the testing ground, then, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he turned his head to the dejected Li Xinyi and hurriedly asked:

"Li Gong, if we use the synthetic ammonia production line of our chemical plant, can it be replaced?"

Hearing this question, Li Xinyi frowned and thought hard, but finally shook his head:

"Our synthetic ammonia production lines have been in operation for more than three years. Even if some parts are replaced, some key parts are still easy to detect, unless the other party does not require a brand new production line."

Of course Kong Zhaolin knew that Kaile Company required a brand new production line, but now their time was running out, he asked irritably:

"Is there a way to replace all the parts that can be detected? Or use some parts in this half-waste production line?"

Li Xinyi looked at the other parts that were still relatively complete on the scene, and after evaluating in his heart, he nodded cautiously:

"That's okay, but there are no suitable spare parts for the reforming tube of the reforming furnace. We can only temporarily replace the catalyst and refurbish the reforming tube of the old equipment."

"Great." Kong Zhaolin was about to collapse.

And Wu Heguang on the other side of the phone was also relieved, and he hurriedly continued to order over the phone:

"Zhaolin, I will give you permission to immediately ask Pengcheng Chemical Factory to fully cooperate. Within a week, I can get a set of production lines that can be mixed in. As long as the equipment is transported to the factory in Luzon, it will be used for debugging and maintenance at that time." An excuse to replace some of the parts with new ones."

"Understood, I promise to finish it within a week." Kong Zhaolin also knows the current situation. If the production line cannot be delivered by then, Donghua Group will have to go bankrupt and reorganize.

The Donghua Group took action quickly.

Kong Zhaolin personally led people to ask the Donghua Chemical Factory in Pengcheng to stop production and cooperate.

Li Xinyi led a group of engineers and technicians to remove usable parts from the semi-waste production line.

It seems that this time the contract crisis seems to have been muddied by them.

But is it really that simple?

……

That evening, on the Chinese Internet.

A video titled "Explosion at XXXX Factory" quickly spread on various platforms.

Because the video was shot at a close angle and it was very clear, and netizens near Pengcheng provided information, it was impossible to hide the accident at the Donghua Equipment Manufacturing Factory in an instant.

The Donghua Group, which hadn't reacted yet, was suddenly stunned by the news.

Soon, someone who claimed to be an insider in the industry broke the news, saying that Donghua Group cooperated with a company in Luzon last year to design and manufacture a complete set of fertilizer production line for the other party. It is estimated that this accident will cause delays in equipment delivery.

It wasn't until the information spread on the Internet for more than five hours that a senior executive of Donghua Group discovered it while surfing the Internet.

Wu Heguang, who was already devastated by this accident, immediately changed his face when he heard the news, and he reacted very quickly: "Hurry up, immediately issue an announcement to refute the rumors, saying that it was just an ordinary gas leak and did not cause serious losses. "

"Yes, President!" The secretary hurriedly arranged for the public relations department to write a rumor dispelling announcement, regardless of the fact that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

At the same time, Wu Heguang, who was in the office, thought for a while with flickering eyes. He is a smart person, and he already felt that something was wrong.

The equipment in the test field did not have an accident early or late, but it happened at this juncture, and there was also intensive public opinion on the Internet. It was obvious that someone was eyeing this batch of equipment, or someone was going to deal with Donghua Group.

'Who will it be?Could it be him... No, it shouldn't be, that kid also has energy in Hongshawadi, and he has no foundation at all in China...'

'Keller Company?Could it be that they deliberately designed Donghua Group?Just for liquidated damages?That's not right, they also don't have many people in the country...'

"Wait..." Wu Heguang suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his eyes:

'Could it be those guys? ABCD has united with a group of international chemical giants to suppress Luzon's agriculture, so they definitely don't want Luzon to produce its own fertilizers, and those chemical giants have a lot of partners in China...'

Wu Heguang seemed to have guessed something, but then he sighed secretly again. Obviously, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out about the people and forces involved.

What he can do now is to suppress this matter as much as possible, then complete the delivery of the equipment, and then fool around when the time comes.

Sure enough, for three days in a row, the enthusiasm about this matter on the Internet was suppressed.

And Kaile Company seemed to know nothing about it.

This made Wu Heguang secretly relieved.

But soon he was caught off guard again.

In online video conferencing.

The person in charge of Kaile Company asked with a serious face: "President Wu, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for this video. This is a video I obtained from an Internet intelligence dealer."

Wu Heguang's heart skipped a beat, his face was a little unnatural.

After watching the video that he sent, he couldn't say the speech he had just prepared.

Because the video turned out to be the content inside the test field, and it was the actual test accident that day, Wu Heguang didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"President Wu! Can you give me an answer now? Can the equipment of the fertilizer plant be delivered on time?"

Wu Heguang could only bite the bullet and replied: "Mr. Lopez, please rest assured that most of the equipment in the explosion that day was intact. Our company has spare parts and can definitely deliver them on time."

"Really? If that's the case, you don't mind if I let people from the third-party inspection company go over and inspect it?" Carmen Lopez asked with a smile on his face.

Wu Heguang was also extremely flustered, but he knew that he must not lose his footing, so he nodded with a smile: "Yes, I will arrange for a vice president to bring people from the inspection company to the factory as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Carmen Lopez reminded with a smile:

"OK, I am also concerned about this batch of equipment. After all, this is related to the strategy of localization of Luzon's chemical fertilizers. Mr. Dutt is also very concerned about this matter. I don't want to disappoint him. After all, the impact is not good."

Damn it!Wu Heguang was already in a panic.

He is not a fool, so he naturally heard the implication of the other party, that is, there is a country standing behind me, let Wu Heguang weigh the consequences of deceit by himself.

Chapter 129

After the video conference is over.

Wu Heguang, whose back shirt was soaked, took a breath: "Huh..."

The secretary at the side quickly poured him a glass of water.

"Secretary Zhang, inform Vice President Huang to hand over the work in hand, and then he will be responsible for entertaining the third-party acceptance personnel sent by Kaile Company, and ask him to delay the time as much as possible."

"Okay, I'll notify Vice President Huang immediately."

Wu Heguang picked up the phone tiredly and dialed Kong Zhaolin's number.

"Hello? Uncle."

"Zhaolin, the situation has changed. Kaile Company has to send someone to inspect and accept it. You instruct Li Gong to refurbish the old equipment as soon as possible. Our time is limited."

Kong Zhaolin on the opposite side could only grit his teeth and agree.

……

Luzon, Bandon Island headquarters.

Li Qingye listened to Fei Li's report, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Deadly struggle, launch the third wave of offensive."

"Yes, boss."

Two days later.

A minor explosion occurred in an Annan chemical company that had previously purchased ammonia synthesis equipment from Donghua Group. Although there were no casualties, the plant was forced to stop production.

After the investigation of that Annan chemical company, they found that in the synthetic ammonia production equipment produced by Donghua Group, the reformer tubes of the reformer had serious quality problems, and some reformer tube walls had a small amount of lattice defects. run, prone to cracking from lattice defect points.

The incident was immediately revealed.

On the day when the incident was exposed, the stock price of Donghua Group in Xiangjiang plummeted rapidly.

The short sellers who had already been prepared quickly went off to hunt.

And the matter is not over yet, after that, many companies that purchased Donghua Group's ammonia synthesis equipment also secretly checked their own ammonia synthesis equipment, and two more found that there were defects in the conversion tube.

At this time, the executives of Kaile Company also spoke out, expressing the need to re-evaluate Donghua Group's chemical equipment carefully.

This order caused the stock price of Donghua Group to skyrocket last year, but now it has become a reminder.

After all, if Donghua Group fails to deliver the equipment in time, or if the equipment has major design defects, the huge liquidated damages and compensation will be enough to make Donghua Group go bankrupt.

The capital market responds very quickly and is very realistic.

In addition to the short positions secretly controlled by Homo sapiens, other speculative institutions also quickly followed up with short positions.

In less than three days, Donghua Group's stock price fell from 27.6 yuan per share to 13.3 yuan, which was basically cut off at the middle.

Even if the Donghua Group issued an announcement stating that it would compensate for the loss and provide a free comprehensive overhaul to all users' equipment, it still did not stop the stock from continuing to fall.

Wu Heguang was already devastated at this time.

Facing the bankruptcy risk of Donghua Group, all the investors are not fools. They don't want the stocks in their hands to become waste paper, so many investors can only choose to cut their flesh and leave the market.

Even the California Investment Bank (Morgan Family), which secretly held 18.3% of Donghua Group's shares, quietly emptied 15% of its shares, leaving only 3.3% to wait and see the follow-up situation.

In the dark, Li Qingye ordered the Finance Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to quietly collect chips.

Through various offshore accounts and controlled soldiers, they manipulated hundreds of accounts, and ate the stocks of Donghua Group in small quantities and many times.

At this time, the stock in the hands of the financial office has reached 24.6%, while Wu Heguang personally holds only 34% of the stock, and with the stock of other executives of Donghua Group, the total is only 46.2%.

The next step is to accept the investigation of the company, which will become a crucial thing.

……

4 month 26 day.

After more than 20 days of fermentation, Donghua Group's equipment quality problems have not subsided. Instead, the arrival of two third-party acceptance companies invited by Kaile Company has attracted the attention of all parties.

Vice President Huang has also tried his best.

Donghua Equipment Manufacturing Factory in Pengcheng is a well-known third-party company in Huaguo, and a well-known third-party acceptance company in the world.

Li Xinyi, with bloodshot eyes, and Kong Zhaolin, with a dry smile on his face, led the acceptance personnel into the testing field.

Kong Zhaolin took a lot of documents and introduced: "Everyone, this is the equipment produced by our company. We have tested it the day before yesterday. Here is the test report and the test report of each key component."

The leaders of the two third-party acceptance companies were not polite either.

After all, this time the matter is not trivial, if they make mistakes in the acceptance, the reputation of their company will definitely plummet, so if you want to turn a blind eye to it, don't even think about it.

What's more, two acceptance companies are doing this now.

More than a dozen professional chemical equipment inspectors have gone through the stack of documents, and the documents are indeed impeccable, but the actual inspection that follows is the key to this acceptance.

Since the reforming tube of the reforming furnace is the focus of this exposure, the two acceptance companies started the actual measurement from here.

This is also the focus of Li Xinyi and others these days. They have refurbished day and night, added various treatments, and replaced a brand new catalyst. As long as they don't cut the pipe and use it for laboratory testing, they will basically not be found. .

The people in the acceptance company also knew that Donghua Group would definitely try its best to deal with all the problems, so that it would not be detected so easily.

Careful cold engine inspections were carried out for two days.

On the third day, the acceptance company finally came to the real thing and asked for a thermal engine test.

Li Xinyi and Kong Zhaolin, who had been on tenterhooks for the past few days, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their use of old transformation tubes had not been found out.

As for the heat engine test, they have actually done it once before and found no problems.

control room.

Li Xinyi commanded confidently: "Everyone, take your place and start the warm-up test."
