After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"Mr. Xiang, it's bad. The political situation in Country A has changed dramatically. The project we invested in has been forced to stop!" The voice of the project manager came from the other end of the phone, with obvious panic and trembling.

The fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously. Xiang Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "What is the damage? Are all the people safe?"

"The exact losses are still being calculated, but the initial estimate is at least hundreds of millions. Fortunately, we got the news in advance and all personnel have been evacuated safely."

"I understand. You guys stand by first. I'll arrange for someone to handle it right away."

After the call ended, Xiang Yu's face was extremely ugly. The investment in the Country A project was the company's top priority this year. The initial investment was huge, but now it has become a bubble due to the sudden political turmoil, which is a big blow to the company.

Yan Jin noticed his strangeness, put down the documents in her hand and walked over, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xiang Yu told her the matter briefly and in a heavy tone, "The Country A project is crucial to our subsequent strategic layout. Now that something like this has happened..."

"Don't worry, let's think of a solution together first." Yan Jin analyzed calmly, "The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation and recover the losses as much as possible."

An emergency meeting was soon held, with the company's top executives gathered together and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

"The situation in Country A is very complicated now. We must come up with a practical plan as soon as possible." Xiang Yu looked serious and looked around at everyone. "If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up."

"The most urgent task is to understand the attitude of the local government and see if we can win their support so that the project can resume operations." The marketing manager spoke first.

"I agree," the CFO agreed. "At the same time, we must also prepare for the worst and activate emergency plans to minimize losses."

"I suggest contacting our partners in Country A immediately and asking for their assistance."

"I have contacted the bank to see if I can delay the repayment of the loan..."

In the meeting room, everyone was talking at once, the atmosphere was intense but orderly. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu listened carefully to everyone's opinions and put forward their own views from time to time. The whole meeting lasted for a whole afternoon.

Finally, they decided to split their forces into two groups. On the one hand, Yan Jin would personally lead the team to Country A to negotiate with the local government and strive for the restoration of the project. On the other hand, Xiang Yu would stay in the country to take command, stabilize the internal and external situation of the company, and minimize the losses.

"I'm afraid this trip to Country A won't be smooth sailing." Before leaving, Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin worriedly.

Yan Jin smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I'm fully prepared."

Xiang Yu watched Yan Jin leave, but his heart could not calm down for a long time. He knew that this crisis was a huge test for the company and for both of them.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and Huang's boss hurried in, "Mr. Xiang, I heard about the project in Country A. Don't worry, I have contacted some of my friends in the local government..." Huang's boss's face was full of anxiety. He kept rubbing his hands and said sincerely, "Mr. Xiang, I have some friendship with several officials in Country A. I will do my best to help this time and strive to get the project back in operation."

Xiang Yu shook his hand gratefully: "Old Huang, thank you so much this time. The whole company will remember your friendship."

"We are all family, it would be awkward to say that." Boss Huang smiled cheerfully, "Don't worry, I have already arranged for someone to take care of it, I believe there will be news soon."

After seeing off Mr. Huang, Xiang Yu rushed to the bank without stopping. Bank manager Lin had been waiting for a long time. He handed a document to Xiang Yu, "Mr. Xiang, this is our assessment report on your company's current financial situation, as well as our tailor-made fund allocation plan for you. Please take a look."

Xiang Yu took the document and read it carefully. Manager Lin explained, "The stagnation of the Country A project has indeed caused some financial pressure on your company, but fortunately, the operation of your other projects is in good condition and the overall risk is controllable. We suggest that you can appropriately adjust the use of some funds and extend the repayment period of some loans to alleviate the current pressure."

Xiang Yu nodded. Manager Lin’s plan was indeed comprehensive and would maximize the time and space for the company.

"Thank you, Manager Lin. We will always remember your support."

"This is what we should do." Manager Lin responded with a smile.

After handling the bank's affairs, Xiang Yu returned to the company. It was already late at night. The lights in the office were still on. He pushed the door open and saw the financial director and several financial staff still busy.

"Haven't you rested yet?" Xiang Yu walked over and asked with concern.

"Such a big problem has happened in the Country A project. Our Finance Department must complete the loss assessment and fund raising work as soon as possible. We dare not delay for a moment." The Financial Director rubbed his tired eyes, with a hint of worry in his tone, "It's just..."

He hesitated to speak, and Xiang Yu keenly sensed his uneasiness. "What's wrong? Just tell me if you have any questions."

"It's just that the loss this time is too great. Even though we have tried our best to cut down on expenses and mobilize all the funds we can, the funding gap is still huge..."

Xiang Yu pondered for a moment. He knew that the difficulties the company was facing now could not be solved by internal potential alone, and it also required support from external forces.

At this time, the phone rang. It was from Liu's partner shareholder. He said solemnly, "Mr. Xiang, I heard about the project in Country A. You don't have to worry too much. I decided..." "What did you decide?" Xiang Yu's heartbeat accelerated. Liu's next words might determine the fate of the company.

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then shareholder Liu's steady voice came: "I have learned about the situation of the project in Country A. Although the incident happened suddenly and the losses were heavy, I believe in Mr. Xiang's ability and am full of confidence in the future development of our company. I have decided to make additional investments to support the company through the difficulties."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Mr. Liu, thank you for your trust and support. I promise that I will lead the company out of the predicament and will never let you down!"

The generosity of shareholder Liu was undoubtedly a timely help and a shot in the arm for the company. However, Xiang Yu knew that this was only the first step in solving the problem and there were more challenges waiting for him.

The next morning, Xiang Yu convened a meeting of the company's top management, conveyed shareholder Liu's decision, and announced a new response strategy.

"I have hired Mr. Zhao, a well-known financial advisor in the industry. He will assist us in conducting a comprehensive risk assessment and developing contingency plans to ensure that the company can respond quickly and minimize losses when encountering similar situations in the future." Xiang Yu said, pointing to a middle-aged man next to him who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had an elegant temperament.

Consultant Zhao nodded slightly, pushed up his glasses, and said in a steady tone: "Everyone, risks and opportunities coexist. Although this incident has brought us huge challenges, it also allows us to see the company's shortcomings in risk management. My next job is to help the company establish and improve risk warning mechanisms, optimize investment strategies, and enhance its ability to respond to emergencies..."

Under the guidance of consultant Zhao, the company took quick action and carried out various tasks in an orderly manner. The financial department reorganized the company's financial situation and formulated a more stringent fund management system; the legal department studied the relevant laws and regulations of country A in detail and actively sought legal means to protect the company's rights and interests; the marketing department increased its efforts to explore other markets and strive to reduce the impact of single market risks...

It was late at night, and the lights in Xiang Yu's office were still on. He sat at his desk, carefully reading the relevant information of the Country A project, frowning and lost in thought. He knew that in order to completely solve the problem, it was not enough to rely on external forces alone, and he needed to take action personally to show the company's sincerity and strength.

"Knock, knock, knock—" There was a knock on the door, and the assistant pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Xiang, the ticket you asked for has been booked. The flight is at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it will go directly to Country A."

Xiang Yu nodded, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. "Notify them. Tomorrow morning, I and..." He paused, as if he had made an important decision, "Yan Jin and I will set off together." The next day, the dawn of Country A appeared, and Xiang Yu and Yan Jin had already arrived in this unfamiliar land. As soon as they got off the plane, they rushed to the government department of Country A to hold talks with relevant officials. Xiang Yu calmly explained the company's position and solutions, and Yan Jin supplemented the advantages of the project and future development direction with his keen business sense and fluent English.

The officials of Country A were tough at first, but as Xiang Yu and Yan Jin made well-reasoned analysis and expressed their sincerity, their expressions gradually softened. The talks lasted a whole afternoon, and in the end, the government of Country A expressed its willingness to re-evaluate the project and give the company certain policy support.

After leaving the government building, Boss Huang excitedly shook Xiang Yu's hand and said, "Boss Xiang, Boss Yan, thank you so much! If you hadn't stepped in personally, our company would have been finished this time!"

Xiang Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Huang, we are partners and we should help each other. This incident has also sounded the alarm for us. The risks and challenges of the global market are far more complicated than we imagined. We must be more cautious in the future."

In the following days, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin visited other partners of the project, including banks and suppliers, to solve problems and dispel doubts one by one. Yan Jin's decisiveness and courage, as well as her accurate grasp of market risks, won the respect and recognition of everyone, even Bank Manager Lin, who had always been prejudiced against Yan Jin, also looked at her with new eyes.

With their joint efforts, the project in Country A was finally restored and put back on track. However, the shock brought by this turmoil was deeply engraved in everyone's heart.

On the plane back home, Xiang Yu looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the window, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that although the crisis had passed, there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. The wave of globalization is unstoppable, and if the company wants to gain a foothold on the international stage, it must continuously improve its risk prevention and control capabilities.

"Yan Jin..." Xiang Yu turned his head to look at Yan Jin, who was resting with his eyes closed, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
