170: Chapter 170: Sign the Contract!
Lin Luoluo arrived at the group company early in the morning with Zhou Yu.
It wasn’t long before Luo Sanguang arrived.
Despite Zhou Yu’s firm assurances the night before, Lin Luoluo was still somewhat anxious.
For this matter involving Luo Sanguang, the other party was amply prepared, with irrefutable evidence; she didn’t know what Zhou Yu might do to recover the money.
Zhou Yu and Lin Luoluo entered the reception room.
Inside sat a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean haircut.
This person was Luo Sanguang.
Upon seeing Lin Luoluo, Luo Sanguang immediately revealed a malevolent smile.
Lin, I trust you’ve seen the documents I sent.
Your Lin Corporation breached the contract first, and the evidence is conclusive.
Pay up the breach of contract fee now.”
“If this goes to court, your Lin Corporation’s losses will amount to more than ten billion.”
Luo Sanguang looked at Lin Luoluo with an arrogant and complacent expression as if he had her cornered.
Lin Luoluo’s face turned ugly; she said nothing, instead turning to see how Zhou Yu would handle the situation.
Zhou Yu gazed at Luo Sanguang and said with a smile,
Luo, indeed, our group is the party in breach of contract, and paying the penalty is only right.”
“However, I would like to ask, after we make the compensation, will your group continue to supply us with goods?”
Luo Sanguang was taken aback.
“And who might this be?”
“I am also a senior executive of the Lin Corporation; I can make decisions on behalf of Ms.
Luo Sanguang looked at Lin Luoluo with an inquiring glance.
Lin Luoluo, unsure of what Zhou Yu was plotting, still nodded her head.
“His name is Zhou Yu, and he can decide for me.”
Luo Sanguang let out a laugh.
Zhou seems like a straightforward person.”
“No problem, as long as your Lin Corporation pays the penalty fee, we can still discuss partnership.”
Zhou Yu began to speak,
Luo, you are surely aware of the difficulties faced by Lin Corporation.
We urgently need a supply of sand, and I hope you can offer the lowest possible price.
Lin Corporation will sign a ten-year supply contract with you.”
Hearing this, Luo Sanguang sneered inwardly.
The Lin Corporation must indeed be desperate, willing to cooperate even after sustaining such losses.
Well, if the meat is delivered to one’s lips, it would be foolish not to eat it.
He might as well take advantage of them again, and perhaps use the opportunity to swallow up Lin Corporation entirely.
“Certainly, no problem.”
Zhou Yu said with a smile, “Mr.
Luo, I mentioned the lowest price for supplying goods.
If there happens to be a lower price on the market, you’ll also have to pay us a penalty fee, is that alright?”
Without a second thought, Luo Sanguang nodded.
“Of course, that’s no problem.”
He sneered to himself.
The one manipulating the supply cut-off to Lin Corporation from behind the scenes was a big figure in Yu City.
That bigwig had already made it clear; no one in the market would supply goods to Lin Corporation.
Now, as the only one quoting a price, wasn’t he the lowest price by default!
This was an absolutely foolproof plan.
Zhou Yu had Wang Miao bring over the contract that was prepared in advance.
“The contract is ready, Mr.
Luo, please have a look.”
Luo Sanguang took the contract and scrutinized it carefully.
The contract was completely standard with no tricks, except for one requirement in the method of supply.
The requirement was that the goods Luo Sanguang provided must be at the lowest price, or else a penalty ten times the amount of the deposit would have to be paid.
Upon seeing this requirement, Luo Sanguang’s eyes flashed with a cold sneer.
It seemed Lin Corporation was indeed driven to a wall.
“How much are you planning to pay in advance for the goods this time?”
Zhou Yu smiled faintly,
“Including the ten billion for the breach of contract fee, we will pay you twenty billion in one lump sum.”
Lin Luoluo’s expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.
She had never imagined that Zhou Yu would agree to pay Luo Sanguang twenty billion.
Lin Corporation only had a little over twenty billion on its books, and that was after the acquisition of Zongsheng Group.
Luo Sanguang had clearly come to exploit Lin Corporation, and now they were even considering cooperating with him.
If Luo Sanguang played any more tricks and Lin Corporation’s cash flow broke, the only option left would be bankruptcy.
If she had known Zhou Yu would do this, she would have never agreed.
Lin Luoluo, frantic and angry, immediately tried to stop Zhou Yu.
However, Luo Sanguang, perceptive of Lin Luoluo’s change in expression, spoke before she could,
“This contract is fine.”
Having said this, he quickly signed his name.
“Alright, the contract is signed, pay up.”
Lin Luoluo’s complexion turned utterly dreadful.
Everything was completely ruined now.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said to Lin Luoluo,
Lin, have the finance department transfer the funds to him.”
Lin Luoluo glared at Zhou Yu furiously.
“Do you realize the consequences of what you’re doing?”
Before Zhou Yu could reply, Luo Sanguang laughed heartily,
Lin, there’s no going back now.
Pay me the twenty billion right away, or I’ll immediately contact my lawyer to sue you.
I guarantee you’ll be bankrupt within a week.”
As he spoke, Luo Sanguang picked up the freshly signed contract and waved it in front of Lin Luoluo with a sinister smile.
“Just to remind you, this contract specifies only the deadline for the advance payment and sets no deadline for delivery.”
“This means you must pay the advance today, but as for me, I can decide whenever I want to deliver the goods.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Luoluo was stunned.
She never expected Zhou Yu to draft such a contract.
Was this not blatantly pushing Lin Corporation into the fire pit?
Lin Luoluo, trembling with rage, glared at Zhou Yu.
“What exactly are you trying to do?”
