Chapter 462 The Storm Rises Again
After the new product achieved initial success in the market, Lin Xiao and Su Yao had no time to celebrate before new troubles arose.
"Lin Xiao, several competitors have joined forces to maliciously slander our products, saying that our technology poses a security risk." Su Yao hurried into the office with a stack of reports.
Lin Xiao's face darkened: "This is obviously malicious competition. We must take measures to deal with it immediately."
They quickly organized a public relations team, issued a statement to clarify the facts, and invited authoritative agencies to conduct testing to prove the safety and reliability of the product.
"Su Yao, at the same time we need to strengthen communication with our customers so that they can understand the truth and not be misled by rumors." Lin Xiao said.
Su Yao nodded: "I have arranged someone to do it, but this time the opponent is so aggressive, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."
Sure enough, not only did the competitors not stop the slander, but they intensified it and even spread false information on some social media, causing public panic.
"Lin Xiao, public opinion is very unfavorable to us now. Many customers are asking for returns." The sales manager said anxiously.
Lin Xiao frowned: "First stabilize the customer and promise to give certain compensation and discounts if the test results prove that there is no problem with the product."
While dealing with the public opinion crisis, problems also arose within the company. Due to the recent high-intensity work and pressure, some employees began to show negative emotions and their work efficiency dropped significantly.
"Lin Xiao, this won't work. We have to find a way to boost the morale of our employees." Su Yao said.
Lin Xiao decided to hold a general meeting of all employees. At the meeting, he said sincerely: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. The difficulties faced by the company are temporary. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome the difficulties."
Su Yao also encouraged everyone: "We have experienced so many ups and downs together, and I believe we can get through this time."
The morale of employees has improved to a certain extent, but the crisis has not been resolved.
At this moment, the previous mysterious investor suddenly proposed to withdraw his investment, saying that he had lost confidence in the company's future development.
"Lin Xiao, what should we do? If investors withdraw their capital, the company's capital chain will be broken again." Su Yao was worried.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Let's have a good talk with the investor first to understand his true thoughts and demands."
After difficult negotiations, the investors finally agreed not to withdraw their investment for the time being, but put forward a series of harsh conditions.
Lin Xiao and Su Yao were in a dilemma...
Faced with the harsh conditions of investors, Lin Xiao and Su Yao fell into deep thought.
"Lin Xiao, if we agree to these conditions, we may lose a lot of autonomy and our future development will be greatly restricted." Su Yao said worriedly.
Lin Xiao frowned and paced back and forth in the office: "But if we don't agree, once the capital chain is broken, the consequences will be disastrous."
The two were caught in a dilemma, knowing that this decision would determine the survival of the company.
After a night of careful consideration, Lin Xiao finally made a decision: "Su Yao, we can't be led by investors. We built the company with our own hands, and we can't give up the leading position easily."
Su Yao nodded in support: "Okay, then let's work together to find a way to solve the funding problem."
They began to re-examine the company's financial situation and look for other financing channels.
"Lin Xiao, I found that we can apply for more loans from the bank by mortgaging our assets." Su Yao said.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up: "This is a solution, but the risk is not small."
Despite this, they decided to take a risk, and after many communications and negotiations with the bank, the bank finally agreed to the loan application.
However, new problems arose. Due to malicious slander from competitors, the company's suppliers began to demand early payment, otherwise they would stop supplying goods.
"Lin Xiao, this is simply adding insult to injury. Our funds are already tight." Su Yao said anxiously.
Lin Xiao calmly analyzed: "Let's have a good talk with the supplier first to buy some buffer time, and at the same time find new suppliers as alternatives."
In the negotiations with suppliers, Lin Xiao, with his sincerity and firm attitude, finally persuaded some suppliers to give a certain amount of leniency.
At the same time, the company's technical team encountered technical bottlenecks in the research and development of new products and was unable to complete the optimization and upgrade on time.
"Lin Xiao, the technical team has been working overtime for a long time, but still can't solve this problem." The technical supervisor said helplessly.
Lin Xiao personally came to the technical department and encouraged everyone: "Don't be discouraged, let's work together to find a solution and we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."
With Lin Xiao's encouragement, the technical team regained their spirits and after working day and night, they finally found a way to break through.
Just as the company was gradually getting out of trouble, Lin Xiao and Su Yao found that new cracks had appeared in their relationship...
