The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

Chapter 1941 Clarification

[But at least we won't be at a disadvantage in the competition because of reputation issues, and we've already been severely suppressed by Shengtian Group through public opinion.]

If we step in now and clarify Tang Qiu's situation, we can significantly slow down the decline in Tomorrow Group's revenue.

This will allow Tomorrow Group to hold on for longer.

As for Mr. Chen's decision to continue expanding various projects, I suspect he doesn't take Shengtian Group's targeting seriously. He doesn't want to abandon Tomorrow Group's original expansion speed because of Shengtian Group's actions.

Regarding the funding issue, although I don't know what backup plans President Chen has, I can confirm one thing: even if President Chen doesn't have any backup plans, Tomorrow Group will not collapse under the targeting of Shengtian Group.

This business battle is all about capital, and this capital is used to maintain company operations, including raw materials, finished products, and employee salaries.

Putting everything else aside, I can say with certainty that when Tomorrow Group truly faces a life-or-death crisis, most of its employees will forgo their current salaries to help the company overcome its difficulties.

[I can't be sure about other things, but if Tomorrow Group really encounters financial problems, I won't accept any salary until Tomorrow Group overcomes its difficulties; I will live and die with Tomorrow Group.]

[Moreover, this is the most difficult time for Tomorrow Group. If we can hold on until next year, we can expect to secure overseas orders for Zhenhao canned goods, release films and television shows, and allow the black bitter fruit to ripen.]

The revenue generated by these things is something the opposing forces can't target. So as long as we persevere through this easiest period, and the Group's subsequent profit-making opportunities emerge, the pressure will shift to the opposing forces.

【............】

Wei Yan briefly explained his thoughts: many of Tomorrow Group's revenue streams are explosive. Once Tomorrow Group sees these explosive revenues, the pressure on Tomorrow Group will be greatly reduced.

At that point, Shengtian Group will have a headache. They will have plenty of funds coming in, while the opposing groups will be consistently losing money and certainly won't last long.

Moreover, those groups have many shareholders. If time goes on, those shareholders will definitely cause trouble when they find that their dividends have decreased. If they are lucky, Shengtian Group may collapse on its own.

After hearing Wei Yan's words, the other managers gradually calmed down as well.

Ji Xiujie: That's right. If Tomorrow Group really encounters financial difficulties, I am willing to give up my salary to help Tomorrow Group overcome the difficulties first.

Zhang Yuqin: I'm willing too.

Chu Han: I'm also willing to forgo my salary to help Tomorrow Group overcome its difficulties.

Pang Tao: We are all sensible people. Our current achievements are all thanks to Tomorrow Group. If Tomorrow Group were gone, we would be nothing.

...........

After Wei Yan's speech, the managers who were initially worried about Tomorrow Group being targeted were now somewhat relieved.

They have no good way to deal with the targeting by hostile forces, but they can decide for themselves when it comes to their salaries.

Besides, they've worked for so long, and with the salary Mr. Chen gives them, they've already accumulated a considerable amount of savings. Even without a salary, they could live quite well.

Moreover, there will be no mortgage pressure; those who can afford to buy a house have already done so with cash.

Most employees who haven't bought a house yet have chosen to live in the employee housing complex, since the environment there is much better than renting outside.

Even if employees of Tomorrow Group do not receive their salaries for a year or two, they will not experience any financial pressure.

Moreover, once Tomorrow Group overcomes its difficulties, given President Chen's attitude towards Tomorrow Group employees, their salaries will definitely be paid in full, and they may even receive more in return because of this incident.

Currently, Tomorrow Group's salary expenses are amounting to tens of billions every month. If they don't accept the salaries, even if Tomorrow Group subsequently falls into a state of loss.

They can stay for a long time without pay.

at the same time.

When Tang Qiu saw the message in the manager's group, she knew it was time for her to step in. She had already prepared for the clarification long ago.

However, Wei Yan said that it would be more beneficial for Tomorrow Group to wait for the public opinion to ferment for a while.

So she's been waiting all this time, and now is the perfect opportunity.

Thinking of this, Tang Qiu looked at his assistant and made the arrangements.

"Go and get ready, I'm going to record a clarification video soon."

"Yes, Tang law."

Upon hearing this, the assistant quickly left the office.

After a while,

Tang Qiu arrived at the room where the video was being recorded, looked at the front of the room, and slowly began to speak.

Hello everyone, I am Tang Qiu. I am very sorry for the online rumors that I deliberately lost the lawsuit.

I admit that I intentionally lost the case, but this was not because I received money or helped anyone escape punishment.

The situation at the time was...

Tang Qiu described in detail how he deliberately lost the match and how those people reacted.

I admit I'm not a qualified lawyer. This experience has made me realize I'm not suited for this profession.

I visited that worker; his entire family is in the hospital, and the daily expenses are substantial. The hospitalization costs alone are already bankrupting the whole family.

[If the worker was at fault, I wouldn't say anything. The main reason, according to my investigation, was that the company failed to provide the worker with safety equipment, not that the worker didn't follow regulations.]

Of course, after this incident, the company replenished the safety equipment, aiming to establish the worker's violation of regulations and ultimately reduce the compensation payable.

When I learned all this, I couldn't bear it. I could have won that case, but winning it would have come at the cost of ruining a family, and I couldn't bear that.

Moreover, that family hadn't done anything wrong.

I admit that my actions violated legal regulations, and I apologize for that. However, if I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice.

I chose the legal profession because I wanted to uphold justice, but becoming a lawyer has forced me to do things against my conscience. I truly feel that the legal profession is not right for me.

Tang Qiu looked at the camera and slowly began to speak.
