Chapter 2015: Chapter 462: Dating Again After 25
Jian Ran and Gu Mochen took a brief break at noon, then headed to the meeting room together.
The Carlo Branch in France seemed relatively quiet, but little did they know, outside the public opinion was already buzzing.
Although Carlo initially settled in Italy, with its development over the past few years, it has expanded branches throughout Europe and even worldwide.
In France over the past ten years, it has become deeply rooted, affecting the lives of many people.
Therefore, ever since the incident with Carlo occurred, it has continuously sparked intense discussions among the people.
Moreover, the president openly provoked, plus his daughter had no mental issues as claimed – this face-slapping incident left everyone even more suspicious of the truth.
After all, Carlo has been in France for years, and upon careful consideration, there really hasn’t been any incidents...
The matter of the pregnant woman’s miscarriage is truly peculiar.
So, could it be that someone is sabotaging intentionally?
The opinions are varied, and there isn’t a definite conclusion for now.
...
Because Gu Mochen previously transferred Carlo under Jian Ran’s name, in fact, she is the biggest boss.
As the biggest boss of the company, Jian Ran’s appearance is justified.
Jian Ran and Gu Mochen appeared together and naturally sat in the first and second seats in the front row.
Jian Ran wore a formal outfit, her beautiful eyes were clear and delicate, her lips curved slightly. Having attended such major events with Gu Mochen several times, she was already accustomed to it.
Gu Mochen casually glanced at the crowd, although he hadn’t spoken yet, his whole body exuded an imposing aura, making people shudder; everyone was eagerly looking on, secretly wondering if there would be any earth-shattering moves today.
...
By two o’clock in the afternoon, Secretary Zhou, noting the time, immediately coughed softly and leaned towards Gu Mochen’s ear to speak.
"President Gu, the time is up, everyone is present, you can start."
"Alright."
Gu Mochen casually scanned the crowd, most of whom were local French investors who had made considerable profits with Carlo over the years.
The sight of everyone keenly observing with ulterior motives amused Gu Mochen slightly, his lips gave a faint tug before he slowly spoke.
"The reason for convening everyone to this board meeting today is for one matter only."
After a pause, Gu Mochen continued slowly amidst the expectant gazes of the audience.
"I plan to withdraw investment from France, in other words, I plan to declare the bankruptcy of Carlo’s branch in France."
Jian Ran:"..."
Gu Mochen spoke lightly, surely those present were already startled by his words.
After all, throughout these years with Carlo in France, they have indeed earned a lot.
Jian Ran slightly curved her lips; if Carlo announced a withdrawal of investment from France, it would inevitably trigger competition among other European countries.
We must recognize that when a large company like Carlo settles in a country, it surely stimulates the country’s economic development.
So, not only might these people immediately suffer a significant loss of income, but their future income might also lack assurance.
Jian Ran watched the crowd’s expressions change; although they were individuals who had faced major challenges, they surely didn’t expect Gu Mochen to do this.
Being able to witness so many astonished expressions from business leaders all at once was somewhat worthwhile.
...
Finally, a shareholder couldn’t bear it and spoke up.
"President Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"Yes, you absolutely can’t do this... Carlo has become one of the top three pillar companies in France."
"Right, if you leave, what will happen to Carlo and its tens of thousands of employees?"
Facing the crowd’s startled discussions, Gu Mochen calmly replied: "France has too many local enterprises; I think my outsider company is dispensable, irrelevant to the government and country."
Gu Mochen slightly curved his lips and then said: "I won’t let any Carlo employees be deprived; Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Andorra, Monaco all border France. If French employees are willing to immigrate, I will establish Carlo branches in cities near France in these countries, making it convenient for everyone to work and return home to visit relatives. If they don’t want to change nationalities, I will provide elite employees with private vehicles; in short, their salary and benefits will only improve, not deteriorate, compared to being in France."
In short, the welfare will be done to perfection.
