Chapter 789: Sell!
The general manager of Phoenix Farm Villa, Zhang Yunkui, returned with a gloomy expression!
He had never expected Xiao Lingyu to be such a ruthless person, directly revealing the true purpose of his apology. If this happened in private, then it would be fine.
As Xiao Lingyu had pointed out, Director Zhang had people video everything when he apologized to Xiao Lingyu. This would show his sincerity to the internet. Then, it didn’t matter if Xiao Lingyu forgave him or not.
However, Zhang Yunkui had a short temper and was too arrogant and self-righteous. He was a selfish person who was centered around himself. He had shirked responsibility and apologized without sincerity. Moreover, he had an aggressive attitude. He wanted people to accept the apology and forgive him.
He had angered Xiao Lingyu, which was why she revealed the real purpose of his apology. He thought he could use the apology to redeem the reputation of Phoenix Farm Villa, but now the reputation had become even worse.
This was because someone had posted the news of his ‘apology’ directly on the internet, which caused a great impact.
“Hehe, what a joke. The Phoenix Farm Villa is in the wrong, but the person basically came to demand CEO Xiao forgive him. This is crazy.”
“What’s wrong with the Phoenix Farm Villa for the past two years? They used to be the largest farm in the country. Its service attitude was very good, and its popularity and visitor flow were very good. I used to go there two or three times every year. After all, the environment there was clean and elegant.
“The last time I went there was two years ago. After I went there, I realized that not only was the ticket price increased, but the service attitude had also become very bad. Even if I went to ask the staff for directions, they would scold me for being blind and deaf.
“What was even more unacceptable was that the food sold on the farm was really expensive. The service staff also had an arrogant attitude. I couldn’t stand that. It was like we owed them or something.
“We went there to spend money, but we had to appease the service staff. Who could stand it? We’re not stupid. From then on, I never wanted to go to Phoenix Villa again. At the suggestion of my friend, I chose to come to Taoyuan Village. I didn’t expect that I would fall in love with this place as soon as I came to Taoyuan Village.
“OP, I agree with you. In the past, Phoenix Villa was my first choice for my vacation. However, two years ago, I discovered that it had become a complete mess. The quality dropped. You’re right. We’re spending money to serve the staff. Therefore, I swore not to go there again.
“However, I didn’t expect that something even more disgusting would happen. Someone from Phoenix Villa actually ordered people to set up Taoyuan Village. This is insane. The two farms are thousands of miles apart.
......
“Phoenix villa refuses to reflect on its mistake. It was stuck in a rut, and this led to a drop in customer flow. Instead of dealing with that, they decided to frame Taoyuan Village. What a joke!”
“That’s right. The Phoenix Villa used to be so beautiful. The scenery was beautiful, and the environment was elegant. Once you entered, you felt very comfortable. Now, it is a mess. I didn’t want to go there anymore.”
All of a sudden, the netizens’ impression of the Phoenix farm villa reached rock bottom.
Under such circumstances, the Phoenix Farm Villa couldn’t be opened anymore because there wouldn’t be any customers. However, even if they didn’t open for business, Phoenix Villa was still bleeding money.
“What’s going on?” The shareholders saw the news exposed on the internet and were so angry that their faces turned green, “Zhang Yunkui, didn’t you go to apologize? How did this happen? What did you do?” They questioned angrily.
“Director Zhang, please give us an explanation. What did you do?”
“Zhang Yunkui, this is just perfect. Even if we keep Phoenix Villa closed, we’ll suffer daily losses. It’s better to declare bankruptcy directly. Otherwise, the bigger the loss, the higher the debt to the bank.”
“No. Zhang Yunkui, you have to compensate us for the loss. It’s not a small loss, but a big loss of millions or tens of millions.”
“That’s right. You have to compensate us!”
In this situation, they would not be able to turn the tide. Eventually, the Phoenix Farm Villa could only declare bankruptcy!
Therefore, for their own interests, they demanded Zhang Yunkui compensate them.
When Zhang Yunkui heard the ugly words of the shareholders, his face darkened even more. He shouted angrily, “Everyone is asking me for compensation now. Why didn’t you guys share the money you earned with me when we were making money?”
Zhang Yunkui was very unconvinced.
He had once increased Phoenix Villa’s turnover to 10%, but at that time, why did no one think of sharing the money with him?
Now that they were losing money, they were asking him for money instead. It didn’t make sense.
Zhang Yunkui’s father, Zhang Da, said with a faint expression, “Indeed. Once, Director Zhang increased Phoenix Resort’s annual turnover to 120%. At that time, other than praises, you didn’t do anything else. Now that we’re losing money, all of you have the nerve to ask him for compensation.”
One of the shareholders said indignantly, “The loss of Phoenix Villa is the result of director Zhang’s improper management. Since that’s the case, of course, you have to bear some consequences.”
“Well said! Since that’s the case, why didn’t you come out to manage Phoenix Villa yourself but chose director Zhang instead?” Zhang Da retorted sharply, “Is it because you know very well that you don’t have the management ability, so you don’t dare to take over?”
The shareholders didn’t say anything.
“This is the choice you made back then, so you should bear the consequences of your choice accordingly!” Zhang Da continued to speak sharply, “Doing business will lead to gains and losses. You handed the management to someone else, but they could only help you earn money and not lose money?”
All the shareholders couldn’t refute what Zhang Da said.
People who did business had both wins and losses. It didn’t make sense for one to enjoy all the winnings but blame the losses on someone else.
Zhang Da’s sharp eyes swept over all the shareholders present, and then he said, “Now we’re here to solve the problem. As for the compensation problem, we’ll talk about it later!”
Zhang Da still had a certain dignity and an imposing manner. All of a sudden, these shareholders were stunned.
After the shareholders heard this, they looked at each other. One of the shareholders asked, “Then, chairman Zhang, how do you think this matter should be resolved?”
“But how can we solve this problem?” One of the shareholders said in a very worried and pessimistic manner.
“I also feel that this situation can not be turned around at all unless we can find someone capable enough to turn the tide. But where are we going to find that person?”
A few shareholders began to discuss, but everyone was not optimistic.
At this moment, a shareholder asked, “Chairman Zhang, do you have an idea?” Someone still threw the question back to chairman Zhang.
“Yes, chairman Zhang, what’s your plan?”
Zhang Yunkui pursed his lips tightly, but he still looked at his father expectantly.
“Hehe...” Chairman Zhang laughed mysteriously, then said, “I do have a proposal, but I wonder if everyone will accept it?”
“What proposal?” Someone immediately asked.
“Sell the Phoenix farm villa directly.”
“Ah, sell it?”
The shareholders were very surprised.
“Right now, the business of the Phoenix Farm Villa is not good, but if we want to sell it, we can still sell it at a price of 100 to 200 million. If we continue to delay, its value will decrease even more. At that time, it’s hard to say whether it can be sold at a price of 100 to 200 million,” Zhang Da said very calmly.
When he had invested in this resort, he had earned back all of his money over the past ten years.
With the current assets of his Zhang family, it would not be a problem for them to take over Phoenix Villa.
However, the problem was that there was no room for redemption for Phoenix Villa. Taking it over was clearly bad business.
Moreover, the Zhang family had not found a capable person who could manage the villa. Naturally, they gave up on the place.
The shareholders were silent for a moment.
Zhang Da said again, “I think all of the shareholders have already made a profit over the years. Even if we sell Phoenix Resort now, it won’t be a loss at all. So, I hope that everyone will consider it carefully.”
One of the shareholders asked, “Chairman Zhang, will anyone buy it?”
“Let the news out. Naturally, someone will buy it!” Zhang Da said, “Just because we don’t manage it well doesn’t mean that others won’t manage it well. Phoenix Villa used to be famous. Naturally, someone will be willing to take over.”
After hearing Zhang Da’s suggestion, these shareholders discussed it with each other and then agreed unanimously.
“We’ll sell!”
