After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Yan Jin rubbed her sore temples and tiredly sank into the soft sofa of the cafe. She was exhausted physically and mentally from the days of running around. The shareholders' suspicious and scrutinizing eyes seemed to still be swaying in front of her eyes, and the bank manager's cold rejection seemed to still echo in her ears.

"Boss Yan, why are you worrying here alone?"

A hearty voice interrupted Yan Jin's thoughts. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with some surprise. "Mr. Wang? Why are you here?"

The person who came was Mr. Wang, who had cooperated with Xiang Group a few years ago, but later rarely interacted with them due to business adjustments. Mr. Wang sat down opposite her with a smile and waved to the waiter to add a set of coffee cups.

"What a coincidence! I had a meeting nearby, so I thought I'd come a little earlier. I didn't expect to run into you." Mr. Wang took a sip of coffee and asked casually, "You don't look well. Is the company in trouble?"

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to Mr. Wang. After all, one more person means more strength, and Mr. Wang is also a senior in the business world, and he might be able to give some useful suggestions.

After listening to Yan Jin's story, President Wang pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The market is now more cautious about emerging industries. It is understandable that those old banks are seeking stability and are unwilling to lend easily."

Yan Jin smiled bitterly. She knew this clearly, but in the current situation, if she couldn't raise funds as soon as possible, the partner company would really have no choice but to go bankrupt and liquidate.

"But..." Mr. Wang changed the subject, "I do know a bank that has been adjusting its strategy in recent years and is very interested in emerging industries. Its approval process is also relatively fast..."

Yan Jin raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Really? That's great! Mr. Wang, can you give me the contact information of this bank? I will visit them right away!"

President Wang smiled and nodded, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yan Jin, "I happen to know the president of this bank. Take my business card and go find him, and say that I introduced you."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang!" Yan Jin took the business card excitedly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Mr. Wang waved his hand. "But..." He paused and looked at Yan Jin meaningfully. "I heard that you and Xiang Yu...are divorced?"

The smile on Yan Jin's face froze slightly, and he nodded.

"Young people, it's understandable that you act impulsively..." Mr. Wang sighed and said earnestly, "Some things, you only know how to cherish them after you lose them..." Yan Jin tightly grasped Mr. Wang's business card, as if she was holding the last hope of the partner company. She immediately dialed the number on the business card, and a steady male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, I am President Guo of XX Bank."

Yan Jin took a deep breath and briefly introduced the projects of himself and his partner companies, emphasizing the innovativeness and future development potential of the projects. Unexpectedly, President Guo did not show rejection and suspicion of emerging industries like the previous bank managers, but asked many detailed questions with great interest.

Yan Jin keenly caught this glimmer of hope. She was fully alert and explained the materials she had prepared in advance, from market analysis, technical advantages to profit model. She explained every aspect clearly and thoroughly, with passion and confidence.

On the other end of the phone, President Guo listened quietly, asking some professional questions from time to time, and Yan Jin gave reasonable explanations one by one. Finally, President Guo said with a hint of appreciation: "Mr. Yan, your project is very attractive, and we are very interested in learning more. When would it be convenient for you to come to our bank to discuss in detail?"

Yan Jin suppressed his inner excitement and tried to keep his tone calm: "President Guo, I can come over anytime, you see..."

At the same time, an emergency meeting was being held at the partner company. The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, and the shareholders looked solemn and anxious.

Xiang Yu sat at the head of the conference table, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I know that everyone is worried about the future of the company, but I can tell you clearly that we are not without a chance to turn things around!"

He turned on the projector, and a brand new business plan appeared on the screen. Xiang Yu pointed at the screen and said firmly: "This is the plan I revised overnight. We will upgrade the product and expand the market based on the existing technology..."

Xiang Yu elaborated on the new business model and future development prospects in detail. Every data has been repeatedly scrutinized, and every plan is full of feasibility and foresight. His voice was sonorous and powerful, like a reassurance, gradually dispelling the haze in the conference room.

However, at this moment, shareholder Liu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Xiang, what you said is all very good, but the reality is that what we lack most now is funds. Without funds, everything is empty talk!"

Xiang Yu looked at shareholder Liu with a burning gaze, his lips curled up with a confident arc: "About the issue of funds..." "About the issue of funds," Xiang Yu paused, his eyes swept across every shareholder present, and finally landed on shareholder Liu, "I have found a solution." He did not directly explain the content of the plan, but handed a document to shareholder Liu, "This is a new equity incentive plan I drafted, I hope it can give you a shot in the arm."

Shareholder Liu took the document suspiciously and read it carefully. In the document, Xiang Yu not only promised a generous return on equity, but also formulated a flexible exit mechanism based on the needs of different shareholders. More importantly, he also promised to use part of his personal assets as a guarantee for the company's operations.

"Mr. Xiang, you are putting all your assets into this deal!" an old shareholder couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiang Yu looked determined, "I believe in the company's potential, and I believe in your vision even more. This crisis is a challenge we all face, and it will also be an opportunity for us to achieve success together!" He looked around at everyone, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone, "I hope everyone can unite and overcome the difficulties together!"

The meeting room fell into silence, and the shareholders were all shocked by Xiang Yu's determination and courage. Finally, shareholder Liu took the lead in expressing his opinion: "I agree with Mr. Xiang's plan! I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties!"

With the support of shareholder Liu, other shareholders also expressed their willingness to trust Xiang Yu again. Financial consultant Zhao, who had been silent, also spoke up at this time: "I have made a more detailed fund use plan and risk control measures based on the new business plan, and I believe it will enhance the bank's confidence in lending."

After the meeting, Xiang Yu immediately contacted Bank Manager Lin and informed him of the meeting results and the new plan, and tactfully stated that other banks had expressed strong interest in their project. Bank Manager Lin was silent for a moment, and said with a hint of hesitation: "Mr. Xiang, you also know that bank loans need to go through a strict evaluation process..."

"I understand," Xiang Yu did not give Manager Lin a chance to refuse, "but time waits for no one. I believe Manager Lin also wants to see our project go smoothly, right?" His tone was steady, but with unquestionable affirmation.

As if to confirm Xiang Yu's words, the phone on Manager Lin's desk suddenly rang. He picked up the phone, his expression changed several times, and when he finally hung up the phone, his face was already full of professional smiles.

"Mr. Xiang, congratulations! It seems that your company has been developing very well recently!" Manager Lin's tone was obviously much more enthusiastic than before. "I just received news that a bank is very interested in your company's project and has submitted an application for intent."

Xiang Yu understood, but asked calmly: "Oh? Which bank has such foresight?"

"Haha, I can't disclose this for the time being," Manager Lin laughed. "However, I can assure you that our bank always gives the green light to high-quality customers. Since your company already has other financing channels, I am relieved." He paused and changed the subject. "Of course, if you still have needs, our bank is also very happy to serve you. After all, we have always maintained a good cooperative relationship."

"Of course, we'll discuss the cooperation in detail later." Xiang Yu hung up the phone with a meaningful smile on his face. He knew that Manager Lin changed his attitude after seeing the intention of the new bank and was worried about losing high-quality customers.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Yan Jin: "Done."

A few minutes later, Yan Jin pushed open the door of the office with an expression of unconcealable joy on her face: "It seems that we have the same idea."

Xiang Yu smiled and stood up, pulling Yan Jin to sit on the sofa: "It seems that we, the 'former' couple, have quite a good understanding."

Yan Jin rolled her eyes at him, but her tone was a little relaxed: "Don't be so funny, the matter has not been completely resolved. Although there is an intention of the new bank, the specific terms still need further negotiation, and..."

"I know," Xiang Yu interrupted her, "and we also need to appease those wavering shareholders one by one."

"Yes," Yan Jin nodded, "This crisis has made us see some problems within the company, and it has also made us more clearly aware of each other's value."

"Yes," Xiang Yu looked at her affectionately, "Yan Jin, thank you..."

"Thank me for what?" Yan Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Thank you for always being there." Xiang Yu's eyes were deep and gentle, and his tone was low and serious.

Yan Jin avoided his gaze, stood up and said, "I'm going to talk to Consultant Zhao about the negotiations with the new bank." After that, she turned and left the office.

Looking at her leaving back, Xiang Yu's eyes gradually became firm. He knew that if he wanted to get Yan Jin back, he still had a long way to go, but he would not give up. This time, he must seize the opportunity to keep her firmly by his side.

He picked up the phone and dialed Consultant Zhao's number: "Consultant Zhao, regarding the negotiations with the new bank..."
