Free Web NovelChapter 1886: Chapter 1873: Family (6)
A week ago, when Han Yifan just left home, he saw Bo Yi at the airport.
He originally came to find Shang Feifei, but as soon as he got off the plane, there was something at the company, so he immediately flew over to handle it without even leaving the airport.
In the past, if something like this happened and he didn’t have to be present to solve it personally, he would delegate it to his subordinates. After all, any issues related to film and television would originally be handed to Bo Yan. If there were funding issues, just a call home would suffice. The daily operations had a dedicated team, and he almost didn’t need to do anything, allowing him to go wherever with Shang Feifei without worries.
But now, things were different. While he wouldn’t interfere in professional matters he didn’t understand, he had to shoulder more of the company’s operations. Thankfully, they made a huge profit off Bosch this time, so there weren’t many funding shortages.
However, because of this, the company planned to start several projects at the beginning of the year and also signed several newcomers. A few years ago, when the company first started, they had already signed several novices. Usually, they’d shoot web dramas and stage plays, without using the traffic model, letting these actors progress step by step. If any couldn’t endure midway or were poached by other agencies, they wouldn’t be forced to stay. However, those who stayed had all improved their acting skills after years of honing.
Additionally, early on, the company deliberately fostered a group of directors and screenwriters. In past years, they mostly dabbled in web dramas, but since last year, the returns on several films the company invested in were good. They now had both money and reputation, with production quality improving gradually. At this time, these directors, screenwriters, and actors had all been refined, and with money and capability, it was the perfect moment for results.
In the early stages, Bo Yan devoted immense effort into the company. Beyond participating in production, securing sponsorships, investing, and directing himself, he also managed many company operations. His future work focus would likely be on his acting career, at most serving as a company consultant and overseeing some projects, but he wouldn’t handle these management tasks. He wouldn’t manage them, so now it was all up to Han Yifan.
Independence isn’t just about shouting slogans. Not asking parents for help is merely the first step. Afterwards, he must independently learn to manage and shoulder more responsibilities, rather than being passive. Everyone around him was so career-driven, even Xia Siyu, who usually got by, had worked hard and skyrocketed her achievements in recent years.
Reflecting on himself, he roughly understood why Shang Feifei had been reluctant to marry him before. Who would want a husband with no ambition, focusing only on them every day? Men need some drive, especially since she herself was very career-focused. Being with Han Yifan was comfortable because they were dating, but marriage was far more complex than dating.
What Han Yifan didn’t expect was, when he finally finished his work and came to find her, he ran into the Bo family father and son on the way.
These days, Bo Qiliu and Bo Yi have had a hard time. Financial report falsification was a fact, and it was executed under their directive. After this event occurred, they initially tried to gloss over it and even filed a lawsuit against the whistleblowing former financial officer for commercial leak. Bo Yan was well-prepared. When that person blew the whistle, he didn’t have precise data, and without data, there was no concern regarding company secrets. It was more of a rumor than a report. Bo Yan had already hired luxurious legal teams from both domestic and abroad to defend the matter. Even if it went to court, they wouldn’t be passive. Moreover, the payment was sufficient. Although this person was a "conscience revelation" whistleblower, the falsification also implicated him. If dragged down, he might end up in jail himself. Bo Yan had considered this early on; if truly imprisoned, he’d be given substantial compensation.
With multiple channels in play, the former financial officer was very generous. Faced with Bo Qiliu’s threats, he showed no fear. The threats didn’t work, and since what he said was factual, they had to think of another way.
Falsifying financial reports while being listed on the US stock market could really lead to imprisonment. Since they couldn’t deny it, they had to try their best to remedy it. First, they had to appease shareholder emotions and arrange for someone to take the brunt of the situation, at least to avoid true imprisonment. On top of that, the company’s rapid expansion over recent years already met financial bottlenecks. Should the stock crash, lenders would rush to collect debts in an instant.
Bo Qiliu and Bo Yi now experienced what it was like post-Shengxia Furniture fire, where not only did they lose a significant sum, but also faced creditors hunting them for repayment. Bo Yi, who was good at his rhetorics, was dumbfounded by such a crisis and couldn’t stand properly. Bo Qiliu, managing this and that, struggled to keep up.
At this time, it was still the elder of the Bo Family who stepped up, although he previously retired from the company due to health issues, and hearing about this almost worsened his condition further.
However, at this point, saying more was useless. Fortunately, he vaguely sensed something was wrong earlier and made preparations. He replaced Bo Qiliu, reinstating himself. Brought forward a finance officer, similar to Bo Yan, who’d been calmed beforehand for taking responsibility. Internally, they calmed major shareholders to prevent them from withdrawing while ignoring the influx of debt collectors—that way, no run-outs would happen. At the same time, they cut off low-yield projects initiated during blind expansion in earlier stages.
This incident, as Bo Yan envisioned, immediately broke Bosch’s rapid but blind expansion, exposing its interior riddled with flaws. Although it was a fatal hit for Bosch, up till now, while it was significantly injured, it hadn’t collapsed entirely yet. If it were any later and things developed more severely before someone else tore down the façade, it would be irreversible—like the Lehman Brothers in 2008, which wasn’t spared bankruptcy despite its century-old legacy.
Despite having the elder of the Bo Family to stabilize the situation, these days Bo Qiliu and Bo Yi were still exhausted. However, even though they were exhausted, they managed to halt the declining trend.
Especially, they somehow got wind that Bo Yan had a hand behind this affair. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Thinking about the eve of New Year when Bo Yan pretended to sincerely visit home only to stab them in the back that very night—that’s truly the good son of the Bo Family! Shocked and furious, the Bo family father and son immediately came rushing over.
