Chapter 2461 âI'll come over right away. Inform them that Iâll have a video conference with their president later.â With that, Forrest rushed to the company. As soon as he got there, the secretary ran over. âPresident Lynch, bad news. Inez Corporation also called and said they received news from the US to cancel their contract with us. Theyâre pulling out of our cooperation last- minute. Inez is one of our largest domestic customers. Orders from them are worth two billion annually.â âHow did Inez receive the news so quickly? Did the company leak it?â Forrest asked in a cold voice. âThatâs impossible. Only a few members of the upper management know about it. Nobody else knows anything, and the executives wonât harm their own interests either.â âIâll contact the US.â Forrest hurriedly walked back to his office and made a video call with President Smith in the US. A middle-
aged man in his forties soon appeared on the other side of the screen. âPresident Lynch, I know you want to inquire about the termination of the contract, but thereâs nothing we can do about it. Earlier, the authorities came to inspect and said that your products are not up to standard, so we canât install them on our cars.â âThatâs impossible,â Forrest said calmly. âOur products are made in accordance with the standards of US exports. Theyâve gone through rigorous testing and are the worldâs best when it comes to withstanding strong impacts.â âYou definitely wonât admit it, but it is not up to you.â President Smith was as stubborn as a mule. âIn any case, itâs clearly written in the contract that we can cancel the contract without any termination fee if it doesnât meet the standard.â Forrest had always been indifferent, but now, his expression was dark. â You kept urging for production to speed up before, and your order is already 80 percent complete. If you cancel the contract right now, our company will lose a lot of money.â âThatâs your problem.â Smith finished and hung up the call immediately. Forrestâs temples throbbed. Then, the secretary came in. â President Lynch, Chairman Lynch has called an emergency meeting.â âIâm going over now.â Forrest stood up. In the conference room, the companyâs general manager said angrily, âIâve contacted the relevant testing department in the US, and thereâs nothing wrong with our product indicators. Sharon Company is clearly doing this on purpose. As for Inez Corporation, they received the news around the same time as us. Are they joining forces to defraud us because theyâve found another buyer?â âBut Sharon Company is very powerful and wealthy in the US.
If they say the products are not up to standard and inform the local authorities in advance to deny everything, itâll take a year or two even if we go to court with them. Our companyâs capital turnover canât afford to wait. Now that Inez Corporation is also causing trouble for us, our company wonât be able to hold on for half a year.â âWhy is this happening all of a sudden? President Lynch, didnât the negotiations go well?â The executives all looked at Forrest. He was the one who personally flew to the US to negotiate the matter. âIâm not sure yet.â Forrestâs expressionless face tightened. âWe'll divide into two groups. Iâll buy a ticket for this afternoon and fly to Shelltown to talk to Inez Corporationâs boss. General Manager, youâll go to the US first. I'll booka flight overnight, and weâll meet there.â âThe General Manager doesnât need to go for now. You go to Inez first.â Jerry rubbed his brows. âI havenât told you about the news I received earlier, but the shipping company we're cooperating with has encountered some problems and has to suspend its routes. As you know, most of the company's products are mainly transported by sea. Even if we can mend the partnership now, we have so many scheduled goods, and if we canât meet the schedule, weâll have to pay additional money. In short, if our products have to be shipped by sea, we wonât make any money at all.â âChairman Lynch, did we offend someone?â At that moment, everyone in the conference room could tell that something was wrong. âIt ll be fine if itâs just a problem in the US, but why is there trouble with all our big domestic customers and shipping partners too? âExactly, Chairman Lynch. Why donât you... look for Ryan Snow? Heâs about to be your son-in-law, right? With his power, he might be able to help. Jerry looked embarrassed. Ryan had already helped the Lynch family many times. How could he be so shameless to ask for help again?
Besides, Freya was dating Ryan now. He did not want to be a drag on his daughter.
