Chapter 1075 Seven Days
"Mr. Sun, please speak freely."
Su Yunxi said in a deep voice.
Sun Liqiang sneered a few times and said, "Miss Su, you must have seen that the three major consortiums are currently strangling us with all sorts of methods and blocking us in the business world. Our current situation is extremely difficult!"
"Currently, due to the pressure from the three major consortiums, no banks are willing to give us loans. We can no longer invest our meager funds into the research of lithography machines, which is like a bottomless pit. I hope Miss Su can make a decision as soon as possible!"
As soon as this was said, it was like opening a floodgate.
Everyone chimed in, urging Su Yunxi to abandon the lithography machine. They believed that the lithography machine was a constant investment, like burning money. It was acceptable before, and they held onto a slim hope, but now, with the pressure from the three major consortiums coveting it, they could no longer bear it.
However, Su Yunxi remained silent.
Sun Liqiang was clearly the backbone and leader of this group. He raised his hand to signal them to quiet down, and they instantly fell silent. He looked at Su Yunxi and said, "Ms. Su, please tell us your thoughts..."
Su Yunxi said in a deep voice, "The development of our new lithography machine has reached its final stage, only needing the last push. As long as we can overcome the current difficulties, we will succeed immediately. This is a 5-nanometer lithography machine, which is at the forefront internationally!"
These stirring words did not inspire any excitement in the people present; instead, some even showed disgust.
This was not for any other reason than the fact that they had heard this statement countless times.
"Ms. Su, we've heard this a hundred times!"
"You always say it's almost done, almost done, but we haven't seen any results yet!"
"Ms. Su, let me tell you, if we don't stop the lithography machine project within a week, I guarantee we will go bankrupt due to insufficient funds!"
The shareholders present were all sharp-tongued and sarcastic.
"Give Professor Long a little more time! Professor Long said that with another month, they have an eighty percent chance of breaking through!" Su Yunxi persuaded again.
Although the explanation was weak, she still had to say it.
"I'm sorry, Miss Su, we can't give you another month!"
Sun Liqiang said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Su Yunxi's brows furrowed.
"Miss Su, you only have two choices: first, stop the research on the lithography machine, or second, all of us will withdraw!" Sun Liqiang said expressionlessly.
Su Yunxi looked around at the others and asked, "Is this what you all think?"
The others chose to remain silent.
Su Yunxi wanted to say something more, but Sun Liqiang said, "Miss Su, no need to ask. We are here today to give you an ultimatum. Make your decision quickly!"
Su Yunxi's expression turned grim upon hearing this.
Currently, the situation of the Su family in the provincial capital was not optimistic. Although the Su family in the provincial capital was powerful, they had invested a large amount of capital in the research of the lithography machine, which created a funding gap for the Su family in the provincial capital.
In the past, this would have been easy to manage; they could have simply taken out loans, and the major banks would have been eager to lend to them. However, with the arrival of Su Tianci, this situation had changed.
These were the shareholders Su Yunxi had brought together, but now, in this critical situation, they clearly wanted to withdraw. If they withdrew, relying solely on the Su family, they would not be able to contend with Su Tianci and the three major consortiums!
What should be done?
Just then, a clear and loud voice echoed in, "If you want to withdraw your investment, then withdraw it quickly!"
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Chen Xuan walking in from outside.
Seeing Chen Xuan, many people showed wary expressions.
The combat power this guy had displayed was truly terrifying, but they were all people of high society, and they believed that the power of capital was paramount, so they were not that intimidated.
"Chen Xuan..."
Seeing this familiar face, Su Yunxi frowned.
"You've been bearing too much alone. Leave the rest to me."
Chen Xuan had already heard their conversation from outside.
All along, Su Yunxi had said that she would handle this matter, and Chen Xuan had not intervened. If he hadn't returned early, he would never have known the pressure Su Yunxi was under.
"But..."
Su Yunxi was puzzled. At this moment, how could Chen Xuan help?
"What did you just say? You want us to withdraw our investment?"
Looking at Chen Xuan, Sun Liqiang showed a hint of joy.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of completely offending the Su family in the provincial capital, he would have withdrawn his investment long ago and wouldn't have had so much nonsense to say.
The others felt the same way. Hearing Chen Xuan agree to their withdrawal, they were immediately overjoyed. If they could truly withdraw, they would do so immediately. They did not want to become sacrifices in the game between the Su family in the provincial capital and the Su family in the capital.
"Certainly, you can withdraw your investment now. I guarantee I won't stop you!"
Chen Xuan said calmly.
Su Yunxi's eyes widened, not understanding why Chen Xuan would say such a thing. She quickly reminded him, "Chen Xuan, if they withdraw their investment, we can at most last for seven days..."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter, just watch me."
Su Yunxi wanted to say something more, but she held back. She also wanted to see what Chen Xuan was up to.
"Ms. Su, since Mr. Chen has said so, then I will prepare to withdraw my investment. If possible, I will have someone draft the contract now."
Sun Ziqiang spoke first.
The others also indicated that they would go and draft the withdrawal contracts.
Chen Xuan still wore a faint smile, "Withdraw your investment immediately. After you withdraw, our lithography machine can be listed. At that time, our Su family will hold all the shares, and you will have nothing to do with it."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ziqiang and the others' faces changed completely.
To be honest, they were all very optimistic about the lithography machine.
After all, this was a blank spot in China's technology, otherwise, they would not have persevered for so long, nor would they have invested so much capital into the lithography machine. If they withdrew their investment, and the lithography machine was suddenly developed, they would become a huge joke.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. What does he know? Didn't Miss Su just say it would take another month to overcome the difficulties? Is it that easy?" Someone who reacted quickly said coldly.
Sun Ziqiang and the others blinked, almost fooled by this guy. It was clear that they also thought Chen Xuan was bluffing.
"If you don't believe me, then fine. Go and draft your withdrawal contracts quickly, as if I never said anything."
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Anyway, I estimate..."
As he said this, Chen Xuan stopped and asked Su Yunxi, "How many more days can we last with the current funds?"
"Seven days!"
"Within seven days, we will definitely succeed in the research!"
Hearing this, many people's hearts stirred, and many showed some anticipation. If they succeeded in the research in seven days, then their previous investments would not be in vain.
But Sun Liqiang did not believe him and said dismissively, "Don't lie to us. How can the problem be solved in seven days?"
"Don't believe me? How about you wait another seven days, and after seven days, we will see the outcome?" Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
