There was silence in the conference room.
In addition to the directors, there are also department heads, all here.
But no one spoke.
Everyone's eyes were only focused on themselves, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone look at Huo Qi and Huo Boting.
Huo Qi sat there without moving.
On the other hand, Huo Zhongkang had just sat down and his buttocks were not even hot yet, so he stood up holding on to the armrests, looking confused: "What two billion?"
Whether he pays for it out of his own pocket or takes the blame and resigns, this is unacceptable to Huo Zhongkang.
The second room of the Huo family finally got a Huo Qi.
"It's a good time for you to be here, Secretary Xu, tell little Huo Dong." Huo Boting glanced at him and looked at Huo Qi with his calm eyes, "No matter what Mr. Huo chooses, little Huo Dong has the right to know. "
Huo Qi raised his eyes to meet Huo Boting's.
His eyes were clearly black and white, and the pupils were so dark that it was impossible to see inside. Facing Huo Boting's composure, which has been used to fight against each other for many years in the shopping mall, is like the confrontation between clear frost and thick fog.
Huo Qi pursed his thin lips and raised his hand towards Xu Mi, indicating that he could start.
Secretary Xu's machine-like voice sounded in the quiet conference room.
"The natural ecological living area project that combines natural ecology with the city in the west of the city cost 4 billion when the land was acquired. The preliminary construction has already started. However, half a month ago, the project was reported. The original geological report was falsified. After investigation, We have confirmed that the land in the west of the city is not sufficient to support a building of more than 10 floors, which means that this natural and ecological living area project is no longer tenable."
Secretary Xu looked at Huo Zhongkang, "Although Mr. Huo has proposed to transform this project into a natural ecological business district, this requires increased investment, and the return rate is much lower than that of a natural ecological living area."
"As the person in charge of the project, Mr. Huo committed a major dereliction of duty by not discovering the falsification of the geological report in the early stage. Although there were remedial measures later to prevent the company from continuing to lose money, the losses caused to the company in the early stage are irreparable and will be delayed in the later stage. It is managed by the Huo family, so Mr. Huo must be responsible for this matter."
After Secretary Xu finished speaking, the conference room became quiet again.
Huo Zhongkang actually didn't understand.
He didn't quite understand why Huo Qi was now asking Huo Qi to compensate 2 billion for a land worth 4 billion.
"Isn't this land still here? Since we can't build a natural ecological living area, it's not a big deal to build a business district. As long as we can build it, why should we pay compensation?"
"Because the return on investment is low." Huo Boting looked at his useless brother and explained to him in the simplest terms, "I could earn two billion originally, but now, I can only maintain capital or even lose money, so this has led to this People whose projects have gone from making money to not making money should make up for this part?”
To put it bluntly, Huo Qi is allowed to make up for this part of the money he should have earned.
If you can't make up for it, resign.
Huo Zhongkang was immediately annoyed, "Then this is not his fault alone. He may not be able to understand the geological report. This must be someone's instruction. Xiaoqi must have been framed."
He is now waiting for the second room to dominate the Huo family and take the entire Huo family into his hands.
Now if his eldest brother kicks his son out, wouldn't that mean he's back to the past?
Of course he is unwilling.
Seeing Huo Qi's cold expression, as if he was unwilling to defend himself, he was angry and anxious, and said to Huo Boting, "Brother, it's better to do this. Anyway, this matter hasn't been exposed yet, we can take this land sell away."
Huo Boting didn't speak, just looked at him.
Those steady eyes made him panic for a moment.
Secretary Xu on the side whispered, "Selling land now will send two signals to the outside world. First, the Huo family has financial problems and needs to sell land to maintain it. The outside world will definitely lower the price desperately, and this land may lose money. Second Come on, some people will speculate whether there is something wrong with this land. After all, we bought it at a high price of 4 billion, and it has only been half a year. If someone finds out the geological report of this land, then this land will Maybe no one will want the discounted land, and our loss will be more than 2 billion."
Huo Zhongkang's face fell.
There were many people waiting in the conference room, all of them lowered their heads like quails and dared not speak.
Those senior executives are all under Huo Qi. If they really need to be held accountable, they have all been responsible for this matter.
Otherwise, they would not be allowed to attend this meeting.
Huo Boting put his hand on the solid wood desk, and his nails lightly clasped the tabletop, making a subtle "click" sound, but it seemed to hit the hearts of these people, making them tense up.
No one spoke.
That silent oppression instantly enveloped the entire conference room, weighing heavily on everyone's backs.
finally.
Huo Boting spoke.
"Xiaoqi."
He sighed, his breath still lingering with a bit of vicissitudes of life.
"Uncle is not making things difficult for you. Shi Qing is gone. You are the only male of the Huo family. The Huo family will eventually be handed over to you from now on."
Having said this, he looked at Huo Qi, "But you did make an oversight on this project. Because of your oversight, Huo is extremely passive now. This land cannot be left alone, but it will be occupied if it is moved. Huo's large amount of funds cannot be exchanged for returns, and will only drag Huo down bit by bit. You have stayed in Huo's for so long, you should understand that this matter is really fatal to Huo's hit."
"Brother..."
Huo Zhongkang was anxious. Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Qi nodded in agreement, "What the uncle said is that I will take the blame and resign."
Huo Zhongkang was confused.
He looked at Huo Qi in disbelief, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about? Don't be impulsive. This matter has not yet reached a point where there is no room for change. Don't talk crazy here!"
He couldn't let Huo Qi resign.
Everyone in the conference room had different expressions, but no one dared to speak at this time.
Secretary Xu looked at Huo Qi, his lips moved but he said nothing.
Huo Boting didn't speak either.
He just looked at Huo Qi and listened to Huo Zhongkang's whirring voice in his ears. He didn't refute or stop it, but was still waiting for Huo Qi's response.
Huo Qi was sitting there.
He was young, sharp-edged, and dressed in a straight suit. Even under such pressure from Huo Boting, his back was still straight, and there was no trace of panic on his clear face.
His eyebrows were still dark. He raised his eyes and met Huo Boting's eyes calmly. Feeling the pressure in the latter's eyes that almost made him fall to his knees, he was calm and calm, and his tone was indifferent.
"It was indeed my fault for not discovering the fraud in the other party's geological report. I should resign."
He stood up. He was 1.87 meters tall, tall and tall, like a pine tree that suddenly stood upright, but in the next second he bowed to everyone present.
"Huo Qi, you——"
"Little Huo Dong said so much," Huo Qi interrupted him coldly, "Are you going to pay the two billion for me?"
