Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Of course, Kang Jichuan also understood the meaning of the bet agreement. If the perfume business failed, all of Kang Corporation's funds would have to be used to compensate Kang Junjie. Then, all their long efforts would be in vain!

He could not help but frown, and his tone became a little sharper. "Junjie, Kang Corporation can't fork out the funds now. If we sign a bet agreement and the business fails, it'll be a fatal blow to Kang Corporation. You can't take advantage of the situation! If you're willing to invest, I'll be very grateful to you, but I definitely won't sign a bet agreement!"

The atmosphere froze instantly. Kang Junjie still looked calm and smiled gently. "President Kang, actually, I don't have to invest in Kang Corporation."

This time, he did not call him 'Cousin' like before. It was obvious that he was deliberately clarifying their relationship. There were no familial relations in the business world, let alone cousins who had not contacted each other for a long time. Now, they were just business partners. They were all sitting together to talk to protect their own benefits.

Kang Junjie's long fingers tapped on the table as he said indifferently, "800 million is not a small sum. I can't be the only one taking this risk, right?"

The higher-ups knew very well that no one would invest in Kang Corporation in its current situation. Kang Junjie was willing to invest money because he and Kang Jichuan were cousins.

With Kang Junjie's business mind, he had many options if he wanted to invest. There were many profitable projects, so there was no need to spend his funds on Kang Corporation. Moreover, Kang Corporation was now plagued by negative news. Although Kang Jichuan kept saying that he would guarantee the popularity of the perfumes, the netizens were already boycotting the Kang family's products. If the perfumes could not be sold, Kang Junjie would not be able to get back his 800 million yuan!

Kang Junjie glanced at Kang Jichuan meaningfully and said gently, "Cousin, you also know that my investment projects have never failed. The 800 million yuan in my hands can be used to invest in many high-return and low-risk projects. Kang Corporation isn't a good choice.

"But on the account of our relationship…" Kang Junjie did not finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.

On the account that he and Kang Jichuan were cousins and he was related to the Kang family, he was willing to invest 800 million yuan. However, he was not a fool and would not let this money go to waste. Hence, he made a request. If Kang Jichuan did not agree, then this collaboration could only be canceled.

Kang Jichuan also understood what he meant, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and said, "Junjie, you… You're also a member of the Kang family. It's only right for you to invest in Kang Corporation. There's no need to sign a bet agreement. If Kang Corporation has money, we'll definitely give it to you. Why use these rules to restrain us?"

The moment that was said, everyone looked at Kang Jichuan.

Although they were all shareholders and higher-ups of Kang Corporation and should prioritize Kang Corporation's interests, they still did not agree with Kang Jichuan's words. When he first arrived at the company, he kept saying that Kang Junjie had nothing to do with the Kang family and should not dream of getting the Kang family's shares. Now that he knew that Kang Junjie wanted to invest, he used kinship to guilt trip him and asked him to pay for Kang Corporation. Kang Junjie had not taken a single cent from Kang Corporation, so what right did he have to pay for Kang Corporation?

"President Kang, I'm sorry. I'm a businessman," Kang Junjie said helplessly. "The company doesn't belong to me alone. If I casually fork out 800 million yuan to invest, I won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups of the company. If you find this request difficult to accept, then don't force yourself.

"I heard that Sister Qingzhi has won the perfume championship twice. She's very capable in perfumery. It seems that she'll definitely win the championship this time. Actually, I believe that you can succeed this time. It's just that there are too many rumors online now. I asked to sign a bet agreement just to reassure the higher-ups of the company," Kang Junjie said and sighed. "Since you're not confident in succeeding, then forget it."

Kang Junjie's words stunned Kang Jichuan.

That was right! Qingzhi's perfumes were so powerful, so she would definitely win the championship. As long as she won the championship, Kang Corporation's perfumes would sell well. At that time, all the crises would be resolved.

How could he not be confident in succeeding?

However, they lacked hundreds of millions of yuan. When the results of the perfume competition were out, they would immediately put the perfumes on the market. At that time, they would just give Kang Junjie dividends according to the agreement.
