Half an hour later, I accepted an interview with reporters.
They were very careful in asking questions and showed great professionalism. “Mrs. Hua, thank you for accepting our interview at this time. There are many speculations about the deaths of Mrs. Feng and Mr. Hua. What is the real situation?”
“The police are investigating the case further. After there are results, the police will announce to the public. Thank you for your concern for Hua Group.” I answered indifferently.
“We have also noticed this time that Hua’s stock price has been falling. Do you think it is related to its own operating conditions, or is it because of the adverse news from Hua family? What kind of response and measures will Hua Group make in the face of the plunge in share price so as to ensure the interests of small and medium shareholders?”
I considered for a short while, “First of all, I need to correct that Hua’s stock price has not been falling as you said. As the largest shareholder of the Hua Group, now something has happened to Hua family and I think it is normal the stock price fluctuates. However, Hua’s stock price is still on the rise from a mid-to-long-term perspective. So there is no need to be too pessimistic about Hua Group. As for related measures, the company’s executives will give answers after discussions after the meeting.
“Mrs. Hua, everyone knows that since the accident of Mr. Yaohui Hua, the most capable and potential successor of course is Mr. Leon Hua, but then Mr. Hua suddenly retired, and then it is said that he is blind. What is the current situation of Mr. Hua? Will he come out again and take over the precarious Hua Group?”
“My husband did have some problems with his eyes, but he was not completely blind. He is currently undergoing active treatment. As for when he will recover, I cannot give a clear time now. Whether he’ll take over Hua Group or not after he recovers, which also requires a board meeting. But I want to let everyone rest assured that my husband is still here and Hua family has not collapsed. I hope we maintain confidence. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. the majority of shareholders of Hua Group have been supporting Hua Group for so many years, and have witnessed many difficulties in Hua Group. That we can develop so big and strong because we have an excellent and efficient team, rather than a certain person. So although Hua family is temporarily in difficulty, please everyone trust the our team and believe every employee who works hard at their positions now. Hua Group will not fall into decline, and there will be a good tomorrow.”
“After hearing what Mrs. Hua said, we also feel confident. Then when will Mr. Leon Hua return to Hai City?”
“I’m not sure for the time being. If there is news, I will notify you in time. I still have some things to deal with. Let’s stop here?”
The reporter didn’t bother me, and stopped the interview when they heard I wanted to end it.
“Mrs. Hua, we will broadcast this interview on TV, and we will edit it later, if you want to cut some part, you can mention it now, or we can send you samples after production.”
I waved my hand, “No, thank you for your attention to Hua Group. Since I said it, then I can take the corresponding responsibility.”
“Well, Mrs. Hua, I’m sorry for your loss. We also believe that Hua Group can revive.” The reporter said.
After talking with the reporter, I was relieved. I hadn’t spoken in front of the camera for a long time, worrying that I’ll not behave well and let down Leon.
Jiannan, wearing a mask, walked over and handed me a glass of water, “Nice, speak freely and frankly. You are really great.”
“Don’t make fun of you, let’s go up.”
I was interviewed in the lobby of the group headquarters. When I was about to go up, I was a little embarrassed. Because I had already resigned from Hua Group and there was no office here. So if I went up, I can only stay in the reception room.
And I just wanted to have a simple meeting with the executives to convey the directive of Leon, and I hope that everyone will continue to work and not be affected by the affairs of the Hua family.
But I didn’t have any position in Hua Group now. Why should I call shareholders to meet? Who would listen to me?
“Go, what are you doing here, don’t you want to go up? Why you stop?” Jiannan asked me.
“I don’t have an proper identity now. If I go up to the meeting, no one would listen to me, right?”
“What are you talking about? You are Leon’s wife, Mrs. Hua of Hua family. Now that there is no capable one in Hua family, you are an important representative of Hua family.”
I thought about it and found it made sense, but I was still a little worried.
“Don’t worry, Leon has transferred the shares under his name to you. Aside from the identity of Mrs. Hua, you are also a major shareholder of the group. As a major shareholder, it is normal to request a meeting. Let’s go. Wasn’t you so brave just now, why are you afraid now?”
Since Jiannan said so, I can only brace myself to go up.
The thing was beyond my expectation. I had just arrived at the company and some employees found me, and suddenly they surrounded me, “President Yao, you’re back! Mr Feng is gone, and Mr. Hua is gone. We don’t know what should we do next.”
The news of my return spread quickly to the headquarters, and several senior executives in the company came, and they took the initiative to hold an impromptu meeting. For these executives, of course, they did not want the group to plunge into trouble. Once the group went wrong, their high-paying jobs were gone.
In this way, the development of things went smoother than I expected. After half an hour, the meeting room was filled with many employees, all of whom were above the middle management level.
“Everyone knows that Hua family suffered some misfortunes. I came back today on behalf of Mr. Leon Hua. He asked me to tell you all that no matter what happened to Hua family, he hope everyone don’t stop work, and continue doing your job well. Although the Hua family is temporarily suffering, everything will be better, and Leon will definitely come back.”
“Where is Chairman Hua now? When can he come back? Now the group is in a mess, and we need someone who can preside over the overall situation, otherwise it will be very difficult for the group to have no leader.” Someone asked me.
Someone immediately echoed, “Yes, when will Chairman Hua come back? When he was there, the group has been maintained strong growth. After he left, many capable employees resigned, thinking that Hua Group has no potential for growth. Now Hua’s stock price is plunging sharply. If Chairman Hua doesn’t come back, I’m afraid we will have to leave.”
“Yes, there is no far-sighted leader leading us, so there is no direction at all that how we should go.” Many people said.
I signaled everyone to be calm, “Leon’s eyes are temporarily blind, and he is currently undergoing active treatment. He should be back soon.”
“Who is here, talking nonsense here?” At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and someone entered.
