Back then, Lin Qingxue had seen a small company offend a larger one, and with a few casual moves, the big company forced them to face a massive compensation claim, hundreds of times their annual revenue and total market value combined.
They could’ve sold themselves and still not afforded it.
Brother Hao could easily do the same. The amount Hualing would have to pay depended on how many zeros he decided to tack on with his pen.
Each extra zero wasn’t a simple problem for Xu Fei and the others to solve, and it could become an absolute bottomless pit.
If Xu Fei really planned to throw his money at it, he’d be playing right into their hands.
“Then what do you suggest, darling?”
Lin Qingxue appeared calm, but her mind was racing.
She suddenly recalled how Xu Fei, to save face, had lied about accepting a company gifted to him.
So Lin Qingxue made a snap decision and said,
“Darling! I have an idea, not sure if you’re up for it!”
“Of course I am. Whatever plan you have, I’m in!”
Lin Qingxue glanced at Hualing, who quickly nodded in support.
“Alright, no matter how high Brother Hao sets the compensation, we can agree to it, then immediately declare bankruptcy and seek bankruptcy protection.”
“Then we set up a new entertainment company right away and sign Hualing as our artist. That way, there’s no issue! The contract problem is solved!”
Xu Fei thought the plan was brilliant and nodded with a beaming smile.
“That’s genius, darling! This is absolutely perfect. There’s no way Brother Hao could see this coming!”
Hualing still seemed a bit confused, so Lin Qingxue quickly explained.
It was about using commercial rules to turn the worst outcome into something manageable.
Lin Qingxue knew Brother Hao, out of revenge, would demand an astronomical compensation. If Hualing couldn’t pay, the power would be in his hands, and he could do whatever he wanted.
So Lin Qingxue would have Hualing agree, but first transfer all her assets. Then, declare bankruptcy.
Once bankruptcy protection kicked in, no matter how high Brother Hao set the compensation, it would be limited to Hualing’s bank account balance.
If Hualing didn’t want to lose her money and assets, she could transfer them to Xu Fei and others’ names, then move them back after the storm passed.
Lin Qingxue, the youngest business genius, had found a way to crack this near-dead-end situation.
“I get it, Sister Xue. I’ll leave everything to you and follow your arrangements!”
Hualing was filled with hope, feeling that without Xu Fei and Lin Qingxue, she might’ve been at Brother Hao’s mercy.
Xu Fei and Lin Qingxue acted swiftly. Xu Fei first called Wang Qiang, briefly explaining the situation.
Wang Qiang immediately grasped the severity and despised toxic figures like Brother Hao in the business world, eager to take action against him.
“I understand, Mr. Xu. Don’t worry. I’ll send a professional team to you, plus an idle entertainment company for you to manage.”
“If you have any other needs, just let me know!”
Wang Qiang, a true business tycoon in the capital, mobilized resources at a terrifying speed.
