Chapter 26
Chapter 26 — At the end of the week when I was fired, I made the 3.9 billion contract into waste paper
The content is not long. But the writing is very clever. Don't directly say I have a problem. Just saying that recently there was a dispute in the industry related to a former Hoa Nhac employee, asking Minh Khai to provide more compliance explanations. Before there was a clear conclusion, Hang Te temporarily postponed the cooperation process. After reading it, I asked:
“Who is the sender?”
“Vice President Hang Te, Wu Jiacheng.”
Luong Tinh replied.
“Have you ever cooperated with Hoa Nhac?”
The meeting room was quiet for a few seconds. A project manager spoke up:
"Yes. Last year Hang Te made a bridge loan through Hoa Nhac."
I looked at Phuong Minh Vien.
“It means Hua Yue has a channel to influence them.”
Phuong Minh Vien nodded.
“The possibility is very high.”
Duong Thuy frowned.
"Even if Hoa Nhac is responsible, the problem still exists. The other side is using your dispute as a reason to postpone. If we don't handle it well, this project will be late."
I looked at him.
“General Duong is right.”
He seemed surprised that I didn't object. I continue:
“But if I just send an explanation that I have no problem, Hang Te can still continue to drag on.”
Chu Man asked:
“So what do you want to do?”
“I want to change my focus.”
I opened the computer and projected Hang Te's email on the screen.
“Now Hang Te says they are concerned about Minh Khai's compliance risks.”
"Then we don't need to rush to explain my innocence."
“Let's ask Hang Te in return.”
“What basis do they have to believe that Minh Khai is at risk of compliance?”
The meeting room immediately became quiet. I continue:
“If it's from a rumor, ask them to provide the source of the information.”
“If it is from documents, ask them to provide documents.”
“If it is from a third party, ask them to confirm whether that third party has a related interest or not.”
Luong Tinh immediately understood what I meant.
“She wanted to force them to either side with the truth or side with the rumors.”
I look at everyone.
"Hang Te doesn't really want to withdraw from the project. If they wanted to withdraw, they would have sent a notice to end negotiations, not postpone it."
“They are just under pressure from somewhere, and at the same time trying to see Minh Khai's attitude.”
Duong Thuy asked:
“What if we are too stubborn and they really withdraw?”
“So it proves they are not the right partner.”
I answered very calmly.
"The health fund is a long-term project. A partner temporarily postpones cooperation because of a few unconfirmed rumors. Later, when faced with greater fluctuations, they will withdraw even faster."
“But if they are just wavering, Minh Khai cannot show remorse.”
In the meeting room, no one spoke. I looked at Phuong Minh Vien.
“General Phuong, the decision lies with you.”
He looked at me.
“Do you suggest sending an official response letter?”
“Not only that.”
I open a new document.
“First, Minh Khai sent a letter asking Hang Te to clarify the grounds for the postponement.”
“Second, attach the conclusion of Jiangcheng Financial Association about not considering my eligibility to practice.”
“Third, attach Hoa Nhac's official apology notice.”
“Fourth, ask Hang Te to confirm whether the decision to postpone was influenced by Hoa Nhac or not.”
Chu Man nodded very slowly.
“This will make it difficult for Hang Te to continue being ambiguous.”
Duong Thuy still frowned.
“But what about public opinion in the industry?”
“Public opinion is not afraid of ambiguity.”
I looked at him.
"Public opinion is just afraid of evidence being put on the table."
Half an hour later. Official response letter sent. Beyond everyone's expectations People. After only forty minutes, Hang Te called back. The caller is not Ngo Gia Thanh. It's the president of Hang Te, Han Tu Minh. The call is on speakerphone. Han Tu Minh's voice was a bit tired.
“General Phuong, the matter of postponing cooperation is a misunderstanding within us.”
Phuong Minh Vien calmly asked:
“What misunderstanding?”
Han Tu Minh was silent for a few seconds.
“Ngo Gia Thanh received some unverified information from Hoa Nhac and handled it inappropriately.”
I looked at Luong Tinh. She immediately took notes. Phuong Minh Vien says:
“So what is Hang Te's official attitude?”
“Cooperation continues.”
Han Tu Minh spoke very quickly.
"At the same time, we will send a written explanation to Minh Khai today."
Duong Thuy let out a breath. But I don't relax. I spoke up:
“Chairman Han.”
The other end of the line paused slightly.
“Tham Nhuoc Ninh.”
The other side was silent. I continue:
“If Hang Te wants to continue to cooperate, I suggest adding a clause.”
“What terms?”
“During the cooperation process, any decision to postpone or materially change because of information provided by a third party must be accompanied by authentic documents.”
“Minh Khai cannot let the project progress be affected by words of not being responsible.”
Han Tu Minh was silent for a long time. Then answer: Call ended. The meeting room was quiet for a few seconds. Then Chu Man burst out laughing.
“Partner Tham, the first day you came to Minh Khai, you changed the terms of cooperation of a key project.”
Luong Tinh also smiled faintly.
“But correct it.”
Duong Thuy looked at me.
