Chapter 427 Supply Chain
At three in the morning, the lights were still on at the Lin Group headquarters, the atmosphere tense and oppressive.
Lin Chuyue stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee that had gone cold, her eyes sharply fixed on the latest intelligence report in her hand—the Lin Group's supply chain was facing a sudden crisis, with several key suppliers simultaneously announcing a suspension of supply!
She took a slow breath, her fingertips tightening slightly, and she already had the answer in her heart.
"Wen Jingzhao has finally made his move."
Within a single day, three of Lin's Group's core suppliers across the country almost simultaneously announced that they would suspend their supply to Lin's Group due to reasons such as "raw material shortages" or "production line adjustments".
What appears to be a normal business change is actually a premeditated blockade!

Supply chain disruptions plunge Lin's family into crisis
Inside the conference room, all the senior executives were gathered, and the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.
Supply Chain Director Zhang Heng was sweating profusely and said in a low voice, "President Lin, we have investigated and found that the suppliers do have some problems, but these problems should not have led to a supply stoppage... We suspect that someone is putting pressure on us behind the scenes."
Marketing Director Li Ran echoed, "Moreover, the timing of their suspension of supply is too coincidental. It doesn't seem like a coincidence at all; it's more like an organized and targeted blockade."
Lin Chuyue calmly flipped through the documents in her hand and slowly asked, "What is our current inventory situation?"
CFO Fang Jingzhou said in a deep voice, "Currently, the raw material inventory of our core products can only last for less than two weeks. Once this period is exceeded, our production line will come to a standstill, which may even affect our entire market share."
Two weeks means that she has extremely limited time!
Lin Chuyue's gaze swept over everyone in the conference room, her eyes deep and unfathomable: "Among all the cooperating suppliers, is there any that can continue to supply goods?"
Zhang Heng sighed: "We have three backup suppliers, but their production capacity is limited and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production."
"Increase the procurement volume and get their full cooperation," Lin Chuyue instructed, then looked at Li Ran, "At the same time, the marketing department should do a good job in public relations to prevent the news from leaking, otherwise the stock price will be affected again."
Li Ran nodded: "Understood, I will handle it as soon as possible."

Behind-the-scenes manipulation: Wen Jingzhao's scheme
Meanwhile, Wen Jingzhao was in his private club, a confident smile on his face.
He looked at the report in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Lin Chuyue, the days ahead are probably going to be tough."
Standing to the side, Zheng Chuan, a trusted confidant, said respectfully, "Young Master, we have successfully taken control of 80% of the Lin Group's supply chain. Even if they try to make up for it with backup suppliers, it will only be a drop in the ocean."
Wen Jingzhao smiled, picked up his wine glass, and gently swirled it: "Not enough."
Zheng Chuan was taken aback: "What does Young Master mean?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Wen Jingzhao's eyes: "Let the news spread in the market, create panic, and force more suppliers to voluntarily withdraw from Lin's."
He slowly put down his wine glass, his tone nonchalant: "Not just the supply chain, but also their distributor channels. I want to put pressure on them as well. I want the Lin family to be thrown into complete chaos, leaving Lin Chuyue powerless to fight back."

Counterattack: Lin Chuyue's Strategy to Break the Stalemate
In the evening, another emergency meeting was held within the Lin Group.
Just as Lin Chuyue was preparing to activate the backup supplier plan, a breaking news story plunged the entire group into an even greater crisis—
The Lin Group's supply chain is in crisis, with core suppliers withdrawing entirely, potentially triggering a large-scale market crisis!
[Industry Analysis: Lin's supply chain issues may damage the company's credit and dampen investor confidence!]
[Several distributors have told our reporter that the Lin Group is experiencing serious supply problems recently, which may affect cooperative relationships!]
Lin Chuyue's face turned completely cold.
This is a precise attack on public opinion!
She quickly composed herself, her sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd: "Immediately contact the media to clarify, emphasizing that we have taken emergency measures and that it will not affect normal operations."
Li Ran nodded: "I've already made the arrangements."
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment and said coldly, "Also, when it comes to contacting overseas markets, we can't just passively take the hits—if domestic suppliers are bought off, then we should directly purchase from overseas."
"Overseas?" Zhang Heng was taken aback. "But that would increase logistics costs and delivery time..."
"We'd rather pay a higher cost than let the Lin family fall!" Lin Chuyue interrupted decisively, her voice icy.
Zhang Heng nodded quickly: "Understood, I'll contact overseas resources right away."

Hours later, Lin Chuyue personally called the supplier in the UK, hoping to find a solution through international channels.
However, just when she thought the situation had stabilized somewhat, Gu Yanchuan suddenly came to visit.

Gu Yanchuan's probing
"President Lin, the company seems to have encountered some trouble recently."
Gu Yanchuan, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, strode into the Lin Group's office, a hint of a half-smile in his eyes.
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly: "President Gu has taken the time today to come and see my company make a fool of itself?"
Gu Yanchuan smiled gently and said calmly, "President Lin has misunderstood. I came here today with good intentions."
"Goodwill?" Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, her tone indifferent. "I wonder what President Gu means by 'goodwill'?"
Gu Yanchuan slowly sat down, looking at her with deep eyes: "I can help you solve the supply chain problem."
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly.
“Of course, it’s not free,” Gu Yanchuan continued, a slight smile playing on his lips. “I can use the Gu family’s overseas resources to help the Lin family through this crisis, but on the condition that you hand over 15% of the Lin family’s shares.”
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, then she sneered: "President Gu certainly knows how to take advantage of people in distress."
"President Lin, the business world is like a battlefield." Gu Yanchuan's tone was calm, but there was a hint of danger in his eyes. "What I'm giving you is a way out."
Lin Chuyue stared sharply at him, her fingers tightening slightly. After a moment, she revealed a meaningful smile: "President Gu, do you know what your biggest mistake is?"
Gu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Lin Chuyue slowly stood up, placed her hands on the table, and leaned down to look at him: "You underestimate me."
She narrowed her eyes, her tone sharp: "This predicament is not enough to make me compromise."

Desperate Counterattack: Lin Chuyue's Secret Weapon
That night, an even bigger storm was brewing.
Just when the market widely believed that the Lin family was about to face dire straits, breaking news shocked the entire industry—
[Lin's Group announces partnership with top European suppliers, optimizing and upgrading its global supply chain!]
[Lin Group Makes a Major Move! Comprehensive Overseas Supply Chain Deployment May Usher in a New Landscape for the Domestic Market!]
International capital injection into Lin's Group boosts market confidence and drives a strong stock price rebound!
Within just a few hours, the Lin Group's stock price soared, and market confidence instantly rebounded!
Wen Jingzhao and Gu Yanchuan were both shocked by this sudden change.
Wen Jingzhao's face turned ashen as he smashed the wine glass: "Lin Chuyue, you actually had this trick up your sleeve?"
Gu Yanchuan smiled slightly, his gaze meaningful: "Lin Chuyue... is indeed interesting."
This battle of capital has only just begun!
