My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup novel Chapter 2085

The meeting proceeded until the afternoon with caution and talk from Devon and the others.

They didn't dare to be perfunctory with Athena anymore but took out the whole method of dealing with Byron.

It was past three o'clock.

As Devon finished the last item, he was already somewhat getting exhausted.

"According to you guys, now more than half of the one hundred and ninety-seven people in your company will face layoff." Athena looked up at the crowd.

Devon's expression was awful.

It was why he had to be perfunctory with Athena in the beginning.

Devon was unwilling to fire any of these people in the company, especially those in technical jobs.

He couldn't bear to fire them either.

But the general environment was so bad at the moment.

The list of those who would be laid off, as Athena said, included a lot of middle-ranking personnel in the company, aged thirty-five or older, with their wives and children and the elderly, with a house loan and a car loan.

Even if the company would compensate them, getting another job with a decent salary at their age would be impossible.

Their future and prospects were incredibly uncertain.

However...

They couldn't save the company!

They had been fighting for six months and lost even more money at the end of the fight than they did before they didn't fight!

"Not only that, but your business direction must change completely if the company wants to go on. If you maintain the current set, Imbe Group will not allocate any more funds to invest in you next quarter." Athena paused momentarily, adding, "You are also facing a huge compensation for the failure of the betting agreement with Imbe Group."

"Miss Newton, we wouldn't have agreed to Imbe Group's acquisition if we knew you would launch a tool like Imbe AI these past few years!" Devon was about to cry.

"It was ten years ago that Imbe Group acquired you, while Imbe AI was a product launched only last year. In the past nine years, Imbe Group has been very good to you both in terms of financial and technical support. You guys have been nourished by Imbe Group for too long and get lazy in your minds. After the launch of Imbe AI, many technology companies relied on the module of Imbe AI to save their companies that were about to go bankrupt! Why would Imbe AI be the reason for your failure?" Athena asked loudly.

The conference room fell silent.

"To put it bluntly, Imbe Group is capital. And capital only values interests." Athena finished and stood up.

The rest of her surrounding people followed suit.
