Chapter 148
Needless to say, Bruce must be behind this too.
“If he wants me to die, there are too many despicable methods that he can use,” thought Joanna.
“How much stock do we have now?” she asked Luna.
“We only have enough for this quarter. We don’t have any supply for the next quarter, so we have to find a new supplier!” Luna answered.
“Okay, I understand!” said Joanna.
After saying that, she ended the call.
Jaydon asked concernedly, “Joann, what happened?”
Joanna sighed. “The Stark Group cut off the Haynes Group’s supply!”
“So what do you intend to do?” asked Jaydon.
“Now, we can only try to find a new source of goods as soon as possible!” Joanna said,
Joanna paused for a few seconds and sighed. “If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll call the president of CI Technologies again to see if there’s still a chance of us cooperating.”
Jaydon frowned when he heard that. “Actually, CI Technologies isn’t a good business partner. David isn’t a good person.”
Jaydon had heard that David had gotten a beating from Bruce before, so Jaydon could roughly guess what was the reason for Joanna’s sudden
predicament.
Joanna said, “I’ll just give it a try first! If it really doesn’t work, I’ll handle the research and development by myself!
“However, if I do this, the cost is too high. If I don’t succeed, I might really go bankrupt!”
Jaydon smiled and patted her shoulder gently. “It’s okay. Even if you go bankrupt, you still have me!
“Although I can’t help you much, at the very least, I can help you to raise funds.”
Although Jaydon could not provide her with connections in business, the Grimm family was still one of the top tycoons in Venturas.
He could take out his liquid funds at any time.
The next day.
This was Joanna’s fourth day in Porash.
In the four days that she was not in Greyport, the Haynes Group’s internal structure changed drastically.
Early in the morning, Joanna’s phone started vibrating.
Joanna answered the call. “Hello, Luna!”
Luna’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Miss Haynes, hurry up and return to Greyport!”
“What happened?” Joanna asked.
“Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul are throwing a tantrum. They want to fire the few research and development personnel you brought over from Melta!” Luna reported.
Joanna was shocked to hear that. “What’s the reason for that?”

Chapter 148
When Joanna joined the Haynes Group, she brought a group of staff with her. A few of them were research and development engineers who she had spent a lot of effort to poach over.
Luna reported, “Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul said that their salaries are too high for the company to support!
“They said that these personnel has been here for four to five months and hasn’t created any profit for the company!”
Upon hearing that, Joanna said, “All right, I understand!
“I’ll go back to Greyport this afternoon. Inform the board and management that there’ll be a meeting tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Miss Haynes,” said Luna.
Joanna had just hung up when the director of the finance department called again.
He reported, “Miss Haynes, the funds for the Porash’s factory has been cut off.
“We still need to pay over 2 million dollars for the new equipment. The supplier is about to ship the equipment. We have to transfer the money to our account quickly…”
“Got it,” Joanna said.
After Joanna hung up the phone, she had a headache. She felt like she was besieged on all sides.
The next day, Joanna rushed back to Greyport.
At eight in the morning.
Joanna rushed to the company.
At 20 minutes past eight, Roger, Paul, and the rest entered the conference room.
Joanna’s expression darkened. “I heard that you want to fire some research and development engineers, Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul?”
“That’s right! People who are just here to make up the numbers must be fired,” they demanded.
Joanna was so angry that her heart clenched in pain. She looked at the two of them with a dark expression. “I brought them back from Melta, so we can’t
fire them…”
Paul said, “Ha, that’s easy for you to say! The company pays them but they don’t do anything at all!
“They’re just lazing about
Roger also said bluntly, “You’re behaving so foolishly. If this continues, what will happen to the company?”
Paul chimed in, “He’s right. Such a high salary is enough to hire three to four people with the same ability!
“These people can’t stay in the company
any
Joanna took a deep breath and tried to convince the two of them. “They can’t leave. The benefits that research and development personnel can bring can’t be seen in the immediate future. It can only be
my unit to a paypaleen in the future…”
Paul sneered and said disdainfully, “What development
“Or are these people your cronies? Did you
I can there be? What benefits can they create for the company?
