Chapter 2215: Return to Hai City

After seeing Director Li leave, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The steel mill has indeed brought him considerable pressure, especially after the economic collapse of the island nation in 90. Although Zhao Shucheng has earned a lot of foreign exchange from it, most of it has been used to subsidize the steel mill's iron ore imports.

If this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, Zhao Shucheng himself will face great financial pressure, not to mention that the steel plant will need more iron ore after expanding production, which will naturally put him under greater pressure.

After Director Li left, Song Yunping looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and said, "Dongbao, why don't I understand what you are saying? Hasn't our Xiaolei Group's foreign exchange always been used by ourselves, and never provided to the steel plant?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Just say this here, don't spread it out. In fact, the foreign exchange for the steel plant has always been provided by my branch in Hong Kong, and they use RMB for settlement, and also transfer it to the company in Hong Kong. Most of this money is used by me to buy real estate in Pengcheng or other cities, or some antiques, or other products. Most of these things are stored in the basement of the villa in Beijing or Shanghai. You have the keys, you can go and take a look when the time comes."

"I've seen the accounts of the steel mill at the Leijia Group. The annual iron ore cost is several million US dollars, which is tens of millions of RMB. How many houses and antiques can be bought with so much money?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not all of it was used to buy houses and antiques. I also invested some of it in the stock market."

Song Yunping's eyes lit up and she said, "Are you talking about the hottest stock market right now?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded. Actually, there wasn't much to say about the stock market in 92. Zhao Shucheng hadn't originally thought of entering it to make money, but Zhao Shucheng himself had too much cash and the bank was under a lot of pressure, so they recommended Zhao Shucheng to invest.

So Zhao Shucheng simply used all the remaining funds to buy stocks, and didn't care too much about the rise and fall. After all, two thousand years ago, most of these stocks had good returns.

Of course, these tasks were assigned to Dai Jiaofeng by Zhao Shucheng, so he didn't know that he had become a major shareholder of Shenzhen Science and Technology without realizing it. In the future, when Wang Shijie encountered challenges, he could even help him gain a firm foothold by just extending a hand.

However, by June, the steel market was booming, and Director Li called Zhao Shucheng specifically about this matter and announced that the steel plant was making a lot of profits.

With the release of a cabinet document, money house credit has tightened, which is not so friendly to some people.

After all, many companies in Qiong Province are not really developing real estate, but mostly speculating on funds. The land auction is done by one company, the construction is done by another company, and the start of construction is done by yet another company. The company changes hands every time a floor is built or before it is even finished.

Before the document was issued, housing prices were rising day by day. But with the release of the document, people’s enthusiasm was dampened, and those who took out loans to speculate in real estate fled overnight, leaving behind only “half-finished” projects.

Haishi was naturally also affected. Zhao Shucheng discovered very early that there was not much construction demand in the local area, and the tightening of money supply by banks naturally affected Haishi as well.

Soon, the construction sites that were once everywhere gradually stopped working. From the bustling scene at the beginning of the year, there are only a dozen or so still operating now. Most of the companies have long disappeared, and what remains is a field of knee-high weeds and erosion by wind and rain.

It was at this time that Shi Hongwei finally realized that something was wrong, and quickly called Zhao Shucheng to ask what to do next to avoid being trapped in the funds.

After all, the situation here is a bit dangerous now. If the house cannot be sold, the investment before and after will cause great economic losses to Xiao Lei's family. Not to mention that if the villagers of Xiao Lei's family know about it, they will peel off their skin.

Zhao Shucheng returned to Haishi under such circumstances and saw that Haishi no longer had the vitality he had in the previous few months. The Huachang Building, which Fu Chun had previously boasted about, was also covered with weeds because it was located by the sea and had a humid climate.

When passing by the office building that Huachang Company currently rents, I saw that the entrance of Huachang Company was surrounded by people.

After seeing Shi Hongwei, Zhao Shucheng said, "Are you stupid? Is our project the same as others? We are building a high-end residential area, even the first urban complex in the country. There will definitely be no shortage of buyers in the future, so the project will continue."

Shi Hongwei looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Brother Dongbao, this is all my fault. Otherwise, you can find someone else to do it. I will resign and let a contractor do it."

"You back off when there's a little pressure. Do you look like someone who has worked with me all the way from the Lei family? Besides, we won't lose money here, we'll just make a small profit. By the way, you can negotiate with the prefect. We're going to build a factory here in the future, and hopefully we can solve some of the workers' problems. By then, these workers can get high wages, and we'll also give them housing as welfare benefits, which can solve some of the sales problems. Of course, the main thing is to make the community more popular, so as to attract more people to live here."

"Brother Dongbao, your method..."

Shi Hongwei was extremely grateful. After all, he knew that this factory could be said to be Zhao Shucheng's own business, but in order to cover up for him, he directly moved the factory to Hai City.

Zhao Shucheng actually had his own considerations. He originally planned to build two factories, one in the south and one in the north, with Jinzhou in the middle to facilitate the transfer of goods from various places. He planned to build a factory in Pengcheng in the south, but he gave up after comprehensive consideration.

After all, the companies in Pengcheng are all light industries or even electronics industries, and there are not many food-related companies in my memory. Instead of this, Zhao Shucheng might as well build a factory directly in Haishi, use the convenience of sea transportation, transport to coastal cities, or explore overseas markets.

After discussing the next work with Shi Hongwei, Zhao Shucheng was worried, so he simply stayed here until the project was completed and the square opened.

Because Song Yunping was busy with the instant noodle factory in Jinzhou, Zhao Shucheng planned to let Dai Jiaofeng come to Hai City, on the one hand to reunite with them, and on the other hand to let her bring the accounting team to audit the financial issues of the real estate company.

But when Zhao Shucheng called Dai Jiaofeng, he unexpectedly learned that the other party had already arrived in Hai City.

"Xiao Feng, why did you come to Hai City? Are you here to see me?"

Dai Jiaofeng smiled and said on the phone: "Of course not. I just knew that your real estate company also has a project in Haishi. In addition, I saw Huachang pre-sale properties in the newspapers in Hong Kong, as well as the publicity here, so I used my own money to buy a pre-sale property from Huachang Company in Haishi. But now Huachang Building has not started construction, and the owners are a little worried, so I followed them to check the situation."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Well, don't follow them to watch the fun. I'm in the Lei Ting neighborhood now, come over!"

After the two met, they were attracted to each other. After a fight, Zhao Shucheng finally stopped and asked her why she came with the owners of Huachang. After asking, Zhao Shucheng found out that Dai Jiaofeng and those people at the gate of Huachang were all people who bought pre-sale houses, and she just followed them.

It is said that Huachang Company is insolvent and the construction of the tallest building advertised has been stopped, so the owners came to collect debts in the hope of recovering their losses.

But when Zhao Shucheng asked Dai Jiaofeng where she got the news and who told them about the problems in Huachang, Dai Jiaofeng couldn't answer. She even said that she only came with others because she missed Zhao Shucheng.

However, when Dai Jiaofeng said that there were also reporters following them, Zhao Shucheng immediately guessed that there must be a mastermind behind all this, and it was most likely Ma Xiaotian's trick.

His purpose was to put pressure on Huachang and even spread rumors to give people the impression that Haishi Huachang Company was on the verge of collapse, thereby cutting off Haishi Huachang Company's channels for raising funds.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shook his head. If Mr. Fu was not prepared, he would definitely be caught off guard and even difficult to deal with. This is actually a common problem in some companies nowadays. Under the previous management model, they were not sensitive to the competition in the market economy, and they never thought that the other party would use such a shady trick, so they could only deal with it.

Especially for companies like Huachang, Fu Chun was more likely to act on impulse, thinking that even if they encountered some financial problems, Zhang Dapeng would not ignore them as he was his classmate, so he was fearless. However, he never thought that with the development of the market economy, they would need to raise funds for development, and no one would support them.

Fu Chun did not think the matter was serious, but he did not think that when encountered such rumors, they should quickly refute them in order to restore their reputation, rather than allowing the situation to develop in a bad direction.

Unfortunately, many companies do not have such sensitivity, and even think that it is not a big deal, so they encounter trust and funding issues, thus creating conditions for foreign investment acquisitions.

Zhao Shucheng was going to call President Fu to tell him what he knew and ask him to be on high alert, but he didn't expect that he couldn't get through to President Fu on the phone.

Just as Zhao Shucheng was about to go out, he saw heavy rain outside and water began to accumulate on the road.

Zhao Shucheng reacted all of a sudden. This seemed to be the plot at the beginning of the merger. It seemed that the plot had already begun, but he didn't know whether Mr. Fu was prepared to deal with these difficulties.

At this time, Mr. Fu was not in his own Huachang Group, but went to other companies to collect debts. When Huachang's capital chain was not tight, the five million owed by this company was not taken seriously at all, so he was not in a hurry to ask the other party to pay back the debt. But when Huachang really encountered difficulties, he had to come forward to collect the debt in person, hoping to get the money back so that Huachang could make some money.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fu's trip was in vain. He learned from the other company's general manager's secretary that Mr. Yao had gone to collect debts and would come back to Huachang to find him in the afternoon. However, he did not believe it at all and went straight into the general manager's office. He used the company's landline to call Mr. Yao's cell phone and waited for him to come out.

Although Mr. Yao couldn't get out, he didn't have the funds to settle Huachang's debts. He had to go to other companies to collect debts before he could have funds for Huachang.

This is actually a problem that many companies often encounter nowadays. The problem of triangular debts has spread, and companies are robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Mr. Fu was planning to wait for the other party's company to return the debt and give him the money, but he didn't expect to receive a phone call that Huachang Company was being chased by debt collectors and even a TV station came to interview him. He had no choice but to give up debt collection and rush back to the company.

Zhao Shucheng initially thought it was just a simple heavy rain, but when he turned on the TV, he realized that a typhoon was coming. He didn't care about being intimate with Dai Jiaofeng anymore, and hurried out to find Shi Hongwei, insisting on settling all the workers to avoid any casualties.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the completed Thunder Plaza and hotel. The office buildings had also been completed. Only the pedestrian street and apartment building had not been completed yet.

The hotel has even been renovated and the furniture has been moved in. They are just waiting to recruit workers and open for business.

However, Zhao Shucheng calculated that after the typhoon, if the construction was accelerated, it could be completed within two or three months. By then, it could be sold to the public, and even the commercial plaza and pedestrian street could be used to attract customers and open for business.

However, Zhao Shucheng knew that if he wanted to successfully rent out the commercial plaza and office building, he would also need a good advertisement.

Suddenly Zhao Shucheng thought of something and looked towards the Huachang Company headquarters not far away. He felt that this was actually a good opportunity.

So Zhao Shucheng drove directly to Huachang Company to see the actual situation and see if he could invite those Hong Kong home buyers and the TV station people to settle in the hotel and use them to promote Thunder Plaza.

Unfortunately, Huachang is now in a state of panic. After all, such an incident has happened and the entire company is very nervous. Even the local government department has sent people to solve the problem.

Although Zhao Shucheng was unable to enter, he also knew how they settled these people. The owners were all arranged by the government departments to stay in the city's guesthouse, and the reporters were temporarily taken to another place for a talk, hoping that they would not report false news without authorization.

Since he couldn't contact Mr. Fu for the time being, Zhao Shucheng was not in a hurry and went home directly. He would contact him when he was not so busy.

Mr. Fu was anxious to get back to the company at first, but he was stopped by the traffic police on the way because of his difficulty in passing the checkpoint. He was even asked by the city leader, who was his old classmate, to arrange typhoon prevention work, so he had no way to get back to the company in time.

After finishing his work, Mr. Fu returned to the company and prepared to discuss issues with Vice President Zhang, but found that he could not get in touch with him no matter what. He could only discuss work arrangements with Sun Feifei.

"Boss Fu, I feel something is fishy about this matter. It's fine for a client from Hong Kong to come and collect a debt, but why did the reporters from TD TV come along? And they came in such a large group, is there someone behind the scenes manipulating this?"

"Let alone say there is no such thing, even if someone is manipulating it, so what? Huachang is a banner of Hai City. Whoever wants to take down this banner will only shoot himself in the foot."

Sun Feifei disagreed and said, "The problem this time is not that simple. The day before yesterday, I heard from reporter Fan from the Economic Herald that someone wanted to expose Huachang's shortcomings. Now I think someone must want to make fun of Huachang. We have to be on guard!"
