Chapter 2219 Refuting Rumors

"Hongwei, please tell the CEOs of those companies that our Xiaolei family will not engage in any private lending. If they are really in financial difficulties, we can lend a hand, but only by buying them."

Shi Hongwei was shocked and said, "No, Brother Dongbao, what do you think? Given the current situation in Hai City, we are lucky to be able to complete our current project and even sell it."

Zhao Shucheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas."

"Although the real estate situation in Hai City is good, the geographical location here is very good, and the climate is also good. Although we may not be able to sell many houses, there are other ways to revitalize these assets."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the construction site outside the window and said, "But I won't reveal the specific strategy to you, lest it be leaked and affect the future layout. But Hong Wei..."

Zhao Shucheng turned around and looked at Shi Hongwei, saying, "These projects are not acquired casually, but must be strictly audited. For example, the project of Mr. Zhang you mentioned, their total investment in this project is only 60 million, and now your investment is only more than 10 million. We will clear his plate with 10 million and let him leave with a small loss, instead of treating us as a sucker. We only calculate the construction materials and labor costs of the project, and the original land transfer fee. Other things are not considered by us."

After hearing this, Shi Hongwei said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this too much?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Of course not. If we didn't take over, he would have to watch the company go bankrupt and be in debt. Now that it has been liquidated, although there is a small loss, he can still get out safely and even do some small business. This has saved him."

Originally, Shi Hongwei thought that such conditions would be difficult for those people. Unexpectedly, after he told others about it, more companies came to him and asked Xiao Lei's family to take over.

  This was beyond Shi Hongwei's expectation, and he felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, these were all unfinished projects, and if they took over all of them, it would be a big financial pressure for Xiao Lei's family. Moreover, Zhao Shucheng had said before that Xiao Lei's family was going to develop in other places. If they took over all these projects, wouldn't they be trapped here?

Faced with this situation, Shi Hongwei felt that he seemed to have made a mistake, and hurried to find Zhao Shucheng for help.

  Zhao Shucheng fell silent after hearing this. He didn't expect that even though he had offered such conditions, those companies would still be so enthusiastic. Could it be that there were some problems that he didn't know about?

"Hongwei, don't rush to do these things. Let someone find out the situation first to see if there are any problems we don't know about, so that we don't get bogged down in this mess!"

"Okay, Brother Dongbao, I'll go and check it out right away."

Dai Jiaofeng also knew the news and quickly found Zhao Shucheng and said, "Dongbao, you won't really agree to these people's request, right? It is said that half of the real estate companies in the city are preparing to transfer the projects to your Xiao Lei family. The financial pressure and project pressure are too great."

Zhao Shucheng frowned and asked, "How did you know the news?"

"I went to the press conference a few days ago and met some good sisters. They told me."

"Any other news? I don't think this matter is groundless. There must be someone fanning the flames."

Dai Jiaofeng was stunned for a moment and said, "I really don't know about this. How about I ask for you?"

"Well, go ask them. I also want to know who is harboring evil intentions. Don't let me know, or I will definitely make them suffer."

Will Company.

Li Wen was very surprised when he received a report from his subordinates that Mr. Liu, the company across the street with which he had been negotiating a similar deal, had given up on cooperating with Will Group and chosen Xiao Lei's instead.

"why?"

"It is said that Mr. Ma told Mr. Liu that Xiao Lei's family offered better treatment. He was worried that Mr. Liu would suffer a great loss, so he suggested that he go to Xiao Lei's family and give it a try."

When Li Wen heard what the secretary said, her face suddenly darkened and she asked the secretary to find Ma Xiaotian, saying that she wanted to meet him soon.

Ma Xiaotian came to Li Wen's office, looked at the gloomy Li Wen, and said with a smile: "My dear Mr. Li, why are you so angry?"

"I also want to ask you what you want to do? Do you know that I have already negotiated with Mr. Liu to acquire the other party's 80 million project for 20 million? What are you doing now?"

"Of course I am thinking about the company."

Li Wen said angrily: "Are you kidding me? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? Don't you just want to set a trap for Xiao Lei's family so as to retaliate against them for turning a blind eye to you?"

"Of course not, I..."

"Do you know that you are making enemies? If the Lei family knew that we were the ones fanning the flames behind the scenes, would they not hate us? If they interfere with our acquisition of Huachang, how will you explain this to the board of directors?"

"Don't worry, they won't notice. Even if they do, what can they do? We didn't do anything. We just let it slip by accident."

When Li Wen saw Ma Xiaotian's nonchalant attitude, she immediately doubted whether it was the right choice to cooperate with the other party to merge Huachang.

Ma Xiaotian looked at Li Wen and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, do you think too highly of the Lei family? I admit that many of their enterprises are indeed among the best in the country, but their annual output value is actually not much, it just looks impressive. For so many years, their foreign trade products have been maintained at a certain quantity and have not expanded, which means that they have reached the end of their development."

"As for the real estate companies, if they are really greedy and take on so many projects, they will definitely have problems with their funds. Maybe they will be making things difficult for us."

Li Wen said subconsciously: "But they still have a steel plant. Now that steel prices continue to rise, do you think they will lack funds?"

"So what even if there is no shortage? Can the real estate company fill such a big hole?" Ma Xiaotian said with disdain.

Li Wen was a little hesitant after hearing this. She only knew about the Lei family from newspaper reports, so she was not very clear about the specific situation. If it was really like what Ma Xiaotian said, it might not be a bad thing. At least she didn't have to worry about Zhao Shucheng suddenly jumping out when acquiring Huachang.

"I hope everything goes as you wish!"

Zhao Shucheng got the information from Shi Hongwei, and also learned from Dai Jiaofeng's sisters who was the one who fanned the flames.

Originally, he had only a slight liking for Fu Chun and just hoped to help Fu Chun a little in the merger of Huachang, but since Will Company had laid a hand on him, he had to teach the other party a profound lesson.

Shi Hongwei asked, "Chairman, they are doing something behind our backs. We can't just let it go. How about we talk to the higher-ups and ask for justice?" Zhao Shucheng waved his hand and said, "Of course we can't just let it go. But even if we talk to the higher-ups, they are foreign companies and we are in the stage of WTO accession negotiations. We can't bear the reputation of suppressing foreign companies."

Shi Hongwei was stunned when he heard this. He was no longer a young boy from Xiao Lei's family, and he also paid attention to some policy news. He had not thought of this before, and now that Zhao Shucheng reminded him, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If the conflict with the Will Group really affects the WTO negotiations, the Lei family will be sinners of the whole country. Not to mention the punishment they will face, even people's saliva will drown them.

"So you're just going to swallow your anger?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not. Since the other party has made a move, then he should be prepared to be beaten."

"But you just said they are a foreign company, so we can't use some of our tactics."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Since we can't have a direct conflict, we can use market economy methods to teach them a lesson. Okay, I know what's going on. Let's keep a record of this. There will always be a chance to get back at them. Just do your job well."

"Brother Dongbao, as long as you know what's going on, I'll leave first."

Shi Hongwei is very confident in Zhao Shucheng's ability. Since Zhao Shucheng said so, Will Company will definitely be badly dealt with by Zhao Shucheng.

Fu Chun was busy with the issue of enterprise reform and convened a special board meeting to discuss solutions to Huachang's current predicament, but most people were just complaining and grumbling without any feasible solutions.

And Vice President Zhang of their company got into trouble again. The clues of a homicide case pointed to a branch of Huachang Group, and Fu Chun was once again reported to have been arrested.

Li Wen and Ma Xiaotian didn't know that Zhao Shucheng already knew that they were behind the plot and was still planning to merge Huachang. With the reform of state-owned enterprises going on, they urgently needed to find out the trend of the new policy, so they planned to let Ma Xiaotian contact Mr. Lin from the Sports Commission, whom he had met in the Ugly Country.

Although the other party is from the Sports Commission, if he can come to Hai City, it will be a great help to Will Group. After all, he represents the higher-ups in a sense and can urge Hai City to implement new policies.

That day, Shi Hongwei hurried to Zhao Shucheng's office and said, "Brother Dongbao, Mr. Fu was arrested by the police. It is said that he has committed murder. What should we do? After all, Huachang still owes us tens of millions. It won't be impossible to get it back, right?"

"Is the news correct?"

"That's what they say."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Hongwei, don't believe everything you hear. Have you investigated the details of the incident? Have you asked the authorities?"

"No, but people outside say that Huachang's Fu Zong has been arrested."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Although I am not very familiar with Fu Chun, I know that he would not do such a thing. Moreover, even if he really has such an idea, is it necessary for him to show up in person? It's also because of his last name, Fu, which is similar to a deputy position. It's hard to tell the difference between Fu and vice president. But don't worry about the debt problem, there will definitely be a way to solve it in the future."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Shi Hongwei and said, "You, don't worry about these irrelevant things all day long. Go to the construction site more often, make sure the quality and quantity are guaranteed, and then quickly complete Thunder Plaza. As for the other acquired projects, let the old man and their workers slowly build them. After you finish your work, go to Pengcheng, Beijing, Magic City and other places immediately to expand new business."

"Okay, I will!"

Zhao Shucheng thought about it and directly dialed Fu Chun's number.

Fu Chun was calling the CEOs of those debt-ridden companies. When he saw Zhao Shucheng's call, he was stunned for a moment and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Lei."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Boss Fu, you are fine, why are there rumors that Boss Fu from Huachang has been arrested and has killed someone?"

"These are all rumors. I'm staying in the office peacefully."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Mr. Fu, we are now implementing a socialist market economy, not the planned economy of the past, nor the commodity economy, so enterprises need to be responsible for themselves. Then the reputation of the person in charge of an enterprise is very important to an enterprise. A good reputation of the person in charge can bring better development to the enterprise, and if the reputation of a person in charge is damaged, it will also make outsiders think that the reputation of the enterprise is not good. Since it doesn't concern you, it's better to dispel the rumor as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be a good thing for Huachang now."

Fu Chun was stunned when he heard this. He had never considered that his reputation would be linked to the reputation of the company before, so when the police came to him for questioning, he did not take it seriously.

But now hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, he suddenly felt that he should pay more attention to it. Especially when he thought about the development of Xiao Lei's family, it can be said that Zhao Shucheng played a key role, and it seemed that the greater Zhao Shucheng's reputation, the more well-known Xiao Lei's family was, and the better the company developed.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei, for reminding me. I will pay attention to this issue."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Feifei came to see him.

"Come, take a seat, and let's discuss this."

"In the past, our company was in good financial condition, and we lent out some money, but no one paid it back. Some people really had no money, but some people had money but refused to pay it back. Anyway, we are almost broke, so it's useless to save face. We took advantage of the fact that SDIC sued this matter, and we started to collect the debt. But now the grandfather owes the debt, and the grandson is the one collecting the debt. So I'm going to do something evil."

"What else can you do? You can't just kowtow to them and ask them to pay you back, right?"

Fu Chun smiled and said, "Of course not. I thought of asking the police to help me and you to lead the way to visit every household. Most of those bosses know me, so they will look for me based on their relationship, and maybe even go to the higher-ups. So I plan to go out and hide, and no one in the company knows about it except you."

"So how long do you plan to stay away, and when will you come back?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'm going to go back to my hometown. I haven't been there for several years. I miss the two old people at home."
