Chapter 2236 Mystery

Zhao Shucheng looked at those people, smiled, looked at Fu Chun, and said, "In fact, Huachang is in today's predicament because it encountered insufficient funds during its own development and had to seek foreign debt assistance."

"The past few years were the golden period of Huachang's development, so we borrowed so much money. You are also willing to lend money to Huachang's President Fu because you are optimistic about Huachang."

"But the borrowed money must be repaid. Huachang happened to be in Hai City and encountered the 93 crisis. Eventually, the real estate development fell into trouble. In addition, Huachang was defrauded of million yuan by someone inside and outside, which plunged Huachang into a debt crisis. If it weren't for the million yuan deficit, I don't think Huachang would have reached its current state."

Seeing those people looking a little anxious, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I'm not saying this to excuse Mr. Fu, but to show that Huachang itself doesn't have too many problems. As long as the subsequent corporate management system is improved to prevent such a situation from happening again, I think there will be no problem with the company's operating profit."

"Of course, simply turning a loss into a profit is not enough. After all, if the debt-to-equity swap is successfully realized, all of us will be shareholders of Huachang. At that time, what we want is definitely not a few million dividends a year, nor the small amount of profit of the company."

"A few years ago, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets officially opened, and companies could seek to be listed on the stock market to raise funds for development. However, we are located in Shanghai, and if we want to be listed on the stock market, we need to have outstanding performance. Huachang currently has internal debts and business reasons, so it does not meet such needs."

  Having said that, Zhao Shucheng looked at the people who were thinking about something, and continued:

"But if Huachang converts debt into equity, the company itself will have a market value of 1 billion, and the province's tallest Huachang Building is currently under construction. This is all very good news. If Huachang can successfully go public, it can raise a large amount of funds, which will allow Huachang to have more funds for development."

One of them stood up and said, "But after all, what you are talking about is Huachang's business. What does it have to do with us?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course it matters. You will all be shareholders of Huachang by then. The stock price after Huachang goes public will definitely not be the current price. The stock price will soar if there is any good news. Although we hold original shares, in principle we are not allowed to trade them within two years. But after two years, if Huachang's operations do not incur losses, the stock price will only rise and not fall. It will not be a problem for it to double or even triple in the future."

"At that time, the original debts in your hands will not only be able to repay the principal and interest, but also bring profits. I think this is good news for you CEOs. Of course, if there are different opinions within your company, I can personally purchase all of these debts, and let the villagers of our Xiaolei family enjoy the benefits and make a fortune. Stock trading is a reasonable and legal income, right?"

Some people were ready to raise objections, but were stopped by the people around them. Some people still wanted to get the money and hope to get cash instead of some illusory shares. However, before Fu Chun asked him to settle the debt with Sun Feifei, he was pulled aside by other CEOs, who seemed to want to buy out his debt.

A CEO asked curiously, "Boss Sun, your company's current situation is not very good. You probably don't have much money to spend, right? Do you have any spare money to buy these debts?"

Mr. Sun smiled and said, "The company's situation is indeed not very good, but I still have some savings, and my family also has some money, so I plan to buy it myself. I saw many people getting rich by speculating in stocks some time ago, so I want to try it myself."

Many people who were originally planning to sell their claims, seeing that others were eyeing them covetously, suddenly felt that selling their claims might not be a good idea. Some even planned to sell off their belongings and directly buy out the company and Huachang’s claims, while keeping the shares in their own hands.

Fu Chun saw that everyone agreed to the debt-for-equity swap, which was something he had never thought of. Moreover, he had never thought about going public, and he was even less sure whether Huachang could really go public.

Zhao Shucheng told the other party that all this was within his plan. As long as Huachang's debt-to-equity conversion was successful and the Huachang Building was completed, that would be the day Huachang would seek to go public.

Huachang Company's debt-for-equity swap went smoothly, and all creditors signed the contract in person on the same day. Zhao Shucheng specially invited TV stations and newspaper reporters from Hai City to report on this matter, so that the public would regain confidence in Huachang.

Ma Xiaotian didn't expect that after doing so much, the final result would be like this. Naturally, he was unwilling to fail like this, so he hoped that his old friend Mr. Lin could stop this matter.

For some unknown reason, Mr. Lin specifically mentioned the Huachang debt-to-equity swap when he met Zhang Dapeng. He believed that it was an act of embezzlement of assets, evasion of due responsibilities, and even disruption of the economic order, and that things had to be put right.

Zhang Dapeng was a little embarrassed after hearing this. After all, if Huachang's debt-to-equity swap was really successful, Haishi could get rid of the burden and Huachang could create more profits for Haishi. Moreover, now that the government and enterprises are separated, they should not interfere too much in the normal operation of the enterprise.

However, he couldn't completely reject Mr. Lin's suggestions, so he made an appointment with Fu Chun to discuss the debt-to-equity swap.

Fu Chun didn't expect that when he was trying to find a way to get Huachang out of trouble, Zhang Dapeng not only did not support him, but also held him back.

He had a heated argument with Zhang Dapeng over this, and only later did he find out that it was the opinion of Mr. Lin from the capital.

Fu Chun was a little confused as to why Mr. Lin asked Zhang Dapeng to stop Huachang's debt-to-equity conversion. After all, this was Huachang Enterprise's own behavior and it was a self-rescue.

Zhao Shucheng also learned the news and shook his head. It seemed that Will's Ma Xiaotian had no other choice but to take such a measure.

Zhao Shucheng went straight to Fu Chun and told him his attitude towards debt-to-equity swaps, asking Fu Chun not to think too much about the problem. Now it is a market economy, and the government and enterprises are separated. Enterprises have enough autonomy and should stick to their own ideas to develop their businesses, instead of being controlled by others as before, or even tied up.

  If Zhang Dapeng and others are determined to prevent debt-to-equity swaps, then they will have to provide Huachang with loans to repay Huachang's debts. Otherwise, if they prevent the company from saving itself on the one hand and add insult to injury on the other, isn't this putting personal interests above public interest?

Sun Feifei also got the news and was a little puzzled, so she went directly to the guesthouse where Mr. Lin was staying and asked him why he did this.

Mr. Lin felt that Huachang was now a typical example, and Will's merger with Huachang might become a model for the whole country. That was why he felt that he should act according to the market rules, instead of allowing Fu Chun to use deceptive means to keep Huachang alive.

Sun Feifei felt that the other party was a little unreasonable. Why did the debt-to-equity swap mean a prolongation of life instead of Huachang embarking on a new journey?

The two had some arguments, but in the end, neither convinced the other. However, Sun Feifei also said that Huachang's current debt-to-equity swap operation was also carried out in accordance with market rules, and Mr. Lin and his team had no right to stop it, nor should they use administrative means to intervene. If Mr. Lin felt that Huachang must be merged, then she could find someone else to merge Huachang and offer much better conditions than the other party, but if it involved embezzlement of state-owned assets, then Mr. Lin would also bear the blame.

"If there are really many companies that want to merge with Huachang and offer a very high price, then we will also be happy to see it happen!"

Seeing that Mr. Lin was not interested, Sun Feifei turned around and left in anger.

When Zhao Shucheng was resting at home, he received a call from Sun Feifei, saying that she wanted to meet him.

Originally, Zhao Shucheng wanted Sun Feifei to come directly to Dai Jiaofeng, but Sun Feifei refused, saying that she did not want to talk at Xiaofeng's house, and asked Zhao Shucheng to come to the apartment she rented.

Zhao Shucheng drove to Sun Feifei's building. This was Zhao Shucheng's first time here, so he was somewhat curious.

When he arrived at Sun Feifei's door and knocked on it, he found Sun Feifei standing at the door in sexy pajamas, holding slippers in her hands, apparently wanting to change shoes for Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng said in a somewhat strange tone: "You are..."

"I'll call you Dongbao like Xiaofeng. I want to talk to you about something."

"What's going on? Why are you so serious? Are you planning to go abroad?"

"No, it's Huachang's business."

Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment and asked: "President Fu can just talk to me about Huachang's affairs, or is there any problem with Huachang now?"

"Many people do not want Huachang's debt-for-equity swap to succeed, and hope that Huachang will be merged and become a national model. So I want to know, if the debt-for-equity swap really doesn't work, or is even stopped, will you merge Huachang?"

Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "How do you know so clearly? Fu Chun probably doesn't know yet, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be you who came to talk to me, but he who came to me to seek cooperation."

"I have my own information channels. I just want to know what you think." Sun Feifei looked away somewhat unnaturally, as if she didn't want Zhao Shucheng to know anything.

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, Huachang's current difficulty is those debts, but as long as the debt problem is solved, then both the 80 acres of land in the city center and the Huachang Building are very high-quality assets. If Huachang can really be merged, I will certainly not refuse, but this is a bit too cruel for Fu Chun. I have always felt that Fu Chun has played a big role in the development of Huachang. If it weren't for being forced, Huachang would not have reached its current point, and it could even develop better."

Sun Feifei nodded and said, "I feel relieved when you say that. If Huachang is really going to be merged, I hope it will be you, not someone else."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It may not really come to this. After all, debt-to-equity swaps are not something that can be stopped just because someone says so. The reason why those company bosses agreed to it is because Huachang's debt-to-equity swap will be profitable. Even if others want to stop it, they must have a suitable reason, otherwise they will be a villain in vain."

Sun Feifei sighed and said, "I know this is the case, but they don't think so. They even hope that Huachang will be annexed immediately and become their own political achievement."

Sun Feifei leaned on Zhao Shucheng and said, "If Huachang is really merged by you, how are you going to arrange those employees?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "If such a day really comes, in principle, everyone will continue to be employed. I plan to let Fu Chun continue to serve as the chairman and general manager of Huachang. Of course, Huachang will be a company under the Xiaolei family. According to the rules and regulations of the Xiaolei family group, the management will enjoy the company's dividends. By then, Fu Chun will not be so financially embarrassed that he can't even take out hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"In fact, Fu Chun has put in a lot of effort to get to where he is today with Huachang, but he also failed to distinguish between public and private matters. Huachang's debts require Fu Chun to use his own funds to repay them, and he even advances the money himself, which is unreasonable in itself. Moreover, there is no compensation or interest in the later stage. This may be normal in a state-owned enterprise, but it is not normal in Xiao Lei's family, and it does not conform to the economic laws of the market."

"Huachang will be listed in the future. Without a merger, Fu Chun, as the chairman, may not give out many shares for employees to hold original shares. But if it is merged, I plan to give out 5% of the shares and let employees buy original shares, which can be regarded as a benefit for employees."

Sun Feifei was shocked and said: "Five percent, so much?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Five percent. According to Huachang's total share capital of 1 billion after the debt-to-equity swap, it is only 50 million. For Huachang's tens of thousands of employees, it is not a lot. Moreover, many employees may not meet the requirements or are unwilling to buy. In this way, there may be some shares left. At that time, these shares will be used as dividend shares for the company's management. According to the job positions, everyone only has the right to dividends, but cannot sell shares."

"Hearing what you said, I hope Huachang can really be acquired by you, so that we workers can also make a fortune."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and kissed Sun Feifei after hearing this, and said, "This little money is nothing to you. If you really want to be my woman, I can give you more. It was a coincidence before. If you regret it now, it's not too late. After all, everything with Huachang is a normal business behavior, not worth your efforts."

Sun Feifei smiled and said, "You don't think that I really sacrificed myself just for Huachang and Mr. Fu, do you? In fact, I also like you a little. You were very mysterious in my eyes before. During the time I was in contact with Xiaofeng, the more I heard her talk about you, the more mysterious you became in my eyes."
