Chapter 881 Chapter 882
"Mr. Mu, I still think it's best for us to maintain the status quo. We support Southern Investment Group's entry into the overseas energy market, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here."

Speaking of this, a senior executive of a bank who was speaking paused for a while, exchanged glances with colleagues on both sides, and then continued: "The acquisition mode of assets in Peanutton State, we feel that it can be replicated in Utah and California. On two projects, don’t you think so?”

After speaking, the senior manager of the bank stared intently at Mu Jiansheng with a gloomy face.

Originally, Mr. Mu did not expect to sign the acquisition agreement with Enron's asset manager team so quickly, mainly because the negotiations with the bank did not reach an agreement, but he did not expect that there would be a sudden news from the United States, urging them to Sign up as soon as possible, or change.

Now, although he has successfully acquired high-quality assets in Peanutton State, it has also brought the negotiations between the group and the bank into a disadvantageous situation. Even if he personally appeared today, it would have no effect.

In the previous transaction, they had been forced to use the cash reserved by the group company to pay for the asset premium. For the transaction of 37 billion yuan, these domestic banks only gave 28 billion yuan in loans, and the remaining 9 million yuan was all is the consumption of company reserve funds.

Yes, the bank only provides a 31% discount to the loan based on the fair value of assets of [-] billion yuan, and the remaining part is taken as risk exposure and needs to be borne by Southern Investment Group.

For the other two transactions that are about to be completed, the Southern Investment Group cannot afford to continue anyway.

The purpose of acquiring assets is to strengthen the company, not to drag down the company's cash flow.

After seeing off several bank executives, Mr. Mu's face was gloomy and he was in a very bad mood.

The wrong decision at the beginning caused them to suffer heavy losses on Enron stock, which not only triggered the bank's loan draw, but also directly caused the group company's cash shortage. Not only has it not been relieved, but it has become more and more serious.

Back in his office, Mr. Mu said to his secretary: "Go and inform Shao Qianwen to speed up the negotiation with Chaofan Investment on Jingtang Port, and besides"

After sitting back in the boss chair, Mr. Mu quickly assigned tasks to the secretary, and he lay down on the desk a little tired after the secretary left the office. The previous negotiations exhausted his energy, and he was really a little tired.

After a while, after recovering a bit, Mr. Mu sat upright again. He didn't want his subordinates to see his state just now.

Sitting down on a chair alone, he rearranged his thoughts, recalled the tasks assigned just now, and found no mistakes.

Now it is impossible to count on the bank to sort out the difficulties, and I still have to find a way to cash out by myself.

Jingtang Port was evaluated at the beginning. In fact, this project was not always impressive. Everyone had a good evaluation of this project at that time, and they were very optimistic about the future development prospects of Jingtang Port, although they did not dare to compare with Tianjing Port.

But at this time, he can only choose the strong man to cut off his wrist. Whoever allows the port to continue construction will need to invest a lot of money in the next few years.

For the Southern Investment Group in the past, these funds were nothing, but in the current environment, it is impossible not to make a project that requires a lot of funds in the later stage, no matter how good the project prospect is.

It's not that Mr. Mu didn't think about going home for alms and seeking financial support, but he had already tried it, and the result disappointed him.

My elder brother is too strict against himself, and he is not willing to continue to inject funds into the Southern Investment Group, and now Heung Kong Industrial is focusing on the reorganization of Global Telecom, and he is still discussing with Global Telecom's shareholders and creditors matters of reorganization.

When he had no excuses before, he would do everything possible to obstruct himself from obtaining family financial support, but now that he has a reason, he will not let it go.

It doesn't matter whether it sells some domestic assets, travels lightly, and enters the overseas market in an all-round way. As long as it sticks to projects with stable investment returns, the company will have no major problems.

And through overseas expansion, you can also contact more banks.

In the past, I had little contact with those overseas banks, and no one had any friendship, so when I first launched the acquisition of assets in the United States, I did not contact the banks in the United States.

This time, the domestic banks' attitude towards him and the company made Mr. Mu determined to continue to develop overseas business. When the time comes for new mergers and acquisitions, he will directly obtain loans from overseas banks, and he will no longer look at the faces of those bankers.

I help them make money, but in the end I still look at him, Mr. Mu has had enough.

Without Chen Fan's knowledge, the domestic bankers helped Chen Fan again invisibly.

After receiving the call from the headquarters, the contact between Shao Qianwen and Xie Kai became intensive.

Shao Qianwen reported to the headquarters in time after testing Chaofan Investment's acquisition intention before, but to be honest, Shao Qianwen disapproved of the sale of the Jingtang Lianggang project.

Before selling to Chaofan to invest in a large number of small and medium-sized public utility companies, although Shao Qianwen felt a little pity, she didn't take it too seriously. After all, the development prospects of these companies are just like that, and the income is stable, but it is still very difficult to rise quickly. .

However, Shao Qianwen is very optimistic about the two ports of Jingtang, and the most important thing is that there are not many projects in the Imperial Capital Branch to supervise, and Jingtang Port is the remaining project with the largest investment.

Several other venture-capital projects, although promising at the moment, have not developed yet, and the company does not control them, they are just investments.

Shao Qianwen was even thinking about whether after selling Jingtang Port and Caofeidian Port, the so-called Imperial Capital Branch might be revoked, because the Imperial Capital Branch would have no business to do here.

Shao Qianwen actually knows a lot about the current difficulties facing the headquarters. After all, she has worked at the headquarters for a long time, and she does a good job in dealing with people and things. So even though she is working in the imperial capital, she is still very well informed about the news from the headquarters.

For Jingtang Port, Shao Qianwen actually spent a lot of effort on it. Inside the Southern Investment Group, in fact, the combination of Jingtang Port and Caofeidian Port has long been called Jingtang Port, and the accumulated funds invested by the group company have reached nearly 13 billion yuan, it can be said to be the largest investment project around the imperial capital.

But I didn't expect that such a project would be traded out of my hands in just a few years.

Xie Kai quickly noticed the subtle changes in Shao Qianwen's side. Although the changes were only two days old, the two people who might not have met once in the past two days have met three times in this short period of time. At the last meeting, Shao Qianwen had already proposed that formal talks could be started.

"Mr. Chen, I think the Southern Group seems to be eager to get rid of the Jingtang Port project. Now that they have asked for a comprehensive negotiation, I still need you to set the tone."

Sitting opposite each other in Chen Fan's office, Xie Kai reported on his contact with Shao Qianwen in recent days.

"I remember you gave an estimate of 13 to 15 billion, right?"

Chen Fan slightly recalled the previous information about Jingtang Port and Caofeidian Port and asked aloud.

"Yes, during these few contacts, Shao Qianwen still hasn't let go, and still insists on a sale price of 19 billion yuan, but judging from their performance, they can definitely be negotiated."

Xie Kai nodded and said.

"15 billion, 15 billion is our limit price. In addition, after the negotiation, our people will definitely have in-depth contact. During the process, we will continue to investigate and evaluate to see if this figure is reliable."

Speaking of this, Chen Fan thought for a while before saying: "The main thing is for you to talk and report the figures to me at the end."

In the next few days, Chen Fan would go to the resort from time to time to check the collection of chips. He would spend more time in the Imperial City, and spend more time going to Chaofan Investment Headquarters. After all, it was a bit close, so he walked there That's less than 10 minutes away.

During these days, Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya, apart from completing their work arrangements, also continued to learn about the big real estates in the imperial capital, especially those newly opened real estates, which became the places they patronized.

Originally, according to Chen Fan's intention, he should find a relatively secluded and private community to live in, so that it would be convenient for him to enter and exit.

However, after discussing, the two women felt that even if they found such a community, they might only escape the paparazzi's pursuit for a short time, and they would still be discovered after a long time.

So after their discussion, they decided on the strategy of the Three Caves of the Rabbit. On the surface, they prepared a residence and lived there most of the time, not afraid of the paparazzi secretly taking pictures, and they prepared another house with better privacy for their private trysts.

Well, Chen Fan has no opinion on this, let them fix it.

With the experience of last time, the two girls naturally want to find a better house this time.

Over the past two years, they have deeply realized that Chen Fan's financial resources are strong, and the relationship behind him is also very strong.

Chaofan Investment is very rich, as far as they know, the investment in the film and television industry has already reached [-] million.

And this time, it was reported that Chaofan Investment will invest 5 million yuan in the new film directed by Zhang Yimou.

It is said that because Director Zhang has raised more than 1 million yuan in investment, some investors who were still vacillating before chose to take a gamble, and now the funds for the new film are almost fully funded.

Just two days ago, Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya went to director Zhang Yimou's studio to audition.

Judging from Director Zhang's attitude towards them and the news from his manager, Sister Guo, their roles are basically guaranteed.

Although it was rumored in the actor circle, Director Zhang's play might be a bit dangerous, because the capital may suffer losses due to the large investment, but what does this have to do with them?

They are just actors, they are paid to film, and they don't participate in the share of the film.

When they met with Director Zhang, they also heard a piece of news by accident. There will be a new building for sale near Chaoyang Park not far from here. This building will be fully enclosed and managed with good privacy.

The most important thing is that the residences in the community are all single-family villas, and they are blocked by mountains and rivers. They are very private. Director Zhang plans to transfer his studio there.

After hearing the news, Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya started to inquire about the real estate when they came back, and quickly confirmed the location.

Dongshan Yaju is located on the North Road of Dongsihuan North Road, Yangchao District, the imperial capital, the east bank of Chaoyang Park, and the CBD business district. Although it is a villa located in the core area of ​​the city, it has a beautiful environment. It is on the bank of a lake, and you can't feel the hustle and bustle of the city. .

This afternoon, the two women appeared here together, and they came to see the house.

The entire community covers an area of ​​1 million square meters, but only 155 villas are planned, which shows that the distance between the buildings here is very large and completely independent.

Moreover, the designer cleverly uses the original topography to arrange the residences. All the villas in the entire community are designed according to the environment where they are located, so they are all different.

There are mountains, waterfronts, woods and flowers in front of and behind the house, everything is there. As long as you can afford it, you can find your favorite home here.

It should be said that the developer of the community is very dedicated to this project, so when the sales lady took them into the community to see the model houses, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery in the community.

Originally, they planned to find a private house for dating, but after seeing the beautiful scenery here, they already wanted to make this place their own home.

Yes, after seeing the houses here, both Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu planned to make this their new home.

Anyway, the place where I live now is not far from here, and I will move in here with a high profile in the future.

Well, the current house has been converted into a private love nest, which looks good, anyway, it is very close to here.

Soon Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya looked at several representative properties of Dongshan Yaju. The floor area of ​​the houses here ranged from 4 square meters to more than 1 square meters, and they could only choose 4 to 6 square meters. Look at a villa of [-] square meters.

To be honest, in the process of chatting with the sales lady, they were frightened by the quotation she said.

The price of 9 square meters still shocked them when the housing prices in the imperial capital had begun to fall in the past six months.

The unit price of the townhouse that Chen Fan bought for Lin Qingyu at the beginning was only more than 4 yuan. Later, the price increased to break through 5 yuan, but it fell down quickly.

And now where they are located, in the current real estate market environment, it is almost twice as expensive as the surrounding real estate.

Of course, this housing price is worthy of the environment here, but the property fee of 10 yuan per square meter is indeed too scary.

"Sister Qingyu, I think these two houses are pretty good. There are hills and forests around them, and there is a small river between the two houses, and there is a stone bridge to pass through."

At this moment, they saw a place in the community. There are two villas facing each other by the river, and the area is quite suitable. They are both small villas close to 5 square meters. It costs almost 5 yuan, not counting the nanny aunts who need to be hired.

Although these two women have earned millions of income every year, it is obviously not enough to buy a house here, that is, they can afford to live here.

"It feels a little expensive. The two houses must be worth hundreds of millions."

Lin Qingyu hesitated a little.

"Determine these two sets first, and talk to Brother Fan later?"

Che Xiaoya is still a bit reluctant, and really likes the environment here. The villas are dotted among forests, rivers, lakes, and valleys with huge green areas and water surfaces. It is indeed a rare community in the imperial capital.
