Chapter 122 The Curse of Round C (5)
After 10:[-] in the morning, Xu Leshui appeared at the venue accompanied by the police.An official first made a big talk, which actually had three meanings: first, it is only natural to pay back debts; second, to protect rights in accordance with the law and collect debts in a civilized manner;

Immediately, a contractor stood up and complained that he was owed several million project funds by the steel mill.

"If you have something to say, don't swear!" Seeing that the contractor was agitated, the picket reminded in a rough voice.After the contractor sat down, several creditors spoke up, saying nothing more than that they were owed money by the steel mill and asked Xu Leshui to pay off the debt quickly.

The "Complaint Conference" lasted for more than an hour before Xu Leshui took the microphone over.He cleared his throat and said, "I have heard everyone's opinions. It is only natural to pay off debts. And our company does have some money in its account."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion in the hall. What's the matter, is it possible that Xu Leshui wants to pay back the money?Fang Yubin smiled inwardly, and nodded towards Xu Leshui who was opposite.Meeting with Xu Leshui last week, the two basically reached an agreement, and Fang Yubin also helped each other a lot.Judging from the opening remarks, Xu Leshui learned very quickly and had a good on-the-spot reaction.

Xu Leshui went on to say: "Today I brought all the company's account books. How much money is there in the account? More than 8000 million!" As soon as he finished saying this, people cheered immediately in the audience. Dare the steel factory still have money!But some people frowned, 8000 million is a lot, but they owe more debts, and it is not enough to pay off the debts.

"8000 million is just cash, and we still have real estate." Xu Leshui continued, "The land, machinery and equipment, and office buildings of the steel factory can all be sold. I asked a professional evaluation agency to calculate. These assets are added together. At least It's worth 5 million."

"Then what are you talking about, pay back the money!" Someone shouted.

Xu Leshui waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Just now I revealed my family background, but do you know how much the company's foreign debt is?"

The creditors shook their heads.The creditors all know how much the steel mill owes them, but there has never been an authoritative figure on how much foreign debt they owe.

Xu Leshui said: "I won't talk about the specific figures. I would like to ask the comrades in the Public Security Bureau to tell me. Some time ago, creditors blocked the factory gate, blocked my office, and finally blocked the government. The government sent people to the company to collect all the debts. Checked the debt. They have the exact number there."

A uniformed police officer said: "After careful investigation, we have already got the preliminary results. The various debts of the company add up to a total of 14 billion."

The venue exploded. People had long known that the steel mill owed a huge amount of debt, but it was really unexpected that it was such an astronomical figure.

Xu Leshui said with a serious face: "This is the status quo of the company, and I have nothing to hide. If everyone decides to let the company go bankrupt and sell assets to pay off debts, I have nothing to say. But even so, I can only pay back a small half of the money to everyone. The debt is Obviously, all the assets of the company are added together, which is less than 6 million yuan, but the debt is 14 billion yuan. In the end, each creditor can only get a [-]% discount on the money he gets. "

"Isn't this a repudiation?" "Arrest Xu!" There were bursts of abuse in the venue.Some people were so emotional that they even wanted to grab Xu Leshui. Fortunately, the picket team took action and brought the situation under control.

Fang Yubin winked at Wu Buda, Wu Buda understood, stepped forward and took the microphone: "Everyone, listen to me."

Wu Buda first reported his family name: "My name is Wu Buda, and I'm the investment director of Xinglan Capital. Our company lent 1 million yuan to the steel mill before, but we haven't paid back a penny. 1 million yuan, that's not a small amount. I'm afraid that apart from the bank, we are the only ones who have been taken advantage of."

Wu Buda went on to say: "Just now Xu Leshui made a calculation, saying that after the sale of the assets, everyone will only get a [-]% discount on the money they get. But this account, he did not calculate it correctly!"

"Why not?" the others asked anxiously.

Wu Buda said: "Xu Leshui calculated a [-]% discount from assets to liabilities. The principle seems correct. A limited liability company bears limited liability. When the day of bankruptcy comes, all assets are used to pay off debts. How much can everyone share? How much. However, among all the debts, there is one that cannot be discounted."

Wu Buda went on to say: "They not only owe money to banks, investment companies, construction funds and material fees to upstream and downstream enterprises, but also tens of millions of wages to workers. There is a sequence of debt repayment. If you want to go bankrupt, you must pay your wages. Clear, and no discount."

"Yes." Someone around echoed.

Wu Buda also said: "The 8000 million cash in their account is estimated to be paid to the workers, and there is not much money left. Excluding this sum, I dare say that the money everyone receives will never be less than [-]% off."

Seeing that Wu Buda was right, everyone nodded and sighed.Wu Buda continued: "There are still those real estates that are estimated to be 5 million. Can they be sold at this price? We are all businessmen, and we know that there is a big difference between the estimated price and the actual price. At this time, we can sell the assets. Which buyer does not bargain hard? Besides, disposing of assets is a long-term process, not a matter of a day or two, and it is uncertain when the money will be obtained.”

Wu Buda finally said: "Anyway, as a creditor, I'm already mentally prepared. I really arrested Xu Leshui today and let the company go bankrupt. We can recover 1 million of our 2000 million yuan."

Wu Buda's words made everyone dejected, and after a while, someone said, "What do you mean?"

Wu Buda said: "What I mean is, don't let the company go bankrupt, give them some time."

"That won't work!" Someone shouted immediately, "Wen Yubiao is dead, what if we don't arrest Xu Leshui today and let him run away?"

After making a fuss for a while, Xu Leshui grabbed the microphone: "I am here today, and I am ready to resign myself to fate. You all decided to let the company go bankrupt, and I dare not object. If you want to arrest me, I will admit it. If everyone is willing to give I have a chance, and I am even more grateful to Dade."

There was another uproar around, Xu Leshui ignored it, and continued: "If I get out of the meeting today by chance, I can make three promises to everyone. First, work hard to get the company on the right track, and pay back everyone's debts as soon as possible." money; second, I handed over my ID card and passport, and never left Jiangzhou until I paid off my debts. Even if I was on a business trip to discuss business, I would send the vice president out and stay at home by myself; third, sincerely We invite you to send representatives to enter the company for supervision, and all assets of the company are not allowed to be sold and transferred during this period to prevent the transfer of assets.”

After making the three-point promise, Xu Leshui went on to say: "My mobile phone is available 24 hours a day. As long as anyone here calls me, I will be there on call, and I will not fight back when I am beaten or scolded. You have to send someone to eat and sleep. Follow me, I have no objection either. It's just that these people's wages have to be paid for by you, and now I really have no money in my pocket."

Xu Leshui said these promises to Fang Yubin at the beginning, and said it again in front of everyone today.Seeing the silence in the meeting place, Wu Buda said: "As one of the creditors, we suggest that we give him a little more time. Take a step back and say that even if the company cannot be saved, the real estate is still there. It is not much different if it is sold today or tomorrow. .If the company comes back to life, won’t we get back our money with interest? Of course, we need to discuss and decide what to do in the end.”

Everyone whispered and discussed countermeasures.Meeting someone like Xu Leshui who is sincere but serious about having no money is more difficult than meeting an old Lai who does not pay back his money.Gradually, the idea of ​​giving Xu Leshui some more time gained the upper hand.

Seeing that the meeting had been going on for several hours, the government representative said: "Everyone has said what they have to say, let's vote with a show of hands. I have to emphasize one point again, the decision is made by you, and you have to bear the consequences. You will regret it in the future." , don’t come to the government.”

Half an hour later, the meeting ended.Xu Leshui walked out of the venue, and was not escorted into the police car, but got back into his car.As the car drove onto the road, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Fang Yubin to thank him.

On the other end of the phone, Fang Yubin smiled wryly and said, "You don't have to thank me. Xinglan Capital didn't want to help anyone today, but just told the truth. Other creditors also felt that our words made sense, so they listened."

Fang Yubin asked again: "Tell me the truth, is there still a way to save the steel mill?"

"It's really hard to say, the situation is indeed not optimistic." Xu Leshui said, "However, the bankruptcy is declared today, and the matter is over. If the company is saved, there may be a glimmer of hope."

6 The most chilling and desolate
After 6 o'clock in the morning, the Nagqu plateau in northern Tibet is still dark and gloomy.Facing the severe cold of minus 3 degrees Celsius, Fang Yubin ate cold steamed buns and cold milk in a small roadside restaurant.Although the cold food made his stomach tighten, Fang Yubin persisted.On the plateau, hot water is scarce.We have to travel a long distance today, so we need to save on hot water.He just poured out a small cup of hot water and handed it to Jiang Ruobing.Jiang Ruobing smiled and said "thank you".

The morning light gradually swept across the earth, and three off-road vehicles roared on the road.In the early morning on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the mountains are so different.On one side is a hillside covered with thin hoarfrost, and on the other side is a golden loess slope.In just a split second, the originally gray sky became transparent, and then a little bit of blue slowly seeped out.Light blue, sapphire blue, dark blue, the sky on the plateau changes color gradually with the difference between the mountains.

The car was speeding, and those countless sacred mountains, holy lakes, Tianhe, as well as the magnificent Tashilhunpo Monastery and the magnificent Potala Palace were all left behind.

This self-driving trip on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was specially organized by Jiang Ruobing in order to reward the management of Yijia.She also invited Fang Yubin from Xinglan Capital to go with Wu Buda, and the group took three off-road vehicles.They chose the Sichuan-Tibet line to enter and the Qinghai-Tibet line to exit.

After a few days of trekking, they ended their journey on the Sichuan-Tibet line.Today, we will start from Nagqu, Tibet and travel more than 800 kilometers to Golmud, Qinghai.From Golmud to Xining, the provincial capital of Qinghai, it also belongs to the Qinghai-Tibet line in a broad sense, but that section of the road is almost full-speed.Therefore, from Nagqu to Golmud is regarded by many people as the last challenging journey.

The sky and the earth are the highest, and the sky is the farthest.Unlike the steep and beautiful Sichuan-Tibet line, most sections of the Qinghai-Tibet line are straight to the sky and have a very wide field of vision.However, the altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet line is higher, almost the whole journey is above 4000 meters above sea level, and many people will have stronger plateau reactions.

Not long after setting off, Wu Buda felt dizzy.Jiang Ruobing, who was operating the steering wheel in the driver's seat, said: "The medicine and oxygen bags are in the next car. There are only three people in that car, and the car is in better condition. How about you change it?"

Wu Buda agreed, "Okay."

Fang Yubin was worried about the health of his subordinates, so he said, "How about I also take that car and take care of you?"

Jiang Ruobing said, "If you go any further, the car will be full of five people. I'm not feeling well, so it's better to have a roomier seat."

Fang Yubin said: "Let the person in that car come over, wouldn't that be enough?"

Jiang Ruobing said: "It was agreed that our two bosses will drive domestic cars, and the Prado will be left to them. Why did you change your mind and have to drive them to this car for bumps?" The god car on the road, the other one is a domestic off-road car, and the condition of the car is inevitably inferior.Before departure, Jiang Ruobing announced that her subordinates had worked hard and left them with good cars. Fang Yubin also praised her for being a general.

"I forgot about this one." Fang Yubin laughed, "Well, Buda can go there alone."

After seeing off Wu Buda, Jiang Ruobing seemed to have a smile on his face, and the car drove faster.Fang Yubin reminded: "Don't forget the speed limit card. No matter how fast you drive, you have to stop and wait. Besides, although the Qinghai-Tibet line is straight, the roadbed sinks and there are big potholes everywhere. Be careful."

Jiang Ruobing said: "Believe in my skills, I won't take you into a pit. As for the speed limit card, I would rather go to the checkpoint and park the car on the side of the road and wait a little longer than dawdling on the road."

Issuing speed limit cards to cars is probably a major feature on Tibet roads.There are very few speed-measuring devices on Tibet’s highways, and the traffic police will set up checkpoints along some key road sections to monitor drivers’ speed by issuing speed limit cards.The traffic police usually fill out a note and hand it to the driver after checking the driver's license, driving license and the ID card of the fellow vehicle and making routine inquiries. This is the speed limit card.At the next checkpoint, the driver must show the speed limit card to the traffic police again. The traffic police will sign the time and the time to the next checkpoint after confirming that the vehicle is not speeding according to the distance between the two checkpoints and the driving time. , so "relay".

When driving in Tibet, you must keep the speed limit card firmly in mind.Occasionally the traffic police forget, you can't forget.A few days ago on the Sichuan-Tibet line, Fang Yubin drove past a checkpoint and forgot to ask the traffic police to sign and stamp it.As a result, at the next checkpoint, the traffic police asked him to go back and sign.If you lose the speed limit card, you have to be punished for speeding.

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is very straight. In order to prevent distraction, it is best to keep chatting with fellow drivers.Jiang Ruobing asked, "How's the Jiangzhou Iron and Steel Plant going? I heard that you helped Xu Le solve the siege not long ago."

Fang Yubin said: "It's not about resolving the siege, it's just telling the truth and analyzing the situation for all creditors."

Jiang Ruobing said: "That's right, if you want to talk about a rescue, you are also helping Yijia. The bad debt of 1 million was originally ours, and you took the initiative to take it."

Fang Yubin smiled and said, "I'm not out to be kind, but to let you go into battle lightly, hoping to make more money for me."

Fang Yubin took out a cigarette: "The scenery is so beautiful, it makes me drunk. Do you mind smoking a cigarette to relieve fatigue?"

Jiang Ruobing said, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about your lungs. This is a high-altitude area, and the air can't be breathed in, so you still smoke."

After Fang Yubin lit his cigarette, he waved the lighter and said, "I knew you wouldn't mind. You gave me this lighter."

Ordinary lighters will also have altitude sickness when they enter Tibet, and they often fail to burn. Later, Jiang Ruobing bought a high-altitude lighter for Fang Yubin.Fang Yubin put the lighter back into his pocket and said, "This is considered a gift, I have to go back and treasure it as a souvenir."

Jiang Ruobing smiled slightly: "Although the lighter is worthless, you have to remember my heart. Not everyone is so careful that they will find that your lighter has altitude sickness."

"Well, thank you." Fang Yubin said.

"It's okay." Jiang Ruobing cast a gentle gaze, "In my heart, you are different from other people."

Fang Yubin blushed slightly, and then changed the topic: "It's been a while since I passed Andong County, and I'm going to Tanggula Mountain Pass soon."

Jiang Ruobing nodded and said, "It should be in front."

Fang Yubin said: "The Tanggula Pass is the highest point of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Let's stop for a while and take some photos."

Tanggula Mountain Pass is very high in altitude, standing here, there is a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at once.The temperature at the mountain pass is very low, the puddles in the distance are covered with ice, and the hillside is covered with wisps of snow sporadically.There is a stone statue of a soldier here, which is not tall but very vivid. It is to commemorate the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army who gave their young lives to build the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.There are many colorful prayer flags hanging under the statue.Looking around, there are continuous mountains beyond continuous mountains, and there is no dividing line between mountains and mountains.

Fang Yubin and Jiang Ruobing were in good physical condition. They got out of the car to press the shutter and took a lot of photos.The colleagues in the other two cars didn't get out of the car at all because they were worried about altitude sickness. They just rolled down the windows, took a photo of the altitude monument, and drove away in a hurry.

Not long after passing the Tanggula Pass, we arrived at the border between Tibet and Qinghai.There is an archway here with the words "Welcome to Tibet again".Both of them were a little excited. Seeing this sign meant that they would no longer need an ID card to refuel, and they would no longer need to get a speed limit card.
