Please make money.

"In the third year, I went on a trip with my bestie. The photos became more and more exquisite, with high-end restaurants, brand-name hotels, and luxury cosmetics. They said there was another candidate for a rich husband today."

"In the fourth year, I went to the sales department of a higher-priced property and started to choose my clients. This client only looked at the cheapest apartments today, and that client had ulterior motives and just wanted my contact information. My circle of friends has become a tree hole, full of hostility."

"In the fifth year, which is this year, there is no more hostility because she hasn't posted on WeChat Moments for a long time. Maybe she is busy with work."

After saying that, Alia lowered her head and continued to eat: "I didn't say there was anything wrong with her. It's just that every time I see her updates, I still think of the campus of that year, with flags flying, the sun shining, and the boring and long morning assembly. Her voice was a little nervous, but more of it was the pride of being able to stand in the front, and then she told me to be responsible for myself, responsible for my youth, and not to waste my youth... Well, it seems that there was also something like cherishing life. It's been a long time, I can't remember it clearly..."

Mr. Wang was silent for a few seconds, then forced a smile and said, "Miss Ai, what do you mean?"

"It's meaningless, I mean-socializing and stuff, it's meaningless to me."

She finished her bowl of rice and wiped her mouth: "Boss Wang, Boss Wang, maybe it's because I just debuted not long ago, everyone is not familiar with my style."

She reached out and shook hands with the other party again: "Let me introduce myself, the current chairman of the Ai Group, Alia."

Boss Wang shook hands with the other party again thoughtfully: "Nancheng Construction, Wang Ming."

"I heard that you have skills and are very dedicated. Man proposes, God disposes. The scales of history never tilt in anyone's favor. That is fate."

"..."

“But the human heart does.”

"..."

"Let's eat. Let's talk business after we're full, okay?"

"……it is good."

"Then eat first. Only when you are full and satisfied will you have the energy to talk."

"……it is good!"

……

……

"Let me tell you, there is a bumpkin in Qiushi Hall."

"what happened?"

"She might be a little girl from the countryside. She refused to eat all the delicacies on the table, and even ate shark fin with rice..."

"Pfft-"

"Okay, I'll stop talking. I'll go serve dessert. Sigh, anyone can pretend to be rich these days."

The young waiter said goodbye to his colleagues, went to the kitchen to push out the small food cart, forced a business smile, and opened the door of Qiushi Hall.

She seemed to have forgotten how she had previously rushed into the chaotic neon lights, anxiously like a little animal.

The door opened, and she saw... huh? What were they doing?

Mr. Wang pointed at the messy drawings with a slight blush on his face.

"In theory! I mean in theory, if you give us another 808 million, this technology can be implemented, and it will definitely not be worse than other international counterparts. The Institute has this technology. My old classmate has been working on basic communication equipment for half his life. We just need this sum of money!"

“Can’t you get so much money from a bank loan?”

"No, we can't get it. Theoretically, our land can be mortgaged, but that damn Liu Shouzheng - he's playing tricks on me! He said he would help us pay back the debt for the past two years when we pledged our equity, but now he tells me he has no money. We used the project under construction as collateral to get a bank loan, and we still owe 200 million yuan, but we invested all our previous cash in this technology. We're just one step away! Just one step away!"

Mr. Wang was about to cry as he spoke. Prime Minister Lei beside him raised his hand, patted him on the back, and also sighed.

He checked the finances of Nancheng Construction. It’s not that the other party has no money, but they lack liquidity.

On paper they still have tens of billions of dollars, but the problem is that they do not have enough funds for their own use.

The scale of Nancheng Construction comes from real estate construction, which has led to a block in the way their book currency is used.

To put it bluntly, after they put aside their real estate business, they simply do not have the strength to support such a large-scale investment in scientific and technological research and development.

How much does it cost to develop a technology that can compete in the future basic information and communication equipment in Tianhai City and even the country, from research and development to production?

Due to strict supervision of pre-sale funds, Nancheng Construction is unable to circulate the other part of the money on its books.

That money can only be used to pay for construction costs and loan principal and interest based on the existing project progress.

This is naturally good regulation - otherwise, would you be allowed to squander the money that should be used to build houses?

But for Nancheng Construction, this is their biggest weakness.

If it weren't for those debts that had to be repaid in batches, Nancheng Construction would have had no problems getting through the past two years.

But Liu Shouzheng stabbed them in the back and concentrated the originally reasonable debt maturity structure to the present.

This backstabbing caused Nancheng Construction to suddenly have to bear more than 40 billion yuan in short-term loans.

They have struggled hard to survive until now, but there is still a funding gap of 300 million yuan.

Nancheng Construction has thought of every possible means and has borrowed all that is necessary, but three hundred million is not three hundred yuan. Who is willing to gamble with his future?

Moreover, due to the funding gap problem, the company fell into a vicious circle. The cash-to-short-term debt ratio indicator directly triggered the three red lines, and financing was directly restricted.

He told Liu Shouzheng that in the future, Liu Shouzheng wanted the land and equipment for Nancheng construction, and also wanted them to develop the technology to the final level.

With no other options, Nancheng Construction could only take out this technology that had been kept in its closet and ask Mr. Chen to help them find a partner, or a buyer.

If it really doesn't work, just sell it... sell it...

They did bring the information, but Mr. Wang didn't think anyone would want to see it.

At least for the first drinking party, you have to make the customers feel comfortable first. Who wants to see the skills?

But Arya wanted to see—and not only did she see, she asked, earnestly.

After looking at this batch of technologies, Alia had a general idea in her mind, and then asked questions about the two million square meter real estate project.

"What are you going to do with your two million square meters of land?"

If two million square meters of commercial housing are to be equipped with green areas, at least three thousand acres of land will be needed.

"Actually, it's 3,000 acres." Mr. Wang said with a wry smile, "But we don't plan to finish it all at once. It will be divided into four phases, with each phase covering 500,000 square meters."

That's big enough, at least bigger than the Vatican.

Well, after it’s repaired, the number of people living there will probably be more than the population of the Vatican…

"Liu Shouzheng took a fancy to your land, so he took action." Prime Minister Lei reminded him: "The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure."

During the heyday of Nancheng's construction, it took seven years to acquire 56 plots of land, which were connected together to create the current large building area.

You should know that the annual planned construction area of ​​the entire Tianhai City is less than 10 million square meters, which has to be broken down into nearly 100 land transfer transactions.

If it had not been planned for a long time, how could Nancheng Construction have taken up one-fifth of Tianhai's entire planned construction area in a year?

The current average transaction floor price is 20,000 per square meter. With two million square meters, Nancheng Construction would not be able to make enough even if it sold all its pants.

If Alia wants to take over these lands, even if the premium is only 30%, it will cost more than billion.

Liu Shouzheng is very cunning. He wants to bring down Nancheng Construction. Apart from the fact that there are foreign buyers willing to pay a high price for Nancheng Construction's current technology, he also wants this piece of land.

Nancheng Construction, another partner, and Shouzheng Group jointly hold 100% of the equity of this land.

According to the equity division, the third partner holds 50%, Nancheng Construction holds 40%, and Shouzheng Group holds 10%. Nancheng Construction actually paid the most money, because when the land was purchased, the third partner only had 30 million yuan in its account. The bid document shows that its total bank deposits and net assets are only billion yuan.

It is obvious that Nancheng Construction’s hands were not very clean at the beginning - but compared with Shouzheng Group, they were already considered to be law-abiding.

Shouzheng Group suddenly announced that it would acquire 10% of the shares held by its third partner with a 50% stake, and suddenly became the largest shareholder with a 60% stake.

Of course Nancheng Construction refused to do so, because according to the original agreement, Nancheng Construction was the priority subscriber.

That is to say, if you, a third party, want to sell your 50% stake, I have to say no first before others can take it.

I haven't even said a word yet, and you've already sold it to Shouzheng Group and are taking advantage of me?

It is obvious that Nancheng Construction’s priority subscription right exists, and Shouzheng Group was once in a passive state.

But later they found a way to break the impasse - if I kill you, then your right of first refusal will be gone, right?

Moreover, I can kill two birds with one stone. Not only can I make some money from reselling your technology, but I can also complete the task of swallowing up an elephant with two million square meters of land.

"In fact, we have a cooperative investment agreement. Without the permission and consent of one party, no other party may transfer part or all of the equity of the project."

Mr. Wang sighed and said, "At first we thought that we would have to enter the science and technology industry. The cooperation with Shouzheng Group can not only raise funds to establish a joint venture company in real estate, but also pave the way for the science and technology industry in the future. We can be on the same boat from the beginning."

"I didn't expect that Liu Shouzheng would rather stab his fellow passengers to death than sail the ship to its destination, right?"

"...their relationship is quite strong." Mr. Wang looked at Ailia and said, "Miss Ai, let me tell you something. I am planning to make a bold move. I will sell these two million square meters of land to Liu Shouzheng at the cost price. Then I will ask you to borrow 200 million yuan to focus on basic communication technology. This can be considered as an industrial transformation."

"This is not called transformation, this is called leaving the house with nothing." Alia crossed her arms and looked at the map: "Two million square meters, does Shouzheng Group have so much money?"

"Indirect lending, asset restructuring, there are many ways." Prime Minister Lei shook his head: "As long as Nancheng Construction can't hold on, the rest will not be a problem for Shouzheng Group. They may set up an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary to receive this part of the equity. Assuming the proposed transaction amount is 40 billion, the actual initial payment will only require a few billion. More importantly, as long as the stock price is pushed up, everything will be easy."

Once a large-scale merger is completed, it will not be a problem for the stock price of the reorganized company to double.

The stock price can double, which means that the assets have increased more than tenfold.

Moreover, it is very likely that this is using Shouzheng Group as a springboard to generate income for Liu Shouzheng's own pocket.

"Is restructuring so simple? No one from above asks?"

"So Nancheng Construction must die. If Nancheng Construction collapses, things will be much simpler. It can be a matter of debt inheritance and debt offset."

Nancheng Construction may not owe too much money, but Shouzheng Group can be said to owe a lot, and it can be said that it owes itself 39.9 billion yuan.

With a transaction volume of 40 billion, I offset 39.9 billion of debt, and I only made 100 million. Is that not too much?

Although this will also be questioned, such as your debt repayment ability, whether taking on so much controlling debt as a listed company will harm the interests of the company and affect the rights and interests of shareholders, etc....

But it is definitely better than paying such a large sum of money in cash. The other party definitely doesn't have that much money.

Because Arya had none of it - she couldn't even pay out the fortune that others had accumulated over seven years in one go.

"The game is really complicated, but no matter what, what they have to do now is to destroy South City Construction first, right?"

"Correct!"

"And the reason why Nancheng Construction is dragging its feet is that it still holds out hope that its technology can have new developments, right?"

"Correct!"

"So the current difficulty facing Nancheng Construction is the concentrated repayment of the 4 billion short-term debt, right?"

"Two hundred million, the debt is paid off in a centralized manner, only two hundred million is needed - for the technical aspect, another hundred million is needed."

Mr. Wang sat down and rubbed his face. "My friends have basically helped me with everything they could. The rest I can't do anything about... It adds up to several hundred million. It's easy on paper. We still have two million square meters of land on the books of Nancheng Construction, but we have no money - Miss Ai, we really have no money!"

Among the large enterprises that suddenly died due to broken capital chains, there were many who could have been built by Nancheng Construction, and one less would not have made a difference.

If the Ai Group had not been supported by Prime Minister Lei and had not been a continuous cash cow, it would probably have been faced with a liquidity crisis.

After all, with Alia's style of spending money like water, anyone with poor business ability would not be able to handle such a mess.

So Alia said that Mr. Lei likes to work overtime, and Mr. Lei said that he likes to work overtime, but in fact he has to work overtime.

He has a lot of things to do, but what can he do?

"We have no money, so we don't have the guts to argue with Liu Shouzheng. I begged him to let me go, but he refused."

Mr. Wang sniffed and said, "Before I came here, I actually met with Mr. Chen. Mr. Huo was also there at the time. He said that if there is anyone who can help me, it might be Miss Ai in Tianhai. Others would not dare to offend Liu Shouzheng."

This is not just a matter of giving a few hundred million. Because of the tens of billions of interests, he and Liu Shouzheng will become absolute enemies.

Mr. Wang’s friend has no money left, and the other rich bosses can only watch.

Bigger ones like Mr. Chen and Mr. Huo don't invest in these areas.

Alia stood with her hands on her hips, amused. "What kind of boxing match? No guns allowed, compulsory boxing, right?"

After the meal, dessert was served. Alia wanted to eat it, but Mr. Wang was not in the mood.

Because of his previous emotional outpouring, he now doesn't have high hopes for Alia's investment and just treats it as treating a friend to dinner.

"If you want to ask whether socializing is hard or not, of course it is hard, but I can't help it!"

"Liu Shouzheng's secretary is a bastard. He had his eyes on my daughter before, but I couldn't do anything about it. I could only ask my assistant to get rid of him."

"Yes, I know this is dirty. Miss Ai, you must feel disgusted after hearing this, but I also paid my assistant a high salary. And these two also know that they have to socialize and drink today, but what can they do?"

"When I talked to them about technology, they talked to me about personal relationships. When I talked to them about personal relationships, they talked to me about risks. We couldn't reach an agreement! Really, we couldn't reach an agreement at all. I don't know how I got through it—"

Prime Minister Lei poured him a cup of tea: "Mr. Wang, you've drunk too much."

"I'm not drunk! Mr. Lei, let me tell you the truth. I can't beat Liu Shouzheng. I really can't do it. It's hard for you too. Don't get involved in this. If you can lend me some money so that I can master the technology, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. Really, that's enough."

Who would be like Alia, who told others at the dinner table that she didn't want to drink anymore and would just look at the technical report?

Do you understand? Huh? Isn't that just something the technical department has to waffle on and on about, and then put into the contract as the most insignificant part?
