Chapter 414: Road Encounter
The setting sun shone in from the window and fell on the carcass in front of the window, which was as white and delicate as the first snow, reflecting a luster like fat jade.
Zhou Han tiptoed to the bed, his slender legs were close together, his plump buttocks were like a snow mound with infinite scenery, tightening a concave solitary curve to his waist, with a charming waist vortex, a straight and slightly weak back, and long black hair that was pulled into a bun at will on the top of his head, making the neck more slender.
Zhou Han bent down to pick up the skirts scattered in front of the window, subconsciously glanced back, and saw that Cao Mo had not only woken up, but was also staring at her shameful place with her eyes open, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover it.
"Look at what you can, and you still want to use force on me, and you will tremble first within two strokes......," Cao Mo said.
"Do you dare to say?" Zhou Hanmei glared at Cao Mo, grabbed the clothes that were spilled on the bedside floor, threw them at him, and then put on the clothes with all hands and feet, picked up the mobile phone and bag in a hurry, and was about to open the door and go out, "I'll drive away, there is a flight to Paris tomorrow morning, I want to go to Spain for a few days first, which is considered a vacation; ”
"......" Cao Mo took off the clothes on his face, and saw that Zhou Han was opening the door and walking out, but he was cold and weak, and he almost fell down on his high heels, and asked, "Do you still have the strength to drive?"
"Do you want to care?" Zhou Han slammed the door shut, and went down the stairs with a "knock" in his high heels.
Cao Mo leaned on the head of the bed, lit a cigarette, got up and stood in front of the window, looking at the Lu family villa on the other side of the boulevard.
The opposite community covers an area of more than 200 acres of land, all of which are villa residences.
The status of the Lu family is more special, in addition to the first row of independent courtyards, but also opened a separate access channel on the southeast side of the public gate of the community.
This also made Zhou Han buy a set of old man's house on the top floor in the old community on this side of the boulevard, and he could see the Lu family's every move through the cracks in the trees with a telescope.
The husband's house is very narrow, it is a one-room apartment type, the partition wall is demolished, and it is completely arranged into a single apartment, but it also looks spacious - Zhou Han has rushed back to China in the past few days, and he wants to see the final outcome of the Lu family with his own eyes.
To be honest, Cao Mo didn't expect Guo Jian to dare to be involved in something related to the Lu family, and even the action of playing was not small, he couldn't help but think, was all this from Han Shaorong's instructions, or was Guo Jian good at advocating?
And Chen Shu's daughter Chen Yao has no feelings for Lu Yan, she and Lu Yan came together in the early days of the two families, but after Chen Shu decided to cut off Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao, so as not to be dragged into the quagmire of no return, Chen Yao broke off contact with Lu Yan.
For what reason did Chen Yao appear here today?
What was in the hard drive that Guo Jian finally took from the security guard?
However, the Lu family collapsed, Guo Jian still wanted to do something inside, Cao Mo didn't want to pay too much attention to it, he got dressed, cleaned up, turned off the lights in the house, and went down the stairs to walk out of the old man's house built in the seventies.
Under the dim street lamps, people are either returning from work, or bicycle taps hang meat and vegetables that have just been bought from the vegetable market, and on the crowded and narrow sidewalks, several cars are circling around, looking for a space to park their cars - there is no security guard at the gate of the community, it is open, there is an old-fashioned barber shop with bright lights, and two old men press a naughty boy of six or seven years old to an overly wide barber chair.
Cao Mo also liked the atmosphere of the market, walked to the cigarette shop next to the barbershop, bought a box of cigarettes and a lighter, squatted on the side of the road and smoked, reminiscing about the crazy taste with Zhou Han just now;
"Cao Mo, why are you here?"
A black Audi passed through the boulevard in front of the community, braked suddenly, and slowly reversed, Cao Li poked her head out of the car window in disbelief, and she didn't know why Cao Mo was okay and squatted in front of the gate of Jiafeng Community to smoke.
Seeing Cao Li sitting in the passenger seat, and it was his uncle Cao Fangming who was driving, Cao Mo was stunned.
Seeing that his uncle was also looking tired and haggard from the car at this time, Cao Mo responded lightly: "I made an appointment with a friend to meet here." ”
After seeing Cao Mo throwing millions of dollars in cash and hundreds of millions of dollars in checks on the gambling table at the New Taihua Hotel and Casino, Cao Fangming and Cao Li's father and daughter really understood that Cao Mo had already really made his mark in Africa, not only the main competitors of Taihua and Huamao in Africa, but even the momentum in Africa was still above Taihua and Huamao.
After that, although Cao Fangming said that he didn't have the face to contact his eldest brother Cao Xiong's family, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Tianyue's situation always knew more than others, and he never thought that Xiao Qisan, whom he disdained, was already something he couldn't climb.
And that time to Kanem, although Cao Fangming did not dare to directly participate in the investment of projects such as Conaihai Binhai New City in the end, the investment in the photovoltaic power station project also made him feel palpitations, so that he did not dare to toss blindly, but thinking that the Lu family was deeply rooted and could not fall easily, he scraped together 20 million cash to borrow Xintaihua investment, thinking that he would be able to live a very nourishing life in Xinhai in the future.
Who would have thought that the collapse of the Lu family would be so lightning fast.
It is also considering that the Lu family once helped him, so that they got out of the quagmire of photovoltaic power station investment, Cao Fangming lent 20 million cash to Xintaihua Investment, and did not ask the Lu family to take any assets as collateral.
Now that the Lu family has collapsed, those secured debts can either be directly delivered and the mortgaged assets can be frozen, or the mortgaged assets will be frozen through the court, and there is no need to worry about losing all their capital.
The rest of the unsecured ordinary debts are worried, and it is really unknown how much blood they can collect back in the end.
In the past, Cao Fangming thought that no matter how developed his eldest brother's family was, his family also had an annual income of two or three million in Xinhai, so there was no need to lick it hard.
However, he just drove past the gate of Jiafeng Community, and at first glance saw Cao Mo rubbing on the side of the road outside the gate of the community, and suddenly stopped the car, thinking that the few assets left by Xintaihua Investment at present are the equity of the two projects of Conero Binhai New Town and Conero Lake Port, and how much money can be sold for the equity of these two projects determines how much capital they can recover from these creditors.
Although the listed company Taihua Group continues to suspend trading, after the shareholders' meeting the day before yesterday, a series of resolutions such as the election of a new board of directors, the company's name change, and overseas asset replacement have been disclosed through announcements.
Cao Fangming will not easily let go of any news about Taihua and the Lu family every day, and naturally he has noticed this.
Once the listed company's overseas asset replacement is approved by the China Securities Regulatory Authority, it means that 30% of the shares of Xintaihua Refinery, Conero Binhai New City and Conero Lake Port will be placed in Conero Lake Industrial Park Co., Ltd. – the announcement also disclosed that Tianyue Investment holds a 36% stake in Conero Lake Industrial Park.
As long as there is a little normal business logic, everyone would have thought that Xintaihua Investment currently holds 21% of the shares of Conero Binhai New City and Conero Lake Port, which is tempting for Tianyue Investment.
However, it has been a few days since the creditors' committee was established, and Tianyue Investment has not been contacted.
Although Cao Fangming is not the largest creditor in the current outstanding debt balance of more than 500 million yuan in Xintaihua Investment, 20 million is his life's work, and he even scraped together some money from others.
Cao Fangming parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car with Cao Li, and saw that Cao Mo was still squatting there smoking, and he didn't mean to stand up, he didn't stand or squat.
He reached into his pocket and touched it for a long time, but he didn't find a cigarette, and seeing that Cao Mo didn't mean to hand him a cigarette, he could only squat down with a restless old face and asked: "All the assets mortgaged by Xintaihua are either directly delivered and repaid, or they are also frozen by the court, and even the villa opposite the boss of the Lu family has been frozen, and the assets that have not yet been paid off are mainly the part of the shareholding in Conero Coastal New Town and Conero Lake Port—— Han Shaorong sent Guo Jian to contact the creditor committee, are you really not interested in this part of the assets?"
"It's not interesting or not interested, it's just the price!" Cao Mo glanced at his uncle's haggard old face, and said slowly, "Xintaihua has invested 80 million US dollars in these two projects for this part of the shares, but now I want Huamao to acquire this part of the equity assets at a price of 80 million US dollars, it is probably unlikely - if I guess correctly, Han Shaorong estimated that he did not even make an offer, and sent Guo Jian to contact him, but he just wanted to see if Tianyue had done anything to this part of the equity assets......"
Cao Mo not only spoke, but also said that he did pay attention to the movement of this part of the equity assets, Cao Fangming looked uplifted, and said: "Most creditors do not expect to be able to sell the equity of these two projects at the original price, and the price is still easy to negotiate......
"By the way, I saw a lot of people guarding the door of the Lu family's villa, preventing the Lu family from moving things out from inside, who invited these people?" Cao Mo asked from a different point of conversation.
"The person Dahua Construction is looking for, the cost is shared by all creditors, what's wrong?" Cao Fangming asked suspiciously.
"Dahua Construction?" Cao Mo is still well aware of Xintaihua's outstanding remaining debts.
As a construction company and construction contractor, Dahua Construction has no reputation in Xinhai, and its scale is limited, and among the ordinary debts that have not been paid off in Xintaihua, Dahua Construction's creditor's rights are only more than 10 million, which is not even as good as his uncle Cao Fangming.
However, as a construction company, there is no shortage of people who dare to rush and dare to break through.
Cao Mo looked at his uncle's expression, and he didn't need to ask to see that his uncle had either approached Han Shaorong and had no result, or Han Shaorong had no intention of intervening in the subsequent bankruptcy and reorganization of Xintaihua through them at all.
However, Guo Jian has been in contact with the people sent by Dahua Construction in private, could it be that Han Shaorong is now cautious enough to track the follow-up debt disputes of Xintaihua through the most inconspicuous Dahua Construction, and has no intention of intervening in it with great fanfare?
Cao Mo pondered in his heart, and asked his uncle Cao Fangming again: "Dahua is looking for someone to keep an eye on this side, what are you still running here for?"
In the past, Cao Mo saw that he ignored it, and he didn't say a few words, but at this time, he even asked several questions, Cao Fangming was a little tired from half-squatting and talking, so he squatted over and stretched out his hand to take the cigarette and lighter from Cao Mo, and smoke a Chinese cigarette to relieve his hunger.
Cao Mo glanced at his uncle in surprise, I don't know where he got his confidence, thinking that he would smoke for him?
Cao Fangming withdrew his hand, smiled awkwardly, and complained: "The Lu family just called the police and said that the things they locked in the safe were stolen by the people of Dahua Construction - what a joke, the safes are all locked well, there are no keys and passwords, who can trick things out of the safe? However, even if there is no evidence, they all called the police, and the police came to the scene, we can only rush over and deal with it, and toss for two hours to make a record, and the police left, which is really enough for them!"
Cao Mo thought of Guo Jian's secret hiding of car keys after the divorce, and even secretly entering and leaving Xu Xin's residence.
After all, Guo Jian has been by Lu Yan's side like a dog for a long time, and even deeply involved in Lu Yan's private life, Lu Yan has no defense against Guo Jian, only Guo Jian has this condition.
"My friend came to pick me up!" Cao Mo saw Xiao Jun drive the car over, patted his ass and stood up, and walked directly to Xiao Jun's side.
"The equity of Conero Coastal New City and Conero Lake Port, Tianyue is really interested, I can help you negotiate with other creditors......" Seeing Cao Mo patting his ass and leaving, Cao Fangming shouted anxiously.
"Okay, make a five-percent discount, Tianyue will take it all over!" Cao Mo pulled the car door, didn't rush to get into the car, and turned his head to say to his uncle.
Cao Fangming was stunned for a moment, Xintaihua Investment invested more than 80 million US dollars in the shares of Conero Binhai New City and Conero Lake Port, and sold them to Tianyue Investment at a 5% discount, which was equivalent to returning about 300 million yuan, and they could continue to recover more than 50 million assets from the Lu family in China, which meant that all their debts could only be recovered at a 7% discount.
"It's not a 50% discount on the shareholdings of the two projects, it's a 50% discount on the creditor's rights in your hands, and Tianyue Investment can take it all over!" Cao Mo saw that his uncle wanted to be crooked, and corrected him and said.
Cao Fangming was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet, but he didn't say anything after all, and only then did he get back into the car and scolded: "Xiao Qisan is going to take advantage of the fire to rob, it's really infuriating!"
............
............
"Your uncle?" Everyone was a neighbor more than ten years ago, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Xiao Jun didn't confirm that the middle-aged man standing at the gate of Jiafeng Community with Cao Mo was Cao Fangming, so he asked curiously.
"Well, he has 20 million trapped in Xintaihua, and he is worried about how to get out, and he is always staring at the movements of the Lu family," Cao Mo briefly explained the situation, looked at Xiao Jun, who returned to China for vacation, and saw that he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes at this time, and asked curiously, "Why are you dressed like this, where are you recruiting male public relations in nightclubs?"
Xiao Jun has been abroad for nearly three years, and this is the first time he has returned to China to have a complete vacation.
In addition to picking up the wind and washing the dust for Yang Deshan, Xiao Jun also attended, Cao Mo did not let Xiao Jun go to Tianyue Headquarters, so that he could spend more time with his parents during this time, and he didn't see Xiao Jun much in the past few days, seeing that his temperament had changed greatly.
"Don't mention it, my return to China this time is really miserable, I have been on a blind date nine times in a row in four days after returning to China - if the quality is high, you don't know what the blind date partner that my mother asked the seventh aunt and eight aunts to find me looks like, that one is stumbling, the key is to drag it to the sky. However, I don't dare not go yet, if I dare to play face, my mother will be able to cry to me-look at this posture, if I don't settle the marriage this time, my mother probably won't let me go abroad again!" Xiao Jun said bitterly, "There are two more tonight-if you don't have to accompany Cheng Xi at night, accompany me to the past, these few days of blind date, the other party basically brings people, and they are about to eat me poor......"
Although young men and women in Xinhai have long been accustomed to marrying late and having children late, Cao Mo and Cheng Xi are dating, and the two families will not rush them to get married.
Xiao Jun's situation is a bit special, he went abroad to work for three years, and the time to return to China added up to less than half a month, Xiao Jun's mother was worried that Xiao Jun would not be able to survive in Africa and find an African girl to deal with it, so he was particularly concerned about Xiao Jun's marriage.
Cao Mo was weak in the end, some were afraid of seeing Song Yuqing, and some were afraid of seeing Cheng Xi, so he wanted to accompany Xiao Jun on a blind date to pass the time, sat in the passenger seat and looked left and right, and said: "Where did you find this car?" Now the girls in Xinhai are very picky, and they don't have a car that starts at 500,000 yuan, and they don't look at it, as if a man with a monthly salary of less than 20,000 yuan is not worthy of breathing the air of Xinhai......"
Cao Mo has to take care of Xiao Jun more than others - in addition to a small part of Tianyue Industry's shares, when the equity adjustment of Conero Cement and Yibogu Mining was adjusted, Xiao Jun was allowed to get a part of the options.
Xiao Jun's status in the management of Tianyue is not comparable with Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng, Kabuja, Lucy, Wendy Carpuff and others, but this year's annual salary plus dividends has an income of five or six million.
However, Xiao Jun's time in China was too short, and at the beginning of the year, he remitted more than 100,000 yuan to his family and bought a Buick for his father to drive, but he didn't buy a car himself, and he didn't feel the need to buy a car.
"I have been in love nine times in four days, and I have learned it, and people don't talk about whether the personality is suitable when they sit down, and they directly ask how much they earn, whether they have a house, and whether their name is written on the house, I am numb - if I can't look at it, I can't look at it, I'm just afraid that my mother will lose her face, otherwise I won't suffer this crime," Xiao Jun said with a smile, "When the other party arrives later, it's best to sit down and see if we don't like the eyes and leave directly, we can also save coping." ”
At this time, Xiao Jun put a call on the mobile phone on the dashboard, Xiao Jun glanced at it, directly pressed the speakerphone, opened his mouth to lie about the phone, and said: "Aunt Yang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm blocking the inner ring on the elevated highway at this time - I've already gone out." Ah, the girl has already arrived at the Blue Tide Restaurant, I may have to arrive in half an hour, if you have something, we can make an appointment another day - you continue to wait, okay, I'll rush over as soon as possible......"
"Damn, you have to be a little sincere yourself, I blush for you when you tell a lie. Cao Mo smiled.
"I'm half an hour late, and the other party is willing to wait another half an hour, how desperate do I have to get married? I'm so miserable, go back to China to take a vacation, why do I have to suffer so much!" Xiao Jun screamed, "When I returned to China, I wanted to visit all the famous clubs in Xinhai first, Dongmei, Windsor, Dajinjiang, I made materials before returning to China, but it was four days, and I couldn't find time, am I easy? If I don't deal with this girl first, I will go directly to Dongmei, do you have an acquaintance who can help us book a box?"
"I'm in Xinhai, I still need to go to Dongmei to find a girl? I'm out of low-level fun, I called Shen Ji to ask, he should be familiar with the way, but he hasn't taken me to play, it's very unrighteous," Cao Mo said, "By the way, aren't you going to meet two times at night, and have time to play with us?"
"I'm afraid I can't find an excuse to push it away? You hurry up and call Shen Ji, why do you want to be a tender model in the club today!" Xiao Jun urged Cao Mo to call Shen Ji quickly, for fear that the phone call would be late and he would not be able to book a private room.
Cao Mo and Xiao Jun rubbed on the road for half an hour before they arrived at Lanxi Restaurant.
Aunt Yang is Xiao Jun's neighbor, and Cao Mo also knows her.
probably blew it hard for Xiao Jun in front of the girl, and the girl didn't mind Xiao Jun working in Africa for many years, and asked Xiao Jun a lot of questions with great interest.
However, after learning that Xiao Jun did not buy a house alone in Xinhai, he still lived with his parents, and the car he drove was only a Buick Kaiyue, and his "actual income" in Africa was not as exaggerated as Aunt Yang said, with an annual salary of less than 300,000 yuan, the girl quickly became indifferent, and left without eating a few mouthfuls of food.
Cao Mo and Xiao Jun politely sent Aunt Yang away, and Shen Ji called to say that he was in front of the restaurant.
Cao Mo checked out the bill with Xiao Jun and walked out of the restaurant, opened the car door and was just about to sit in, when he saw Cheng Xi and Wu Yunling sitting in the back seat, which startled them.
"It's not like I'm going to betray you. I'm walking around Yinguang with Yun Ling in the afternoon, you call, we went up the escalator on the second floor and happened to meet Cheng Xi, you were so excited, I coughed several times, you didn't hear it!" Shen Ji said while sitting in the driver's seat.
"I thought you had a cold!" Cao Mo said, patting her head.
"Oriental Charm, isn't it, take us to the rise and see!" Cheng Xi poked his head out and said, "I really thought you were going to accompany Xiao Jun on two blind dates at night?"
"I'm mainly afraid that Xiao Jun has been lonely in Africa for too long, and he will be tempted when he sees a girl casually, so I'm going to take him to Dongfang Meili to open his eyes first, so that he can know what level of beautiful girls in China is, and he will be captured by an ordinary girl after a few kisses!" Cao Mo sat in the car and said with a hippie smile to Cheng Xi, "You also heard what I said on the phone, right? I am really not familiar with Dongfang Meili at all, otherwise I would not have looked for Shen Ji to lead the way today, and I was caught by you so coincidentally!"
Wu Yunling changed the co-pilot's seat, turned around and complained to Cheng Xi:
"To prevent them men, the focus is no longer on occasions like clubs and clubs, they are already too low-grade - Shen Ji What business talks do they have now, Jinhong Club or some extremely high-end tea houses, the waiters are all beautiful, highly educated, and good at talking, which can arouse their desire to hook up! By the way, Shen Ji often goes to a place called Qianyun Tea House during this time, where can we go to open our eyes!" If you are really afraid that Xiao Jun will be deceived by any girl, then we will go to Qianyun Teahouse. ”
"Yes, we will accompany you to catch the traitor today, and see how many concubines Shen Ji has raised there!" Cao Mo said.
"Go, I'm guarding Yun Ling like a jade, do you think you can see my good show......" Compared with Dongmei, Shen Ji is also more willing to bring his fiancée and Cheng Xi to the tea house, after all, it is an occasion for serious business talks......
