Chapter 41: A Deadly Crisis
"I know it's my dad's fault, but he can't help it, the company's equity pledged in the bank expires, and if we don't repay the loan and redeem it, the bank will sell our company's stock. Kong Lei whispered bitterly.
Shaochen frowned, "It's the bank again, those people in the bank treat you as the god of wealth when they collect interest, and now when there is a risk, all of them are ghosts, so what is Uncle Kong going to do now." ”
"He wants to redeem tens of millions of investments in our company in advance, repay the bank loan, and then get the equity back first. Kong Lei said.
"There is no other way than this? Just now Xiao Ci called and said that Huo's equity is in the bank, and it has also reached the risk warning line, and they need to stabilize the stock price, otherwise they are ready to sell Huo's shares. Shaochen said lightly.
"Ah, Huo's also has such a crisis, so what are you going to do, you also want to get back the investment in the company? So isn't Xinfu collapsed?" Kong Lei listened, and became even more panicked.
"The investment in the company does not belong to Huo's, nor does it belong to me personally, I found the two largest investments one is the president of Splendid Bank, one is my father-in-law Lin Zhengnan's investment, I must ensure their returns, so the company can not collapse, Huo's there, I have asked Yuci to Huo's entry into real estate as the reason, to the Securities Regulatory Commission to apply for a suspension of trading, if the suspension is approved, the stock price can temporarily avoid the risk of market decline. Shaochen said slowly.
"This is a good way, but our Confucius Group is not applicable, steel is now a market with oversupply, and the company has no major projects in the near future, if the application for suspension, the Securities Regulatory Commission will definitely not be able to approve." Kong Lei said helplessly.
"Then we can only redeem the investment in our Xinfu to save the emergency?" Shaochen's tone was cold.
"There is no way, now my father and eldest brother are already helpless, in the event of this stock market crash, if we don't raise money to repay immediately, I am afraid that the bank will begin to sell the company's shares in the next few days, once abandoned by the bank, then our Kong Iron and Steel will change hands." At this time, Kong Gongzi was anxious and helpless, he knew that letting his father redeem the investment was undoubtedly the catastrophe of Xinfu, but not letting his father redeem it was the end of the Kong family's steel, and he was caught in the middle, and he was really in a dilemma.
Shaochen was silent for a long time, time passed minute by minute, neither of them spoke again, and was silent until the end, Shaochen said, "According to the provisions of the contract, if you redeem it in advance, there is no interest." ”
When Kong Lei heard this, he knew that Shaochen had agreed to save the Kong family group, so he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I know, this is definitely to be done according to the contract." ”
"Let your dad come over tomorrow to go through the formalities and get the check, but the 80 million redemption is just a redemption, I'm afraid there will be a large number of retail investors redeeming the tide, whether Xinfu can survive this time is completely up to God's will." Shaochen said that in desperation, he still agreed to his brother's request, this is because of the righteousness of many years of friendship, but he understands better that the development of Xinfu in the future has been very slim, this stock market crash, I really don't know how many companies have been harmed, how many people have gone bankrupt, and the investment is risky, this is the eternal truth.
Kong Lei looked at Huo Shaochen gratefully, "Brother, I really want to thank you this time." ”
Huo Shaochen's eyes were already dim, and he waved his hand, "You go out first, by the way, tell Gangzi about this, and my opinion will also be conveyed to him, he is also one of the partners of the company." ”
"Okay. After Kong Lei finished speaking, he lowered his head and left Shaochen's office, his mood was also unusually heavy, he could only stand on the side of his family business first, that is his fundamental, but in this way, how long Xinfu Investment can support in the future is already unpredictable.
Xinfu is gone, he can still go back to work in his family's company, the eldest brother and his father will definitely not and cannot have an opinion, Shao Gang returned to his farmhouse although it is a little condescending, but it is also to ensure that food and clothing are worry-free, but Huo Shaochen, he has left the Huo family, Xinfu Investment has poured a lot of effort into him, and it is also his only source of income now, once Xinfu is unsustainable, Shaochen's future is not so clear, it is possible that he has a lot of talent, and he may not be able to find a platform to display it soon.
It's just that these are not things that Kong Lei can consider and take into account now, keeping the family business is his only and most urgent request now, he told Shao Gang about the situation or Shaochen's opinion, Shao Gang was silent for a long time before saying, "Shaochen also agreed, what other opinions can I have, among the three people, I was originally a senior errand runner, but everyone's hard work for most of the year may have been in vain." ”
"Brother, I'm sorry, this money is related to the life and death of the Kong family's steel, I won't forget you, as long as I can use my Kong Lei's place in the future, you can just open your mouth, and I will not give up the sword mountain and the sea of fire." Kong Lei said sadly.
Shao Gang turned his face away, "Let's talk about it later, none of us know what will happen in the future, the family business is fundamental, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, I can understand, I will go back first." Shao Gang left the office and went back to his paradise-like farmhouse. No one saw that his eyes were moist when he left the company.
The other people in the company, looking at the faces of several leaders are gloomy, are afraid of getting into trouble, as soon as the time to get off work arrives, they rush away with oil on the soles of their feet, Tang Lijia is walking last, of course she can also perceive that the company has encountered a major event, but since Shaochen came back from the UK, he has not paid attention to her anymore, as his assistant, his work has not let her interfere again, so although she really wanted to go in and ask about the situation, she finally shook her head and got off work alone.
Shaochen sat alone in the office, unconsciously it was already dark, he turned off the computer, ready to leave, at this moment, he suddenly thought that Weiyue should have prepared a meal and waited for him to go back, his mood was only slightly better, roughly calculated, he had not eaten the food made by Weiyue for a long time, and today he was finally free, and he had time to try his wife's craftsmanship.
At this moment, Shaochen's mobile phone rang, it was Weiyue's call, and he hurriedly answered it, and Weiyue's sweet voice immediately came from the microphone, "Shaochen, I'm going shopping with my mother today, buying some things for babies, and eating out by the way, anyway, you have to work overtime." Remember to come back early in the evening. ”
Shaochen listened to Weiyue's words, and responded indifferently, "Got it, remember to come back early, don't be tired of our children." ”
"Okay, got it. After Weiyue happily agreed, she hung up the phone.
Shaochen put down the phone blankly, lonely on his face, maybe this is retribution, think about the day Weiyue was dismissed, he was accompanying Ruihua's He Zong to socialize, she came to the apartment that day, she should have hoped to get her own comfort, but she was drunk, she went to Shangqing City the next day, all this, today's thing, is probably God's punishment for snubbing his wife.
It's already dark, after tomorrow, with the news of the redemption of Kongjia Iron and Steel in Xinfu Investment, Xinfu will face the redemption tide of retail investors, whether Xinfu can survive this cold winter, his heart is completely unsure, locked the door of the company, Shaochen walked outside, Xinfu is located in the bustling commercial center, not far from the company is a famous bar street in the sea, anyway, there is nothing to do, go to borrow wine to eliminate your worries.
Shaochen casually walked into a bar called "Flower Street 90". In the restaurant opposite the bar, there was Weiyue's mother and daughter, "Xiaoyue, you have come around in such a big circle, you have to come here to eat, and the dishes here are not special." Mrs. Lin was grumbling.
"Mom, the food here is very ordinary, but this place is very special. Weiyue said with a chuckle.
Lin Fu raised his head and looked carefully around the seat, still frowning and said, "What's so special, it's just an ordinary hotel, this kind of decoration, your father has done a year's project, not ten thousand, but thousands, it's very ordinary." ”
"I'm not talking about this, it's the location of this restaurant, it's near Shaochen's company, after we finish eating, I can go to the company casually, and you can also pack something for him to make supper, he's busy, he always doesn't eat well, and in the long run, he will exhaust his body." ”
Mrs. Lin listened to her daughter's words, nodded with a smile and said, "My daughter is gentle and virtuous, you do this very well, in a family, it is necessary for two people to take care of each other, to be honest, Shaochen, as a husband, has actually done a very good job, it can be said that everything he can do has been done for you as much as possible, but men always have their own careers, so you can be more considerate and understand him, and your marriage can be harmonious for a long time." ”
"I know, I didn't think I would fall in love with a playboy like him who didn't have a good reputation, but after almost a year of getting along, I was really moved by him, although he didn't say it, sometimes he was very cheap, but his heart was really good to me, I could feel it. Weiyue said affectionately.
Mrs. Lin nodded her daughter's head, "What Shaochen did, we all saw it, but because he was the heir of the Huo family after all, and Huo Ding had always disagreed with the two of you, so my father and I were worried that you would suffer if you married him like this." But now you don't have to live with the people of the Huo family, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and the daughter-in-law of a big family is not so easy to be. ”
"Mom, in fact, I think the same way, as long as Shaochen loves me, after my child is born, our family of three lives together peacefully and happily, I am really satisfied, what glory and wealth or something, I don't care, Shaochen lost the inheritance of the Huo family, for me, there is really nothing, what I am worried about is that there will be a thorn in Shaochen's heart, and it is uncomfortable to be inserted there. ”
Mrs. Lin shook her head, "You are too worried, your father said that Shaochen is a dragon in the shopping mall, without the Huo family, he can still do a career, and now that he is opening his own company, maybe he can have a better way to let go of his hands and feet, and better reflect his value." ”
The mother and daughter chatted while eating, very harmonious, after so many things, Mrs. Lin has put aside the past mustard, and truly treats Weiyue as her own daughter.
Shaochen was in the bar, drinking stuffy, but he didn't notice that a pair of eyes had been paying attention to him not far away, Tang Lijia gently shook the wine in her glass, and got up silently, the newlywed Yan'er, not at home with his wife, but like me, ran to the bar to drink stuffy, it is unreasonable. He has a dark face, he looks in a bad mood, but his new wife is not there to take care of him, is this a chance given to me?
Thinking of this, she picked up the wine glass in her hand and walked in the direction of Shaochen with careful steps.
