Li Wan heard Lin Qiang say that he wanted to have supper with his classmates, and said, "When you classmates meet, it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"

"It's okay, Ma Daqiang and Hu Qi, you've seen them before. Lin Qiang started the car: "Or, call Haotian too?"

"Don't call him anymore, Haotian is not familiar with your classmates. Li Wan said: "By the way, at the dinner just now, I saw Mayor Zheng come over to shake hands with you, and the CEOs at the same table have changed their attitude towards you a lot, especially the manager of the credit union, who is still busy and takes the initiative to send business cards, and is close to you, it seems that the two of you still knew each other before?"

Lin Qiang smiled bitterly: "You said that thin man Chen Wang? I really have a few friends with him." That guy is now the director of the Fengcheng District Rural Credit Cooperative, more than ten years ago he was just a clerk in our town credit cooperative, I remember I just graduated out to participate in the work of the meeting, my dad and the director of the town credit union is a junior classmate, has been in the credit union many times loans, are this Chen Wang personally handled, a few years later this Chen Wang transferred to the Yuantan Town Credit Cooperative as the deputy director, my dad that was the director of the classmate also retired, and later our town was incorporated into the jurisdiction of Yuantan Town, 98 years after our family business cross, the credit union has been chasing us to repay the loan, originally we have always paid interest on time, but also want to renew the loanBut the credit union has no room for negotiation at all, and we must pay off the principal immediately, and Chen Wang has also brought people directly to Guangzhou to ask us for payment many times. ”

Li Wan had already heard Lin Qiang talk about his most difficult days, "Then did you pay back the money?"

Lin Qiang shook his head: "At that time, it was a problem for our family to even survive, where can we find money to repay the loan? My father told the people in the credit union that he would pay the interest on time on a quarterly basis, and the principal could only be repaid later." But this Chen Wang threw down a sentence at that time, you wait for the court summons. ”

"Did they really go to court to prosecute?" asked Li Wan.

Soon we received a summons from the court, requiring us to repay the loan as required, or else we would be enforced. In fact, at that time was our most difficult time, even if it was enforced, there was no enforceable subject matter at all, my mentality at that time was that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, what do you love, but then my mother knew, worried that she couldn't do it, and finally called my second brother and asked him to find a way to repay the loan first. Lin Qiang said.

"And how much did you borrow at the time?"

"Actually, it's not a lot, I think it seems to be less than 30,000 yuan. ”

"Isn't it?, so a little money is going to make trouble for the court?" asked Li Wan, puzzled.

Lin Qiang smiled bitterly: "You don't know, all banks, credit cooperatives, when you have money and prosperity, they treat you as an uncle, not only chasing you every day to collect savings, but also chasing you to lend you a loan, but when you have no money and are in trouble, you want to find them for a loan, but there is no door." What they like to do most is to add icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send them to the snow. Since that time, I've learned so much that I've never considered taking out a loan from a bank over the years. ”

Li Wan smiled: "This is why even if you have a good idea, you would rather divide the benefits and find someone to cooperate?"

Lin Qiang nodded at her: "Yes, if I don't have enough funds, I'd rather find someone to cooperate with than ask for a bank, and in Yangzhou, our real estate company has a lot of opportunities to really get involved in the real estate industry, but almost all real estate has to deal with banks, I don't want to see the faces of those guys." ”

"You have been bitten by a snake once, and you have been afraid of grass ropes for ten years. Li Wan smiled.

"Sort of. In fact, when we first entered the table, I recognized that Chen Wang, and he must have recognized me, but seeing that he pretended not to know, I didn't need to greet him. Lin Qiang said with a smile.

"He must not have expected that you are the CEO of our real estate company, and you are deeply appreciated by the mayor, so he has the cheekiness to come over and get close to you. Li Wan said.

Lin Qiang smiled: "But I still appreciate his ability to bend and stretch, and it's no wonder that he can sit in the position of director of the urban credit cooperative." I guess he will come to our real estate company in the future, and you will be able to deal with him when the time comes. ”

While speaking, the car had already come downstairs to Haolaideng, Lin Qiang parked the car, walked into the lobby with Li Wan, and saw Ma Daqiang coming.

"Mr. Li is good. Old classmate, you and Mr. Li are out of the limelight today, let's go, I'll take you to the private room, Shibo and Qi are already waiting. ”

In the luxurious private room, Lin Qiang introduced Li Wan to everyone.

"This is the Feng Bureau of the Urban Taxation Bureau, this is the strict school of the Urban District School, and this is my partner Miss Li Wan. Lin Qiang introduced.

Li Wan greeted everyone generously and sat down beside Lin Qiang elegantly.

In addition to Ma Daqiang and Hu Qi, who had known Li Wan before, Shibo and Secretary Yan had only seen Li Wan at the first opening ceremony of Jin Wanji Mansion, and now Li Wan was more radiant and feminine at that time.

"Why are there so many people today? Are there any plans for the party to be discussed?" Lin Qiang said with a round of cigarettes to everyone.

Secretary Yan said to see if everyone has time to get together again during the Spring Festival. Hu Qidao.

"That's a good idea, has the time been set? I'm sure I'll respond positively. Lin Qiang said.

"Lin Qiang, don't just respond, you organized the previous class activities, and you can't hide anymore this time. Secretary Yan said.

"That was before, now you are the real landlords, last year's class gathering was very successful, with our Ma Division, Feng Bureau and us Qi coming forward, we students from other places can sit back and enjoy it. Lin Qiang said.

"That's not possible, I heard Daqiang say, Lin Qiang, you have a lot of business in Fengcheng now, and you yourself often come back to Fengcheng, I haven't seen you organize everyone to meet, didn't you make a fortune and forget your old classmates?"

"How can it be? I can't help myself, I'm busy every day, unlike you and Daqiang and Shibo, who get off work at a fixed time every day, and have a lot of public holidays, we so-called bosses, we don't have anything to eat if we don't work for a day, right, Kai?"

Hu Qi didn't dare to hold up in front of Lin Qiang now, he had already learned about Lin Qiang's current business from Wu Jiming, and learned that the company, business, and net worth he was in charge of didn't know how many times bigger than himself, where would he dare to do it? Recalling his proud appearance in front of his classmates before, Hu Qi didn't know how many times Lin Qiang laughed at himself in his heart.

Secretary Yan said that this time to meet everyone, there is another thing about the class foundation, he proposed that during the Spring Festival, even if there is no longer a large-scale class reunion, but also to send representatives to pay New Year's greetings to the teachers, as well as to visit those students who are in difficulty, as much as possible to provide some help, these expenses can be from the class foundation.

At last year's class reunion, with Hu Qi's strong support, the class foundation raised 70,000 yuan, and today many students have paid their dues, and now there are more than 50,000 yuan in the fund account.

"By the way, Secretary Yan, don't you say, I really forgot to pay the dues, and I'll make up for it now. Lin Qiang patted his head and said, and took out his waist bag as he spoke.

"You guy doesn't care about the class now, I already announced the situation in the class, Qi sponsored another 10,000 yuan this time, Daqiang and Shibo also sponsored 5,000 yuan each, Lin Qiang, you can't lag behind." Secretary Yan said.

"Really, I haven't been out of work in a long time. In this way, then I, like Daqiang, will also sponsor 5,000 yuan. Lin Qiang said while opening his waist bag.

"That's not possible, Lin Qiang, you are also a big boss now, how can you keep up with us?" Shi Bo pointed at him.

"Qi is the real big boss, how can I talk to him? You see, I don't have enough money in my wallet. Lin Qiang smiled and opened his wallet to show everyone, and there were only four or five thousand yuan in it.

Li Wan opened the Xiaokun bag she was carrying, took out a stack of money from it, quietly handed it to Lin Qiang, and whispered: "I just have 10,000 yuan in cash here, you can take it out and use it first." ”

Lin Qiang smiled at her, took it unceremoniously, and said to everyone: "Look, I still have to borrow money from beautiful girls, and I will also sponsor 10,000 yuan." ”

Lin Qiang analyzed that it is difficult to take care of the long-term poverty, and it is not a fundamental way to just send money and gifts to these students, but to find a way to let them support themselves and change the predicament through their own efforts.

"Then Lin Qiang, what do you have a good idea?" asked Secretary Yan.

Lin Qiang smiled and said: "I have an idea, can we set up a company in the name of the class, make full use of the existing resources of the students, and bring business to the company, such as Daqiang and Shibo can play a more role on the basis of not violating the general principles, so that those students can be arranged to the company, and the company's profits can be used as the class fund." ”

"That's a good idea, but how does it work?"

Lin Qiang thought about this idea when the whole class gathered last year, and at that time he also planned to fund the opening of a store with a colorful carving background wall in Fengcheng, and then thought of the store to sell his company's products, worried that people would gossip, so he did not bring it up to everyone, and now his business in Fengcheng has been rolled out, if a company is established in the name of the class, it should not be difficult to introduce some business on his own side.

For example, it is also possible to let those students contact some friends who do decoration, set up an engineering team, participate in the overall home decoration of the real estate company, or undertake the minor repairs and small repairs in the later stage of the real estate.

When Lin Qiang said his specific thoughts, everyone thought it was a pretty good idea.
