Since the reform and opening up, Huaxia has maintained rapid economic growth for many years, which has also greatly stimulated the prosperity of the domestic market. The prices of various materials have skyrocketed, and the wages of workers have increased several times. Now even a small worker who moves bricks and mud has reached a daily wage of more than 100 yuan, and it is said that it is not easy to hire people.

Xinfeng Company's finances have also had a lot of problems, and the funds injected by Leng's Group and Tianlong Group are a little stretched under the economic tide. This gave Li Moxin a lot of headaches.

As soon as he got to work that day, Song Haibo, the manager of the project department, hurriedly walked into the office.

"Mr. Li, those people are on strike again, shouting that they won't do it without a salary increase."

Li Moxin raised her head and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you just raise their wages a few days ago?" What's the trouble? ”

Song Haibo said angrily: "I think they are just not enough to swallow elephants, so they are all fired." ”

Li Moxin stood up and said, "No, where are they fired, where can they find so many workers?" You go back and stabilize them first, and I'll figure it out. ”

"Okay, Mr. Li, you have to hurry up, the company's loss is not small if you delay it for a day." Song Haibo hurriedly walked out.

Li Moxin called the company's treasurer.

"How much money does the company have on its books now?"

"Mr. Li, where is there any money, the prices of steel bars, cement, and sand are rising every day, and we have used up all the advance payments of buyers." The treasurer looked helpless.

"How long is it until the topping out of Buildings 1 to 5?" Li Moxin asked.

"It will take twenty days at the earliest."

"How long is it going to take? It seems that if you want to collect the balance of the buyers, this path will not work. What is the funding gap in your budget? Li Moxin's brows furrowed.

"It will take about 500 million yuan, and at the beginning, our stalls were too big, and dozens of buildings started construction together, but I didn't expect the economic shape to change so quickly, and the prices of workers' wages and raw materials rose too fast."

"Well, I see, I'll figure it out." Li Moxin sent the treasurer away, took the Kun bag from the back of the chair, opened the door and walked out.

Tianlong Group Headquarters, President's Office.

Li Zhongzhong was furious at the phone, "I don't care, this batch of ore must be shipped back, you can think of it yourself, do it first!" ”

Iron ore mining in South Africa is very smooth, production is increasing day by day, and the road to the port is safe under the escort of the Fonmen guard. It's just that the domestic situation has changed, and the price of scrap steel has fallen again and again, which is far lower than the price of imported refined ore powder from abroad, which makes many iron and steel companies choose to purchase scrap steel from China for reprocessing. Tianlong Group's iron ore business has been greatly impacted.

Just now, the person in charge of the South African branch called, saying that many iron and steel companies would rather compensate a huge amount of liquidated damages than buy iron ore from Tianlong Group. However, the wages and storage fees in South Africa are rising every day, and in just half a month, Li Zhongzhong has lost more than 100 million, which makes him feel anxious.

There was a knock on the office door, and Li Xin walked in.

"Dad, just now Huaxia Bank called, saying that we have a loan of 200 million yuan due tomorrow, and they hope to repay it first."

"Did the governor call personally?" Li Zhongzhong asked.

"No, it's the business manager of the bank." Li Xin replied.

Li Zhongzhong had an ominous premonition, in the past, the president of the bank had personally called or visited the door when the loan expired, how could he let a small business manager handle it this time? Could it be that the bank doesn't want to continue to release this money?

"Okay, I see, you go out first."

After sending Li Xin away, Li Zhongzhong picked up his mobile phone and called the president of Huaxia Bank.

"President Sun, I'm Li Zhongzhong, hehe, do you have time tonight? It's been a long time since we've sat together. ”

"Hehe, it's unfortunate, I'm going abroad to investigate, and it won't take half a month to come back, Mr. Li, your loan should be repaid first, the monetary base has been tightened recently, and I will release it to you when it is more relaxed." The governor surnamed Sun spoke very politely, but Li Zhongzhong still heard the meaning of prevarication.

"President Sun, since your time is so precious, I won't bother much, I'll transfer two million to your account when I go back, and you can go out and have more money." Li Zhongzhong said.

"Mr. Li, you misunderstood what I meant, I really don't need it this time, even if I take your money, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, the policy dictates, I can't help it, that's it, I'm busy!" The other end hung up the phone, and a busy beep came from the phone.

"Grandma, what the hell! At the beginning, I came to the door to beg for me to lend money, but now it is good, and the incense is not working. Li Zhongzhong was so angry that he almost dropped his phone on the ground.

At that moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in!" Li Zhongzhong roared angrily.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Angry with whom? Li Moxin pushed the door and walked in, and she could hear that her father's tone was wrong.

"Oh, it's nothing, Mo Xin, why are you free to come over?" Li Zhongzhong knows that his daughter's company is very busy, and the father and daughter rarely see each other during the day.

"Dad, Xinfeng Company's finances are in trouble, those workers are on strike to demand a salary increase, and the material supplier is also asking for payment to pick up the goods, you see, ......" Li Moxin noticed that her father's face was getting more and more ugly, and stopped talking interestingly.

"I knew that there would be problems sooner or later, and I didn't agree to open so many real estate projects at one time, but Leng Tianhao just didn't listen, let's see the problem. Mo Xin, how big is the funding gap? ”

"A minimum of 500 million is needed." Li Moxin said.

"What? So much, huh? Li Zhongzhong gasped. If it happened half a year ago, he wouldn't have cared at all, but now the Sky Group is also short of money.

It was the first time Li Moxin heard such frustrating words from her father's mouth, and she couldn't help but look at her father in surprise.

"How long will it take for Buildings 1 to 5 to be topped out?" Li Zhongzhong also thought of a way to collect the house payment.

"I asked, and it will take twenty days at the earliest." Li Moxin replied.

According to the contract with the buyer, the buyer of the building is required to pay the balance of the ceiling, but it seems that this method will not work.

"That's it, let's go find Leng Tianhao, he can't ignore it at this time." Li Zhongzhong got up and said.

Leng Tianhao, the president of the Leng Group, was leisurely feeding the goldfish at home at this time, the sudden economic crisis had little impact on the Leng Group, although he also lost a lot of money during this time, but a few hundred million yuan is nothing to him at all, the market economy is like this, lose today and earn tomorrow!

His wife Lu Mei walked up to her side and asked, "Old Leng, Xinfeng Company doesn't know what the situation is?" ”

Leng Tianhao smiled: "It's all in this form now, how good can it be?" Look at it, it won't be long before Li Zhongzhong will come to the door with a cheeky face. ”

Lu Mei seemed a little unbearable, "I heard you call the grandson of Huaxia Bank that day, isn't it too unkind to do this." ”

"! What do you know? The mall is like a battlefield, not much worse than a bayonet, not to mention that we are all for our son, besides, won't I save him when the time comes. Leng Tianhao glared at his wife dissatisfied, thinking that she was troublesome.

At this time, Leng Tianhao's mobile phone rang, and the call was from Li Zhongzhong.

"Mr. Leng, where are you? I'd like to meet you. ”

"Yikes! Loyalty, unfortunately, I am accompanying a few very important foreign businessmen, do you have any urgent matters? Leng Tianhao's face showed a smug smile.

"Really? There are some things I want to say to my face, or else, you can give me a call when you are free. Li Zhongzhong said helplessly.

"Oh, well, I guess it's going to be tomorrow morning. Why don't you go straight to my office tomorrow morning, and we'll see you there, so let's do it first. Leng Tianhao hung up the phone and simply called on mute, he didn't plan to answer Li Zhongzhong's call today.

"Dad, what did Leng Tianhao say?" Li Moxin asked with concern.

"Humph! The old fox didn't know what the hell he was thinking, so I'll wait until tomorrow to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. Li Zhongzhong snorted and sat back in his chair.

"Dad, what should I do about Xinfeng Company?" Li Moxin asked.

"Wait until tomorrow, the child cries and hugs his mother, Leng Tianhao will not care."

Li Moxin nodded silently, she didn't know what was wrong, she suddenly had a bad premonition......
