CHAPTER XIX

In my last life, my two favorite sentences were "Those who offend my Chinese Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away" and "As long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem". It's fascinating to think about the strength behind the people who can say such bold words and put them into practice.
In my last life, I always liked to say things like this. Even if you talk too much, you feel like you're laughing at yourself and laughing at your own incompetence. When my wife Yanyan passed away, I didn't have the money to buy a shengyue cake, so I drew a three-layer large shengyue cake on white paper and gave it to her. At that time, I said, "The problems in this world that can be solved with money are not problems." The raw cakes in the cake shop can be bought by anyone who has money. And this is the life cake painted by Bai Quanyi, and there is only one such cake in the world. My wife, Yanyan, smiled and took the cake I painted, and said quietly: "Unfortunately, for our family, the problem that needs to be solved with money is the biggest problem." ”
I giggled impatiently. I vowed in my heart that one day I would make a lot of money. One day, I'm going to say generously, "Money is not an issue." "Then I threw ten or twenty times the money and let all the problems be solved in front of me.
In fact, money is really not everything. The phrase "a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem" was originally intended to tell people that many precious things in life, such as friendship, loyalty, affection, love, health, happiness, etc., cannot be bought with money. However, with the development of the reform economy, people pay more and more attention to the role of money. The status of money in people's lives has skyrocketed to the point of overwhelmingness. Money becomes an important weight to measure a person. And I was a proponent of this deviant notion until I died, and I realized that I had been blinded by the desire for money and had neglected many precious things.
After being reborn, I carefully reminisced about the warmth and beauty of my previous life. I swear to do it all over again, and I'm going to cherish them so much. As long as there is enough money. So I wasn't in too much of a hurry to make money after I was reborn. But things in the world are always impatient, when you think that the money is enough to spend, only to find that the money in your hand is far from enough.
Shangguan Yu's father, Shangguan Jinhong, was also a victim and partnered with a few friends to start a business. Tens of thousands of dollars were invested before and after. Renting a house, buying office supplies, etc., are almost all the money taken by Shangguan Jinhong. The other partners are the owners of the white wolf with empty gloves. No way, sometimes it's more important to have a way in this world. These well-connected friends contact the development office with one hand and the buyer with the other. The original plan was to subcontract the land directly to the downstream developer after it was granted. These few people can make millions of dollars with their mouths. But things suddenly changed, and downstream developers decided not to buy the land due to financial constraints. If you stop it in time, you will lose some small money invested in the early stage. But people are always greedy. Because the land has already been approved, several people will simply do it themselves. So he forged the asset certificate to get a bank loan. To say that a few of Shangguan Jinhong's friends are still very well-connected. They really borrowed this loan. As for the means used, the hand relationship is not enough for outsiders.
Just when Shangguan Jinhong was full of joy and thought that he was finally going to become a big entrepreneur after many years of petty fighting, there was a problem with the bank loan. The supervisor in charge of giving them the loan was arrested by the prosecutor's office because of financial problems. Even their loans were re-examined and suspended. At this time, the land purchase agreement between them and the Development Office had been signed. The total amount of the agreement is up to 70 million yuan, and the payment is required within 100 days. Where do they go to raise this money?
People often say that it is easy to get to know people. Sometimes it's okay to go through the back door and get into trouble. Shangguan Jinhong's friend is indeed not small, otherwise he would not be able to get hundreds of acres of land. But this time his relationship was in a big way. Before the payment was made, the land transfer procedures were first handled through the relationship. Now that the loan is yellow, there is no money, and the development office will not do it. Isn't this a clear scam?
If it was a normal matter, it would have been handed over to the judicial authorities long ago. However, the land in this transaction originally had a lot of dark box work and human relationships. The staff of the Development Office itself are also inextricably linked. Therefore, they only demanded that the full payment be made on time in accordance with the agreement and not sue the company. However, if the full payment cannot be made on time, the people of the development office have no choice but to take legal channels. Because no one can bear the responsibility for such a large deficit. Being defrauded can only be regarded as their work disadvantage, at most.
Seventy million is not a small amount, although a few friends of Shangguan Jinhong have great powers, they can't get so much money for a while. However, people with vast magical powers have magical powers when they do things, and they have the same magical powers when they run away. Seeing that things were not good, they all evaporated from the world. When Shangguan Jinhong realized the seriousness of the situation, he was the only one left in charge of the entire company.
When Shangguan Yu and I arrived in H City, Shangguan Yu's father was in such a state. I didn't have to ask for money, so I could only watch the deadline for payment approaching day by day, and I was sent to court.
Shangguan Yu's father did not want to be sued. Because as one of the legal persons of the company, it has to bear the corresponding legal responsibility. If convicted of fraud, the other principal personnel will be sentenced to 10 or 20 years in prison, and he will also be sentenced to one or two years as a minor officer. But the others ran away, and they couldn't catch it for the time being. So the result is that other people are out of the law. He was the only one in prison. But if he doesn't want to go to jail, the creditors don't agree that he will only pay his own one-percent debt. Demand full repayment. Otherwise, sue. This kind of death cycle is like a rope for life, tightly strangling Shangguan Jinhong's neck.
"Daughter, Dad is really going to jail this time. I have to take care of my mother at home. ”
"Dad, don't say that, we're here to help you figure it out."
"What else can I think of. Seventy million. That's 70 million. Where can we raise so much money, even if we have assets now, it will not be approved in a month. ”
"It's all your fault, my mother has long told you not to fool around outside. How good it is to go to work honestly. ”
"Alas, it's too late to say anything now."
"Dad, don't worry, Bai Quanyi will help us figure it out."
"Just you brought this classmate, what are your parents doing? Is it a provincial official or a bank president? ”
When Shangguan Yu was talking to his father, I kept looking at the agreement between the company and the development office. Hearing Shangguan Yu's father's question, I raised my head and replied, "My mother is a middle school teacher, and my father is a worker. Shangguan Jinhong's expectant gaze immediately dimmed. Shangguan Yu twisted his father's arm on the side, probably thinking that such a problem hurt me. In fact, it is not to blame him for being disappointed, what can an ordinary teacher and a child from a working family help?
I didn't care about Shangguan Yu's father's obvious disappointed expression, and then said, "Uncle, I just took a cursory look at the materials. I don't think things are as bad as I thought. ”
"Bai Quanyi, you really have a way!" Hearing my words, Shangguan Yu asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, Uncle will be fine. But I'd like to go to the target site first. I shook the folder in my hand and said.
"Really? If I don't have to go to jail this time, I'll go back to work. I worked in a rubber shoe factory without pay. My archival relationship is still there. I have a good relationship with Lao Wang, the personnel director of the factory. I told him that I would be able to go back to work. "Although Shangguan Yu's father didn't trust me very much, at this time, he was sick and went to the doctor, and a straw of hope had to be grasped to death.
The land granted by Shangguan Jinhong's company from the development zone is actually three discontinuous plots. The largest of them is 150,000 square meters, and the smallest is only 60,000 square meters. The total area is 300,000 square meters. All three plots are now on the outskirts of H City, but H City's economic development is second to none in the country. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these three pieces of low-lying wasteland will become a prime location in H City in the near future. It is precisely because of this that Shangguan Jinhong and his friends came up with the idea of reselling these lands. However, although they had the vision to see the value of these lands, they did not expect that in the next few years, real estate in H City would grow at a rate faster than people imagined. The reason why I wanted to go to the site to see the land is because the smallest of the three plots of land in my memory was later built by the developer into the most expensive commercial and residential community in the country. The average room price is as high as 160,000 yuan per square meter. The future income of this piece of land alone is far from being able to be stopped by 70 million or 700 million.
Standing on the wasteland, everyone's mood is different. Shangguan Jinhong was frustrated and disappointed, while I was excited. When I traveled to H City, standing on the tallest building in Asia, the tour guide pointed to a real estate in the distance and said to us, guess how much a house over there costs a square meter? The place she was pointing to is now at my feet.
"Uncle, there is a lot of room for appreciation in this land." I confirmed that the land under my feet was the address of the real estate that set a record for housing prices, and then said to Shangguan Yu's father.
"Needless to say, if it weren't for the problem of funds, my business would have been profitable." Shangguan Jinhong still wanted to blow a few words, but Shangguan Yu glared at him and stopped talking.
"Uncle, you only own one percent of the company's shares now. You take all the shares of the company. I'll figure out how to fund it. I said. Now that you can make money, of course you don't want to cheapen others.
"You have seventy million?" Shangguan Jinhong asked in disbelief. He originally thought that when I said there was a solution, I meant to help him in legal ways. I didn't expect me to let him take over the whole plot.
"Not yet, but I promise you that you will be able to raise the money within the stipulated deadline." I said confidently. The stock market and the lottery are two places that are infinitely risky for others, like my own wallet.
"Nope." Shangguan Jinhong's head shook like a rattle. "Tell me you're not the first to raise money. I'm now in jail for a year or two at most for my stake in the company. If I take the shares of the entire company, I will go to prison for decades, and I will cheapen those few boys for nothing. ”
"But if you don't take the whole company next. After I pay you back, I don't want to cheapen other people. "I didn't care about money, but I was sure that I could make a huge profit or I was not willing to give it to someone who didn't care.
"Anyway, after suffering a loss once, I won't fall for the same fool again. Unless there are 70 million in front of me now, I won't take over the whole company. Shangguan Jinhong said firmly. Shangguan Yu watched from the side, although he didn't know where I got so much confidence, but when he saw Shangguan Jinhong's uncooperative attitude, he still complained; "Dad, why are you like this. Bai Quanyi is here to help you. ”
"Help me, who doesn't know that this land is profitable. But where is the money? Shangguan Jinhong said and rolled his eyes and said, "Since you are so confident, little friend, just give you this piece of land." ”
