Although the old ship of tens of thousands of tons is cost-effective, Liu Ziguang does not need to transport such a large amount of goods, and the larger the tonnage, the higher the fuel consumption, the more crew members are hired.

Liu Ziguang said this idea, and was immediately opposed by Wei Ziqian, she said vigorously: "If you want to transport goods to West Africa, then you must pass through the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean with complex and harsh sea conditions. ”

After saying these words, Wei Ziqian seemed to feel that his words were a little more intense, and said: "I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, and I'm not in a good mood." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Ziqian, you're right, if you want to do it, you can do it in one step, you go first, and I'll figure out a way in terms of funds." ”

Wei Ziqian nodded, got up and wanted to leave, stopped at the door and said: "By the way, Mr. Liu, Zhicheng Group is preparing for the IPO, and the accounts have been handed over to PricewaterhouseCoopers, and it is difficult to raise funds from there." ”

The sound of the female assistant's high heels hitting the ground gradually faded away, and Liu Ziguang began to rack his brains again to calculate his assets, in the eyes of his parents and neighbors, he was a successful entrepreneur and filial to his son; In the eyes of his friends and brothers, he is the boss of the righteous Bo Yuntian, a tyrant who dominates the black and white, and in the eyes of women, he is an omnipotent, chivalrous and romantic knight, but in front of a scrapped old ship, he is just a shy poor bastard.

In Jiangbei City, a second-tier city, Liu Ziguang is indeed a rich man, with a car and a house, and no worries about food and clothing, but this city also restricts his greater exhibition, whether it is taking the entertainment industry route or taking the industrial route, there are insurmountable bottlenecks, so he has been mixed for more than a year, but in fact, the funds in his hands are only a few million, and most of them are fixed assets that cannot be realized immediately.

The time to spend money finally came, and Liu Ziguang first found his strongest brother Zhuo Li and borrowed money from him.

On the third floor of Huaqing Pond, without waiting for Liu Ziguang to speak, Zhuo Li said with a fluttering eyebrow: "I just took down the comprehensive building at No. 136 Binjiang Avenue, and the rent for ten years is only 12 million, it's so worth it, Huaqing Pond is not convenient for parking, the scale has always been limited, I have been in that place for a long time, fortunately Song Jianfeng left in time, otherwise the brothers would have to starve to death." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Look at you like this, business has been good recently?" ”

"That is, since Han Siqing took office, the soft environment in Jiangbei City has been much better, and our business is making money every day, and I won't tell you anything, I have a daily gross profit." Zhuo Li stretched out a hand and gestured, very angry. threw an imported cigar to Liu Ziguang and said, "By the way, I haven't seen you here for a long time, what's the matter?" ”

"Oh, little things, borrow some money to turn around."

"How much? Say the number. Zhuo Li proudly took out the checkbook and pen.

"The shortfall is about 7 million, which is just an upfront cost, and the follow-up capital investment may be even greater." Liu Ziguang said lightly.

Zhuo Li blinked, and without saying a word, he tore off a blank transfer check and said to him: "You fill it out yourself, go to the bank counter and ask me how much money is in my account, and take it all." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "This is not good, you have just set up a new field, and it is the time to use money, I can't use your money." ”

Zhuo Li was anxious: "What are you talking about, without you I can get to this point today?" My money is your money, what is money, money is a bastard, can you delay the relationship between our brothers for a little money, take it! ”

"Okay, then I'll take it." Liu Ziguang was not hypocritical, took the check and put it in his pocket, chatted a few more words, and then left Huaqing Pool against the cold wind.

In the cold winter, the outside dripping into ice, Liu Ziguang sat in the car and looked at the blank check, or folded it and put it in the wallet, it was regarded as a testimony of brotherhood, Zhuo Li's career was stagnant for half a year, and it was when he needed money when he was just on the track, how could he pull his hind legs.

When I returned to the home of Zhicheng Phase I, I knocked on it twice, and the door opened, revealing Yuan Lin's smiling face, and a little white face on his nose, and when he saw Liu Ziguang, he waved his rolling pin excitedly and said, "Brother-in-law is back." ”

It turned out that the sisters came home as guests, and when the parents saw that the daughter-in-law had finally returned to China, they couldn't close their mouths happily, and the family was making dumplings in the kitchen at this time.

Yuan Lin obediently helped his brother-in-law take off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and was busy pouring hot water and taking slippers, diligent like a little nanny, Fang Fei couldn't stand it in the kitchen, and teased: "Xiaolin, I remember that you never helped your uncle take slippers." ”

"Hee-hee, my brother-in-law is my idol." Yuan Lin said with a hippie smile, the quirky sister-in-law has become the pistachio of the whole family, and no one can take her.

The hot dumplings were on the table, the family reunited and ate the dumplings, and then watched TV and watched the newspaper, Liu Ziguang pulled Fang Fei to the balcony and said: "Discuss something with you, I have an urgent need for that money, can I turn it around first?" ”

Liu Ziguang was talking about the 2.53 million dividends from the sand digging field, although this money was kept by him, but it belonged to Fang Fei's private property.

"Oh, you can just call the shots for our money, and discuss something with me, really." Fang Fei said angrily.

At about nine o'clock, Liu Ziguang drove the Fang Fei sisters home, and when they came back, their parents were sitting on the sand, and the TV was not on, which was quite abnormal.

"Why haven't you rested yet?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"Xiaoguang, sit down, your parents have something to talk to you about."

Liu Ziguang sat down obediently, and his mother spoke first: "First thing, you are not too young, it's time to get married, it used to be because Fang Fei was abroad, and our family didn't have a house, but now these two things don't exist, you have to hurry up." ”

Dad said: "The second thing, I heard that you need money for business, I discussed with your mother, you can't move the money for the wedding, the rest can be given to you, this is 23,000 yuan, a total of three regular passbooks, you can go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw it." ”

Liu Ziguang took the three passbooks and was silent, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world, although this money is not even enough to pay employees, but in the end it is a piece of the parents' hearts.

"Okay, I remember."

"Just remember, let your daughter-in-law in the door early, don't delay any longer." The parents chattered for a while before going back to the room to rest.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Ziguang took Wei Ziqian to the fifth team of geology and mining, inspected the exploration equipment being packed, and met with the leaders π of the fifth team of geology and mining.

To receive such a business, the leaders of the fifth team of geology and mining attach great importance to it, and organize as many as 50 elite soldiers to prepare to go to West Africa, and the exploration team members are also very energetic, and the leader said to Liu Ziguang: "Mr. Liu, our team is tested for a long time and can fight tough battles, please rest assured, the more difficult the place, the more it can show the fine tradition of our fifth team of geology and mining." ”

The leader also said that for their explorers, the Spring Festival gods and horses are all floating clouds, if Party A has a request, the team can come out at any time, but the equipment has to wait, after all, they are all large appliances, and it takes a certain amount of time to pack and transport.

Then the leader in his fifties said to Liu Ziguang with a smiling face: "Mr. Liu, do you see if you can advance part of the exploration fee first......

"No problem." Liu Ziguang immediately gave instructions and asked Wei Ziqian to go back to handle it, and asked the finance department to transfer 500,000 yuan to the fifth team of geology and mining.

On the way back, Liu Ziguang complained again about the shortage of funds, Wei Ziqian couldn't help but say: "Mr. Liu, I think there is a problem with your thinking, you don't have to rely on your own money to operate in business, you must properly raise funds from various channels, no matter how many friends you have, no matter how wide your contacts are, you can't beat the bank." ”

Liu Ziguang suddenly realized and said: "Apply for a loan from the bank in the name of Kestrel Airlines, and use the aircraft as collateral, at least three million can be loaned, plus the money from other channels, it is almost enough." ”

As soon as Liu Ziguang returned to the office, he received a call from Zhuo Li, asking him to come to Huaqing Pond, Liu Ziguang thought something was wrong, but he rushed to see a group of brothers who were mixed on the road in the house, basically all of them were bosses with heads and faces in Jiang'an District, some opened bathing centers, some opened hotels, kTV, car repair shops, and some engaged in construction and earthwork, basically familiar faces.

"Brother Liu wants to raise money to buy a boat and do a big business, don't say anything else, I'll pay two million." Zhuo Li said, placing a check on the table.

"I'll give 500,000." The Scar of the Peace Hotel also pulled out a check that had been prepared long ago.

"I followed." Xuanzi also took out a bank acceptance draft that he had just received and put it on it, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"You think you're playing stud, and you're still with it, okay, I'm going to do it too." Relying on Liu Ziguang's relationship, Mu Sanshui, who has been following the Zhicheng Group to contract the project, also took out 500,000 yuan.

The rest of the people waited for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and they all expressed their intentions more or less, because Bei Xiaoshuai was still learning to fly in Guangdong, Zhuo Li took out 500,000 yuan for him, and raised a total of 5 million in cash.

Liu Ziguang was moved, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, brothers, when the ship is decorated, I invite everyone to go to sea for sightseeing." ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Okay, when the time comes, please go to the gambling boat to open our eyes, and let us see the international standard of the buns." ”

Liu Ziguang looked at Zhuo Li suspiciously, the latter squeezed his eyes at him, and he immediately understood, these guys still thought they were buying a gambling boat, no wonder they were so happy and generous.

But what happened next made him even more confused, as soon as he left the office door, Xiaohong, the senior foreman of Huaqingchi, ran over, and couldn't help but stuff a card into his hand and said: "Brother Liu, a little bit of sisters' hearts, you must take it, it's nothing to lose some money, sisters firmly believe that you will definitely make a comeback!" ”
