Chapter Twenty-Four: Follow the Trend and Ride the Momentum!
"What's wrong?"
Wang Xiaochuan took a sip of the drink in front of him, he didn't drink. In fact, he knew that Li Hong didn't like to drink either, but since Li Hong worked in a state-owned enterprise, he couldn't avoid socializing, and he really drank a lot in the past few days.
Li Hong let out a long sigh, seemed to be organizing the language, and waited for a while before he began to speak.
After listening for a while, Wang Xiaochuan gradually understood.
It turned out that Li Hong's company had been operating poorly in recent years, and now it has been operating at a loss for two consecutive years, and it is difficult to pay wages on time.
Originally, he had already made a decision to go to the provincial capital to find a temporary job and develop there. turned out to be on the shelf, which made him disgusting.
Things would have been a good thing.
Li Hong's immediate boss is a well-eyed figure, who originally wanted to climb the ladder within a state-owned enterprise, and finally move from business to politics, or be the leader of a large company. As a result, seeing that the unit was gradually failing, I also thought about finding another way out.
Li Hong's boss had a wide path, and it didn't take long to find an opportunity. Li Hong's company, an energy company, intends to rent out several freight railway platforms that have been idle for a long time to increase income because of the dilemma of the past few years.
One of the stations is on a line that has recently been connected to an intercontinental railway to Central Asia, which can go as far as Eastern Europe and northeastern Africa, and according to inside information, this line will be very prosperous in the coming years, and 30% of the exports of the entire North will be shipped from here!
If they can take the plane now, in a few years, they will set up a railway transportation company with the platform, and they will not worry about making money even if they are lying down!
Li Hong was naturally very moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a few days and discussing it with his family, he decided to get involved. After finding the boss, the boss naturally did not refuse the money. Soon he used the money from different sources to set up a transportation company, and then borrowed heavily from banks.
Herein lies the problem!
When Li Hong's boss borrowed money, in order to obtain more credit, he secretly borrowed the name of the company! The matter was not exposed, as long as the money is made in the future and the principal and interest can be repaid on time, the bank's lending managers will not care about it! These tricks will not be exposed.
But something went wrong in another place, and the matter was directly involved.
In fact, Li Hong's boss is only a participant in this so-called huge plan to set up a transportation company, and the transportation company he registered is only a branch of the entire transportation group. The real lead is someone else.
And the mastermind behind the scenes was suddenly arrested because of corruption, and Shun Teng found out about it, and Li Hong's boss's problem broke out, and he was also arrested.
Although it didn't take long for him to be released on parole, the plan to form a transportation company naturally fell to naught.
Li Hong was very anxious and immediately went to ask for his own investment money. He borrowed the bride price money from his wife, and mortgaged his wedding car to the small loan company, so he made up a full 300,000 yuan!
300,000 yuan, with his salary, it will take at least seven or eight years to earn it back! And thirty percent of them are still burdened with not low interest!
However, most of the money has already been spent by the boss, and he is not the only one who goes to collect debts, and even the bank has sent people to block the door to collect debts. Li Hong's boss used the name of the transportation company when he borrowed the money, but the transportation company would definitely ignore Li Hong's pawn, and finally had to ask Li Hong's boss for it.
As a result, Li Hong hasn't even asked for a dime back until now......
"Tsk...... Your lives...... It's so rich......"
Wang Xiaochuan smashed his mouth, after listening to Li Hong's narration, he only felt that the things he had experienced during this time were not much worse than him, they were all so shocked. The difference is just that he made a fortune, but Li Hong accompanied his wife......
"Don't be sarcastic! During this time, I didn't dare to go home, and every time I saw my wife, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill in...... Fortunately, I didn't mortgage the house at the beginning, otherwise you would have to go to Shuangyun Reservoir to find my old classmate now......"
Li Hong raised his head and drained the wine in the glass, slammed it on the table, and let out a long breath, obviously depressed to the extreme.
"Then what are you looking for me for? I can't seem to help you with that, either? ”
Wang Xiaochuan looked at Li Hong puzzled. His father was just an ordinary self-employed man, and he only made some money in his life, and he bought two houses in a small town. If Li Hong plans to borrow money from him for temporary turnover, even if he has no money on hand, he can more or less support Li Hong out. I used to ask my father for money when I was in school, but now I have been gnawing for so long, let alone it, but Li Hong obviously has no intention of borrowing money.
"I'm not asking you to help me beg for money, but I'm really determined to get out of here this time. What kind of climate can a good man become in this small city for the rest of his life? …… I've heard that you can find a good job abroad? Can...... Introduce me to it too? ”
Li Hong said that he looked at Wang Xiaochuan with some embarrassment, he had never begged anyone in his life, and now it was the first time.
"Huh? Belch...... You mean to go to Africa to work? ”
Wang Xiaochuan didn't react at first, but later realized that Li Hong had taken the nonsense he used to coax his parents seriously.
He just casually made up a nonsense before, one is to explain the origin of his money, and the other is to avoid that he will really die one day and bring too much impact to his parents.
Now seeing that Li Hong actually took his words seriously, and begged for his own head, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Wang Xiaochuan thought silently.
In fact, it is not difficult to help Li Hong, but how to help?
Now he still has more than two million in his hand, and he directly gives him money, and he is definitely unwilling to accept it with his character. But Li Hong can't go on an adventure in the apocalyptic world with him, how can he help him in the real world? Did you really fool him into Africa and let him follow the ox to do it vigorously?
Li Hong is his old classmate and good friend, and he doesn't want to hurt his friend like this.
Wait a minute!
Transport company ...... Central Asia......
Wang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and an idea that had been tangled for a long time suddenly appeared in his head!
Li Hong saw that Wang Xiaochuan was deep in thought, his brows were tightened, and he thought he was very embarrassed, so he sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, forget it, you are not a political leader, and you don't have the power to help me in the future." Alas...... I'd better find another way, I don't believe that I won't be able to earn back the 300,000 in a few years! ”
As soon as Li Hong pushed the table, he was about to stand up.
"Wait!"
Wang Xiaochuan hurriedly pressed his shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry to go to Africa, I really have a job here, I have to do it, I just don't know if you want to." ”
"What work? Is it profitable? ”
Wang Xiaochuan smiled mysteriously.
"Of course you make money, and haven't you already decided on this job?"
"What?" Li Hong looked at him blankly.
"Open a shipping company!"
