096. The crisis is also a feast

"The international terminal is not going to be sold, but the port company is going to restructure its assets, to be precise, it is a debt restructuring." This is the news that Uncle Mo told Xiaohua, it turns out that his old man has already understood the relevant situation.

After returning from the construction aid project headquarters, Man Man returned to the neighborhood of the Poseidon Clan, while Li Xiaoyang and Hua Zhenxing went to the headquarters to report the situation. Of course, Ke Mengchao, who was in charge of the headquarters, was not dissatisfied with the results of the talks, and said that he would quickly implement the relevant agreements, and Li Xiaoyang would be responsible for promoting the specific work, and that the procedures for hiring consultants would be completed today.

Then Xiao Hua was called to the pavilion, the three old men sat side by side, Ke Mengchao, the little character in the middle, and Hua Zhenxing stood in front of several people, not even a small bench. Remember when Dafeng Harvest was educated here, the scene was not so serious and formal?

It's still talking about what happened just now, but what Hua Zhenxing said is a little different, first of all, the new tasks released by the system, then the budget funds needed to complete the tasks, and finally mentioned that Manman said that the international terminal may be sold. The latest situation of the international terminal, Uncle Mo has already understood.

The wharf has been built since the colonial era and is now almost 200 years old, and its ownership has been changed several times, and it was nationalized after the independence of the country, and then restructured, and is now operated by the International Port Company.

It is a joint venture in which the local government of Sosogang holds a 40% stake and the rest of the shareholders are private individuals as well as overseas investors. The main dilemma for international terminals is that business volumes have plummeted, revenues have also fallen sharply, and several debts are already overdue and unpaid. At this rate, it may be difficult to repay future debts that will mature.

Unable to repay debts as they fall due, they may enter bankruptcy liquidation, but the situation of international terminals is very special. Because the wharf and port are both asset-heavy projects, and their replacement costs are very high, it can be said that even with all the current financial resources of Huanxiang Industry, it is impossible to rebuild such a wharf from scratch.

The international terminal is very important, it is the main channel for the import and export of goods in the port of Africa, and it is also the channel for controlling and calculating the tariff that can be collected, and controlling it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the city.

Led by the internationally renowned investment bank Millin Group, it organized several major creditors such as Huifeng Bank to carry out a debt restructuring plan and divest all relevant debts to a new overseas investment company.

This company became the sole creditor of the port company by undertaking debts, and then exchanged debts for equity and became its largest shareholder.

But this plan was rejected by the port company, and the Millin Group proposed a new plan. Since the port company had pledged a lot of terminal assets at the time of borrowing, the creditors also stripped the mortgage rights to the new company when they divested their debts. If the port authority is unable to repay future debts due, it can reassess the remaining terminal assets and continue to mortgage them to the company......

In short, the restructuring plan is very complex, and if the operating conditions of the international terminal do not improve in the short term, it is likely that all the terminal assets will fall into the hands of the overseas investment company at a very low price.

The port company can choose not to pay back, but it is not afraid that it will default on its debts. If the debt restructuring is not carried out as required, it will not be long before the international terminal will not be able to operate normally, the relevant import and export activities will be suspended, and the ports of several miles and Africa will lose subsequent tariff revenues.

Old man Yang finally concluded: "Every local crisis in this world is often a feast, and the most valuable assets are often sold at low prices. Some people see the benefits in the crisis, and then they are used to provoking the crisis and devaluing the assets they want to acquire. ”

Hua Zhenxing asked worriedly: "Then what should we do, just watch the international terminal being taken away?" ”

Ke Mengchao: "If the international terminal can still operate normally, no matter who it belongs to, it doesn't matter to us. I am afraid that after the change of ownership, someone will control the wharf and specifically target us, creating obstacles to the import and export of materials of Huanxiang Industry.

None of these things can be worried about at the moment, we will keep an eye on them, and try to solve this hidden danger when we have the opportunity. ”

Old man Yang added: "Just keep an eye on it, there are many things in the world, so you should learn." ”

Uncle Mo added: "No matter how the international dock is operated, the Poseidon Gang and the New Alliance are very important, because there is no other person here who can replace these staff. Without our people, the dock would not be able to function. ”

After drinking a big meal, Hua Zhenxing, whose mentality was just a little inflated, was suppressed by the three old men again. Even if it is a small non-so-port, there are many things he can't do.

Even if he has the cultivation of the Three Realms, he is already the "boss behind the scenes" of the new alliance, and there is still a long way to go to change the old pattern here. Not to mention the creation of a happy country and the establishment of a new world pattern.

Early the next morning, Locke arrived at the grocery store as promised, and Manman was already there. Locke's state has recovered, but he still looks a little tired, I don't know if it is the impact of the old injury, or the tiredness of working with Wang Fengshou in the past two days.

Man Man took out a small porcelain bottle, the same one that was used last time, and poured out three dark cyan pills from it and handed them to Locke, each slightly larger than a peanut.

This is what Hua Zhenxing just refined last night, and the raw material is the thousand-year-old immortal core that Yang Tehong gave him last time. Based on his own experience in taking and transporting, Hua Zhenxing has basically understood its spiritual properties.

The rhizome of the desert rose, which has grown for more than 1,000 years, is refined into a thousand-year-old immortal core, which is actually to extract its physical essence. And to further refine it into the elixir in front of you is to condense its spiritual properties and take its effect as a catalyst.

The three old men thought that Xiao Hua might be able to refine the Thousand Years Old Pill with the cultivation of the Three Realms, but they didn't expect that he would make something similar that night.

Compared with the "authentic" Chitose Pill, the Pill that Xiao Hua was refining at the moment was still a little hot, but it definitely did not affect the taking, and the size was in line with the dosage, in cultivation terms, it was just the effect of running for a week. 139 Reading Network

The process of refining the thousand-year-old immortal core into a thousand-year-old pill is irreversible. The thousand-year-old immortal core can be used as one of the raw materials for refining Chunrong Dan, and it can be taken by ordinary people through the ratio of other ingredients, but the Chitose Pill is already a monk's pill.

The vast majority of the elixirs used by monks have their corresponding requirements for taking them and the method of transporting them after taking them, so ordinary people cannot take them, even monks.

Chitose Dan has the effect of tonic and invigorating, just like the Chitose orchid in the desert, it seems to have long since died, but it grows quickly when the rainy season comes.

This elixir was not used to treat Locke's injuries, but to assist him in cultivating the Yuan Cultivation Technique. Locke already has three realms of cultivation, so Hua Zhenxing can do this.

The so-called "yuan" in the art of nourishing the yuan refers to the vitality, which is similar to the so-called "essence" in the inner pill technique, and the introduction to the art of nourishing the yuan is to start from the inner vitality.

In principle, the Yuan Cultivation Technique itself is the best way to heal injuries, as long as Locke can successfully enter and cultivate to the Second Realm, his old injuries will be healed without medicine.

Locke has already cultivated in the three realms, but it does not mean that he can cultivate the Yuan Cultivation Technique to the second realm, which is still two different things. For him, the art of raising the yuan originally meant a kind of reference, but Hua Zhenxing now requires him to take the cultivation technique as the main skill and practice it from scratch.

Locke's age is on the older side, and he has old injuries, and his flaw is the lack of vitality in his body, so he needs to use the Qiantose Pill to assist him in getting started and cultivating, and three pieces are enough.

Hua Zhenxing's thousand-year-old immortal core at hand refined a total of five thousand-year-old pills, and the other two were left to Manman. Manman's situation is different from Locke's, she doesn't need the Chitose Pill, but after her cultivation is introduced, this pill can help her "increase her strength", or it can be used as a backup healing medicine.

As for Hua Zhenxing himself, he can also take Chitose Lan next.

The annual heavy rainy season has just arrived, and it is the time of harvesting, and there are more than 20,000 millennial orchids waiting for him to discover, of which more than 200 are ready for use. If they are all used to refine the thousand-year-old immortal core, and then refine the thousand-year-old pill, there will be so much that they can be eaten as food.

Hua Zhenxing didn't realize one thing at the moment, in the next year or so, his "alchemy" task was unimaginably heavy, unless his skills increased greatly, he would have to use the alchemy workshop of Jin Dianxing.

If he uses the Alchemy Workshop, it will not be considered to complete the system task. Now it's good, he remembered to refine the thousand-year-old immortal core and the thousand-year-old pill again.

Locke was very apprehensive when he came, thinking that Hua Zhenxing would ask him about his origin and the secret method he had learned, but Hua Zhenxing didn't mention this stubble at all, and directly taught him the Yuan Cultivation Technique, and explained it very carefully in combination with his own cultivation experience.

Locke is not a little white sweet like Manman, he immediately realized that this is a inheritance with a complete system, although Hua Zhenxing is only teaching the foundation part, but on this basis, breaking through each layer of the realm will have infinite possibilities.

These "possibilities" are personalized, like Manman's water control and Locke's paper airplanes. There is no specific application of these things in the art of cultivating the yuan, but it is the foundation of cultivation that supports all these means.

Locke has his own secret inheritance system, but the inheritance has been broken because his teacher and companions are gone, and now he sees another hope.

Although Hua Zhenxing's cultivation may not be higher than him, this set of Yuan cultivation techniques is clearly a ladder to a higher realm. Teach him without saying a word, and answer all questions, although this child is not very old, there are only two words in Locke's heart - atmosphere.

After explaining the cultivation method of the Yuan Cultivation Technique and the assessment standards of each realm, Hua Zhenxing told Locke that after going back, he would practice on his own, and he could use the Thousand Years Pills to assist in getting started.

In the case that the old injury has not healed, he can still use the Chitose Pill to assist in cultivation after he enters, and it should be no problem to reach the second-level level, and it will be natural to break through to the third-level level at that time.

Locke felt that it was redundant to say thank you, anyway, he listened to what Hua Zhenxing explained, and took the initiative to report on the "work" of the past two days.

In Locke's view, with the grassroots already firmly under control, it is not too difficult to deal with the superstructure of the North Bay District with Wang Fengshou's means. In time, it will not be difficult to replace the government departments at all levels with their own members of the new alliance, and then reorganize them as required.

But Wang Fengshou also took on another task, which was to eradicate the high-level escapees of Beigang freight and civilized trade as soon as possible. This matter is more complicated and trivial, because no matter how great the ability is, you have to find out those people first.

Wang Fengshou is not very familiar with the port of Africa, and Locke has been helping for the past two days, using the original channel to find out the news, and then going to the suspected location to investigate. His elusive paper airplane is perfect for this, especially at night. He is compiling a hiding map according to the list, and then Wang Fengshou can go to "target killing" one by one.

Hua Zhenxing said: "You tell me the situation at any time, and if you encounter a difficult bone, I will also bring a guy to help." Tell Wang Fengshou that no matter how high the cultivation is, he can't be strong, and I have eighty-two recoilless cannons here. ”

The so-called 82 recoilless gun is actually a shoulder-mounted single-engine rocket launcher with a caliber of 82 mm.

There is actually this kind of thing in the cellar of the grocery store, with ten rounds of ammunition, and Old Man Yang doesn't know where to get it, he told Hua Zhenxing yesterday that he can take it out and use it if necessary.
