Li Siwen leisurely cocked Erlang's legs and explained calmly: "Xu Sankui thought that if he controlled the bank, he would be able to control my liquidity, but he didn't expect that I would take this step recklessly. ”

"Do you know you're taking a risk?"

Zheng Jiayu is more anxious than ever, in other words, she usually has the most to talk to the other party, but today's situation is different.

"I'll settle an account for you." Li Siwen tapped the desk twice with his fingers, and said in a straight voice: "For this expansion, Chen Tiangang took out two million savings, Sister Jiang took out seven million, plus Song Xueli provided me with 10 million, Caozhou loan 5 million, and Brother Lu Shuhang prepared 4 million for me. A total of 28 million. ”

"In just one month, all this money has been lost, and every day we pass now, it is the life of Journey to the West. But I don't want you to know how much money we lost, but I want you to understand that although these people who support me have money, such a large number is also a nerve-wracking existence for them, and once I fail, it will not only be Journey to the West that will be ruined, but also these relatives and friends who lent me money. ”

Li Siwen's voice was low, and he said word by word: "They believe in me, and they will support me, including you, because they believe in me, they stay in Journey to the West." So at this juncture, do you think I can back down? Not to mention loan sharks, even if I were asked to rob the money now, I would be able to do it. Not for anything else, just to not disappoint the people around you, just to not bow your head in front of your opponent. ”

His every word was sonorous and powerful, and every word of his was resounding, and when a heavy and firm voice sounded in the office, even if it was only Zheng Jiayu who listened, he felt an unprecedented shock.

I saw Li Siwen slowly get up, walked to the window, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and continued: "I used to think that living for myself is called living to understand, but one day I suddenly had an epiphany, when you live and understand, life will lose its meaning. ”

"People live for a lifetime, grass and trees for an autumn, and I don't want to leave any regrets in this life. Jiayu, my goal is not only this, not only in Qizhou, not only in Huaxia, I hope you can understand. ”

Zheng Jiayu was silent, looking at Li Siwen's back, she suddenly felt that she had seen through this man, and suddenly felt that the other party was even more strange, but no matter how chaotic her heart was, it couldn't change the direction of her heart, it was an invisible attraction.

"The time when we signed the contract with Qindao City is March 6, the expiration time of the VAM agreement is June 6, today is April 15, there are 51 days left, if we lose an average of 300,000 yuan per day, we need more than 15 million, plus the old industrial base to make an investment of 5 million, we have to borrow at least 20 million." Zheng Jiayu seriously counted it, and added at the end:

"And I've heard that loan sharks are very volatile, and if lenders feel that we can't repay, they will collect the debt even if it is not due to be repaid.

In other words, June 6 is an inflection point, if we complete the VAM agreement by then, it will naturally boost the confidence of the entire chain, but if it can't be completed, then Journey to the West will be thunderous.

Another point we also need to consider is how to replenish funds in the future, even if the VAM agreement is completed at that time. After all, there are too many unstable factors, and it is still unknown whether it can bring down those food merchants in three months, and even if it drags them down, Journey to the West will not be able to recover a large amount of cash in a short period of time. ”

Zheng Jiayu said a lot in one breath, and analyzed all the problems that Journey to the West could face, and at this moment she was more serious than ever, showing her support for this man with her actions.

In fact, it was not that she did not support the other party before, but she had her own opinions, and it was not easy for her to obey unconditionally.

At this moment, Li Siwen also smiled, and everything was silent.

——

Borrowing usury is the simplest and most crude approach, but at the same time, it is also the most dangerous, because only when the company has problems in the capital chain, will it take this step desperately.

On April 18th, Li Siwen received good news, Jiang Li and Chen Tiangang came forward and jointly loaned 13 million to Li Siwen, and Wu Hao Wu Ye of Caozhou City also raised 5 million for Li Siwen, and 18 million cash was instantly injected into Journey to the West.

But the bad news is that he borrowed usury and Xu Sankui also knew about it.

"You mean, Li Siwen borrowed loan sharks?" Xu Sankui stood up suddenly: "Is the news accurate?" ”

"It's the wind released by the Hao brothers, these two brothers have been making money by lending money all these years, and what they say must not be bad." Wu Jun said.

"Damn, how did I forget this stubble." Xu Sankui patted his head: "In the current situation of Journey to the West, they dare to borrow money?" Crazy? How much did you borrow? ”

"The main reason is that Jiang Liang and Chen Tiangang came forward, these two are well-known figures on Qizhou Road after all, and the Hao brothers dare not offend, I heard that they borrowed 13 million, and the money was made up by the Hao brothers and some partners."

"Thirteen million, thirteen million......"

Xu Sankui kept chattering.

At this time, Xu Shaojie said with a solemn expression: "Dad, this is not good news!" ”

"Not necessarily."

Xu Sankui pondered for a moment and said: "Stretching out his hand to loan sharks, it means a problem, then the reserve funds of Journey to the West are about to be exhausted, otherwise, which company would take such a risk?" According to the amount of 13 million, he can hold out for a maximum of 40 days, and there are nearly 50 days before the expiration of the VAM agreement, and you must not forget that there is no sign of construction on the side of the old industrial base, which already shows that Li Siwen has reached the stage of the end of the road. ”

"Yes...... But what if he continues to borrow? ”

Xu Shaojie said.

"Hehe, then people don't dare to borrow him." Xu Sankui instructed: "Disclose the matter of the Journey to the West loan shark to the major newspapers, especially the newspapers that cooperate with us, let them write to death, and write the Journey to the West as miserable as possible, by the way, and then contact Lu Ming in Caozhou, and arrange it there." ”

"I heard that the Lu family in Caozhou is about to be destroyed by Li Siwen."

Xu Shaojie replied.

"It's better that way, we'll give him a chance to turn over." Xu Sankui sneered: "Since he has risked his life to fight with me now, I will let him understand what a shopping mall is." ”

Xu Shaojie's eyes rolled, he fully understood his father's intentions, and said with a smile: "Even if he Li Siwen has great ability, even if he can fight Chen Xiaotong, he is not the opponent of our Xu family." ”

The two of them were full of interest, but Wu Jun on the side was bitter, the wrinkles on his forehead were a lot more than some time ago, and he said with bitter water: "President Xu, I know that Li Siwen, this kid will definitely not be able to hold on, but the current situation, we are not having a good time with these food merchants, now the food market is smoky, and every family is losing money, I am afraid that when the time comes, the journey to the west will not fall, we will fall first, a week ago, Fengyuan Beverage Factory was forced to close because it could not pay wages, and this is not the first one." ”

"The price war has reached this level, and it is normal for some food factories to be forced to close." Xu Sankui didn't care.

"But everyone is here to deal with Journey to the West!"

"I said Mr. Wu, how much can you lose in a day now?"

Xu Shaojie asked suddenly.

"There can be 18,000 a day."

Wu Jun replied.

"In this encirclement and suppression of the Journey to the West, the biggest loss is only you and Chu Yu, as for other small factories, the loss of two or three thousand a day has already reached the top. The market share you occupy is small, and the total loss is less than half of Journey to the West, and then look at Journey to the West, you lose more than 300,000 yuan a day, what do you call this loss? ”

Xu Shaojie said with some displeasure.

Wu Jun lowered his head when he was said, and slowed down for a few seconds before saying: "Li Siwen's kid doesn't want to die, but our companies ......"

"Okay, Mr. Wu." Xu Sankui patted Wu Jun gently: "You also heard what I just said, now Li Siwen has been forced to a desperate situation by you, and he will hold on until June 6th, when the market will definitely be yours, the loss is only temporary, and he is really short of money, so let Shao Jie give you 350,000 yuan to use first." ”

Hearing this, Wu Jun felt even more uncomfortable, thirty or fifty thousand? This money has a fart use, he wants to be angry, but how dare he in front of Xu Sankui, not to mention that he is already a grasshopper on the rope, if he doesn't bring down Li Siwen, he can't live in peace at all, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "Don't use it yet, thank you President Xu for your kindness, I'll go back first." ”

When Wu Jun left, Xu Shaojie laughed disdainfully: "This Wu Jun, won't he want to take care of us to borrow money, right?" ”

"As a businessman, how can he like to dig out his own pocket, he wants to let the Xu family also have some blood, but my bottom line is only 35,000."

Xu Shaojie suddenly realized why his father said that just now, and hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, what you said just now is really damaging." ”

"This is called persuading him to retreat in the face of difficulties, and not to attack our family's idea." Xu Sankui said busily: "Go and arrange what I just ordered, I can't let Li Siwen get any more money, even if it's a loan shark." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Due to the Xu family's troubles, in the next few days, the Westward Journey Group borrowed usury at high interest began to spread wildly, and for a while, almost all people who paid attention to this matter thought that the Westward Journey was exhausted, because if a company relied on usury to survive, it was not a long-term solution at all, and it would only make the company fall deeper and deeper until it was finally drowned in the swamp.

In the eyes of everyone, Journey to the West is already cut off from Hong Kong, and the road is poor, but some people think that Li Siwen dares to put his fingers into the usury market, and it is likely that there will be a backhand, but everyone can't understand what else can save Li Siwen and save Journey to the West.

On the evening of April 21, the weather was slightly cool, and the spring night still had the cold of winter, and Li Siwen, who was lying on the bed, received a call from Zhou Wenjing.
