Chapter 117
"Ms. Chen, I'll confirm the loan details with you one last time."
In a negotiation room of a certain bank, the bank manager read out word by word: "In order to expand the business, Jin Zhengmei Company has borrowed 1 million yuan from our bank for a period of 5 years..."
Sitting in the armchair, Chen Lanjun crossed her legs slightly and said nothing.
After the bank manager confirmed the information, she took out a fountain pen from the front pocket of her suit, took off the cap, and the golden tip of the pen landed on the paper.
"Okay." Chen Lanjun pushed the contract back and curled the corners of her mouth.
In sharp contrast to her leisurely and contented expression was Feng Jun who was standing behind her.
It was raining outside when the two walked out of the bank door.
Chen Lanjun opened her umbrella and looked back at her sister: "Let's go?"
Feng Jun had a gloomy face and did not move.
This was an expression of anger and worry, Chen Lanjun knew it.
She took a step forward and tried to hold Feng Jun's arm, but as soon as she did so, Feng Jun shook his hand away and avoided her.
Chen Lanjun's help was in vain, but she was not angry. She tilted the umbrella in her hand towards Feng Jun.
"Come on, I'll walk you to the border, and we'll take the train back."
The rain hits the umbrella, dripping, making a dull sound.
Amid the sound of wind and rain, Feng Jun's voice sounded particularly heavy: "You used the restaurant, factory, and store as collateral for this loan."
"The restaurant in Hong Kong is not listed in the directory. Don't worry..."
"Why should I be assured?" Feng Jun interrupted her, his tone stiff, "I know that you kept this out of the way, including transferring some money to my personal account, just so that I can have some protection. But what about you?"
The corners of her eyes were slightly red. "If the sales of the 'Sports Power' drink are not as good as you thought, and you can't pay back the loan, all your hard work over the past two years will be wasted! It will all be a waste! Do you understand?"
Feng Jun became more and more excited as he spoke: "I don't understand. Obviously, our life is already pretty good now. Look, my parents and my little sister have also come to Pengcheng City. Our business is also on track, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. This is already pretty good. Even if you do nothing, the money in your bank account will slowly accumulate. Why do you want to borrow such a large sum of money?"
The wind blew the rain down on her face. Chen Lanjun listened to her sister venting in silence before she said, "Sister, the return on investment in the past few years is the highest. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. So, I would rather take the risk."
"But what if your adventure fails?" Feng Jun turned his head and stared at her. "You've staked your entire fortune. If it fails, you'll be left with nothing."
Chen Lanjun blinked: "Well, I will be assigned a job next year. At worst, I can just go to the assigned unit and work hard, get paid, and at least I will have time to eat."
"you!"
Seeing that her sister was really angry, Chen Lanjun quickly said, "I was just kidding, sister. It doesn't matter even if there is nothing left."
She pulled Feng Jun's sleeve with one hand.
Feng Jun shook it off.
She went to pull it again.
This happened two or three times, and Feng Jun finally lost his temper with her and let her pull him.
Chen Lanjun shook her head like a spoiled child: "I am only 21 years old this year. Even if I have nothing, I can still make a comeback."
What's more, she has confidence in 'athleticism' and believes in its potential.
Feng Jun snorted coldly and walked forward.
"Make a comeback, you big shot, while there is still some time, hurry up and do something."
Chen Lanjun held an umbrella and hurried to follow, but Feng Jun was not walking in the direction of the checkpoint.
"Sister, you're not going back to Hong Kong?"
"What the hell?" Feng Jun's voice, accompanied by the sound of rain, sounded like a ghost howling.
She really couldn't do anything about her sister Chen Lanjun. Seeing Chen Lanjun betting her entire fortune, how could she just sit back and do nothing?
Feng Jun immediately changed the arrangements, asking a familiar store manager to look after the Hong Kong business, and sent his daughter Xixi to her grandmother's home to be raised. He then followed Chen Lanjun and traveled north.
After all, Chen Lanjun hasn't graduated yet and can't leave school for a long time.
If someone really needs to take charge, and Chen Lanjun is too busy with exams to show up, Fengjun can at least do it for her. For example, register a new company for "Sports Power" with a fashionable name, "Sports", which is the transliteration of "sport", and Zhengmei Company and the Fourth Food Factory will jointly hold shares, with 60% and 40% of the shares respectively.
Although it is more troublesome to re-register a company, there is a big advantage that it can make the company's ownership clear to avoid trouble. This move is mainly to prevent some people with crooked ideas, such as what happened to Zheng Mei's furniture factory. When it becomes prosperous, another more powerful person wants to take over. If the rights and responsibilities are not so clear, it is really possible to make wedding clothes for others.
Dozens of boxes of samples that were originally customized were also sent to Suicheng, filling up the first floor of the rental house under the banyan tree.
"This canned drink looks really high-end." Pang Xiaopeng took a can of 'Sports Power' in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
On the desk by the window, Chen Lanjun was busy writing her homework while answering, "Of course, I paid a lot of money for it."
"Finish your homework," Feng Jun stood up from the carton of drinks, holding a checklist in his hand, "otherwise, you won't be able to go to the trade fair."
After hearing this, Chen Lanjun lowered her head and did her homework.
This year's trade fair in Guangzhou is scheduled on a sunny spring day.
For the first time, this trade fair allowed joint ventures to participate. Tong Tong, director of the Fourth Food Factory, went through a lot of trouble and finally secured a booth, which was specially set up in the Sino-foreign joint venture trading area.
Chen Lanjun has already decided to use this trade fair as the stage for the launch of the "Sports Power" drink.
It is a real stage in the physical sense.
Exhibitors arrived two days in advance to set up their booths. Most of the other booths were of the old style, with a red banner and products stacked on the ground for display.
A man from an inland province who had come to the exhibition several times directed his subordinates to arrange the goods they brought in order. He was very satisfied and had nothing to do, so he just wandered around to see if there was anything new.
Since Comrade Deng announced the implementation of reform and opening up, the scale of the trade fair has become larger and larger, with more and more new things. Last year, he saw many foreigners with blond hair. For comrades like him who live in the inland and usually bring local specialties from their province to exhibit, everything is new to him.
I wandered around and saw the Sino-foreign joint venture exhibition area. In front of one exhibition area, several people were hammering and fixing a prototype wooden stand. There was also a display board next to the wooden stand, with a can of high-end-looking beverage and the words "Sports Power" printed on it.
This was new, and the man stopped to look around.
After watching for a while, a few young people came over with guitars on their backs. They were dressed strangely, the men had long hair and the women had short hair.
“Singing here?”
"Yes, this is what Senior Sister Chen was talking about."
…
What's the matter? What else do you want to sing?
The man kept it in mind, thinking that on the day of the official opening, he would take some time out to take a look at the platform.
