I quickly said respectfully, "Master, since you have come here, my humble room is naturally very beautiful. There is no need to knock on the door."
He chuckled twice, strode in, and looked Cui Yingying up and down.
Seeing this, Cui Yingying quickly let go of the person who was pulling me and said awkwardly, "You are his master, then you are my master, and my master is teaching me Tai Chi."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hongjun frowned slightly and said, "He doesn't even have a master himself, how dare he accept a disciple without permission?"
I quickly explained, "Secretary Cui, you have to be serious. This person is the CEO of Anjie Company. Don't call him 'Master' casually. Besides, in ancient times, 'Master' was someone who helped officials with their plans."
Cui Yingying stuck out her tongue, said "goodbye" playfully, and disappeared like a breeze.
After I asked Master to sit down, he immediately asked, "Whose secretary is this? Why did she come to your room and cause trouble? I'm telling you this, but this has a very good impact."
I smiled and said, "She is the secretary of Mr. Lin, the general manager of Daxun. She is a young girl, very sensible and not too respectful. She was just teasing me."
Fu Hongjun nodded and said, "By the way, this little girl is pretty."
I took the opportunity to say, "Master, if you see 꿗깊 ..."
Before he could finish his words, he shouted, "How dare you play such a joke on me!"
I quickly smiled and said, "Master, don't be impatient, let me finish what I want to say. I'm not talking about you and her, I'm saying that when I grow up, I can bring them together."
After hearing this, he laughed and said, "You should keep it for yourself. We Fu people don't have a trick like you."
Although Master's factory has been relocated to the development zone, he rarely comes to my office unless he has something important to discuss. So I got straight to the point and said, "Master, you always come to me when you have nothing to do. It seems that you have encountered some difficulties. Tell me what you want and I will do it."
Master looked embarrassed and spoke evasively, as if he was worried about something. Seeing this, I quickly comforted him, "Master, you have something to hide from me, but it's okay to tell me."
He sighed and said slowly: "This is a matter between companies. I really don't want to trouble you. It's a bit embarrassing."
I responded firmly: "Master, as long as it is a business in the development zone, whether it is a private matter or a business matter, it is within the scope of my service. Our purpose is to help businesses solve their problems."
After hearing this, the master made up his mind and said, "I have a downstream partnership with Mr. Lin's Daxun Company, and I sell half of my products to her. But now it's almost the end of the year, and only half of the payment has been settled. You know, my factory was built with a guaranteed loan from the development zone, and I have a bank loan of 5 million. The monthly interest is a small expense. How can it be overdue? Recently, my upstream suppliers have been urging me to pay, and I really can't make ends meet. I can only shamelessly beg you and Mr. Lin..."
I saw that he stopped talking halfway, so I asked directly, "Master, you don't need to say more. I will go to talk to Mr. Lin about this matter. So how much is the outstanding payment?"
The master replied: "A lot, more than 1.2 million."
I couldn't help but feel suspicious. How could Mr. Lin be so honest that he would take more than 1.2 million even though he was short of money? So I asked, "Master, have you mentioned this to Miyazaki?"
The master nodded and said, "I have consulted Miyazaki, but he said that this matter still needs the final decision of General Lin."
I had a feeling deep in my heart that this was not as simple as Linxun's financial shortage. So I tentatively said, "Master, I know you are in a hurry now. Let me collect some money and return the 200,000 yuan you lent me before, so that you can get some relief."
Before I finished speaking, my master's face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at me sternly, with a hint of sullenness in his tone: "Hongjun, are you disparaging me, your master? Am I reminding you to pay me back because of what happened to General Lin? I lent you the money because I really wanted to help you, and I never thought of asking you to pay it back. Unless you really become successful, then consider paying me back."
From his eyes and tone, I could really feel his sincerity and determination. In order to avoid making him angry, I quickly changed the subject and continued to talk about repaying the money.
Just as I was about to give Lin Xun some leadership advice I had brought back from the county, I went to her office.
She was concentrating on writing something on a piece of paper. When she saw me come in, she smiled and said, "Welcome, Mr. Guan, please take a seat."
I said, "You are like a city gate, wide open. Where is your secretary?"
She smiled helplessly and said, "That little girl will be idle for a while, who knows where she will go next."
After I sat down, I told her about my trip to the county.
She bit the end of the pen with her mouth, listened carefully, and smiled: "Since County Chief Zhang and Minister Wang are so supportive, I will follow their advice. Let's put the branch factory in Xiangyang for the time being and wait and see."
I saw that she was in a good mood at the moment, and I was afraid that talking about the master later would ruin her mood, so I decided to add more fuel to her smile. I raised my mouth, as if there was honey in my mouth, and said sweetly: "Hey, you know? Just now, at that moment, I seemed to see the famous French actress Sophie Marceau sitting opposite me. The temperament and charm are exactly the same." After saying this, I rubbed my eyes in surprise and pretended to be in disbelief.
She asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"
I deliberately answered mysteriously: "Sophie Marceau, the internationally famous French actress."
She widened her eyes and said in bewilderment, "I don't know him."
I secretly complained in my heart when I saw this. This flattery obviously hit the horse's leg. Just when I was frustrated, she suddenly giggled and said, "How can I know Sophie Marceau? She is the one who played in "First Kiss". She was my idol when I was young."
I saw the opportunity and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, I told you, you must know him. And, have you noticed that you two actually have a lot in common?"
She blinked and said mischievously, "Oh? Did someone say we look alike? That must mean we both have standard facial features, a nose, two eyes, two ears and a mouth, haha."
I heard that she was joking with me and was obviously not fooled by my words. However, since she said so, I didn't want to beat around the bush.
I cleared my throat and changed to a more formal tone: "Is your financial situation a little tight lately?"
She glanced at me lightly and said jokingly, "What's the matter? Are you in a hurry? Do you need my support?"
I shook my head and explained, "That's what I meant. I wanted to ask if you have any outstanding payments?"
She sighed softly, as if she understood why I came: "I understand, you are here for your master, right?"
I tacitly agreed with her guess: "Yes, at the end of the year, many people are urging him to pay for the goods. If he really has no other choice, he will tell me."
She became serious: "Hongjun, you are an outsider, I won't tell you. My current liquidity is indeed a little tight."
I asked with concern: "Is it because the downstream companies haven't received their payments yet?"
She shook her head. "Most of the money has been paid back, but many are bills of exchange with a minimum maturity of three months. It will be difficult to discount them before the New Year, unless we accept a discount rate of more than 10 points, but that will eat up a large part of the profit."
I was surprised and asked, "Why is the discount rate so high?"
She shrugged helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. All I have are commercial bills of exchange. If they were bank bills of exchange, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
I suggested: "What if we can use these bills to pledge a bank loan?"
She shook her head. "I asked, and the banks here don't accept commercial bills of exchange as collateral. And you know the bank loan procedures, it's not possible at all."
I thought again: "Can I borrow some money from relatives and friends first for emergency use?"
She sighed, "I have already lent all the money from Sister Yun to Zhiming. I originally had some liquid funds in my account, but they were all taken away by Zhiming."
I originally thought that she could borrow some money temporarily from her brother, but unexpectedly, she lent the funds in her house to her brother instead.
I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "It's possible that there is construction going on in this season. What did Mr. Yu use all this money from you for?"
She frowned: "He didn't explain it clearly, it seems to be used for holding."
I continued to ask: "How much money did you invest in his real estate company?"
She sighed, "Last time he borrowed 200 million from the trust, which was counted as my investment. Later, he borrowed another 100 million from me. I was counting the numbers when you came in."
I frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Originally I should say this, but you took so much money, why don't you ask him what the money is used for and where it goes?"
She shook her head helplessly: "I don't think the money issue will affect our relationship."
I said, "You are really a Voldemort."
She smiled and said, "Except for my mother, who is such a relative, I should be able to recognize all my relatives."
I said, "How about this? You sort out the money orders in your bank and I'll help you find a solution. How much cash do you have now to make ends meet?"
She said with emotion, "I never thought that one day I would need your help with money. About 5 million, what do you think? I have to make it clear in advance that I can afford the high interest."
I said, "You can afford an annual interest rate of 4%, right?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Three months is six points, which is better than me discounting it. But who are you going to find?"
I said, "Don't worry about it. Just wait for my news."
After returning to the office, some unsolved mysteries lingered in my mind like fog, but they were finally dispelled. Whether Lin Xiu's use of corporate liquidity to provide Yu Zhiming with unlimited blood transfusions was appropriate or not, judging from the size and scale of Mingjia Real Estate managed by Yu Zhiming, it did not seem to have the ability to reserve a large amount of land.
I simply did some calculations. The average price of residential plots in the central area of the provincial capital is 300,000 yuan per mu, and the size of each plot is 100 mu. If Yu Zhiming bids for a certain plot, his investment is more than 30 million yuan. To verify this, I turned on my computer, logged into the official website of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and carefully searched for the bidding records of Mingjia Real Estate in the land transaction announcement. However, the results showed that the company had no bidding records in the past year.
I further thought that if Yu Zhiming adopted a joint bidding or equity partnership, then according to relevant regulations, the members or equity ratios of these joint bidding should be made public. However, after careful inspection, I confirmed that in the past year, Mingjia Real Estate has indeed not obtained land through bidding in the provincial capital or other cities in the province.
This conclusion made me even more confused and worried, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried for Lin Xun and Liu Yun.
I carefully arranged a drinking party at the Yuncai Jixian, and the guests were brothers Lin Haisheng and Lin Haixiang. I explained the county's intention to use the PPP model to jointly develop a logistics park with Xiaocheng Steel Structure.
