But now that the sugar factory is out of money, they have not restrained themselves. Instead, they have intensified their practices in the name of building connections and seeking investment. In the past few months alone, the IOUs they have written off at various restaurants amount to nearly six figures.
"To be honest, in my eyes, the sugar factory is only worth a little money because of the land."
He doesn't think much of the factory buildings and machines, and he doesn't have much affection for people other than his host, so don't expect him to have any extra sympathy for those workers who haven't received their wages.
"So, I wonder how Director Lin wants to cooperate?"
Hearing Jin Zichu speak so bluntly, Director Lin's face turned a little ugly.
He knew the problems in the factory, but this was the factory where he had worked for more than ten years, and he felt a little embarrassed to see it being devalued.
In fact, Director Lin’s idea was very simple. He asked the other party to invest a sum of money and give him some shares. They would use the money to settle the factory’s accounts. As long as the cash flow was in motion, with his ability, it would only take a few minutes to revitalize the factory.
Unexpectedly, Jin Zichu just didn't believe in his ability. He was a self-satisfied and short-sighted factory leader. Now the factory has become like this in his hands. He didn't know how to adapt when faced with difficulties, and he was just running around blindly. It will only get worse in the future.
This negotiation was not a pleasant one. I thought it would be over, but before leaving, Director Lin asked tentatively, "If it's just land and a factory building, how much can Mr. Jin offer?"
Jin Zichu looked at him with a half-smile, then glanced at Director Xing, who had a complicated expression on his face, and replied, "Of course, I still need to ask the bank for an appraisal first, so that I can make a follow-up plan."
After listening to this, Director Lin left thoughtfully.
After Xu Manman came home from get off work and heard what happened today, she laughed sarcastically, "Is he planning to sell the turtle shell on his back?"
After that, he will be debt-free and have disposed of his substandard assets. Maybe he will not only be able to get out of this mess unscathed, but also be able to move up in the market?
Jin Zichu nodded and said, "Let's see what the Ministry of Commerce thinks."
Director Lin did not hide his words today, and judging from Director Xing's expression, he was not surprised. It was estimated that they had mentioned this plan internally before, but they did not expect Director Lin to put it forward after just one meeting.
Xu Manman didn't really care about this. She herself had no ambition and preferred to make money in the most comfortable and simple way. Working hard in industry was not her ideal.
If things hadn't come knocking on her door, she wouldn't have let Xiao Jin get involved in those things, buying stocks and futures, buying some houses and land. Wouldn't it be nice to just lie back and collect the money?
Jin Zichu didn't want those things to affect his wife's mood, so he bent down and kissed her, "Leave the outside things to me. Didn't Manman say she wanted to have stewed tendons this morning? I also made pepper and salt beef ribs and steamed pork with taro."
Xu Manman was immediately distracted. "I also want pickled pepper beef and cold-mixed pig ears, spicy and with rice!"
Okay, of course.
It was still early before her period, so after dinner, Jin Zichu gave his wife a cup of milk tea without ice, with cheese and mochi.
She didn't have to worry about the outside matters as she left them to Xiao Jin, but she couldn't stand it anymore when people came to her door.
After class that day, Xu Manman prepared to go back to the office to organize the lesson plans. Jin Zichu went back to Xu's house to deliver some things to her parents, so he would come to pick her up later.
With just this little time difference, she was blocked at the office door.
Xu Manman looked at the young factory manager in front of her who was a few years younger than her and sighed in her heart. She really didn't want to get involved in those things and waste her brain.
"You want me to invest in your clothing factory?"
Qian Lanying looked at her seriously. "The estimated value of our factory's land, factory buildings, and equipment is 20 million. We have over 5,000 employees. Professor Xu, you only need to invest 3 million, and we can give you 10% of the shares."
Xu Manman blinked. Although Jin Zichu had always been the one handling the business negotiations, she still understood the basic procedures. Was he being too sincere or did he have other calculations by revealing his cards directly without any hesitation?
She was more patient with women. "Director Qian, the bank's valuation can only be used as a reference, not as a basis for investment. Moreover, you said that the factory's fixed assets are only valued at 20 million, so the 3 million investment only accounts for 10%.
Director Qian, do you think that labor can really be considered a premium asset for your factory?"
You really can't blame Xu Manman for speaking harshly. According to her calculations, there are more than 5,000 employees, and she was given 10 million. Doesn't she really look like a sucker?
Qian Yinglan also knew that this was wrong, but when it comes to business, isn't it just about asking for a high price and paying back on the spot?
