"Who called the roll?"
"I don't know. We can only follow orders from our superiors. My suggestion is to wait until the time is right; it will be approved eventually. Even if you know who's behind it, so what? Those two have extremely powerful backers; Xu's Catering, a small business, can't resist them."
As they talked, whether he saw his own naive self when he first started working in Luo Peng, or was simply numb to the effects of alcohol, a sentence suddenly came out of his mouth.
The sentence was spoken quickly, urgently, and lightly, almost instantly diluted by the air. Even though Luo Peng was very focused, he could only catch a few words in Brother Wang's words—group meal, group.
If you only look at these two words, you will feel confused and have no idea what they really mean.
However, once you connect these two words with Xu's Catering, you can easily determine the connection.
The former is an adversary of Xu's Catering, while the latter is the only company in Shanghai that can be referred to as a "group".
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. The information you gathered is very useful. Continue with the loan application; just let me know when it's approved. There's no rush."
Despite saying he wasn't in a hurry, Xu An became restless after hanging up the phone, standing up from his seat and pacing back and forth in the small office.
According to the original plan, the loan would be approved by the bank and deposited into the company's account in early December, which would make up for the construction funds used to acquire the land from Shengli Supermarket for the first phase of the Hai Shang Hot Spring project.
With this inflow and outflow, not only was the money not reduced but there was also a surplus. Xu An has already planned how to use the remaining ten million yuan after making up the shortfall.
But now, the bank's approval process is being choked. Without the bank's approval, the loan cannot be disbursed, and all previous plans have become empty words on paper.
Most importantly, even if the foundation for the first phase of the seaside hot spring is laid, the second payment must be transferred to the seaside hot spring resort's account by next week at the latest, otherwise it will not be able to be completed and opened before the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is the biggest, most important, and most celebrated festival in China!
For a tourist attraction, especially one that uses 'hot springs' as its selling point, there could be no more suitable day to open!
There can be no delay, absolutely no delay! The first phase of the seaside hot spring resort must be completed and opened before the Spring Festival!
If we can't open source the technology, then we have to cut costs and sacrifice other ongoing or planned projects to fully guarantee the construction of the seaside hot spring resort!
The first thing to halt is the construction of the new headquarters building; the second is the expansion of Xu's Catering's various stores. Apart from the stores that have already been leased and are under construction, all other planned stores will remain on hold.
Currently, all of Xu's Catering's stores generate a combined daily profit of 120,000 to 150,000 yuan. The 5 million yuan expense can be raised in just one and a half months at most, not to mention that there is currently more than 500,000 yuan in working capital in the account.
With Uncle Dongliang negotiating the material procurement for the seaside hot spring resort, and with Xu's Catering acting as guarantor, a delay of one or two months in payment is not a problem.
Two months from now, plus this month, it will be three months, and the loan should be approved by then. Subsequent funding should not be a problem.
After careful consideration, and ensuring that the construction progress of the seaside hot spring resort would not be affected by the delay in this loan, Xu An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu An had long anticipated that Qiansheng Group would be furious after learning the truth and would definitely try to trip up Xu's Catering, but he did not expect that Qiansheng Group would join forces with the group catering company to suppress him. This was truly a case of being attacked from both sides!
Qiansheng Group Catering Company
The latter's next move is not hard to guess: poaching people, poaching customers, poaching employees, poaching anyone related to Xu's Catering. However, given the salary, benefits, and cooperative relationship between Xu's Catering and the Disabled Persons' Federation and the government, poaching people will not be an easy task.
The key point is the former. Given the size, influence, and network of Qiansheng Group, even a simple move could plunge Xu's Catering into a quagmire from which it cannot extricate itself.
The best way to avoid this situation is to make Qiansheng Group too busy to take care of itself!
But how can we get them imprisoned and unable to take care of themselves?
Xu An stopped pacing, returned to his desk and sat down, quickly opened his browser and searched for news related to Qiansheng Group, hoping to awaken memories related to the group in his mind.
The opening ceremony for the land parcel purchased by Qiansheng Group was officially held, and the project name was changed to 'Spring Garden'. Pre-sales are expected to begin in September 2013.
[The legal representative of Shengli Supermarket has been successfully changed. The original legal representative was Luo Yitian of Qiansheng Group, and the new legal representative is Peng Yi, the person in charge of Fengshou Farm under Qiansheng Group.]
Qiansheng Group's net profit increased by 10% in November 2012, and its net cash flow surged by 372%.

After flipping through dozens of pages, Xu An recalled a lot of information related to Qiansheng Group. However, this information was fragmented and disjointed, and it was of little use to the large and powerful Qiansheng Group. It would only cause a symbolic decrease of 1 point in their health, and there was even a possibility that they could successfully block the attack.
Xu An did have some memories of scandals related to Qiansheng Group, but the most recent one didn't break out until 2015, and there wasn't even a hint of it yet.
Hmm, if we can't launch an effective attack, Xu's Catering will be in a very passive position!
