SPACE PLUS bar.
There were only three people in the box, and no girls at all.
Xu Zhirui grabbed the bottle with one hand and poured wine into his mouth while saying something. Perhaps he drank too much and his speech was a little unclear. No one could understand what he was saying.
Accompanying him were Shanghai's famous second-generation principal Wang Xuelong and Qin Fendou. Although they also held wine glasses, their drinking was intermittent.
After a while, Xu Zhirui got himself drunk.
Principal Wang called the manager and asked him to carry the unconscious Xu Zhirui to the guest room.
The top second-generation people in Shanghai have their own circles. Principal Wang and Qin Fendou are naturally the best among them. Xu Zhirui can also be ranked among them with the market value of Xu Group of nearly 30 billion, so they usually spend more time playing together.
With the stock market crash, the Xu Group fell into an irretrievable situation. Xu Zhirui became ruined all of a sudden, so it was natural for him to get drunk in the bar.
Drinking alone is not as good as drinking at home. Going to a bar definitely requires a group. So who should he find to join him? Xu Zhirui naturally called Wang Xiaozhang and Qin Fendou. They were two of the best in the circle. When people are at their lowest, they often need external validation, such as pretending that their family has not fallen on hard times and that the two richest people still give them face.
The two of them had indeed given him face; after all, they knew each other. Having a couple of drinks together was no problem, but asking them to persuade others would have been difficult for them.
And this might be the last time the two of them drink with Xu Zhirui, because Xu Zhirui will automatically fall out of this circle from then on.
Xu Zhirui was very grateful to see that the two gave him face. He talked a lot while drinking, but the two of them probably heard most of what happened.
"It seems that the Xu Group is finished." Qin Fendou said as he looked at the cup in his hand.
"The cause of this incident is indeed a bit..." Even Principal Wang didn't know what to say.
"Although Xu Zhirui said it himself, it still seems a bit far-fetched when I listen to it now." Qin Fendou also agreed with Principal Wang's statement.
"I've met these two people before. I admit that Zhang Ningxi is pretty, but there's no way Xu Zhirui would treat her like this, even going so far as to mess with her boyfriend's company." Although Principal Wang was knowledgeable, he still didn't understand.
"What's the big deal? Have you forgotten about your IV drip?" Qin Fendou teased.
"I'm warning you. If you bring this up again, we'll have a falling out." Principal Wang was just saying this. This was the nature of their relationship.
"Young people nowadays are very evil. They will start a fight if they are not satisfied with something." Qin Fendou raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
"It was Xu Zhirui who provoked the other party first. No man would tolerate this." Principal Wang raised his glass and clinked it with his, but he had a different opinion.
"After this incident, Si Mingyu should join our circle, right? He has such ability but still hangs out with Tao Xusheng and his gang. I don't know what he's trying to achieve." Qin Fendou opened another bottle and poured it for the two of them.
"Isn't he a kid too? What's he looking for? They are all alumni. Whether he can join the circle or not is his own business. If you really meet him in the future, just keep your distance." Principal Wang drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Let's go home."
The next day, Xu Zhirui woke up with a splitting headache and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls from his father Xu Yuande, so he quickly called back.
"Hey, Dad, yesterday..." He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"Come back now!" Xu Yuande no longer wanted to hear his son's explanation, nor did he hold out any hope for Xu Zhirui. Fortunately, he still had a younger son studying abroad.
.
Including Xu Yuande, the shareholders of Xu Group really could not refuse Xiao Shixian's proposal to acquire advertising and media related businesses.
When the Xu Group was at its peak, these major shareholders were worth hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan. Now, the combined net worth of all of them is over ten billion yuan, which is due to the fact that they have developed many of their own industries over the years relying on the Xu Group.
Even without advertising and media, which is its largest business, the group still has film and television, theater chains, audio-visual and other department companies, and after getting the money from the sale of advertising and media business, it can still maintain the operation of these companies.
But if you don't agree, how can you fight back if the other party targets you again?
All of the advertising and media divisions were valued at nearly 2 billion, ultimately being sold for 10 billion. However, the 500 million owed to various banks and 80 million in payables to various parties were to be deducted directly from this sum; Si Mingyu wouldn't pay their debts.
The remaining assets of the Xu Group are worth nearly 1 billion yuan. With the injection of funds, it will at least be no problem to continue operating.
As for Xu Yuande, although he owed Pufa Bank 5 billion and his mortgaged property was worth 9 billion, even if he went through legal procedures, he would still be left with more than 2 billion. After all, he was once a prominent figure in Shanghai. Even if he fell on hard times, the bank would not be able to cheat him of too much money. So at this point, the Xu family was still a rich man.
After taking over the advertising and media business, a professional audit and management team immediately moved in to check the non-performing assets and reorganize the company. The reorganized company was renamed "East Asia Mingyu Media Information Technology Co., Ltd.". All employees willing to stay will have their salaries increased by 5%, and those who do not want to stay will be dealt with according to the contract.
In addition to carrying out its original advertising and media business, the new company also serves as the external risk warning, publicity, and public relations department of the East Asia Mingyu Group. Its main goal is to enhance the group's visibility and establish a good image for the group externally.

A residential community in Pudong New Area.
"Mr. Si, let me help you take a bath." Bai Qing stood up and said, not caring about the mess.
"Lie down, aren't you tired?" Si Mingyu said this but did not refuse.
After a moment, looking at Bai Qing who was helping him put on his clothes again, Si Mingyu said, "Just tell me what you want to say. If you don't, I'll leave."
"Um, Mr. Si, I, I want to go to the newly established media company." Bai Qing carefully stated her request.
She really had to be careful. She was the one who said she wanted to study investment, and then she changed her mind again half a year later. Bai Qing knew that it was one thing to be coquettish with a man and ask for gifts, but it was another thing when it came to serious matters.
"What's the reason?"
"I watched the stock market battle, and to be honest, I was scared. If I were to make the investment decision on my own, I wouldn't be able to do it." Bai Qing expressed her concerns.
"Okay. Just tell me next time if you have something to say." Si Mingyu said before leaving.
After closing the door, Bai Qing leaned against it and took several deep breaths.
The 110-square-meter house they were currently living in was carefully selected by Bai Qing. The title deed was in her name, and the total price was over 9 million yuan, with a five-year loan to pay off. It was obvious who would finance the loan, and for this very reason, she didn't dare to displease Si Mingyu in the slightest.
