Chapter 68: Knowing oneself but not the other
Ma Xiaotian looked at Fu Chun and said, "If you quit now, it will be good for you and your company."
But Fu Chun smiled and said, "I don't think so."
"What I said is true. It's pretty decent for you to leave now. You may arrange for you to go to a larger company to be the boss. And Huachang will come to my hands and will come alive."
Fu Chun said calmly: "You may not know me very well. For me, even if you put a knife on your neck, I will not let go."
Ma Xiaotian said: "I admire your persistence very much, but I can't praise your behavior. As your fellow villager, I will apply to the court for the sake of my fellow villager."
Fu Chun smiled and said, "My fellow villager, you are my father, I can't do it!"
"If it were your father, I wouldn't have met him at all, and I would apply to the court immediately."
Fu Chun asked in surprise: "Why?"
"If you have the chance, I will tell you how your father Fu Qingshan persecuted my parents."
Fu Chun didn't expect that he and Ma Xiaotian had such a connection. After asking clearly, he didn't know what it felt like.
"Mr. Ma, my father also paid the price for what he had done before, so you don't have to pay the debts of your father and your son."
Ma Xiaotian took off his sunglasses and said, "No, I am definitely not taking any revenge. I just want you to understand one thing. Your generation has lagged behind the times. The world you dominate no longer exists. Daxia wants to develop the economy, enterprises must follow the path of modernization, join the world, and align with the world. What about you? You have to be an audience!"
Fu Chun looked at the other party with a funny look and said, "Without you, Daxia will still develop. And we won't be an audience, and we will continue to stay on the stage. Don't worry, I used to be an act of voluntary work, but now I have to act of voluntary work once, no matter how to raise money, others can owe money, but I don't owe yours!"
Ma Xiaotian looked at Fu Chun's back and always felt that he seemed to have said something wrong and shouldn't have had a showdown with the other party so quickly. He actually knew Huachang's situation very well. I don't know where Fu Chun got the courage to say that he would not owe him money. Should he start selling Huachang's assets?
Thinking of this, he hurried back and discussed with Li Wen how to cut off Huachang's life so that Will can truly acquire Huachang instead of the end of forcing Huachang to go bankrupt. In that case, even if they can still win Huachang in the end, they will not be able to continue operating and go public, and may even bear a bad reputation and affect the company's subsequent plans.
After Fu Chun returned to the company, he asked Sun Feifei to come to the office and said, "Feifei, when you look back, you can contact Will Company and discuss with the other party about paying off the other party's debt."
"Why, didn't you say before that you could accept part of the other party's debt-to-equity conversion?"
"It's different from the past. The situation is different. Don't have too much involvement with the other party. Besides, our company's current operations are enough, and it's always good to have less debt."
Sun Feifei knew that Fu Chun was not telling the truth, but she also knew that if she could pay off part of the debt, it would be a good thing for Huachang, which would make those creditors confident in Huachang.
Ma Xiaotian was still waiting for Fu Chun to continue his move, but in his opinion, all this was just a dying struggle. Even because he told the other party about the origins of the two families, it was likely that Fu Chun's brain would be disordered and he would make irrational judgments, so that Huachang would move towards the path of merger faster.
But what he didn't expect was that he did not wait for Fu Chun to auction the land, sell assets, etc., but instead received a call from Huachang, asking them to go to Huachang to discuss repaying the debt.
This surprised Ma Xiaotian. After all, Huachang should not be able to take out the books of 10.40 million yuan. But if it really enters the negotiation stage and Fu Chun cannot take out the money, Huachang will suffer a heavy blow and may be directly annexed.
He told Li Wen about this and asked the other party about his opinion.
Li Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think it's possible that Lei Dongbao gave Fu Chun support and borrowed Fu Chun to repay the debt?"
"This is impossible. Even if Lei Dongbao is willing, can he take out so much money?"
Li Wen said: "Why not? Even if he can't take it out by himself, what about Xiao Lei Family Group? I have learned about their corporate operating model. They have never had bank loans, and they all have their own funds to develop, so their debt situation is zero. The reputation in the bank is also good. If you are willing to borrow, you should be able to raise a large amount of funds."
"This is impossible. I don't think Lei Dongbao will suddenly change his corporate management philosophy because of Huachang's incident, and even bear a heavy debt crisis for it."
Ma Xiaotian couldn't accept this result and was also worried that because of such a thing, Huachang would really get out of the predicament, and everything he did in Haishi would be in vain.
Unfortunately, the result of the matter was not changed by Ma Xiaotian's will. Soon the two companies entered the negotiation stage. The finances of the two companies together counted the principal and interest of the China Huachang debts in Will's hand and agreed on the repayment time.
Ma Xiaotian was naturally unwilling to fail like this. In order to avoid Zhao Shucheng's loan support, he gave a strict repayment time. Fu Chun was required to repay the loan within three days, otherwise he would submit the application to the court, and even pay the interest every day according to the highest interest rate of the bank during the same period.
Fu Chun didn't want to continue to get entangled with the other party, so he agreed very happily, and even sent the money to Will's company the next day after signing the contract.
After receiving the financial notice that Huachang had already paid back all the debt, Ma Xiaotian was stunned.
"How could he really have money to pay off his debts? And it's still so fast? Could it be that the Xiao Lei family had already borrowed a loan before? But even if it was a loan, why is there no news on the bank and there are no rumors about the funding trends of the Xiao Lei family?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Wen walked in at this time and said, "Xiaotian, I know how Fu Chun's money came."
"How did it come from? Did Zhang Dapeng help him ask the bank to lend money to Chun?"
"No, we guessed it wrong from the beginning. Lei Dongbao's assets are not just an instant noodle factory on the surface."
Ma Xiaotian said: "I know that he still has some shares in the Xiao Lei family and invests in real estate and antiques in many places, but these assets are not enough money."
Li Wen said: "He has assets in Xiangjiang, which is something we have always ignored. It's because I met Sun Feifei and I accidentally learned that Lei Dongbao has other women besides his wife, and this woman is Dai Jiaofeng who lives in Xiangjiang."
"Dai Jiaofeng? Who is this? Is it the daughter of a wealthy family?"
Li Wen shook her head and said, "No, she was arranged by Lei Dongbao in Xiangjiang. It was because of this that I noticed that Lei Dongbao still has assets in Xiangjiang, so I asked someone to conduct an investigation. The other party has a great influence in Xiangjiang and was once called the stock god of Xiangjiang. Moreover, the other party's assets in Xiangjiang are more valuable than the market value of the domestic Little Lei family, and can even rank in the top 20 on the rich list. I think the money that Fu Chun received should be transferred from Xiangjiang by Lei Dongbao, so we did not get any news in China."
When Ma Xiaotian heard this, he was numb. He had made great calculations, but he didn't expect that he would eventually fall into the hands of a mud-legged man.
"Are you sure that all this is true, and it's not a trick used by the other party?"
Li Wen also closed her eyes and shook her head in pain, saying, "No, in order to ensure the authenticity of the news, I asked many people to investigate and have confirmed that he can indeed take out the money and even directly repay all the debts for Huachang."
"It seems that I was not wronged to lose this time. After all, I can't know myself and the enemy. I ignore my biggest competitors. How could I not fail!"
Li Wen asked: "Xiaotian, our merger failed this time. Do you want to give up?"
Of course, Ma Xiaotian couldn't give up, and soon he came up with a new idea.
"There is no need to give up. They thought they could get rid of the predicament by paying off our debts, but Fu Chun still thought it was too simple."
Seeing Li Wen's curious eyes, Ma Xiaotian smiled and said, "Fu Chun is acting voluntarily, but he ignores some of the problems that Huachang itself has."
Li Wen was still a little puzzled about this, but when he saw Ma Xiaotian was unwilling to explain, he could only wait for the final result.
On that day, when Fu Chun was working in the company, Xu Chunli told him that people from the tax, bank and court came to Huachang together and found him if they had something to do.
Ma Xiaotian and Li Wen parked the car at the door of Huachang Company, waiting for a good show.
"It seems that these people wearing uniforms are your backup plan?"
"I want to see how they safeguard national interests and the economic order of the Haishi City."
"I hope it's not for you personally!"
Ma Xiaotian said: "From the perspective of Daxia's policies and legality, they not only serve national interests, but also serve any company investing in the island, including you and me."
Fu Chun didn't expect that these people came to ask for money. The taxation asked Huachang to pay 30 million in taxes, 50 million in bank loans, and more than 20 million in other debtors' claims. He asked Huachang to transfer the money as soon as possible, otherwise Huachang's funds would have to be frozen, otherwise Huachang's land would have to be auctioned.
Sun Feifei and Fu Chun looked at each other, thinking that they were taking advantage of the situation.
However, the other party said that Fu Chun could pay the Will Company's debts in one lump sum, and there must be other funds. These debts and taxes must be paid within a time limit.
Fu Chun originally wanted to use part of the money Zhao Shucheng lent to him to repay his debts and part of it to revitalize the company's assets, but now he has to pay off the debts first.
Fortunately, there was a part of the funds Zhao Shucheng lent to Huachang at the beginning, which was enough to pay the taxes and pay off these debts. But Fu Chun knew very well that if the debt-to-equity conversion operation could not be carried out as soon as possible, then when other creditors came to ask for debt, Huachang would really be difficult at that time.
"Feifei, go check the accounts with them and transfer all the money."
"Mr. Fu!" Sun Feifei looked at Fu Chun anxiously.
"Go, the money on our books should be enough to pay this money, and there should be a part left for the company's operation. As for the others, we will talk about it in detail later."
"Okay! Come with me!" Sun Feifei said, leading those people to the finance side to check the numbers and prepare to transfer money.
Fu Chun sat on the chair and recalled what had happened during this period. He always felt that there was a mastermind behind it, manipulating all of this, and even constantly trying to find ways to cut off Huachang's life.
Not long after, Sun Feifei came back. Looking at Fu Chun who was stunned, she asked carefully: ‘Mr. Fu, are you okay?’
"I'm fine, but our actions need to be accelerated. Debt-to-equity conversion is imperative. Contact other creditors and formally hold a debt-to-equity conversion negotiation meeting in two days." Fu Chun hesitated and said, "If possible, please invite Mr. Lei to participate."
"Okay, I'll inform you right away!"
Zhang Dapeng knew what Huachang was facing, but he did not give up his hand to help or delay Huachang a little. He said that it was a state-owned enterprise reform and government and enterprises were divided into different places, but in fact he felt that Huachang was now a big burden in Haishi, and he wanted to get rid of the burden now.
Ma Xiaotian also knew that Fu Chun was preparing to hold a meeting to convert debt into equity, but he no longer had too many chips to prevent this from happening. After all, Will's company had made a lot of money before acquiring Huachang's debt, but the companies that originally held the debt lost a large amount of profit in vain, which made the bosses who sold the equity in a hurry.
Therefore, those corporate bosses who still hold Huachang's equity dare not take over Huachang's debts easily, and even wish they could come to Haishi now, either urging Huachang to repay the loan or asking Fu Chun to give them a clear explanation.
Fu Chun was also prepared for this, so he emphasized at the meeting that Huachang could not rely on the debt and would not do such a thing. Although Huachang's current debt is as high as more than 600 million yuan, the Xiao Lei family is preparing to convert debt into equity, and most of the company's tax and mortgage have been taken back. If these people agree to convert debt into equity, Huachang will have a market value of more than 100 million yuan, and the construction of Huachang Building will be completed soon, successfully turning losses into profits.
Others were talking a lot. As Huachang's largest creditor, Zhao Shucheng took the lead in expressing support for Huachang's debt-to-equity conversion, and could even provide Huachang with another bridge loan so that Huachang can pay off other foreign debts and move forward lightly.
The others were a little hesitant at first, but after hearing Zhao Shucheng's words, they began to think about it. They all knew Zhao Shucheng and also knew the achievements he had made over the years. They did not believe that Zhao Shucheng was a person who acted in a voluntary manner, nor did they believe that Zhao Shucheng would do thankless things.
Therefore, Huachang's debt-to-equity conversion is definitely profitable, but they still don't know where this benefit is and how much benefit it will bring to them.
