Chapter 108 Fate Plays Tricks
Ultimately, it's still that second boss of Changqing Group, Shen Zekai, who's too inexperienced and too eager for quick success.
If he hadn't been so eager to seize power from his father, and had just been patient for a few more years...
Once his shrewd and calculating father passed away, Changqing Group would naturally fall into Shen Zekai's hands.
But he couldn't wait and insisted on causing trouble ahead of time. After being put on the defensive, he hastily signed the contract, trying to snatch chestnuts from the fire, which led to his current predicament.
Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on us.
One wrong step leads to another, and he ended up personally delivering his new property development to Fang Huan Investment's lavish buffet table.
"Furthermore, Chairman Huang, I heard that Changqing Group's European expansion plan was originally intended to be postponed until the funds were more plentiful."
But Shen Zekai, for some reason, suddenly became extremely radical.
They forced various European projects to start ahead of schedule, and their cash flow is already in jeopardy!
As a result, they ran right into the wave of terrorist attacks that swept across Europe!
Rumors are circulating in the underworld that Changqing Group can't even come up with the life-saving funds it desperately needs right now!
Changqing Group's debt is about to inflate like a balloon, affecting its credit rating.
That'll be a precipitous drop! And then…
Upon hearing this, Huang Fengwen felt that it was fate, and that God was helping him, Huang, to make a fortune!
" What was the 'reasonable' acquisition price set for the ' Evergreen Heaven Seal ' property in our performance-based agreement?"
Two hundred billion.
This price was calculated by the shrewd team in the legal department based on the estimated value of the " Evergreen Heaven Seal " property at the time of signing the contract. It was a "fire sale" price that maximized Fang Huan Investment's interests while remaining legally sound.
"Hehe, if we handle it properly, we really could use 20 billion to take over that new housing development?"
Huang Fengwen thought about it more and more and felt that this matter had potential, and his eyes were practically gleaming with greed.
"Of course, Changqing Group will definitely fight back with all their might."
After all, that's their flagship brand in Shanghai; how could they possibly give it away for such a paltry price?
Lin Fan reminded him.
However, things are unpredictable.
Life is full of uncertainties; who could have imagined things would turn out this way?
"Um, Chairman Huang …"
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
"Didn't you say before that it was President Su who personally made the decision to choose the ' Evergreen Heaven Seal ' property as collateral, despite all objections?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
" Chairman Huang …you mean, President Su…could this situation have been part of his plan?"
"!?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the spacious office gasped, and the air seemed to freeze instantly!
Logically speaking, such far-fetched speculation should be laughed off and treated as a funny joke.
However, the moment the name " Su Hao " was mentioned, everyone's expression froze, and no one could smile anymore.
That man created too many incredible miracles!
That name seems to possess a kind of magic that penetrates people's hearts!

" Uncle Cui! Still no news from the equity fund?"
Changqing Group In the Chairman's Office, Shen Zekai was practically baked dry by anxiety.
My lips were cracked and peeling. I drank glass after glass of water, but it did nothing to quench the thirst and despair that burned from the deepest part of my heart.
"Damn it! These bastards, these heartless scoundrels who wouldn't help someone in distress, have they all gone mad?!"
Do they really want to just stand by and watch the Evergreen development be snatched away by those opportunistic, exploitative bastards from Fang Huan Investment?!
It's just a mere 10 billion! As long as that 10 billion arrives, all the problems will be solved!
Are they pigs?! Can't they even do this simple math?!
Shen Zekai was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.
The problem is, this 10 billion is easy to say, but getting those equity funds to actually come up with it would be more painful than cutting flesh from their own bodies.
Those equity fund managers who usually fawned over them all turned into cowards at this moment.
They were also weighing the options: what if this 10 billion yuan investment turned out to be a complete waste?
Even if Changqing Group, this wrecked ship, can still float, will it be able to recover its principal and interest?
The key question is whether Changqing Group's massive cash flow problem can be filled, or if it will snowball.
This is a huge gamble; who would dare to place a bet?
To put it bluntly, in their eyes, Changqing Group is now a hot potato.
It's purely a case of spreading rumors and betting that I won't be the last unlucky one.
Therefore, no fund company was willing to budge. They all pretended not to know, exchanging glances to see which fool would dare to take on this "mega-bomb of the century".
"Keep trying to persuade them! Try every possible method! Spare no expense!"
Shen Zekai said through gritted teeth.
"Tell them that the setback in France is only temporary! But the projects in the UK and Germany are about to go live!"
Belgium and Spain are also queuing up to open!
The border closure is not permanent; it will reopen sooner or later!
At that time, money, loads of money, will naturally flow in like a tidal wave!
"Yes...yes! Director, we will do our best!"
Uncle Cui reluctantly agreed, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
"It's not just about trying! It's about having to! It's about absolutely having to tell those money-grubbing, profit-driven bastards."
If they still want to squeeze more money out of Changqing Group, they absolutely cannot give up the new property development!
That's our trump card! And their cash cow too!
Although his words were harsh, the ominous feeling in Shen Zekai's heart clung to him like a leech, impossible to shake off.
If only I had been calmer back then, more patient, and less driven by short-sighted gains...
Perhaps then, I wouldn't have signed that damned contract that was like a slave contract!
But it's too late to regret it now.
If no single fund is willing to lend a helping hand, and everyone chooses to stand by and watch the crisis unfold...
That new Changqing development is really going to benefit those opportunistic, ruthless bastards from Fang Huan Investment!
No, to be more precise, it's the damned, mysterious mastermind who's been hiding behind Fang Huan Investment, manipulating everything, yet never showing their face!
"Don't even think about it! Even if I die, I'll jump off this building rather than let you bastards succeed!"
Shen Zekai gritted his teeth; he had to prevent that from happening no matter what!
France is not a viable option for the time being, but Changqing Group's operations extend far beyond just France!
After Paris, they also spent astronomical sums of money in Britain, as well as Germany, Spain, Belgium...
These are all future money-making machines, gold mines that can lay golden eggs!
As long as these overseas projects can be successfully launched step by step, money will naturally flow in like a flood breaking through a dam!
So, it's not over yet!
We haven't reached the end of our rope yet!
At least for now!
not yet!!
