Volume 3·City of Curtain Light

Chapter 273: Starting a new journey

In the waiting room, a young man wearing a crisp navy blue business suit was standing in front of the glass curtain wall, looking thoughtfully into the distance. A few meters behind him, there was a man with a graceful figure and an appearance that could make people laugh.

The astonished woman looked at the man's back with concern. On the sofa on the other side, a man with a short haircut and an angular face wearing a black suit was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed to relax. He seemed a little tired.

Different from the general closed waiting room, this is an open platform. Sitting on the sofa, you can see the flow of people boarding and security check. Through the glass curtain wall, you can see the planes taking off and landing outside the window. This kind of openness

The wide field of view can well relieve passengers' anxiety and give people a relaxed and happy feeling.

However, at this time, the young man did not pay too much attention to the planes taking off and landing. He seemed to be thinking about something very troublesome. The expression on his face was sometimes excited, sometimes confused, and sometimes excited...

After a while, the man raised his hand slightly to look at his watch, and then slowly turned around. At this moment, the woman behind him also quickly looked away and looked at the airport runway outside the glass curtain wall.

"That plane is the flight we are going to take. It looks like it will be a while before we can board the plane..." The woman stared outside intently, but said softly to the man walking over.

The man smiled and said: "Haha, you know this, you must have been observing it for a long time, right?"

The woman glanced at the man slightly: "You have been standing there for a long time, but... what are you thinking about?"

The man was stunned for a moment: "Well... I was thinking about what the chief told me. I will have a lot of things to do in the future..."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself..." the woman sighed.

The man changed his expression and laughed: "Haha... I am not stressed! On the contrary, I am very excited now. I can't wait to return to Bagui as soon as possible so that I can show my talents."

"Haste makes waste, step by step, Rome was not built in a day..."

"Of course I know this." The man looked at the time again: "It's almost time, should we get ready to board the plane..."

The three people in the waiting room were Bai Shuo, who had just come to the imperial capital to meet the No. 2 leader, and Anna and Zhao Yong who were traveling with him.

But after only one day of rest after the earthquake anniversary ceremony, Bai Shuo hurried to the imperial capital with Li Fei, Anna, and Zhao Yong.

Under the arrangement of Secretary Wu, Bai Shuo left Li Fei, Anna, and Zhao Yong in the hotel. He met with the No. 2 leader alone and had a discussion with the leader for an hour and a half. As for the content of the conversation, few people know.

However, after this negotiation, all departments from the imperial capital to Bagui Province are operating at high speed. There is only one goal - to make every effort to ensure the smooth progress of the new city plan.

Everyone understands that from this point on, the implementation of this new city plan has become a certainty, and it is no longer a local plan.

After that, Bai Shuo stayed in the imperial capital for a few more days. After making the necessary connections with relevant departments, he left Li Fei to continue completing the follow-up work, while he couldn't wait to rush to Bagui Province to organize and implement the new city plan...

More than 3 hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Yongcheng Airport. As soon as Bai Shuo walked out of the airport exit under the escort of Anna and Zhao Yong, Cao An and Zhu Zhu came to greet them and led the three of them to a roadside place.

A commercial vehicle.

The commercial vehicle headed south from the airport, passing through the prefectures and cities towards the area that currently attracts the most attention in Bagui Province.

"Brother Shuo, it seems that this trip to the imperial capital has been fruitful?" In the car, Cao An couldn't help but inquire about the news.

Bai Shuo closed his eyes to take care of himself and said, "Don't you all know what's going on here now?"

"Now, departments at all levels are taking action. Procedures that used to take seven or eight days can be completed in one day. The province and prefectures and prefectures have also set up a joint working group to be responsible for the promotion of the new city project. In addition, many enterprises

Everyone heard the news and contacted our Muguang Group one after another, wanting to get a piece of the pie."

Bai Shuo opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, more would be better. Immediately organize an evaluation of these companies, select some capable ones, and inform them that those who want to participate in the project bidding must at least ensure that they have

1 billion funds are in place.”

Cao An said in surprise: "Brother Shuo, these people are all here to make a fortune. You actually want them to bleed?"

At this time, Zhu Zhu on the back seat said with a smile: "Bai Shuo, you want these companies to advance funds for the new city project. After all, the investment required for this project is too huge, and we cannot sustain it on our own."

.”

Bai Shuo smiled and said: "Everyone wants to get a share of this plan. I am not stingy with everyone making money together, but if you want eggs, you have to buy a chicken first..."

"Hmm...where are we going?" Bai Shuo looked outside the car and found that the route seemed a little different from what he thought.

"Go to the new headquarters building of Muguang Group..." Cao An replied.

"New headquarters building?"

Cao An sighed and said: "Brother Shuo, you are such a noble person and forgetful about things. Have you forgotten what I told you last time about Xiao Lin's empty gloves and the white wolf taking down the twin buildings?"

"Twin Towers? Oh..."

Following Cao An's reminder, Bai Shuo then remembered a commendable and magical operation that Xiao Lin had done before:

There is a newly developed commercial property in Qinzhou County, east of Nanshui Town. The entire project covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, with a total construction area of ​​about 200,000 square meters. It has two conjoined "twin buildings" as the core and supporting facilities.

"Double-floor Plaza". There are two buildings, one tall and one short, the tall one is 266 meters and the short one is 218 meters. The seven, seventeenth, twenty-seventh and thirty-seventh floors between the two buildings are connected by elevated passages.

, making the two buildings become a whole.

This twin building has a novel design, which is in sharp contrast with the low and old houses nearby. When you walk out of the twin-building square, you will feel like you have traveled through time when you see the scene outside. It seems that there are two buildings separated by a line from the square.

world.

This project was originally a landmark image project introduced by the local government many years ago. It was intended to take this opportunity to promote the development of the entire city. However, due to various reasons, the project that was originally planned to be completed in two years took four or five years to complete.

Just when the project was nearing completion, the sudden global financial crisis completely broke the developer's capital chain. After owing a large sum of money for projects and materials and cashing out more than 200 million in house payments,

The developer mysteriously disappeared a year ago, making this twin towers a completely unfinished project.

After Xiao Lin took charge of the new city plan, he accidentally discovered this "unfinished" project while inspecting this area, and he became very interested. He believed that the project was undervalued for various reasons, and with the implementation of the new city plan

, its value is likely to have room for substantial improvement. So after consulting Bai Shuan, Xiao Lin officially launched the operation of taking over the project in the name of Muguang Group.

After some cleaning up, it was discovered that excluding the sold parts of this project, the remaining unsold property area was only 100,000 square meters, with a value of less than 400 million. The land transfer money, taxes, project funds, and materials were owed

Loans, various loans, wages and labor costs are as high as more than 500 million, which means that the net assets of this project are negative by more than 100 million.

However, Xiao Lin was not scared. She actively negotiated with the local government, owners, and creditors. Through a series of operations such as seeking preferential policies, debt restructuring, and buybacks, the project's book assets were changed from negative to 7,000 yuan.

Thousands.

At the same time, Xiao Lin also greatly reduced the pressure of debt repayment through debt installments and continued cooperation with creditors. On the other hand, he organized funds to quickly complete the follow-up construction of the project, and started the investment promotion for the property in less than two months.

As the new city plan advances step by step, the asset prices of this project have also risen rapidly in recent times. Xiao Lin only used less than 50 million of Muguang Group's capital to earn back a book value of more than 200 million. Moreover,

Now all the 50 million funds have been recovered, and the daily income from this project is enough to offset the cost of debt repayment and operating operations, and it can also steadily contribute millions of cash flow to Muguang Group every month...

As for moving the headquarters of Muguang Group there, it was Bai Shuo's suggestion when he came here last time. He learned that the taller building still had three full floors that were not rented out, and he saw that the number of people from Muguang Group was increasing.

The more people there were, the temporary office space became very crowded. Bai Shuo proposed that the three-story property no longer need to be rented out, and the office space of Muguang Group could be moved there. Moreover, the location of this place is exactly in the middle of the north and south of the new city plan.

It is very convenient for directing the construction of the entire new city in the future.

"But how long has it been, is the new headquarters ready for use?" Bai Shuo finally came back to his senses.

Cao An smiled and said: "Brother Shuo, when you came here last time, the simple interior decoration of the building has been completed. You only need to make some personalized decorations and configure office equipment, and you can start working."

"Yes, it's not like you don't know the ability of this girl Xiao Lin. She made arrangements before going to Xichuan to attend the anniversary festival. She has been working hard these days and now she is ready to work." Zhu Zhu added.

arrive.

Soon, the commercial vehicle arrived at its destination.

Bai Shuo saw a busy scene in front of the entire Twin Towers. It seemed that many businesses were busy moving in and making preliminary arrangements. Arriving on the 30th floor of the building, the first thing that caught his eye was a wall with the logo of the Curtain Light Group that was being renovated.

And the front desk of the company. Xiao Lin was standing there directing everything.

Seeing Bai Shuo's arrival, Xiao Lin immediately came over and said, "Oh, it's still a little messy here, but the conference room inside and Mr. Bai's office have been tidied up."

Bai Shuo looked around and found that except for a small part of the entire office building, which was still under construction and layout, the rest had been basically completed. So he nodded and said, "Then go to my office first."

Under the leadership of Xiao Lin, Bai Shuo came to the office prepared for him on the 32nd floor. This was a large office with an area of ​​over a hundred square meters. Even if there were twenty people gathered here, it would not seem crowded.

"Mr. Bai, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" Xiao Lin asked.

Bai Shuo saw that the office was fully equipped, nodded and said: "Very good, there is nothing needed for now. By the way, are Liang Ying, Pengcheng and their offices also on this floor?"

Before Xiao Lin could speak, Zhu Zhu replied: "Well, yes, all of our offices are on this floor."

"Oh...are they here now?"

"Haha, you don't need to invite us, we are all here." At this time, Liang Ying appeared at the door in perfect agreement, followed by William and Kevin.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Pengcheng, Tian Yu and others gathered here one after another after hearing the news of Bai Shuo's arrival.

Naturally, what everyone is most concerned about is the trip to the Baishuo Imperial Capital.

Bai Shuo told everyone in detail about his trip to the Imperial Capital, and discussed the next step with everyone. However, in the end, he still told everyone that there was an unexpected gain in this trip to the Imperial Capital. Soon

After that, the No. 2 leader will implement some measures that will be of great help to the new city plan. However, Bai Shuo will keep it secret for the time being and will not tell anyone about it.

But everyone's curiosity has been aroused, and they all clamored for Bai Shuo to reveal it earlier.

Bai Shuo looked at the environment of the office and said, "Hey, in such a short time, this office has been decorated really well."

"The girl in your office, Xiao Neighbor, is the most attentive, can you please..." Cao An continued Bai Shuo's words.

"No way, I put my heart into every job..." Xiao Lin quickly explained, but his face was slightly blushing.

Seeing that the topic had been successfully changed by Bai Shuo, Liang Ying no longer dwelled on the previous issue, and praised Xiao Lin heavily. He said that after hearing about the process of Xiao Lin taking over the building, he also felt that this operation

It's a brilliant move. It's like a free hand. It got such a large piece of property for nothing and gave Muguang Group a stable office space.

At this time, Xiao Lin smiled and said: "My achievements are insignificant to Muguang Group, but now there is a big project waiting for Mr. Bai to personally handle it..."

"Big project?" Bai Shuo was a little confused, but suddenly found that everyone's expressions became solemn.

"what happened?"

Liang Ying looked at everyone and said: "I'm afraid you'll be distracted in the imperial capital. I haven't told you yet. Hans sent news from the United States three days ago. General Motors' business has fallen into crisis, and it is very likely that it will collapse in the near future.

Declared bankruptcy. The day you have been waiting for is finally here."

Bai Shuo was suddenly startled. Oh my God, how could I have forgotten this? The bankruptcy crisis of General Motors in the United States seems to have happened at this time in my memory.

Fortunately, Hans had been told to keep an eye on General Motors before, so he accurately captured this message.

Acquiring General Motors...this is really a big project!
