rebirth against the times

A few days later, Bai Shuo and Liang Ying were still busy looking for funds. Liu Shu and Zhong Pengcheng had good news frequently and won one business after another. Now they purchased CDS and other products through various channels.

The total amount of short-selling products has reached 2 billion U.S. dollars. In order to avoid attracting attention, the negotiations and purchases of these products are basically carried out by Americans in the team. Liu Shu does not personally intervene often, but Chinese people on Wall Street

Liu Shu is always easy to attract attention, but his limited short selling of American real estate still earned him the title of "Chinese Madman" on Wall Street. Some people even speculated that Liu Shu was the child of a senior Chinese official, just like the children of senior Chinese officials in their minds.

They are all prodigal sons, the kind who specialize in cheating their fathers. I don’t know if Xiao Zhen will be angry and cry if he knows such an idea.

And at this critical moment, another shocking news came from Baijia Town: Liang Ying, the "waste" son-in-law, was finally kicked out by the Bai family. It is said that he messed up something assigned by his mother-in-law at an important gathering.

The Bai family lost face, and even Bai Wanting was very angry. Finally, under Bai's mother's insistence, Bai Wanting finally agreed to the divorce, and Liang Ying was kicked out. Bai Shuo recalled Liang Ying's behavior in recent days.

The mood was indeed a bit wrong, but he didn't say anything when asked. Now that the news came out, since Liang Ying didn't say it herself, Bai Shuo would never take the initiative to ask about it again, because he knew that men all have

Dignity, face-saving. Everyone knows some things, but don't touch them, just maintain a tacit understanding. As time goes by, men will lick their wounds dry and become stronger.

Of course, there is another thing to be happy about. The stock that was suspended has finally unveiled its mystery, and new news has emerged, and it is major good news. The stock involves tens of billions of large orders and performance

There is a substantial increase, and there is also the intention to reorganize. This way, once the market opens, it is certain to skyrocket, but there is still a week left before the announced opening. And now there is another thing that Bai Shuo and Liang Ying have to face, which is 5 days later

Another 12 million has to be paid. And as Liu Shu's side further increases its capacity, more funds may be needed in the future. Liang Ying's current situation, although she is strong on the surface, Bai Shuo knows that at this time

Don't put too much pressure on him or let him make important decisions. At least for the next five days, you should have to rely on yourself, 12 million...

At this time, someone else revealed the news to Bai Shuo. His former college classmate Jia Fugui's family was originally in business. In the past two years, his father had made hundreds of millions by seizing two good projects. After seeing Jia Fugui graduate from college,

He had nothing to do, so he gave him 30 million to start a business, and now he is looking for projects everywhere. Bai Shuo was overjoyed. Although he and Jia Fugui were not good friends when they were studying, they still had some social contact, although they were not 100% in love.

You can convince the other party to help you, but if the situation is urgent, you have to try it at any opportunity.

Bai Shuo tried to dial the other party's number, and Jia Fugui immediately called out Bai Shuo's name, indicating that the other party had always saved his phone number, which seemed to be a good start. On the phone, Bai Shuo felt that there was a relationship between old classmates.

There was no need to beat around the bush, he explained his purpose straightforwardly and told Jia Fugui that the money could be regarded as a loan and the interest would be calculated as he wanted. If he was interested in the project he was investing in, he was welcome to join in and invest together.

After hearing this, Jia Fugui said cheerfully: "Old classmates don't need to be so polite, but although my father gave me the money, I don't want to be a prodigal son. I still have to make some achievements to show my father. You

I still have to think carefully about your proposal, maybe we can meet and discuss it in detail someday when we have time."

When Bai Shuo heard that there was something going on, he immediately made an appointment with Jia Fugui to go to his company for a detailed discussion the next morning. Jia Fugui registered a trading company and rented an office building with an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters on one floor near the East Second Ring Road in Shudu.

The company's office. The next day, Bai Shuo came to Jia Fugui's company at the agreed time. Considering that Jia Fugui had the intention to join the company and invest, he brought Liang Ying along with him. After all, he was not the only one to say this.

Forget it.

Although Jia Fugui's trading company is not big, the interior decoration and layout are pretty good. When you get out of the elevator, you can see a very modern corporate general affairs desk, and a young and beautiful front desk staff greets you warmly.

He looked at Bai Shuo and Liang Ying. After Bai Shuo explained his intention, the beautiful woman at the front desk immediately made a phone call. After a while, a more beautiful and mature professional beauty came out, who was said to be Mr. Jia's secretary Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan called

The two took them to a reception room and told them that Mr. Wu had an impromptu meeting. They asked them to wait a moment and poured them a cup of hot tea.

As soon as Xiaoyan left, Liang Ying immediately praised: "I said, are you sure that your classmate has 30 million in hand, not 300 million?"

Bai Shuo didn't understand, so Liang Ying continued: "Just for the rent of this office, the decoration costs will cost a lot, and your classmate's style, look at Xiaomi and the girl at the front desk, they are not third-class people.

It’s standard equipment for tens of millions of dollars.”

"Is it possible that his father thought he was okay and gave him more capital?" Bai Shuo guessed, but in any case, it shows that this classmate does have some strength.

The two of them waited in the reception room for a full hour. Secretary Xiaoyan came in again to change cups of tea for them, and told Bai Shuo very apologetically that Jia Fugui was still in a meeting and needed to wait.

Liang Ying asked Xiao Yan how many employees the trading company had? Xiao Yan told them that the company had just been established and had not yet started large-scale recruitment. Currently, it only has one secretary, one receptionist, and one driver.

Liang Ying asked again about the company's business situation, and the answer she received was that the company has not yet launched any business and is in the development stage.

After Xiaoyan left again, Liang Ying smiled and said to Bai Shuo: "You, a classmate, opened a company without thinking about how to recruit talents to do business. Instead, Xiaomi, driver, and front-office administration are fully equipped. Why doesn't it feel like that?

A practical person."

Bai Shuo laughed and said, "Everyone has his own way of doing business. Maybe others have their own ideas."

After waiting for more than half an hour, just when Liang Ying was getting a little impatient, Jia Fugui happily walked into the reception room.

When Bai Shuo saw Jia Fugui, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically and patted the other person's shoulder vigorously: "Okay, old classmate, the company is running well." Then he introduced Liang Ying to Jia Fugui.

Jia Fugui looked very happy, and then said: "I'll just make do with it. I'll move to a better place when I make money later. The company has just been established, and many areas still need to be improved. Now the company is

We are short of people. As you can see, the company is so big now. In addition to a vice president sent by my father and I, there is only a secretary, driver and a front desk. Secondly, there is a shortage of projects. I have a lot of money.

I don’t know where to throw it.”

Liang Ying pretended to be a little surprised: "Mr. Jia, you have made such a big fuss, but you still don't have a specific project? The costs you have incurred are not a small amount."

Jia Fugui smiled: "The project is not urgent. Let's set up the company first, make the appearance more beautiful, and build a reputation. Then naturally a lot of projects will come to us. Isn't this just building a nest to attract the phoenix?

!”

"Well, that's right. Look, we're here right now." Bai Shuo took this opportunity to redirect the topic to his own purpose. But Jia Fugui seemed not to understand and picked up the reception room again.

He talked about some small furnishings in it: "I'm not exaggerating. Look, the ashtray in my living room is customized from abroad. It also has our company's LOGO on it. Each one is worth eight dollars."

More than a hundred, and this set of sofas, imported from Italy, and..."

Seeing that Jia Fugui has been obsessed with showing off his various treasures, Bai Shuo finally couldn't help but find an opportunity to get to the point directly: "Well... Mr. Jia, look, let's talk about business first, in a moment

How about we have dinner together to catch up on our school friendships and talk about your entrepreneurial history?"

Speaking of this, Jia Fugui stretched his hand forward and showed the watch worth more than 100,000 yuan in front of Bai Shuo. He looked at the time and said: "Oh, old classmate, what a coincidence, I just opened it temporarily."

That meeting took up a lot of time. I also made an appointment with a big boss to discuss some business and had dinner with them at noon. Now I can still spare 10 minutes. Why don't you hurry up and talk about what you need to do.

"

Liang Ying on the side frowned, feeling that something was not right, and Bai Shuo felt like ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping around again. I have been waiting for you for almost two hours, and finally met you, and you kept showing off your bragging, which is no less than 10

How many minutes? Now let’s get down to business. You said you only have 10 minutes.

But Bai Shuo knew that now was not the time to be angry, so he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, no problem, we are all old classmates, and we should trust each other more. Save the twists and turns in the middle, I think

10 minutes is enough for us to finalize this matter."

Then everyone sat down separately, and Bai Shuo only spent five or six minutes to briefly explain the situation.

Jia Fugui showed a thoughtful expression and asked with some confusion: "Do you have properties worth several hundred million in Shu?"

"um, yes."

"Can you provide me with the property ownership certificate?"

"Well, this..."

When Bai Shuo was in trouble, Liang Ying said: "Because we have some special mortgage terms with the bank, those documents are now in the bank and will not be withdrawn until two years later."

"Well, yes, old classmate, I can still lie to you," Bai Shuo said immediately.

Jia Fugui frowned and continued to ask: "You have financial assets worth tens of billions in the United States?"

"um, yes."

"What can you prove about this?"

"These assets are held through multiple investment institutions. Although we can operate them directly, they are not directly under our name. Because some business secrets are involved, if you can join, we will slowly introduce the relevant situation to you in the future.

"Bai Shuo replied.

"We still have stocks worth tens of millions in the stock market. You can check your account and you will know at a glance." Liang Ying added immediately when seeing the other party's confusion.

Jia Fugui laughed "hehe" twice: "Brother, this stock market thing is still too mysterious. Besides, I heard that you were recruiting people to invest some time ago. How many of the tens of millions of stocks are real?

I still can’t explain it clearly.”

Seeing Jia Fugui's ambiguous attitude, Bai Shuo felt a little anxious, and immediately said: "Old classmate, if you think you should be cautious about investing in a business, you can think about it again. At present, we are in urgent need of a sum of funds for short-term turnover. Can you

See if you can lend us some funds first, and if you decide to join our team later, these loans can also be counted as your investment."

Jia Fugui thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to borrow money. Even for the sake of my old classmates, I should help."

Just as Bai Shuo was overjoyed, Jia Fugui changed the topic: "But... these brothers still have to settle accounts, and there are still many details that need to be discussed about borrowing money. It's not that I can't trust you, but this is a necessary procedure.

needs……"

"Of course, of course, otherwise..."

Before Bai Shuo finished speaking, Jia Fugui immediately interrupted him: "Oh, look, it's already timed out. I can't make it in time. I have a general understanding of your matter, but we can't finish the discussion in a while. I

Let's stop here today, let's talk another day..." After saying that, Jia Fugui hurriedly called his secretary and walked out. Bai Shuo and Liang Ying followed immediately, taking advantage of the time they took the elevator downstairs to take another ride.

After a few words, there was no real progress. When they arrived at the underground garage, a Mercedes-Benz had been waiting for a long time. Jia Fugui immediately asked Bai Shuo: "Old classmate, what do you think of my car? It costs more than one million."

"

Bai Shuo smiled and nodded with praise, and Jia Fugui added: "Hey, the Daben is still not up to par. Once the business is negotiated, I can change it to a Bentley."

Seeing that Jia Fugui didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, Bai Shuo said again: "Yes, old classmate, there is nothing wrong with the business that you personally negotiated, but do you think we can set up a time to talk about it?"

"

Jia Fugui patted Bai Shuo on the shoulder and said, "I'm in a hurry today. Let's talk when we get down. I won't see you off. I'll ask you to go for a ride with me another day when I get a new car." After that, he got into the car.

Walk away.

Looking at Da Ben walking away, Liang Ying finally couldn't help it anymore: "I said... your classmate seems unreliable..."

Bai Shuo was stunned for a while: "He just didn't have any rules when he was in school. Maybe...hey, I'll find some time to make an appointment with him in the afternoon."

"Well, let's go. Don't hang yourself on a tree. We can't afford to waste time." Liang Ying shook her head and strode towards the exit.
