Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 639 Reorganization

When Li Weidong heard that Chen Gu said he was going to Shanghai to play gongs, he paused while holding the teacup before continuing.

There are many listed companies for which Li Weidong is the actual controller or major shareholder. Even if they are only listed domestically, there are more than ten or twenty companies, and there are even more foreign ones. However, Li Weidong, who has always kept a low profile, has never been to Shenzhen, Shanghai Stock Exchange or

Other stock exchanges participated in the listing ceremony.

Not to mention wearing red clothes, wearing a red scarf, ringing bells or gongs in front of numerous media cameras, this is not in line with Li Weidong's style.

It's just that Li Weidong has been in the spotlight recently. Although there is no real-time ranking of the rich list by Forbes, and this year's global rich list has not yet been released, Li Weidong is already the de facto richest man in the world, and it is impossible to keep a low profile even if he wants to.

This is also the reason why Chen Gu said this. In Chen Gu's opinion, another reason is that those companies used to invest in the name of Jingwei Investment.

And his Anxia Real Estate was the first company that Li Weidong directly invested with Xinsheng Holdings. It was different from the moment it was born. It was an absolute direct lineage.

Chen Gu also has some ideas. Although all investors know that the controlling shareholder of Anxia Real Estate is Li Weidong, even if Li Weidong does not go, it is estimated that it will be popular with the market. After all, the appeal of the richest man is too strong.

In the past six months, Chen Gu has been paying more attention to the capital market because he wants to list his company, both domestically and abroad.

After all, the direction of foreign capital markets will have a great impact on the domestic market, and foreign stock markets are experiencing bubbles and will never look back.

Not to mention Chen Gu, even ordinary people in China, as long as they have a serious work unit and can drink tea and read newspapers, will definitely pay attention to the situation of the stock market.

To say that what happened in the stock market during this period has the greatest impact on Chen Gu, it is not how much the so-called Nasdaq index has fallen, how long it will continue to fall, or when the bubble will be squeezed out.

He is not engaged in the Internet, nor has he invested in the Internet industry, nor has he bought Internet stocks. His attention is just to watch the excitement, and there is no actual benefit impact.

He was more impressed, or rather shocked, at the beginning of the year, when he was just beginning to prepare for the listing of a company owned by Asia's richest man. Although this company was also related to the Internet, Chen Gu didn't think so.

Not long after the Spring Festival, Asia's richest man listed the newly established TOM on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, causing a huge sensation. Hundreds of thousands of people lined up to subscribe, and the subscription was oversubscribed more than 600 times.

For a company with no specific business, its stock price skyrocketed, and the company's market value suddenly exceeded more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is obvious that the reputation of Asia's richest man is very influential.

At that time, although Chen Gu didn't know that Li Weidong was the richest man in the world, he dared to conclude that he was at least the richest man in Asia, so he wondered at that time whether their company had such influence.

But there is another subtle relationship here, which is that Li Weidong does not promote himself, and whether he will attend the gong-ringing ceremony and whether he can say a few words about real estate at the ceremony.

Presumably the views of the richest man will naturally have a great impact on the stock price, and may even drive the rise of the entire real estate sector.

At that time, he had no hope. After all, Li Weidong was a low-key person. He didn't even want to leak the photo, let alone appear in front of so many media.

But now the situation has changed, the richest man in the world has come out, and it is no longer possible to keep a low profile.

Looking at Chen Gu's eager eyes, Li Weidong pondered for a moment, and then said: "You guys started the company, so I won't join in the fun!"

Chen Gu and Xiao Jihui looked at each other, and both could see a sense of powerlessness in each other's eyes. This is a company going public, which is something that almost all companies dream of, but is it nothing to do with the big boss?

It seems that it is not a good thing for a boss to be too rich. Raising hundreds of millions of dollars will be looked down upon by others, and the increased market value will only add a fraction to his net worth, which is unnecessary.

"When a company goes public, its nature is different. There are more shareholders, and management must be standardized. Things must be thought out before doing them, and don't make mistakes!" Li Weidong took a sip of tea and reminded.

Although domestic companies go public just to make money, and there is no need to consider the interests of small shareholders at all, but there are many people watching and they are subject to a lot of supervision, so they have to abide by some rules, and sometimes they can't even talk nonsense.

"Yes, we will definitely pay attention and never cause trouble for the company!" Chen Gu responded with a smile.

Then Chen Gu picked up the document bag he had brought with him when he came in. It looked very thick.

"Chairman, this is the overall decoration renderings of Nanshan Villa. Take a look and see what else needs to be modified!" In fact, this is the main purpose of his visit today. The company's listing is just a good time.

Everything about the boss is a big deal, and Chen Gu is sure that Li Weidong is more concerned about how his villa will be built than the listing of Anxia Real Estate.

"Decoration renderings? It's done so quickly!" Li Weidong was indeed more attentive and took the document bag with some anticipation.

"The comrades in the design institute are working hard. Once the furniture is confirmed, it's better to order the furniture in advance without any delay!" Chen Gu agreed with a smile.

Li Weidong's villa was built by Anxia Real Estate, which was responsible for obtaining the land certificate and obtaining the land certificate. After completion, Li Weidong would purchase it with his own personal investment, which is the same as the purchase of ordinary commercial houses.

Although you can buy it in the name of a company, you can pay a lot less tax, and you can also offset part of the company's tax, but Li Weidong feels that the house he lives in should not be associated with the company, in order to pay less tax and get into trouble.

It has only been three months since we got the land, and the villa was built on the top of a mountain. There is at least one kilometer from the main road to the villa, and this kilometer of road had to be repaired by Li Weidong himself.

Fortunately, we have only built a temporary dirt road for various mechanical equipment and raw materials to enter the site. It will be repaired later when there are no large equipment or overweight vehicles.

The location of the villa is not that flat, and it requires excavation and filling, which naturally requires a lot of work. In fact, three months have passed, and only the foundation has been built.

The decoration drawings were drawn up before the main body of the building was built. It was indeed a bit premature, but who asked the boss to need it?

When designing the main body of the villa, Li Weidong and Liu Jinhui discussed the decoration in many places and put forward many requirements.

Chen Gu knew that the boss and his wife were very interested in this villa that he participated in the design of, so he naturally asked the design institute and decoration company to quickly come up with the renderings to make the boss and his wife happy.

Looking at Li Weidong's performance now, Chen Gu knew that his flattery was successful again this time. He felt very proud and glanced at Xiao Jihui next to him. His intention to demonstrate was obvious.

However, they both stood up quickly and put away the tea sets and cups on the coffee table. Judging from the boss's appearance, he must have opened them immediately.

Li Weidong just waved his hand, stood up directly, and walked to the large conference table next to him. This was originally a place for regular high-level meetings, so it was naturally spacious.

Chen Gu and Xiao Jihui saw this situation and hurriedly followed suit, clearing away the chairs and items on the conference table that were in the way.

Maybe secretary Chen Jun was always paying attention to the situation in the office and walked in quickly to help clean up.

Li Weidong took out the drawings from the document bag and picked up the top one, which was an overview of the villa's architecture.

Xiao Jihui was a little curious about this villa covering an area of ​​several dozen acres. Although he didn't know what it looked like yet, looking at the area, he knew it must be luxurious.

When Xiao Jihui saw the overview map at first glance, he felt it was grand and majestic. This is not a villa. This is a group of villas and a castle.

The structure of the entire courtyard is very similar to a traditional Chinese courtyard, except that the east and west wing rooms and the main house are replaced by villas. These villas are connected together through corridors. Although the size is not marked on the picture, it looks very wide.

The entire overview map is drawn very carefully, and the use of various colors is also very coordinated. If you didn't know that this is an overview map of the villa group, you would definitely think that it is a landscape painting.

The outside is grand and grand, and the inside of the villa is naturally luxurious and majestic.

The renderings were laid out one by one on the large conference table by several people in order. Li Weidong looked at them one by one and commented a few words from time to time.

Next to him, Chen Gu had already taken out his notebook to record Li Weidong's new ideas and proposals. This was another reason why he had prepared the decoration plans in advance.

Anxia Real Estate's corporate mission is to be customer-oriented, not to mention that this time the customer is a big boss, so the boss must not have any regrets.

Li Weidong took a rough look at it and thought most of it was good. However, lesbians had more ideas about decoration, so he said, "Let's leave it here first and let Mr. Liu come over and take a look!"

"That's natural!" Chen Gu responded. In these renderings, the one who proposed the most ideas was the boss's wife. Naturally, she had to get her approval, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do it. He was not in a hurry anyway, it was still early!

After several people admired these decoration renderings, they returned to the coffee table and sat drinking tea and chatting.

After such a small episode, the few people talked a lot more casually, and they were having a great time talking and laughing.

Although he was happy, Xiao Jihui still did not forget his mission this time, so during a break in the chat between several people, Xiao Jihui spoke.

"Chairman, have you ever heard of Zheng Baiwen?" Xiao Jihui asked tentatively.

"Old Xiao, although I don't work in your field, I can't be so ignorant that I haven't even heard of Zheng Baiwen!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"That's not possible. We all know that the chairman knows astronomy and geography!" Xiao Jihui complimented. Once you get used to saying flattery, it becomes quite smooth.

However, Xiao Jihui felt that his words were really not flattering, Li Weidong seemed to be really that powerful.

"Old Xiao, if you want to buy shares in Zheng Baiwen and achieve a backdoor listing, that would be a mess!" Chen Gu thought for a moment and said with worry on his face.

On this occasion, he should not have said such destructive words. After all, since Xiao Jihui said so, his intention was already obvious, which was to go public in a curved manner.

The direct conflict between the two of them is a conflict within the small group. Not to mention externally, even when dealing with those returnees, their actions are consistent.

It's just that Chen Gu still knows a little about Zheng Baiwen. Now he is involved in lawsuits and has long been insolvent. Several creditors have filed for bankruptcy.

Among them, the largest debt is to China Construction Bank, which is more than 2 billion. If other debts are included, it will probably exceed 3 billion. This is not a small amount. It doesn't matter to Li Weidong, but to them, it is a lot of money.

Although the debt owed to China Construction Bank was taken over by Cinda Asset Management Company, it was still debt!

And now Zheng Baiwen has no money, and there is no hope of reorganization. Naturally, he has to apply for Zheng Baiwen to go bankrupt to pay off his debts. Although it will cause a loss of funds, if he does not go bankrupt, they may not even get a dime.

After all, Zheng Baiwen is very good at financial fraud. No one knows how much of his fictitious sales, fictitious profits, and even registered assets are real.

If Wanjia Shopping Mall takes over, so much debt will be a big problem. If Zheng Baiwen has any hidden pitfalls, it will also be a barrier for Wanjia Shopping Mall.

Li Weidong had heard of this in his previous life. After all, the company that finally reorganized Zheng Baiwen was right next to him, so it was difficult not to know whether it would cause such a big commotion.

It's just that it's been a long time, so I can't remember the specific details. It's just that the current Sanlian Group doesn't seem to be as awesome as it was in the previous life. At least "when buying appliances, go to Sanlian" is far less loud than it was in the previous life.

Think about it, how can you have two large retail malls in the same city at the same time?

Even though Sanlian's main products are electrical appliances, Wanjia Mall also has electrical products, the number of categories is no less than that of Sanlian, and the prices are more favorable than Sanlian's.

Therefore, if Sanlian wants to develop and go global, the first hurdle is to face Wanjia Shopping Mall. Unfortunately, Sanlian still has some status in the province, but it cannot go out.

Therefore, although Zheng Baiwen is now on the verge of bankruptcy or even delisting, those who want to take over do not have the strength, and those who have the strength are still hesitant, and their performance is neither good nor bad.

Some time ago, stocks were suspended from trading and were in a precarious state. If Zheng Baiwen cannot achieve profits this year according to current regulatory regulations, he will have no choice but to delist.

Xiao Jihui glanced at Chen Gu and saw a worried look on his face. Although he was annoyed by his words, he also knew that Chen Gu's thoughts were not that bad.

"Chairman, we also have two shopping malls in Zhengzhou. I have been in contact with Zheng Baiwen's major shareholder, the municipal government, as well as Cinda Asset Management and the securities regulatory authorities!"

"Their conditions are pretty good. Cinda Asset's debt can be negotiated. There is no problem with Zheng Baiwen's control. As long as they don't go bankrupt and their employees don't lose their jobs, their conditions are also very favorable!"

"The key is that the regulatory authorities have always been cautious about the listing of Wanjia Mall, and they have brought up Zheng Baiwen's matter intentionally or unintentionally. The intention is obviously that they want us to reorganize Zheng Baiwen!"
