Chapter 45 3. It was precisely because he was worried that he would beg Xu Haocheng one day that he resolutely rejected his request

In the middle of the night, in the study of a Chinese-style villa in the suburbs of Beijing, the lights were still flickering.Lai Jingdong was wearing pajamas and a pair of presbyopic glasses that had faded paint, and was reading a thread-bound book. On the wall to the east of the study room, there is a pair of regular script: "Thousands of years are long, leave me alone, and study again after returning from hundreds of battles." This is a couplet written by Zeng Guofan, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, to his younger brother Zeng Guoquan.Zeng Guoquan is a famous general of the Hunan Army and the number one hero in recovering Jiangning.After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was wiped out, Zeng Guofan was worried that Zeng's family would make too much contribution and would repeat the same mistakes as the dead birds, so he took the initiative to ask Zeng Guoquan to "return to his hometown to recuperate" and wrote this couplet.Fourteen characters, not only the strong family affection that hoped that the younger brother would not change his true qualities as a scholar after the war, but also the great wisdom to penetrate the dangers of the officialdom.

Lai Jingdong likes this couplet very much and has kept it with him for many years.He even named his own study "Re-Du Residence". The doorbell rang hastily.After the servant opened the door, Chen Yuanxiong, the president of Taijiang Capital Asia Pacific, walked into the study quickly.Lai Jingdong took off his reading glasses and asked, "Did you see their press release?" Chen Yuanxiong nodded: "I have seen it on the way here. Just a few hours ago, Wistron has officially released the news, saying that due to the overall poor international economic situation, it has decided to suspend the listing."

"Du Linxiang, has he gone crazy?" Chen Yuanxiong said bitterly. "It's really unexpected." Lai Jingdong said, "Song Jinchi called me a few days ago and asked if he wanted to take a step back in terms of the issue price. He won’t care about making us a few hundred million more if we go public successfully.” Chen Yuanxiong shook his head: "Du Linxiang turned a blind eye to the billions he got just to take a gamble? Now that the listing is suspended, he will go back and compensate us. This company has no other way out except bankruptcy." "Maybe I'm really old-sighted." Lai Jingdong sighed, "At first I thought that Du Linxiang was a man of great wisdom and stupidity, otherwise I wouldn't cooperate with him. I didn't expect that he was a complete reckless man. When his head got hot, what? You can do stupid things."

"What shall we do next?" Chen Yuanxiong asked. "According to the contract." Lai Jingdong said, "Since Weitong cannot complete the listing on time, we will naturally take those properties under our name. Weitong is bankrupt, and we may not get back the money we invested. The property can also make up for the loss." Chen Yuanxiong said: "The teacher is really clever. When the betting agreement was signed, he proposed to bet on real objects for today. Weitong's commercial pedestrian street, building materials trade city and other buildings in Hezhou are not low in value, and they have long been Get rid of the debt. Let's take it, at least the business won't lose money."

"The night is long and the dream is full!" Lai Jingdong said, "Hurry up and send someone to Hezhou to go through the handover procedures and bring the things over." "Okay." Chen Yuanxiong nodded. Lai Jingdong picked up the book again: "Tomorrow I will go to Mount Wutai to fulfill my vow, and I will live on the mountain for a while after I am done. If there is anything, let's call." Du Linxiang, who was on the other side of the ocean at the moment, could not care about his already exhausted body, so he pulled himself together and came to a video conference room he had just rented.Numerous senior executives of Wisdom in China were also notified to sit in front of the computer on time.In the past three days, Du Linxiang slept less than ten hours.His eyes were red and his voice was a little hoarse.

Using video communication equipment, Du Linxiang informed the country of the suspension of listing.He immediately said: "In the long run, this decision is beneficial to the development of the company. If it is forced to go public, it will not be conducive to Weitong. However, Weitong will also face a series of difficulties in the short term. Now we need all the people to share the difficulties, Go all out." Du Linxiang went on to say: "The capital chain is the life of an enterprise. From now on, the company's financial management will enter an extraordinary period. Every penny in the account will be split in half. At the same time, the opening speed must be accelerated. Originally All projects that are scheduled to be launched within one year must be compressed to about half a year. The sooner the launch, the sooner the funds can be withdrawn. This is of great significance to today's Wisdom!"

The video conference lasted a full six hours.Du Linxiang asked each branch manager to speak and report on the construction progress and cash flow status of the real estate in the area.He interrupted from time to time, and when he encountered an answer that did not satisfy him, he would swear.At this video conference, Du Linxiang thought that a branch manager was out of work and announced his resignation on the spot.There was another branch manager who was awarded 300,000 yuan by Du Linxiang on the spot because of his outstanding sales performance.Du Linxiang emphasized: "Everyone knows that today's Weitong is short of money. But I also know that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. The more this time, the more I have to use heavy codes, no matter whether rewards or punishments, they must be severe. .”

After the video conference, Du Linxiang set off for home.This time, he chose economy class for the first time.Du Linxiang just made a rule that during the extraordinary period, everyone in the company below him is not allowed to take business class on business trips.Today's Weitong needs to tighten its belt.Also in the video conference just now, An Youqi proposed that each branch office should use the employee's ID card to do so in their own name, because it is cheaper than applying in the name of the company.After hearing this, Du Linxiang made a decision immediately, that's all.Today, he can't wait to save every penny.

After arriving in China, the entourage changed planes and flew back to Hezhou, but Du Linxiang and Zhuang Zhiqi stayed in Beijing.Du Linxiang wanted to see Lu Youshun in Beijing.Today's Lu Youshun is the general manager of a state-owned enterprise with a lot of money and wealth. In view of the years of friendship, Du Linxiang hopes that the other party can lend a helping hand. It happened that Lu Youshun was on a business trip abroad and did not come back until a few days later.Du Linxiang also took this opportunity to take a good rest in the hotel.For a few days, what he was most afraid of was watching the news.The news of Weitong's suspension of listing was published on the headlines by countless financial media.In the rendering of public opinion, Du Linxiang has become a tragic figure, and the media directly rated the suspension of Wittone's listing as the most tragic scene in the real estate industry this year.

Wan Shunlong, an old rival who is attending a real estate forum in Shanghai, issued a "hundred-day prophecy" in front of countless media.Wan Shunlong said: "A company's sudden suspension of listing will cause a huge impact, both financially and psychologically. This incident also proves that the large-scale increase in the size of the land reserve and the listing and financing model have encountered a major bottleneck." Facing the media's questioning, Wan Shunlong did not want to name the specific company, he just asserted: "Once the capital chain is broken, the company can't survive for a hundred days."

Du Linxiang took the newspaper and said to Zhuang Zhiqi: "Our old friend, when did we become a fortune teller?" Zhuang Zhiqi smiled wryly: "There is no shortage of people who make trouble in the world." But Du Linxiang sighed: "Wan Shunlong's words are not all nonsense. If you can't find money, it will be really difficult for Weitong to survive a hundred days." Four days later, Lu Youshun returned home.He was very concerned about the situation of Weitong, and went directly to the hotel where Du Linxiang was staying without even returning home.In his room, Du Linxiang threw out his plan to start the second round of financing.He hopes that Lu Youshun can become a new strategic investor and inject capital into Wisdom. Du Linxiang told Lu Youshun that Wittone's national expansion strategy has achieved great success, the land in its hands will have a large appreciation space in the future, and the company's brand image has also been recognized by consumers.As long as this difficulty is overcome, Weitong will start listing again.At that time, Lu Youshun's investment will receive excess returns. After introducing the company's situation, Du Linxiang finally said in an almost pleading tone: "Mayor Lu, because of our friendship for so many years, please give me a hand." Although Lu Youshun is no longer the mayor, Du Linxiang is still in the The title has not changed. Lu Youshun shook his head in embarrassment: "I also know that as long as there is a capital injection, Weitong's future prospects are promising. From a personal relationship point of view, I should help you. But there are some things that I really can't do. The above Repeated orders, central enterprises whose main business is not real estate will withdraw from the real estate field. At this time, how dare I invest in real estate companies!" After Lu Youshun left, Du Linxiang sat in the room with a lonely face.Zhuang Zhiqi walked in and asked softly, "Did the talk go well?" Du Linxiang shook his head and sighed: "Lu Youshun also has more than enough heart but not enough strength." "The most urgent thing is to find money. Lu Youshun can't count on him here, who else can he have?" Zhuang Zhiqi said. Du Linxiang said: "What Weitong needs is not a small sum of money. I was thinking a few days ago in the United States that only big bosses like Lu Youshun and Xu Haocheng can afford this sum of money. Lu Youshun's side is a state-owned enterprise, because the policy The reason, it seems that there is no hope, so I can only go to Xu Haocheng to try again." "Xu Haocheng is naturally a rich man. Mr. Du also has some friendship with him, but..." Zhuang Zhiqi said. "Just what?" Du Linxiang lit a cigarette. Zhuang Zhiqi said: "That time when Xu Haocheng celebrated his 60th birthday, he called Mr. Du and me to the study, and proposed to buy our land in Wuhan, but Mr. Du refused at last. I heard from Chen Jin'er that Xu Haocheng's matter was a bit strange. angry." Du Linxiang nodded: "I know this. He has never called me on his own initiative for more than a year. I guess he feels a little unhappy." Du Linxiang flicked the cigarette ash: "Xu Haocheng's quotation was not low at the beginning, so logically I could agree to him. But it was precisely because I was worried that I would beg someone one day that I resolutely rejected his request." Zhuang Zhiqi became more and more confused, since he was already prepared to beg someone, why did he refuse Xu Haocheng's not-so-demanding request? Du Linxiang said: "In terms of friendship, Xu Haocheng and I are not too shallow. He and Hu Weidong knew each other, and I was the middleman. These years, Xu Haocheng and Hu Weidong made a lot of money. It is said that Xu Haocheng worked in a mine in Africa. , Not long ago, it was transferred to a company in Beijing at a high price, earning hundreds of millions, and the person in the middle is Hu Weidong." Du Linxiang continued: "Xu Haocheng is a shrewd businessman after all. If you want to borrow tens of millions from him, it may be okay to rely on friendship. If you really want him to take hundreds of millions of real money, friendship will be unreliable. At this time, there is only one The way is to make Xu Haocheng feel that if he puts out a few hundred million, he will get a good return." "I understand." Zhuang Zhiqi is an extremely smart person, and he naturally understood Du Linxiang's original intentions when he heard this, "You reject Xu Haocheng because you want to tell him that the land in Weitong's hands is a treasure, with potential for future appreciation. It's big, we won't be tempted if you pay this little money." Du Linxiang nodded: "At the beginning, he paid a high price and couldn't even buy a piece of land in Wuhan. Now, taking advantage of Weitong's lack of money, he may buy shares at a low price. Xu Haocheng should settle the account, thinking Think about how much you have taken advantage of." "Boss Du's move is really brilliant!" Zhuang Zhiqi exclaimed. Du Linxiang took another puff of cigarette: "It's up to man to make things happen. Whether he's willing to spend money or not, the initiative is in Xu Haocheng's hands after all. Whether this trick will work or not, it's hard to say now." Zhuang Zhiqi thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Du's offer is not bad, but I think it's more effective to go to Lu Youshun at this moment." Hearing this, Du Linxiang was a little surprised: "Lu Youshun has already rejected us, what's the use of looking for us?" "It's useful!" Zhuang Zhiqi said, "It's not that Lu Youshun doesn't have money, it's his money. It's not good to invest it in Weitong openly. I mean..." Zhuang Zhiqi was halfway through speaking when Du Linxiang's cell phone rang.He took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button: "Mr. Lai, hello!" It was Lai Jingdong who called.At this moment, he has interrupted his plan to stay in Wutai Mountain for a while, and hurried back to Beijing in a hurry.Lai Jingdong asked, "Mr. Du, where are you?" Du Linxiang said lazily: "I'm in Beijing. The listing has been suspended, so I have to go out and look for money." Lai Jingdong said: "I'm also in Beijing. I wonder if I can invite Mr. Du to sit down at the house?" "What's the matter?" Du Linxiang looked listless. Lai Jingdong said: "There is something, you will know when you come here." "Okay." Du Linxiang said. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Du Linxiang walked into Lai Jingdong's study room named "Rereading Residence".Although Lai Jingdong was full of anger, he still shook hands with Du Linxiang graciously and made tea himself.After sitting down, Lai Jingdong said slowly: "Our company has been in Hezhou for the past few days. According to the contract, Weitong did not go public on time. Several properties in Hezhou have to be compensated to Taijiang Capital. They just do it. Handing over the work." "I know." Du Linxiang said, "When I was still in the United States, I called the people in the company and said that after the suspension of the listing, people under Mr. Lai would probably come to take over. We are willing to admit defeat and work hard. Do a good job of cooperating." "Thank you very much!" Lai Jingdong sneered, "At the beginning, I wondered, Mr. Du is not a person who is driven by his will, why would he take the risk of the company's bankruptcy and suspend the listing? Now I understand that Mr. Du still has a trump card in his hand. " "What's the trump card?" Du Linxiang was like a mirror in his heart, but he continued to pretend to be confused. Lai Jingdong took out a stack of materials from the drawer and handed it to Du Linxiang: "Mr. Du, what's going on?" Du Linxiang took it over and glanced at it for a while and said, "This material is too thick, and I can't finish reading it for a while. If there is anything, Mr. Lai can just talk about it." Lai Jingdong suppressed his anger and said: "When we signed the VAM agreement, we specially provided bridging loans to divest all the debts of these properties. But now when I receive them, I can see that these properties are deeply in debt and insolvent. .To be more clear, when we conducted the financial audit, you made a move." Lai Jingdong patted the table angrily: "Mr. Du, deliberately making false accounts is a crime! You will be jailed!" "False accounts? No way?" Du Linxiang smiled, "For the financial audit back then, Mr. Lai has taken out double insurance, including an old lady from Shaanxi who can't even speak Mandarin, and a foreign accountant from England. The two groups of people perform their own duties and supervise each other, and behind them are Mr. Lai and Mr. Chen, who are first-class masters. If we make fake accounts, will you not find out?" "You're very proud, aren't you?" Lai Jingdong cast a gloomy gaze, "I'm also to blame for my misjudgment. I only know that Mr. Du came from a reckless background, and those in your company's finance department have ordinary skills, but I forgot, you guys There is also Zhuang Zhiqi, a master of finance and economics! Unexpectedly, the great talent of the past has fallen to the point of making false accounts today." Du Linxiang laughed loudly: "Boss Lai is really wrong to blame Zhuang Zhiqi. I have never seen Zhiqi's ability to make false accounts. But with his literati temperament, it is estimated that his ability is not very high! Let him make false accounts , I’m still worried that I won’t be able to hide it from Mr. Lai’s eyes.” Du Linxiang went on to say: "Today I will open the skylight and tell the truth. False accounts were indeed done, but the person who did the trick was someone else." "Who?" Lai Jingdong asked. "Gu Weimin." Du Linxiang said, "Before the financial audit, I still asked an old friend to find Gu Weimin who had disappeared for a long time in Dubai. This Mr. Gu is really good at making fake accounts. When he sold the shell, Neither I nor the auditing company hired by Wan Shunlong can see any problems. If it wasn't for the insiders who betrayed him, this kid really got away with it." "It turned out that it was Gu Weimin who made the move. No wonder our people didn't find it tricky." Lai Jingdong said bitterly, "In the long heart-to-heart conversation in Chongqing, and in the future contact again and again, Mr. Du is all acting. You early You just made up your mind that you want our investment, but you don’t want to gamble with your property. You don’t want to take any risk!” "That's right." Du Linxiang took a sip of tea, "If I didn't invite Gu Weimin to come out, I wouldn't dare to sign this gambling agreement. But this is what I learned from Mr. Lai. Those convertible bonds you got, and Don't you want to take a little risk if you gamble with the real thing, or even use a bridging loan to divest us of all the debts?" "Fart!" This was almost the first time Lai Jingdong scolded someone in many years, "Everything I do is in line with business rules, but you are using the worst tricks of making fake accounts." Du Linxiang smiled: "When I was in Chongqing, Mr. Lai said something that I still remember vividly! Mr. Lai taught me that there are no rules in the world? The only rule is that the strong make the rules." Lai Jingdong paused and said: "Mr. Du accepted my investment of more than 100 million US dollars. Now I can't go public on time, and the property I am compensated for is all insolvent rubbish. You don't think I will just let it go, Let you steal the money?" Du Linxiang lit a cigarette leisurely: "We are friends after all, so I will help Mr. Lai analyze the situation. Mr. Lai has only three ways to go now. The first one is to formally file a lawsuit with the court and recover your investment through legal channels. It's a pity that this road is very difficult to work! It takes a long time to fight this kind of lawsuit in China, and it doesn't last for a year or so." "What's more important," Du Linxiang said in a high tone, "Weitong, which just suspended its listing, was stripped of several commercial real estate properties by Mr. Lai, and was exposed for making fraudulent accounts. It is estimated that it can only go bankrupt. I Du The evidence of a certain person making fraudulent accounts is solid, and the rest of his life will be spent in prison. However, Mr. Lai may not get his money back. You know in your heart that you are not the only creditor of Weitong, and you have to arrange debt collection Seats. There are at least two types of creditors, and Lai is always inferior to others. The first type is the major banks in Hezhou. They are all state-owned enterprises and will immediately take over Weitong's properties. The second category is the builders all over the country. Weitong owes them construction funds, and they also owe wages to migrant workers. When unpaid workers gather to ask for wages, no secretary or mayor will remember that Always such a creditor." Du Linxiang flicked the cigarette ash: "Mr. Lai knows how much Weitong has. It was ransacked by the first two types of creditors. What's left? Mr. Lai's money is probably lost. " Lai Jingdong's face was livid, and his clenched fists trembled unconsciously: "You are scaring me!" Du Linxiang said: "I have absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just a matter of fact. Next, I will talk about the second way. It seems that Mr. Lai's money will not come back, but you can't lose face. Solve the hatred in your heart. Just invite a few people to 'get rid of' me. Not for money, just for face." "The tricks of these hooligans, only you can think of!" Lai Jingdong said angrily. Du Linxiang said with a seemingly sincere face: "In this matter, it is true that I am responsible for Mr. Lai, not Mr. Lai. Even if I am 'killed' by you, I have no complaints. I will not hide anything from Mr. Lai. , I have already explained to the people around me that if I have any mishaps, it is purely my own fault and has nothing to do with Mr. Lai. The debts that I cannot repay in this life can only be repaid in the next life. " Lai Jingdong turned pale with anger.Chen Yuanxiong said that Du Linxiang, who only had a junior high school education, was a bit like Liu Bang, with a bit of a naughty personality.Lai Jingdong looked at Du Linxiang's broken and indifferent look, which was really similar to Liu Bang's threat to cook his father alive when Xiang Yu was threatened. "What about the third way?" Lai Jingdong asked. Du Linxiang said: "Mr. Lai forbearance for the time being. This money should be considered as my loan from you, and I will repay it in full upon the successful listing of Weitong." "Thank you for thinking it out!" Lai Jingdong refrained from swearing. "I'm serious." Du Linxiang said, "This is also the most feasible way for Mr. Lai in my opinion. To blame can only be blamed on those guys who came to Hezhou to conduct financial audits. It was because they were ineffective. It's why Mr. Lai is so passive, he really can't cry, laugh, get annoyed, or get angry." Lai Jingdong suddenly laughed, and the laughter was a little scary: "I said, how dare you suspend the listing at the beginning, it turned out that I was already determined." Du Linxiang said: "Tolerance is a knife on the head. Especially for a big man like Mr. Lai, it is naturally uncomfortable to endure such a low-level role like me. But Mr. Lai should also be able to figure it out. You are not looking at me, Du Linxiang. In face, but in the face of money." Lai Jingdong calmed down a bit.Du Linxiang's words today, although stupid, are not completely unreasonable.Forcing Weitong to go bankrupt, his money will really turn into water.He asked: "If you want to restart the listing, you have to find a sum of money to tide over the difficulties. Now that Weitong is in such a situation, can you still find money?" Du Linxiang has already heard that Lai Jingdong is planning to compromise.This was actually in his expectation.What a smart person Lai Jingdong is, he will never be arrogant.Du Linxiang said with a smile: "The matter of finding money has roughly begun. If there is no hope, I would not dare to suspend the listing." Lai Jingdong thought for a while and said, "Why should I trust you?" Du Linxiang took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then let it out: "I can't make any guarantees. But Mr. Lai should think about it, what else can you do besides trusting me! You were doomed when you failed to see through the fake accounts made by Gu Weimin. today's situation." Looking at Du Linxiang's leaving back, Lai Jingdong slumped on a chair.After a few minutes, he got up again and walked up and down the study.The anger could not be appeased anymore, he grabbed the teacup on the desk, dropped it heavily, and cursed viciously: "Du Linxiang, you fucking bastard!" The sound of the teacup being smashed was heard even by the servants downstairs.The servant hurried into the study and saw Lai Jingdong holding a broom and bending over to clean the stains on the floor.The servant asked, "What's the matter?" Lai Jingdong turned around and squeezed out a smile from his cloudy face: "Just now, I accidentally dropped the teacup on the ground. Don't worry about it, I can clean it up myself." After the servant left the study, Lai Jingdong sat back on the chair, his face became serious again.He was a little annoyed, how could he be so impulsive, and couldn't even control his emotions?Where have all the efforts in self-cultivation and self-cultivation gone? Lai Jingdong made another cup of tea, found a copy of Wang Yangming's from the bookshelf, and read it carefully.Wang Yangming was a great Confucianist in the Ming Dynasty. Whether in politics or scholarship, his attainments have always been respected by later generations.Admiral Togo Heihachiro of the Japanese navy, who once led an army to wipe out the Russian fleet that was far superior to his own in the Russo-Japanese War, the name of Togo Heihachiro is well-known in Japan, and juniors such as Yamamoto Fifty-Six and Okamura Ningji are even more famous. Dongxiang Heihachiro is regarded as the "God of War".It is said that Dongxiang Heihachiro always wears a waist card with only seven words on it: I bow my head and worship Yangming all my life. Lai Jingdong also highly respects Wang Yangming, and he especially appreciates Wang Yangming's knowledge on "nourishing Qi".My self, who has always been indifferent to emotions, lost his composure like this today. Lai Jingdong felt like "reading the sage's book in vain", so he had to pick it up and review it again. However, for a whole afternoon, Lai Jingdong was still unable to concentrate on the books.After playing with the eagle all his life, this time the eagle pecked his eyes. How could the old Jianghu Lai Jingdong not become angry from embarrassment! In the evening, Lai Jingdong summoned Chen Yuanxiong.The two walked out of the villa and went for a walk by the lake.Knowing that Lai Jingdong was in a bad mood, Chen Yuanxiong kept silent.In the end, it was Lai Jingdong who laughed at himself: "I heard that Du Linxiang suspended the listing, and I laughed at him as a reckless man. He is very thoughtful! A few years ago, he set up a trap for us to exploit." "What Du Linxiang did is simply a hooligan." Chen Yuanxiong said. Lai Jingdong shook his head: "It's also our fault for being careless!" Chen Yuanxiong said: "Looking back now, Du Linxiang's suspension of listing is only one aspect because the issue price is too low. What he is most worried about is that we hold too many shares and threaten his controlling position. However, we never thought about it from the beginning to the end. Swallow Wistron. As an investment company, we are not interested in the real estate business, we just want to get as much profit as possible from this investment.” Lai Jingdong smiled bitterly: "Just like I don't believe in Du Linxiang, Du Linxiang doesn't believe me at all. It is precisely because of this distrust that Du Linxiang would rather imagine the worst. It is a pity that he doesn't believe me and can suspend the listing; I don't trust him, but I can't come up with any countermeasures, I can only let him get what he wants." "Teacher, I still don't understand." Chen Yuanxiong asked, "Du Linxiang's suspension of listing is still a big gamble. And if he fails, he will go bankrupt. If he agreed to our conditions to complete the listing, even according to the worst scenario , but only lost the controlling stake. He is still the second largest shareholder of Weitong, a billionaire with a net worth of billions." "We have done all our calculations, but we missed this point." Lai Jingdong sighed, "There are billionaires on one side and bankrupts on the other. Normal people know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But Du Linxiang is different. He is a A man with a strong desire for control! Weitong was created by himself, and he can destroy it with his own hands, but he will never watch his life's hard work become someone else's wedding dress. Even if it is only a small or even self-righteous possibility, He also wants to try his best to put an end to it. There is a saying, "It is better to give gifts to friends than to slaves." Du Linxiang has the same thoughts, even if Weitong is destroyed, others can't take it away!" Chen Yuanxiong nodded: "We have indeed overlooked this personality in Du Linxiang." He continued to ask: "Weitong must start the second round of private placement, and then find a sum of money. Is this reliable?" Lai Jingdong shook his head: "I don't know. Du Linxiang didn't even go back to Hezhou when he came back from the United States. He was looking for money in Beijing all day long. Seeing his appearance like ants on a hot pot, he probably didn't go well. However, this person from Chengfu It's extremely deep, if you don't have a little bit of confidence, you probably wouldn't dare to make this decision rashly." Lai Jingdong's heart became more and more heavy: "We are the most pitiful. We were cheated by him, and we have to hope that he succeeds in the end and pay back our money sooner." Chen Yuanxiong asked again: "Should we continue to accept those properties in Hezhou?" "Of course." Lai Jingdong said. Chen Yuanxiong said: "At the beginning they fiddled with the accounts, and a lot of debts were not divested at all. These things are almost insolvent, and it is a hot potato when they get it." Lai Jingdong said: "Don't worry about it so much, bring the things here first. Weitong will really collapse one day, after all, we still have a few things in our hands. At that time, countless creditors will definitely come to the door, but we can also produce evidence , saying that he was cheated. Let’s just talk slowly, it’s better than getting nothing at all.”
