Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0416 Half Chicken, Fox
"Where did you go this afternoon?"
It was around eight o'clock in the evening when Ueto Masami returned to Downton Abbey from outside. As soon as she walked to the gate, she suddenly heard these words.
My heart trembled as I saw Nan Yi standing in the dark area on the left side of the manor, leaning against the wall.
"I went to see Catherine. I went to Mount Street with her in the afternoon." Ueto Masami showed the shopping bag in her hand.
"Wu Zhenkai's people have found the hotel where your bodyguard is staying."
"President, why are you letting them run into each other so early?"
"No, I'll have 'your bodyguard' leave London early tomorrow morning and go to the next city. It's not the time to let Wu Zhenkai know that you are the eldest daughter of the Mitsui family. Don't go out for the next two days. It's a good time to deal with the backlog of work."
"Hayi."
At this time, in Calgary, Scarlett was having lunch with two Husky Oil shareholders at a high-end restaurant.
In the morning, Scarlett Petroleum had signed a share transfer agreement with one of Husky's major shareholders, and Scarlett Petroleum owned 12% of Husky's shares.
Two days ago, Wu Zaisheng went to Calgary to attend a board meeting to discuss the issue of shares.
Because in a joint-stock company, when a shareholder wants to sell shares to others, he needs to inform and possibly obtain the consent of all other shareholders. Basically, there will be a preemptive purchase agreement between shareholders, and under the same conditions, shares will be sold to other shareholders first.
Husky Oil's recent situation is not very good, and other shareholders have no intention of increasing their shares, so Scarlett Oil was able to purchase these shares very smoothly.
The two shareholders who had lunch with Scarlett also wanted to sell their shares, but their attitude was to wait and see. That is to say, the price still needed to be negotiated. If Scarlett's offer reached their psychological price, they would not hesitate to sell.
At around 2:00 p.m. Vancouver time, Scarlett called Nan Yi and told him that the talks were going well and that as long as the stalemate lasted for a while, the shares of the two shareholders should be able to be acquired.
Hearing the good news, Nan Yi happily washed up and prepared to rest.
For the next two days, Nan Yi and Ueto Masami did not go out. Ye Ronghuan came and discussed the details of the loan, and then signed the loan contract.
After receiving the transfer, Ye Ronghuan immediately went to visit Catherine. The 1.5 million pounds could only solve Rong Yexing's urgent needs. Three months later, Rong Yexing would not have any idle funds in its account to repay the money.
Ye Ronghuan could only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and after tearing down the east wall, he had to borrow a south wall to repair it.
Either you are borrowing money or you are on your way to borrow money.
This is what grassroots entrepreneurship and cross-level challenges are like. Without capital, you can only rely on borrowing.
In his previous life, Nan Yi was like this for a period of time. He was either going to the bank or on the way to the bank.
The business is developing too fast, but the customer base is too narrow and the revenue channel is too single. The company is recruiting new employees every day, and the staff is expanding rapidly. However, the customer's payment has a payment period ranging from three months to six months.
The salaries here have to be paid every month, and they are more every month than the previous one. There is a time difference between revenue and salary expenses. Expenditure comes first and income comes later. This time difference almost cost Nan Yi his life.
During that period, Nan Yi did not handle company affairs for half of the daytime throughout the year. He had to go to the bank to apply for a credit loan. He borrowed money to pay wages, and then paid back the loan after receiving payment from customers. As soon as he paid back the loan, he changed banks to continue borrowing.
Nan Yi, who has no property and whose only asset is a Chevrolet, cannot get a large mortgage loan and can only take out credit loans offered by various banks for small and medium-sized enterprises.
For more than two years, Nan Yi relied on credit loans, interspersed with some high-interest loans from the private sector, to keep the company going until it entered a virtuous cycle and the company's profits would not all be turned into interest to be paid back to others.
He had tried to get the money from the client the next day, but he might not be able to survive tonight's situation; when he was forced into a corner, he also borrowed money at a 10% interest rate a day.
In the first year, if there was no need to pay interest, Nan Yi's company could have made a profit of more than two million. But at the end of the year, he couldn't put a single cent of the dividends into his own pocket. He could only pay himself a salary so that he would have enough money to celebrate the New Year.
The money in the account is not enough to pay the first month's salary for the next year. After the first month of the year, he will have to go to the bank again.
Ye Ronghuan's current situation is only slightly better than Nan Yi's at the beginning. If he can reach an agreement on financing with Catherine, he will have to bring expensive gifts to thank Nan Yi.
Financing is not something you can get just because you want it; high-quality partners are not something you can find just because you want to. At the beginning, Nan Yi did not expect to meet a rich second-generation who was not short of money to become his partner.
Bolin Investment Holdings is definitely Ye Ronghuan's best partner. Nan Yi has no intention of interfering too much in the development of Rongye Bank. He just wants to better build Nan's downstream industrial chain and supply and marketing chain, and get a share of the pie by the way.
…
As for Wu Zaisheng, Liu Agui has already found out through channels that there was indeed a person named Nan Yi in Pan American Investment in the past, and he was indeed the president of the Asia-Pacific region. The time of his joining and leaving the company also matched what Nan Yi said.
Liu Agui even found out about the projects that Nan Yi had participated in during his time at Pan American Investment.
Of course he had to find out. If Nan Yi's carefully prepared resume didn't fall into Wu Zaisheng's hands, how could Wu Zaisheng pay more attention to him?
After reading Nan Yi's resume, Wu Zaisheng's desire to bring Nan Yi to the Wu family became stronger and stronger. He believed that with Nan Yi's help, he would be able to regain his position as the heir to the Wu family.
Nan Yi was sitting on the lawn outside drinking afternoon tea. Not far away, an old fox with two little foxes stood there and observed for a while. When he found that the people around them were not paying attention to them at all, the old fox became bolder and walked towards Nan Yi with the two little foxes.
In London, foxes can be seen everywhere, on the streets, on buses, in residents' homes, and they even sneak into shopping malls and go to luxury stores to try out fox fur scarves to see if they are warm enough.
The three little creatures approached, and Nan Yi soon saw them. He looked up and said to the school beauty, "Go to the kitchen and cut half a chicken over here. Don't cut it into pieces, just bring it over here."
"yes."
After the school beauty left, Nan Yi said to the three foxes, "Old Five, Second Five, Third Five, are you hungry? If you are hungry, wait a while, you will have chicken to eat."
The old fox might often go to the city and was not too afraid of people. Without any hesitation, it walked straight to Nan Yi and lay down beside him. The two little foxes saw their mother's actions and followed her, but they did not lie down. They played around by the table, you grinned at me and I bared my teeth at you.
After a while, the school beauty came over with half a chicken. Nan Yi took it, but instead of throwing it on the ground, he put it directly into the mouth of the little fox whom he called Wu Er.
Wu Er looked at the chicken, drooling. He sniffed it a few times, tried it two or three times, then bit the chicken and ran away with his short legs.
Wu Sanyi couldn't bear it anymore, "Damn it, this bastard eats all by himself."
It also spread its legs and chased after Wu Er.
The old fox lying at Nan Yi's feet raised his head and glanced at Nan Yi with a bit of resentment, as if to say, "Others are using two peaches to kill three warriors, but you are using half a chicken to tease my son? Pah, you stingy guy."
After complaining, the old fox stood up and chased after his children.
Since they can eat chicken at his place, Nan Yi believes that these three foxes will come here every now and then, and may even stay here forever.
There are not many small animals in the manor, so it would be nice to have three foxes for fun .
