The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 1283: Can my brother do something that would put him at a disadvantage? (4000/8000)

"5 working days, OK!" Xia Zhenjiang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that this date was acceptable.

Xia Zhenjiang originally wanted to hurry back to report the good news, and by the way, tell the other two people, Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue, about Cao Shujie's request, and they had to reach an agreement, but Cao Shujie would not let him go.

Xia Zhenjiang came here with great difficulty, and Cao Shujie wanted him to have a meal before leaving.

As a result, Xia Zhenjiang was no longer in a hurry to go back. Cao Shujie called Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua, and the four of them went to the Fuxing Hotel in front to have some lunch.

During the dinner, the four people did not talk about borrowing money from the county. After all, they were all people with dignity to uphold.

But they talked about the current economic situation and how everyone is having a hard time.

And the situation like Pingyuan County seeking to borrow money from local enterprises is not only happening here, but also happening in other places.

Not to mention the situation in other cities and provinces, just in Yiling City, the situation in other districts and counties is the same.

Even because many "powerful" enterprises are financed by loans, they themselves are having a hard time at this time, and coupled with the fact that the enterprises are not profitable, let alone other things.

Some places may borrow money from local companies, some may borrow money from hospitals, and some may borrow money directly from universities.

There are so many different things, there is nothing they can't do, as long as you can think of it.

Some places even require subordinates to hand back the year-end bonuses distributed in previous years...

These bizarre things really happened, and it can be seen from this that financial problems do occur in various places.

However, this was not simply caused by an accident.

As the saying goes, a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight!
Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua do not have such worries. In Qingshi Town, as long as Xuemeng Food Factory and the cluster of enterprises that supply Xuemeng Food Factory do not have any problems and they can pay taxes normally, Qingshi Town's purse will be full and all aspects will be able to operate smoothly. As an important economic town, they even have a lot of economic surplus to help the county.

However, Shi Xiangdong and Dong Honghua were also discussing privately that they were also very "nervous" starting from this month. They could no longer be as honest as before and use their money to support the county's construction. Now, they have become the ones being fleeced by the county and have to bear the consequences themselves.

The four of them were toasting each other and chatting about the current overall economy. Cao Shujie only said one sentence: "It's just the beginning now. It will be even more difficult in the next five years at least."

Xia Zhenjiang and the other two did not know where Cao Shujie's theory came from, but they felt that as a successful businessman, Cao Shujie had friends of Lei Jun's level, so they thought it was normal for Cao Shujie to get some inside information from those friends.

It was precisely because of this that Xia Zhenjiang felt very depressed. Then he thought that if they did not use the 2000 million yuan they borrowed from Cao Shujie sparingly, it would not last long. When the money was gone, the nine of them would have to borrow money again.

He couldn't control who other people borrowed money from, but if one day Xia Zhenjiang really came to Cao Shujie to borrow money for the second time, he felt that he would be too embarrassed to come here.

When leaving, Xia Zhenjiang seemed to be worried.

After watching Xia Zhenjiang's bus go away, Shi Xiangdong said to Dong Honghua, "Mayor Dong, we are in a difficult situation too. We must tighten our belts and not spend lavishly like before. If we have any more projects, we must review them thoroughly and report to the county. We must also respect our predecessor Chengguan Town. After all, Chengguan Town's economy is still ahead of ours."

Dong Honghua looked at Shi Xiangdong, and he immediately understood what Shi Xiangdong meant.

To sum it all up, it can be summed up in two words: "Hide your shortcomings!"

However, the economy of Chengguan Town had already experienced a recession last year. Even if they were to be more humble, as long as the Xuemeng Food Factory was there, there would be no economic recession. What should they do?

When Shi Xiangdong heard Dong Honghua talk about this, he was also very embarrassed. He suddenly realized that too good economic development is not a good thing at certain times.

No matter what they do, Cao Shujie just does his own thing.

Xia Zhenjiang came to borrow 2000 million yuan, which is not a small amount. Many companies in the county do not even have 2000 million yuan in annual profits.

So as for the Pingyuan County Flour Mill and the Pingyuan County Steel Ball Factory, as long as the other party borrowed money, Cao Shujie would be determined to get it and he would not show any mercy.

If the other party goes back on his word, Cao Shujie has plenty of ways to deal with it.

Xia Zhenjiang returned to the county with the results of the negotiations and immediately reported the results to the county's top official Yu Dong and second-in-command Bian Shixue, both of whom agreed.

They had no objection to Cao Shujie using money to exchange shares in the flour mill and steel ball factory, especially to Cao Shujie's desire for controlling rights.

For them, both Pingyuan County Flour Mill and Pingyuan County Steel Ball Factory are loss-making enterprises, and the losses are very serious. They themselves are unable to manage these enterprises well, and even paying wages to these loss-making enterprises has also dragged down the county's finances. If Cao Shujie can really develop these enterprises, they will get some shares and dividends from them, which can at least alleviate the problem of tight funds in the county.

This is a good thing.

"Comrade Zhenjiang, how many days will it take for General Cao to conduct a third-party evaluation?"

After hearing Xia Zhenjiang's announcement that the flour mill and steel ball factory would be appraised within five working days at the latest, Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue felt that this time was too long and wanted Xia Zhenjiang to urge it again.

But Xia Zhenjiang also told them that the matter had come to this point and if they pressed the issue any further, it would be counterproductive and might even have a counterproductive effect.

It would be better to wait a few more days as it is now.

A maximum of 5 working days.

After hearing what Xia Zhenjiang said, Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue finally agreed. After all, they were not familiar with Cao Shujie, while Xia Zhenjiang and Cao Shujie had some connection.

They even didn't dare to ask Cao Shujie for money. After all, it had only been three years since Wang Xueli was investigated.

If it were somewhere else, people could forget a lot of things in three years, but that's not the case here. Three years is too short, and they still remember things even before a full term is over.

Cao Shujie returned home that night and told his wife about the Pingyuan County Flour Mill and Pingyuan County Steel Ball Factory. Cheng Xiaolin thought that Cao Shujie was a little too arbitrary and wanted him to continue talking to the county. However, Cao Shujie also told his wife not to be too greedy, as she might not be able to keep the things she wanted.

Cheng Xiaolin roughly understood what her husband meant, and she didn't say anything more afterwards. She thought that since she couldn't figure it out, she would just let her husband figure it out himself.

Three days later, Cao Shujie arranged for someone to find a third-party assessment agency from Beijing. After waiting for the people from the third-party assessment agency to arrive, Cao Shujie called Xia Zhenjiang again and asked him when they could meet.

Xia Zhenjiang naturally wanted it to be as fast as possible, as he was really afraid that there would be more changes on Cao Shujie's side.

As far as Pingyuan County is concerned, there is no one richer than Cao Shujie.

After Cao Shujie, Xia Zhenjiang and the third-party assessment agency met, Xia Zhenjiang learned through the introduction that this assessment agency was from Beijing. He thought that Cao Shujie must be on guard against any mischief in Pingyuan County.

Otherwise, we would not have looked for a third-party evaluation agency in Beijing.

But it doesn't matter. Xia Zhenjiang has no bad intentions towards Cao Shujie, and Xia Zhenjiang knows even better that they can't beat Cao Shujie.

Rather than offending others and ending up with no good consequences, it is better for everyone to cooperate well.

The key is that they need help now. Cao Shujie really didn't expect Pingyuan County to be so cooperative. After the two sides met, Cao Shujie also met with Duan Yudong and Bian Shixue. Then the third-party auditing agency invited by Xuemeng Food Factory from Beijing began to conduct asset evaluation of Pingyuan County Flour Mill and Pingyuan County Steel Ball Factory.

At this stage, Cao Shujie is no longer in a hurry. He definitely wants a third-party agency to conduct a more detailed asset assessment of the two factories to avoid any loopholes. If he doesn't know about it and plunges into it headfirst, Lei Jun will make a fool of himself.

After all, this third-party evaluation agency was introduced by Lei Jun.

During the audit period, the Pingyuan County government actually hoped that the third-party audit agency would be more efficient. However, it was useless for them to urge them, as the people from the Xuemeng Food Factory followed them throughout the process.

There were also people from the Pingyuan County Government following them. Seeing that Hu Yong from the Xuemeng Food Factory was not easy to talk to, the Pingyuan County Government did not use any other means.

During this period, Cao Shujie did nothing else but traveled between the company and home, looking particularly relaxed.

He looked like he was entering early retirement.

Not to mention outsiders, even his wife Cheng Xiaolin is envious.

However, Cheng Xiaolin also asked him about the progress of the audit. Upon learning that there was no result yet, Xiaolin also wondered if the efficiency of the third-party audit agency was too slow?
But in Cao Shujie's words, "These companies are shady. All the bad debts and hidden tricks in the past must be uncovered at once, otherwise it would be better to get rid of them."

Cheng Xiaolin absolutely believed what her husband said.

……

In Yiling city.

In Zizhuyuan Community, Cao Huifang was packing her clothes, preparing to return to Caojiazhuang later.

Not far away, there was a little boy sitting on the ground, playing with a remote-controlled tank car in his hands.

He would call out "Mom" while playing, and if Cao Huifang didn't respond, he would call out twice more.

This is Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi’s son, named Tong Qinwen, who is almost two years old this year.

After finally packing all the clothes and things her son needed into the suitcase, Cao Huifang breathed a sigh of relief.

Her husband Tong Jiayi was packing up his son's toys and milk supplies in the living room.

They have changed a lot in these three years.

Cao Huifang and her good sister Deng Miaoshan still make videos together, but after Deng Miaoshan married Lian Qijian, she started her life of raising a family, so they spend less time making videos together.

Fortunately, the other half of the family can earn money.

But Cao Huifang never expected that her best friend would end up falling in love with Lian Qijian.

This was introduced by her husband Tong Jiayi.

Lian Qijian's living environment since childhood was not much different from Deng Miaoshan's, which made them feel that they had found the right person.

After a few interactions, the speed at which their relationship progressed was beyond the expectations of Tong Jiayi, the matchmaker.

So much so that in the first year after Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi got married, Deng Miaoshan and Lian Qijian also got married quickly and now have a one-year-old girl.

When Cao Shujie learned about this, he was so surprised that he didn't know how to express his feelings. It was too bloody. But when he thought about it carefully, Cao Shujie felt that this matter was also quite interesting.

"Huifang, are you done cleaning up?" Tong Jiayi asked him outside.

Cao Huifang shouted from the bedroom: "Brother Tong, take Qinwen out first. He keeps making trouble for me here."

"Okay." Tong Jiayi came in, picked up his son and walked out, but the little guy didn't want to look for him and insisted on looking for his mother.

Tong Jiayi didn't let go, so the little guy started crying in his arms, wiping him with snot and tears. Tong Jiayi was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.

"Brother Tong, find him a toy and let him play with it for a while." Cao Huifang shouted in the bedroom.

When Tong Jiayi heard his wife say this, he quickly changed the toy and handed it to his son. It really worked. The little guy stopped making noise immediately after taking the new toy.

It was half an hour later when they had packed everything and came downstairs with two suitcases and their son in their arms.

After putting the things in the trunk of the car and carrying two boxes of wine from the basement, Tong Jiayi drove the car while Cao Huifang held her son as they drove towards Caojiazhuang.

In the car, Tong Jiayi also asked his wife if she knew about the county going to his brother-in-law to borrow money.

"The county is asking my brother to borrow money? Why are they asking him to borrow money?" Cao Huifang really didn't know about this.

In fact, not many people in the company know about this.

And Tong Jiayi happened to be one of the people who knew about this.

After he told his wife the whole story, Cao Huifang exclaimed it was unbelievable.

"They also have no money? Where did all the money go? Did they squander it all? Did my brother really lend them money?" Cao Huifang muttered. This money was like throwing meat buns at a dog and it would never come back.

But Tong Jiayi told her: "Our brother is so smart, how can he suffer any loss?"

After listening to this, Cao Huifang agreed with what her husband said.

"Then how did he deal with it?" Cao Huifang was curious.

Later, I heard her husband talking about Cao Shujie looking for a third-party assessment agency to assess the Pingyuan County Flour Mill and Steel Ball Factory.

"Oh, I see. Are you thinking of taking this opportunity to buy shares?" Cao Huifang felt that his brother was indeed smart.

But Tong Jiayi said: "My brother's idea is to take over the two factories, but the county is still holding on to some shares. From what I hear, they want to get some dividends after the enterprises develop."

But Cao Huifang knows her brother well and thinks that some people in the county are too naive.

"Will my brother let them eat the dividends? This is a joke. I feel that my brother might have other means to drive them all out in the future." Cao Huifang is very confident in her judgment.

She felt that it must be correct.
