Being able to first buy two buildings and then easily come up with a huge amount of working capital of 40 billion won. If C headquarters can really do such a thing, my colleagues would probably have to stand at attention and salute Chen Chen when they see him.

Market capitalization is market capitalization, company size is company size, and working capital is working capital. The three are never the same thing.

"Is there enough time to go through the loan process?" Jin Shidai thought of asking the bank for help. "Given the size of C headquarters, getting a 40 billion loan is definitely not a problem."

"It's too late." Hong Shengcheng answered for him. "The amount of the loan is very large. The preparation of materials, submission of application, loan approval and other work must be carried out very carefully. The whole process from application to loan approval has already taken more than a month."

"Is it possible to ask for help from Tik Tok or Black Cat?" asked Hong Seung-sung.

"That's the last resort." Chen Chen sighed, "If I had to ask for this just for 40 billion, I would feel it's a pity."

Chen Chen will definitely be able to get the money if he asks for it from a certain audio platform or Black Cat, but as I said before, Chen Chen's connections on these two sides are limited, so it's best not to use it if possible.

In Chen Chen's opinion, 40 billion won is definitely not a situation worth using up his favor. After all, this number is too small for those two. If we want to borrow money, we should borrow a large amount.

After all, the amount of favor that those two will deduct from Chen Chen will not be small at all. It doesn't matter how much money it is, the main thing is that it will be counted as one attempt.

Therefore, as long as Chen Chen opens his mouth to that side, he will suffer a huge loss, to the extent that Chen Chen would rather use all the tricks he can and cannot use here than open his mouth to that side.

"Is it possible for our two companies to join forces?" Jin Shidai looked at Hong Shengcheng. "Starship has recovered after a long period of recuperation. In addition, the principle of only taking in and not taking out means that the company still has a lot of inventory in its account. If Cube Entertainment and Starship are of similar level, there may be a chance."

Only Jin Shidai can bring up this matter. If Chen Chen brings it up, it will be a little meaningless. And it is almost impossible for Hong Shengcheng to bring it up.

Cube Entertainment lent Chen Chen money to buy shares of Cube Entertainment and keep them in headquarters C. How could anyone spend his own money to tighten the collar that someone else put around his neck? This is simply nonsense.

"Although Cube Entertainment was quite lively recently, that was all caused by C Headquarters and iHQ. The company itself did not make any big moves." Hong Shengcheng replied: "So Cube Entertainment's financial resources may be much richer than Starship."

Before Chen Chen could speak, Hong Shengcheng continued, "iHQ only intends to sell it to President Chen, so I won't have any unrealistic dreams of keeping Cube Entertainment's funds in my hands and going to buy back the shares myself. If that happens, they might not even look at me straight in the eye."

"Besides, I don't have much confidence in competing in the overall competition one month later. I know very well that I can only get a few points at best."

"As long as I, Hong, am still in Cube Entertainment, I will never do such a thing as adding a lot of hidden dangers to Cube Entertainment just to get a few more points!"

"President Chen, I will immediately use all my authority and connections to raise funds after I return, and there will be a result in a week." Hong Shengcheng looked at Chen Chen, "I'll leave it to you during this period."

"I am the one who should trouble President Hong. After all, this is my business." Chen Chen nodded at him and replied.

"Then let's adjourn today?" Jin Shidai was quite positive. "I also have to move on the starship quickly. What I have to do is not that simple."

"The meeting is adjourned!" Chen Chen stood up and announced the end of the meeting. "You guys hurry up and I will also try to get some funds. In addition, I will also find the excuse we need. This is what the C headquarters should do."

In order to easily transfer the funds of Starship and Cube Entertainment to C headquarters for use, an actual name needs to be established. Otherwise, as soon as Chen Chen and the other two have handled the funds, they will have to go to the procuratorate together to be investigated for embezzlement of public funds.

After all, it is the company's funds that are being mobilized, not personal property. The company belongs to many people, and the company must be responsible for the many employees who rely on the company for survival.

However, since he had to come up with a pretext to pool the funds, Chen Chen thought of just going to the soy sauce bottle.

Anyway, I can't get around Soy Sauce Bottle, a brother company with which I have a good relationship, to borrow money, so I might as well do the cooperation project that I had discussed with Brother Zhenying before and keep in Soy Sauce Bottle.

What is this, three birds with one stone?

……

"Brother Zhenying, give me some money to spend."

Chen Chen broke into the president's office like a gangster.

"What did you say?" Park Jin-young was so surprised that he dug his ears with his fingers twice, "Is C headquarters short of money?! That C headquarters is actually short of money?!"

"But that's true." Park Jin-young muttered quickly, "We just built two buildings. Anyone who comes in will be short of money. It's better to say that if we bought two buildings and still have no shortage of money, then there's a problem."

"But why did you use up the funds so quickly when you knew you would need the money now? This is not normal, isn't it?"

Seeing that Park Jin-young was about to make wild guesses, Chen Chen quickly interrupted him.

"It's another emergency."

Chen Chen told Park Jin-young what happened yesterday, without hiding anything.

"You can understand why iHQ approached you to sell the remaining Cube Entertainment shares. You can even say that iHQ made a very correct choice. After all, selling them separately would extend the battle line and easily cause trouble."

"If a seller wants to buy some cheap shares, they can save a lot of money by targeting Cube Entertainment and causing its share price to fall."

"If I sell it to you, you don't have to worry about that. Your C headquarters is not crazy enough to fight against itself. And judging from your C headquarters' consistent performance, you are a super player capable of directly taking over the shares."

"It's just that iHQ didn't expect that the C headquarters, which has been spending money like crazy, would be out of money." Park Jin-young burst into laughter. "Hahaha, in such a serious situation, there would be a company that spends everything it has left. This is too crazy!"

"Stop laughing, and think about how much money you can get from the soy sauce bottle for me." Chen Chen smacked his lips impatiently, "C Headquarters will definitely need help to get through this difficult time."

"I can help, but what benefit can I get from it?" Park Jin-young spread his hands, "Starship and Cube Entertainment help without compensation because helping C headquarters is equivalent to helping themselves. I don't think this makes sense, right?"

"Of course the soy sauce bottle has its advantages." Chen Chen replied: "To raise funds, there must be a feasible project. In the end, this project will belong to the soy sauce bottle. What do you think?"

"C Headquarters, Soy Sauce Bottle, Cube Entertainment, and Starship, the projects that these four companies are involved in will definitely be able to offset the drop in stock prices caused by my departure from Soy Sauce Bottle." Chen Chen added: "This is of great benefit to Soy Sauce Bottle. You will definitely make a profit."

"Sure, no problem!" Park Jin-young didn't hesitate for a second, "Soy Sauce Bottle will try to collect the money without affecting myself and help you as much as possible!"

Just as Chen Chen said, it is a very good thing for Soy Sauce Bottle that the stock price of Soy Sauce Bottle does not fluctuate when the artist Chen leaves, and it is worth it for Soy Sauce Bottle to lend the money.

Besides, everyone knows that lending money to Chen Chen this time will make Chen Chen owe him a favor, and the value of Chen's favor is not low at all.

Therefore, Park Jin-young is very confident. He thinks that even if this matter is brought up at the general meeting, it will definitely be passed unanimously.

"What kind of project are you going to come up with?" Park Jin-young asked. "Whatever, anything is fine." Chen Chen seemed very casual, "It's just a trick of getting something for nothing. As long as it can pass the review, there will be no problem. It won't take much effort to clean up this operation later."

"When you said that, it took me back to a long time ago." Park Jin-young joked, "It was like this many years ago. People would come to your door with a PPT and get investment, then just do some work and run away with the money. This phenomenon has not been completely solved until now, and no one knows where to start."

"So I think if possible, we should come up with a project that might be useful. We have to plan for the so-called 'just in case'." Park Jin-young urged: "You have so many ideas, it shouldn't be too much to use one. It doesn't matter even if it is an unattainable dream, because maybe a miracle will happen."

"Tsk, is that how you want to play it?" Chen Chen narrowed his eyes, "Then let's name the project AI, it will definitely be super popular in the future."

“What is AI?”

As expected, Park Jin-young didn't understand.

"Study it yourself. I can't explain it to you in a few words." Chen Chen reminded: "Besides, we haven't finished discussing our business yet. You have to give me at least a guaranteed amount for the soy sauce bottle."

"That's right. We must handle this matter in a fair and impartial manner." Park Jin-young said seriously, "How much money do you want?"

"Brother Zhenying, just list your upper limit. There's no need for us to argue here." Chen Chen skipped the probing and said, "If the soy sauce bottle is not enough, I'll have to find help from other places."

"Five billion is the maximum." Park Jin-young held out a palm. "Although we can take out more, if it exceeds this number, the shareholders will definitely complain, which will be very troublesome."

The number Park Jin-young gave was very honest and even far exceeded Chen Chen's imagination. He had originally planned to get only twenty or thirty. After all, this was liquid capital, and taking it out would require extremely great pressure.

Soy Sauce Bottle doesn't need to work so hard to help C Headquarters, and there is no reason for him to do so. Park Jin Young gave this number obviously intending that Chen Chen would owe him a favor.

Naturally, Chen Chen didn't bother to be polite with him. Park Jin-young was a king of withstanding pressure, so he didn't mind this.

"A guaranteed minimum of 5 billion? As expected of one of the top three companies that has already exceeded a trillion market value!" Chen Chen flattered loudly, "It helped us solve a big problem in one go!"

"It's 5 billion at most, don't talk nonsense!" Park Jin-young scolded with a smile: "You can't get a cent more, but it's very likely to drop!"

"It has to be 5 billion!" Chen Chen's expression tightened, "This number must be reached!"

"..."

"Understood. It's 5 billion. I promise."

Seeing Chen Chen's serious expression, Park Jin-young immediately became serious as well.

"Well, that's enough."

After getting the guarantee, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Already collected enough?! Isn't this just the second day?!" Park Jin-young couldn't accept it after hearing this. He covered his heart and asked, "Where did you get so much money? Is the ability of C headquarters so exaggerated?!"

"It's almost enough, but we haven't got it yet." Chen Chen and Park Jin-young counted again on their lips, "C headquarters, Cube Entertainment, and Starship can work together to get 20 billion, right?"

"That's right." Park Jin-young nodded and said, "You guys are going to fight hard, so naturally you will get a lot more than the soy sauce bottle."

"Soy Sauce Bottle gave me another 5 billion, and now the gap is only 15 billion." Chen Chen spread his hands, "Then the matter is over, I can take care of the 15 billion myself."

"Wait a minute! What kind of bullshit horror story are you telling?!" Park Jin-young suddenly felt unwell. "Are you a big shot who can easily spend 15 billion?!"

"No, no, no, you are indeed a big shot, but didn't you spend all your money?" Park Jin Young couldn't accept it at all, "Can you really squeeze out so much money by squeezing your teeth?!"

"How is that possible?" Chen Chen curled his lips. "I mean to use up all the funds that were previously reserved, and then use my face as Chen Chen to borrow some more."

Now that we have completed the company-level stuff, it’s time to move on to the personal level.

For example, Chen Chen can sell the bitcoins he has saved for two or three years. During such a long period of time, the value of Bitcoin has increased nearly tenfold, which is an incredible amount of money.

Then Chen Chen had also persuaded the rich lady IU to buy a lot of Bitcoin. I think Ji Eun should be willing to lend this money to Chen Chen for emergency use.

"Can you introduce me to a rich man who can borrow 15 billion?" Park Jin-young joked, "If I ever need to borrow money, I should be able to get some with your help."

"You know this rich woman." Chen Chen glanced at him, "She's the proprietress of Alin Canteen."

When it comes to working capital, the catering industry is definitely a surprising place.

Although the only scene in Alin Canteen has always been Chen Chen throwing money into it, neither its normal performance nor its extraordinary performance during the epidemic will make people feel that it makes less money!
"Well, if it's A-lin's restaurant, then I'll accept it." Park Jin-young was speechless. "It's easy for people in the catering industry to get some working capital for you."

……

"Good sister, can you lend me some money?"

In the evening, Chen Chen served his girlfriend warm and delicious milk tea, saying some cheeky words.

"Sure, you have plenty of money." Pei Zhuxuan took the milk tea and took a sip, "How much do you want?"

"I want as many as I can get." Chen Chen replied, "It's not too much, it's not too little."

"Hmm?" Pei Zhuxuan's expression changed instantly, "Did something happen to you?"

"Just a little problem."

Chen Chen made a gesture of an angry Korean man, and then explained everything to Pei Zhuxuan.

"Oh, then I really have to support you. This is a serious and good career." Bae Joo Hyun straightened up, "I will give you my bank card tomorrow. You can spend as much as you want. Don't think about leaving a single cent for me."

There is nothing wrong with this behavior. The money in Bae Joo-hyun's bank card is all her personal income. It is natural for her to give it to her boyfriend, and no one can find fault with it.
