Back to the teenage years

Chapter 548: Just Five Minutes (Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscription)

The night is deep.

The whole city is brightly lit.

Zhang Yunqi and Li Yufei left Chuncheng Hotel.

The two walked on the spring breeze road.

The streets are quiet, the spring breeze is blowing, the camphor tree leaves are rustling in the shadows, and the broken clouds in the sky are fleeing southward in the dark night. In the distance are blurred mountains, in the near are the people imprinted in my heart, and in the sky are stars twinkling.

Everything is so strange.

Everything feels so familiar.

Li Yufei's heart was filled with emotions as she walked the old roads with old people and saw the old scenery.

But at this moment, the girl was not happy at all. Everything that happened tonight once again refreshed her perception of the young man beside her. Good and bad, sweet and bitter, all kinds of feelings surged in her heart. However, he didn't seem to want to say anything to her, and just followed her silently.

"Why did you hit someone?" Li Yufei finally broke the silence. She could look down on the whole world, but her heart was always defeated by the young man in front of her.

Zhang Yunqi lit a cigarette and asked, "Am I being too disrespectful to your uncle?"

Li Yufei is not a girl who gets angry easily. She is very opinionated, but at this moment, her flawless and beautiful face showed some annoyance: "You don't seem to realize the crux of the problem. Can a beating up Lu Yuanzhou solve the problem?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "In fact, many things cannot be expressed in words. I will try my best to explain to you the essence of the problem I see in this matter."

Li Yufei stopped and said, "Okay."

Zhang Yunqi took a puff of cigarette and said, "Your uncle is now a high-ranking official, and he is also the chairman of Xiangtai Pharmaceutical. But do you know how miserable Xiangtai Pharmaceutical's shareholders are now? The stock price has been falling endlessly, and it has become a mess within a few years of listing. Your uncle's life is not easy. Besides, your uncle's position has a 'deputy' in front of his 'department'. Behind the glory, he is neither up nor down, neither awkward nor embarrassing. At his age, he must want to go further. In terms of income, let alone others, even compared with your father, there is a huge gap."

Li Yufei realized what Zhang Yunqi wanted to say: "Do you think my uncle is unbalanced and will go astray?"

Zhang Yunqi did not answer this question, and said: "Why did Lu Yuanzhou come all the way to Jiangchuan? Why did he make such a generous donation to solve the current difficulties faced by your uncle? It may be because of you, but another fact I see now is that Lu Yuanzhou's family business Xiongsen Group is also engaged in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Xiongsen Group has already entered Lijin, which is very ambitious! Judging from the way he operates Qingwu Commercial Pedestrian Street, he is very adventurous and advocates opportunism, so it is possible to use financial leverage to swallow up the state-owned listed company Xiangtai Pharmaceutical! But do you know what this means?"

This passage is well-reasoned and makes all his inferences form a complete logical loop.

Li Yufei seemed to understand what he said, but remained silent.

Zhang Yunqi said: "Of course, you just need to keep these words in your heart. I hope I am overthinking, but my situation forces me to think this way. You are right that fighting can never solve the problem, but we cannot deny that it can intensify the real problem! And I just need to intensify this contradiction, because I need Lu Yuanzhou to be more radical or even completely lose his mind, so that I can have a chance to see his strategy and true purpose. Maybe you are confused when you hear this, why did I go to so much trouble to do this?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "Because I must get the land operation rights of Qingwu Pedestrian Street in Lijin City! Yufei, the reasons why I want to get that piece of land are complicated. I can't explain it to you in one or two sentences, but there is no doubt that the conflict between me and Lu Yuanzhou and even Xiongsen Group will only become more and more intense. Maybe one day it will come to a life-and-death situation! I have suffered a lot in this regard, and the people around me have suffered a lot. Now you are involved in this, which is not my wish, and I feel very sorry. From now on, you must have security around you 24 hours a day. I will communicate with your father later and let Ma Shi find a few female security guards."

After this long speech, the air was silent.

Under the warm street lights, Li Yufei looked at the profile of the young man next to her. His angular, emotionless eyes were filled with a maturity beyond his peers and an extremely suppressed calmness.

She had forgotten in which year and on which street corner she had met him. Over countless years, he had left her with countless unforgettable images that made up the memories of her entire youth, but none of them had made her feel as heartbroken as she did at this moment.

She suddenly felt that he was living a very tiring life.

But she couldn't do anything, not even the power to hug him.

After a long time, she finally suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, and said softly, "Oh, by the way, you still haven't told me why you fought."

Zhang Yunqi asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Li Yufei said: "Of course."

"For you." If Lu Yuanzhou hadn't brought up the matter of Chu Jian and Li Yufei and brought out that brilliant theory that women are like clothes, Zhang Yunqi wouldn't have beaten him up in front of Li Hongjie and Xie Yun.

Li Yufei stepped on a branch and it made a creaking sound. Without any warning, her heart began beating fast again and her beautiful little face became a little hot.

A long time, a long time.

Time passes in silence.

A moon rose above the sky at some unknown time, and its warm light, in the warm night breeze, fell on the warm-hearted girl.

Li Yufei looked at the surging spring river in the distance and said softly, "By the way, I remember you said at the dinner that you invested all your money in Aiwa Electronics?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded.

Li Yufei said: "You have no money, so what about the 500 million yuan subsidy for the people to buy medicine?"

It has been almost four years since Zhang Yunqi was reborn. He never thought that a girl would still care about him when he had no money. He said, "It's okay. I can pledge my shares. If that doesn't work, I can take out a loan. I also have a lot of real estate and cars that can be used as collateral."

He said it lightly.

He does hold a large amount of high-quality original equity.

If he could pledge his shares, he would be able to easily raise hundreds of millions of yuan, and he would not have to face the pressure of capital chain. However, in fact, if he wants to pledge his shares, there are many restrictions in the operation. The "Guarantee Law" was issued last year.

This law establishes the legal status of equity pledges. Article 75 of the law clearly stipulates that shares and stocks that can be transferred according to law can be used as pledge targets. Equity pledges have officially obtained legal status, but the supporting registration and publicity systems are not perfect. In addition, equity pledges are mainly concentrated in listed companies. Equity in non-listed companies has liquidity risks, lacks a trading market, and relies on the registration of industrial and commercial departments. Most places have not clarified the operating procedures, the legal effect is questionable, and it is difficult to deal with in the event of a default. Financial institutions rarely accept such pledges.

Of course, Li Yufei may not understand this.

She just remembered the four words "it really doesn't work".

But she didn't mention it again, and said, "By the way, Yunqi, Xiaoman was very unhappy about what you did today."

Zhang Yunqi said, "In the case of Li Xiaoman, she definitely didn't blame me for hitting Lu Yuanzhou. She just felt that I didn't give face to her father in that situation. I didn't take her father seriously, after all, he was the top leader of Jiangchuan. Although my original intention was not like that, the fact did lead to such consequences. Now that the matter is done, she has to understand and digest it herself."

"We are friends too, don't be too aggressive." Li Yufei glanced at Zhang Yunqi's profile and said, "I'll talk to her later."

After a pause, she frowned and said, "So many of the company's businesses are in Jiangchuan. If we anger Xiaoman's father this time, in the future..."

"Will Li Hongjie make trouble and attack my company's business in the future?" Zhang Yunqi continued Li Yufei's words, smiled and said, "It's not a matter of whether he wants to or not. It's easy to defeat a capitalist, but how difficult is it to support an industry? Moreover, these industries have now penetrated into every aspect of Jiangchuan society. It's not an exaggeration to say that a single move can affect the entire body. Take Aihua Electronics for example. It plays a huge role in developing intensive manufacturing, building large-scale industrial clusters, and boosting the city's GDP. No other company in Jiangchuan can compare with it, not to mention that Aihua Electronics doesn't have the superb ability to accommodate redundant employees. When I designed the 'Jiangchuan Model' of state-owned property rights reform for the city, it would be difficult to implement it."

Zhang Yunqi threw away his cigarette butt and continued, "Yang Jiarong saw through these things in the past, and Li Hongjie knows them now. I have no personal relationship with them, and I have never given them a penny. They help me and spend money to come up with policies for me only because they clearly realize that protecting me can make the hat on their heads bigger."

When Li Yufei heard this, she suddenly smiled and said, "Why do I feel like you are bragging?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "It's okay for you to say that."

Li Yufei said: "But I like to listen to it."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "That's fine. We're almost at your house. I haven't been here for a long time."

Chuncheng Hotel and the old Longjingyuan factory area are both on Chunfeng Road, not far away. As the two talked, they had already reached the gate of the old factory area for family members.

Li Yufei's home in Jiangchuan is still here.

Her father Li Jilin is in charge of the entire Liansheng Group. Although the operation center has been moved to the provincial capital Lijin, and the 5,000-acre large-scale lotus shrimp breeding project in Qiaoku Town, Lijin is also operating actively, the group's headquarters is in Jiangchuan, and it has more than a dozen subsidiaries. Li Jilin still has to work in Jiangchuan most of the time and usually lives in the old factory area of ​​​​Longjingyuan.

Compared with two years ago, the old factory area of ​​Longjingyuan has undergone tremendous changes. Except for the family area, the main part of the old factory area has been contracted out to Zhangji Catering by Liansheng Group to operate the Yuxianli Tourist Night Market.

This is the busiest time for the tourist night market, the streets are packed with people, and the air is filled with the smell of fireworks.

Li Yufei was still a little slow to react: "So fast."

Zhang Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "Yang Wei and Yan Shi have opened a barbecue stall at the Yuxianli Night Market. Do you want to go and have something to eat?"

Li Yufei glanced at Zhang Yunqi and said, "You probably still have a lot of things to deal with, Yunqi, shall we go again tomorrow night?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Okay, you should go to bed early." After that, he waved his hand, turned and left.

"The clouds are rising."

Zhang Yunqi walked about ten steps when he suddenly heard Li Yufei's voice behind him. He stopped and turned around to ask, "What's wrong, Yufei?"

Li Yufei rummaged through her bag, pulled out a bank card, and handed it directly to Zhang Yunqi: "I don't have much money. This is the advertising fee given by Aihua Electronics, and the New Year's money I have saved since I was a child. I have deposited it all into this card. You can use it. The password is my birthday."

Zhang Yunqi stared at the girl in front of him and didn't answer.

Li Yufei grabbed Zhang Yunqi's hand and put the bank card into his palm: "I want to charge interest from you, the big boss. How about an annualized rate of 10%?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Then the annualized rate should be 1000%."

Li Yufei had a smile on her face.

At this time, a spring breeze was blowing, and the girl's light green skirt was swaying under the warm street lights. In the distance, the breath of fireworks came from the Yuxianli Night Market.

She looked at him.

The big hand that was grasped in my palm seemed reluctant to let go.

However, for some reason, that smiling little face slowly revealed a hint of sadness, and even her voice became soft and trembling: "I feel like you seem to be thinner, taller, and your hair has become longer."

"No way, we just met at the beginning of the year."

"But I don't know why, every time I see you, it feels like three centuries have passed." The girl looked at the boy in front of her, her eyes seemed to contain summer dew, about to flow out: "Then, whenever you call my name, I want to laugh, as if I just got out of school and only waited for you at the school gate for five minutes."
