Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 608 You know the truth
After finishing his conversation with An Ying half an hour in advance, Luo Yang left the company early and headed for Songjiang.

When they arrived at the house next to Fangta Park, not to mention Jiang Fan, even Luo Jianguo arrived back earlier than him.

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

When Luo Yang walked in, Gu Honglan was just walking out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. Jiang Fan was helping to set the table, and Luo Jianguo was pouring wine into the glass, probably wanting to have a drink with his son.

Since entering their senior year, Luo Yang and Jiang Fan have never come to live here again.

Even though I lived here for one or two days every weekend during my junior year, I always felt like something was missing in the house. Now I suddenly understand that what was missing was the atmosphere of home and life.

"Yangyang, drink with me."

"Aren't you going to drive back this afternoon? Why are you still drinking?"

Luo Yang has a driver, so it's okay for him to drink a little, but Luo Jianguo has to drive his own car back, so he can't drink.

"Your mother will go back with you in the car. I have to go back to the company to do some things in the afternoon, so I may not be able to leave until after five o'clock."

Luo Jianguo smiled and said, "It's no problem to drink two or three taels of wine at noon."

At this time in 2012, the policy of checking drunk driving had not yet been fully implemented, and most drivers were not aware of it. There were many people who drove after drinking. For people like Luo Jianguo who remembered to leave an afternoon behind, it was the result of Luo Yang's repeated reminders.

The liver of a normal human body can secrete enough enzymes to break down the alcohol in one or two glasses of 45-proof liquor every hour.

According to this calculation, if Luo Jianguo drank three or four taels of liquor and drove four hours later, it would not be considered drunk driving.

"Okay, I'll have a drink with you."

"Make way, the chicken soup is ready!"

Gu Honglan carried the casserole and brought the last dish to the table.

"Fanfan, don't rush to serve the rice, drink a bowl of chicken soup first."

Empress Dowager Gu always showed her unconditional love for her daughter-in-law: "This is a free-range chicken that I specially got from the surrounding villages. Look at the color of this soup, it's bright yellow."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking, and the father and son are chatting.

"The company has held meetings over the past two days, and the content of the discussions is all about the future development direction. It can be said that it is the strategic guiding policy for Cathay Pacific in the next three to five years. Mr. Fu attaches great importance to it."

Luo Jianguo glanced at his son and said, "I heard that you also provided some suggestions?"

"Well, I played a game of ball with Fu Bin a few days ago, and we happened to talk about this matter. I also reached two cooperation intentions with him."

Luo Yang did not hide it from his father and simply recounted what they had talked about when playing basketball a few days ago.

"No wonder."

Luo Jianguo tapped the table lightly. "I was wondering why Mr. Fu threw the most difficult part to the engineering department and asked us to figure out a solution. So he still wants to get advice from you!"

"I think you have the ability to handle it, Dad."

Luo Yang raised his glass with a wicked smile: "I won't say any more."

"Hahaha"

Hearing his son's words, Luo Jianguo laughed out loud: "Don't look down on your father, I can definitely come up with a proper plan myself."

Luo Yang smiled and said nothing.

In the past, Fu Bin and Luo Yang communicated directly, and providing a solution at this time was a favor.

What Luo Jianguo showed now was just his normal work performance.

This can also be considered a kind of tacit understanding.

The father and son clinked their glasses lightly and each took a sip.

"Yesterday afternoon, Lao Fu came to me and told me something."

After putting down the cup, Luo Jianguo's expression became serious: "He said Cathay Pacific will definitely take the path of rapid expansion in the future, and will try various financing methods. Not to mention loans, the key is to introduce new shareholders, and even increase capital."

Even if Luo Yang didn't continue speaking, he could still understand the meaning behind the next words.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Luo Yang still respected his father's opinion and did not express his own thoughts first.

"If it were in the past, I might have been a little more ambitious and would have fought for this family while I was still healthy."

Luo Jianguo said with emotion: "I never expected your transformation. In just over three years, you have created such a large family business. Even if your old man risked his life and worked for another 30 years, he wouldn't be able to earn a fraction of that, so he has given up the idea now."

"That's right, why are you working so hard?"

Gu Honglan seized the opportunity to instill her own ideas: "In the next few years, Yangyang and Fanfan will definitely have children. If we are still as busy as we are now, who will help them take care of the children?"

After saying this, Jiang Fan's cheeks instantly turned red.

His little face was almost buried in the bowl, and he drank the chicken soup silently.

"Dad, do you mean to let the shares be diluted?"

Luo Yang ignored Empress Dowager Gu's nagging and looked at Luo Jianguo and said, "Dad, if I say that in the next six or seven years, Cathay Pacific may become a listed company with a market value of 100 billion, do you still think so?"

"Dilution is dilution. What did you say?"

Luo Jianguo, who had been acting nonchalant, suddenly realized what was happening and froze in the middle of his words.

Not to mention Luo Jianguo, Gu Honglan, who was concerned about her grandson, and Jiang Fan, who was embarrassed, all looked at Luo Yang in surprise.

“Can it reach a market value of 100 billion?”

After Luo Jianguo came back to his senses, he asked anxiously: "You have told me more than once before that in seven or eight years, the real estate market will usher in the copper and iron era, and the afterglow will be gone. How can Cathay Pacific..."

"Cathay is an industrial property, which is different from urban properties."

Luo Yang explained and continued, "If Fu Bin does not deviate from the strategic development direction, it will not be difficult for Cathay Pacific to achieve this scale in the future, especially in the past four or five years, which is its golden period of expansion."

"Old man, does our family own 20% of the shares in the company?"

Gu Honglan could still do the simple calculations: "If it reaches a scale of 200 billion, wouldn't our shares be worth more than billion?"

"Dad, please think carefully about whether you want to increase your investment."

Luo Yang repeated the previous question again, but this time it had more weight.

"Is it even necessary to think about it?"

The Queen Mother Gu had a simple and honest thought: "We must increase the capital. 200 billion yuan, how nice it would be to leave it to our grandchildren in the future?"

Jiang Fan, on the other hand, calmly interrupted and said, "Luo Yang, you and my father are still raising funds to enter the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry in two or three years. If Cathay Pacific's capital increase is large..."

What this means is that not only may Luo Yang not have enough cash flow, but Jiang Yuanshan may not be able to withdraw it either.

Unlike Fu Bin, in addition to Cathay Pacific, he also owns Santai Real Estate. In the current year when the real estate situation is good, he has abundant cash flow.

This is really a problem.

Luo Yang now has a lot of cash flow, but as Jiang Fan said just now, he has to save his money.

The money will not only be used in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles, but also in the next one or two years, the acquisition of the group's headquarters building in Shanghai will require money, and the establishment of a new food company outside the milk tea system will require a lot of funds.

It’s not a big problem to withdraw 100 or 200 million yuan.

I’m afraid it’s not enough.

Luo Yang has been in the real estate industry for more than ten years and is well aware of how much cash flow this capital-intensive industry demands.

Unlike urban real estate, which has such a large leverage, it can mortgage the land in a short time after acquiring the land and withdraw a large amount of funds. In years with good market conditions, the cash flow can return to positive after six or seven months.
Industrial real estate projects involve primary land development, and the development company needs to advance funds in the early stages.

Therefore, Cathay Pacific's demand for funds is not as simple as tens of billions. In a development cycle of two to three years, it is at least tens of billions, and it is not surprising that it is even in the order of hundreds of billions.

Of course, Fu Bin couldn't have so much of his own funds, and the bulk of it was also financed through financing channels. "Dad, I think we can just set a bottom line for ourselves."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Fu Bin has understood the future potential of Cathay Industrial Real Estate. It depends on whether he is determined to dilute your shares. If so, forget about maintaining a 20% stake. Retaining 5% is the bottom line."

"What if he doesn't have that intention?"

Perhaps he felt that there was something wrong with his expression, Luo Jianguo frowned and corrected him: "Or it could be said that we are not so determined yet."

“I’ll be satisfied with retaining 10% of the equity for a short period of time.”

Luo Yang replied without hesitation: "Of course, the premise is that our capital increase is not so resolute, or it will not arouse Fu Bin's vigilance."

The content contained here is quite interesting.

After seeing Cathay Pacific's prospects, did Fu Bin have such thoughts?
There is no need to guess or doubt this, it is 100% true!
However, this kind of thinking will not be reflected all at once, or due to other factors such as face, it will not be so resolute in a short period of time.

But if Luo Jianguo shows his determination to defend his 20% stake and refuses to be diluted.
At that time, don't even mention Luo Yang's favor. When faced with hundreds of billions of dollars in benefits, no favor will work.

Fu Bin is not the only one who has this kind of thinking, Luo Yang also has it.

Luoshengtang, which previously owned the two brands Nayuki and Lemon CC, now has to give out 45% of its shares to others because He Maosong, Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun hold 45% of the shares. If it does anything else under this system, it will have to give out % of the shares.

How could Luo Yang be willing to accept this, so he and An Ying were secretly thinking about starting a new business.

Spicy strips are an experimental project, and the same is true for the future food industry.

"I understand!"

After this analysis, Luo Jianguo's mind became much clearer.

He smiled and said, "My previous mentality was good. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, I'm dead!"

Gu Honglan didn't understand the twists and turns, but she could tell that her husband and son seemed ready to give in, so she sighed and said, "We lost a lot of money!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing his mother's sigh, Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What he waited for was naturally the angry glare of Empress Dowager Gu.

"Okay, Mom, your son should earn this money separately!"

Seeing that the endless nagging was about to jump out, Luo Yang quickly comforted him: "I will fill the gap on Dad's side!"

"That's more than 10 billion!"

"I won't give it to you according to 20 billion!"

"Not to replenish me!"

Queen Mother Gu had a clear idea: "It's to give my grandson and granddaughter!"

Luo Yang patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Fan Fan, in addition to a son, you must give birth to a daughter in the future. Otherwise, even if you make up the 200 billion, you won't be able to complete my mother's mission!"

Jiang Fan has also learned to be a bad person now. He took Empress Dowager Gu's hand and said, "Mom, look at Luo Yang. He is clearly trying to shirk his responsibility!"

Can you sue for this?
Hey, it really works. It works here with Empress Dowager Gu.

"At least three, two sons and one daughter!"

Gu Honglan raised three fingers and said, "Didn't you mention last time that there is this technology in Hong Kong that can guarantee twins, boy and girl, and the gender is no problem. I don't care, you go and handle this matter, I just want the result."

If this hadn't been mentioned, Luo Yang would have almost forgotten about it.

It is said that old ginger is still spicy.
Luo Jianguo did not participate in this topic, but just watched happily from the side.

It was a very enjoyable lunch.

While Gu Honglan was washing the dishes, Jiang Fan and Luo Yang started chatting in the living room.

"I've already submitted my graduation thesis, what about yours?"

"Oh, my admission quota has been confirmed!"

Luoyang Versailles Circuit: “Graduation thesis was already last week”

Jiang Fan: “.”

"By the way, we have already dealt with the security company this week."

Seeing his wife's chest rise and fall, Luo Yang knew he couldn't stimulate her any further, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "This company originally had a private bodyguard business. There are two female bodyguards who look good. It's a good idea to take them with you when you and mom travel to Europe."

"Is it great?"

Jiang Fan's attention was indeed attracted: "How many men can you beat?"

"With bare hands, it won't be a problem to deal with two or three normal adult men."

Luo Yang replied to Jiang Fan according to the answer he asked that day: "If you have a handy weapon, it won't be difficult to deal with five or six strong men."

Having equipment in hand and not having equipment in hand are two completely different concepts.

This is reality.

"I've been thinking about whether to add two more male bodyguards."

Luo Yang curled his lips and said, "We have to admit that in terms of physique, white people are still a little stronger than yellow people. The gap between Oriental women and white men is even greater."

"It's up to you."

Jiang Fan was not confused about this matter. She had money anyway, so she just followed her husband's arrangements.

"Our school's graduation ceremony is tentatively scheduled for June 6th. My husband and I have decided to have a dinner together before graduation, and everyone should bring their families."

"Tell me the dinner time a few days in advance and I'll make it available."

Luo Yang agreed straightforwardly: "It won't take long to drive from the Magic City to your school anyway."

"Do you have such a party in your dormitory?"

Jiang Fan changed the subject: "Do you all have family members?"

Good guy, I’m waiting for Luo Yang here.

"The ones who are confirmed at the moment are me and Chang Sheng, the local Little K in Shanghai. The boss Lu Hao was dating someone, but I don't know if they broke up. As for the other one, you know, he has been a bootlicker for several years and now avoids relationships. He is the only one who is confirmed to be single."

There was no way Luo Yang would give Jiang Fan any chance to take advantage of him, so his answer was flawless.

"That's it"

Jiang Fan did not give up: "Before graduation, there must be a lot of regrets to make up for. College is even more exaggerated than when we were in high school. Luo Yang, I remember there were several girls chasing you in your school. Now that graduation is approaching, didn't they look for you?"

"I donated 100 million to the school last week!"

Jiang Fan: “?”

"If I go back to school now, the people who receive me will be at least at the department level. How can I have the opportunity to interact with students?"

Luo Yang had a clear mind and resolutely avoided the direct question: "Besides, I owe another 200 billion in debt today. All I can think about is how to make money. Beautiful women are nothing but skeletons to me!"

"cluck"

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at Luo Yang in anger and amusement: "You're smart!"

"hehe."

Luo Yang grabbed Jiang Fan's hand and turned the tables on him: "Tell me the truth, has any boy ever confessed his love to you?"
