Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 574 She's your wife, how could you not know?!

Xu Zhiquan gasped:

Where did she get so much money?

How did you know that...?

Nie Fei thought for a moment: "Xie Bingran has competition prize money, and a bunch of commercial endorsements."

But raising 100 million... probably won't be too easy, will it?

She frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"It's hard to say for sure. Bing Ge's commercial value is now comparable to that of a top-tier celebrity."

I just don't know what price Director Li Yue negotiated for her.

Xu Chen had never actually asked Xie Bingran how much money she had before.

However, in the past two years, the commercial endorsements that Bing Ge has received have indeed become increasingly lucrative.

Jeep, Kunlun Mountain, Head & Shoulders, Louis Vuitton, Omega, U-Love-Me...

There are also prize money from those competitions.

Xu Chen had heard Xie Bingran mention that she had won her first world championship in Zurich, and the prize money from the competition itself, plus the rewards from the national team, Shanghai, and the provincial capital, amounted to more than two million, close to three million.

In fact, Xu Chen had just done some calculations and estimated that Bing Ge's net worth was at least 20 to 30 million, and could potentially be 40 to 50 million or even more.

Xu Zhiquan still found it unbelievable and looked at Xu Chen with a surprised expression.

Xu Chen began to speak:

"If she says there are 100 million, then there are 100 million."

"Brother Bing" always keeps his word.

Besides her own money, Xie Bingran said she could borrow some more.

Xu Zhiquan: "Borrow?"
What friends could she possibly have to borrow so much money…

Xu Chen thought for a moment:
"I'd guess it's Yao Ming, the basketball player..."

Wang Liqin, who plays table tennis...

Lindan playing badminton...

Guo Jingjing, the diver...

Like Zou Shiming, who does boxing...

Xu Zhiquan: "?"

Nie Fei: "..."

Xu Zhiquan took a deep breath of cool air, then pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

He then asked, "How did Ranran find out about this?"

Xu Chen: "Li Rui told her."

"..."

Xu Zhiquan still looked emotional:
"One hundred million... Ranran can actually come up with that?"

At this time.

After finishing his call with Xie Bingran, Fang Jun came out and said expressionlessly:
"Bing said that she should be able to borrow the remaining two billion... She'll try to find a way to do so."

"?!"

This time, Xu Chen was completely bewildered and speechless.

What the hell?
She can handle two billion?

What kind of girlfriend is this, who's only eighteen or nineteen?!

Xu Zhiquan looked up at Xu Chen:
"20 billion...how can she borrow it?"
Even if she has those sports star friends…

Xu Chen looked completely innocent:
"How could I know this?"

Xu Zhiquan's face darkened with anger: "She's your wife, how could you not know?!"

Xu Chen: "What are you saying? We haven't even gotten our marriage certificate yet, and we're not even engaged... Where did this 'wife' come from?!"

Xu Zhiquan's expression became even more serious:
"Yes, you and Ranran are just dating!"
"They're willing to give you 100 million, or even 1 billion or 2 billion..."

Xu Chen: "..."

Fang Jun's phone vibrated. She picked it up, glanced at it, and said:
"Brother Bing just sent me a message saying that 100 million yuan will be transferred to 'Chenfeng Technology's' account the day after tomorrow."

then……

Later, she was able to lend me two billion and asked when I needed it.

"..."

Xu Chen curled his lip, thinking to himself, "What kind of 'domineering CEO with an icy demeanor' is this?"

……

……

Xu Zhiquan didn't realize the cigarette was burning down to his fingers until he noticed, and quickly stubbed it out in the ashtray.

Xu Chen's "Ranran" quietly produced 100 million and then 2 billion, which was still somewhat unacceptable to Lao Xu.

A smile appeared on Fang Jun's expressionless face:
"The debt crisis before March 5th has been resolved."

With Brother Bing's 2 billion yuan investment coming in, the debt won't be a problem until the end of the month...

Now 'Chenfeng Technology' can afford to wait; it has the time and space.

According to the information I've gathered, Wu Yongming shouldn't be delayed for too long, so after March, everything will become clear.

After the park resumes operations, new financing will come through, and Bing Ge can repay the money he owes immediately...

Moreover, with Bing Ge's loan, there's no need to consider Boss Wang or any other investment institutions.

The shares of 'Chenfeng' are still clean and completely under the control of President Xu.

......"

Fang Jun kept muttering to himself.

Perhaps due to the pent-up emotions he had been suppressing for too long, Fang Jun suddenly became more talkative.

A rare look of joy appeared on his usually expressionless face.

Nie Fei smiled and took out a thin cigarette, holding it between her slender, beautiful hand.

Xu Zhiquan looked at Xu Chen:
"I still don't quite understand. Where could Ranran borrow two billion yuan?"

Xu Chen looked completely innocent: "I really don't know."

Xu Zhiquan said irritably, "Then go ask!"

Xu Chen: "What kind of tone is that, Mr. Xu? Your funding problem was solved by my future wife!"

Xu Zhiquan: "That's my future daughter-in-law too!"

Xu Chen: "You had a son first, then you could have a future daughter-in-law!"

"..."

The father and son had a few words of "argument," while Nie Fei and Fang Jun watched on with amusement.

The pent-up emotions that had been building up for so long seemed to vanish at that moment.

Before they even had dinner, Nie Fei had already asked Nana to order stir-fry from a nearby restaurant, which would be delivered soon.

Xu Zhiquan rummaged through "Little Boss Xu's" cabinet, found a packet of tea, and brewed it with a smile.

Xu Chen said, "This package of tea costs over six hundred yuan and was purchased from Yunnan Province."

Xu Zhiquan: "Would I shortchange you? I'll buy ten packs and give them to you later!"

Xu Chen: "Brother Bing, you're not going to pay the interest on the money you borrowed with these ten packs of tea, are you?"

Xu Zhiquan: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have enough tea for the rest of your life."

Fang Jun and Nie Fei: "..."

……

Dinner was served quickly, and the four of them set it on the table together.

Old Xu held a bowl of rice and ate half of it without even taking a bite of the vegetables, looking extremely hungry.

We didn't drink any wine today because we had important business to discuss.

Fang Jun seemed somewhat unwilling to give up and said:

"After we finish discussing business and everything is arranged, we should have a couple of drinks to celebrate." Xu Zhiquan laughed heartily and nodded vigorously.

Xu Chen and Nie Fei exchanged a glance, both speechless.

While eating, we finalized the follow-up arrangements.

Bing Ge's 100 million should arrive in his account on the 29th.

They're still a few million short, less than ten million. Fang Jun can easily scrape together the money from the company's accounts; it's not a big problem.

Therefore, there will be no problem with the debt due on March 5th.

However, after discussing it, the group decided that the money they had already raised should absolutely not be made public at the moment.

Before repaying the money on March 5th, there must be no public announcement.

The goal, of course, is to wait for the "opponents" to come forward, to confirm whether it really is "Changfeng Investment" and "Panshi Capital," and who else might be behind them.

Once Wu Yongming's case is settled, all the investigations currently being conducted against "Chenfeng Technology" will disappear.

During the "investigation" period, Brother Bing's financial support can smoothly help get through the payment period.

Xu Zhiquan began by saying:

"Once work and production resume, we will be able to secure financing."

Or we could sell some assets of moderate value and use that money to pay back Ranran's debts.

Xu Chen tapped the bowl with his chopsticks:
"You have to calculate the interest on my wife's bill!"

Fang Jun smiled and said, "I'll calculate it for you. You and Brother Bing will each get your share!"

……

……

Two days later, on the 29th.

This is also the final deadline given by Mr. Wang's investment company.

This morning, Xu Zhiquan arranged for Fang Jun to give them a formal reply, temporarily suspending the financing plan.

Mr. Wang's investment company expressed regret over this.

But thinking about it, it must have been quite unexpected.

After all, they believed that Xu Zhiquan would have difficulty raising 2 billion yuan in a short period of time.

That afternoon, Mr. Wang's investment company sent Fang Jun another message.

It is said that after reporting to Wang Shi, Boss Wang decided that negotiations with "Chenfeng Technology" could continue, and the valuation and pricing could still be negotiated.

Xu Zhiquan sent a private message to Wang Shi to express his gratitude, and Fang Jun also called the investment company.

However, subsequent negotiations and investment matters will be "put on hold" for the time being.

Since there was no explicit rejection, it was naturally still considered as an alternative.

……

Tomorrow morning, Xu Zhiquan, Fang Jun, and Li Rui will prepare to take a plane back to Tiancheng.

Before leaving Shanghai, Xu Zhiquan arranged for Fang Jun to visit Wu Feifei at the Shanghai Foreign Language School.

Xu Chen was actually a little worried about Wu Feifei and wanted to go with her, but Lao Xu stopped him.

"It's not convenient for my son and I to contact the Wu family right now."

But Fang Jun is fine. She and Wu Feifei are already quite close; they've known each other since they were children.

……

In the evening, Xu Chen had dinner with Lao Xu and Fang Jun again.

Fang Jun described Wu Feifei's situation, saying that she still seemed cheerful and optimistic, but he could still see some pressure and tension in her.

Old Xu was also quite helpless, saying that once everything had calmed down, Xu Chen should still go and visit Wu Feifei.

At the dinner table, Fang Jun glanced at his phone and said:
"Gu Xuewei just confirmed that Bing Ge's 100 million has been deposited into the company's account."

Xu Zhiquan was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh:
"As an elder, I am truly ashamed; I don't know how to thank Ranran enough..."

Xu Chen: "When Xie Bingran was in trouble, President Xu sent her money every month."

She has always been very grateful to "Uncle Xu" and doesn't know how to repay him...

Xu Zhiquan wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh.

……

……

After returning to Tiancheng, Xu Zhiquan went back to work at the "Chenfeng Park" headquarters.

When Lao Xu returned to the "Chairman's Office," he found that the calligraphy that had been hanging on the wall had indeed been taken away.

Actually, he had heard the news from Wu Yue while he was in Shanghai, so he knew about it in advance.

【The East shines brightly, radiant with the morning light】...

This unsigned calligraphy was obtained by Wu Yongming from an "old gentleman" when he took Xu Zhiquan to the provincial capital, so it naturally has its own significance.

The calligraphy has now been taken away without a trace, naturally because the "old gentleman" who wrote it was afraid of getting into some unnecessary trouble.

Xu Zhiquan also felt a pang of regret at this.

In fact, during the time that "trouble" occurred, including when he was raising the 30 million yuan, Xu Zhiquan had already seen through many of his friends.

It's clear who's staying far away and who's willing to offer help in times of need.

Such is human nature, and Old Xu had long anticipated it.

It's a good thing if it helps him see some of his "friends" for who they really are.

……

Xu Zhiquan's reappearance as "Chairman" in the company has an implicit effect of "stabilizing morale".

The company is still in a state of "shutdown and production stoppage".

But Xu Zhiquan was far from idle. He convened a meeting with several members of the management team to continue discussing the annual plans and programs for this year and next.

Yang Congxin has been at the company the whole time. Guo Liang and Hua Shaojie took a few days off and have now returned.

When they saw "General Manager Xu" again, they were all quite emotional.

Although it is unknown whether the company's crisis can be resolved, one can sense great confidence from President Xu's demeanor.

During the planning meeting organized by Xu Zhiquan, Dr. Liu was naturally brought on the phone as well.

During this time, Liu Qilin was not idle either. He had already completed the latest product and technology planning for "Chenfeng Electric Vehicle" at his home in Beijing, which surprised the team.

Xu Zhiquan was still very moved, realizing that his company's core management team was still very trustworthy.

Fang Jun, Dr. Liu, Yang Congxin, Guo Liang, Hua Shaojie... Under the current extreme circumstances, none of them had any suspicious thoughts.

In addition, Dr. Liu also inquired about the acquisition of "Shenbiao," which also relates to a battery patent that Liu Qilin was concerned about.

Xu Zhiquan could not give a direct answer to this, as it involved future financing issues.

Dr. Liu understood and said, "This matter isn't so urgent. We'll wait for news from President Xu."

Fang Jun has been unusually busy these past two days. Firstly, the "working group" still has some matters that require financial cooperation.

On the other hand, various debt issues within March need to be addressed in advance.

Because the fact that the money had been raised was kept secret and could not be disclosed, Fang Jun continued to receive various debt collection calls and messages over the past two days, which made the "God of Wealth" somewhat irritable.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiquan, along with Guo Liang and Wu Yue, accompanied Fang Jun for two heavy drinking sessions...

In addition, Jiang Huaqin also took the initiative to ask Xu Zhiquan about his recent situation.

What he was concerned about was naturally the debt problem of "Chenfeng Technology".

After all, "Datuo Auto" and "Chenfeng Technology" are closely intertwined. If "Chenfeng Technology" really runs into problems, "Datuo" will also suffer heavy losses.

Xu Zhiquan did not reveal to Jiang Huaqin that the funding issue had been resolved, only saying that he was "still trying to find a solution." However, to reassure Jiang, he did mention that "there is already some progress."

Jiang Huaqin also briefly updated everyone on the situation of "Da Tuo".

A significant portion of Da Tuo's funds is still frozen, and some issues remain unresolved.

However, through various connections, Jiang Huaqin has basically confirmed that he and "Da Tuo" will eventually land safely.

He told Xu Zhiquan all this, naturally to put Xu's mind at ease.
