Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 576 Nothing I set my sights on ever escapes me.
Phone.

Xu Zhiquan paused for a moment, then spoke again:

"However, our most critical debt problem has now been solved by Ranran's funding."

They want to cripple us with debt and force us to hand over 'Chenfeng Technology,' but that's a dead end.

Xu Chen: "This 'big boss' is hiding in the shadows, and we don't know if he has any backup plans."

Their patience in waiting for two years is truly remarkable…

Xu Zhiquan fell silent again, clearly deep in thought.

Old Xu thought for a moment, then spoke:
"Go and go find Wu Feifei."

Xu Chen: "Is it inconvenient for me to see her?"

Xu Zhiquan: "Now, we can't worry about that anymore."

Wu Yongming must know about the 'big boss' situation.

It now appears that the influence of the "big boss" is not something that a local private enterprise like ours can completely control.

Wu Yongming needs to be informed.

Moreover, he was already involved in the scheme.

Xu Chen: "Okay, I understand..."

……

……

The next day, Tuesday, March 4th.

At noon, Xu Chen made a special trip to Shanghai University of Foreign Languages.

I ran into Wu Feifei again at a McDonald's near the east gate of the school, after a long time.

When they met, Wu Feifei still had her cheerful and optimistic demeanor, but there was still a hint of panic and nervousness in her eyes.

After Xu Chen ordered food and found a seat by the window, he began to ask about Wu Feifei's recent situation. The girl's back finally slumped, and she was speechless with grievance for a moment.

But Wu Feifei quickly recovered her composure, straightened her back, and took a big, firm bite of the hamburger in front of her.

Xu Chen looked around to make sure the conversation was relatively private before lowering his voice and giving Wu Feifei a general overview of the information he had gathered about his father, Xu Zhiquan.

Wu Feifei was intelligent and quick-witted. Although she didn't fully understand the background of the matter, she quickly grasped the most crucial information.

She nodded and said in a low voice:
"Okay, I understand..."

I'll tell my mom about the 'big boss' thing, and she'll try to talk to my dad about it.

……

……

provincial capital.

A highly private business club.

A bronze plaque hangs in front of the door, bearing a European-style retro lion head design, with the words "Van Clerk Mansion" written below.

Inside the "Van Chow Mansion," in a room with retro and luxurious decor...

Chen Boxin: "Today is already the 4th, and tomorrow 'Chenfeng' will have to pay off its debt of over 100 million yuan..."

Why hasn't Xu Zhiquan made any move yet?

There shouldn't be any changes, right...?

Frank: "Don't rush."

Who would willingly hand over their life and fortune? Only when facing certain death do they beg for mercy.

Xu Zhiquan will probably have a sleepless night tonight.

Get a good night's sleep; prepare to sign the contract with him tomorrow.

Chen Boxin: "He was still traveling around a while ago, could it be that he actually managed to raise the money?"

Frank: "It's just a death throes."

I know his connections well; getting a few tens of millions in loans right now is already the limit.

He couldn't possibly raise nearly two billion in funding in such a short time.

Chen Boxin: "What if..."

I mean, what if Xu Zhiquan just gives up and waits to die, instead of coming to find us?

Frank: "He's a businessman, he'll figure it out."

Xu Zhiquan is not yet fifty years old, and even if he falls this time, he still has the strength to get back up.

Therefore, he cares about his reputation in the industry and won't really give up, waiting for 'Chenfeng' to go bankrupt and be liquidated...

If he really can't figure it out, it's okay if he doesn't come to us.

He accepted the bankruptcy liquidation, and I have a way to gradually acquire 'Morning Breeze'.

It's just that the losses will be slightly greater and the process will take a little longer.

But in any case, 'Morning Breeze' is ours.

He picked up the whiskey in his hand and swirled it around:

"What I set my sights on, I will never get away with."

Chen Boxin: "Great! Then I must congratulate Mr. Frank in advance!"

Frank: "Let's arrange some more collection methods for him tomorrow morning!"
Give him some eye drops, so he won't actually come looking for you in the afternoon.

I have a dinner engagement tonight, so I need to get this sorted out before then.

Chen Boxin: "Understood!"

……

……

3 month 5 number.

Early in the morning, a few thugs parked their black car in front of the gate of the "Chenfeng Headquarters Park".

In their trunk were some black and white banners and paint.

The leader was a round, dark-skinned man with a buzz cut, named "Lai Daqiang".

At that moment, Lai Daqiang had a cigarette in his mouth and was leaning against the car.

"Brother Qiang, when are we going to make our move?"

"No rush, wait for Mr. Chen's instructions."

……

Inside the gate of the "Chenfeng Headquarters Park".

Zhao Feng led a large group of men, all of them strong and vigorous young men, rushing over with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.

Zhao Feng heard the commotion in the morning and gathered his men to come over.

In addition to the guys from the "Security Department", they also called in some people from other departments, so it was quite a large group.

as predicted.

Seeing this, Lai Daqiang's imposing manner instantly diminished, and he frowned, somewhat apprehensive.

"Brother Qiang...why is there such a large group?"

"Damn it! This job needs extra pay!"

"Brother Qiang, what should we do? Should we call for more people?"

Lai Daqiang narrowed his eyes:

"For such a small amount of money, why add any more people?!"

"Then wait a moment?"

Lai Daqiang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and then stomped it out.

His gaze swept over the people opposite him, finally settling on Zhao Feng.

Then Lai Daqiang raised his hands and bowed slightly to him.

Zhao Feng snorted coldly, then raised his hand and bowed in greeting.

……

"Brother Feng, what's going on?"

Zhao Feng: "They're paid to do things, so they don't want to suffer any serious consequences."

"What to do?"

"Prepare your equipment just in case."

If you do need to use force, be careful not to cause trouble for President Xu!

"understand!"

……

Finance office on the 8th floor of the Chenfeng headquarters building.

Xu Zhiquan stood by the window, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Inside the finance office, there were also Fang Jun and Gu Xuewei.

After making two confirmation calls, Gu Xuewei spoke:
"The four payments totaling 1.19 million yuan have all been repaid."

Xu Zhiquan exhaled a puff of white smoke, put his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly.

Gu Xuewei: "The people from the bank were clearly very surprised."

Xu Zhiquan: "They weren't the only ones who were surprised."

Gu Xuewei: "My friend at the bank told me privately that they were already prepared to collect debts, freeze accounts, and even go through court proceedings."

……

The main entrance of Chenfeng Headquarters Park.

The phone rang with "Hello Moto" from Lai Daqiang's pocket.

He reached in and pulled out a black Motorola flip phone, holding it to his ear.

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Lai Daqiang frowned and paused for a moment before saying "Okay".

"Brother Qiang, wanna make a move?" The brother beside him was eager to try. "Make a move my ass! Let's retreat!"

As he spoke, Lai Daqiang turned around and opened the car door.

"Huh?! You're not going to keep pressing for payment?"

"What's the point of chasing them?! They've already paid back the money, what's the point of us chasing them for debts?!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people squeezed into the four or five black cars, then turned around and disappeared without a trace.

On Zhao Feng's side.

"Brother Feng, were you scared away by the sheer number of us brothers?"

"What are you thinking! It must have been President Xu who stepped in and took care of things behind the scenes!"

"Oh……"

"You all stay here and keep watch, I'll go and inform General Manager Xu."

……

……

"Wenxiangge" teahouse.

There were four or five people in the private room.

Besides Chen Boxin, he also brought the company's legal and financial staff, all of whom were ready to sign the contract directly with Xu Zhiquan later.

Chen Boxin received a phone call, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

He picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, but then spat it all out because it was scalded.

The three or four subordinates behind him were startled, but dared not speak or step forward.

Chen Boxin slammed the cup on the table, waved his hand, and said:
"Get out, get out, all of you get out..."

The group was puzzled, but they quickly put away the contracts, documents, and official seals they had prepared in advance, got up, and slunk away.

Inside the private room, Chen Boxin muttered a couple of curses under his breath, then dialed the phone again:
"They paid back that 100 million."

Frank: "Yeah, I just found out."

Chen Boxin: "Where did he conjure up a hundred million?! It's like a ghost!"

Frank: "I previously estimated that Xu Zhiquan could borrow at most tens of millions, but it seems that I underestimated him."

Xu Zhiquan is a very honest businessman, so it seems some people still trust him and have lent him extra money.

Chen Boxin: "He got the money, what do we do now?"

Frank: "Don't panic, this 100 million is the limit of what he can save."

He absolutely cannot raise the remaining 1.8 billion.

Chen Boxin: "What if..."

Frank: "There's no 'what if'."

I know all of Xu Zhiquan's connections. Among the people he knows now, there's simply no one who can provide him with over a billion yuan by the end of the month.

Banks and institutions are unlikely to give him money now. Jiang Huaqin is already under control, and Su Qitai's relationship with him isn't that close yet..."

Chen Boxin: "Okay... then let's wait a little longer?"

Frank: "Wait a little longer. The initial offer was 100 million, right?"

Chen Boxin: "Yes, give him 100 million yuan in cash, and then hand over 'Chenfeng'."

Frank: "You can try to hook him again and raise the price from one hundred million to two hundred million."

The maximum is 500 million.

Chen Boxin: "Okay, I understand."

……

……

Thursday, April 3th.

In the afternoon, Xu Chen received a very brief message from Wu Feifei:
My dad replied: "Okay."

Xu Chen called Lao Xu to let him know the situation.

Xu Zhiquan pondered for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.

Xu Chen couldn't understand the riddle posed by these two old men:

"What do you mean?"

Xu Zhiquan: "What Wu Yongming specifically replied is not important. The fact that he was able to reply to the message at all is a very important signal."

When he said "I understand," he meant we should remain calm.

Xu Chen: "..."

Old Xu sounded very happy and said again:
"Chen Boxin of 'Rock Capital' contacted me again through Huang Furen, saying he wanted to talk again."

Xu Chen: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Zhiquan: "Let's discuss raising the price."

Xu Chen: "..."

Xu Zhiquan: "This shows they're in a hurry."

Xu Chen: "Would you like to come over and talk, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Zhiquan: "Of course we'll talk. Let's see what price they offer first. We've already taken the initiative."

He paused:

"In addition, I am really interested in that 'big boss' Frank."

If Wu Yongming can help handle this, I'd better also find out the identity of this 'big boss'.

Xu Chen thought for a moment, then reminded him:
"Dad, let's be careful. If it's too sensitive, it might be better if we don't know."

Xu Zhiquan: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

……

……

March 11th arrived in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Xu Chen was in his small office on the 8th floor when Fang Jun's sister called again.

On the other end of the phone, besides Fang Jun, there was also Lao Xu.

Fang Jun began to speak:

"We just received funds from Brother Bing, totaling 18 billion yuan."

Brother Bing said he could give 20 billion, but I've recalculated the accounts, and 18 billion is enough now.

Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother Bing is truly ruthless and doesn't talk much. Adding the 100 million from last time, this is 1.9 billion that has been transferred over casually."

Fang Jun paused for a moment, then spoke again:
"The money was transferred from a company account in Hong Kong..."

Xu Chen: "Huh?!"

Fang Jun: "I did a quick check and it turns out it's a fund company owned by the Fok family in Hong Kong."

"Huo family?"

Xu Chen gasped and said:

"Oh... no wonder."

Fang Jun: "You know?"

Xu Chen: "When Bingge participated in the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve the year before last, I ran into her with Guo Jingjing from the diving team, and her boyfriend, Huo Qigang, the son of the Huo family..."

Fang Jun: "Are we friends? It's unbelievable that they would lend 18 billion yuan."

Xu Chen pondered for a moment:

"Brother Bing mentioned it once, saying that she 'saved Guo Jingjing's life'..."

Although I don't understand what that sentence means either.

Xu Chen suddenly felt a sense of alertness and said:

"Whose name is this Huo family's fund company you mentioned under?"

Can this be found?

Fang Jun: "Huh?!"

Xu Chen asked anxiously, "Is it under Huo Qigang's name or his brother Huo Qishan's name?"

Or rather, which of these two brothers is behind it?

Fang Jun: "Is there a difference?"

Xu Chen: "Of course there's a difference."

Fang Jun paused for a moment: "You're not quite right."

Xu Chen: "..."

Fang Jun: "I need to confirm this, I'll get back to you later."

Xu Chen: "Oh."

Xu Chen's alertness naturally stemmed from Guo Jingjing's intention to introduce Huo Qishan and Xie Bingran to each other.

Xu Chen was somewhat bothered by the fact that many wealthy second-generation businessmen in Hong Kong liked to date athletes.

……

During the phone call, Xu Zhiquan mentioned another matter.

Chen Boxin of "Rock Capital" has contacted Xu Zhiquan twice in the past few days, and as expected, he has proposed a "price increase".

"At first, Chen Boxin offered 2 million yuan in cash, but yesterday he hinted to me through Huang Furen that if I wasn't satisfied, the price could be negotiated higher."

Hwang Fu-jen said there was a chance to discuss 4 million.

Fang Jun: "They initially asked for only 100 million, but now they've increased it to 400 million. That's quite a big deal."

Xu Zhiquan: "Let's give them a break for now. Actually, they're giving me a break too."

They probably don't believe I can scrape together another billion...
