I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 16 Without further ado, let's take a concubine!
Zhang Shicun knew a few people about the company "Jin Sangye Warehousing". After all, some people from the Dahang and Erhang banks worked in some government offices in the city, so it wasn't difficult for the old man Zhang Qihui to find out the details.

The company's most valuable real estate assets are two: one is a large cold storage facility at the riverside dock. There aren't many out-of-town companies that can afford to own a 5,000-square-meter cold storage facility in Jiyang City, which shows that the Sang family has considerable financial strength and good connections in government.

This cold storage facility, along with its ancillary facilities, cost over three million yuan, but its actual market value exceeds four million yuan.

It can hold more than 4,000 tons of meat at a time, and it can be rented out to make money every day.

However, the Sang family steward had big ambitions and wanted to directly engage in the wholesale meat business in Hebei North Road, so Jiyang City, an inland port, was transformed into a transshipment center.

That was at least the plan at the time.

As a result, they ran into a real powerful family, and were wiped out by a beef subsidy.

The number of people who raised funds within the Sang family was in the hundreds or even thousands, including Lao Zhou's friend, Sang Shouye.

After borrowing 100,000 yuan from his wife's family and his father Sang Jiaping, Sang Shouye borrowed another 50,000 yuan from his cousins ​​and his old friends who ran logistics businesses.

I spent a total of 200,000 yuan to acquire 5% of the shares in "Jin Sang Ye Storage"; after that, I focused on running long-distance routes between Jiyang Port and Zhangshui Port, where "Jin Sang Ye Storage" is located.

His income was definitely not low, so in addition to painting the truck with "Golden Mulberry Leaf" paint, he also borrowed another 200,000 yuan to buy the truck.

Under normal circumstances, you'll make your fortune in three to five years. Then you can hire two people to drive, and sell the car after it depreciates. All of this money will be a huge amount of cash that you can't hold onto any longer.

However, things are unpredictable. In order to protect themselves, the head of the Sang family has stopped or closed down their businesses and is now pretending to be dead, waiting for the creditors to lower their demands.

Currently, there are quite a few companies eyeing "Golden Mulberry Leaf Warehousing," and most of them are companies with international trade businesses.

Now, Zhang Daxiang has also set his sights on it.

He not only coveted the 5,000-square-meter cold storage facility, but also the "Golden Mulberry Leaf" business that it had previously operated in South America.

Strictly speaking, those businesses belonged to the main branch of the Sang family. Given Sang Shouye's position, it was already good enough that he knew about them; he was completely clueless about the specifics.

Investing in "Jin Sangye" does not mean that Sang Shouye is awesome. The core business of the Sang family is radiating outward from Youzhou in Hebei North Road. So, a subsidiary company like "Jin Sangye" in a small place like Jiyang City is just for pooling money.

You can make money, but not a lot of money.

It's only a few million, not even comparable to half a workshop in a factory in the Zhangshui Port Free Trade Zone. The annual turnover is estimated to be less than that of a single day's meat wholesale company in Zhangshui Port.

However, this is quite suitable for Zhang Daxiang now.

"Xiang Twelve, to be honest with you, the major shareholders on Lao Sang's side are quite complicated. The biggest individual shareholder seems to be Sang Jiasheng, an uncle from his hometown; the second largest shareholder, I heard from people at 'Jin Sangye,' is something like 'Anbian Dong Sangjiazhuang Asset Management Company.' Lao Sang himself is from Dong Sangjiazhuang, but he has a big appetite and directly contributed 200,000 yuan, instead of just contributing as a wedding gift to the asset management company. As for the other minor shareholders... I don't know much about them, I'm just a long-distance driver."

Old Zhou was also in a dilemma, so he told everyone he knew.

There's a reason he's so concerned. Besides genuinely wanting to take care of his old friend's wife, children, and elderly parents, there's also the fact that Sang Shouye borrowed 40,000 yuan from him...

He's now hoping that the Sang family's niece will succeed, and then he might be able to get the 40,000 yuan back intact.

Otherwise... When the creditors came to the mother and daughter's door before, one of them wanted to get back the money for the meal that Sang Shouye had treated them to. The total came to more than 3,800 yuan, but they rounded it down to 800 yuan and didn't want the 3,000 yuan anymore.

There's nothing we can do about it; that's all we have. If we don't want these eight hundred-plus, we'll have to round it down again.

What's the difference between rounding down to zero and slitting your throat?

"So, the major shareholder is actually someone from the Sang family, is that what you mean?"

"Of course. 'Jin Sang Ye' is a relatively new company. When outsiders come to Jiyang City, even if there are local shares, it's only three to five percent, not much, just a token amount."

"Yes, very good, this information is very useful to me. Thanks, Lao Zhou."

"Of course, of course. Well... about my sister-in-law and niece..."

"Without further ado, I'll arrange for the elders, aunts, and sisters-in-law in my family to set up a table at the North Gate Overpass. The Zhang family will explain the situation to me. All the formalities of the betrothal and marriage ceremony will be provided, just simplified, but there will definitely be no shortage of gold and silver jewelry."

"Alright, alright, I'll call the hotel right away and let them know."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you again, Lao Zhou, I'll go find my elders at home."

"No trouble at all, you go ahead with your work..."

While Lao Zhou was making a phone call, Zhang Daxiang got into a secondhand "smuggled car" and went home.

The car was registered, and Zhang Daxiang wasn't driving without a license. He had already obtained eleven new ID cards, changing the age on each one, and he was too lazy to change the name either, since it wasn't impossible for twelve people in Zhangshi Village to have the same name...

As for the driver's license, I originally spent three thousand yuan to buy it, but later I only spent two hundred yuan.

Three thousand yuan was the price for eighteen-year-old Zhang Daxiang; two hundred yuan was the price for a fifty-five-year-old uncle.

Upon arriving home, Zhang Daxiang went to the ancestral hall, and then the old men went home to find their daughters-in-law. Led by an old woman, they took a car to the hotel near the North Gate Overpass.

The women were very polite. Although there was no matchmaker, they still went through the usual "praise, praise, praise" process. Then they showed off the backgrounds of the twelve women and let the bewildered mother and daughter choose whichever they wanted.

Women who can come out can all speak Mandarin. If they could only speak their dialect, they would definitely be rambling and unclear.

"Sister Li, don't worry that our family will bully people. We're just from the local rural area, we don't have so many rules. Once someone marries into our family, she's part of the Zhang family..."

"There's a reason why this elephant needs 'twelve incense offerings per person': his grandfather originally had nine brothers, all of whom died in the war. After retiring last year, he thought about continuing the family line for his nine brothers, so in the future... let's work hard!"

"...Anyway, after she marries into the family, she'll be guaranteed to have the best food and drink. I just hope that once she's with Zhang Xiang, she'll be healthy and strong..."

Actually, the aunts and sisters-in-law also felt disgusted by what they said, but they had no choice. They were given 200 yuan each when they came over, and there were even red envelopes after they said nice things, so no matter how disgusting it was... they still said it.
