147: Section 147
“Mom, this house is quite big. It must be comfortable enough for you to live in alone!” Qin Feng asked with a smile.
“It’s alright!” Ning Haiyan glanced around and smiled.
“By the way, have your family’s stocks been sold?” Qin Feng asked.
“Yes, they’ve been sold.” Ning Haiyan gave a bitter smile.
“Did you sell a lot?” Qin Feng quickly asked.
“About five thousand yuan! It’s all thanks to you. If you hadn’t spent money to buy back the stocks, our family would have collapsed!” Ning Haiyan said with a sigh.
“So cheap?” Qin Feng felt a wave of relief upon hearing this; this way, he could help his mother get through this difficult time.
“Of course, if you hadn’t stepped in to help, who would dare to spend money to buy our family’s stocks?” Ning Haiyan said.
“Haha, then you must reward me well!” Qin Feng said with a smile.
“Alright, what do you want to eat tonight?” Ning Haiyan said.
“I want to eat braised pork belly!” Qin Feng chuckled.
“No problem, I’ll make it for you!” Ning Haiyan said.
“Mom, don’t overwork yourself!” Qin Feng said with concern.
“How could I let you worry? Don’t worry, I know my limits. I’ll make braised pork belly for you tonight!” Ning Haiyan smiled beautifully.
“Then I’ll look forward to eating braised pork belly tonight!” Qin Feng laughed.
The mother and son chatted in the villa for a long time before Qin Feng received a call from Zhao Beibei asking where he was.
“I’m out, is something the matter?” Qin Feng asked.
“Can you come over? My father wants to invite you to dinner.” Zhao Beibei said softly.
“Uh, this... alright!” Qin Feng hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He knew that this meal would not be easy to eat; he might run into those dark forces again.
“Where are you now?” Zhao Beibei asked.
“I’m at home.” Qin Feng said.
“Okay, I’ll come over to pick you up right now.” Zhao Beibei said.
“There’s no need for you to pick me up. I’ll take a taxi there myself. Just tell me the specific location.” Qin Feng said.
After a while, Zhao Beibei drove to Qin Feng’s villa.
“Brother, are your uncle and auntie here?” After getting out of the car, Zhao Beibei looked at the villa in front of her, her pretty face blushing charmingly as she asked in a low voice.
“Yes, come on in!” Qin Feng smiled and led her into the living room.
At this time, Shen Zhentang was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Sitting next to him was an old man nearly sixty years old with a full head of white hair and a vigorous spirit. His eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom; he was none other than the richest man in Jiangzhou, Wang Defu.
On the other side stood a bodyguard, his waist straight, watching the doorway like a tiger.
Seeing Qin Feng and Zhao Beibei walk in together, Qin Feng and Wang Defu immediately stood up.
“Dad, Uncle!” Qin Feng greeted his parents with a smile, then finally turned his gaze to Wang Defu, asking with a smile: “How should I address this old gentleman?”
“Qin Feng, hello! I’ve long admired your name, and today I finally get to meet you in person!” Wang Defu enthusiastically extended both hands to shake Qin Feng’s hand.
“Uncle, you are too polite. Just call me Xiao Shen or Ah Yi.” Qin Feng smiled lightly and shook hands with Wang Defu.
“Xiao Shen, this is...” Qin Feng asked, pointing to Qin Hao on the side.
“Oh, he is my friend. He specially came over today to accompany me to your banquet, hoping to leave a good impression on Uncle and Auntie.” Qin Feng smiled.
“So that’s how it is!” Qin Feng nodded with a smile.
“Mr. Shen, can we eat now?” Wang Defu asked.
“Of course! Uncle, you are the elder, so you decide.” Qin Feng said quickly.
After a few pleasantries, everyone took their seats. Qin Feng sat at the head of the table, and Qin Feng accompanied him beside him.
“Xiao Shen, I heard you’ve been investing in stocks recently. How are the returns?” Qin Feng asked with a smile.
“It’s passable!” Qin Feng said modestly.
“Haha, making money is secondary. The key is to ensure you make a profit without losses!” Qin Feng said earnestly.
“Yes, I will definitely take your teachings to heart!” Qin Feng said.
After a while, Ning Haiyan brought out a few dishes she had cooked, which were excellent in color, aroma, and taste.
Because today was to celebrate for Qin Feng, the dishes on the table were exceptionally sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat all prepared. The drinks were also of great value, including red wine, Moutai, famous chinese baijiu brand, Royal Salute, and so on.
Seeing this setup, Qin Feng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that tonight’s “Hongmen Banquet” was inevitable.
“Little Yi, it seems it’s been a long time since we’ve had a meal together, right? Tonight, since just your dad and mom are home, I want us father and son to have a good talk, how about it?” Qin Feng laughed.
“Alright, I have the same intention.” Qin Feng said.
During the meal, Qin Feng acted uncharacteristically, appearing very calm, and even chatting and laughing with Qin Feng, as if he had forgotten the awkwardness of last night.
But Qin Feng knew clearly that the more Qin Feng acted this way, the angrier he must be.
Because deep in Qin Feng’s heart, he still hated him.
“Dad, have you really decided to sever the father-son relationship with me?” After three rounds of drinks, Qin Feng asked tentatively.
“Of course. Our Shen Group is currently facing an economic crisis and needs money for turnover. I have no other choice!” Qin Feng sighed.
“Is that so? Then what impact does kicking me out of the company have on the Shen Group?” Qin Feng asked coldly.
“Well, you know, after the Shen Group headquarters moved to Beijing, it caused an uproar nationwide. Market share plummeted, and coupled with the sharp reduction in the company’s business volume, it led to serious financial losses. I had no choice but to remove you from the company.” Qin Feng explained.
“Hmm, what you say makes sense.” Qin Feng was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: “So how much debt does the company owe the bank now?”
“Eighty billion. The interest rate is as high as twenty-five percent. According to current bank loan interest rates, we need to repay at least over three hundred billion annually.” Qin Feng said.
“Then I understand. You intend to kick me out of the company.” Qin Feng stared at Qin Feng and said slowly.
“Yes, the current situation of our Shen Group is very difficult. It’s not like you don’t know that we simply don’t have the ability to pay such a huge loan.” Qin Feng shook his head and said.
“Dad, since it’s so difficult, why not provide collateral to the bank? For example, real estate, cars, or gold ore. The friends I know are very capable, and they are willing to lend us money.” Qin Feng said.
“Oh, Xiao Shen, our family sells mines. You still want to borrow our family’s mines? I think we’ll pass!” Uncle Wang curled his lip and said.
“Uncle Wang, you misunderstood. I mean lending you money to pay off debts! No matter who lends you money, you have to hand over control of the company to the other party.” Qin Feng explained.
“Hehe, that’s what you said, we can consider it. The friends you know are very capable; I’d like to ask them to help our company get through this difficult time!” Uncle Wang said sinisterly.
“Uncle Wang, although the friends I know are capable, it’s impossible for them to conjure up one or two hundred billion in funds out of thin air, right? I think it’s better for you to rely on your own efforts to resolve your company’s matters!” Qin Feng said solemnly.
“You mean we should look for bank loans? Then I won’t do it. This is the first time in my life I’ve taken out such a large loan. What if the bank forces us to sign unequal treaties?” Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this and said.
“Uncle Qin, don’t worry. The people I know are trustworthy friends, and they are not short of this money.” Qin Feng said seriously.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, and I don’t know any banks. I don’t think this meal can be eaten in peace!” Qin Feng snorted and sneered.
“Dad, why don’t you come back to Beihai Province with me, and we can discuss how to get through the current crisis slowly, how about it?” Qin Feng took the opportunity to suggest.
“Little Yi, I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that I will cause you trouble again. You can rest assured about this. I, Qin Feng, am not an unreasonable person. You have already severed the father-son relationship with me, and I won’t blame this on you. What I have said counts. From now on, you walk your sunny road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge, and we will have nothing to do with each other~.” Qin Feng said.
“Alright, since you have said so, I respect your choice. However, I still want to remind you that our company is currently lacking funds. How much liquid capital do you have on hand? If the capital chain breaks, that will be trouble.” Qin Feng reminded.
“Don’t worry about this matter; I will handle it myself. I still have to go traveling with your mom, so I won’t talk to you anymore!” After dropping this sentence, Qin Feng immediately stood up and left the private room with his wife, Du Wanyi.
After watching Qin Feng and his wife walk away, Qin Feng took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Yanbin’s phone number: “Hello, President Li, how about we two brothers have a drink together at noon today?”
“Hehe, Chairman Shen, whatever grievances we brothers had before, let’s resolve them completely today!” Li Yanbin said with a faint smile.
“Great, I just finished talking with my dad. He is willing to take 10% of the company’s shares as collateral to apply for a loan of twenty billion from the bank. That way, the joint venture project between us two brothers will be saved.” Qin Feng said.
“That’s great! Your dad finally realized it!” Li Yanbin said excitedly.
“Yes, I have been living in Nanzhong City during this time. Let’s meet and talk in detail.” Qin Feng said.
“Okay, see you tonight.”
After ending the call with Li Yanbin, Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief. The mountain that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days had finally been moved away.
He immediately called Tang Heting and told him that he had reached an agreement with his father and was preparing to acquire the Shen Group that his father had left for him.
Tang Heting was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly instructed his secretary, Zhang Qiang, to convene a board meeting immediately.
Half a month later, Qin Feng’s new project went into operation.
The name of this project is “Huaxia Migrant Worker Breeding Base”. It is large in scale and covers areas including the eastern suburbs, western suburbs, and northern suburbs. The overall plan is to connect four rural towns in a line, forming a large-scale agricultural planting and breeding base.
Currently, this base is led by Dongfeng Group and is being jointly built.
Dongfeng Group has rich experience in agriculture and animal husbandry, and has great prestige among farmers across the country, so the projects they undertake are basically guaranteed to make a profit without losses.
