"Sorry, Mr. Li Zheng, there is no news about Sister Ling yet." In the coffee shop on the ground floor of the Central Building, Li Zheng and Cheng Xianfeng sat face to face, the two cups of coffee on the short round wooden table were still steaming.
Li Zheng smiled wryly and rubbed his temples. He and Zhou Sitian had been out of contact for more than half a month. When he fell into the sea, Zhou Sitian was at the most vulnerable time. She was unfamiliar in Xiangjiang, even if With Zhang Bingkun taking care of him, he still couldn't let go. Even if only Zhou Sitian knew the news that he was still alive...
"Then trouble Lawyer Cheng to continue looking for it. If you need to pay for it, just say it." Li Zheng could only comfort himself, no news is the best news.
He sorted out his mood, and then said, "I have already mentioned the reason for inviting lawyer Cheng out today on the phone. I wonder if it is convenient for lawyer Cheng to lead a line?"
He has only seven days. If he wasn't really satisfied with the land in Jingyuan, he wouldn't be so exhausted.
Cheng Xianfeng considered the language and said, "To be honest, the Liang family is really not peaceful recently. I will try to talk to Mr. Xiaoliang, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."
Although Liang Zhe has returned to the Liang family safely, the aftermath of the kidnapping case has not yet subsided. The rare joint efforts of all the giants in Xiangjiang have made the Hong Kong Police Office very busy, catching kidnappers and cracking down on stowaways. Press conferences have been held one after another.
At the end of the year, Liang's report for this year also came out, which can be described as appalling. Because of the collapse of the real estate industry and the property market in 1982, the assets of the Liang family, known as the largest landlord in Xiangjiang, have shrunk by half in an instant. In addition, under the management of Xu Yuandong's team, the other industries of the Liang family are tepid, and the financial statements at the end of the year are natural. won't look good. Financial journals have described the Liang family today as "a business empire that is on the decline."
Liang Huiying, the aunt of the Liang family, encouraged the board of directors to expel Xu Yuandong's team. Xu Yuandong is not easy to provoke, and directly exposed the inaction of Liang Huiying, Liang Huidong and Liang Huize in the kidnapping case of Liang Zhe. The evidence in his hand can clearly show that after kidnapping Liang Zhe, the kidnappers called Liang Huiying and the three to ask for ransom, but the three brothers and sisters of the Liang family not only did not pay the ransom, but also covered the matter, which made Mr. Xiao Liang almost Buried in the sea.
Public outcry.
Recently, the Liang family and the Liang family have almost become a joke for the people of Xiangjiang after dinner. The shares of several listed subsidiaries of Liang's name also fell continuously. Cheng Xianfeng said that the Liang family is not peaceful, which is really an understatement.
"Mr. Xiao Liang? Liang Zhe?" No. 3 in the middle of the mountain, Liang's family, Li Zheng was dumbfounded, what a coincidence. He has never thought deeply about the relationship between this Liang family and the other Liang family. Cheng Xianfeng mentioned it a little, and he connected the two. He seems to have some friendship with that Mr. Xiao Liang.
"Then ask Lawyer Cheng to send a message to Mr. Xiaoliang and ask him if he would like to see Li Zheng." Li Zheng said with a smile, he is half his life-saving benefactor, and this face must be given.
Cheng Xianfeng was taken aback, "Mr. Li Zheng, do you know Mr. Xiaoliang?"
The Liang family is the Liang family of the Liang family, and Liang Zhe alone holds more shares than all the members of the board of directors combined. After the financial statements came out, the old men on the board of directors took turns to go to the Liang family to cry. Although Liang Zhe was indifferent, the family's cultivation still allowed him to patiently listen to the complaints of these seniors. One day, two days... Seven days later, Mr. Xiao Liang finally Songkou relieved Xu Yuandong's team from all positions.
The board of directors was overjoyed, and they knew that crying would make the management who ride on their head to get out of the way, why should they endure those people for so long!
Xu Yuandong's team was dismissed, and Liang Huiying's sister and brother were completely isolated from the Liang family's power center because of their inaction in the kidnapping case and the murder of the Liang family's direct heir. Liang Zhe, Mr. Xiaoliang, naturally became the real person in power of the Liang family.
Now is a sensitive time. Only Mr. Xiaoliang can make such a decision to buy land in his name.
"It's a bit of a relationship." Li Zheng felt that Mr. Liang who didn't talk much should give him this face.
Cheng Xianfeng relaxed obviously, "That would be better." He took a sip of coffee, then took out a document from his briefcase, "This is the patent valuation report you want."
Li Zheng took it over and flipped it over, but the patent value of Nuoding Catalyst's patent was $38 million. Although this valuation report obviously underestimates the patent value of the catalyst compared to the quotations of Roche and Pfizer, these valuation companies are conservative in their reports, and they are now penniless, this valuation is still within a reasonable range .
Li Zheng didn't have enough money to buy the land, so he naturally had to find a way to get the money. His patent rights for Dunodin catalysts are only sold under license for five years, and can be re-sold after five years. Therefore, he intends to mortgage the catalyst patent right to Hong Kong Yuehua Bank to obtain sufficient loans. This is the fastest way for him to get money now.
"Thank you very much." Li Zheng put away the report, "Please also ask lawyer Cheng to arrange for me to meet Mr. Xiao Liang as soon as possible."
Cheng Xianfeng agreed with a smile.
After separating from Cheng Xianfeng, Li Zheng rushed to the Bank of Hong Kong non-stop. Xu Mingsheng has already contacted President Ma Zhendong Ma of Hong Kong Yuehua Bank for him.
Heungkong Yuehua Bank is one of many private banks in Heungkong. Because Li Zheng needs funds to be available in a short time, and big banks such as Citi and HSBC obviously do not have such a flexible mechanism, Xu Mingsheng recommended Yuehua Bank to him.
Ma Zhendong of Guangdong-China Bank has a vicious vision and works resolutely, and Xu Mingsheng speaks highly of him.
Li Zheng has never heard of the name of Yuehua Bank in later generations. There are two possibilities. First, Ma Zhendong changed his career to do something else; second, this Yuehua Bank, like many Heung Kong private banks, has not survived 97 years. financial crisis.
After taking a look at Yuehua's investment brochure at the front desk, Li Zheng felt that the latter was more likely.
"Hello, I have an appointment with President Ma Zhendong Ma." Li Zheng said to the front desk of the bank.
The receptionist raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Zheng, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, apparently it was rare to see such a young boy coming to Ma Zhendong.
"Wait a minute, what is your name..." the front desk lady asked politely.
"Li Zheng, Muzi Li, the iron-boned Zheng."
The lady at the front desk found Li Zheng's name in the reservation book, and the smile on her face became even brighter, "President Ma told me, you can go up."
Li Zheng nodded and was about to go up.
The middle-aged man who had been standing beside him for a long time gave up. He grabbed Li Zheng's arm and yelled at the lady at the front desk, "Didn't you say that President Ma is in a meeting and is not free? Why can he go up!"
The man's expression was very excited, his hair was a little greasy, and the stubble around his mouth was also very obvious, obviously he hadn't shaved for several days.
Li Zheng broke open the man's hand, glanced coldly, and walked straight to the elevator.
The man also wanted to come up, but the security guard stopped him without greeting at the front desk.
The man screamed with his throat: "As long as two million, as long as you lend me two million, my factory can come back to life. Ma Zhendong! Ma Zhendong!"
Li Zheng stepped into the elevator and the elevator door closed. He didn't take this episode to heart at all. This kind of capital story is staged all over the place every day, and it is because of this that he does not like those who are engaged in business, ups and downs, and cold-blooded. There is a sense of happiness only when there is comparison. Li Zheng's career satisfaction has once again reached a new level.
The elevator went up until it reached the ninth floor, and stepped out of the elevator entrance. The entire ninth floor was busy. Several men kept answering the phone. Someone saw Li Zheng coming over and shouted, "Who's on an appointment?"
Li Zheng was not used to shouting, so he quickly walked two steps to the man, "I made an appointment with President Ma."
The man looked him up and down in surprise, and muttered, "Which child."
Li Zheng had long been accustomed to his surprised and curious eyes, and his expression did not change at all. He followed the man through a corridor and came to a small door with the "President's Office" sign.
"President, someone named Li Zheng is looking for you." The man asked Li Zheng's name as he led the way.
A vigorous male voice came from the room, "Let him in."
Li Zheng pushed the door and went in.
This is a well-decorated office, with a thick red carpet on the ground, brown-red bookcases, desks, and office chairs. According to later generations, it is a piece of log furniture.
Behind the large desk, a slightly bloated middle-aged man stood up and walked towards Li Zheng quickly. He stretched out his hand and shook Li Zheng warmly.
"The youngest billionaire in Xiangjiang. Really young, really young." They are engaged in finance and naturally have their own sources of intelligence. After Xu Mingsheng mentioned Li Zheng's basic situation to him, Ma Zhendong asked people to investigate overnight. , I was secretly shocked when I heard the report.
This young man is amazing.
Xu Mingsheng told him that Li Zheng was still about 30 million Hong Kong dollars short. Although this amount was a bit large, it was not negotiable. After all, Li Zheng took the money to buy land, not to invest. He directly auctioned the land to recover the cost.
Li Zheng is helpless, does Xu Mingsheng want to publicize his title of "Xiangjiang's youngest billionaire" to everyone in Hong Kong
"Hello, President Ma, I'm Li Zheng. Don't mention the youngest billionaire in Xiangjiang. After buying the land, not only will I be penniless, but you will also be my creditor." Li Zheng smiled wryly. road.
Ma Zhendong laughed.
"Mr. Li Zheng, sit down."
Ma Zhendong is indeed a person. From Li Zheng's entry to the present, he did not show any surprise or contempt because of Li Zheng's age, and completely regarded Li Zheng as an ordinary customer.
"President Ma, the teacher must have already told you my intentions. I wonder if you can lend me this amount." Li Zheng said straight to the point.
Ma Zhendong poured a cup of tea for Li Zheng, then sat back at the desk, he looked at Li Zheng with a smile, and said, "The special loan of 20 million yuan can only be used to buy land, with a two-year term and an annual interest rate of 8 %. How does Mr. Li feel?"
Li Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He began to miss the time when pharmaceutical companies lined up to deliver money to their door. It was really troublesome to deal with these businessmen.
"President Ma probably misunderstood the teacher's meaning. If I only need 20 million Hong Kong dollars, I won't bother you." He handed over the prepared patent valuation documents.
"I do a mortgage loan, and the patent is valued at 38 million US dollars. According to market conditions, the mortgage is 20% off. I plan to loan 30 million US dollars. The interest rate is calculated according to the ordinary mortgage loan." Li Zheng touched his mouth and it was 3,000. million dollars.
When he was in Cold Spring Harbor, the sponsorship fee of a pharmaceutical company was more than that. After returning to China, it was a special scientific research fund, which was reimbursed at the actual cost, and it was never less than his cost. To be honest, Li Zheng's concept of money is much more vague than the average person.
Ma Zhendong has a big mouth, 30 million US dollars. Where did the stupefied young man come out of here? This is a private bank, not a big bank like HSBC or Citigroup. With 30 million U.S. dollars released, he doesn't have to take out other people's loans this year.
He glanced at Li Zheng, who had a natural look on his face, swallowed, and took the patent valuation document from Li Zheng.
The patent valuation is done by the British Weihua Consulting Company, which is very authoritative. Looking at the valuation of 38 million US dollars in the back, Ma Zhendong swallowed again. He really understood what Xu Mingsheng meant by the so-called youngest billionaire in Xiangjiang.
These consulting companies are very cautious in valuing projects. Weihua's figure of US$38 million indicates that the actual value of this technology may be twice as much as US$38 million after maximizing the actual value of the technology.
He looked at the patent valuation document, and then looked at the patent mortgage letter signed by Li Zheng, with a wry smile on his face. He originally thought that a small fish was coming, but he did not expect that it was a shark.
"Mr. Li Zheng, I'm sorry. I really can't get that much money here," Ma Zhendong said.
Li Zheng frowned slightly, the bank has no money? The banks of later generations cried and cried out to lend money, in their words, to accelerate the flow of funds and maximize the social value of capital.
"Then how many do you have?"
Ma Zhendong replied subconsciously: "At most 50 million Hong Kong dollars."
Li Zheng's brows stretched a little. 50 million was enough. After paying for the land, there were still 28 million Hong Kong dollars, which was enough for laboratory decoration, greening, and the salaries of the first batch of researchers.
As long as the second research result comes out, Li Zheng calculated silently in his heart and nodded reluctantly.
"Five million is fifty million."
Ma Zhendong looked shocked, what he just said, fifty million! ! This is almost all the cash he can take out now, how could he say this number? !
Besides, shouldn't Li Zheng beg for his own loan? Why did it go back
How could he now beg Li Zheng to accept his loan? He actually thought he was a little embarrassed to only lend Li Zheng 50 million? !
Ma Zhendong took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, and took a sip of herbal tea into his stomach, and he finally woke up a bit.
I was frightened by Li Zheng's aura of 30 million US dollars when he opened his mouth. In addition to Weihua's appalling patent valuation figures, he was horrified that Li Zheng had such wealth at the age of 16 or 17. Fainted for a while, he blurted out the figure of 50 million.
However, the words have already been said, and if you take them back, I am afraid that they will offend the youngest billionaire in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong University behind him. Ma Zhendong smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he could only move the loan at the back.
Alas, whoever lends money is not a loan. Ma Zhendong so comforted himself.
"Then Mr. Li, are we going to draw up a contract now?" Ma Zhendong quickly adjusted his state and said with a smile.
Half an hour later, the two signed the contract. Ma Zhendong stood up and stretched out his hand to Li Zheng, "Pleasant cooperation, Mr. Li. After the patent document is down, you hand it over to me, and our contract will take effect. 50 million The Hong Kong Dollar will be credited to your bank account as soon as possible."
Li Zheng had a relaxed expression on his face, "Happy cooperation." Now he can probably think about how to design the laboratory in the future.
Seeing Li Zheng walk out of the office, Ma Zhendong immediately called the lending department, "Don't sign a loan recently, I'm running out of money."
"Ah, President, but I, Director He, are there..."
"I'm out of money, I'm out of money, are you going to use your salary to lend him a loan?" Ma Zhendong said angrily.
Hey, the current young man is amazing, he suddenly disrupted his steps and took the initiative. Ma Zhendong shook his head, he really took it lightly.
Almost got in touch with the Liang family, and the money issue was resolved. Li Zheng is now relaxed, he thought about it, should he go to class. After rushing to school yesterday, he didn't go to class for two days in a row. He didn't seem to be very competent as a student.
I took a taxi and went directly to Hong Kong University. Li Zheng looked at the timetable on the school's publicity window. The second class of biopharmaceuticals was about molecular biology.
When Li Zheng stepped into the classroom, there was a moment of silence in the classroom.
He looked at his watch, but he didn't have class yet.
Looking around, he went straight to find an inconspicuous place to sit down.
Although the students in the second class of biopharmaceuticals were dissatisfied with the new classmates being maverick, Li Zheng didn't bother them, but after a few seconds of silence, everyone went about their own business.
He Zhongming was surrounded by many people.
"Squad leader, I heard that at the end of this month, you are going to Tokyo to participate in the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference, right? That is an international conference! I heard that all the big figures in the biological field in Asia will participate, and as usual, a few world leaders will be invited. High-level Daniel as a guest! Will Watson go? What about Eric and Morton?"
He Zhongming lowered his head so that people couldn't see his expression, "I haven't decided yet, after all, the other two seniors are graduate students."
The acne next to him is obviously very confident in He Zhongming.
"Brother Ming, the professor has said that you are no worse than those graduate students in terms of your skills, and you are the number one in our medical school every year. You can't be anyone else. Don't be humble."
The words of acne caused a burst of sympathy from the crowd.
Li Zheng, who was sitting in the front row, slightly curved his mouth. It seemed that he and that He Zhongming were really destined, and he was probably going to destroy other people's good things again.
At this moment, He Zhongming saw Li Zheng, he suddenly stood up and walked in front of Li Zheng.
"Student Li Zheng, there is a drama in our class for Christmas. I thought that you are new here. Participating in this kind of group activity will help you integrate into the group, so I arranged a role for you."
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded to himself, "Me?"
Before he could speak, the pimple screamed, "It's you?! The chin next to Dean Xu is looking at people..." Thinking of Li Zheng's full-fledged appearance at that time, the pimple silently swallowed the word "boy" down.
