When Wei Lan thinks of Lanke Group, her heart itch with hatred.
This company is the mastermind behind the attempt to swallow up Juncheng Real Estate, and this is not the first time that Lanke Group has tried to swallow up Juncheng. Fortunately, the previous times were resolved by Wei Lan and his father. With the healthy development of the company, Wei Jun The father and daughter have never given each other an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they have also made their own businesses bigger and bigger. But now, with their father being deeply involved in Wu Qinghai's case, the other party has seized an excellent opportunity. .
Lanke Group, like Juncheng, has set its sights on the new district, but Lanke is a large group and its strategic deployment and implementation are not as flexible as Juncheng. By the time they were ready to take action, Juncheng had already taken the three most promising pieces of land in the new district. Go and start construction with great fanfare.
The three real estate projects developed by Juncheng Real Estate in the new district this time can be said to have exhausted the entire company's experience. The three projects are all closely focused on the new urban rail line that is about to be constructed. Not only do they take advantage of rail transportation, but they also have the strong support of the municipal government. The favorable policies for developing new areas can be said to be a unique blessing.
The high-tech park in the new district is already under construction. When completed, it will become the largest high-tech park in the entire Shanghai-Shenzhen Triangle. Countless large companies are about to move in, so that the average price of surrounding residences has continued to rise, and a large number of citizens and real estate speculators are nervous. Staring at the three properties of Juncheng Real Estate, a group of real estate speculators in Wenzhou even offered to buy half of the properties before they opened.
After the accident, the thing that Wei Lan regrets most so far is that she strongly suggested that Juncheng Real Estate not sell off-plan properties for these three properties. Otherwise, Juncheng Real Estate would have already kept the costs and profits in its hands by selling off-plan properties. In that way, even if the money in the company's accounts is seized by the court, I will feel a lot more relaxed. At least if the bank applies for forced repayment of the loan, it can directly withdraw the money from the company's accounts, so that it will not involve three people who have invested heavily. Real estate projects are pushed into a deadlock situation.
The reason why Weilan did not recommend selling off-plan properties at the beginning was a rational decision based on many factors. On the one hand, Juncheng Real Estate has the financial ability to build these three properties. On the other hand, the price of off-plan properties is bound to be higher than that of existing properties. Low, unable to maximize profits. In addition, there is Wei Lan’s own ambition in the real estate field. She has always felt that selling off-plan properties is not a strategy that a powerful real estate company should adopt. Most of the off-plan properties are small The development of real estate companies, even the off-plan properties of large real estate companies, are the product of some counterproductive efforts. Most real estate projects continue to receive negative news, which has a great impact on the corporate image.
It is precisely because Wei Lan wants to be a real estate company with the most valuable brand and recognition in the country on the Shanghai Stock Exchange that she insists on selling existing houses. So far, all three projects in which she has invested such a large cost have been sealed by the court. The situation is extremely passive. When thinking of this, Wei Lan felt extremely guilty.
Now, Song Zhilei, as a shareholder of Juncheng, actually helped Lanke Group to "persuade" him to let go. Based on Weilan's understanding of Song Zhilei, such a talent would not accept a valuation of several hundred million to transfer his shares of Juncheng Real Estate. Now that he has repeatedly threatened himself to submit for such a low price, he must have reached a private agreement with Lanke Group long ago.
Wei Lan asked Song Zhilei to go to bed, but Song Zhilei did not get angry. A few minutes later, he sent a message: "Wei Lan, as an uncle, I would like to advise you. You are too young to be obsessed with money. You also have to think about your father. If you agree to transfer Juncheng to Lan Ke now, Lan Ke will immediately pull your father out of Wu Qinghai's case. In this way, your father will be able to return to China openly. When the time comes, If you still have some money in your hand, you can retire if you don’t want to work, and if you want to work, you can find opportunities to make a comeback. It’s always better than hiding abroad like now.”
Wei Lan ignored him. After a while, Song Zhilei sent another message: "Wei Lan, you can stay away from food and salt, but if you drag on, as long as the court convicts your dad, he will never be able to return to China and live a stable life. There are only two outcomes in the future: either I will be put in a box and come back, or I will come back and live in prison for the rest of my life. You should think about it carefully and take care of yourself."
Seeing this message, Wei Lan almost threw the phone down with hatred. She knew that Song Zhilei was pursuing profit, but she didn't know that he was so profit-seeking that he was so shameless. This text message was full of threats and curses, as if he didn't sell the company to Lan. Ke, it seems that my father will never be able to get rid of his crimes and never return to China. Weilan knows very well that if she agrees to sell Juncheng Real Estate to Lan Ke at a low price, there is no way that Lan Ke will let her father be involved in Wu Qinghai's case. If Lanke gets such a large amount of gray profits, it is impossible for them to leave a way for their father to survive. By then, what they are thinking about must be how to avoid future troubles.
Song Zhilei regarded himself as a three-year-old child, and even used the words that he was obsessed with money and ignored his father's safety to motivate himself. It was really abominable!
For Lanke Group, the best result right now is to take advantage of Juncheng's big trouble, acquire Juncheng at a low price, and then use its own ability to free Juncheng from this case, but only the company will be released. Just because the company has been unsealed does not mean that the court will give up prosecuting her father. There is no necessary connection between the two.
Although Wei Lan still didn't know how to solve the current crisis, after being so inspired by Song Zhilei, she was certain of at least one thing. At this time, she must hold on to the mentality that she would rather be broken than destroyed. In the end, as long as the court has not ruled and as long as the three real estate projects that Juncheng invested heavily in have not been forced to auction by the bank, there is a chance that this matter will turn around. She must not let herself ruin her father's years of hard work. No matter what, she will Stay the course.
Song Zhilei's text message ignited Weilan's fighting spirit. She didn't eat a bite of the meal she ordered. She immediately paid and left. She drove back to the company. On the way, she called the lawyer and asked them to go back and meet. She had some details that needed to be discussed. The lawyer will confirm it in detail.
When the lawyer returned to the company, Wei Lan immediately summoned them all to his office and asked: "How can we avoid losses to the greatest extent if we do not protect Dong Wei from being convicted? What if the court convicts Wei Dong is guilty, what is the biggest crisis facing Juncheng Real Estate?"
The lawyers exchanged opinions with each other, and the leading lawyer gave a unified conclusion: "Mr. Wei, if we give up exonerating Director Wei, then our biggest crises will be two. One is how long will the court delay the final decision? The verdict is pronounced; the other one is how much responsibility the court will judge Juncheng Real Estate to bear."
Wei Lan nodded: "Tell me more specifically."
The lawyer said eloquently: "Under normal circumstances, we have to repay all bank loans from the end of this year to the first half of next year. If the court delays for a long time and the building has not been unblocked in the first half of next year, we will have to pay back the money we owe the bank." Otherwise, the bank has the right to conduct a compulsory auction of the real estate. If the auction is forced, we, Juncheng Real Estate, will have nothing left. After all, almost all of our homes are worth less than these three real estates. Unless we have a way to pay back If the money goes to the bank, the bank will not have the right to auction our property."
Wei Lan said: "I understand this. In other words, as long as we can afford to repay the bank loan, we can keep these three properties, right?"
The lawyer said: "Theoretically, this is the case, but it also depends on what responsibility Juncheng Real Estate will bear if the court finds Wei Dong guilty. According to previous cases, the court does not have the power to conduct full-scale seizure and auction of enterprises involved in bribery, especially For this kind of large-scale project that can easily cost billions, they can only roughly assess the range of illegal gains and then give a specific penalty standard. For the company, as long as we fulfill the court's judgment against Juncheng Real Estate, the company will You can get back the temporarily seized assets.”
Wei Lan blurted out: "We have all the qualifications required to develop those three properties, and they are completely open and transparent. In this case, how will the court determine our illegal gains?"
The lawyer flipped through the information he had compiled before, thought for a moment, and said: "In this case, it is difficult for the court to specifically determine how much unjust gains were made by Juncheng Real Estate. According to experience, the court will generally judge those involved in the crime of bribery." According to the amount, a rough proportional coefficient is set as a fine for the enterprise, and this coefficient is usually between 3-5 times."
Wei Lan said: "The amount involved in the case currently reported by the court is 20 million, 3-5 times, that is, 60 million to 100 million, right?"
The lawyer nodded: "It should not exceed 100 million."
Wei Lan asked again: "If we have money to repay the bank loan and pay the fine for illegal gains imposed by the court, does that mean that Juncheng Real Estate can get out of this case?"
The lawyer said: "Yes, as a company, we repaid the loan in a timely manner and paid the price we should pay. Naturally, the court has no reason to continue to block our assets. By then, all real estate of Juncheng Real Estate will be unfrozen, but Wei Dongna Bian is very pessimistic and may never be able to return to China through normal channels in the future."
Wei Lan nodded and said calmly: "None of this matters."
For Weilan, she has already prepared for the worst. If the court prosecutes her father and convicts him, he will be allowed to stay abroad completely and never come back. He is just a side branch of the Wu Qinghai case and should be raised. He is not wanted by the country, and there is no extradition treaty between China and the United States. His safety can at least be guaranteed. I believe that after all this, my father will be disappointed and will not be willing to come back. In this case, he can let go Fight them with all hands and feet to the end.
Wei Lan quickly figured out the other things she had to do at the moment. The most important thing was to find a way to raise more money. From now to next year, as long as she could afford to repay the bank loan, she could seize these three properties. After holding on for a year or two, after the court makes a ruling, the value of these three properties should be sky-high. By then, everything will be solved. Now, the only thing to do is to negotiate with Lanke Group and Song Zhiqiang The flow is better than endurance.
