Lu Zhou: “I always thought that practitioners in the financial industry would consider risks more.”
To be honest, he still doesn't have a clear and feasible idea on how to solve the mess of Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group. After all, there are too many things involved in this thing, and it is far more than just the 10 billion credits on the surface.
"Nice to meet you, what a coincidence..." After shaking hands with him and letting go, Lu Zhou asked curiously, "By the way, why were you sent here?"
However, the credit of Tiangong City has gone bankrupt with the defeat of the civil war, and the bonds issued are no different from pieces of paper. When the acting mayor leaves, the next mayor may not recognize it.
"You mean... you plan to take over the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Foundation project?"
"It's hard to talk about taking the blame, but if it's not handled well, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to get promoted in the future," Zhong Ziyu smiled and continued, "But thinking about it from another perspective, if this matter can be handled well, , it may not be an opportunity for me. For example, this time the headquarters sent me here and directly promoted my position from the manager of the district branch to the manager of the Tiangong Branch, which is equivalent to jumping two levels directly. "
"That's it..." After hearing this, Lu Zhou showed a pity expression on his face, "That's such a pity. I also plan to buy the starship and continue to build it."
After listening to this guy's whisper, Lu Zhou was silent for a while and then sighed.
"Risks and opportunities coexist," Zhong Ziyu smiled and continued, "Speaking of which, I heard about the Nanmen Second Colony Exploration Fund. Do you have anything you want to talk to me about?"
Hearing these words, Zhong Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses and stood up with his hands on the conference table.
With the help of Wang Peng, Lu Zhou met the executives sent by the AIIB to Tiangong City to liquidate the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group. However, what he didn't expect was that the person who came was actually his acquaintance - Zhong Ziyu, the former managing director of East Asia Electric Power.
If someone else said this to him, he would probably think it was a joke. But it was Lu Zhou who said these words, so he couldn't think of it as a joke.
Although he is not very interested in money, he is still very interested in being able to spend less money.
Lu Zhou: "Just?"
"It's just that I really don't recommend you to do this," Zhong Ziyu smiled bitterly and continued, "After all, we can't cheat you... The Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Fund currently has a large colonial ship that has not yet been completed on its account. , there is only a pile of bad debts that cannot be sorted out. Remember the 10 billion corporate bonds they issued before? More than half of it has been used up, and the remaining bit is not enough to compensate."
However…
He has probably seen the starship design plan of the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Foundation. Just looking at the concept drawings, there are many remarkable things.
"I thought you were trying to catch a loophole," Zhong Ziyu smiled sheepishly. Seeing Lu Zhou's speechless expression, he quickly continued, "If you are really optimistic about the 'Noah's Ark' project, you plan to Once it's done... I can think of a way for you, which should help you save a lot of money."
In addition to the bad debts of these 5 billion credit points, there is also the money that has been invested in the "Noah's Ark" project. Now that Gladstone has been arrested, the normal operations of the South Gate Second Colonial Exploration Group have come to a standstill, and the entire project has been completely suspended. According to the contract, they have to pay a dismantling fee for the removal of "scrap iron" in the shipyard.
But this is simply more unrealistic than Pan-Asian Cooperation officials stepping forward to provide financial support for Tiangong City. Therefore, Zhong Ziyu just made a fuss in his mind and had no hope of doing anything in this regard.
But Pan-Asian cooperation is not stupid, how could it be possible to provide such a guarantee that has no benefits at all!
Unless someone is willing to take over...
"Oh?" Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Tell me about it."
I saw this man who was said to be the pinnacle of human mind took a sip of tea and slowly made a proposal that he couldn't believe.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Zhong Ziyu to agree to such a proposal.
Looking at this guy speechlessly, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said.
Seeing the interested expression on Lu Zhou's face, Zhong Ziyu smiled mysteriously, leaned closer and whispered a few words to him.
"Hello, Academician Lu," looking at Lu Zhou standing in the conference room, this elegant and easy-going man showed a smile on his face and took the initiative to extend his right hand, "We meet again."
Lu Zhou never expected that he would be the person in charge of the bankruptcy liquidation of Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group
Lu Zhou: "Then wouldn't you be the one taking the blame?"
After all, this guy is really rich, even if it is described as being as rich as a country, it is not an exaggeration.
The next day, the conference room of the Star Hotel.
"Sorry, ahem... to talk about this," Zhong Ziyu smiled awkwardly and continued quickly, "Of course there is no problem. We have roughly estimated their assets. You only need to spend less than 500 million credit points. I can buy the entire company. But... "
"I want to buy the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group."
With his eyebrows raised, Zhong Ziyu sat down at the conference table with a hint of curiosity, crossed his hands and rested them on his knees, and quietly waited for Lu Zhou to speak.
"There is indeed something I want to discuss with you," Lu Zhou said, making a gesture to sit down, smiled and continued, "Let's sit down and talk."
"Yeah," Lu Zhou looked at him strangely and continued, "otherwise, why would I buy that company?"
The opinion of the acting mayor appointed by Pan-Asian Cooperation to take over the Tiangong City Hall is that Tiangong City needs to be rebuilt, so the 5 billion funds that have been transferred to the city hall account cannot be returned, and can only be in the form of bonds at most. return.
By the way, is this a promotion or a demotion
After all, this thing is the masterpiece of Academician Yang Chongping, a leading engineer in the Martian academic and industrial circles. Gladstone's attitude does not seem to mean that he intends to fool around with it casually. It would be too easy to just leave it there and wait to rust. What a shame.
The first words Lu Zhou spoke after he sat down made him stunned.
Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Zhong Ziyu said: "I can't help it. This matter is very important, involving tens of billions of bad debts. The level is too low to handle it. The level is too high and I am afraid that it will not be handled well, so I will be the one to deal with it." Those who can’t get up are sent here.”
"Wait, you mean... you plan to continue the Noah's Ark project?"
"You guys in the banking industry are really talented when it comes to cutting leeks."
"...What does taking over mean? Can't you use a nicer word?"
After sitting there stunned for a long time, Zhong Ziyu immediately sat up straight on his chair, looked at Lu Zhou and said calmly.
Probably last year, he was transferred from the board of directors of East Asia Electric Power back to the headquarters of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The last time Lu Zhou saw him, he had already reached the position of branch president.
"How can you say that?" Zhong Ziyu leaned back on his chair after settling a major matter and said in a very unhappy mood, "This is just a matter of rational application of rules and efficient allocation of social resources."
Unless, there is Pan-Asian cooperation guarantee.
