Chapter 24: Distance creates beauty

Views:

Life is ordinary and life is pure gold and silver. Although feelings are so valuable that they can make people risk their lives, but a life like Chen Binghui's, and days like that, are very few after all. The main theme of life is always inseparable from daily necessities.

The word money is synonymous with vulgarity in Chen Binghui's eyes, because he has experienced too many life, separation, and death. Or maybe for him, wealth is easy to get, but what is lost can never be recovered. That's why he can live such an extraordinary life and spend money like water.

Li Muye couldn't do what he did, at least not yet, treating money like dirt. Li Muye needs a lot of money because of Zhang Na. She was carrying a heavy debt, and her debt belonged to Li Muye. So even though he is already worth a lot of money, if there is an opportunity to make money, Li Muye will never miss it.

After selling the car and paying for the renovation costs, the remaining RMB 16 million is still lying in the bank. Tianqi Group's year-end financial settlement has also been completed. After excluding dividends and production and operation requirements for the first quarter of the next year, there is still a balance of 20 million. Fifty-five percent of this money is at Li Muye's discretion. Including the remaining money from the acquisition of Tianqi Group, the available working capital is 30 million.

Based on this calculation, if Zhang Na's incident had not happened, Li Muye could really have left Nanshan and enjoyed his retirement life in advance.

Emotions are poisonous. Li Muye's poisoning was too deep. Being kind to Zhang Na has become a genetic toxin integrated into his life. Detoxification is like killing his life.

Even if you are swimming against the current, you must persevere.

Li Muye knew that he was not a particularly talented and capable person, and that his experience and knowledge were not enough to become a great man for a while. At least for now, compared with those real people who have been ups and downs in the business world for many years, they are still not as good as they are.

The annexation of Tianqi Group was not due to his outstanding business ability. In fact, it relied on Chen Binghui's role in the military. The scam of Wei Dongming and Hong Wenxue was broken and the 50 million in cash was obtained under the leadership of Li Qizhi and others.

It was actually very stupid to go to see Hong Wenxue alone that night, but Li Qizhi and others did not stop him, which directly led to Li Muye showing his face in front of Hong Wenxue. Only then did the incident on the train finally solve the problem. But it was Chen Binghui who was tricked into the situation by him.

Now that Chen Binghui has left, if something goes wrong, there will be no one left to help wipe the mess.

The project mentioned by Wang Hongjun was indeed good, but Li Muye knew that he couldn't handle the matter of handing over money to others in the form of investment, so he would not do it anyway. If you want to do that project, just buy it and do it alone. But this requires a lot of money. Even if you include all the working capital on hand, it may not be enough.

That's why we have to wait. The people working on the project are carrying loans and need funds to carry out the project. The longer the delay, the greater the pressure on them, and the greater the room for bargaining when the actual acquisition is negotiated.

These days, Li Muye often goes to Wang Hongjun's Internet cafe. It seems like just for fun. In fact, we are trying to find out. Use various channels to determine the authenticity of this matter. Now it is basically certain that it is indeed true, only some details of the intelligence information need to be confirmed.

The Internet cafe has been moved to the old video room of the factory cinema, and the original house of Li Muye's family has long been vacated. Although the rent was due, Li Muye was not in a hurry to take it back. Recently, Wang Hongjun brought a girl from out of town to live in his house. Bewitched by this bitch, she set up a gambling game in this house and made a career out of drawing red. He attracted a group of gamblers and made the house a mess all day long.

Li Muye kept this house because he was worried that Li Muye would not be able to find him when he returned to Coal City one day. Therefore, it doesn't actually matter how Wang Hongjun works here.

The special steel plant has gone through two rounds of haphazard reforms, but its efficiency has not been greatly affected, and the income level of front-line workers is still above average. The work is hard, and there are many people who like gambling and drinking. Wang Hongjun's illegal gambling business is actually pretty good.

At this moment, this guy was wearing a newly bought large gold chain, hanging it coquettishly outside his down jacket, squatting under the wall to bask in the sun. There was a barbecue grill in the open space in front, the charcoal fire had just started, the meat skewers were ready, and the beer was poured into the snow to chill. A few gangsters who were eating and drinking were fawning around him.

Li Muye got out of the car and put on his leather jacket as he walked.

"It's snowing heavily and you're drinking cold beer. Do you want me to praise you for being awesome or call you a fool?"

"Hey, why are you so idle?" Wang Hongjun came forward and asked with a smile.

Li Muye said: "Come here for a walk if you have nothing to do. I just came from your Internet cafe. What are you doing? Are you going to have a barbecue?"

Wang Hongjun said: "I'm just messing around. Come and accompany me to fill a few bottles?"

Naturally, a gangster grilled the meat skewers, and the two of them went into the house to drink and chat.

Li Muye made some insidious remarks and brought the topic to the incident at the auto parts city.

Wang Hongjun said, forget about that matter. The bank where these people got their loans hired a credit section chief and brought out a lot of bad debts, including the fact that they had defaulted on the three-phase loan. It was also found out that there was something going on between them and the credit section chief when they applied for the loan, and then the bank deducted the money from their capital account. This group of people has no money to continue the project, let alone repay the bank loan with a profit. Because of the problem of creditworthiness, it is impossible to get a loan, so they want to borrow money from the private sector.

Li Muye was more concerned about how they were doing now. Wang Hongjun said, what else can I do? I’m going to catch them all blind. My aunt mentioned this once at home. She warned my dad that he couldn’t get involved here under any circumstances. The person who was working on the project was a high-ranking cadre. My son, I am in bad luck now. It is the time when thousands of people are beating me. Whoever cooperates with him will be in bad luck. He may not be able to eat meat and become angry.

"It's a pity that such a good project collapsed like this." Li Muye said calmly.

"Who says it's not?" Wang Hongjun said: "Our old man also said it's a pity. They have already invested more than 20 million in this project. If they add another 10 million at most, they will see benefits. The investors in the project are going crazy. , ten million will give me 40% of the shares. If I have more than ten million, I can get 40% of the shares if I invest it. Think about it, that is a commercial property of 100,000 square meters with 15 floors in a prime location in the provincial capital. , It’s like picking up money for nothing.”

Li Muye's heart pounded and he said, "Why don't you just drink here today, and I'll take you to take a look at that place." After saying that, without any further explanation, he pulled Wang Hongjun directly into the car and ran to the provincial capital.

Along the way, Li Muye kept asking himself if he was too anxious? Repeatedly analyze whether this matter is reliable or not.

An unknown person with no roots and no foundation, a twenty-year-old young man suddenly jumped out to take over a project with an investment of tens of millions and expected to be hundreds of millions. The difficulty here is not ordinary. It didn't matter if I thought about it before, but now I have to actually operate it, so I can no longer take things for granted. Every detail must be planned.

Dongtai Auto Parts City is located in the center of the densely populated area of the provincial capital. The bottom four floors of the podium have an area of 9,600 square meters, with a total usable area of more than 100,000 square meters. According to the unit price of 7,000 square meters per square meter, as long as it can be completed smoothly, the value of the land and ground properties alone will exceed Seventy million.

This is a piece of fat meat, but it is indeed a bit difficult to eat. If you want to eat it in your stomach without eating it badly, it is not enough just to have money. It's like a child carrying a pearl in a busy city. Not only will he not be able to buy what he wants, but he might even have to hook up with a group of bad guys to get him involved.

Li Muye is young, but has rich social experience. He is modest and studious. He knows that he has inherent shortcomings, so he needs to be extra cautious when doing things.

I looked carefully up and down and found that work here has been suspended. Through interviews with people around me, I heard some information about the situation, which was basically similar to what Wang Hongjun introduced.

Wang Hongjun followed like a fool, completely confused about Li Muye's intentions. In his eyes, Li Muye was at best a small upstart who used his connections to hook up with his uncle and aunt, and then made a little money by selling imported cars. The real big money was taken away by his aunt Ji Xuemei. Therefore, he had no idea that the purpose of Li Muye's troubles was not to participate in the shares, but to take over the whole business.

It was almost evening, and when he walked back to the pedestrian street in the center of Meicheng City, Li Muye took the initiative to treat him to a meal.

The two brothers chose a jar meat restaurant, and Wang Hongjun shouted for a drink as soon as he touched the stool. Li Muye casually ordered four dishes and two plates of dumplings, deliberately not ordering wine.

Wang Hongjun looked contemptuous: "It's really boring. It's already at your doorstep. What can you do after just two drinks?"

"If you want to drink, I'll drink with you. Don't make any noise to get angry. Is this a public place? Your shouting is like a monkey. It's all up to us." Li Muye said angrily: "If you want to make any noise to me again, Just go away, it will be embarrassing if I don’t accompany you, buddy.”

"Fuck, I've known you for so many years, and this is the first time I know you are such a quality person."

"This is called self-cultivation. There's no harm in reading more books." Li Muye asked the waiter to bring him a dozen beers and said, "Drink it, open it up and take a taxi home." Wang Hongjun said, "I'm just annoyed. You're so hardworking." As he said this, he raised his glass and drank a large drink in honor of me.

Li Muye took a sip and said: "I have wanted to tell you something for a long time, but I never found the right time. Today is an opportunity, so I will tell you a few more words. If you can listen, Listen, if you don’t listen, just think I’m farting.”

Wang Hongjun said: "Do we need to get vaccinated if we have something to say? Why are you so uncomfortable talking today?"

Li Muye said: "I recently read a book called Distance Creates Beauty. There is a saying in it that is very good. No matter what the relationship is, even the best buddies must have a suitable safe distance. In layman's terms, It means that when two people talk about everything, they also have to choose to say some things."

Then he said: "What I am going to say to you next may be a little unpleasant, so I want to say hello to you in advance."

Wang Hongjun drank another glass of wine, looking forward to it: "Okay, just say it, no matter how unpleasant it is, I can probably bear it."

Li Muye said: "Before I talk, let me ask you a question. If your brother-in-law were not in that position, based on what you have done over the years, would we be able to sit and chat so peacefully now?"

Wang Hongjun shook his head and said: "No, if my brother-in-law didn't care about me, I would have gone in and squatted on the fence long ago."

Li Muye said: "You are self-aware." After a pause, he added: "Let me tell you this, if you keep up the current momentum and continue to neglect your job, your brother-in-law and aunt will soon leave you alone. Because in the process of interacting with them, you have become very close to their safe distance."

"Brother, you are already twenty-eight years old. You can't always cause trouble for them. You should have a clear goal in life. If you are fooling around like this, your brother-in-law won't be able to deal with it one day. Come on, do you understand?"

Wang Hongjun lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he made a sound and nodded heavily.

Li Muye continued: "It's easy to be arrogant and domineering. That's betraying the virtue of one's ancestors. People who are really awesome don't need to write the word awesome on their faces at all times. Just like the idiot you were before, if you really meet an official My son is older than your brother-in-law, how awesome can you be?"

Wang Hongjun said: "You are the only one who can tell me this. If it were any other person, I would have thought he was farting. But your brother Xiaoye is different. I am convinced by you. You are not only righteous, but also ruthless, accurate and courageous." , my father always told me to learn more from you. The year before last year at the entrance of the memorial hall, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have killed myself. Now think about it, those who encouraged me to kill that kid were not idiots. You are just a bastard with no good intentions, you are the only one who dares to come over and slap me with my knife."

He was talking about a fight two years ago. At that time, one of his jealous rivals had been knocked to the ground. He was holding a short knife and was riding a tiger under the clamor of his brothers. It was Li Muye who rushed over to confront the knife. He gave him a big mouth and took the knife from his hand.

"The fact that you have this idea means that I saw you right." Li Muye poured him a glass of wine and said, "Brother, we have known each other for six years. We used to fool around. That was Because I was young, it was normal for my family to take care of me if something happened, but now, if I am still as worried as I was then, it would be unreasonable."

"You mean you want to persuade me to change my ways?"

"What I mean is that I hope that no matter how much you get involved in the future, you will have a clear idea of what you can do and what you can't touch." Li Muye said, "Just those little brats who have been fooling around with you recently, they are always like this every day. Wandering around outside your Internet cafe with a frown on your face, it doesn't look like a serious way at first glance. Our family business is getting bigger and bigger, so we have to know how to cherish feathers. Like this, there is a missing string in the head, and the action is not light or heavy, and it is easy to find trouble. You can no longer contact the little brat in person if he has something to do, do you understand?"

Wang Hongjun is not really an idiot, Li Muye is one of the very few people who can convince him. These words were not intended to belittle him. Although they were honest words, they were not offensive. He accepted it easily, nodded and said, "I'm probably following your train of thought. Okay, you go ahead. I think it's acceptable, buddy."

Li Muye stared into his eyes and said: "Brother, if you still want to restore the safe distance between you and your uncle, then you have to think about making money in a serious business. The premise of resource sharing is that you get the other party's resources can also bring benefits to the other party, even if they are your uncles." (End of Chapter)
