Chapter 443 A request from two old bastards
Brothers Chen Feng, Chen Rui, and Wu Mengting were all sitting at the same table.
After the banquet started, everyone started eating one after another.
Chen Feng is no exception. He got up early in the morning and has been here for several hours now. He must be a little hungry.
After everyone ate for a while, people at each table began to greet each other and toast each other.
Chen Feng was the first to bear the brunt. It can be said that most people at Zhao Guozhong's engagement banquet came for Chen Feng.
These guests who came to have a drink were originally relatives and friends of Zhao Guozhong, and everyone knew who Zhao Guozhong was.
Zhao Guozhong, who was originally an old bastard, is now a bastard. He is not only the major shareholder of a car wash shop, but also the shareholder of a small supermarket. Now he is newly married. His beautiful wife is more than ten years younger than him. It can be said that his career and love have both been successful. His originally bleak life has undergone earth-shaking changes and he has regained his second spring.
All this was because he had a good nephew like Chen Feng who provided him with money and efforts, which made him change his life.
Zhao Guozhong did not shy away from this at all. He often praised Chen Feng as a good nephew in front of relatives and friends, especially among his dozen or so brothers, who often boasted about his nephew's wealth and energy. .
Initially, most of them didn't believe it, but at first there were two brothers, Lao Liu and Lao Qi, who had experienced it firsthand, who testified, and later there were even more respectable and successful people like San Zhi and Ai Ba followed, so they couldn't help but No one believed it anymore.
Many people saw Chen Feng, the legendary "good nephew", for the first time today, so they all wanted to come over and get acquainted with him first.
Among them, Three Fingers and Short Eight are the most enthusiastic.
Three Fingers was originally the most successful among the brothers Zhao Guozhong. He did a lot of business and made some money. Now he has a net worth of 20 to 30 million. He is a shareholder of two factories. He also runs a printing factory and a non-woven fabrics factory. He usually earns at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in income a year.
But since the beginning of this year, he seemed to have started to have bad luck. First, a large order in the printing factory had a printing error, so that all the hundreds of thousands of wall calendars produced were invalid, causing heavy losses. Immediately afterwards, a workshop intern improperly operated a machine and broke three fingers.
Unable to get out of the insurance, I gave the other party 30,000 yuan. The other party's family felt that it was not enough, so they directly sued him. In the end, the court awarded compensation of 150,000 yuan. I have consulted several lawyers and they all agree that if I appeal, I may have to pay more, so I have no choice but to give up.
As for the non-woven factory, just two months ago, a fire broke out due to a short circuit in the wire at night, burning all the goods worth more than 300,000 yuan, and the machinery worth more than 500,000 yuan was also seriously damaged. , even with insurance, the compensation was only tens of thousands of yuan, not even a fraction.
Not to mention, as a result, the original orders could not be delivered as scheduled, and these orders could only be given to peers for free. Otherwise, they would have to pay liquidated damages and lose money and face. This business would suddenly become difficult to do. .
It seems that the business of the other two factories that he has invested in is not very good this year. In addition, he is not a major shareholder, so this year’s dividend is completely foreseeable. It is not much. He even has to pay off his family’s mortgage and Car loans are a bit expensive.
His current net worth of 20 to 30 million is true, but it only looks good.
Because most of them are real estate, the original printing factory and non-woven factory accounted for almost half of the assets.
Then there is the house and the car. In addition to the small villa he currently lives in in the town, he also has a 180-square-meter suite in the county, worth more than 1.5 million, where his son and his family currently live; and a suite in the city of more than 120 square meters. The house is worth more than three million; an 80-square-meter suite in Shanghai is worth more than four million.
The family also has three cars. The Mercedes-Benz that I drive costs almost one million; the BMW that my son drives costs more than 600,000; and my wife’s Buick costs more than 300,000. That adds up to more than two million points.
The three houses in the county, urban area, and Shanghai were all purchased with mortgages, as were the three cars.
Such monthly mortgage payments and car payments are not small sums. When he was making money in the past, these house loans and car loans were certainly nothing.
Not to mention, the two factories under his name each owe millions in bank loans, and they have to pay interest every month.
Now that the non-woven fabric factory has been burned down, it would cost at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan to reopen.
The funds he has on hand now are really limited. Even if the printing factory can barely transfuse some blood, it will only be enough to pay off the car loan, house loan, and bank loan interest for three or four months.
So much so that he planned to sell the house in the Magic City and the city as early as two months ago, but after hanging it for so long, there were quite a few inquiries. In the end, even though he lowered the price I tried several times but failed to make a deal.
Therefore, on the surface, he still looks very prosperous, with a net worth of 20 to 30 million, but on the inside he is actually very weak. The capital chain is already in jeopardy. If it is interrupted, he may fall into bankruptcy.
He is now in urgent need of funds to reopen his non-woven factory and improve his current poor financial situation.
Aiba originally had a car wash shop in Yuelou Town, but it was later closed down. After that, he did not reopen it, but opened another one in another nearby town.
Originally, Aiba's new car wash shop was planning to partner with Zhao Guozhong. Zhao Guozhong was very interested, but he had no capital, so he thought of borrowing more money from his nephew Chen Feng, but Chen Feng didn't tolerate him either. , refused at that time, Zhao Guozhong could only give up.
Ai Ba finally opened a new car beauty shop, commonly known as a car wash shop, in that town, but the business was not very good. Because there used to be two car washes in that town, and with his new one, there were three.
In this case, of course there won’t be much business.
And Aiba's connections in that town were not as good as those in Yuelou Town. It was good enough not to be squeezed out by the other two competitors. It was obviously impossible to squeeze them out.
It’s not like Yuelou Town and Qingpu Town now, both of which have only one car wash shop, which is simply a monopoly business.
And these two towns are now the default territory of Zhao Guozhong or Chen Feng, the "good nephew", and no one dares to invest in opening a second car wash shop.
In this regard, Ai Ba inevitably felt a little resentful towards Chen Feng and Zhao Guozhong, but they were too strong and he couldn't think of revenge at all. Instead, he had to think about currying favor with them, especially Fawn over Chen Feng. If we can cooperate with Chen Feng or Zhao Guozhong again, then it will not be difficult to squeeze out the other two car wash shops.
Three-finger and Aiba, among the fawning people, had the strongest desire to get help from Chen Feng, so they were the first ones to come over and propose a toast to Chen Feng.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion and wrong time, they would have wanted to tell Chen Feng about their affairs immediately.
Fortunately, they all still know how to behave. After all, they have just met. This time they came here simply to toast, get to know each other first, and say some compliments.
The two of them took the lead, and then everyone else came over to toast Chen Feng. Even Chen Rui, Chen Feng's brother, was also the target of these people's toast.
The two brothers sat together and respected Chen Feng. Of course, Chen Rui couldn't be ignored, otherwise he would not give Chen Feng face. Of course, the first glass of wine must be served to Chen Feng, his younger brother.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the wine shop. Cups are served to the rich and powerful people first, so Chen Rui is the older brother.
Chen Rui is very open-minded about this. The two brothers have been compared since they were young, and then he, the older brother, is completely defeated in all aspects. Chen Rui is used to this, so in his heart Very calm in person. He is indeed not as respected as his younger brother.
With so many people coming to toast, it is certainly impossible for Chen Feng to finish the cup like those who came to toast. Except for a few elders, they basically just took a small sip, even if it was interesting enough .
The engagement banquet broke up after more than two hours. Most of the guests left with wedding candies and red envelopes.
But San Zhi and Ai Ba stayed, and immediately approached Zhao Guozhong to talk and help.
Zhao Guozhong drank a lot of wine, and it was still on this happy day. Although he did not respond to their request with a pat on his chest, he generously said that he would try his best to help and took them directly to find them. Chen Feng is a nephew.
Chen Feng was still waiting for his mother at this time, so of course he found her for them.
“A Feng, these are my two friends. This is our brother, Sanzhi, and this is Xiaoba. They used to run a car wash shop here in Yuelou Town. They have something to discuss with you, you Let’s see if we can discuss it with them.”
That’s what Zhao Guozhong said. As soon as he said that, Chen Feng, a nephew, couldn't help but give him face, so he nodded and said: "Okay. Do you have anything to discuss with me?"
Chen Feng looked at them with a neutral expression, if Chen Feng would definitely reject any excessive request without hesitation.
"You go ahead and say it." Sanzhi said to Xiaoba.
Aiba didn't show any humility and directly stated his purpose.
Chen Feng frowned slightly after hearing this. The short guy said very directly that he wanted to open a car wash shop in partnership with him, and then asked Chen Feng to use his connections to squeeze out the other two competitors.
To be honest, Chen Feng despises this kind of thing that benefits oneself at the expense of others, and it is not worth it. He wanted to say, if I had the means to squeeze out the other two competitors, would I partner with you?
However, for the sake of his uncle, Chen Feng did not say this out loud.
"It's not impossible to form a partnership with you, but how will the specific shares be distributed?"
The person who said this was Chen Rui, who was next to Chen Feng. He was tempted. After all, making money, no one would have too much.
Although the two brothers' car wash shops now dominate the markets of Yuelou Town and Qingpu Town, as far as Chen Rui is concerned, he is already somewhat dissatisfied with the car wash business in these two towns. In fact, he also wants to continue to expand the business of this chain of car wash shops.
"If you two brothers join, I only need 40% of the shares and I will work for you." Aiba said with a very bold look.
Chen Rui was obviously not very satisfied with this share allocation. He shook his head and said, "Let's do this. Considering your willingness to give up the Yuelou business, we can give you 30% of the shares. Don’t feel like you’re at a disadvantage, because we plan to open at least two more chain car wash stores in the future, and you can get 30% of the shares in both of them. We can discuss it in detail at that time.”
When Ai Ba heard what Chen Rui said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although it is only 30%, these are two car wash shops, and they are also a monopoly car wash business. If he could join the gang, he would undoubtedly make a lot of money, and he would make a lot of money. Now there are two new ones, and there will definitely be more in the future.
This made Sanzhi who was listening a little tempted, and almost couldn't help but join in.
"Okay, okay, I will listen to you. If it is convenient for you now, we can discuss it carefully now." Ai Ba said impatiently.
Chen Rui asked Chen Feng: "A Feng, what do you think?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him and sighed slightly in his heart, but still supported: "This matter is your own. Let’s see. As long as it doesn’t go too far.”
"Don't worry. We are doing business legally, and we will definitely not mess around."
Chen Rui was relieved after getting his brother's approval. Of course, he also knew that his brother had HB Bureau and J Bureau. relationship, last time I used this to deal with the short guy and told him to close the shop and leave.
"Ai Ba, you and I go over there and have a good chat."
Chen Rui took Ai Ba away, which made Sanzhi breath a sigh of relief. He mainly wanted to borrow money from Chen Feng this time. It was definitely inappropriate to do so in front of others.
"What's the matter with you?" Chen Feng asked directly and politely. He didn't have a good impression of these three fingers.
There was no one around, so Three Fingers kept the story short. He directly stated that he was having difficulty with cash flow and wanted to borrow a sum of money from him. The best would be five million, but the minimum should not be less than three million. He would pay interest and get a house. Mortgage it to him.
When Chen Feng heard that he wanted to borrow money, he shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, I don't have that much cash on hand right now. You'd better find someone else."
Three fingers to one Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "A Feng, I know you are rich. Don't worry, I have a mortgage. I can mortgage the house in Magic City to you. That house is worth more than four million. In Magic City, in the city It's right next to Shanghai University, and there are good kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools nearby. It's in the school district. I can still pay off the mortgage. I only owe the bank less than one million. I'll use this house as a mortgage to lend it to you. Three million. Even if there is no money to pay you back in the future, you will not lose, but make a profit."
"In that case, why don't you go to the bank for a mortgage?" Chen Feng asked in his mind. Confuse.
Three Fingers smiled bitterly again and said: "It is difficult for the bank to approve a second mortgage loan for this kind of house. Even if it is approved, the interest rate will be relatively high. In addition, the procedures are also very troublesome. I am a big boss. , but if we can’t get these, we might as well borrow money directly from the private sector.”
Another thing he didn't say was that Sanzhi wanted to use this to build a relationship with Chen Feng. Even if he couldn't pay for it in the future, he still felt it was worth it to transfer the house in the Magic City to Chen Feng. Because, it was like letting Chen Feng take advantage of him in disguise, and they had a relationship.
Looking at this relationship in the future, if anything happens, it will definitely be easier to ask Chen Feng for help.
A veteran like Sanzhi can have a million ways to establish a relationship with someone, provided of course that he has the opportunity to get to know the other person.
