Three months later, through Xiang Nan's mediation, Chunming and Yang Huajian were cleared of charges of car smuggling.
Because even though the cars they sold were from improper sources, after all, they didn’t smuggle the cars, they just resold them. This makes the sin much lighter. As long as you turn over your illegal gains and pay the corresponding fines, you can get corresponding reductions and exemptions.
After hearing the news, the Han family and the Su family breathed a sigh of relief.
Chunming quickly took out all the money and paid the illegal gains and fines. But even so, there is still a gap of more than two million.
Faced with the shortfall of two million, the Han family once again had a headache.
They are all working-class people. Even if they have some savings, they may not have even 10,000 yuan in total. Therefore, the little money they have is just a drop in the bucket and cannot be used for big purposes.
"How about we let Su Meng think of a way?" Han Chunsong said. Her uncle came back from Xiangjiang and heard that he could make a lot of money.
"No, it's not easy for Su Meng to be willing to guard Chunming. Can you open your mouth to ask for money again?" Ruan Sufen immediately refused after hearing this.
"How about opening up with Jianjun. He has written so many books and he should have made a lot of money." Han Chunyan suggested.
"Jianjun has already helped a lot. It's two million, why should we open our mouths again?" Ruan Sufen waved her hand again.
Xiang Nan is a good friend. During the time when Chunming was here, he was busy looking for lawyers and looking for connections, otherwise Chunming's crime would not be so easily reduced.
"Then what do you think we should do? We can borrow tens of thousands of yuan, maybe we can get it together. Now it's two million. Even if we squeeze all our bones, we can't get that much money." The second brother Han Chunsheng spread his hands and said.
"Hmph, when Xiao Wuzi was in his glory days, none of us could take advantage of it. Now that something has happened to him, we have to pay for it~" Sister-in-law Zhang Cuifen said even more sarcastically.
"Stop saying a few words." Han Chunsong glanced at her and said, even if the wife was telling the truth, it was not the right time to say that now.
"You don't have to worry. If you can pay the money, just pay it. If you can't pay it, Xiao Wuzi will go to jail. He caused this disaster himself, and he also suffered this karma." Seeing her say this, Ruan Sufen felt cold. said coldly.
…
At this time, Xiang Nan stepped forward and wanted to lend Chunming two million to help him alleviate his crimes.
After Chunming heard about it, he immediately refused.
"Jianjun, I already owe you a lot, how dare I take this responsibility?" He said guiltily.
These days, he thought a lot in prison and really owed Xiang Nan.
From the time he returned to the city until now, Xiang Nan has been helping him and persuading him. It's a pity that he listened too much and remembered little, otherwise he wouldn't be here today. How could he owe someone else anymore?
"Okay, let's not talk about this now." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "As long as the sentence can be reduced and he can be released early, money is nothing."
"No, I can't be so selfish." Chunming waved her hands.
Two million is not a small amount, and besides, he won't be able to pay it back for a while.
"Well, you're still Jin Manying's major shareholder. In this way, you mortgage your shares to me." Seeing that he was at a loss, Xiang Nan had no choice but to help him find a way, "Those shares are worth two million , it’s definitely more than enough.”
After hearing this, Chunming nodded, "Don't talk about mortgage, I'll sell it to you directly."
Xiang Nan's mortgage, to put it bluntly, is a waste of money. After he is released from prison, Xiang Nan will return the shares to him even if he cannot pay back the money.
So he couldn't do that and would rather sell the shares directly to Xiang Nan. In this way, as a friend, he doesn't need to owe so many favors.
"Chunming, then you have to think about it. If you pledge your shares to me, you will still have a piece of property after you get out. But if you want to sell it to me, you will have nothing after you get out." Xiang Nan reminded him.
"It's okay. After my brother goes out, there are ways to make money." Chunming waved his hand.
Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that Chunming had the ability and the inventory. Not to mention anything else, he at least still has a batch of antiques on hand. When we are really at the end of our rope, selling just one piece will be enough to last a lifetime.
"That's okay." Xiang Nan agreed.
…
However, after this incident spread, it caused new twists and turns.
It turned out that Su Meng's uncle Liu Botao wanted to get involved when he heard that Chunming was selling Jin Manying's shares.
Because he had heard of Jin Manying, a well-known brand in the catering industry in the capital. There were eighteen chain stores opened and each business was booming. It was even more famous than time-honored brands such as Donglaishun, Quanjude and Zhengyanglou.
Therefore, now that Chunming is selling shares, he thinks it is a good opportunity, so he also wants to participate in the bidding.
Xiang Nan was naturally very dissatisfied when he saw him stepping in.
Not to mention that Jin Manying was the brand he created. He put in so much effort and did not want outsiders to get involved. Even if he wanted to introduce foreign capital, he didn't want to cooperate with Liu Botao.
Because he knew that Liu Botao was just a troublemaker, only interested in profit and arrogant. It's not a pleasure to work with such people.
But then again, he couldn't stop it.
Once he blocked him, it seemed that he was selfish and wanted to take advantage of Chunming's imprisonment and take advantage of his brother.
Therefore, he could only let Liu Botao participate in the bidding to show that he had no selfish intentions.
…
Chunming didn't want Liu Botao to come in and get involved.
Because he doesn't like Liu Botao either.
Liu Botao had been structuring things between him and Su Meng at the beginning, obstructing them and not wanting them to be together. He also heard that after his accident, Liu Botao encouraged Su Meng to divorce him.
He really didn't want to work with someone like this.
But no matter how bad Liu Botao is, he is still Su Meng's uncle after all.
Su Meng was willing to wait for him outside and serve his mother at home, which made him feel that he owed her a lot.
It would also be harmful to Su Meng if she shut her uncle out.
With his wife on one side and his childhood on the other, Chunming also hesitated.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan didn't embarrass him for too long and directly agreed to Liu Botao's participation in the bidding.
Later, Chunming's eldest brother Han Chunsong presided over the bidding, and Xiang Nan and Liu Botao bid as a family.
"Mr. Liu, you are Su Meng's uncle. Jianjun, you are Chunming's childhood friend. We are not outsiders. I also know that you are all here to help Chunming." Han Chunsong said with a smile, "So, wait a minute Our bidding will be based on our ability and will end as soon as we click, so as not to ruin the harmony."
Xiang Nan and Liu Botao both nodded.
"Well, Chunming's shareholding in Jin Manying is 33%. The base price is 2.2 million. Doesn't it make sense to you two?" Han Chunsong asked again.
Xiang Nan and Chunming each held half of Jin Manying's original shares. Later, after Guan Xiaoguan was promoted by Xiang Nan, she occupied 10% of the company's shares. She also spent her own money to buy 10% of the shares. Therefore, Chunming's shares were reduced from 50% to 33%.
Xiang Nan and Liu Botao both nodded.
Then, the bidding officially began.
