Unlike Xiang Nan who escaped, Su Meng's Taolue Real Estate overturned.
Although she received Chunming's warning, she didn't take it to heart. Not only did she fail to withdraw funds in time, but she also accelerated expansion.
As a result, Taolue Real Estate was in bad luck as soon as the national control policy was introduced.
The house couldn't be sold, the bank was asking for the loan, the engineering company was asking for the company, the supplier was asking for money for materials, and she even borrowed private funds in order to expand... and now she's in trouble.
Debt collectors came to the company one after another, and even came to her home to collect debts, chasing Su Meng until she had nowhere to hide, and she was extremely embarrassed.
When Chunming heard about this, he was very sad, so he discussed with Xiang Nan, "Jianjun, can you help her?"
"I don't dare to help. I'm afraid that if I help her, she will say that I look down on her again." Xiang Nan pouted.
"The founding of the army is a thing of the past. Why do you keep thinking about it?" Chunming said with a wry smile.
Xiang Nan curled his lips.
Chunming is a kid who only cares about eating and not fighting. A few days ago, when he went to remind Su Meng, he was scorned and treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Now that the scar has healed and I have forgotten the pain, I actually want to help her again. It’s true that dogs can’t change what they eat!
"I don't want to take it to heart, but my memory is too good." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Chunming, as a buddy, I still want to advise you to break up with Su Meng as soon as possible. You two are not in the same league. It’s suitable, why bother to get it together?”
Su Meng is finished now and owes almost 200 million in debt to outsiders. How could she pay back so much money? Liu Botao was her uncle, and he didn't help her change money.
On the one hand, it would not help if he put all the money he had; on the other hand, even if Su Meng was his niece, she would not be as close as Qian at the critical moment.
So when Taolue Real Estate overturned, Liu Butao ran away immediately.
"Jianjun, Su Meng didn't give up on me when I was in prison. It's impossible for me to give up on her now." Chunming explained.
"Chunming, you..." Xiang Nan looked at him, hating his misfortune and being angry that he wouldn't fight.
"You are making it difficult for me." He sighed again.
Chunming is a nice person, and he would be willing to give him a hand if possible. But he didn't like Su Meng at all. Seeing her misfortune made him feel quite happy.
Furthermore, this time the debt is 200 million, which is not a small amount. In 1993, the monthly salary of ordinary people was only four to five hundred yuan. It was quite a feat to be a householder with ten thousand yuan.
Two hundred million funds can be said to be an astronomical figure. Even for Chunming's sake, Xiang Nan didn't want to get such a large sum of money.
"I know, I don't want your money in vain." Chunming said cruelly, "You also know that I collected a large number of antiques back then. Although they are not very valuable, I believe that 20 million is still available.
In addition, our company can take over Taolue Real Estate’s projects. In this case, the funding gap will only be about 50 million. For my sake, how about lending me another 30 million? "
"Chunming, those antiques have been your treasure for half your life, do you really have the heart to sell them?" Xiang Nan said in surprise, "What's more, is it really worth it for Su Meng?"
"Jianjun, please stop trying to persuade me. I, Han Chunming, can't live without Su Meng in this life." Chunming said categorically.
"You~" Xiang Nan shook his head speechlessly, "Forget it, it's superfluous to persuade you any more. Okay, I'll just do it to you~"
Not to mention that the land and buildings of Taolue Real Estate have great potential for appreciation. Even those antiques from Chunming will increase in price by ten or twenty times if collected for another ten years.
Especially after the Olympic Games, there has been a craze for collecting among the people, and the prices of antiques have skyrocketed. Therefore, Xiang Nan actually did not lose money on this transaction.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan bought all Taolue Real Estate in the name of acquisition. All assets of Taolue Real Estate, good and bad, belong to Kunpeng. Even Su Meng became the branch manager.
After the acquisition, those debts can be settled. Debts owed by banks, suppliers, and engineering companies are all easy to resolve. With the endorsement of Kunpeng Real Estate, these debts can be postponed.
Only private loans of more than 20 million yuan were more troublesome, and Xiang Nan didn't want to delay, so he paid it back directly. Therefore, the actual money he took out was only more than 20 million.
But what he gained was several real estates and land in prime locations, as well as antiques and antiques that Chunming had accumulated in half his life.
There are many fine products among them, such as bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronzes from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, bricks and tiles from the Qin and Han dynasties, gold ware from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, calligraphy and paintings from the Song and Yuan dynasties, porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and so on.
These cultural relics alone are priceless, and now they all belong to Xiang Nan. He was so happy that he thought about following Chunming's example and opening a museum so that everyone could come and see his collection.
After this calamity, Su Meng finally lost her pride.
During the most difficult time, she even thought about dying. And this incident also made her see clearly who really cares about her and loves her.
Therefore, she and Chunming completely reconciled, and for this reason, she was willing to put down her work, return to her family, and give birth to a son for Chunming.
After Xiang Nan heard about it, he was happy for Chunming.
…
In July, Zhang Yimou also formally agreed to Xiang Nan's invitation and decided to resign from Chang'an Film Factory and join Xiang Nan's private film company.
When the news came out, it caused quite a stir.
Because Zhang Yimou can be said to be the most popular director in the mainland, he has entered the three major European film festivals, and his reputation is unparalleled. Many people are surprised that such a director trained by the state has now left a state-owned film studio and gone to a private film company.
But some people think that reform of the film system and marketization will happen sooner or later. As an individual, Zhang Yimou has the right to decide his own work.
However, no matter what the outside world thinks, Xiang Nan welcomes his arrival.
"Director Zhang, congratulations on making the right choice." He said with a smile.
Zhang Yimou nodded.
He defected to Xiang Nan. In addition to the money factor, the more important thing was that they were very happy with their previous cooperation. Only with this foundation can he be willing to come.
"This is the script I prepared for you." Xiang Nan handed him a script. "I thought this story was very interesting, so I bought it and adapted it into a script. I think it's suitable for you to film."
Zhang Yimou took it and took a look and saw the five characters "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" written on the cover.
He read the content carefully again, then smiled and nodded.
"Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" tells the story of a farmer, Qiu Ju, who helps her husband seek justice. The plot is actually very simple, but it contains profound meaning.
Moreover, his previous films such as "Ju Dou", "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Farewell My Concubine", "Alive", etc. are all passable stories.
He has basically never touched movies with realistic themes and lacks humanistic attention. And this script, he felt, just helped him make up for this lesson.
