Office of the President of Shengxuan Group.
Lin Yue sat on the single sofa in the reception area, opposite Tan Zongming.
He pushed a feasibility report in front of Tan Zongming.
"What's this?"
"I have read the financial statements provided by Andy. The situation in Shengxuan's personal PC business is not optimistic. Of course, this is inseparable from the shrinking market demand. To be honest, if credit bonds are issued, With Shengxuan’s size, reputation, and financial reports, even if the coupon rate is above 8 points, it will not be very attractive.”
Tan Zongming picked up the feasibility report and flipped through it several times, then pondered: "Then according to your opinion, how should we solve the funding problem?"
Lin Yue took out another feasibility report and pushed it over, but did not let go immediately. He looked into Tan Zongming's eyes and said, "Do you still remember what we agreed on?"
"Remember." Tan Zongming said slowly: "You help me complete the merger and acquisition of Red Star, and I will help you bring down the Bao Group."
"Very good." Lin Yue then removed the hand holding the feasible report.
Tan Zongming took out the second feasibility report, glanced at the content page, and his expression changed.
"Private placement bonds?"
Lin Yue nodded: "That's right."
Tan Zongming frowned: "Didn't you mean to issue bonds to raise funds for the merger and acquisition of Red Star? Why is there..."
"Backdoor listing?" Lin Yue said, "This is my win-win plan."
"What do you mean, I don't understand." Tan Zongming found that with his proud business acumen, he had no way to understand Lin Yue's operations with the information he currently had.
"Have you forgotten my job?" Lin Yue paused and said again: "Helping companies IPO listing financing, just in time, I have a listed company in hand that is almost in talks, and wants to sell its shell, and the merger and acquisition of Red Star can be Let's put it aside for a moment and turn our attention to buying a shell. You should understand that with Shengxuan's current scale and development prospects, there is still a long way to go before it can be listed, but the greater possibility is to do so. Don't even think about ringing the bell on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange until the company goes bankrupt, so buying a shell and listing it is a good choice. Well, the board of directors of Shengxuan probably won't object to my proposal..."
Indeed, backdoor listing can raise more funds than issuance of corporate bonds. Similarly, listing is the ultimate goal of many companies, but the biggest problem is that this shell is not cheap.
"Shengxuan doesn't have enough capital to acquire Red Star. If he buys a shell, I'm afraid the gap will be even bigger."
Lin Yue said: "This goes back to the issue of private placement bonds. If you use the excuse of expanding operations to contact major investors, I think Bao Yifan will think that it is used to acquire Red Star. Next, I will because Wang Baichuan's affairs have turned against him, completely cutting off his thoughts about Red Star. At this time, you come forward and hope that he can lend money to Shengxuan to complete the merger and acquisition, and give him the promise of debt-for-equity swap after the merger is completed. From his perspective , you can earn interest by lending you debt, and you can also choose debt-for-equity swaps. This not only bypasses me and the Red Star board of directors, but also allows you to get a share of the pie in the end. There is no reason to refuse. As for why I blocked Shengxuan's acquisition of Red Star in the first place, and now Can I help you? I’ve also thought of the reason for you, because Andy and I are dating, and it’s reasonable to help my girlfriend’s company complete a merger and acquisition, isn’t it?”
Tan Zongming's expression changed, and he thought that this was okay?
Lin Yue said: "Of course, Andy's opinion must be sought in advance for this method, because you have to think about it in front of outsiders, otherwise how can you deceive Bao Yifan?"
Tan Zongming said: "I'll tell Andy about this, but if you want to buy a shell, even if you defraud the Bao Group's financial support, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Lin Yue continued: "As I mentioned before, there is also the path of private equity bonds. All you need to do is sign a gambling agreement. Funders who are keen on making money by going public will definitely be willing to embrace Shengxuan with open arms."
Tan Zongming said: "Then what?"
"Then the negotiation to acquire Red Star collapsed and he was unable to repay the debts of the Bao Group. After a period of delay, he told him that the money was used to buy a shell. After the listing, the money was collected. Not to mention paying the principal and interest, even if he paid more liquidated damages, it would be no problem. Yes, Bao Yifan will definitely not ask for money. Debt-for-equity swaps would be great at that time. However, God knows whether the Bao Group can survive the period of time Shengxuan delays it... For our cooperation, you only need to do That’s enough.”
Listed, what a tempting word.
Tan Zongming looked thoughtful. To be honest, he had never thought about buying a shell and listing it because it was an issue that would only be considered if the business situation was good after the merger with Red Star. Now Lin Yue has drawn a big pie for him. To eat or not to eat?
"Going public can expand Shengxuan's scale and influence. With the proceeds from financing, we can capture the red star. You can imagine how high the stock price will rise. One cooperation with me is worth ten years of steady development of Shengxuan. Nothing in the world is free. lunch, Mr. Tan should know this better than me. If you want to get high returns, you have to take risks that exceed the average level. Should you make up your mind to give it a try, or should you hold back? I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. After all, Huicheng's The shell is very popular, I can’t hold him back for too long.”
After saying this, Lin Yue stood up and left.
Tan Zongming sent him to the door and bumped into Andy when he was walking back.
"Lin Yue is here?"
"Yes, I just sent him away."
Andy glanced around: "Are you here to talk about that matter?"
"That's right." Tan Zongming said, "Let's talk in my office."
"good."
The two came to the CEO's office. Tan Zongming took out a bottle of Evian water from under the coffee table and handed it to her: "Andy, I may need your help in this matter."
Andy knew that the "help" here must be help outside of work: "What do you mean?"
Naturally, Tan Zongming would not hide it from her and briefly summarized what Lin Yue said just now.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Andy was silent for a long time, feeling at a loss for this "help", also surprised that Lin Yue turned over his hand to cover up the rain, and also confused about Lao Tan's ambiguous attitude.
"Before I answer your question, I'd like to hear your opinion."
Tan Zongming said: "As you said, he does have real talent and learning. Regarding this matter, I am also hesitating whether to stab Bao Yifan in the back or to use the trick to trick someone named Lin. However, No matter who I choose, I can't do without your 'help'."
Andy thought for a while and said, "Give me a few days to think about it."
"good."
She had a fiancé and she didn't refuse him at all. Lao Tan was surprised. The words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Andy herself was also surprised. She didn't reject Lin Yue's suggestion to pretend to be his girlfriend to deceive outsiders. However, the question was quickly forgotten by her. She thought the answer was simple. It was all for business. , since it is fake, why should we reject it? As for Brother Wei... there is no reason for him to care.
…
Lin Yue did not go to Huaxin after leaving Shengxuan, but drove back to the Ode to Joy community. As soon as he entered the community gate, he saw Fan Shengmei's parents, Lei Lei, and Fan Shengying and his wife muttering next to the flower pond.
He lowered the window and said with a half-smile, "Here he comes."
When Fan Shengying saw Lin Yue, she quickly nodded and bowed to say hello.
"See you later." After saying this, he turned the steering wheel to the right and drove into the underground garage.
After parking the car, he went upstairs without taking the elevator. He took out the villain and a wooden box covered with tattered cotton clothes from the portable space, walked to the place where stray cats used to be fed, and moved an old cat and a litter of kittens. Enter the wooden box.
After putting some cat food in it and giving the old cat a few words, he took the villain to the downstairs of Apartment No. 19. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Fan's father and Fan's mother arguing with the property manager Xiao Zheng.
"You see, my daughter has called you, why don't you just let us go up? It's such a cold weather, the child will catch a cold."
"Auntie, this is the rule of our property. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the apartment without the access card or the owner's registration signature. If I really open this hole and be found out by the boss, I will lose my job. I'm sorry, I There's really no way to be accommodating. But if it's cold outside, then just wait in the hall with your child in your arms." Xiao Zheng said with a smile, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was pride in her eyes.
Lin Yue knew that Fan Shengmei always looked seductive and loved to show off brand-name bags, clothes, cosmetics, etc. It was normal for her to arouse the jealousy of the same sex. Moreover, she was too high-minded and looked down on the people in the real estate industry. It was easy for Xiao Zheng to find someone to ridicule and embarrass Fan Sheng. How could a beautiful opportunity be let go so easily.
The fashionable and beautiful lady Fan Damei has a pair of filthy parents. Oh, what an interesting thing.
Lin Yue walked over: "Xiao Zheng, what's going on?"
"Brother Lin is back, aren't you busy in class today?" As soon as he saw Lin Yue approaching, Xiao Zheng changed his face instantly, stood up from behind his desk, and greeted him warmly.
"Be lazy and go home to catch up on some sleep." Lin Yue turned to look at Fan's parents.
"They said they were the parents of 2202 Fan Shengmei. They came down without the access card and couldn't get in. I couldn't break the rules and let people go upstairs without permission. I could only advise them to wait here for a while."
"They are indeed Fan Shengmei's parents. We met last night. Let's do this. I'll bring them up first. If your manager asks, just say it was my idea."
"Brother Lin said so, okay then."
Seeing little Zheng relent, Fan's father and Fan's mother quickly came forward with their children in their arms to express their thanks.
Lin Yue took out a karaoke card from the system space and handed it over: "The customer gave it yesterday. I can only keep it expired in my hand. I'll give it to you. I can relax with friends and colleagues on the weekend."
"Brother Lin, I..."
"How can a karaoke card be regarded as a bribe by your property manager? If anyone dares to gossip, I will ask your boss to put on his shoes."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Then I'll keep it, thank you Brother Lin."
Lin Yue waved goodbye to her and walked into the elevator with Fan's father and Fan's mother.
"Mr. Lin, do you live here too?" As soon as he entered the car, Fan Ma came up to him, looked at him and asked.
"Yes, your daughter lives on the 22nd floor, and I live on the 21st floor."
"Then last night...you said you had a blind date with my daughter. What did you mean?"
Lin Yue remembered that he mentioned the blind date between the two of them when he was talking to Fan Shengmei last night: "Oh, two or three months ago, the website arranged a blind date for me, and the object was your daughter."
"Mr. Lin, such an outstanding person like you doesn't have a girlfriend yet?"
"No."
"Then..." Fan Ma pondered for a moment, then summoned up the courage to ask, "Can I ask about the result of your blind date with Xiaomei?"
