Chapter 225 On the way
Li Zaiyuan replied confidently: "Absolutely not, the money went out through formal channels, and the final destination of the money was Han's mother. In addition to the business on Hong Street, she also has two beauty salons. Although the scale is small, the business is good, so she also wants to expand the business. A few days ago, she also borrowed a long-term loan from the company, and the interest rate was very high, so it was very straightforward to help this time!"
"The 200 million will be returned in batches. If we can quickly acquire DcarModel and Han Jae-seok doesn't do anything radical, the money will be returned to the company in the form of investment. I will try my best to get this done within half a year. As for DcarModel, I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to acquire a lot of shares during this period!"
"And the place where we started was a legal casino in Jeju Island. Although Koreans theoretically won't go there, the law doesn't really prohibit it. Most people know that most people regard gambling as a bad habit, but the government hopes that more casino operators will increase employment and create tax revenue, thereby promoting economic development. Although some of this money will be lost in the middle, it is not too much compared to what we get. And except for me, no one else in the company is involved!"
Zheng Xiuheng thought about it calmly. As for the company's money, Zheng Xiuheng was not too sad because he had never thought of monopolizing it from the beginning. Besides, in addition to the portion that each person should take, the remaining money was also used for the development of the company. But Zheng Xiuheng was not sure whether these guys would do something tricky, especially since they directly put out 200 million this time.
However, after thinking for a moment, Zheng Xiuheng nodded again, as if he had figured it out. In fact, he did figure it out. No matter where the money went, there was no denying the fact that Han Jae-sik borrowed it. The only problem was that gambling in South Korea was illegal except in very few specific places. If Han Jae-sik insisted on arguing about fraud, and even put himself at risk, then there would be trouble.
But now after listening to Li Zaiyuan's words and thinking about it carefully, he felt much more relieved. Now the company's representative is no longer Zheng Xiuheng. Zheng Xiuheng only plays the role of an investor and boss. In name, he is not responsible for the operation of the company. However, in fact, all major matters have to be approved by Zheng Xiuheng. For example, the release of these two funds was agreed by Zheng Xiuheng.
Sometimes you need to avoid legal things, but sometimes you need to borrow money, just like now, although the money has been lent out, there is a debtor, even if it is used for gambling, it is his business, plus it happens to be a legally operated casino, the government's attitude towards these things is also vague, Han's mother has already paid the tax readily, there is basically no loophole.
"How many shares of DcarModel can we buy with 200 million?" Zheng Xiuheng thought about it and stopped worrying about the means, but asked another key question.
"If he fails to repay the debt within two months, we can get 25% of DcarModel's shares. I guess even if he asks his partners for help, there will be no way. Although DcarModel may be worth 3 billion, I don't think there will be much liquidity, and other actual resources will be more. Moreover, the other party may not necessarily help, and may even try to absorb his remaining shares!"
"How many shares does Han Jae-seok have? And what if the other party pays back the money?" Although Zheng Xiuheng didn't care about the company's funds, it didn't mean that he would just watch Li Jae-won and others squander their money. And now he really needed the strength of these guys.
In response to this question, Li Zaiyuan smiled and replied: "That guy holds 55% of the shares, and his 25% is mortgaged at the original value. But this is not shady, after all, the company is in a very awkward position. Well, there is no backing, although the relationship is good, but it still lacks practical things, such as too few popular models to show off!"
"It's hard to say. There's another car model named Lee Ji-woo who has a lot of activities and is very popular. I guess if it were another company to acquire him, they would only offer him 300 million at most, but we get paid quickly here. And I've gotten to know him quite well over this period of time, so even if he really pays us back, we won't suffer any loss. And, I'm not saying it's 100%, but I'm 70% sure that he can't pay it back!"
"Why?" Zheng Xiuheng asked curiously with interest.
"Because in addition to owing us money, that guy also owed a loan shark in a real underground casino. Although it was only 80 million, those people are ruthless, just like another company in Sanlong Cave. Last year, both sides were arrested for investigation. In the end, we were released, but they were sentenced. So whether we can get more shares depends on whether the loan sharks are willing to give. In addition, even if we can't get absolute controlling rights, 25% will give us a certain say, and we can contact models secretly. In the end, there will always be people interested in these shares. After the shares are sold, we can also take away a group of models and build another new company. This way, we can make at least 200 million."
After Li Zaiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Xiuheng with confidence, but after a while, he was a little scared by Zheng Xiuheng's strange eyes. To be honest, Zheng Xiuheng beat him too hard that time, and seeing Zheng Xiuheng suddenly looking at him like this, he was a little nervous. Especially during this period, Zheng Xiuheng looked quite cheerful and smiled at him, but in the eyes of others, Zheng Xiuheng's smile was a devil's smile, just like the purpose of coming to the company every day, everyone thought it was to review the work situation, every time Zheng Xiuheng walked in, those people worked very hard.
Of course the most important reason is that Zheng Xiuheng had been praised to the point of being a god by Jin Guanglu for his performance in the Suwon battle. Although Lin Zaiyou and others did not see the entire process, they still gathered around after the gunshot and saw the scene inside from outside the door. Although they only saw that everyone except Zheng Xiuheng fell in the dojo, they did not doubt Jin Guanglu's words. After all, Zheng Xiuheng was indeed shot in the arm, but the bullet was stuck in the muscle.
So, these past few days, Zheng Xiuheng has been wondering why these guys look at him like a mouse looking at a cat, and why they work so hard. He wonders what's wrong with them.
However, no matter what, this strange company has gradually developed some cohesion. Even if it can be said that it is built up by money, stable jobs and actual benefits, it cannot be denied that Zheng Xiuheng has completely integrated this group of scattered people.
"What did you do before? You look like you were in business. Logically, your level should be enough for a normal white-collar worker or even a section chief in a medium-sized enterprise, right?" Zheng Xiuheng suddenly became curious about Li Zaiyuan. This guy was a little unfamiliar at first, but since these guys wanted to run a magazine, it was like a different person, which made Zheng Xiuheng a little curious.
Li Zaiyuan's face changed, he reached out to adjust his glasses, and then said in a deep voice: "My family used to do business!"
"Oh, okay, let's not talk about this. Is there anything else? If not, I'm ready to leave!" Zheng Xiuheng looked at him and thought he had some tragic history. However, in a place like Sanlong Cave, few people have complete families, so Zheng Xiuheng didn't want to ask any more.
Li Zaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking about this topic. He was originally going to say that there was nothing else to say, but suddenly he remembered something and said, "The payment from Li Dahao is coming due soon, but that guy really can't pay it back, and his girlfriend broke up with him a few days ago. I'm afraid he won't be able to pay that much money by then!"
Zheng Xiuheng was a little surprised by this. He heard that this amount of money was simply for an actress named Li Yuli, an actress who was hovering in the second tier but whose acting skills were highly recognized.
The reason for releasing this amount of money was that Zheng Qilong had taken a fancy to someone and wanted to play with her, so he started with Lee Yoo-ri's boyfriend. Anyway, there was no fear of not getting the money back, after all, his family also had real estate, but as long as the arrangement was proper, it would not be too difficult to play with an actress, and after playing with her, he could also arrange it in his plan to control the little star to the club.
But unfortunately, Zheng Qilong is dead. Even if he wasn’t dead, he probably wouldn’t have expected that the person he planned to date would break up like this.
"Broken up?" Zheng Xiuheng asked curiously, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Zaiyuan nodded and explained, "Well, I've been following that guy for a while, but he and Li Yuli have only met a few times. One is busy filming, and Li Dahao is hanging out with his friends besides work. It seems that their relationship is not what Zheng Qilong thought!"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded , not really caring: "It doesn't matter, as long as the money is collected, after all, Zheng Qilong is dead. That's all for today, I may not come over these few days, remember to call me if there is anything. The work here, as always, don't overdo it!"
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng is very satisfied at the moment, because no matter from which perspective, the company is on the right track.
“Boom boom!”
"Come in!"
"Boss, Representative Li, we have business coming to our door. It's a business worth 50 million!" Lin Chengyan opened the door and walked in with forms and information. His tone sounded a little strange.
Zheng Xiuheng took the information and took a look at it. The applicant was a 50-year- old middle-aged man with an independent property. The loan was mainly used for the medical expenses of his daughter's uterine cancer.
South Korea has a universal health insurance system, and the reimbursement rate for some minor illnesses and daily diseases is still very high, but major diseases are not covered enough. Cancer or other chronic and concurrent diseases require a lot of additional diagnosis, which are not covered by NHIC (National Health Insurance Corporation). These require purchasing private insurance, but most Koreans do not do this.
Moreover, in Korea, any disease that is even slightly serious will cost a lot of money, so many people are complaining about the medical system. But in fact, among capitalist countries, Korea is doing quite well, but even so, there are still a large number of seriously ill patients who go home and wait to die because they cannot afford the high cost of treatment, and the government has not taken any measures, so the public's dissatisfaction has been accumulating.
Zheng Xiuheng reviewed the information carefully and found no major problems. The company often sees this type of loan application, which is usually very urgent. As long as it meets the company's loan requirements, it will generally be approved.
Of course, repaying a loan doesn't mean you have to take back someone else's house if you really don't have the money. Sometimes there are concessions, where you pay back part of the loan first and then collect the rest at a higher interest rate after one or two months. Unless Zheng Xiuheng deliberately lends the money out, he won't come to someone else's house when the time comes.
