Chapter 382: Touching Specific Issues
Two days later, after ten o'clock in the morning, a black car approached the gate of Changda Real Estate Company. Seeing that the car had a foreign license plate, the guard did not open the door immediately. Instead, he approached the car and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Isn't this Changda Real Estate Company? I'm looking for you, Mr. Guan." The glass of the right window automatically lowered, and the person sitting in the passenger seat replied.
"Looking for Mr. Guan? I'm sorry, he's not here to work today."
"He doesn't work here? In other words, does he have other offices?"
"This is Changda Real Estate Company. I guess he went to work at Changda Group today." The doorman replied.
"Oh, please tell me, master, how to get to Changda Group?"
According to the location and direction of the Changda Group told by the guard, about twenty minutes later, the black car drove into the gate of the Changda Group. After stopping in front of the Changda Building, the door opened, and a middle-aged man got out of the car.
He walked up a few steps and entered the building's automatic door. After notifying the security guard in the lobby, the security guard asked: "Have you made a reservation in advance?"
"There is no appointment, but we talked on the phone two days ago, and Mr. Guan knows that I will come to visit him in the next two days."
"Then you register, then take the elevator to the third floor. When you get out of the elevator, turn right and you will see the sign for the Chairman's Office."
From Changda Real Estate Company to Changda Group, and then looking at the Changda Building, Lao Chu realized that Changda Company was quite powerful. While he was thinking about it, the elevator reached the third floor and turned right when he came out. Sure enough, he saw the
The three offices are the name of the chairman's office.
When he walked to the door, Lao Chu raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times. A response of "Please come in" came from the room. He opened the door, leaned in most of his body, stood at the door and asked: "Excuse me, is this the door?"
Main office?”
"Yes, please come in! Who are you?" Guan Yuntian stood up.
Lao Chu walked into the room and said, "Mr. Guan, we talked on the phone two days ago. I'm Lao Chu from the provincial capital. I came here a little rashly and didn't notify you in advance. I'm sorry."
"It turns out to be Mr. Chu. We rarely come here! Please sit down." Guan Yuntian moved Old Chu to the sofa in front of the coffee table, and personally made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Old Chu.
"I didn't expect Mr. Guan to have two offices. We first went to Changda Real Estate Company. The guard said you would be working here today, so we ran over there."
"Hey, if I had known you were coming, I would have been waiting there." Guan Yuntian also sat down opposite Lao Chu.
"It's okay. I just happened to come here to see your company headquarters. It's an eye-opener."
"Mr. Chu, you are so polite. You are from the provincial capital and you are well-informed. How can you broaden your horizons when you come to our country? You are neither fish nor fowl. Please don't make fun of me, Mr. Chu."
"How dare you laugh? What can I do if you come from the provincial capital? I was chased everywhere and hid, haha!" Lao Chu smiled bitterly.
"What's going on? Who is chasing you?" Guan Yuntian pretended not to know and pretended to be very surprised. In fact, because the Haitian Business Center defaulted on material payments and wages for migrant workers, Lao Chu was being chased for debts and was hiding everywhere.
, he already knew it.
"You don't know yet, right? Hi! It's all because of this Haitian Business Center that I've become so disgraced that I'm no longer a human being inside and out. Now I don't dare to go home." Lao Chu shook his head.
"How could I know about the provincial capital? But even if there is something wrong with Haitian Business Center, doesn't it mean that it is a project invested by a listed company? You are only the legal representative of the project, and the project itself is not your asset.
What should I do? Just follow the legal procedures, how can it affect your daily life?" Guan Yuntian said.
"It should be like this, but those creditors and contractors don't care about anything, and I can't reason with them. But I understand their anxious mood. The migrant workers can't get their wages, and the life of the contractors is not easy.
But the project has been stopped now, and there is no capital injection. What can I do?" Lao Chu said with his hands in a pool.
"Yes, everyone has his own difficulties, and it's not easy for everyone." Guan Yuntian understood very well.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Guan. It's the first time we've come all this way to meet you. I just started complaining in front of you and forgot the purpose of our meeting."
"It doesn't matter. Although it was our first meeting, we felt like old friends at first sight. We had a rough talk on the phone two days ago, but we didn't touch on actual issues. You can first talk about the situation of Haitian Business Center." Guan Yuntian said.
Lao Chu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Let me briefly introduce the origin of this project. Haitian Business Center is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the listed company Fangyuan Holdings. The predecessor of Fangyuan Holdings is the relatively famous Fangyuan Machinery Factory in our province.
, a few years ago, in order to enhance the strength of Fangyuan Machinery Factory, the company was able to go public through policy support. Because there were no suitable projects with the funds raised in the capital market, the company management thought of using the land of Fangyuan Machinery Factory for commercial real estate development.
, so the original factory was moved to the industrial development zone in the provincial capital, and this project was built on the vacated land."
"In other words, the Haitian Business Center project is connected with the land?" Guan Yuntian asked.
"That's right. However, the framework of the project has just been established. Who knew that the sudden financial crisis six months ago caused a sudden change in the stock market. The originally planned stock market financing was greatly reduced, and the project's capital chain was broken. There was no other way, we had to
stop."
"Mr. Chu, what I don't quite understand is that since the parent company of the project is Fangyuan Holdings, why didn't Fangyuan Holdings help when the subsidiary was in danger?"
"I have said that Fangyuan Holdings is a machinery manufacturing company, but its products are general equipment. In recent years, except for high-end machinery and equipment such as CNC machine tools, which have higher profits and a better market, the ordinary machinery and equipment industry is completely fiercely competitive and profits are
Struggling to support itself in a meager and harsh environment, it is already very difficult for the parent company to support its own employees and continue to maintain itself, so how can it still have the energy to take care of its subsidiaries!" Lao Chu said frankly.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Chu also an employee of Fangyuan Holdings?"
"To be honest, Mr. Guan, I was originally the administrative deputy director of Fangyuan Machinery Factory. Fangyuan Holdings decided to develop commercial real estate, so I was sent to take charge of this project."
"Oh----, by the way, many senior executives of our Changda Group are also board members, and they have served as the main leaders of large state-owned enterprises before. Mr. Chu, based on what you mentioned earlier, it seems that Fangyuan
The controlling board of directors also agreed to reluctantly part with Haitian Business Center?"
"Of course I agree. This is the decision of the board of directors. Without their authorization, how could I dare to make my own decision?"
Guan Yuntian stood up, added some boiling water to Lao Chu's tea cup, then sat down and continued: "Well, besides debt pressure, are there any other reasons that prompted the Fangyuan Holdings board of directors to make this decision?"
"In a sense, the reason for debt is even secondary. The main reason is that the parent company Fangyuan Holdings has no funds to continue investing in the project. According to the previous budget, so far, less than 10% of the project investment has been completed despite full budget.
Sixty, in order for the project to be finally completed and put into operation, at least two hundred million will be invested, and the Fangyuan Holdings board of directors really can't think of where to get this money." Lao Chu said.
At noon, Guan Yuntian had a light meal with Lao Chu, "Mr. Chu, I have already prepared for you."
You and the driver have arranged a hotel. You will stay here today. You can rest for a while after lunch and we will continue talking in the afternoon. I will send the driver to pick you up at the hotel around two o'clock."
"I'm sorry to ask you to arrange a hotel. Let's go back. We'll be there in more than two hours."
"Are you anxious to return to the provincial capital? If there is nothing urgent, just stay here. We didn't drink at noon, so I'll have a few drinks with you in the evening."
Thinking of the unsolvable difficulties he would have to face when he returned to the provincial capital, Lao Chu wished he could live here for peace and quiet, so he followed the trend and said, "Okay, respect is worse than obeying orders, so thank you Mr. Guan!"
After two o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Yuntian sent a driver to take Lao Chu to Changda Building. The driver told him: "Mr. Chu, Mr. Guan is waiting for you in the conference room. I will take you there."
The driver took Lao Chu to the small conference room on the second floor, pushed the door open, and saw that besides Guan Yuntian, there was another person in the room. It turned out that Lao Ding, the financial director of Changda Group, also wanted to participate in the afternoon meeting.
After Guan Yuntian introduced the two parties to each other, the meeting got down to business again. Following the train of thought in the morning, he asked: "Mr. Chu, can you introduce the situation of the Haitian Business Center project? For example, the functions of the original plan,
Building area, budget situation, current situation, etc.”
"No problem. The construction area of this project is nearly 60,000 square meters. It was originally intended to be a large-scale business center integrating shopping, catering, and business hotels. The budgeted investment at that time was nearly 500 million, and the investment amount has now been completed. Close to 100%
60. Up to now, the project has been suspended for half a year. At present, the arrears of project payment and material fees are nearly 40 million, and nearly 10 million staff wages have not been settled."
"Mr. Chu, in people's minds, unfinished projects usually involve a lot of trouble. In addition to these, are there any other debts?" Lao Ding asked.
"Generally, unfinished projects are more troublesome, but this project is a bit special because all the funds invested came from the financing of its parent company in the capital market. Without a penny of loans, its debt relationship is much simpler. I just talked about
It includes all the debts involved in the project." Lao Chu said.
"Well, the debt relationship is indeed clear. If you want to transfer the project, of course you will transfer the project land together. Mr. Chu, I want to know, have you done an evaluation of the price of that land? Or do you estimate,
How much is the land price at that location approximately per acre?" Guan Yuntian said.
Old Chu frowned and said, "The price of land? Oops, we haven't done an evaluation, but for that location, I guess it's four to five million per acre."
"It doesn't matter. This is easy to handle. We can hire a third-party agency to conduct the evaluation when the time comes." Lao Ding interjected.
"Do we still need an appraisal? How to calculate the appraisal fee? As far as I know, the appraisal fee is based on the value of the appraised object. Calculated in that way, the appraisal fee is also a considerable expense. To be honest, we can't afford it now
This money." Lao Chu was making ugly remarks at the front.
"Mr. Chu, the project investments are all real, and there are financial accounts for inspection. However, the land price is neither the four or five million per mu you just mentioned, nor is it decided by us. In order to be fair to both parties, we can only
Ask a third-party agency to evaluate, even if it costs a small amount of evaluation fees, you will not hesitate. As for the source of the evaluation fees you mentioned, it is still based on the principle of fairness and justice, and both parties will share it equally. What do you think?" Guan Yuntiandao.
"The problem is that we can't get the money!"
"This is easier to do. Your portion of the evaluation fee will be paid by Changda Group in advance and will be deducted from the project transfer fee in the future."
