Chapter 1091 The so-called gambling agreement
Shi Lei no longer talked to Kong Yue any more. Since there was a deviation in what he thought before, he would just wait until he saw Kong Fandong.
The car stopped quickly, and Kong Yue got out first.
When Shi Lei got off the bus, he paid attention to the surrounding environment. This is a park. It is probably a safe haven created by the Chuncheng government to attract investment. If you set up a company or research institute here, you can enjoy dual policy and tax benefits. Some even save you a lot of money on your office space, and at least you will be exempted from property fees.
This park model was very marketable more than ten or twenty years ago. At that time, there were a lot of small enterprises starting businesses, mainly in the IT industry, and there were many Internet companies that are now well-known and large in scale. However, with the bursting of the Internet bubble, the situation of such parks was not so popular. Enterprise parks that were too small were not favored, and large enterprises were unwilling to fall here, which was very embarrassing.
Shi Lei looked around and smiled and said to Kong Yue: "Your father is quite supportive of the government's work."
Kong Yue understood what he meant and shook his head and said, "This development zone is not what you think. It is only for scientific research enterprises or research institutes. The government is supporting private scientific research."
Shi Lei nodded and followed Kong Yue into a small yard on his right hand.
This yard covers an area of about four or five acres, with only a three-story house inside. The sign "Kong's New Energy Research Institute" is hung in front of the gate.
As soon as he entered the door, Shi Lei saw Kong Fandong. Kong Fandong smiled and greeted him loudly, "Welcome Mr. Shi to come to guide."
Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "Mr. Kong was joking. What can I guide me? I am here to learn."
Kong Fandong heard the meaning of a pun in Shi Lei's words. What Shi Lei said before was that the little fox met an old fox? It was obvious that the little fox of course had to learn from the old fox.
"Haha, Mr. Shi is really humorous. So let's go in and talk."
"I thought Mr. Kong had asked me here to come here because he wanted to take me to visit."
"To be honest, Mr. Shi, my research institute is short of funds now, and the R&D personnel have not had a vacation for a long time. I used the last funds in my account to arrange for them to go on vacation by the beach, so there is no one here except you and me."
Shi Lei nodded and walked in with Kong Fandong.
After sitting down, Kong Yue went to pour water for Shi Lei and placed it in front of him.
Kong Yue said: "My mission has been completed, so I'll take a step first. You have a good talk with my dad and stop scolding him. Otherwise, there will be something good to you!"
"Your attitude seems to be a little bad to treat your life-savior, right?" Shi Lei raised his head and said with a smile.
Kong Yue's eyes suddenly widened. It was obvious that she did not tell Kong Fandong about what happened to her in Yulong.
Kong Fandong saw that something was wrong and asked, "Oh, Mr. Shi saved his little girl's life? Kong Yue, why haven't you heard of it?"
Kong Yue glared at Shi Lei again, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "It's not a big deal. Anyway, I've solved it, so I won't tell you."
"Do you want to tell me now?"
When Kong Yue saw Kong Fandong's expression, he knew something was wrong. He quickly waved his hand and said, "You two should talk. What do you want to know? Just ask Shi Lei. I have something to do, so let's go first."
"What's wrong with you?" Kong Fandong was very unhappy.
"Shi Lei is here, of course I have to check our inventory. He was still calculating about investment in the car just now. You said that he is a person worth more than 10 billion yuan and is really boring to care about tens of millions of things with me. But there is no way. Whoever asks them to be stronger, I can only count the inventory obediently."
Kong Fandong glanced at Shi Lei and finally said, "Okay, you go first. Remember to come over at dinner time and accompany me to treat Mr. Shi to dinner."
Kong Yue waved his hand and hurriedly slipped away.
Kong Fandong asked Shi Lei with a smile: "Mr. Shi, can you tell the little girl what happened? Is it in Yulong?"
Shi Lei thought about it and told the story as simplified as possible. After hearing this, Kong Fandong immediately raised his eyebrows, slapped the armrest of the sofa and said angrily: "Mo Bingwen is really too bullying..."
Shi Lei quickly waved his hand and said, "Mo Bingwen is unaware of this. He is still in Wu Dong. Mo Bingzhong must be responsible for this matter, but to be honest, it is common for their families to act recklessly outside. Moreover, I have solved this matter. Kong Yue didn't tell Mr. Kong, maybe he was afraid that you would be angry. Moreover, I think Mr. Kong's top priority now is to solve the problem here."
Kong Fandong drank a big sip of water in anger, and finally suppressed his anger: "I will settle the score with them sooner or later. They have bullied Kong Yuetou."
Shi Lei gave Kong Fandong some time to calm him down, and then asked: "Mr. Kong, let's get to the point as soon as possible."
Kong Fandong then shook his head slowly, sighed, and said, "This research institute is my sole proprietorship. All the R&D funds are my personal investment. However, the investment is too large, and I didn't expect that the final R&D has not been completed until now, which leads to insufficient funds..."
Shi Lei nodded and said, "Just in the car just now, I heard Kong Yue say that this research institute is run by you wholly owned by you and you own all the shares. This means that if I invest in your project, I can only invest in this research institute, not in Kong's Group. However, this research institute has a bet agreement with Kong's Group, which I can't understand."
Kong Fandong sighed and said, "That's right. At the beginning, I wanted to put this research institute directly under the name of Kong's Group. I am very optimistic about the future of this research institute and I never thought of monopolizing it. However, due to the confidentiality of the project, I only know the content of the research institute's research and development, and other shareholders refused to agree. They believed that it was enough for Kong's Group to maintain its current momentum. In desperation, I could only operate it myself."
Shi Lei remained silent and waited for Kong Fandong to continue speaking.
"But later, all the funds I had invested in this project, but it was still not enough, and it was far from enough. From my heart, even if I demolished the house and sold the land, even if I lost all my money, I would be willing to bet on this project. However, humans are social animals after all, and even if I don't consider myself, I have to consider Kong Yue and her mother. So, I used my fixed assets at home to mortgage the Kong Group and collected a batch of interest-free loans. The shareholders had a lot of opinions on this, but they also saw my determination for this project."
Speaking of this, a desolate aura appeared on Kong Fandong's body.
"But let them invest, they also understand that this research and development is far away, and it is probably a bottomless pit. So, they asked that my loan must be paid off within two years. Of course, even if it expires, they would not really drive my wife and my daughter out of where we live, but they asked me to use the shares of Kong Group to repay the loan. Moreover, it is calculated based on the share price of our Kong Group when the loan was made. Now, the money has been borrowed for more than a year and is still eight months away from maturity. Not to mention that I have no funds, the share price of Kong Group has also risen by 60%. Mr. Shi, I think you should understand the crux of this."
