After getting in the car, Zhou Jianneng talked about his experiences in the past year, including good news and bad news.
The good news is that my son is finally married and his daughter-in-law is pregnant. Next year, he will be able to have his grandson or granddaughter, which is a worry that has been settled.
The bad news is that his family's company is about to collapse. He came here mainly to seek help. Most of the old friends are like him, bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy.
Nowadays, only Lao Zhang is rising against the trend, and his business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is almost envious of others.
Sure enough, the old saying goes: in the first thirty years, you should respect your father and your son, and in the next thirty years, you should respect your son and your father.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxin quickly asked: "Lao Zhou, what happened to Xinyu Electrical Appliances? Now that the temperature is so low, air conditioners should be sold very well?"
"Well, it's not like you don't know that our company specializes in portable small air conditioners. This thing consumes a lot of electricity and the heating effect is not good. Moreover, there are power outages everywhere right now, and the electricity bill is very expensive, so we can't sell it at all.
Besides, it’s useless even if it can be sold. Now the supply chain is completely broken and we can’t produce it even if we want to. I have gray hair in a hurry.”
Zhou Jianneng complained quickly.
Zhang Chongxin nodded and then asked:
"Don't you still have an electric blanket?"
Zhou Jianneng smiled bitterly: "Speaking of this, I would also like to thank Xiaohao. If I hadn't acquired your factory and raised a lot of money from the company's listing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive today."
"What happened again?"
"I want to shut down the air-conditioning production line and fully transform into electric blankets. Electric blankets are more popular than small air conditioners and are easier to produce."
Zhang Chongxin smiled slightly: "This is a good thing. After all, I founded Xinfeng Group. I am very happy to see it developing better and better."
"It would be great if it were so easy. The electric blanket is easy to deal with, but other parts cannot be solved. The most difficult thing is the resistor wire. It is particularly difficult to deal with. There is no supplier at all right now."
Zhou Jianneng sighed deeply.
"So serious?"
Zhang Chongxin said in surprise.
You know, resistance wire is not a complicated thing, and the production process is also very simple.
"Sigh, Laoshan can't be compared with Huicheng. Last year's snowstorm was so severe that a large number of factories collapsed. Except for people's livelihood industries, other factories have not recovered yet.
I also spent a lot of money and found various connections, and finally restarted the electric blanket production line. Now I am just short of parts."
"Well, then it's useless for you to ask me. I don't have any channels at my disposal?" Zhang Chongxin was full of doubts, and then suggested: "How about you see this, I will ask Xiaohao to help you inquire about Huicheng.
Can you find the resistor wire here?"
"Don't bother. Resistor wire is a popular product now. Even if we can find a supplier, the price will not come down, and it will be restricted."
Zhou Jianneng shook his head quickly.
"Oh? So what are your plans here?"
"Lao Zhang, let me tell you the truth. I have found a company in Laoshan that can produce resistance wires. I want to acquire the company and then merge the two companies to completely solve my worries."
Zhang Chongxin finally reacted: "Do you want to borrow money?"
"That's right." Zhou Jianneng nodded, "You should have heard of that company, it's the famous Haixing Group. They have a complete set of production lines, and the production of resistance wires is naturally a problem."
"Lao Zhou, I'm not telling you, you are using a cannon to fight mosquitoes. It's a bit too exaggerated. Can't you just buy some production equipment?"
"No, in fact, production equipment is easy to find. You can still find it by searching in the market. The key is raw materials. The supply of raw materials is currently tight, and only large companies can obtain procurement qualifications."
Zhang Chongxin frowned: "Can't Xinfeng Group do the same? In any case, it is the leader in the electric blanket production industry."
"Lao Zhang, you are an old man. In the past year, many electric blanket companies have appeared in the local area, especially in Huicheng. They seem to have mushroomed. Now Xinfeng Group can only barely rank in the middle.
There are only two ways in front of me now, one is to sell the factory at a low price, and then go home and retire with peace of mind; the other is to acquire Haixin Group, starting with electric blankets, and then gradually becoming bigger and stronger." "You are really ambitious."
Zhang Chongxin's face became a little serious.
"No matter how old he is, he can't compare to your Xiao Hao. I've heard all about his deeds. It's simply breathtaking. He is indeed better than his predecessor."
Zhou Jianneng paused and spoke again:
"Lao Zhang, I believe you have some understanding of the situation outside. Nowadays, all walks of life are undergoing a vigorous reshuffle. If you don't want to be eliminated, you can only choose to go against the current."
"This...how much money do you still lack?"
Zhang Chongxin tried to ask.
The two of them have been friends for many years, so it would be better if they could help. After all, Xiaohao’s start-up capital was raised by the other party.
Zhou Jianneng was shocked: "As long as 10 billion is enough, the rest can be solved by the bank."
"Ten billion? You really dare to think about it."
"Lao Zhang, please stop being modest. Xiao Hao is now worth hundreds of billions. For him, this amount of money is just a piece of cake."
"Hundreds of billions? Who are you listening to? Why don't I know?" Zhang Chongxin waved his hand and explained: "I won't hide it from you. Xiaohao recently invested in a huge project and filled most of the working capital.
Went in."
"Really or fake?"
Zhou Jianneng expressed serious doubts.
The two have been old friends for decades. No one knows who the other is. They are both old foxes.
"Have you ever heard of the Oriental Hyperloop?"
Zhang Chongxin has no nonsense.
Although Zhou Jianneng had heard of it, he had forgotten all the details, so he took out his mobile phone and checked online. The result surprised him.
"Is Xiaohao playing so high-end now?"
"What a high-end guy. He's just afraid of wolves and tigers. He finally saved some money, and he's afraid that the bosses will fight against the local tycoons, so he just finds a reason to spend it all."

Zhang Chongxin’s face became quite confused.
Zhou Jianneng felt bad for a moment: "Old Zhang, I'm really desperate now. For the sake of our decades of friendship, you must help me!
Otherwise, the 10 billion will not be counted as a loan, but will be directly counted as Xiaohao's investment. Each of our two families will hold half of the shares. What do you think?"
"No, no, isn't this taking advantage of the situation?"
Zhang Chong’s confidence is a little bit ready to shake.
If he could get Xinfeng Group back, he would certainly not refuse. The most important thing is that his son would definitely be able to get the 10 billion.
Although investing in "controllable nuclear fusion" is very expensive, it cannot be burned out in a short time. If you can spare part of it in time to invest in other businesses, it will definitely be considered a great event.
