Chapter 275 The capital chain is broken and the situation is worrying
Donghai Conservatory of Music, the rehearsal of the First Symphony Orchestra has ended.
Lu Xiang'er changed her clothes, came out of the dressing room, and prepared to go home with her violin on her back.
Outside the corridor, Chen Wenhan leaned against the wall and said loudly: "Next week, the orchestra will compete for the Olympic opening ceremony performance. You don't have to come."
When Lu Xiang'er heard this, her head was filled with questions. She blinked, pointed to her nose and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Otherwise?" Chen Wenhan twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"The teacher didn't inform me about this." Lu Xiang'er still didn't understand what he meant by what he just said.
Next week is the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra's performance at the Olympic opening ceremony. If it performs well, it will have the opportunity to perform at the Olympic opening ceremony.
This performance opportunity is an honor.
After Lu Xiang'er won the championship of the Paganini International Violin Competition, she was selected into the First Symphony Orchestra of Dongyin and rose to the first violin section.
Even when the orchestra plays the violin concerto, Lu Xiang'er often plays the lead instrument.
From the beginning of the Paganini Competition, Lu Xiang'er surpassed Chen Wenhan in every aspect in the symphony orchestra.
This Olympic opening ceremony campaign performance is very important.
As long as you can stand out in performances, you can hope to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. This honor is very important to the Chen family.
Chen Wenhan has been competing for the lead instrument seat in the performance, but Lu Xiang'er is blocking him in front of him, which makes him uncomfortable.
…
When Lu Xiang'er heard that Chen Wenhan asked her not to participate in the Olympic opening ceremony campaign performance next week, she subconsciously thought that the teacher had some new arrangements.
Chen Wenhan curled his lips and said jokingly: "There is no need for the teacher to inform you. I will inform you now that you will not come next week."
Lu Xiang'er frowned and asked, "Why?"
Generally speaking, when a symphony orchestra performs, there are hundreds of musicians.
With so many people, it is inevitable that someone will be in trouble and unable to perform.
Therefore, the symphony orchestra will have an alternative plan. If the first violinist cannot attend, there will be other violinists to take over.
In other words, if Lu Xiang'er did not appear during the Olympic Games opening ceremony, then Chen Wenhan would be the main instrument that day and perform on the highest stage of the opening ceremony.
Chen Wenhan sneered: "No matter what, you have to do whatever I say."
"baffling."
Lu Xiang'er replied to him with a straight face and prepared to leave.
Chen Wenhan's eyes turned cold and he snorted: "Your father is bankrupt and you still dare to talk to me like this. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You will have to come and beg me soon."
When Lu Xiang'er heard this, she became even more confused. She turned back to look at him with a frown and asked, "What do you mean?"
"If you really want to perform at the exhibition, it's not impossible..." Chen Wenhan said, reaching out to pick Lu Xiang'er's chin.
Lu Xiang'er's eyes widened, she raised her hand to open his hand, and cursed: "Crazy!"
Then he quickly ran out of the teaching building.
…
On the way home, the more Lu Xiang'er thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
She heard clearly just now that Chen Wenhan said that her father's company was bankrupt.
But I had never heard this matter mentioned in my family before.
However, if this had not happened, why would Chen Wenhan suddenly say this?
This is not logical no matter how you think about it.
Lu Xiang'er quickly returned home, opened the hall door, and shouted: "Mom..."
Mother Lu was originally sitting on the sofa, holding her head with her right hand.
When she heard her daughter coming back, she quickly stood up and said, "You're back, wash your hands first and get ready for dinner."
There seemed to be nothing abnormal, but Lu Xiang'er always felt that her mother's mood was not right.
She asked seemingly casually: "When will dad come back?"
Mother Lu hesitated for a moment before replying: "Your dad is on a business trip and won't be able to come back for dinner these days."
The food is still very rich.
While eating, Lu Xiang'er continued to probe: "Why is Dad so busy recently? Is it because the company has too many things?"
Mother Lu nodded and replied: "Yes, I have been very busy recently. Don't you know that the company is going to upgrade its industry and has ordered a new production line and a new factory building. Can you not be busy?"
Lu Xiang'er rolled his eyes and asked again: "Isn't it true that things like building factories are outsourced to construction companies? And there are so many people in the company, even if it's a supervisor, dad doesn't need to go there himself."
Mother Lu said with a straight face: "Why do you talk so much today? After dinner, go practice the piano quickly."
"oh."
Lu Xiang'er was taught a lesson and had no choice but to curl her lips and go upstairs to practice the piano after dinner.
But, how can I be in the mood to practice the piano when I have something on my mind?
She thought for a while, opened her laptop, entered the words "Dachuan Audio" in the search bar of the browser, and pressed the Enter key.
Then, a lot of search results came out.
Dachuan Audio is considered a long-established enterprise.
In the early years, when Lu's father was doing business in Hong Kong, he sold CDs and tapes and opened a video store.
Later, I returned to Donghai and started working as an agent for a DVD manufacturer.
After working for two years, I took over another factory and started to produce DVD players by myself.
At that time, DVDs were becoming popular, and Father Lu did make some money.
Later, the business grew bigger and bigger.
However, the DVD era did not last long.
Lu's father transformed the factory to produce more audio-visual products, including headphones, stereos, MP3s, and various audio-visual consumables. He also manufactured accessories such as chargers for big brands.
Along the way from the DVD era, Lu's father has made timely transformation every time and has not been eliminated by the times, so he has managed the company to the present.
However, this era is already the era of finance and real estate.
Finance prospers the country, but industry harms the country.
Although there is a joke that is meant to be a joke, it is actually ironic.
Dachuan Audio once again reached a time when it needed to upgrade its industry. Lu Jianchuan wanted to enter the mid-to-high-end market and create his own brand.
Continuing to do OEM work is never a long-term solution.
Especially now, many big brands have begun to move their foundries to small countries in Southeast Asia.
If we don't do something now, we will definitely be eliminated by the times.
Therefore, Mr. Lu decided to order a production line and enter the mid-to-high-end market.
However, the funding gap is relatively large, so financing is needed.
…
Lu Xiang'er knew more or less about things about her family's company.
However, her parents never let her get involved in the company's affairs and asked her to concentrate on school.
Lu Xiang'er also remained carefree until she was in her twenties. She was well protected and had almost never seen the dangers of society.
After searching for "Dachuan Audio", she quickly scanned it.
When searching for content such as encyclopedias, she basically knew everything, and she didn’t even click on it after just a quick glance.
Continue to scroll down and see the information content.
One of them is that Dachuan Audio seeks industrial upgrading, adapts to the development of the times, and completes financing with a number of investment companies such as Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital.
Lu Xiang'er had heard about the financing for her family's company before.
When a company develops to a certain level, financing is a normal thing.
Especially when it comes to industrial upgrading, more funds are needed.
Therefore, there is no problem with financing itself.
Lu Xiang'er has never paid attention to this matter and does not know which company invested in her father.
Now I see the information written on it is "Pengcheng Capital" and "Dingsheng Capital".
Lu Xiang'er suddenly felt a bad feeling in her heart.
Lu Xiang'er had never heard of the name "Dingsheng Capital", so she didn't know its background.
However, Lu Xiang'er had heard of the name "Pengcheng Capital", and it seemed to be the company owned by Chen Wenhan's family.
I vaguely remember that Chen Wenhan once mentioned the name of this company in school, but he was not very sure.
Lu Xiang'er quickly searched for "Pengcheng Capital" with her eyes and saw the share structure. The largest shareholder was "Chen Xingye".
In addition, the top four shareholders with the largest shareholding share are all named Chen.
The answer is already obvious.
Lu Xiang'er hurried downstairs and asked her mother urgently: "Is there something wrong with dad's financing?"
Mother Lu frowned and said angrily: "Business matters are not your responsibility as a child. Go upstairs and practice the piano."
"Is the company you invest in called 'Pengcheng Capital'? Is it the Chen family's company?" Lu Xiang'er asked eagerly.
"You don't need to worry about the company's affairs. Just go to school." Mother Lu said seriously.
"No, Mom, I'm worried that something will happen to the company. Call Dad quickly and tell Dad that Pengcheng Capital is unreliable and we can't completely trust them."
Lu Xiang'er still had some illusions in her heart. If Pengcheng Capital hadn't done anything bad yet, there might still be a chance to save it.
When Mother Lu heard this, her expression finally became unbearable: "It's too late, Pengcheng Capital has withdrawn its capital, and now your father is looking for other financing methods everywhere."
When Lu Xiang'er heard this, she knew that something had happened. No wonder Chen Wenhan said that his company was going bankrupt.
Her brain shut down for a few seconds and she quickly asked: "How is the situation now? Can other financing methods be found?"
Mother Lu took a deep breath, forced herself to remain calm, and said, "Xiao Xiang, don't worry, my parents will take care of the company's affairs.
"Maybe in two days, mom will have to go out. When you are at home alone, you have to take care of yourself, or go and stay with Ning Xiaoyun for a few days."
When Lu Xiang'er heard this, she knew the situation was very bad.
If it hadn't been for a very bad situation, it would have been impossible for my mother to abandon herself and go out to raise funds.
Lu Xiang'er took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, reached out and grabbed her mother's wrist, pulled her to sit down, and pretended to be an adult and said: "Mom, I have grown up, you should tell me what is going on at home, and we can find a solution together.
"
Mother Lu looked into her daughter's eyes, sighed after a long time, and said, "Yes, you are now so old in a blink of an eye. I can tell you things, but you have to ensure that everything is focused on academics."
Lu Xiang'er nodded vigorously: "Okay, I promise."
Mother Lu then briefly explained the matter: "Your father wanted to upgrade the industry, so he ordered a production line from abroad.
“But we didn’t have enough funds, so we looked for financing from an investment company.
“At the beginning, the negotiations were very good and the first funding was received.
"Your dad ordered the production line and started building the factory.
“Everything was going smoothly, but for some reason, Pengcheng Capital suddenly withdrew its investment a few days ago.
"Your dad suddenly discovered that there was a trap in the financing contract, and the investor could withdraw capital unconditionally.
"As a result, our company's capital chain will be broken.
"There is no way. Your dad has been running to other investment companies these days, hoping to find new financing methods."
When Lu Xiang'er heard this, she frowned and asked, "Is it because I robbed Chen Wenhan of the championship that their family deliberately punished us?"
Mother Lu frowned and slowly shook her head: "Probably not. In fact, we have been talking about financing for more than half a year. The process is still very smooth. Who knew that something like this would happen suddenly. Besides, winning the competition championship should not be something like this.
It affects financing."
Lu Xiang'er thought about it and felt it was unreasonable.
Although the relationship between myself and Chen Wenhan is not very good, it should not become a conflict between the two companies.
Lu Xiang'er continued to ask: "Then why did Pengcheng Capital withdraw its investment? There must be a reason."
Mother Lu nodded and replied: "I heard that Pengcheng Capital lost a lot of money on a project not long ago. There was also a problem with the funds. There was no follow-up financing. In order to stop the loss, I chose to withdraw the investment."
"What project lost money? Can it lose so much?"
Lu Xiang'er didn't know that Pengcheng Capital spent money to compete in the finals of "Sing Out Loud".
This kind of capital operation behind the scenes will not be exposed to the public, so ordinary viewers will not know it.
Mother Lu heard some inside information and said, "I heard that it was related to "Singing Out Loud" and that Tan Zhiguan's company was losing money."
Lu Xiang'er knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.
There are a lot of gossips about the finals of "Sing Out Loud" on the Internet. Various rumors are flying all over the sky, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.
However, as Fang Xing's girlfriend, Lu Xiang'er is naturally on Fang Xing's side.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, she selectively believed in Fang Xing's favorable remarks, thinking that Mailin Records spent money to promote the charts, but in the end they failed to win.
Lu Xiang'er quickly asked: "Is Mailin Records also invested by the Chen family?"
Mother Lu nodded and said, "Yes, this record company is owned by Pengcheng Capital Holdings."
Lu Xiang'er felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, but she couldn't express her inner thoughts.
She suspected that the Chen family and Fang Xing lost money while playing in the ring, and in order to vent their anger, they deliberately destroyed her father's company.
Lu Xiang'er thinks this is very likely, but there is no evidence.
But.
Lu's father's financing has been planned for a year, and he has been negotiating with Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital for more than half a year.
Is it possible to withdraw capital at this time just to vent your anger?
Lu Xiang'er hurriedly asked: "Can dad still find a way to raise funds?"
Mother Lu was silent for a while and then replied: "It's hard to say, I can only try to find it."
It is said that we try our best to find it, but it actually means that it is very difficult.
Lu Xiang'er thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you sell the house in my name first and use the money to pay for it for a while."
Mother Lu raised her eyebrows and stopped her sternly: "Absolutely not! That house is in your name. Even if our company goes bankrupt and liquidates, the liquidation will not be transferred to that house.
"No matter what happens in the future, with that house, at least your life and studies will not be affected, so that house must not be moved!
"Besides, it won't be enough even if you sell it. The gap is huge and cannot be solved by one house."
