After driving all the way home, the sun was still scorching hot, and the villa's heat-resistant insulation renovation had a good effect. When we walked into the villa, the heat wave from the outside world was isolated, and a dull coolness hit us.
This 1,800-square-meter building has a two-story basement villa. The soft decoration was completed just a few days ago. Li Mu moved Liu Yue and Sun Yuan here.
Under the scorching sun, I walked around the school. I sweated a lot and my body was sticky. I took a simple shower and changed into fresh clothes. I just arrived at the second floor. Sun Yuan was holding a pot of tea.
come over.
"Sir, drink tea. It's too hot outside. I don't know when it will end."
Li Mu was indeed thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Yes! I don't know when this extreme weather will end."
…
I sighed a few words and chatted with Sun Yuan for a while. When it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, the weather suddenly turned cloudy and muggy, and soon it began to rain heavily.
Sun Yuan said happily: "It's raining, and the temperature should drop."
Li Mu smiled: "Yes! It's time to drop. I just don't know how many days the temperature can drop."
During the recent period, it rains heavily every once in a while, and then the temperature drops. However, the temperature drops for a very short time and will slowly rise soon.
Sun Yuan sighed and said: "It's already winter, and it's still as hot as summer. I don't know when the temperature will be the same, otherwise the seasons will be messed up."
Li Mu said: "This kind of thing cannot be interfered by human power. Let's take it step by step."
…
It wasn't until around 8 o'clock in the evening that the heavy rain gradually stopped. The continuous high temperature evaporated a large amount of water vapor on the surface. The rainfall was not exaggerated, and it did not cause major floods.
After the rain stopped, Li Mu walked out of the villa and felt the temperature outside. Liu Yue followed behind him and walked over with a temperature measuring gun.
"Sir, the temperature outside is now thirty-four degrees."
Li Mu nodded and looked at the dim night. The cooling effect of the heavy rain was getting smaller and smaller, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the high temperature apocalypse was getting closer and closer.
Think about it, the current high temperature is only 30 or 40 degrees, and the rain is so frequent. When the temperature rises to 50 or 60 degrees, the water evaporates faster, and more water vapor accumulates in the sky. How frequent will it be that there will be heavy rains?
Qin? How much more rain will there be than now?
High temperatures and flooding will have serious consequences.
Li Mu suddenly felt that it was time to do some early warning work. With such extreme and abnormal weather now, even if everyone doubts the authenticity of the early warning information, they will make some preparations in advance.
Similarly, although he has stocked up enough supplies and spent less than 2 billion in total, he still has nearly 2 billion in the company's account. In addition, with such a large net worth and no liabilities, in the eyes of the bank,
Proper high-quality assets. Through conventional financial means, you can easily obtain large amounts of funds.
In this case, if you have money and channels to get funds, it will be a big loss if you don't do something. In the future, coastal areas will be flooded. If you can buy some local materials, you can reduce some losses and reserve some for mankind.
vitality.
Seeing so much material damaged before his eyes, he felt very sorry.
After returning to the villa, Li Mu thought about it for a while and called Vice President Wang Qian.
"Boss, you are looking for me."
Li Muchao: "How is the recruitment going?"
Wang Qian said: "It's still in progress. We are carefully selecting according to your requirements and doing back-up reviews for everyone. It will take some time to complete the recruitment."
Li Mu said: "Yes, good! But on the basis of ensuring that Ning Que's mother is in trouble, we must also speed up the progress."
Wang Qian said: "I know, boss."
Li Mu said: "You can make more arrangements and help me make appointments with the heads of several major banks in the city tomorrow."
Wang Qian asked curiously: "Invite the heads of several major banks to see if the company is taking any action?"
Li Mu said: "You will know soon, don't forget to make arrangements."
Wang Qi could only suppress the curiosity in her heart and said: "Okay, boss, I will make arrangements right now."
Li Mu said: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
…
The next day, Li Mu met with the presidents of several major branches in Yun City to discuss loan matters.
In the past two years, the economy has not been very good. In order to stimulate economic growth, banks have inevitably released water and have accumulated a large number of credit lines.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find good loan targets. Rich companies do not want to lend, but poor companies cannot lend. Banks are afraid of becoming bad debts. In addition, the economy has begun to deflate, and major banks have also begun to lend out their money.
Worried.
However, it is not easy to find suitable lending targets. Under the current market conditions, there are not so many high-quality companies.
Under this circumstance, when they heard that Li Mu had the intention to lend money, several banks were very active, which made Muwu Group Company look really good.
The registered capital is 5.5 billion, all paid in. It owns a building worth 1.5 billion, goods worth nearly 2 billion, and cash of nearly 2 billion.
For such a large and powerful company, it doesn't even have a dime of debt, so it is definitely a very high-quality loan candidate.
In order to obtain more funds for this loan, Li Mu used Muwu Group Company as a bargaining chip and carried out the loan from two levels at the same time.
One level is to use Li Mu as the main body and use the shares of Muwu Group he holds as collateral to obtain loans from banks.
This is equivalent to borrowing money himself and using the shares he holds as collateral in the bank for a loan.
Another level is to use Muwu Group Company as the main body to provide loans.
The lender is Muwu Group, and the loan is in the name of the company, so it is naturally the company that borrows the money.
After contacting the heads of several major banks, Li Mu selected two banks to be responsible for loan matters at these two levels.
The bank responded quickly. For such a large loan scale, everyone from top to bottom attached great importance to it and promoted it very quickly.
First, Li Mu pledged all the equity he held in Muwu Group in his personal name and applied for a loan from the bank.
Muwu Group is a company established by Li Mu with an investment of 5.5 billion. Today, the company not only has nearly 2 billion in cash, but also has a headquarters building worth 1.5 billion and nearly 2 billion in supplies.
The shares of such a large group company are naturally valuable, so the bank gave Li Mu a quota of 4.5 billion, which is considered reasonable.
Of course, at other times, you may not be able to get such a high amount. In this era of great floods, banks cannot lend money and it is difficult to find high-quality loan candidates, so it is normal to give a high amount.
On the other hand, for loans made in the name of the company, the main body of the loan is Muwu Group. Although Muwu Group has a net asset of 5.5 billion and no debt, it looks very good.
However, compared with the loans made by Li Mu in his personal name, the group's equity was used as collateral. The loans made by the company as the main body did not have much collateral, and the only thing that could be used as a mortgage was the Muwu Building.
The loan amount given was correspondingly smaller, only three billion.
This has made Li Mu quite gratified. 4.5 billion, 3 billion, plus one yuan is up to 7.5 billion in funds. In addition, Muwu Group has nearly 2 billion in cash on its account, which is nearly 10 billion available.
The self-owned funds mobilized are enough to hoard a large amount of supplies.
Although the loan has not yet been received, Muwu Group still has nearly 2 billion in cash on its books, and some preparations can already be done.
…
On this day, a convoy of vehicles came to an area of unfinished buildings in the suburbs.
Director Qian introduced: "Mr. Li, please take a look. This place is only three kilometers away from your company's headquarters, Muwu Building. It is very convenient. It only takes a few minutes to drive."
Li Mu nodded: "It's indeed quite close."
"However, hasn't the main body of this unfinished building been built? Why is it abandoned again?"
Director Qian continued: "Mr. Li, the situation is like this."
"The area where this unfinished building is located is actually the economic development zone of Dongcheng District, Yun City. At that time, we attracted investment and introduced a large real estate company to develop this area, and planned to build it into an economic zone mainly composed of commercial office buildings and residential buildings.
.”
"Unfortunately, due to the excessive investment scale, the economy has declined in the past two years, and the real estate market has not been good. Major real estate companies have entered a cold winter, and many have even gone bankrupt."
"The developers of this unfinished building also did not survive. They went bankrupt and the development work was not carried out."
"The city has also made efforts in the past two years to restart this area. However, the real estate situation has been poor in the past two years and no suitable company can be found to take over."
Li Mu nodded: "So that's it!"
As he walked, he looked around and saw that this unfinished building was basically composed of office buildings and residential buildings. There were as many as seven or eight buildings, all with a height of more than 20 stories.
If you want to stock up on supplies, avoid being flooded, and with a little repair, it is an excellent place.
Director Qian saw Li Mu's expression and continued: "Mr. Li, the city is quite troubled by this unfinished building. I want to resolve the matter as soon as possible, and I will show the greatest sincerity."
"What the city means is that as long as you take over this unfinished building and start resuming work, the conditions are easy to negotiate. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them."
Li Mu looked at the unfinished building in front of him with a look of regret on his face: "I would like to take over, but my strength is limited. Let alone revitalizing this unfinished building, taking over such a large area of property would require a huge amount of funds.
, I am really powerless.”
Director Qian said: "Mr. Li, there is no need to worry about this. The city's intention is that the funds to take over this unfinished building do not need to be too much, as long as it is acceptable for the sake of appearance."
"If funds are tight, you can also pay in installments. You can pay some this year first. After the project is completed and the funds are recovered, it will not be too late to pay again."
Li Mu nodded hesitantly: "That's right, then we can consider taking over."
…
In the next two days, the city was very happy to see that Li Mu was really sincere. The burden was finally thrown off and the matter was pushed forward as quickly as possible.
Li Mu also didn't dare to waste time. The contract hadn't been signed yet, so he had already started looking for a suitable construction party.
It is about to be a hot and apocalyptic world. Naturally, he will not be building any office buildings or residential buildings. The main work of these seven or eight buildings has been completed. With a little modification and simple repairs, they will be seven or eight excellent above-ground warehouses.
Judging from the internal space of these buildings, storing tens to millions of tons of materials should not be a problem.
I discussed the specific construction plan with the construction party for a while. Although Li Mu's request was a bit strange, Party A's request and the price were so high, so we just had to build it according to the requirements.
After talking about the construction plan, Li Mu called in several teams to decorate the Muwu Building. They came to an office building with more than 20 floors, pointed and said: "The tenth and eleventh floors of this office building.
The twelfth floor, like the Muwu Building, has been completely insulated and renovated to prevent heatstroke."
"In addition, corresponding generators and solar panels must also be installed."
Several people quickly took out small notebooks and wrote down Li Mu's request.
Li Mu pointed to the eighth and ninth floors: "These two floors also need to be renovated, just like the greenhouse vegetable base of Muwu Building. However, vegetables are not grown here, and they will be turned into a breeding base."
"Nowadays, indoor breeding is also very popular, and some pigs are even raised upstairs. The two floors should be renovated to raise some chickens, ducks, geese, and even pigs and sheep...and laying hens. There is also a dedicated area for breeding."
Seeing his subordinates writing down the request, Li Mu continued to move forward.
Now that we have taken over this unfinished building, we must make good use of it. On the one hand, it can be used as a warehouse. On the other hand, materials that are not suitable for storage in the Muwu Building can also be specially placed here.
For example, oil, whether it is gasoline, diesel, or natural gas, is quite dangerous. Li Mu purchased so much. If it were all piled up in the Muwu Building and the weather was so hot, there would be no place to cry if something unexpected happened.
This unfinished building is a good storage spot. Choose one that is unoccupied and far away from other buildings to store some dangerous items. Even if there are some accidents, the consequences will not be too serious.
The same is true for breeding bases.
This is not to say that there is any danger in breeding in Muwu Building. The main purpose is breeding. Unlike planting, it has a greater impact on the environment and air.
If breeding is carried out in Muwuxia, there will be hygiene issues, among other things. The feces of so many animals, at such high temperatures, will create a pungent smell.
Li Mu will live upstairs for the next few years. Not to mention whether so many animals and feces will breed bacteria, he can't stand the strange smell coming up from downstairs.
For the sake of the nose, I originally didn’t plan to do this. Now that we have taken down the unfinished building and it won’t affect the Muwu Building, it’s not a bad idea to do it.
At the very least, you can eat fresh meat in the future instead of frozen meat. There are also eggs, milk, etc., which are not easy to store and cannot be stored for three years.
Get a group of dairy cows and you can drink fresh milk when you come back. Raise a group of laying hens and you can eat fresh eggs in the future.
In this way, things gradually progressed. There were some small episodes in the middle. Zhao Qing called a few days ago. He was busy negotiating at the time and could only refuse, which made Zhao Qing angry for a while.
It wasn't until Li Mu agreed to get together once in a while that he let it go.
