The 3.5 billion yuan converted into euros is 400 million euros. 400 million euros is a lot less. Not to mention other things, at least as far as Chen Ran knows, the Lin family has never spent so much money to participate in the past.
Myanmar's public offering only raised more than 300 million at most.
To say it is less, to say more is not much. The fact that the old man of the Lin family has not done so much does not mean that other companies have not done so much. Jin Yuxuan is at most a middle-class jewelry company in the industry, and those
Naturally, large jewelry companies cannot compare.
And now it’s not just domestic jewelry companies that are eyeing the jade market. Many of those foreign jewelry companies, which seem inconspicuous, often spend billions of euros during the public sale. Now there are even rumors that there are many more.
Capital giants have also come to this industry to raid operations.
If it were before, Chen Ran would have been satisfied with so much money, but he learned from Wu Laosan that the Wu family already knew about his existence, and then learned from Chief Yang that the Wu family was investigating him.
After that, he was no longer satisfied with this small amount of funds.
He knows very well that there is not much time left for him. The Wu family is currently investigating him, so there is nothing happening yet. Xiaoyu will definitely have returned to the country by the time he returns from Myanmar, and there will undoubtedly be a complete showdown between him and the Wu family.
At that time, when he had a showdown with the Wu family, he also had a showdown with the prince at the same time...
Naturally, there was nothing to talk about with the prince, but with the Wu family... Chen Ran not only thought about the worst outcome, but also thought about the best outcome. The worst outcome would undoubtedly be a complete falling out with the Wu family or even the Wu family.
Chen Ran would rather sever ties with Xiaoyu than accept him. Chen Ran also thought about it.
The best result is undoubtedly that the Wu family has no choice but to accept it when Xiaoyu is resolute.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the most important thing in this matter is Xiaoyu's resolute attitude. As long as Xiaoyu is resolute, the Wu family has no choice at all. So what if they fall out and sever ties for a while, they have to accept it in the end. Even if they don't accept it, then
Only default.
Of course, besides Xiaoyu's firm attitude, the most important thing is that he must be able to protect himself from the Wu family's attacks.
Chen Ran is still confident at this point, and what Chen Ran needs to do after protecting himself is undoubtedly to use his abilities to impress the Wu family. The Wu family has no choice but to see his abilities and future achievements, and they will naturally slow down.
I slowly accepted him.
Chen Ran also has what he should have in other aspects. What he lacks now is wealth. If he can earn a large amount of property in a short period of time, it will undoubtedly give him a lot of points. Although his so-called large amount of wealth is in Wu
It may not be much in the eyes of the Wu family, but it allows the Wu family to see his ability in this area...
And the more wealth he can earn, the more the Wu family will undoubtedly value him...
Of course, Chen Ran's deliberate attempt to impress the Wu family was not because he was interested in the power of the Wu family and wanted to cling to the Wu family. He just wanted the Wu family to accept him and Xiaoyu like ordinary family members. The power of the Wu family and so on.
He doesn't care at all.
…
At the same time, on the other hand, the more spacious Chen Ran is, the more calmly he can face the showdown with the Wu family and the prince.
So after thinking about this, Chen Ran's idea of "collecting as much as he could" became to collect as much as possible, and borrowing if he couldn't.
Chen Ran thought about it carefully. It would take several months from the time he participated in the auction to getting the wool, then transporting the wool to the capital, then turning the wool into materials and finally turning it into products for sale. But this is the jade he cut out of the wool.
If they are all used in his own jewelry store, he can actually transport the wool back to the capital and cut it up and then sell part of the raw materials, so that he can get back part of the funds in a short period of time.
Although he will lose some profits by doing so, what does the profit mean when he plays stone gambling and it is a no-cost transaction? And it is nothing compared to the profit he can get in exchange for more capital.
In this case, Chen Ran first borrowed another two billion yuan from the bank. However, the two billion yuan was different from the previous loan the company owed the bank, because the two billion loan was provided by the bank.
Short-term loans provided by businesses to provide working capital.
In other words, the two billion loan must be returned to the bank within a certain period of time. Chen Ran didn't know much about the bank's business, so if he thought about it on his own, he would naturally not think of a bank loan.
In fact, this loan was approached by the bank on its own initiative. Chen Ran was able to hide Jin Yuxuan's change of owner from the people in the company, but he could not hide it from the people at the bank. However, because of Fourth Uncle He's greeting, the bank only restricted its top leaders.
Knowing this, the person who approached Chen Ran was also the head of the bank. The other party approached Chen Ran and asked if Chen Ran needed a loan...
At that time, Chen Ran was a little strange when he heard about it. First, his company already had so many loans and it was said that it could no longer get another loan. Second, except for the bank loan, the rest of the company he acquired was cash and the account had sufficient funds. How could the other party do this?
Ask him if he wants a loan.
When I asked about it later, they said, isn’t this the time to participate in the Myanmar Grand Public Offering? This is the time when any jewelry company needs funds, and almost all jewelry companies participate in the Grand Public Offering.
Provided by the bank.
Of course, how much money you can get from a bank depends on the strength and credit worthiness of the other company.
The other party also privately revealed to Chen Ran how much money several large jewelry companies in Beijing had taken from the bank to participate in the public sale. For example, Dai Mengde Jewelry Company, one of the four major jewelry companies in Beijing, took all the money from the bank in one go.
Received a loan of 5 billion.
Chen Ran would be lying if he said he wasn't moved after hearing this, but he still didn't give a definite answer at that time. He just asked him to think about it. The reason for this was because he didn't want to leave any excuse for others. You know, he
There will be a showdown with the Wu family and the prince soon. If there is any evidence left in this regard, his jewelry company will definitely be finished... and even he himself will be affected.
Chen Ran has often heard that someone was pressed for a bank loan by a bank, causing the company to go bankrupt, or that someone was sued by the bank.
But then Chen Ran learned about this matter with Vice Chairman Lin and his brothers respectively, and then he realized that what the other party said was indeed true. Other jewelry companies took money from banks, and this was completely true.
Normal business behavior. As for being urged for a bank loan, you will only be asked for it when the loan term is up. There is a contract signed and the time is set. If the term is not met, you will not be asked for it.
After repeatedly making sure that there would be no problems, Chen Ran made an appointment with the other party to discuss the loan, and finally got a loan of 2 billion from the bank.
It's not that Chen Ran doesn't want to get more, but his company's performance and strength are there. In addition, the old man of the Lin family raised money from Hong Kong before. Now this is the first time for such a loan, and the company has
He just had a new owner, and the other party approached him for a loan. It was because of Fourth Uncle He's reputation. Otherwise... Dai Mengde was able to get so much because of the strength of his company, and the financial strength of his backstage.
Relatively strong.
…
Later, Chen Ran received another 1.8 billion in funds from his brothers. This 1.8 billion was given to him by his brothers. In fact, when he first learned that he was raising funds, his brothers
I asked him if he wanted to help him with the turnover first, but he didn't agree at that time, because he was not the only one who was raising funds, He Zhenhua had also been raising funds for that big project. If you guys have any spare funds,
, He Zhenhua would not have been able to raise funds before, and all the funds were raised on him.
In addition, Chen Ran was not so eager to raise funds at the time, so he did not ask his brothers to help. However, as his thoughts changed later, Chen Ran learned that although He Zhenhua was raising funds, he was not short of funds in a short period of time.
Because He Zhenhua always prepared spare funds, he could just transfer He Zhenhua's spare funds to use them and wait a month before transferring them to He Zhenhua.
He Zhenhua obviously had no doubt at all whether Chen Ran could replenish the funds for him within a month. Let’s not talk about Chen Ran’s gambling skills for the time being, just that Chen Ran could just sell one of the magic weapons he had on hand.
Selling two billion yuan convinced him to trust Chen Ran, so He Zhenhua transferred 11 billion yuan to Chen Ran without saying a word.
In addition, Su Wenyang and Rong Mingyang also raised 500 million and 200 million respectively for Chen Ran.
The other brothers, except for the fourth brother, are either in politics or the military. Naturally, they won't talk too much about it. The funds from the fourth brother are all invested in the eldest brother He Zhenhua, although it is definitely better than the brothers.
There were more, but Chen Ran didn't let his brothers bother the fourth child. Firstly, there was not enough time, and secondly, he had not met the fourth child after all. Let alone not knowing what kind of person the fourth child was.
Even the fourth child treats him the same as the brothers, but this is always not good.
…
With the bank's 2 billion and the brothers' 1.8 billion, he has 7.3 billion in funds on hand.
7.3 billion!
Even Chen Ran himself did not expect that he could raise so much funds in just two or three days, although the 7.3 billion included loans and borrowings...
But whether it's a loan or a loan, as long as he gets the money on the public market, he will be confident that he can at least double the money.
Doubling 7.3 billion would be nearly 150 billion, which is still a minimum. In fact, as long as the quality of the wool in this public sale is not too bad, he can easily achieve this goal.
…
After raising enough funds, Chen Ran immediately asked Rong Mingyang to help him open an overseas company account, and at the same time, he converted the funds into euros and deposited them in this account.
When settling the account at the end of the public offering, you either have to use cash or directly transfer funds from overseas accounts. Now it is no different than before. Companies in Myanmar have their own overseas accounts, so it is very convenient to transfer.
After excluding several hundred million in working capital, Chen Ran exchanged a total of 800 million euros.
After handling some trivial matters and making a series of arrangements, Yang Shijie returned to Tianzhong with a hundred veterans' information, while Chen Ran took the people on a plane to Naypyi, the capital of Myanmar.
