The black pen kept writing Ding Xiaoyi's name over and over again on the brand new contract.
After each page is signed, the secretary on the side will quickly put the contract away and compare it carefully to ensure that there will be no problems.
Although we are now in a new era of electronic information storage, when it comes to such large-scale corporate issues, paper contracts are often safer.
The thick contract paper gradually became thinner page by page, when the young man signed his name on the last contract.
The Ding family's two pharmaceutical factories, as well as this commercial building in the city center worth tens of billions of alliance coins, have had nothing to do with themselves since then.
"Mr. Ding, this is the relic that the chairman specified to give to you."
A square box was delivered in front of Ding Xiaoyi. Ding Xiaoyi did not touch the box, but looked at the group lawyer in front of him, who was very thin.
He is already in his forties, with a mustache, and his sinister eyes are more like a vulture staring closely at him.
In his impression, this lawyer named Wang Ke is the old man's most trusted lawyer, but now he is also the attorney appointed by the liquidation company.
Stand up and open the box in front of you.
There were only two things in the square cardboard box.
A black notebook with a jet black leather cover has a special retro texture.
In addition, there is a very strange yellow paper.
There was a password lock hanging on the notebook. Ding Xiaoyi only glanced at it briefly before turning his attention to the yellow paper.
[Land deed: Chaimu New Residence, Dukou Road.]
Is it a house deed?
When he saw the land deed in his hand, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but have a confused look on his face.
The Ding Group went bankrupt. Not to mention the real estate, even the deposits were frozen by the bank.
How is it possible to still leave a property for yourself?
Wang Ke on the side seemed to see the confusion in his heart, and the corners of his slender eyes narrowed into a slit.
"We checked this house deed at the Housing Authority, but there was no record. Judging from the material of the paper page, it looks more like some kind of imitation handicraft. As the chairman's relic, we gave up the right to recover the item as repayment.
The chairman’s contribution to the company over the years.”
"You are so generous!"
Ding Xiaoyi replied with a smile, and as he said that, he took another look at the house deed in his hand.
It occupies a small area of 300 square meters, but it seems to have a large private plot.
Such a property is worth a lot of money in city S where land is at a premium.
Unfortunately, as Wang Ke said, this house deed has no legal effect.
But after all, it was a relic left by the old man to him. He carefully put away the house deed and picked up the diary in the box.
It's a black diary. I don't know what kind of leather it is made of, but it feels very good to the touch.
The diary was firmly locked with a silver lock. Ding Xiaoyi looked at Wang Ke.
Wang Ke just shook his head and said: "We didn't find the key either."
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly saw that there seemed to be something underneath the box.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was two coins with a face value of 10,000 yuan.
Of course, if he could ignore the four words Tiandi Bank above, he thought he would be even happier.
Wang Ke explained on the side: "This is already there, we didn't put it in."
Ding Xiaoyi was already used to this. He casually put the two coins in his wallet, stood up and left.
"By the way, Mr. Ding, although the company has gone bankrupt and all assets have been liquidated, you still have another debt, not much, probably..."
Wang Ke said this, took out his mobile phone and carefully confirmed the numbers, then added:
"Not much, 184,600 alliance coins. The repayment date for this money is the 8th of next month. I hope you repay it on time, otherwise you will be sued by the bank."
When talking about the repayment date, Wang Ke deliberately emphasized the tone to remind the other party that the repayment period was less than ten days away and what serious consequences he would face if he could not repay the money.
Wang Ke's eyes were fixed on Ding Xiaoyi.
I hope I can see the helpless look on this young man's face.
After all, he had just returned to China and faced the death of his family, the bankruptcy of his company, and he was burdened with debts that he could not repay.
This will be a very hard blow for a young man who has been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood.
Before entering the door, Wang Ke had even imagined how desperate or dejected this young master would be.
But until now, Wang Ke has not been able to fulfill his wish.
The young man in front of him had neither anger nor panic, nor even any dissatisfaction in him.
This made Wang Ke think of the chairman who single-handedly founded the Ding Group.
In the new era, the reason why the Ding Group has never been able to stand up is precisely because of the presence of this old man who is like a needle in the sea.
The company's composure and calmness that remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai enabled the company to survive disasters time and time again in the past 27 years, and even experienced rebirth to create new miracles.
It’s just that he’s gone now…
Ding Xiaoyi's slender brows raised slightly, and he seemed to have some impression of the money. It was the money that his client bought a set of engines from abroad some time ago.
That was the final balance, which was paid by credit card.
This debt is my own personal debt, but the problem is that after the company goes bankrupt, I am the sole heir of the company.
According to the Debt Inheritance Law, you will also face a state where your deposits are frozen.
Let alone 180,000, if you take out the remaining fractions, you won’t be able to pay it now.
"Of course, in view of your actual difficulties, I can help negotiate with the bank for free and change it to half-year installments, but you will need to repay at least about 30,000 yuan every month."
"I see!"
Unfortunately, Ding Xiaoyi had no intention of continuing the conversation with Wang Ke. He just nodded and walked out of the office.
"Hey, it's already 10:37 in the evening. There are very few hover cars around. How about I give it to you? It's not safe lately. I heard there was a robber recently..."
Before Wang Ke finished speaking, he saw Ding Xiaoyi waving and walking into the elevator.
The Ding Group is in liquidation, and everyone in the company is extremely busy.
But these have nothing to do with me anymore.
When he walked out of the company, Ding Xiaoyi took out his mobile phone, which contained more than ten missed calls, voice messages, etc.
After casually browsing, most of them were caring greetings from several friends, and there were some very clear statements. If he needed money, he only needed to say hello.
After reading it casually, Ding Xiaoyi deleted all the information, then shut down his phone without trying to contact anyone.
The Ding family went bankrupt.
Without enough capital, all the previous connections would have no meaning in continuing to exist.
Just take a look at the news about providing funds to help brothers tide over difficulties and start a new business from scratch. Don't take it seriously or don't take it too seriously.
"I wonder if anyone has taken possession of that engine."
Walking on the road, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the street lights above his head expressionlessly, thinking about how to pay off the debt.
Even if he is penniless, Ding Xiaoyi does not intend to become a deadbeat.
The consequences of being sued by the bank and becoming a banker are very serious.
He doesn't think that carrying hundreds of thousands of foreign debts will crush him.
As the old man often said to himself, as long as you work hard and work hard, salted fish can turn around one day.
The house has been sealed and the contents inside cannot be taken out by oneself.
But at the dock, the engine he just bought was still there.
If it can be sold successfully, it should be able to exchange for a sum of money to meet urgent needs.
Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoyi stopped a floating taxi.
Although it is a floating car, the car in front of me is obviously very old, and it looks more like an old model from twenty years ago.
The car body was dilapidated, the headlight on the left side of the front had not turned on, and a very dazzling scratch appeared on the car body.
One has to wonder whether this car was driven from a scrapyard.
This made Ding Xiaoyi instinctively want to refuse to take this car.
But considering the company's location in the suburbs and the time of day, I don't know how long it will take to wait for a hover car.
Ding Xiaoyi still opened the door and sat in the back seat.
However, before getting in the car, Ding Xiaoyi still kept a cautious eye and took a look at the license plate number: "ly404"
Perhaps it was a long time since he had made such an old hover car. As soon as he got on the car, the pungent smell in the car made Ding Xiaoyi feel very uncomfortable, as if something was burnt.
But I didn’t think too much about it, after all, at this time, there was nothing to be picky about.
“To the dock ferry!”
There is only one dock in the entire S city, which is where freight is concentrated.
Where should I go to inspect the engine I bought, and then find a black market to sell the engine at a low price?
Speaking of this engine, Ding Xiaoyi felt a little reluctant to part with it. He spent a lot of money to get this engine.
As a mechanical modification enthusiast, in Ding Xiaoyi's eyes, this engine, both in terms of its own value and its rarity, far exceeds the so-called debt of 180,000 yuan.
But it was precisely because this engine was so unique that Ding Xiaoyi decided to sell it at a low price.
It’s not that you can’t sell it at a high price, it’s that you can’t afford it.
Whether it's looking for a seller, inspecting goods, inspecting, testing, or a series of regulations, I'll wonder if I don't starve to death after going through a lot of back and forth.
Although selling to the black market is cheap, at least the money comes quickly.
When Ding Xiaoyi was lost in thought.
The driver looked back at Ding Xiaoyi and said, "Why do you look so sad? I owe money!"
Ding Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment and touched his face with his hand: "Is it obvious??"
"You generation of young people, I don't know what they think. They all have very little ability, and they owe a lot of money."
The driver looked like a stranger and pointed to the family photo posted on the driver's seat.
Ding Xiaoyi looked over and saw three people smiling in the family photo, looking like a happy family.
I just don’t know why the photo is in black and white.
"This bastard didn't go to school well and borrowed money to buy things. He borrowed three thousand at first, then ten thousand, and then borrowed more and more. In the end, he borrowed five hundred thousand. It pissed me off. I only made a few bucks by driving from dawn to dusk.
All the money went into it."
Ding Xiaoyi took a look at the boy in the photo. He was about the same age as himself.
"It may be an online loan, but not necessarily all borrowed from him, or maybe he was tricked."
Before returning to China, Ding Xiaoyi noticed some online loan incidents in China. Most of them were scammed. They borrowed 3,000 and issued an IOU of 5,000, but only got more than 2,000 yuan.
In fact, this kind of routine appeared very early in history books, more than 100 years ago, when mankind had not yet established the Alliance.
"No matter how much it is, there is still some money left. If he runs for a while, he can pay it back. I hope he will go to school well in the future. As a young man, he still has a long way to go. As long as he doesn't give up on himself."
The driver sighed, and through the light outside, it was not difficult to see the gray hair on his temples.
Ding Xiaoyi deeply agrees with this sentence.
While talking, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly noticed that the light outside the car was getting darker and darker.
At first there were some street lights, but now there are no street lights at all.
Although he had just returned to China, Ding Xiaoyi had walked back and forth countless times on the road to the dock. He had never been on such a dark road.
"Don't worry, this is a shortcut!" The driver's cheeks looked a little blurry in the dim light, and he spoke to reassure Ding Xiaoyi.
"Is there a shortcut to the pier?"
Ding Xiaoyi seemed surprised, but couldn't help but feel wary.
He had to think of Wang Ke's words when he left the company.
There was a robber nearby recently.
Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoyi felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: "It can't be so unlucky."
"Hehe, I only discovered it recently. The place you went to is a bit out of the way. It's easier to take this road!" the driver responded with a smile.
Ding Xiaoyi looked like this, calmly took the phone in his hand and turned it on again.
However, the signal on the mobile phone is blank. Obviously there is no signal here at all.
This is not the way to the pier.
Ding Xiaoyi has now determined that he has probably left the city.
Putting the phone back into his pocket, Ding Xiaoyi glanced around the car as if nothing had happened, hoping to find something useful.
"Zhizhi..."
At this moment, with a slight sound of braking, the car slowly came to a halt.
"Young man, we're here. I can't walk on the road ahead. Just keep going and pay the fare."
Ding Xiaoyi glanced out the car window. There was nothing in the dark woods, not even the sounds of insects could be heard.
"Are you going to do it here?"
After hesitating for a while, Ding Xiaoyi decided to get out of the car.
There was a huge forest outside, and it was pitch black. He might still have a chance to escape, but if he continued to stay in the car, he would definitely be dead.
"Keep the change, please!"
Ding Xiaoyi took out a 100 alliance coin from his wallet, handed it over, quickly opened the car door and stepped out.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after one foot landed on the ground, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but shudder, and granular goose bumps appeared all over his body.
"Wait!"
At this time, the driver suddenly called Ding Xiaoyi to stop, got out of the car and walked quickly to Ding Xiaoyi.
Although the driver was already middle-aged, he was traveling so fast that Ding Xiaoyi didn't even notice when the driver got off the car.
Seeing the driver getting closer and closer, Ding Xiaoyi felt nervous. Instead of rushing to put away his wallet, he opened his wallet and put it on his chest.
He was not good at fighting, but he had learned some self-defense skills, and his eyes were locked between the driver's legs.
He was thinking that when the driver snatched the wallet, he might have the opportunity to give the driver a fatal blow and gain a chance to escape.
"Hey, I don't want this money, I want this!"
What Ding Xiaoyi didn't expect at this moment was that the driver suddenly returned the hundred-yuan note to Ding Xiaoyi.
Then, under Ding Xiaoyi's stunned eyes, he picked up the piece of money in Ding Xiaoyi's wallet with two fingers like lightning, and smiled at Ding Xiaoyi: "Sorry, I only accept money from the world..."
