Chapter 2352
Money Matters Whether You Have a Lot or a Lot
That small company has assets exceeding HK$1.5 billion.
The debts are indeed some, including rent for the office space, salaries for the employees, and some tax issues.
Putting aside other matters, the first thing Lou Xiao'e did after taking over the company was to pay back 20 million Hong Kong dollars in taxes and donate 30 million Hong Kong dollars to charities in Hong Kong Island.
This is the largest personal donation since Hong Kong Island was established.
In the past few days, the media has been praising Lou Xiao'e's kindness and good deeds.
They overlooked the hundreds of thousands of investors in Jiahang Company who lost everything.
Lou Xiao'e actually spent more than 400 million yuan in this transaction.
There are two small underground money changers on Hong Kong Island, and they once lent Mr. C a sum of money.
Although it was Mr. C's private loan, Lou Xiao'e still repaid it on his behalf.
Underground banks in various places, regardless of size, are basically businesses run by criminal organizations.
Although Lou Xiao'e was not afraid of those people, it was not worth offending them for tens of millions of yuan.
Of course, if the interest rate were compounded according to Mr. C's loan, it would easily exceed 100 million.
Lou Xiao'e was willing to repay the money, settle the principal, and give the other party a small fee for their trouble; that was considered her kindness.
As for the underground banks in other cities, some people naturally wanted to extort money from Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e didn't respond at all.
Although this refusal certainly required her to take some risks.
But if you want to make big money, taking risks is inevitable.
Actually, if you look at it from Mr. C's perspective, even if he sold off his assets for HK$300 million, he wouldn't have lost out.
If things had gone according to his original plan, he would first need to cash out, share the profits with all parties, repay the debt with interest, change his identity, and then launder the money through underground banks.
Even if you could cash out over a billion, the clean money you'd actually end up with would be at most four or five hundred million.
If you fail to handle even one aspect properly, you'll be devoured whole.
Now, he could go to América and take over the HK$300 million under a completely new identity.
Then you can become a 'glorious' América citizen and live a comfortable life.
Whether América was truly a paradise for the rich, as he imagined, was none of Lou Xiao'e's business.
Of course, the fact that Lou Xiao'e spent 300 million to buy a 1.5 billion yuan property does not mean that she can now sell it for 1.5 billion yuan.
The Hong Kong Island property market is currently in a downturn, especially for properties with such problems.
If you don't keep it in your possession for two or three years, no one will dare to buy it.
This also relates to the time cost of a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
However, Lou Xiao'e's family is now very wealthy, so she doesn't care if all these properties are left vacant.
This is how capital makes money.
Even in later generations, all commercial real estate projects sold as packages were actually done in the same way.
With a market valuation of 40-50 billion, offering 10 billion is already a very reasonable price.
Valuation is valuation, and packaging is packaging.
A customer who can come up with 10 billion in liquid cash without a single penny in arrears is the best customer ever.
It's the kind of thing that requires giving someone a "good guy" card.
He Yuzhu saw this news in internal study materials.
He just smiled and then ignored it.
What can he say? What emotions should he express?
When wealth reaches a certain level, it really becomes no different from a number.
Just like when Liu Ting asks him for her salary every month.
Originally, she would open the envelope, count the money, and give He Yuzhu some pocket money. Now, that woman doesn't even count it.
On payday each month, Liu Ting would remind him to be considerate and put his pay envelope in the bedside table drawer.
He's so arrogant that He Yuzhu, the head of the family, feels no sense of accomplishment at all.
He Yuzhu truly misses the time when He Yuan was four or five years old.
At that time, his career was just starting out, and every month when he received his salary, his whole family was as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
Liu Ting would hold her daughter and stand at the door to greet him.
The two women laughed as they took the envelope from his hand.
Although He Yuan didn't know the importance of money at that time, she did know that those colorful papers could be exchanged for candy.
He Yuzhu remembers that one summer, Liu Ting was sitting on a straw mat counting money.
After counting and counting, the only card missing is a big black ten.
I almost got into a fight with He Yuzhu over this.
They assumed he embezzled it, or that he didn't count his wages when he collected them from work...
He Yuzhu was also scolded and looked dejected, but he just couldn't remember where the ten yuan had gone.
Later, when they picked up He Yuan, who was sitting quietly playing, they found that the large bill had been sitting under her bottom.
He Yuzhu and Liu Ting were dumbfounded.
To this day, it's still unclear whether He Yuan accidentally sat on the ten yuan while playing with it, or whether she did it on purpose...
This matter has become an unsolvable mystery.
"…Principal, this is the school's salary, and this is the consultant subsidy from the city government…" Teacher Qian handed several envelopes to He Yuzhu one by one with an envious look on her face.
Who doesn't like money?
Even though Xiao Qian, the general affairs officer, now earns a salary of over two hundred, he still feels envious when he touches the thickness of He Yuzhu's envelopes and guesses how much money is inside.
"Just put it there!"
"You could have just had Lao Mo make the trip for this; there's no need for you to deliver it personally," He Yuzhu said, resting his chin on his hand, sounding utterly bored.
"I wouldn't dare. If I sign it, I have to hand it to you personally."
It's not that I don't trust Lao Mo, it's that I don't trust you. If you say there's one or two bills missing, I don't have the money to compensate you.
My wife only gives me ten yuan a month for pocket money.” Teacher Qian was obviously joking when she said this.
Sometimes, friends need to chat idly to maintain their relationship.
In the past, He Yuzhu would have definitely ridiculed Comrade Xiao Qian, saying that he was henpecked and that while pork prices had gone up, his allowance hadn't increased.
Even though his situation wasn't much better than Xiao Qian's.
Although Liu Ting doesn't restrict his spending, she only gives him twenty yuan a month in pocket money according to the family rules.
He Daqing gave 50 yuan, her mother gave 20 yuan, Xiao Chongzi gave 10 yuan, and He Shouyi gave 5 yuan...
But even if you're only slightly better than someone else, you can still be very happy.
He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, but said seriously, "General Affairs Manager Qian, I have a task for you: a business trip. Take Xiao Gan and the others to the south."
We must accelerate the construction of our factory.
Otherwise, with so much money sitting in the books, I really can't stop certain people from coveting it.
I'll give you a few phone numbers..."
Xiao Gan was one of the people who came in the same batch as Zhang Chaoyang, and he was quite good at management.
He Yuzhu's recent worry is still about having too much money.
In these times when every organization is short of money,
He Yuzhu's school-run factory was like a spotlight in the dark.
It attracted too many flying insects that swarmed around him.
Everyone wanted to take a piece of him. (End of Chapter)
