Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Xiao Liu, whose full name is Liu Yuan, is the deputy manager of the Sifang Real Estate Project Department.

Frank, Deputy Public Relations Manager.

After Peanut left Zhao Zhi's room, he immediately called the two of them together and prepared to explain things to them.

Before the meeting started, Guo Baochang was peeking at the door.

Peanut saw him and smiled.

"Baochang, come in quickly, we are all brothers here, why are you still so distant?"

Guo Baochang then dared to push the door open and walked in, with a flattering look on his face.

"Brother Hua, I wonder who Mr. Zhao has assigned to stay here?"

When Peanut heard this, he knew what was going on. This guy must have muttered to Lao Zhao that he wanted to stand alone.

Although Guo Baochang and Zhao Zhi usually eat, drink, gamble and have sex together, and act like brothers, in fact, Guo Baochang is a little afraid of Zhao Zhi, because Zhao Zhi will slap him in the face if they disagree with him.

Xiao Guo also complained to Guo Dachong, but was scolded by Lao Guo.

Young people need to experience the ups and downs.

When Old Zhao learned that this kid dared to make a complaint, he gave him a good beating.

Guo Baochang failed to win the lawsuit and was retaliated against afterwards, so he became completely honest!

Peanut stood up, pushed Xiao Guo onto the sofa, and said with a smile,

"Just now, when the chairman was selecting the person in charge, he specifically mentioned you. He originally wanted to keep you in Fukushima, but then he realized that you were someone he couldn't leave behind, so he decided to keep you at the head office."

Peanut pointed at Liu Yuan,

"Liu Yuan will be the manager of the Fukushima branch of Shidao Real Estate!"

Sidao Real Estate is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sifang Real Estate. The name is chosen for the purpose of localization.

Upon hearing this, Guo Baochang showed disappointment on his face.

If he stayed with Zhao Zhi, he would only be a follower, but if he went to develop in a subsidiary company, he could become a local lord and call the wind and rain.

Peanut patted his shoulder and said lightly,

"I'm now conveying the chairman's instructions. You should listen and learn more about the company's decisions. It's absolutely right!"

After saying that, Peanut ignored him, walked to his seat and sat down, and began to convey Zhao Zhi's instructions.

"Liu Yuan, first of all, I want to congratulate you on becoming the general manager of the Fukushima subsidiary! I hope you will live up to the chairman's trust and develop the subsidiary into a strong one."

Liu Yuan quickly stood up and shook Peanut's hand, his excitement evident in his words.

"Thank you! Thank you! I will definitely live up to the chairman's trust!"

Peanut turned to Frank again and said with a smile,

"Frank, the chairman appoints you as deputy general manager and public relations manager!"

"Thank you!"

"The official appointment documents will be issued after the chairman returns to Hong Kong. The chairman said he hopes the official appointment can be held at the same time as your celebration banquet. I hope you can achieve results before then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Frank couldn't wait to ask,

“What resources does the head office provide us?”

This is also the question Liu Yuan wanted to ask.

Peanut looked at them with a smile.

"10 Mi Yuan!"

"Gone?"

"Gone!"

Frank's face turned very ugly.

Sidao Real Estate has four projects in Fukushima, including a shopping mall, a business center, and two residential communities.

The total investment in the four projects is 30 million yuan.

In the first three months, the company needs to complete preparatory work such as personnel recruitment, project design and planning, land leveling, and license and permit processing.

What can 10 yuan do? Even if the local bank provides a small loan, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Frank shook his head.

“This work can’t be carried out!”

He looked at Peanut and immediately made a request.

"Isn't our company's net assets worth hundreds of millions or even billions? Why are they only providing us with so little start-up capital? Can it be increased to 300 million?"

Peanut knocked on the table and shouted,

"Frank, you just said that, that's net assets, not cash! Disposing of such a large amount of assets takes time, so we asked for a three-month buffer period!"

Peanut paused and said seriously,

"What I'm going to say next is company secret. Anyone who dares to leak it will suffer the consequences!"

Everyone shuddered. There was a punishment in Hong Kong called planting lotus flowers on the sea.

The simple understanding is sinking into the sea!

Seeing that they were frightened, Peanut continued,

"You are considered core members of the company, so let me be honest with you. The company originally planned to invest 2 million yuan. Although it has now been increased to 4 million, compared to our entire investment plan, there is still a huge gap in funds!"

He placed a map on the table and said,

"There are 47 first-level administrative regions in Japan. Even if we invest 2000 million in each region, calculate how big our funding gap will be!"

Liu Yuan opened his mouth!

This account is easy to calculate. The total investment is 9.4 million, and the actual amount will be even higher, because the investment in Wodu alone is as high as 3 million.

The investment in Fukushima is as high as 3000 million.

As expected, other regions will also overspend.

With such a simple calculation, the total investment of Sidao Real Estate may be as high as more than 4 billion yuan, while the self-owned funds are only 10 million yuan, and the funding gap may be as high as billion yuan!

Frank was stunned for a long time before he said angrily,

"This is too risky! Our funding chain is at risk of breaking at any time!"

Peanut waved his hand.

"We have to take this risk because the United States has already begun supporting Japan. It won't be long before many policies are announced. By then, a large amount of capital will flock to it. We must seize the opportunity to make plans first!"

Liu Yuan swallowed his saliva and asked,

"Does the chairman have such a strong background? He even knows about unannounced US policies in advance?"

Peanut straightened his back, looking proud.

"The chairman's background is unfathomable. The equity structure of our Sifang Real Estate is not as simple as you see it. Many major Western conglomerates hold shares in the company."

Guo Baochang's mind was in a mess and he blurted out,

"Such a strong background should be made public!"

Frank suddenly jumped up and shouted,

"I get it! If a Western financial group comes over, it will cause too much noise. It's perfect for us to buy the bottom of the market without making a big splash!"

Peanut gave him an approving look and waved his hand.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Frank quickly covered his mouth and sat back down.

Peanut saw that the pie was almost finished, so he got down to business.

"The more difficult the company is, the more opportunities it presents to you! If everything is ready, what is your value? If each subsidiary has sufficient funds, how can you demonstrate your capabilities?"

There is one thing Peanut didn’t say: The company hired you to expand its territory, not to let you sit back and enjoy the fruits of its labor!

When the real problems were mentioned, their faces immediately fell.

Make bricks without straw!

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said,

"With such a huge funding gap, bringing in fresh capital is a must. Japan's economy is so dire that issuing corporate bonds or taking out loans is impossible. Right now, there's only one option left: selling some of our company's shares. In reality, Japan's samurai are very wealthy, and many families have accumulated wealth over hundreds of years."

Peanut gave Liu Yuan an approving look.

Being able to come up with a feasible plan in such a short time is the kind of talent the company needs!

Zhuge Liang never asked Liu Bei why we have so few arrows?

Guan Yu never asked Liu Bei why we have so few soldiers?

Zhang Fei never asked Liu Bei, what should I do when the enemy is at the gate?

So there was the story of borrowing arrows by straw boat, the story of passing five passes and killing six generals, and the story of blocking the water and breaking the bridge to scare off Cao's army.

When Zhao Zilong received the order to attack, he had only 20 soldiers. When he reaped the rewards, he had already captured ten cities, had 2 more soldiers, and more horses. The order only read: Capture the city.

What the head office needs are talents like Zhuge, Guan, Zhang, and Zhang!

Japan is poor, but only the common people are poor; the powerful and wealthy are very rich.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the road of external expansion. The powerful and wealthy classes in the country enjoyed the dividends brought by the war. The amount of gold, silver and jewelry plundered alone is impossible to count.

No matter how difficult the country is, it is only the ordinary people who suffer.

Peanut was silent for a moment, then smiled and said,

"General Manager Liu has made a good start. Difficulties are finite, but people are alive. As long as we use our brains, there will always be a way! The chairman has thought ahead of you and has specially approved the sale of up to 30% of the shares of the Fukushima subsidiary!"

Frank finally had a smile on his face.

"With 30% of the shares, we can raise at least 1000 million!"

Peanut stared at him and asked with a half-smile,

"Frank, if I ask you to use this 30% stake to raise more than $1500 million, how would you do it?"

"How can this be!"

"Is it impossible?"

Peanut turned his gaze towards Liu Yuan.

"You are the person in charge, is there any solution?"

Under normal circumstances, 30% of the shares are worth at most 1000 million.

Therefore, conventional methods cannot be used.

Liu Yuan closed his eyes and thought for 5 minutes, then suddenly exclaimed,

“I can raise 1500 million yuan!”

Peanut nodded.

"I won't ask about the specifics. I'll leave the Fukushima subsidiary to you! Liu Yuan, the chairman has something else for me to tell you privately!"

Guo Baochang and Frank realized that they were being expelled and quickly stood up to leave.

More than an hour later, Peanut left the meeting room. As he was about to leave, Guo Baochang poked his head out and called out,

"Brother Hua, this way!"

Peanut looked at him with a sly look and walked over.

"Brother Hua, I know you're exhausted today. There's a little gift from me in the room to help you relax!"

Peanut frowned and shouted,

"Baochang, we don't play these tricks between brothers. Just tell me what you want to say. I don't know what's in the room, and I don't want to know. Take it away!"

This guy is good at corruption, but he is really bad at doing real work!

"She has nothing, so why would I take anything? She's just a foot massage technician. I feel sorry for her, so I want to find her a job, but I don't have any other intentions!"

Peanut waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, if you have anything to talk to me about, just tell me!"

Guo Baochang looked around and then said in a low voice,

"Did the chairman approve additional funding for Liu Yuan?"

"Not a cent!"

"Really do not have?"

"I can't lie to anyone but you! Mr. Guo and Mr. Zhao are brothers who have shared life and death together. If you don't believe me, please send a telegram directly to Mr. Zhao to ask!"

Guo Baochang gave up.

"So, the general managers of these subsidiaries are just titles without any resources!"

"That's a rough statement, but the logic is sound! However, we can't say there's nothing. At least the Four Islands Real Estate has a great reputation!"

"Reputation can't make a living! I'd better stay at the head office!"

Peanut's brows twitched.

If you stay in the head office, you might end up leading Mr. Zhao into trouble one day.

But kicking that bastard out won't work, I can't explain to Mr. Guo.

Peanut thought about it and decided to dig a hole for him and let the bastard leave by himself.

"Baochang, do you know the eight hundred princes of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"I've heard it, the storyteller's storytelling is very exciting!"

"Then do you know how those eight hundred princes came about?"

"how did it get here?"

Peanut smiled and said,

"The Emperor of Zhou pointed casually and said, 'Guo Baochang, this land is yours if you conquer it. Go ahead!'"

Xiao Guo understood what Peanut meant and asked,

"They don't provide soldiers, money, or food, but only a big seal?"

"What do you think? The land, soldiers and civilians under the Zhou Emperor's rule, why should they be given to you? Are you his son or his grandson? If you want territory, you have to fight for it yourself! The Zhou Emperor may have appointed thousands, or even tens of thousands, of princes, but in the end, only eight hundred survived. This is the origin of the eight hundred princes!"

Guo Baochang lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said angrily,

"Nana!"

Peanut laughed.

"Baochang, you're not afraid of anything. Even if you fall, you can just start over. What's more, don't you have Mr. Guo to back you up? A real man should be like Mr. Zhao, a guest of honor wherever he goes! If you want to take the lead in a subsidiary, I'll go to Mr. Zhao to recommend you!"

Guo Baochang was somewhat tempted, but also a little conflicted. After a long while, he raised his head.

"If it's about fighting for territory, I can totally do it for myself!"

Peanut immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Sifang Real Estate has hundreds of millions in net assets and countless connections. You can't compete with them alone!"

Guo Baochang seemed to have come to his senses and shouted,

“It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox!”

Peanut was secretly happy when he heard this, but he said something else.

"Baochang, real estate is not as simple as it seems. I suggest you study for a while longer!"

"Don't think about it, just do it!"

Peanut punched him on the shoulder and shouted,

"Good boy! You're ambitious. Let's put it this way. When we get to the next city, go ask Mr. Zhao for a plot of land and have it put in your name. I'll speak up for you and try to get you some start-up capital. I can't say how much, but three or five hundred thousand shouldn't be a problem! If Mr. Guo hears you're going to start your own business, he'll definitely give you some support. With that money, you can do a lot!"

Peanut hugged Guo Baochang and laughed heartily.

"If you're not happy outside, Sifang Real Estate always welcomes you back!"

Xiao Guo punched Peanut with his backhand.

"Brother Hua, what are you talking about? You're just so pessimistic about me!"

"Look at my broken mouth, I don't mean anything else..."

The two of them walked arm in arm, getting more and more interested as they talked, and walked side by side towards the room, ready to chat all night long.
