Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 188 - 166 Dark Face and Red Face_2

"So..."

Ding!

Chen Cheng’s mobile phone rang.

He took it out and saw a message from Jin Baogen.

"Go find Xiao Wen."

Chen Cheng knitted his brows, remembering Jin Baogen’s gloomy face just now and recalling the surprise that Wen Shulin mentioned last night, he felt more and more that they had a plan in place.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Shall we go ask her?"

"Aunt Wen?"

Chen Cheng nodded, "Mr. Jin didn’t lie to you, he has never done anything like equity acquisitions. But Shulin’s CGG should have ample resources and channels."

Mei Xiang hesitated a bit.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "We have an old saying here."

"What is it?"

"Treat a dead horse as if it’s alive and the bridge will straighten out as you reach it."

Hope flashed in Mei Xiang’s eyes again, "Okay, let’s give it a try."

The two got in the car and headed for CGG.

Upon arrival, they were led by the secretary to the door of Wen Shulin’s office.

The secretary knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in," Wen Shulin’s voice came from inside.

Chen Cheng and Mei Xiang walked in, and Wen Shulin looked up with a smile on her face.

"Mei Xiang."

She walked out from behind the desk, pointing to the sofa set for guests, "Why have you come with Mr. Chen?"

Mei Xiang anxiously said, "Aunt Wen, Mr. Chen took me to see Mr. Jin."

Wen Shulin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "How did it go? Did he agree to help you?"

Mei Xiang shook her head, "No."

"Mr. Jin stated that he has never been involved in equity transactions and that due to tight capital arrangements, he is unable to provide the 20 billion yen of financial support we need."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shulin sighed and a complex emotion flickered in her eyes.

She then stepped forward, took Mei Xiang’s hand, and comforted her.

"Mei Xiang, I understand your dilemma. I also know a bit about Mr. Jin’s situation; his caution is well-known. But don’t worry, we have other ways to go."

She turned to look at Chen Cheng, "Mr. Chen, since you’ve brought Mei Xiang to me, I assume you..."

Chen Cheng: "Shulin, since Mr. Jin’s avenue is not viable, but I believe CGG, as a giant in the industry, must have a wealth of resources and a wide range of investment channels."

He spoke slowly, "Mei Xiang also told me that the reason she didn’t come directly to you is because of independence and credibility."

"Perhaps, we can discuss, through some of CGG’s projects or investment funds, to indirectly help Xingye Products get through the tough times?"

After listening, a flicker of appreciation showed in Wen Shulin’s eyes.

"Mr. Chen, your idea is very thorough. CGG indeed has some flexible investment tools that can help companies obtain the needed financial support without direct funding."

Mei Xiang was overjoyed, "Really? Aunt Wen!"

"However, this requires us to carefully assess risks and ensure all operations comply with laws and regulations."

Wen Shulin pondered for a moment and continued, "Let’s do this, Mei Xiang, first compile a detailed financial report and capital needs of Xingye Products for me."

"Meanwhile, I will arrange our finance and investment departments to conduct a preliminary analysis. Additionally, I’ll communicate with the senior management to see if there’s a suitable cooperation model."

Mei Xiang stood up excitedly, "Aunt Wen, all the documents of Xingye Products are right here."

She quickly took out an iPad and handed it to Wen Shulin, "If you need any other documents later on, I will have them prepared immediately and handed to you as soon as possible!"

Mei Xiang bowed again, "Aunt Wen, I’m counting on you!"

"No need to be polite, Meixiang. We’ve known each other for many years, and I’m glad that I could help you. Moreover, I believe Xingye Products has profound heritage and potential. As long as you get through this tough time, the future will be even more brilliant."

Wen Shulin then said, "Meixiang, during this time you need to cooperate with me to prepare some detailed company information, including financial statements, business planning, and so on. The more detailed, the better.

"Also, you have to be mentally prepared, you may encounter some difficulties and challenges in this process."

"I’ll tell my father the news first so that he can also be prepared," Meixiang hurriedly said. "Aunt Wen, Mr. Chen, thank you, I am really very grateful!"

After Meixiang left, Chen Cheng asked Wen Shulin, "What exactly are you and Mr. Jin staging?"

Wen Shulin smiled gently, "It’s all for you."

"For me?" Chen Cheng pointed to his own nose.

"Mr. Jin has a lot of influence in the debt market, his roots are deeply entrenched in this circle. Everyone knows him and relies on him for their livelihood."

Wen Shulin’s gaze turned from tender to serious, "And everything he does, cannot be brought to light."

The more Chen Cheng listened, the more complicated it seemed.

"Why did Mr. Jin only hand over the backend of the bond issuance to you, but not let you get involved with the frontend business?" Wen Shulin asked.

"If the backend is you, then the frontend is..."

Wen Shulin nodded, "He’s getting older and can’t do this many more times."

"Once he retires, people in this circle will need to find a new way to make a living."

She continued, "So, during this time, he wants you to come to the forefront in a respectful and upright manner." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"And Xingye Products is your stepping stone to the forefront. If you can successfully resolve their financial difficulties and help Meixiang get through this tough time, your reputation will be established in the industry."

"In the future, all kinds of resources and opportunities will naturally gravitate towards you, and your career will reach a new peak." Wen Shulin smiled again, "And you, you won’t have to depend on issuing bonds to make a profit anymore."

Her words were straightforward, "After all, this industry generally carries too high a risk. Moreover, once Mr. Jin retires, the people at the frontend won’t give Mr. Chen any face."

"They don’t recognize you, and as for the backend, besides me, I don’t think the likes of Li Bo and the others will be as eager towards you as they are now."

Chen Cheng swallowed hard, murmuring, "Out of sight, out of mind."

"Yes, out of sight, out of mind."

He took a deep breath, understanding the significance of this charade.

Looking back now, Jin Baogen’s strategies were indeed much more sophisticated than his own.

And this was what Jin Baogen meant, that Wen Shulin could offer Chen Cheng something he couldn’t.

"So it turns out you are playing good cop, bad cop!"

Wen Shulin nodded in acknowledgment, "We’ve already set up the stage, just waiting for Mr. Chen, you to make your grand entrance."

Chen Cheng was resolute, "Since that is the case, let’s perform this play well, we cannot disappoint Mr. Jin and your painstaking efforts."

"Of course."

Chen Cheng asked curiously, "So what do we do next?"

"Invest in Xingye Products as an individual," Wen Shulin said frankly. "You will become a famous independent investor."

Chen Cheng was slightly shocked, "That’s not easy, my personal financial capacity might not be able to support it."

"The siheyuan that Mr. Jin gave to Xiao Er is worth over 2 billion." Wen Shulin said, "And Tong Jialu and Xia Yubing from Jing Securities will help you secure this mortgage loan."

Chen Cheng’s heart skipped a beat; given how things had developed to this point, it seemed to have been planned meticulously in advance.

"The real estate of the siheyuan has not been transferred yet," Wen Shulin laid out all the details, "it’s because it is meant to be useful at a crucial time. Mr. Jin considered this step long ago, so he always kept this trump card."

Chen Cheng furrowed his brow, "How long have you been planning this?"

Wen Shulin smiled lightly, "Three days ago, Meixiang called, saying she wanted to visit an old friend on her father’s behalf."

"I was curious at that time, so I had someone check Xingye Product’s situation and the US Dollar to yen exchange spread; I felt she definitely had an agenda coming here."

Wen Shulin played with her hair, "So, I arranged for the horse auction and for her appearance, to let everyone know that Xingye’s people have arrived."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "I hadn’t realized, you really are quite something!"

Wen Shulin smiled slightly, "It’s all for you, Mr. Chen."
