Chapter 42 Asking for help(1/2)
Although Yang Xun arrived suddenly, it did not affect Lei Dongbao's warm reception.
Today's Xiaolei's family is no longer the poorest brigade within dozens of miles around.
Lei Dongbao gave an order, and the master chef in the cafeteria started a small stove, including free-range chickens and ducks raised by farmers in the village, fresh fish caught from Lei Zhongfu's fish pond, fruit plates, cold dishes, and dishes made from seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Very rich.
The two of them had already talked a lot while changing glasses. Yang Xun's cheeks were already red from the alcohol and his eyes were a little blurry, but Lei Dongbao was still sober.
The two chatted a lot, from the first meeting when they were strangers to each other, to cherishing each other, working together, and helping each other.
They also talked about their recent experiences and expressed a lot of emotion.
Although Lei Dongbao and Yang Xun were friends, they were not fools. Yang Xun came so suddenly and was so enthusiastic. Lei Dongbao naturally thought about it, so he changed the topic under the influence of wine and asked.
"Xiao Yang Xun, I came here unexpectedly. Is there anything important?"
"Brother Lei!" Yang Xun looked at Lei Dongbao, his eyes that were already a little blurry suddenly gathered together.
"I'm not going to hide it from you. When I came back this time, I really wanted to ask for something!" Having said this, Yang Xun simply stopped hiding it and spoke directly.
There was still no change in the expression on Lei Dongbao's face, but he calmly met Yang Xun's gaze and said, "Since you call me brother, if there is anything I can do to help, just ask!"
"Brother Lei!" Yang Xun said, "I won't hide it from you. I came here to borrow money from you."
Lei Dongbao said: "How much do you want to borrow?"
"Ah?" Yang Xun was stunned by Lei Dongbao's words.
"Ah what!" Lei Dongbao said: "How much can I borrow from you?"
Yang Xun looked straight at Lei Dongbao and said, "Two hundred thousand!"
"Hiss!" Lei Dongbao took a breath when Yang Xun said: "You really dare to speak!"
"Two hundred thousand, look at whether my body is worth two hundred thousand!" Lei Dongbao frowned and stared at Yang Xun: "Xiao Yang Xun, since you call me big brother, then you are my Lei Dongbao
Brother Bao, if you borrow thirty to fifty thousand, I can still lend it to you with gritted teeth, but I really don’t have two hundred thousand!"
"You also know that Thunder is different from your electrical appliance market. Your one belongs to you personally, but 'Thunder' belongs to everyone in Xiaolei's family. Although I am the secretary of Xiaolei's family and the general manager of Thunder, I am also the general manager of Thunder."
I'm just a manager, the Thunder's money is not my own."
"Brother!" Yang Xun said, "I know everything you said. To be honest, if I hadn't encountered difficulties, I wouldn't have spoken to you!"
"Brother, do you know about the shopping mall that is being built next to my electrical appliance market?"
Lei Dongbao nodded and said: "I know! Hasn't it been started for more than half a year?"
Yang Xun nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, it has been more than half a year since the construction started. The main body is almost completed. Now only the decoration is left!"
"The money in the account has been used up?" Lei Dongbao looked at Yang Xun and asked.
Yang Xun nodded and said with a helpless smile: "After the main body is completed and accepted, there will be no money in the account."
Lei Dongbao's mind was spinning very fast, and he quickly came up with a guess: "Is it because of the bad wires last time?"
"Hey!" Yang Xun sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, it was that incident. My electrical appliance market almost didn't close down. There was no way. If the electrical appliance market closed down, my shopping mall would definitely not be built. I
We can only divert the money used to build shopping malls first to prop up the electrical appliance market."
"Business in the electrical appliance market is back now, but the money in the company's account has almost been spent."
"Two hundred thousand isn't too much for you, right?" Lei Dongbao said.
Yang Xun said: "It would be great if the gap is only 200,000!"
Having reached this point, Yang Xun simply explained everything: "I'm going to borrow 200,000 from you, and then borrow 1 million from my sister Song Yunping! Renovate the mall and rent it out.
, I will return it to you when I get the rent.”
"One million and two hundred thousand, this is not a small amount!" Lei Dongbao's expression became solemn, and his tone also changed.
Yang Xundao: "I really have no choice, otherwise I wouldn't have said this."
Lei Dongbao said: "I remember that your shopping mall was built with a loan from a bank, right?"
Yang Xun smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right, I borrowed two million from the bank!"
"Two million from the bank, plus the 1.2 million you want to borrow now, that's 3.2 million. Even if your shopping mall is built, the rent you can recover in a year will be 3.2 million."
?”
Lei Dongbao has also been in business for several years. Although he is a rough boss and has low education, it does not mean that he is stupid. If he were really stupid, there would be no Thunder Company today and no Lei Family today.
Thick on the outside but delicate on the inside, quick-thinking and willing to work hard, this is the true face of Lei Dongbao.
Yang Xundao: "It really doesn't work. After the mall is built, we can only sell part of the property rights!"
"Anyway, it's better than leaving it alone."
Lei Dongbao said hurriedly: "We can't ignore it. If we leave it alone, wouldn't all the money you invested earlier be in vain?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't come up with 200,000 yuan!" Lei Dongbao was also helpless and said: "If the money in Thunder's account is to be used, I don't have the final say alone."
"Brother, how much can you lend me?" Yang Xun naturally knew Lei Dongbao's difficulties.
After all, Thunderbolt is a collective enterprise and belongs to all the villagers of Xiaolei's family. Although Lei Dongbao is now the head of Thunderbolt, the government has always paid attention to the charter of this kind of collective enterprise. If Lei Dongbao changes it privately,
, but it is illegal.
Looking at Yang Xun's eyes full of expectation and pleading, Lei Dongbao's heart had already softened. After a moment of silence, Lei Dongbao raised his hand and stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty thousand yuan, this is all the money I have!" Lei Dongbao said. Thirty thousand yuan, all of Lei Dongbao's cash and deposits combined, is not that much. This is already what Lei Dongbao plans to scrape together.
Yang Xun made up the amount.
The disappointment in Yang Xun's eyes flashed away, but mosquitoes are still flesh no matter how small they are. Yang Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Lei, thirty thousand is thirty thousand, something is better than nothing!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle, filled the wine glass in front of Lei Dongbao, filled it for himself, then raised his glass and gave a toast to Lei Dongbao.
After a few more glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the wine table had changed. Lei Dongbao raised his hand and patted Yang Xun on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that my ability is limited."
"Brother Lei! Please don't say that." Yang Xun said hurriedly: "At this time, under such circumstances, you are still willing to lend me money. I, Yang Xun, will keep this feeling in my heart!"
"We are all brothers!" Lei Dongbao really regarded Yang Xun as a brother.
Although he failed to borrow the expected 200,000 yuan, Yang Xun could feel Lei Dongbao's sincerity. Compared with the intrigues, intrigues, and profit-seeking business world, Lei Dongbao was really different.
"Brother, there is something I think I need to tell you!" After a few more glasses of wine, and the feeling of drunkenness gradually rising, Lei Dongbao spoke again.
Yang Xun asked: "Brother Lei, if anything happens, just tell me."
Lei Dongbao said: "The Song Yunping you are talking about is the daughter-in-law of Dr. Wang Zhongwang of the Shanbei Brigade of Hongwei Town. She is the female boss of the Jinxiu Textile Factory in our county, right?"
Yang Xun nodded and said, "Yes, it's her!"
Lei Dongbao naturally knew that Yang Xun knew Song Yunping. The reason why he asked this was just to confirm again: "Our Xiaolei family's construction team has always cooperated with Director Song's Jinxiu Clothing. Recently, the clothing factory of Jinxiu Clothing
Bian has just expanded, built several new factories, introduced a lot of equipment, and hired nearly a hundred people."
Yang Xun was stunned and asked: "Brother Lei, you mean that my sister may not have that much cash in hand?"
Lei Dongbao nodded and said: "You know how much it cost to build your shopping mall. Although the prices of goods and labor here are not as good as those in Donghai, they are not much different!"
Yang Xun was silent. He really didn't expect this. Yang Xun had been so worried about things in the mall recently that he had no time to ask about things in his hometown. But after lowering his head and thinking for a while, Yang Xun raised his head again.
, but could only say helplessly: "No matter what, I have to give it a try!"
"Yes!" Lei Dongbao nodded, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
Yang Xun picked up the refilled wine glass again and said to Lei Dongbao: "Brother, come here, I'll toast you with another drink!"
"drink!"
Knowing that Yang Xun was hiding something, Lei Dongbao did not persuade Yang Xun not to drink. Instead, he drank one glass after another with Yang Xun very competently.
It wasn't until Yang Xun couldn't keep his eyes open and he fell down on the wine table that Lei Dongbao got up and called someone to help Yang Xun into the house.
Yang Xun was so drunk that he was completely broken. Lei Dongbao was also a little tipsy and his mind was a little confused.
Although he was a little confused, fortunately his consciousness was still there and he was thinking about Yang Xun. Lei Dongbao took advantage of his drunkenness to find Si Yan and Lei Shigen and told them about Yang Xun's loan.
After Siyan and Lei Shigen looked at each other after hearing this, Lei Shigen said: "Dongbao, you can't fool around. The money in the account is all counted, so you can't borrow it casually!"
Siyan also hurriedly said: "It's no better than before. The county may come to audit the accounts at any time. Two hundred thousand is not a small amount."
"I know who Yang Xun is!" Lei Dongbao said: "If he hadn't helped us sell wires, our Thunder wouldn't be where we are today."
"That's what I said, but the thunder is not ours!" Lei Shigen is one of the more sober and principled people in Xiaolei's family.
"Dongbao, you can't be confused!" Lei Shigen was afraid that Lei Dongbao would get mad and actually embezzle the company's money to help Yang Xun.
"Don't worry!" Lei Dongbao said: "Although I want to help Yang Xun, I won't do anything wrong. I'm looking for you to ask you to think of ways to see how I can help him!"
"Two hundred thousand is not a small amount of money!"
"It's not 200,000, it's 1.2 million!" Lei Dongbao said.
"What?" Lei Shigen stood up excitedly and stared at Lei Dongbao with wide eyes: "One million and two hundred thousand? You think we are opening a bank!"
"That's right, even if we add up all the Thunder's projects, we still don't have much money in our account!" Siyan followed hurriedly.
"How much money do we have in our account now?" Lei Dongbao asked.
