Municipal Party Committee Courtyard, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xie Zhengtao's home is a three-bedroom and two-living house. Although the family prepared a villa for him, Xie Zhengtao has always chosen to live in this house allocated by the government and did not live in a villa.

First, to avoid quarrels, and second, the transportation here is convenient and close to the workplace.

During the Chinese New Year, relatives and friends inevitably came to visit the door. After seeing off a subordinate official, Xie Zhengtao's sister-in-law and her husband came.

At home, my wife was cooking in the kitchen, and in the living room, Xie Zhengtao and his sister-in-law were chatting about family matters.

However, as the topic was discussed, I leaned towards work.

"By the way, I haven't heard from your company for a long time. How are you doing there recently?" Xie Zhengtao asked.

Despite this question, he actually felt like Mingjing, and knew the purpose of his sister-in-law and his wife coming to greet New Year today.

Perhaps because of the issue of face, they never dared to speak out. Xie Zhengtao thought about it and simply made it clear.

Although the Xie family is now a big business, when he first entered the official career, his sister-in-law's family helped him a lot. Xie Zhengtao has always remembered this friendship, so he has been taking good care of their family over the years, and the relationship between the two families has always been good.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to tell you that recently... the company's situation is a bit bad." My sister-in-law said with a wry smile.

She is the sister of Xie Zhengtao's wife, named Zhang Lian, who is in her forties. Although she has experienced the wind and frost, her sideburns and eyebrows have traces of time, her delicate facial features still cannot hide her from being charming and beautiful.

A middle-aged man with flat head in glasses next to her was her husband named Bai Liangwei. He looked honest and honest, but his eyes under the glasses frame always shone with a wise light.

Xie Zhengtao asked with a smile: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. We are a family. I will not ignore those who can help you within the rules."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lian and his wife showed gratitude. Xie Zhengtao was calm and cautious. He had never seen him treat others warmly in the officialdom. Usually, when someone begged him, he would choose to fool him.

However, when dealing with their family, Xie Zhengtao rarely refuses, which moved Zhang Lian and his wife.

After glanced at her husband, Zhang Lian signaled him to speak.

So, Bai Liangwei cleared his throat and said, "Brother-in-law, this is the case. Recently, due to policy changes, the country's control over the ship industry has become increasingly stronger, and their technical reserves are far more powerful than our company... In the ship sales last year, our company was in a negative profit state and lost a lot of money, hundreds of millions of yuan."

Xie Zhengtao interrupted: "Your company is not small, and it's nothing, it's not a loss, right?"

He remembered that his sister-in-law's ship company was the largest private ship company in China. Its headquarters is in Shanghai. The ship industry is spread throughout the coastal areas, and some markets have been opened abroad.

Bai Liangwei nodded: "Although brother-in-law, you are telling the truth, last year was the first time in history that our company had a loss. With the advancement of the policy, if we do not make changes and continue like this, we may not have to declare bankruptcy in seven or eight years."

With the advancement of technology, Bai Liangwei has increasingly found that he cannot keep up with the times. In order to change this state, he often learns the business and management philosophy of other companies.

But he found that the business philosophy of those e-commerce, real estate and other companies is completely different from that of shipping companies.

The technology that ship companies rely on is that only advanced technology can bring about changes and keep up with the times.

But how can advanced technology be obtained just by wanting it?

As the country strengthens its control over the ship industry, their company's current position is very embarrassing. To be precise, the position of all private ship companies in China is the same.

But the country did not kill them all, leaving a way out for them. This path was very clear and clear.

In summary, it is just a few words of technology and innovation.

Only by innovation can private enterprises like them break through the suppression of national policies, stand higher and achieve large-scale profits.

However, if you want to innovate, you don’t say anything else. The first thing you need is money.

However, after investing in a foreign shipyard a few years ago, their company has been in debt.

Revenue is getting lower every year, from 30 billion to 20 billion to 10 billion, until last year, revenue was less than 8 billion.

In addition to a series of costs and expenses, I didn’t make any money at all and lost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Although the overall value of the industry is tens of billions, it is now very difficult to deal with working capital.

This is like a villa, which is worth tens of millions of yuan, but before it is sold, it is still real estate and cannot become liquid capital.

In history, many companies have not had low industrial value, but they are very short of working capital. The lack of funds naturally leads to a slowdown in market expansion and a weakening of scientific research and innovation.

If this continues, no matter how brilliant the company is, it will eventually be carried to the execution ground of bankruptcy.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Bai Liangwei and his wife were also worried. Today, they came to Xie Zhengtao's house and said it was a New Year greeting. In fact, the main purpose was to seek help.

Because the bank does not lend, now only Xie Zhengtao can help them.

"It's already so difficult?" Xie Zhengtao frowned slightly.

"Yes, brother-in-law."

"What are you going to do?"

Bai Liangwei corrected his body and said, "Brother-in-law, there is only one way to change the current situation of our company, that is, scientific research and innovation."

"Well, now the country is vigorously supporting scientific research and innovation. Your path is right." Xie Zhengtao nodded.

"But... scientific research requires money, and our company's current working capital is not enough..." Bai Liangwei said.

Xie Zhengtao said: "Longwei, do you mean that you want to borrow money from you through my approval?"

Bai Liangwei and Zhang Lian's eyes shone in front of them and they hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, we have the only one to rely on you now. I hope you can help us."

"How much do you want?" Xie Zhengtao asked.

"Not much, only 3 billion is enough..."

"Three billion? No, it's too much, I... can't help you." Xie Zhengtao shook his head regretfully.

"Brother-in-law..." Bai Liangwei and his wife were anxious.

"Zhengtao, Liangwei and A Lian are not outsiders, can you not bring back the officialdom?" At this time, Xie Zhengtao's wife walked out of the kitchen and said, "When A Lian and the others were in trouble and made political achievements, they did a lot of efforts to help you. You can watch their company step by step into the abyss without pulling them?"

Xie Zhengtao said seriously: "After so many years, you still don't know what kind of person I am? As early as last year, it was okay to say, but recently some black sheep appeared in the system. Several reasons for being double-regulated are that they abuse their power to pave the way for relatives."

"Three billion? This is a huge sum of money. If they are really approved and someone will catch the handle, not only will I be unlucky, but their company will also be implicated."

Speaking of this, seeing the sad expression of Bai Liangwei and his wife, Xie Zhengtao sighed again: "Let's do this, it's impossible to have 3 billion yuan. After the New Year, I'll ask someone to say hello. Banks with 400 million yuan or 50 million yuan are still accurate."

"Brother-in-law, 400 million or 500 million is not as good as..." The innovative research of the shipbuilding industry is not as good as ordinary technology.

Four or five hundred million? Not even enough to plug the teeth.

Zhang Lian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her husband, and gave her a wink, indicating that she should not be more greedy.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became a bit depressing.
