"My god, are we really in debt by a trillion?"
After reviewing the original host's memories, Ding Yun immediately realized that this mission was not going to be easy. She muttered a few words and then pinned her hopes on her new golden finger.
She immediately started to check it.
Then she discovered that this time the golden finger was a card.
It was called the "Multitude of Wealth, Multitude of Billions Card."
The description of this card was quite rousing and exciting, like a low-quality web game advertisement.
No, it was even more impressive than a low-quality web game advertisement.
Generally speaking, low-quality web game advertisements would at most offer "one-click level 999" or "a billion gold coins at the start." However, the description of this Multitude of Wealth, Multitude of Billions Card stated, "A thousand billion at the start." If Ding Yun didn't know that this thing was her golden finger, and that she was indeed an outsider, she might have thought she had encountered a scam message.
[Multitude of Wealth, Multitude of Billions Card]
"Starts with one hundred billion in cash flow, ensuring a worry-free life and the luxurious experience of being born in Rome."
"Note: To ensure the stability of the financial order in various time and space, this one hundred billion will be exchanged for gold by professionals from the central banks of various countries. The source of funds is limited to a gift, and the procedure is legal, the process is legal. Cardbinders do not need to worry and can use it directly."
"Note: The amount in this card must be spent within one year, except for direct donations and waste. There are no other restrictions."
[Note: This card does not bear any consequences, such as being robbed, self-degeneration, indulgence, etc.]
"Are the golden fingers so direct now? They know that money power is also a superpower, so they directly give money. But I remember that similar golden fingers in the previous generation had many restrictions, and they only gave tens of thousands slowly at the beginning. Why does this feel like they are giving it all at once and then abandoning it?"
"But under normal circumstances, so much money is enough for a person to use for a lifetime, unless the price of living inflates to thirty million for a fried dough stick. No, if the price of living inflates to thirty million for a fried dough stick, then the debt owed by the original host's family should not be considered outrageous, right?"
"Sigh, what's the point of thinking about these things? Let's first see what's going on."
After reading the specific effects and usage restrictions of the golden finger, Ding Yun muttered and complained for a bit, then temporarily put the card away. She immediately stood up and began to understand the original host's family situation, mainly to understand the current debt situation.
And then, it's really better not to check. The result was startling.
She didn't even need to carefully examine the debts. Just by looking at the legal representative and owner of her family's current group, Ding Yun knew that the rumors on the internet were probably nine out of ten true.
This was because the owner of the group had just been changed two days ago.
It had been changed to the original host.
It should be known that before this, the owner of their family's group had always been the original host's father and mother. Even their parents had warned the original host long ago that she should not even think about the family's group shares, as they would all be left to her younger brother. At most, she would be given some cash and some properties, and she should not hope for anything else.
Given this past history, if the group still had any chance of being saved, her parents would never have done this.
So the original host's guess might be true. Her parents had really handed this huge mess over to her and fled with the family's cash, jewelry, and other items.
Where they fled to was hard to say.
Anyway, they didn't take her with them.
At this point, although Ding Yun was a little flustered, she wasn't completely panicked, because she hadn't yet investigated their family's specific debts and mortgage situation. So, she naturally continued to investigate further, calling up all the financial information of the company, calculating it bit by bit, and understanding the truth.
To avoid being disturbed, Ding Yun specifically turned off her phone and disconnected the communication network.
After more than three hours, Ding Yun finally managed to calculate the original host's family's debts. Then, she completely lost hope and collapsed on the ground, unwilling to struggle.
It was truly, everywhere was debt.
The undeveloped land they bought was mortgaged for loans. The land they bought, had started developing, but hadn't started selling houses, was also mortgaged for loans.
The houses that were developed but not sold were mortgaged. Even some houses that had been sold but not fully handed over were mortgaged.
The company's office building was also mortgaged.
Ding Yun looked carefully. Her family was said to have assets worth a trillion, but now only the villa she was living in was not mortgaged. However, if the first loan of thirty billion due the day after tomorrow couldn't be repaid, even this villa wouldn't survive.
And this was only the debt owed to banks.
The money owed from financing, the money owed from corporate bonds, engineering costs, etc., were not even included.
The reason was simple: blind expansion, blind land acquisition, blind construction. If the real estate market could maintain the popularity of previous years, they might have been able to hold on. But the problem was that the peak had passed.
There were no longer so many essential needs and hot money.
Houses couldn't be sold, money couldn't be recovered, and loans couldn't be repaid. They could only try to make ends meet by borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. But now, Peter's wall had been dismantled, and Paul's wall hadn't been fixed yet. The south wall had also collapsed. What could be done?
All self-rescue methods had been tried, but they couldn't be saved.
Therefore, the original host's parents could only run away before the last wall on the north completely collapsed.
As for why they only left the original host behind?
If they didn't leave anyone, could they have run?
They had raised her for so many years. Marriage alliances were no longer useful. Leaving her behind to take the blame would not be a waste of the money they had spent.
Adding up all their family's external debts, it wasn't actually a trillion, just over nine hundred and ten billion.
This number was increasing by one hundred million in interest every day.
If they held on for another two months, including overdue penalties, it would probably reach a trillion.
It was precisely because she calculated such a large number that Ding Yun felt a sense of despair and didn't want to struggle. At this time, although the Multitude of Wealth, Multitude of Billions Card, which gave one hundred billion at the start, was useful, its effect was not as great as she had imagined. Compared to this, Ding Yun would rather have a "currency devaluation card."
If the currency could drop to thirty million for a fried dough stick, wouldn't this amount of money be much easier to repay?
Unfortunately, this was just a pipe dream. If that were to happen, it would probably lead to a complete collapse of order.
Just as Ding Yun was thinking of lying down for a while longer, to recover herself, and then consider whether to run away with the one hundred billion or reluctantly stay and see if she could save the group, there was a very loud and numerous knocking at the villa door. Before she could react and decide whether to open the door, it suddenly collapsed with a bang.
A group of people swarmed in, numerous and diverse. There were managers, secretaries, and assistants from the group, as well as people from banks and other related creditors.
As soon as they entered, they all started asking where Shi Taolin was.
Shi Taolin was the original host's father.
