Inside the Haiyin Farm in Nanzhouzhou, H Country.
Since Shi Taolin's entire family moved in, they hadn't dared to stop paying attention to the situation in the country. However, they didn't dare to use any secret channels to find out the specific internal situation of the company, only daring to check the trending news.
This was to understand the extent of the situation's development.
This farm was not absolutely safe either.
If the situation became too dire,
Their entire family would consider relocating again.
However, the reality was that the more they paid attention to the situation in the country, the more confused they became about the current state of affairs.
They even started arguing internally.
"Shi Taolin, what on earth is going on?
Didn't you say the group was completely unable to hold on, and would collapse within half a month at the latest? How is it that after a month under Jia Li's management, it's still fine?
Is it because you're too useless,
Or is Jia Li too capable? Huh!"
"Now that such a huge family fortune has been given to her, what will happen to Aihua? Will he always have to stay with us, hiding in this small farm? Are you even human?"
"What exactly is going on? You must explain it to me. Don't keep brushing me off with 'wait a couple more days, wait a couple more days, and the group will definitely collapse!'"
Half a month ago, Xu Jinhong was still relatively calm and didn't think her husband's predictions were wrong. But as days went by and the Shi Group still showed no signs of bankruptcy, she could no longer remain patient.
After all, if the Shi Group didn't go bankrupt,
Their previous actions would seem like a joke.
And they had given such a large family fortune to their daughter.
They were hiding like stray dogs.
So, after another half a month, Xu Jinhong could no longer hold back and angrily accused her husband,
Demanding an explanation.
If the Shi Group had truly gone bankrupt as her husband had said, she might only feel relieved, glad about their correct choice, and think her husband was wise.
But since the situation was not like that, she only felt deceived. She shouldn't have done this; she deserved a better life than constantly staying in this farm.
This stark contrast made her extremely distressed.
"You ask me, who do I ask?
Weren't you fully aware of the group's financial situation back then? Do you dare say you don't know how much debt we had? Besides, you also agreed to the decision to transfer the entire group to Jia Li.
What are you throwing a tantrum about now?
It's as if everything was a conspiracy between me and Jia Li, and we did it intentionally. Do you think that's possible?"
"All the remaining cash flow in the group was drained by me. Logically, without any new cash flow injection, she couldn't have lasted even a week, let alone a month.
But she has indeed lasted a month.
And we dare not make a phone call to ask for details.
What do you want me to do?"
Xu Jinhong was in a bad mood, but was Shi Taolin's mood any better? Not only was he in a terrible mood, but he also felt a sense of unease, a fear stemming from his lack of understanding of the situation and his loss of control.
He had no idea what his daughter was up to.
How did she manage to keep the group afloat until now?
He even suspected it might be a trap, a ploy to lure him back so he could be controlled.
And so, they erupted into an argument.
Soon, it wasn't just the two of them arguing; their son also joined in, believing that if their parents hadn't been too cowardly, the situation wouldn't be like this. He even started demanding to go back, using the excuse of invalid gift to reclaim the group.
As the argument escalated, both Xu Jinhong and her son were tempted to return. However, Shi Taolin, being cautious, adamantly refused to go back.
He finally managed to calm them down,
Asking them to wait a few more months.
Whether they would listen or not, it was hard to say for now.
Meanwhile, speaking of Ding Yun.
She had indeed taken a massive hit recently.
First, ten billion for stability, then thirty billion for loan repayment, plus over ten billion in maturing bonds.
The cash in the "Multi-Billion Card"
Had been more than halved.
However, Ding Yun was well aware that the money in her card was hers, and the group's money was the group's. So, her money wasn't directly used by the group. The ten billion for stability was considered an investment, and the over ten billion in maturing bonds was treated as a direct purchase of bonds.
This meant that this debt was acquired by Ding Yun personally.
From the group owing bondholders to the group owing Ding Yun.
Now that the group couldn't repay, Ding Yun wasn't in urgent need of the money, so it could only remain as a debt for now.
As for the thirty billion bank loan, it was also considered an investment by Ding Yun personally to redeem the loan. However, since the Shi Group had no cash flow to repay, an internal arrangement was made. The result was that the properties mortgaged to the bank for the original thirty billion loan were directly transferred to Ding Yun as repayment.
This meant that Ding Yun's money was unlikely to be recovered, but she gained properties worth over thirty billion.
These could be sold slowly to raise funds,
Or they could be rented out as fixed assets.
With these debts resolved, not only had the reputation of the entire Shi Group improved significantly, but the group itself had also gained about three months of breathing room. As long as they could find a way to recover another sum of funds within these three months,
They could continue to survive for a while longer.
Of course, this was all under the condition of not expanding further,
And not encountering any new problems.
The reason this was possible was not because Ding Yun was exceptionally capable, nor was she necessarily more skilled than Shi Taolin. The root cause was that Ding Yun had a large amount of liquid capital. Without this liquid capital, it would be impossible to revitalize the stagnant Shi Group.
Even if a supreme deity came, without external help, they couldn't save the mess that was Shi Group.
Ding Yun was not only aware of this, but she was also acutely aware that the current Shi Group could only be considered barely saved and was still far from healthy and sustainable development. Moreover, she had no intention of painstakingly restoring the group.
The original owner had only requested that it not go bankrupt,
Not that it must maintain its original scale!
Furthermore, considering the actions of the original owner's parents, Ding Yun couldn't imagine them as benevolent individuals.
She also didn't believe her parents had any sense of shame.
If she truly revived and restored the group, who knew how many more troubles would await her then? That's why Ding Yun didn't directly inject money when investing, but instead arranged investments, bond purchases, and demanded properties as collateral for loan repayments. This was precisely to guard against her parents,
To prevent them from benefiting.
However, this also brought another problem: after acquiring properties worth over thirty billion, these properties also needed management. So, she specially opened a new company and poached some people from the original Shi Group to help her run it.
Her intention was already very clear: to use the one hundred billion cash flow that had to be spent within a year from the "Multi-Billion Card" to hollow out the Shi Group.
To build a group that belonged entirely to her.
This way, she could not only quickly own a company entirely for herself but also poach all the talented individuals she deemed capable, thus avoiding offending people by firing them.
The remaining shell of the company with no debt, and a pile of employees she didn't think much of, could then be left to her parents, who might return. Wouldn't that be wonderful!
Even so,
Ding Yun still felt she was at a loss.
After all, besides her, who else could come up with one hundred billion to keep such a huge mess as the Shi Group afloat,
And clear its debts without going bankrupt!
