Chapter 246 False Signal
This company is currently in dire straits, suffering from common ailments of many old mainland enterprises, such as chaotic management, bloated personnel, and excessive debt ratios.
Taking advantage of this financing opportunity, it can be overhauled drastically.
Part of the two billion yuan raised will be used for employee resettlement, so there's no reason to hold up the approval of the financing and restructuring plan.
With his many years in business, it's impossible that Old Su only wants to finance without managing.
Once the controlling stake exceeds 40%, the power to make decisions will shift to the Su family, so Su Yehao isn't worried about the deal.
There will definitely be troubles, but there will also be opportunities to resolve them properly. The wave of layoffs up north is in full swing, and laid-off workers can get full compensation, bought out according to their length of service, which is already pretty good.
In addition, once the financing and restructuring is finalized, the number of laid-off workers won't be too large. The main focus will be on clearing out those who take the money and do nothing, or those who like to slack off at work.
Overall, the goal will be to expand production capacity and provide more employment opportunities.
This is also one of the reasons why the work team in Fochuan readily accepted Sihai International's financing.
Since it hasn't been completely finalized yet, Su Yehao's mind isn't focused on this matter for the time being.
After returning home from the Daxian Temple, he drove to the vicinity of the Senado Square, sat in the office with Yin Liuli, and used the computer to search for news about the Donghuang Group.
You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.
According to a news report, the Donghuang Group has borrowed a total of more than 16 billion from banks in the past three years, with total assets of approximately 24 billion, and is continuing to shrink as Hong Kong's real estate market plummets.
After a quick search, Su Yehao discovered that recent related reports mainly focused on negative news. Some institutions predict that Donghuang Group's overall losses last year will be between 1 billion and 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Combining all kinds of news.
It can only be said that the Donghuang Group's situation is very worrying, and it is quite precarious.
Yin Liuli sat next to him and, after reading it, peeled an orange for Su Yehao while curiously asking:
"Donghuang Group, I remember you used to study at Donghuang Rose Middle School. Do you know anyone from this company? Was it that very pretty girl who went to the third-floor bar last time? You even went to talk to her, short hair, big eyes, studying in London."
She actually remembers so clearly.
Su Yehao looked at her without showing any emotion.
Seeing that Yin Liuli's expression was calm, and he couldn't tell if she was jealous or anything, he also put on a business-like posture and replied:
"Yes, the eldest daughter of the Donghuang Group is an alumna from the same class as me. I happened to run into her and her parents when I accompanied my dad to burn incense and worship Buddha today. No wonder they were worried; it turns out the company is encountering problems."
"Is it related to your family's business?" Yin Liuli asked.
Su Yehao first shook his head, then nodded, and told her:
"The Pengcheng Cultural Tourism City project has an investment of 200 million RMB from the Donghuang Group, accounting for 5% of the shares, which barely counts as a cooperative relationship. We all make a living in this place and live in Casino, so we often deal with each other, and the two families are quite familiar."
Yin Liuli asked casually and didn't take it to heart.
Su Yehao continued to browse the news on the computer. After having a good understanding of the situation, he checked the stock price of Yahoo. It has been fluctuating around $60 in recent days, which is basically stable.
On the other hand, the stock prices of real estate companies listed in Hong Kong have been falling in recent months, and the decline is quite alarming.
Looking at it this way, Sihai International, whose business is steadily growing, is already a lucky one among many unlucky companies. Although its assets have also shrunk to some extent, it's far from being seriously injured.
After having a general idea of Zhao Yimeng's family's situation, Su Yehao thought about taking some time to go to Sihai International's headquarters to learn more about the details of the Meidi Group financing project.
The amount involved in financing Meidi Group is enough to make it impossible for Su Yehao to stay out of it. He is considering how to help and come up with a reliable development plan.
Just as he was thinking seriously, Yin Liuli suddenly said:
"By the way, my stomach hurts a bit today. My period was due ten days ago, but it still hasn't come. I don't know if it's because I caught a cold."
Upon hearing this, Su Yehao's heart was shocked.
The first thing he thought of was pregnancy. He subconsciously tensed up and tentatively asked, "Has this happened before? Could it be that..."
Knowing what he was thinking, Yin Liuli was also thinking about the same question.
She frowned and recalled for a moment, saying, "Once it was delayed for more than half a month, mainly because the pressure of exams and school was too great. It was fine after the exams. But I don't have any pressure now, and a ten-day delay is rare. Should I go to the hospital?"
"...Then what are we waiting for? I'll take you to the pharmacy now to buy a pregnancy test kit. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"It was delayed first, and then I knew it was delayed. How could I tell you earlier about this?" Yin Liuli said helplessly, asking him in return.
Su Yehao immediately got up and walked out. He came to the door, turned around, and asked, "Do you have a hat and a mask? I've never bought that stuff. It's quite embarrassing. Otherwise, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the pharmacy, and then take you back to the apartment to test?"
"You're the culprit, so you should do the embarrassing things. I'll wait for you outside the pharmacy."
Yin Liuli said softly, frowning slightly, and tentatively asked, "What if there really is a baby? Do we want it then? I'm not prepared at all, and I guess you aren't either."
After thinking for a moment, Su Yehao came to a negative conclusion.
His mind told him that he didn't want a child in the short term, but if he had one early, as long as he hired a nanny to help take care of it, it wouldn't have a big impact on his current life, as long as Xiao Nizi and Nong Qingying didn't find out.
He replied guiltily, "It's too early to talk about this now. We don't even know if you're pregnant yet. It's probably just a hormonal imbalance."
Yin Liuli also didn't want to have a child too early. Her face was full of worry as she said, "I hope I'm not pregnant. Giving birth is so scary. Wouldn't I have to push a stroller around all day then..."
Finding a pharmacy, Su Yehao quickly checked out, even without taking the change, mixing the pregnancy test kit with cold medicine and cotton swabs.
The two rushed to the apartment building, and after letting Yin Liuli test according to the instructions, they waited patiently for a while and found that there was only one line.
It was indeed just a false alarm.
Su Yehao breathed a sigh of relief, and Yin Liuli also smiled.
Realizing that his attitude was wrong, Su Yehao explained:
"Liuli, I want to have a child with you, but we're still too young now. Don't think that I don't want to take responsibility, it's just that if we suddenly have a child, it will have a big impact on our lives, and it will be difficult to adapt for a while."
Yin Liuli said with a smile:
"I didn't think too much about it. I was also worried about what to do if I suddenly got pregnant. Let's talk about it later. I was worried for two or three days, and the big stone in my heart has finally fallen..."
