Lu Yang had already revealed this to Xiao Jun before.

The Little Prodigy learning machine is selling extremely well this year, with it winning the bid on CCTV and having a strong product placement in the movie “Super School Overlord”.

Its popularity among the people has been fully increased.

Since it has a high degree of recognition among the general public, naturally if there are children at home and you want to buy a learning machine for them, then this brand will definitely be the first choice.

But how popular is it?

Since I was only a small shareholder, I invested without taking it seriously and focused my attention on other projects with larger investments.

For example, Hainan real estate projects.

This was what he thought was the most popular project at the time and the one that made money the fastest.

But he didn’t know that this project would fail and he lost all his family fortune. Now, this last bit of asset is the most insignificant project that he cared the least about and invested in casually.

“Little prodigy” Lu Yang is the major shareholder, holding a 73% stake.

Xiao Jun holds 15% and Mou Qizhong holds 12%, and both are absolute minority shareholders.

Not involved in any management.

The current management of the factory are all Lu Yang’s people. They only need to be responsible to Lu Yang and the group head office. The financial reports only need to be submitted to the President’s Office of the New Century Group under Lu Yang’s name. If Lu Yang does not take the initiative to disclose the true financial situation of the factory to them, and they do not find someone to check the accounts, then they naturally have no way of knowing.

“Um, Brother Lu, am I alone? Do you want to invite Brother Mou as well?”

Since Xiao Jun gave half of his shares in the real estate company in Hainan to Mou Qizhong, the relationship between the two has improved.

Even if they lose money, friends have to continue doing it. Without direct conflict of interest and without having to be on guard against each other, they can be more relaxed.

Lu Yang said, “I’m afraid he doesn’t have time. Although you have admitted defeat now, you have climbed out of the pit, but Brother Mou is still in the pit. After taking over your thousands of houses, the pressure will only be greater than before. Don’t you have to keep an eye on him all the time?”

Three or four thousand houses were worth at least 20 billion yuan in fixed assets in the past. If they were divided equally between two people, they could easily get 10 billion yuan. And this is not a capital figure. If it was during the peak of Hainan’s real estate boom, they could have used these houses as secondary mortgages and easily taken out a few hundred million yuan for other investments, which would have been absolutely easy.

In other words, if the situation at that time had continued, as long as the Hainan real estate bubble could have collapsed one to two years later, they could have continued to do what they did, purely by piling up capital and spending money, and created their own business empire.

It’s a pity no.

That’s right, it collapsed in the end, and it collapsed extremely quickly. Even with Lu Yang’s reminder, it still caught the two of them off guard.

The fixed assets of more than 2 billion yuan have dropped by six-sevenths, and no one wants the remaining one-seventh…

They can only be broken into pieces and then packaged and sold.

Or just hold on.

Of the two paths, Xiao Jun chose the former. He had no other choice. He couldn’t hold on even if he wanted to. He didn’t have the strength, so he could only admit defeat and be eliminated.

Mou Qizhong chose the latter. After Xiao Jun sold half of the company’s property rights to him at a discounted price, he made a profit.

I got a complete and clean real estate company, which, although it has hit rock bottom, is still worth four or five hundred million yuan.

He owns three or four thousand houses, and has no mortgages. Even though these houses are no longer worth much and have fallen to six-sevenths of their original value, they are still difficult to sell because the market is still in panic.

But what if you boil it?

What if there is no rush to use the money for fixed asset investment?

This is Mou Qizhong’s current strategy. He does not ask for the housing price to go back up in a short period of time, from 1000 yuan per square meter to 7000 yuan or even 10000 yuan per square meter. As long as it can go back to half of the original price, which is to yuan per square meter, he can definitely make back his previous losses and make an extra profit.

Is there anything wrong with this idea?
No problem.

But he may have underestimated the impact of Hainan’s real estate bubble on Hainan’s real estate industry and the market’s confidence in the recovery of housing prices.

If investors have no confidence and ordinary people are hesitant to move forward, how can housing prices recover or rise again?

Of course, Lu Yang didn’t dare to laugh at him.

Because Lu Yang is a reborn person and can see this, if he is not a reborn person, he may not be able to see this, and maybe he would also start to buy Hainan’s housing prices at the bottom like this old man Mou, buy thousands of houses, and then hold on to them, waiting for them to appreciate in value.

such a pity!
If this happens, all the funds will be trapped. At least in the next five years, don’t expect these houses to appreciate in value, and don’t expect to make a fortune with them.

Xiao Jun was quite optimistic: “Hey, if you say so, then I have to give Brother Mou a call. He has taken advantage of me quite a bit this time. As long as he can hold on, once this bubble is over and the housing prices pick up, won’t he make a fortune?”

“Grass.”

“I just really have no other choice. Otherwise, I would have endured it too. Brother Lu, do you believe me?”

Lu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him.

“If you want to invite him along, then just give him a call. I don’t mind. The Q3 financial report is out, so let’s get together and discuss how much money to spend on expanding production, and whether to invest the remaining profits in research and development, build a branch factory, or use it for dividends at the end of the year. When you call Brother Mou later, you two should discuss it together first.”

The total product profits of “Little Prodigy” in the three quarters are definitely not small, and are expected to be a huge number. So how should this money be spent?

Lu Yang had some ideas.

But it still needs the consent of these two guys. They are both short of money now, but Lu Yang is not short of money.

Can a major shareholder who has no shortage of cash and two small shareholders who are so short of money that they are almost desperate reach a consensus on the company’s future strategy?

“I guess Brother Mou is not short of money, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to spend several hundred million to buy houses and wait for appreciation. I guess it all depends on Xiao Jun in the end. Xiao Jun doesn’t even have the funds to make a comeback now. His quality of life has plummeted. He sold his villa and his wife went back to her parents’ home. The house he lives in now belongs to his sister. If I tell him that there will be no dividends at the end of the year, will he be furious?”

Lu Yang shook his head.

It feels a bit interesting. The opportunity is given to this kid. It depends on what choice he will make next.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang received a call from Mou Qizhong before the afternoon.

It seems that Xiao Jun is very efficient in his work.

reason?

At this time, Mou Qizhong has already got off the plane and arrived in Pengcheng. What do you think?

Lu Yang smiled into the phone and said, “Brother, why didn’t you call me in advance so that I could pick you up at the airport? Oh, Xiao Jun should be here, right? Give him the phone number. I’ll scold him for not telling me.”

Mou Qizhong also laughed on the phone and said, “Brother Lu, it’s unreasonable for you to blame me. You didn’t even inform me yourself when you had good news, and you asked Brother Xiao to inform me…Okay, okay, don’t come to pick me up at the airport, just stay at home with your wife. Brother Xiao and I are going to get drunk tonight, so you don’t have to come if you don’t want to drink… Well, let’s wait until tomorrow, and tomorrow the three of us will get together. By the way, I also want to hear how amazing the Q3 report of the factory of the little prodigy that you handed in, brother Lu, is, hahaha…”

Lu Yang didn’t take being teased through the phone line seriously.

“Okay then, I won’t come out. I’ll let Brother Mou go to that kid Xiao Jun tonight. Don’t drink too much, we have some serious business to discuss tomorrow.”

hang up the phone.

Lu Yang lowered his head and cursed with a smile: “Damn it, there must be a traitor. Otherwise, I’m going to quit drinking for a month to prepare for pregnancy. How come this news has spread to even someone named Mou knows about it?”

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and didn’t take it seriously.

After he finished laughing and scolding, he stood up and prepared to leave the office that the company group headquarters had arranged for him as the chairman.

Nothing else, just preparing to leave work early.

“Dong dong dong…”

Lu Yang, who had just thought of running away, hadn’t even reached the door when the door was knocked.

Xu Siqi was dressed in a slightly mature manner, wearing a black suit with a plaid shirt underneath, which was tightly tied at the waist. She wore a black straight skirt that went all the way to two inches above her knees. Unfortunately, she was not wearing black stockings below, but pure flesh-colored stockings. She was wearing a pair of black high heels, “tick-tock,” and walked up to Lu Yang holding a folder.

“Chairman, here are some documents that need your signature.”

Lu Yang coughed twice in a serious manner.

He walked back to his desk, sat down, took the document, glanced at it, turned to the last few pages, and then quickly signed his name.

Affix the official seal.

Close the file.

While handing it to the other party, he said flatteringly: “Are there any more? If so, bring it over quickly. If not, can I leave work now?”

Xu Siqi covered her mouth and laughed.

He stared at Lu Yang and said, “Chairman, is there something wrong with you? Look at the way you sit. Are you in such a hurry to get off work early and go home to accompany Sister Mingyue?”

Lu Yang’s face turned serious: “Who are you talking to? Am I the chairman, or are you the chairman? You can’t tell the difference between the big and small Wang, right?”

Xu Siqi glared at him, but puffed out her chest and said, “Chairman, I’m not afraid of you. You left work early, which is considered leaving early. I’m your secretary, and I have the obligation to remind you. You said so yourself. You have to go to get off work and leave on time within this month.”

Lu Yang glared at them, and the two of them just stared at each other.

“Ok.”

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze, then sat down on the boss chair with no desire to live and said, “You win, go out, leave me alone, I want to be alone.”

Xu Siqi pouted, stood still, and carefully observed Lu Yang’s expression.

Seeing Lu Yang closed his eyes.

Pretending to be asleep and not getting angry at her anymore, he just stuck out his tongue.

I thought to myself: It seems that the stinky boss knows that it is his fault. Hehe, now I can explain to Sister Wei Shu.

It turned out that Wei Shu had instructed her to keep Lu Yang in the company until the end of get off work every day before letting him go back. Otherwise, given the boss’s temper, he would probably be unable to sit still and would want to leave early. If this went on for a long time, the company’s headquarters would be in chaos before she could even finish her confinement.

Xu Siqi stuck out her tongue and said cautiously, “Boss, how about I make you a cup of coffee?”

She also knew that doing this might make Lu Yang unhappy, so she thought of ways to please Lu Yang.

Lu Yang closed his eyes and waved his hand, “No, I said I want to be quiet, don’t talk, let me sleep for a while, and when you need my stamp tool for signing, you can wake me up, OK?”

Look, he calls himself a stamp tool. It seems that he is really bored in the company these days.

Even Xu Siqi began to feel some sympathy for him.

I stood there blankly, staring blankly at him lying on the boss chair opposite the desk, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Looking at this handsome face, she was a little dazed for a moment.

“Ding-a-ling-a-ling, jingle-a-ling-a-ling…”

Suddenly, the landline phone on the desk rang. Especially in this small space and quiet environment, the sound of the phone was particularly harsh.

Xu Siqi’s face tensed up, fearing that she might disturb the boss who had fallen asleep and whose breathing had evened out, she quickly stepped forward, pressed the office with one hand, raised her high-heeled shoes to the tiptoes, and reached out with the other hand to pick up the receiver from the landline.

After putting it to his ear, he covered the receiver and whispered, “Hello, this is the office of the chairman of New Century Group. I’m the chairman’s assistant. My last name is Xu. Who are you looking for?”

The voice on the phone was loud and clear: “I’m He Weijun.”

Xu Siqi was immediately startled, and hesitantly said while covering her novel, “Teacher, is there anything wrong?”

No wonder she was so nervous. This old man with a loud voice was not only her university tutor, but also an official of the Futian District under the jurisdiction of this city. Their company was also located in Futian District, including the group’s new headquarters, the New Century Building, which was under construction and would be known as the tallest building in Asia after completion.

He Weijun didn’t embarrass her, but just said on the phone: “Where’s your boss? I heard that he has been in the company recently. Can you let him answer the phone?”

Xu Siqi was still in trouble when the landline receiver in her hand was snatched away.

Lu Yang had already woken up and was holding the landline receiver that was originally in her hand. He said into the receiver: “It’s me. Secretary He, do you have any instructions?”

He Weijun got straight to the point on the phone: “Boss Lu, the city has decided to inspect your company. A deputy mayor will lead the team. I will accompany you. Please prepare…”

“…”

After Lu Yang hung up the phone, he looked up at Xu Shiqi across from him and said, “Since you’ve heard everything, why don’t you get ready?”

“Oh, right, help me find some recent newspapers, including those from Pengcheng, Yangcheng, and those reporting news from the entire Guangdong Province. Also, sort out some major events that have happened recently, and come to me to report later.”

Let the secretary go out and prepare the materials.

Lu Yang tapped his fingers on the desk in his office, again and again, with a thoughtful expression on his face…
