Chapter 103: Selling

After hanging up the phone with Lin Zhenbang, Chen Cheng immediately called Shen Luning.

I don’t know any reliable financial person, but Shen Luning definitely does.

Besides, he already needed to borrow money from Shen Luning, and he didn't intend to hide this matter from her, so he might as well ask her for more help.

As soon as Shen Luning answered the call, she asked in a delicate voice, "Why did you think of calling me?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Sister Ning, didn't I tell you before that I had a small project to work on? Do you remember?"

Shen Luning said, "I remember. What's the matter? Do you need money?"

Chen Cheng said, "I'm going to need the money soon, but not yet. My most urgent task right now is to find a financial expert who knows about corporate auditing to help me review the company's accounts. If there are no problems or risks with the company's accounts, I'll be ready to take it over. Then I'll have to ask Sister Ning to lend me the one million."

Shen Luning asked him in surprise: "You said you wanted to do a small project, so you wanted to acquire someone else's company?"

"correct."

Chen Cheng said truthfully: "I've taken a fancy to a taxi company that has a batch of taxi quotas, and I want to take them."

"Taxi company?!"

Shen Luning felt it was incredible.

She couldn't help but say, "If you took over a bar, disco, or restaurant, I think it would be understandable. After all, you have a great business sense and can always come up with some creative ideas. But starting a taxi company is not suitable for you to use your strengths."

At this point, she couldn't help but remind Chen Cheng: "Brother, you have a good start in the wild, but don't go astray!"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Sister Ning, I bought the taxi company not to run it, but to speculate on the taxi index. The index price has fallen so much now that I think it's almost bottomed out, so I plan to buy at the bottom. If the index market recovers, I can cash out and leave!"

Shen Luning asked doubtfully, "Can this really make money?"

Chen Cheng said seriously, "Sister Ning, since the price has bottomed out, there are only two possibilities: either it goes sideways or it goes up. There's no way you'll lose money."

Shen Luning thought for a moment and said, "I really don't understand this, but since you think there's hope, I won't make any random comments to interfere with your judgment."

Then she got to the point: "It's no problem for you to find an experienced financial officer. I can find a financial officer from our company to help you. It depends on when you need him. I'll coordinate with her and she'll arrange the time in advance."

Chen Cheng silently gave Shen Luning a thumbs up in his heart. He could tell that she really cared about him.

Moreover, she knew the limits very well, not saying too much and not asking too many questions.

After understanding the general situation, he did not express any opinions and directly started to solve his own demands. Everything was just right.

Since she has professional financial experts here, Chen Cheng plans to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if it really drags on until after National Day, once people from Wencheng come to Jiangcheng and buyers start to accumulate shares, the market will immediately start to rise, and it will be too late by then.

So he said to Shen Luning, "How about this, Sister Ning? Ask the finance department to find time to go to Yujia Lake at noon tomorrow. Then give her my cell phone number and ask her to contact me when she gets there."

"it is good."

Shen Luning agreed immediately and asked him, "Sister, can you come with us? I don't have anything to do at noon anyway. I can drive our finance department over there."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "That's great!"

Shen Luning smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'll call you tomorrow at noon when I get to Yujia Lake."

Chen Cheng hurriedly said, "Sister, there's one more thing I need your help with. Why don't you just help me out?"

Shen Luning smiled cheerfully and said, "Tell me, I'll see if I can help you."

Chen Cheng asked her, "Sister Ning, do you know anyone who deals in used cars, or knows how to appraise them? If so, I'd like to ask him to help appraise a batch of used taxis tomorrow at noon to see what the approximate price is. And by the way, I won't do the appraisal for free; I'll pay him the market price."

Shen Luning smiled and said, "That's easy. I have a good sister whose family runs a used car market. I asked her to find one. Just say hello and it will be fine. It doesn't cost any money."

After that, he asked him again, "Is the assessment also going to Yujia Lake tomorrow at noon?"

"Correct!"

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Ning! I'll treat you to a big meal later!"

Shen Luning said, "Of course I'll treat you, but I'll have to wait until you make some money."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Ning." After hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng felt emotional. Even though Shen Luning keeps calling her younger brother "younger brother" every day, when it comes to things, she really does it!
After finding the professional talent he needed, Chen Cheng deliberately waited until the evening to call Lin Zhenbang back, telling him to meet at his company tomorrow at noon to discuss the matter first.

Lin Zhenbang had been waiting for his call. When he heard that they would have a meeting tomorrow, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
-
The next day at noon, Chen Cheng left without even eating.

When he took a taxi to Yujia Lake, Shen Luning was almost there.

Chen Cheng told her the specific address for the meeting. A few minutes later, she drove over in the Toyota Vios with a middle-aged woman in her forties sitting in the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Shen Luning introduced him to the middle-aged woman. Her surname was Xu and she was the deputy financial director of their Lingzhou Pharmaceutical. She also had experience in auditing and was particularly suitable for doing the kind of thing Chen Cheng needed.

Chen Cheng was naturally very polite, calling her "Sister Xu" all the time and praising her so much that he couldn't stop smiling.

He brought the two of them to Lin Zhenbang's storefront. Lin Zhenbang personally opened the door to greet them, shook hands with Chen Cheng and said, "Brother, you are really punctual. My drivers haven't come back yet, but I told them to be back within 20 minutes. They also need to eat lunch. I will park all the cars outside and you can just let them watch."

Chen Cheng asked him, "Brother Lin, have your finance and used car appraisers arrived?"

Lin Zhenbang said, "The finance department has arrived and is sitting inside. The appraisal guy said he's on his way and will be here soon on his motorcycle."

Sister Xu said, "Since the finance department is here, I'll start working first. It will save you a lot of trouble if I finish it quickly."

Chen Cheng quickly thanked her, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xu. What would you like to eat for lunch? How about I make arrangements in advance and we can go over and eat together later?"

Sister Xu smiled and said, "Lu Ning and I ate in the company cafeteria before we came out. We serve food early there."

After she finished speaking, she pointed inside the storefront and said, "I'll go in and get busy first, you guys chat."

Shen Luning pinched Chen Cheng's ear and said in a feigned dissatisfaction, "You are such a snob. When we met, instead of trying to curry favor with me, you just kept flattering Sister Xu. You better understand that I invited Sister Xu for you, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Chen Cheng quickly admitted his mistake: "Whether this succeeds or not, Sister Ning, you are the person I am most grateful to!"

During this short while, many taxis stopped at the door one after another.

These taxis all have the words "Jetong Taxi" sprayed on them, and they are all owned by Lin Zhenbang's company.

There were two young men on motorcycles, almost one after the other.

When the two people came, they looked at each other first, and then said to each other: Why are you here too?

Upon asking, I found out that these two people were brothers when they were apprentices in a used car dealership.

Seeing that the two of them knew each other, it was also a good thing for Chen Cheng and Lin Zhenbang. At least the price they gave would be more reasonable and fair, and they would not team up to favor one side.

So Chen Cheng quickly asked them to get busy, taking pen and paper, recording the license plates of each car, checking the condition of the car, and estimating the price.

Lin Zhenbang's batch of taxis are indeed outdated. At first glance, none of them are reliable.

The car in the newest condition was still three years away from being scrapped, but it turned out to be an accident car. It had sheet metal and paint repairs on the front, back, left and right sides, and even the water tank and hood had been repaired due to a rear-end collision.

Chen Cheng shook his head and said to Lin Zhenbang, "Brother Lin, considering the condition of your car, you can't rent it out for much money every month, right? Unless I'm in a hurry to go to the hospital, I won't stop this kind of car."

Lin Zhenbang smiled awkwardly and said, "The car wasn't in great condition to begin with. These drivers didn't take good care of it and didn't do timely maintenance, so it ended up in this condition."

Chen Cheng nodded and said a few words to let him know that his cars were not very good and he could just lower the price when quoting later, so he didn't say anything more.

He originally thought that it would take a long time for the finance department to settle the accounts, but he didn't expect that it would be done in just an hour or so.

After Sister Xu came out and said that, Chen Cheng finally understood that the finance and taxation of most companies these days are not formal at all.

All the rental income from the cars under Lin Zhenbang's control goes directly into his personal pocket. The company also levies a fixed amount of tax. It is a fixed amount of money every month, and you just have to pay it. There is no checking at all, so the accounts are very simple.

The company's biggest assets are these 40 cars. As long as we go to the vehicle management office to confirm that these cars are not mortgaged, there is basically nothing else to worry about.

After the financials were completed, the evaluation of the forty cars was almost complete.

Two people evaluated together, each standing on one side, so the price was negotiated by the two of them. Chen Cheng chose one of the cars and asked about their valuation logic. He felt that the price was fair.

The main reason is that this batch of cars are really not worth much. After two people calculated, the average price is only more than 6,000 yuan.

So Chen Cheng pulled Lin Zhenbang aside and said, "Brother Lin, I'm not going to argue with you any more. These forty cars are priced at an average of 6,000 yuan each. Once I get them, I can only rent them out for three months. After the end of the year, they won't be able to be put on the road for operation. Even if they're in good condition, they'll only be driven for two or three years before being scrapped. They won't fetch much money at all."

Lin Zhenbang had originally thought that this matter might drag on for many days, but unexpectedly, all the preparatory issues were resolved in one afternoon. He couldn't help but pursue the feeling of getting it done in one go and getting it done quickly, so he simply said, "Okay, the price is 51,000 yuan per unit, all for you!"
