Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 200: Money Received! Car Pickup! (Second Update!)
"Oh dear, Mr. Ji, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping so early this morning."

"So it's President Ji."

At 9 a.m., Liu Jie saw Ji Shuangshuang appear at the bank entrance, took three steps to greet her, took the umbrella from her hands, and led the way, stepping aside.
"President Lin really doesn't care about people's feelings. In such heavy rain, he still made President Ji come out to handle business."

"Next time you need this kind of service, just call me directly and I'll come to your door."

Hearing Liu Jie repeat what he had just said, Ji Shuangshuang couldn't help but sigh:

"There's nothing we can do. Our CEO Lin is used to being decisive and efficient; he doesn't like to procrastinate."

"We, the people below, are just going to have to suffer a bit."

"It has also caused you, President Liu, to suffer."

Hearing these polite words, Liu Jie waved his hand repeatedly: "We won't suffer!"

“What suffering could we possibly endure? We’re not freezing in the rain, nor are we sweltering in the summer. This isn’t suffering for us.”

"this way please."

Liu Jie led Ji Shuangshuang to the VIP meeting room, lags behind by half a step, and waits for a while by the door.

After a few seconds, two staff members walked over.

The three exchanged glances, Liu Jie went into the meeting room, and the two staff members left.

We had only been sitting here for a short while, and before we could even exchange pleasantries, two staff members carried things into the VIP meeting room.

The person in front carried tea, while the person behind carried dried fruit and snacks.

After putting the two items down, the two quickly left the reception room, leaving it to Liu Jie and Ji Shuangshuang.

Reaching out, Ji Shuangshuang moved the dried fruit and tea on the table aside, placed her briefcase on the table, opened it, and took out two contracts and two sets of accounting documents, placing them on the table along with them:
"President Liu, please take a look. These are the contract and accounting documents for this transaction."

Liu Jie picked up the contract, placed his finger on it, and read through the text line by line.

The more he looked, the more confused he became.

He had two contracts in front of him.

One contract brought in $4 million, while the other brought in $3000 million.

The $4 million contract Lin Yi was selling involved a strange type of cable.

The contract specifies that this type of cable will be used at small airports built in mountainous areas.

At $20 each, the other party bought a total of 2000.

The total price is US$4 million, which is equivalent to RMB 27.3 billion at an exchange rate of 6.8267.

The other contract, with a total price of $3000 million, is the final payment.

It is the final payment for the purchase of a special battery material.

That translates to 2.04 million RMB.

The two contracts totaled 29.3 billion yuan.

As an employee of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the head of a branch, Liu Jie also had connections. According to his sources, Suzhou's GDP for 2009, which was still being tallied, was 7740 billion yuan.

That's the amount that tens of thousands of factories and millions of people in the city accumulated over a year.

But now, right in front of him, there is a company that has secured 29.34 billion yuan in cash with just two contracts!

This is simply beyond description.

As far as I know, besides this so-called cable and battery material, Xiaomi Heavy Industry has also ventured into the home appliance industry.

The bank can see a portion of the transaction history, and that portion can amount to tens or hundreds of millions.

Looking at these numbers, Liu Jie also felt a bit overwhelmed.

As the branch manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, he has seen far too many people this year, far too many people coming to apply for loans, and far too many people coming to apply for loan repayment extensions.

As soon as these people saw him, they would cry and complain that the market was bad this year, business was terrible, and they wanted to borrow a loan from the bank or ask the bank to postpone the loan repayment date.

He felt great sympathy for these people's plight and their requests, and then refused them.

And just before Ji Shuangshuang entered the room, he had seen off a loan applicant who was in the textile industry.

Liu Jie rejected the borrower's application for a loan.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, many processing plants were unable to sell their goods, leading to losses and the brink of bankruptcy.

Borrowing money at this time is like throwing money into the water.

But the two contracts in front of him made Liu Jie doubt whether he had made a mistake. In fact, the manufacturing industry is booming right now and it is very easy to make money.

Otherwise, these two contracts won't be clear!
In just a few months, Lin Yi's Xiaomi Heavy Industry earned more money than other factories could earn in several lifetimes.

This definitely means the manufacturing sector is recovering!
After closing the two contracts, Liu Jie leaned forward and asked, with a hint of probing:
"Mr. Ji, I'd like to ask if Mr. Lin's project still needs investment?"

"If there's a lack of investment, I can help bring in some."

Across from her, after Liu Jie's reminder, Ji Shuangshuang suddenly raised her hand, and then, under Liu Jie's gaze, opened her briefcase, took out a document, and placed it on the table:
"Mr. Liu, before the New Year you asked me if our company needed a loan."

“Our General Manager Lin has been quite busy and hasn’t been able to find the time.”

"Since the money came in this time, he thought he should take care of this matter."

"These are the loan documents. Please take a look. If possible, we hope to borrow around 2000 million."

Ji Shuangshuang's soft voice echoed gently in the small VIP reception room.

Hearing that gentle voice, Liu Jie didn't know how to respond.

They could only silently accept the loan documents and begin reviewing them from beginning to end.

With 29 billion yuan coming in soon, why would they care about a 2000 million yuan loan?
It's amazing!

No one knows whether Lin Yi did this to mock people, to show off, or simply because he didn't take it to heart.

Thinking about all this, Liu Jie couldn't help but lament his miserable fate.

If I had known Lin Yi was so promising, I shouldn't have gone straight to collect the debt back then. I should have invested more; maybe things would be different now…

No, I'm definitely living a better life than I am now.

It's a pity, it's all fate!
It's all fate!
Liu Jie closed the loan application documents, sighed, got up, and went out to get the relevant materials.

Outside the door, the two staff members who had served tea and snacks not long before were standing there. When they saw Liu Jie come out, they quickly handed him the documents.

After receiving the documents, Liu Jie instructed, "Go and get a set of loan documents."

"Huh?" The two staff members were stunned and didn't move.

The two looked at each other and saw the word "outrageous" in each other's eyes.

Who is this kind-hearted person who just made over 2000 billion and still needs to take out a loan of 20 million?

Seeing their expression, Liu Jie quickly explained:

“I asked them to help me boost my loan performance before, but they didn’t have time to do it. Now that they have time, they decided to help me boost my performance.”

After hearing the explanation, the two staff members' faces twitched, and they turned around to get the loan-related documents.

A few minutes later, Liu Jie walked into the VIP meeting room carrying the payment and loan documents, and placed the documents on the table:
"Mr. Ji, please fill this out."

Looking at the thick stack of documents, Ji Shuangshuang swallowed nervously, picked up her pen, and began to write furiously. It took her a full hour to finish filling out all the documents.

Liu Jie took the data into his hands, checked it from beginning to end, and only after confirming that there were no errors, omissions, or alterations did he breathe a sigh of relief and begin entering the data into the system.

Half an hour later, the data entry was completed. Liu Jie took out his access key, inserted it into the computer, verified it, and initiated the payment request.

The payment request was approved instantly.

Fourteen minutes after her application was approved, Ji Shuangshuang received a text message on her phone.

[A deposit of RMB 2,935,481,000.00 has been received into your company's corporate bank account ending in 4321. Please verify this information.]

After reading the text message and memorizing the numbers, Ji Shuangshuang quickly deleted it, put her phone in her pocket, and began to politely say goodbye to Liu Jie:
"President Liu, the company is still waiting for the salaries to be paid, so I'll head back now."

"I'll have someone handle the loan. You have my phone number, so we can contact each other directly if anything comes up."

Liu Jie looked up from his computer and nodded again:
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji. I will send the relevant information directly to the company. You don't need to send anyone over, as that would be a waste of time."

"Okay!" Ji Shuangshuang nodded, picked up her bag, and stopped when she reached the door of the VIP meeting room: "Come to the company for tea when you have time."

After leaving those words, she walked straight out the door and out of the bank lobby.

Standing in front of the bank, with the cool breeze blowing from all directions, Ji Shuangshuang felt as if she had come back to life.

"30 million!"

"what--"

She exhaled a deep breath and started walking towards the dilapidated Santana not far away.

He walked closer, casually opened the passenger door, sat down, placed his bag on his lap, and began reporting to Lin Yi:

"Based on the exchange rate, we received 29.35 billion RMB. Adding the funds in several accounts, our current liquid funds have reached 30 billion RMB."

"According to estimates, the cost of the steel cable is approximately 6.3 million yuan."

"The estimated cost of the battery materials delivered to Sadr is around 2000 million yuan."

"In other words, we will have approximately 24 billion yuan in working capital in the coming period."

After saying all that in one breath, Ji Shuangshuang huddled in the passenger seat, panting heavily.

30 billion yuan.

This is an amount I never dared to dream of.

Yet, he personally handled the deposit of this sum of money.

Simply outrageous.

With a work experience like that, if you shared it in your classmates' group chat, everyone would be incredibly envious.

can not say!
This kind of good news should be kept to yourself and only known to others.

Otherwise, there might be problems.

Letting out the anger that had been building up inside her, Ji Shuangshuang grabbed her seatbelt, fastened it, and turned to look at Lin Yi in the driver's seat:

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Lin Yi started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the car city:
"Old Dai said that the boss he knows has already prepared the car and asked us to go and take a look."

"Automobile City?"

"Ok!"

The two of them miscalculated their departure time and encountered the lunch rush hour. The roads were a bit congested, and it took them a while to finally arrive at the car market.

It's the same familiar 4S store.

Unlike last time, this time before the car even stopped, the 4S store employees came up to greet us, standing on either side of the car, hands on their lower abdomens, bowing, and calling us "General Manager" repeatedly.

"President Lin is here. Come on in, this is the biggest parking space, number 1. It's the best place to park."

"Just a little bit more forward, yes, yes, Mr. Lin only needs to take a light step and move forward just a little bit more."

"Great! Mr. Lin's driving skills are excellent, he got in in one go."

After getting off the car, looking at these enthusiastic people, Lin Yi touched his nose and whispered to them:

"I still prefer how you were when I last came here. Please get back to normal."

The situation was a bit awkward, but fortunately Dai Zhifeng appeared and defused the awkwardness. He pointed to the 4S store showroom:
"The car is inside, let's go in and take a look."

As soon as the three entered the door, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came to greet them. The man was thin and dressed in casual clothes, which was out of place with the style and atmosphere of the 4S store.

He must be the owner of the 4S store.

At this moment, Dai Zhifeng leaned over and whispered in Lin Yi's ear:

"Yi Jiajun started his business in the sand and gravel industry, and he is the actual controller behind these 4S stores in the surrounding area."

“I bumped into Lao Qin a few times when I was handling business with him.”

"I used to have a temper, but after being severely reprimanded, I've learned to control it now."

“Last time I came here, I didn’t think of him at first, but then I was looked down upon by some people, and that’s when I remembered him.”

Yi Jiajun approached the three men, first nodding to Dai Zhifeng, then extending his right hand to Lin Yi:
"Mr. Lin, it's an honor to meet you. The last time you came, it was because my people were being unreasonable. I've already warned them. Please forgive them and let it go."

"It's all in the past, there's no need to bring it up." Lin Yi replied casually after shaking hands with Yi Jiajun.

His gaze then fell upon the vehicles in the 4S store showroom.

Knowing that Lin Ying didn't want to say more, Yi Jiajun didn't talk much either, and pointed to the door next to him:

"The vehicles are ready here, please follow me."

After passing through the corridor, the group, led by Yi Jiajun, quickly arrived at the parking area.

Note that there are two S300Ls inside, eight Passat B6s next to them, and five Hongqis a little to the side.

Arriving at the vehicle, Lin Yi placed his finger on it, gently tracing the paint with his fingertip while examining the interior.

He couldn't help but sigh after just one glance.

From his perspective, having witnessed the prosperity of later generations, these cars, worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, were utterly worthless.

Unfortunately, in this era where strength matters, these useless cars are precisely what prove strength.

After closing the car door, Lin Yi looked at Yi Jiajun and then asked with a smile:

"Are they all brand new cars? No used cars, and no accident-damaged cars, right?"

Faced with this heartless question, Yi Jiajun could only sigh softly.

As the owner of a 4S store, he is very familiar with his competitors, and even with their own daily operations.

But today's guests are distinguished, so he naturally can't cheat them.

He nodded repeatedly, tapping the paint on the S300L in front of him with his hand, and responded softly:
"I guarantee that all vehicles are original factory paint and brand new. The cars come to me as soon as they come off the production line and the relevant labels are affixed."

"Guaranteed brand new!"
