My brother is reborn and his engagement is changed; my ex-sister-in-law is pregnant again and again.

"How's the situation? What did he say? Did he agree to our request?"

When Liang Hongyan saw her husband return, her voice was full of anxiety.

He said that the company's affairs had been completely handed over to Su Rui, and that he couldn't say anything about it, so he told me to go find Su Rui.

Nobody's stupid.

I understand that saying this is equivalent to the other party refusing to help.

Moreover, this reason is too simplistic; who would believe it? Although the other party is not currently in the company, the person in charge of this company is his own daughter. It's not a lot of money, just a few hundred million; it's a matter of a word.

"Of course they're unwilling to help."

"I've seen through Su Rui long ago; she has no chance of helping us."

"Besides Su Rui, there aren't many good people in the Su family. They're all in-laws, and they're unwilling to help with something like this. What kind of people are they?"

Liang Hongyan really has the nerve to say such things, as if others are obligated to help her. It's ridiculous. In this world, it's a favor if others help you, and it's their right if they don't want to. To expect them to help you is to think of yourself as someone important.

"Talking about this now won't solve the problem. What do you suggest we do? The bank won't give us a loan, the Su family isn't willing to help, and we still can't sell this villa... This..."

"Where are we going to get this money?"

When he said this, Lin's father's tone was full of helplessness. What does despair mean? In reality, it means true despair, having no way to do anything. Hearing this, Liang Hongyan frowned.

"There...shouldn't there be other ways?"

"What can be done? If there is, just say so."

Liang Hongyan fell silent. At this moment, she really couldn't think of any good solutions. In fact, in the current economic environment, most companies are already quite cautious about financing. Ultimately, cash flow is the most important thing. As long as there is money in the company's account, the company can survive. But if the company's account doesn't have much money, it can go bankrupt in no time.

"How's the bandwidth?"

"Loan? What loan? Didn't you already contact banks, but none of them are willing to lend you money?"

"Yes, it's true that normal banks won't give us the money, but I'm not talking about the more specialized banks."

As she spoke, Liang Hongyan had already realized what was happening.

"You're not thinking about taking out a loan at exorbitant interest rates, are you? Are you crazy? This is compound interest; 10 million could become 50 million, or even 100 million. You're going to ruin us."

Actually, Lin's father hasn't made this decision yet; he's still hesitant. After all, he's well aware of how terrible loan sharks can be.

"I'm just thinking about it."

At that moment, Lin's father's phone suddenly rang, and when he saw the caller ID, his face turned grim.

Who is it?

"Who else could it be? Mr. Bai's call is probably asking when we're going to deliver the goods."

When the Lin family initially provided the Qin family with 600 million yuan in financing, they actually kept over 100 million yuan for themselves. This 100 million yuan was enough to ensure the company's financial stability. However, due to subsequent events, the Lin family still gave this 100 million yuan to the Qin family, which immediately caused problems with the Lin family's cash flow.

So now they don't have the money to buy many of the raw materials. Under these circumstances, Mr. Lin was a little unsure how to answer the phone.

"Sigh, needless to say, they're definitely asking him about that batch of goods."

Liang Hongyan sighed. The cooperation with President Bai was scheduled to last until the end of December this year. There were only two or three months left until the end of December, so she guessed that the other party probably wanted to ask about the progress of this batch of goods. She guessed that the other party might have known some inside information, so they came to find out.

This is why the entire Lin Group is frantically seeking financing. If the money hasn't arrived, they simply won't be able to continue production. However, both parties have already signed a contract, which includes a breach of contract clause. If the goods aren't delivered to the other party before the stipulated time, the other party can sue for compensation based on the contract.

Anyone who has signed a contract knows that, generally speaking, the compensation amount far exceeds the total price of the goods, and at the very least, their contract stipulates three times the compensation.

"Definitely."

During this period, they have been in contact with banks and other relevant investment institutions. This kind of thing is impossible to keep a secret, so it is estimated that many people in the industry already know about it. It is actually quite normal for President Bai to know this news.

After all, the other party has quite a good network of connections. It would be problematic if the other party didn't know about this. Although he really didn't want to answer the call, not answering now would make him look guilty. So, with no other choice, Mr. Lin had to answer the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Bai, is there some instruction you need for me calling at this time?"

Mr. Lin's tone was more relaxed, as if nothing had happened at all. Upon hearing this, President Bai smiled.

"How could I dare to give you any instructions? I mainly wanted to ask how the shipment in our contract is progressing? Is everything going smoothly? Are there any problems?"

It really was that matter.

"Don't worry about that, everything is going very smoothly and there won't be any problems. We will definitely deliver the goods to you before the deadline."

Upon hearing this, President Bai frowned, because the information he had received was not like that.

"Brother, you need to understand that this batch of goods is extremely important to our company. Besides the domestic market, it also relates to our overseas market. If it weren't for our good relationship, we wouldn't have given you this order. We've already paid the deposit, so we don't want any problems with this shipment. You understand what I mean, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin's father nodded.

"There will definitely be no problem, please rest assured."

"But I am indeed a little worried right now. According to the information I have received, Brother Lin, it seems that your company is having financial problems. We need to know whether this information is true or false."

This batch of goods is far too important, so Mr. Bai needs to know all of this. If any problems arise, they will have to find other companies as soon as possible.

"This is definitely fake."

"How about this, we'll send a team to our factory tomorrow, is that alright?"

These words immediately silenced Lin's father. The factory was currently operating without any work or raw materials. How could he possibly work? If the other party actually sent someone to the factory, they would immediately know the current situation, and his lies would be exposed.

"Brother Lin, your silence suggests that the information I received is true."

"Mr. Bai, please believe me, I will definitely find a way to deliver the goods to you before the deadline."

"Alright, don't say I'm not considering our past relationship. I can only give you another week. If your funding problem isn't resolved and the factory hasn't started construction within a week, then we'll have to declare that you've breached our contract, and then we'll act according to the contract."

After some thought, the other party gave them a final deadline. After all, they needed to find other companies. If the other party could resolve the funding issue and get the factory back to work within a week, they would continue to choose this company. However, if the other party couldn't, they would definitely have to switch companies.

"No problem, just one week. I'll definitely get this sorted out within a week."

After saying these words, President Bai hung up the phone directly. Looking at the disconnected phone, Mr. Lin's face was grim.

"The other party has already set a timeframe of one week. If we can't resolve this issue within that week, they will cancel the cooperation and take legal action. Once this company cancels the cooperation, the remaining companies will definitely follow suit and cancel their cooperation with us one after another. At that point, our fate will likely be quite grim."

When Lin's father looked at Liang Hongyan, his tone was full of helplessness. No one wanted this to happen, but it had already happened. When people encounter misfortune, they always try to blame others. It was obvious that these two people were already somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yurui.

However, these two people also have problems. After all, they spoil their eldest son too much. When their eldest son asked them to raise 600 million yuan for the Qin family, they agreed after hesitating for less than a day. Now that problems have arisen, they are shifting all the blame onto their eldest son. It has to be admitted that Lin Yurui is somewhat helpless.

Even if there are 99% problems, doesn't the other party bear 1% of the responsibility?

"We should have let our son choose Su Rui when we arranged the marriage. Now look what happened."

"Now is not the time to blame each other. Since it has already happened, we have to do everything we can to solve this problem."

"How do we solve this? Tell me how to solve this problem now? We can't get that much money now, and they keep pressuring us."

"Let's try again. If it really doesn't work, we'll probably have to consider loan sharks."

Loan sharks are definitely a last resort, and there are indeed people in the industry who have been working in this field. However, if you want to get a loan from them, you will definitely need to provide collateral, which will usually be company shares and all their valuable assets. Moreover, the amount they offer is likely not much. For example, if you can get a legitimate loan of 100 million from a bank using these assets, then the loan sharks may only offer you 50 million.

Moreover, the interest rate will definitely be very high. Under normal circumstances, if things have already come to this point, it means that there are basically no other legitimate means to make money.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuze on the other side had also learned the news.

"My dad just messaged me saying he's rejected the Lin family's request and told them to come find me directly. If you were in their shoes, what would you do?"

After hearing this, Lin Yuze thought for a moment.

"If I were them, I would definitely choose to sell the company at a very low price right now. If I can't sell it, then I would consider transferring some of the assets overseas."

At this point, Lin Yuze was well aware that the Lin family had no other options. After his foolish older brother gave so much money, the entire company was already facing financial difficulties. How could there possibly be any way to save the company at this point?

Therefore, choosing to cut one's losses is a better approach. That is, to maintain the company's appearance as normal as possible, and then secretly transfer all the funds that can be transferred out through various channels and networks. Once the transfer is almost complete, the family can use the excuse of going abroad to do business, stay abroad, and never come back.

Actually, there are quite a few people in the industry who do this. One of the more famous ones is the person who used to keep talking about building cars. Since he left, such a long time has passed, and there has been no sign of him coming back at all.

"Actually, the Lin Group is facing very serious problems now. There is absolutely no one who can save it. Even if we agree to give him money, to be honest, without 20 billion, the entire company will absolutely not be able to come back to life."

"So, we can't get involved in this mess. Since the Lin family values ​​the Lin Group so much, let them solve this problem themselves."

Lin Yuze's attitude was very firm: he would absolutely not help. In fact, he understood that if he asked, the Su family would provide some help, though not as much as 2 billion, but they would still be willing to give 200 or 300 million, after all, Lin Yuze was Su Rui's fiancé and future son-in-law.

"So let's not think about these things anymore, let's eat. Let them worry about what's going on over there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuze nodded and followed Su Rui to the dining table, where the two began to eat.

"I've already spoken with a few designers on the phone. They'll design our house within a month and produce a design plan, which they'll send to us. We'll take a look at it, choose a style we like, and then finalize the designer's selection."

Every designer has a style they are good at; no one is good at every style. Even within the same style, each designer may pursue different details. Therefore, Su Rui contacted several good designers both domestically and internationally, a total of three, all of whom are very good at modern style design.

"Sure, I think either way is fine. As long as our senior is satisfied, I'll be satisfied too."

What kinds of things are you most interested in?

"Well, I need to think about it carefully. I don't think I've ever been particularly interested in anything before, but now there's one more thing."

Upon hearing this, the senior student's face showed some curiosity.

"So, what is it that interests you most? Can you tell me?"

"Of course, I'm interested in the senior."

Su Rui blushed upon hearing this. After living together for a long time, the two of them had become quite casual in their conversations. When they first moved in together, Lin Yuze would never have said such a thing.

"When I first met you, you seemed like a gentleman, but now it seems that's not the case."

"So, what kind of person do you think I should be right now, senior?"

"There are some upright gentlemen who can say cheesy pickup lines."

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without words. At that moment, Lin Yuze picked up a piece of sea cucumber and placed it in Su Rui's bowl and chopsticks.

"Eat up, and see how my cooking is! Isn't it almost on par with the Shandong cuisine masters in China?"

This braised sea cucumber with scallions was made by Lin Yuze. He spent an entire afternoon making it and was quite satisfied with it. Upon hearing this, Su Rui nodded.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing your cooking."
