Mentioning the Duan family, Shen Jianjun's grip on his wine glass tightened slightly.

On the day he was expelled from the Duan family, Duan Longsheng publicly berated him in front of everyone, calling him ungrateful and unworthy of his position, and said that he would no longer acknowledge him as a student.

This incident remained his greatest shame.

The Duan family was indeed extremely shocked to learn that the fifteen mines were already profitable.

With billions of yuan invested in the mine, everyone thought Shen Jianjun would lose everything again.

No one expected that the mine would receive a super order for 300 million tons as soon as it started production.

The first batch of goods alone brought Jianjun Group a large sum of cash.

Although the Duan family did not contact him, the shock they felt had already calmed the resentment in Shen Jianjun's chest considerably.

In the end, it turned out that he wasn't as bad as he seemed!

"Build an army."

A man in his fifties walked over with a wine glass in his hand: "If those people outside don't want to come, they don't have to. We've known each other for so many years, let's not worry about temporary success or failure."

The man who came was named Shen Ming, and he had known Shen Jianjun for over twenty years.

When Jianjun Group was at its peak, the two often collaborated.

Now that Shen Jianjun is in trouble, he is one of the few people who are willing to attend.

Shen Jianjun felt a warmth in his heart, raised his glass and clinked it with his: "Old Shen, you're a true friend."

Shen Ming laughed and said, "Who doesn't experience ups and downs in business? You were able to build Jianjun Group into a company worth hundreds of billions before, and you can just as easily rise again."

"I heard those fifteen mines have already started making money?"

"good."

When the topic of the mine came up, Shen Jianjun immediately straightened his back: "The first batch of goods has been successfully delivered."

"As long as the fifteen mines keep operating, they can generate millions in net profit every day."

Several guests sitting nearby turned their heads at the same time.

"Millions in net profit every day?"

"Mr. Shen, is this number accurate?"

"Fifteen mines have only just started production, right? They're already profitable?"

Shen Jianjun had been waiting for this moment.

He put down his glass and deliberately raised his voice: "Of course it's true."

"The 300 million ton order is enough to keep 15 mines in stable production for many years."

"I can tell you all definitively that the most difficult time for Jianjun Group is over!"

The chatter in the private room immediately increased.

Some people who originally attended the banquet only out of old friendships couldn't help but reassess the value of Jianjun Group.

A few million in net profit a day, that's over a hundred million a month.

As long as the project continues to operate, Jianjun Group does indeed have a chance to turn things around.

Shen Ming sighed, "Investing billions and building fifteen mines simultaneously—this is not a decision that ordinary people would dare to make."

"Jianjun, it seems you really made the right bet this time."

"This is not a gamble."

Shen Jianjun immediately corrected him: "I have conducted a complete market survey."

"With more and more construction projects in Shanghai and the surrounding areas, the demand for sand and gravel will only continue to grow."

"The mine is a real resource; we can sell as much as we produce."

At this point, he turned to look at Chen Wen, who was sitting at the main table.

"Of course, I was able to secure this project without the help of Vice President Chen."

"Without Vice President Chen's introduction, Mingzhu Private Bank would not have provided a loan of 6.9 billion yuan at once, and the 300 million-ton order from Northwest Industry would not have fallen into Jianjun Group's lap."

Chen Wen, dressed in a dark blue suit, sat upright next to the main seat.

Shen Jianjun strode over and personally introduced the person to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chen Wen, the deputy general manager of Mingzhu Private Bank."

"Mingzhu Private Bank manages over 100 billion yuan in assets. Any project that receives their approval is guaranteed to be problem-free."

"The 6.9 billion yuan loan to Jianjun Group was personally promoted by Vice President Chen."

Six billion!

Upon hearing this number, many people in the private room changed their expressions.

They had only heard that Jianjun Group had borrowed a large sum of money, but they didn't know the exact amount.

The approval of a loan of 6.9 billion yuan is enough to prove Chen Wen's status in Mingzhu Private Bank.

Several bosses immediately surrounded them with their wine glasses.

"Mr. Chen, I've long admired your name."

"Our company also has a project that we're looking to collaborate with banks on. When would be a convenient time for you, Mr. Chen?"

"Mr. Chen, I have been doing business with Mingzhu Private Bank for some time now, and I hope you will continue to support me in the future."

"I'd like to raise a glass to General Manager Chen!"

In a short while, Chen Wen was surrounded by people.

Mingzhu Private Bank now has a large number of high-quality clients and funds, and Chen Wen is the vice president in charge of loan approval. Everyone wants to establish a relationship with him.

Shen Jianjun watched this scene with increasing pride.

When these people first entered, their attitude towards him was lukewarm.

Now that they know he can get involved with Chen Wen, they all immediately take the initiative to approach him.

That's real strength!

Shen Ming leaned closer and whispered, "Jianjun, you've definitely found a good backer this time."

"Mingzhu Private Bank is willing to provide support, and Northwest Industry has also placed long-term orders. As long as the mine operates stably for a few years, it won't be difficult for Jianjun Group to recover."

A real estate tycoon standing nearby shook his head: "It's possible to recover its strength, but returning to its peak is another matter."

The noise in the private room subsided slightly.

Shen Jianjun's smile faded slightly: "What do you mean?"

The real estate tycoon and he had known each other for many years, so he didn't hold back when speaking.

"Old Shen, we're old friends, so I'll just tell you the truth."

"Haven't you suffered enough losses in the past month?"

"You sold the land on Qingnian Road at a low price, missing out on billions in profits. Later, you listened to a swindler and invested hundreds of millions of yuan in a project that didn't even exist."

"Now that the mining farm has finally started to make a profit, you should stop messing around with it."

The other person nodded in agreement: "That's right."

"The mine has good cash flow. If you stick to your existing business, you'll still be doing well in a few years."

"But if you invest on a large scale again, you might fall into a trap."

"The reason we're here tonight is because of our past friendship."

"If you want to borrow money from us, or get us involved in other projects, you'd better not ask."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

"Old Shen, it's not that we look down on you, it's just that your judgment has been flawed a lot lately."

"The 6.9 billion loan is already high enough; we can't add any more leverage."

"The money earned from the sand mining will be used to pay off debts first."

"As long as they stop making reckless investments, Jianjun Group can still be saved."

Every sentence seemed to be for his benefit, but in reality, every single one was reopening his wounds.

Shen Jianjun's face gradually darkened.

He hosted a banquet tonight so that these people could see his success.

While they verbally acknowledged that the mine was profitable, they still secretly viewed him as a joke due to his series of mistakes.

Shen Ming coughed lightly, trying to smooth things over: "Let's not bring up the past anymore."

"Jianjun's ability to acquire fifteen mines this time proves that he still has foresight."

The real estate tycoon took a sip of his drink: "Compared to Shen Ze, he's still a bit lacking."

Shen Jianjun's fingers tightened suddenly.

The man, oblivious to his expression, continued, "When Shen Ze acquired Douxin, the entire city of Shanghai was skeptical."

"As a result, they sold 1.3 billion yuan worth of goods in one live stream, with a single-day transaction volume of 2.6 billion yuan, proving all the skeptics wrong. This is true business acumen."

Those nearby exclaimed, "Yes, this young man is remarkable. He's made money on every project he's set his sights on."

"Old Shen, you have such an outstanding son, why do you have to compete with him?"

"Listen to Shen Ze's opinions more often in the future; you might be able to avoid some detours."

"To be honest, you're not as good as him when it comes to investing."
