They all originally wanted to get a share of the profits by taking advantage of Chen Wen and Qian Hui's resources.

An order for 300 million tons of sand and gravel means stable profits for the next few years.

But now everyone just wants to figure out if there's any chance this project can be saved.

Chen Wen did not answer immediately; his phone suddenly vibrated.

Upon seeing the caller's name, he stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'll take this call."

He walked out of the private room alone, went to a quiet area next to the restroom, and answered the phone.

"Chairman Shen."

Shen Ze's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Wen lowered his voice: "The new regulations have been released, and the secretary just delivered the news to the banquet."

"Shen Jianjun and Sun Mei were both frightened."

"Where are the others?"

"I already know that."

Chen Wen quickly reported to his superior: "All fifteen mines must cease operations, the 300 million ton order cannot be fulfilled, and the loan from Mingzhu Private Bank will also mature."

"Shall we proceed according to your plan?"

"Um."

Shen Ze only gave a few words.

Chen Wen did not raise any questions: "Understood, I will do as you say."

After hanging up the phone, he stood there for a moment, composed himself, and returned to the private room.

In just a few minutes, the private room was already more than half empty.

Almost all the people who had previously surrounded Shen Jianjun, offering him drinks and asking about investing, have left.

Some people didn't even say hello.

They weren't suddenly in trouble; they were just afraid that if they stayed any longer, Shen Jianjun would ask them for money.

Jianjun Group is now burdened with 6.9 billion yuan in loans and is facing huge claims from Northwest Industry.

Anyone who lends him money at this time may be dragged into the abyss as well.

The remaining people also stood up.

"Old Shen, there's an urgent matter at the company, I have to go back first."

"Let's talk another day."

"You'd better figure out how to handle the mining situation as soon as possible."

After they finished speaking, they hurriedly left the private room.

As soon as someone stepped out of the hotel, they opened their contacts and blocked Shen Jianjun's number.

Past friendships are in the past.

With billions of dollars in debt involved, no one is willing to risk their entire fortune.

Shen Ming was the last to leave. He stood at the door, glanced back at Shen Jianjun, and said in a complicated tone, "Jianjun, I advised you a long time ago not to make any more large-scale investments."

"We lost money on Qingnian Road once, and then we lost money on the fake project again."

"Now billions are tied up in mining farms. With the new regulations just coming out, all the equipment can only be sold at a discount."

"Your investment acumen is definitely seriously flawed."

Shen Jianjun's face darkened: "What's the point of saying all this now?"

"I just want to remind you not to keep hoping for the best."

Shen Ming sighed: "Sell the equipment as soon as possible while it's still new, and get back as much as you can."

"As for the mining qualifications, I advise you not to have too high hopes."

"With approvals tightened across the board, do you really think your fifteen mines will be approved?"

After saying that, he shook his head and turned to leave.

As he walked out of the hotel, Shen Ming couldn't help but look back.

Shen Jianjun has come this far not without a chance to turn his life around.

He clearly has a biological son whose abilities, vision, and character far surpass those of his peers.

But he insisted on driving Shen Ze and his mother away, and repeatedly sided with Shen Cong.

If they hadn't abandoned Shen Ze back then, with Shen Ze's current assets and capabilities, how could Jianjun Group have possibly been on the verge of bankruptcy?

Shen Ming sighed inwardly; Shen Jianjun was far inferior to Shen Ze.

The large private room was soon empty, with only three people remaining.

Shen Jianjun, Sun Mei, and Chen Wen.

Looking at the broken glass on the floor and then at the empty seats, Shen Jianjun's long-suppressed emotions completely collapsed.

"It's over..."

He slumped into a chair, covering his face with his hands: "Jianjun Group is finished!"

"Six billion in loans, orders for 300 million tons, fifteen mines..."

"How can I repay this?"

In the end, he could no longer control himself and burst into tears on the spot.

Just a month ago, he was a business tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of billions.

Now that his son is in prison, the group is on the verge of bankruptcy, and its last chance to turn things around has been completely shattered by a new regulation.

Sun Mei stood to the side, her face also filled with despair.

She was about to offer some words of comfort when Shen Jianjun suddenly looked up: "It's all your fault!"

He raised his hand to slap her, and Sun Mei took a half step back in fright: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Jianjun's hand froze in mid-air. Thinking of the Li family of Longdu behind Sun Mei, he ultimately didn't dare to strike.

But the anger didn't disappear; instead, it all turned into insults.

"You're a jinx!"

"When Douxin was first offered to me, you were the one who said it was a bottomless pit!"

"As a result, Shen Ze made 2.6 billion in transactions in one day using it!"

"That fake project later on, it was also introduced to me by someone you asked!"

"You're the one who kept pushing me to run this mine!"

"If it weren't for you, how could I have accumulated a debt of 6.9 billion? How could I have signed a supply contract for 300 million tons?"

Sun Mei burst into tears: "Why are you blaming me for everything? You agreed to every single project yourself!"

"My son has leukemia, was sentenced to sixteen years, and now the mine has shut down. How can I not be heartbroken?"

"Congcong's current state is all because of that wolf cub Shen Ze!"

Even now, she still doesn't think she was wrong to suppress Xu Ying and her son back then.

In her opinion, Shen Ze should not have come back, and he should not have taken away everything that originally belonged to Shen Cong.

Enraged, Shen Jianjun turned to Chen Wen and said, "And you too!"

"You were the one who said the mine had a good future, you were the one who helped me apply for a 6.9 billion loan, and you were the one who introduced Qian Hui to me!"

"Now that the project has encountered such a major problem, you must give me an explanation!"

Chen Wen remained seated, his tone still calm: "President Shen, there is nothing wrong with the mining project itself."

"The first batch of goods has been delivered, the quality is up to standard, and the profits have been received."

"Based on the original policies and market demand, the fifteen mines could indeed continue to be profitable."

"Who could have predicted that new regulations for river ecological management would be suddenly introduced?"

"You applied for the loan yourself, and you signed the contract yourself."

"From site selection and equipment procurement to connecting with Northwest Industry, I did my best throughout the entire process."

"What problems would have arisen for the project if this unexpected policy hadn't been implemented?"

Shen Jianjun opened his mouth, but had nothing to say, and Sun Mei couldn't find a reason to refute him either.

Mining farms were indeed making money before the policy was implemented.

The first batch of sand and gravel also passed the inspection of Northwest Industry. Chen Wen did not lie to them, nor did he force them to sign a contract.

The private room remained silent for a long time.

Shen Jianjun finally wiped away his tears, his voice hoarse: "Manager Chen, there's no point in saying any of this now."

"You have connections in both banking and the mining industry, tell me, is there still no way?"

Sun Mei hurriedly added, "We're willing to spend any amount of money as long as the mine can resume operations."

Chen Wen paused for a moment: "Normally, applying for a new mining license takes at least a year."

"A year?"

Shen Jianjun's expression changed again: "Qian Hui needs to deliver the goods in a month, and the bank loan is also due soon. I can't wait a year!"

"So the normal methods can't save you."

Shen Jianjun's breath hitched: "There are other abnormal methods?"

Chen Wen looked at him and said, "Build a resort next to the mine, and retain the personnel and equipment under the guise of developing surrounding tourism projects."

"Work is stopped during the day, and mining is carried out secretly at night."

"I will expedite the submission of your mining qualification documents simultaneously."

"As long as the new regulations are relaxed later, or the approval process changes, you will be able to resume normal operations."

Shen Jianjun's expression kept changing; he knew very well that doing this was extremely risky.

If they don't do this, Jianjun Group will soon be overwhelmed by loans and default penalties.

He had no other choice.
