"The International Terminal is not going to be sold, but the port company is going to restructure its assets, to be precise, it's debt restructuring." This is the news that Uncle Mo told Xiaohua. It turns out that he already knew the relevant situation.

After returning from the construction aid project headquarters, Manman returned to the Poseidon neighborhood, while Li Xiaoyang and Hua Zhenxing went to the headquarters to report the situation. Ke Mengchao, who is in charge at the headquarters, is certainly not dissatisfied with the outcome of the talks. He said that relevant agreements must be implemented as soon as possible. Li Xiaoyang will be responsible for promoting the specific work. The procedures for hiring consultants will be completed today.

Then Xiaohua was called to the pavilion, where three old men sat side by side, Ke Mengchao, a junior, was in the middle, and Hua Zhenxing stood in front of a few people without even a small bench. Remember when Da Fengshou was educated here, the scene was not so serious and formal?

We were still talking about what we just talked about, but what Hua Zhenxing said was a little different. First, it was the new tasks released by the system, then the budget funds needed to complete the tasks, and finally, Manman mentioned that the international terminal might be sold. Uncle Mo actually already knew the latest situation at the International Terminal.

This wharf was built since the colonial era and has a history of almost two hundred years. Its ownership has changed several times and it was once nationalized after the independence of Kiribati. It was then restructured and is now operated by the International Port Company.

This is a joint venture company in which the local government of Fiso Port holds 40% of the shares, and the remaining shareholders are various private individuals and overseas investors. The main dilemma of International Terminal is that its business volume has dropped sharply and its income has also dropped significantly. Currently, several due debts have been overdue and have not been repaid. According to this trend, it may be difficult to repay subsequent maturing debts in the future.

If it is unable to repay its due debts, it may enter bankruptcy liquidation procedures, but the situation of the International Terminal is very special. Because wharves and ports are heavy asset projects, their replacement costs are very high. It can be said that even with all the current financial resources of Huanxiang Industrial, it is impossible to rebuild such a wharf from scratch.

The International Terminal is very important. It is the main import and export channel for materials in Fiso Port, and it is also the channel for controlling and calculating tax collection. Controlling it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the city.

Led by the internationally renowned investment bank Milin Group, several major creditors including Hui Feng Bank were organized to develop a debt restructuring plan and divest all relevant debts to a new overseas investment company.

This company became the only creditor of the port company by assuming debts, and then exchanged debts for equity and became its largest shareholder.

However, this plan was rejected by the port company, and Milin Group proposed a new plan. Since the port company has mortgaged many terminal assets when borrowing money, when each creditor divested its debt, it also divested the mortgage rights to the new company. If the port company cannot repay its future debts due, it can reassess the remaining terminal assets and continue to mortgage them to the company...

In short, the restructuring plan is very complex. If the operating conditions of International Terminals cannot improve in the short term, all terminal assets are likely to fall into the hands of this overseas investment company at a very low price.

The port company can choose not to repay the money, but it is not afraid of defaulting on its debt. If the debt restructuring is not carried out as required, the international terminal will not be able to operate normally for a long time, related import and export activities will stagnate, and the country of Kilili and the Port of Aiso will also lose subsequent tariff revenue.

Old Man Yang finally concluded: "Every local crisis in this world is often a feast, and the most valuable assets are often changed hands at low prices. Some people see benefits in crises, and later become accustomed to provoking crises and letting others The assets you want to acquire depreciate in value.”

Hua Zhenxing asked worriedly: "Then what should we do, just watch the International Terminal being taken away?"

Ke Mengchao: "If the international terminal can still operate normally, no matter who it belongs to, it actually doesn't matter to us. We are afraid that after the change of ownership, someone who controls the terminal will specifically target us and create obstacles for Huanxiang Industrial's import and export of materials.

These things are not something you can worry about right now. We will keep a close eye on it and try to solve this hidden danger when we have the chance. "

Old Man Yang added: "Just keep paying attention. There are many things in the world, so just study."

Uncle Mo added: "No matter how the International Terminal operates, the Poseidon Gang and the New Alliance are very important, because no one else here can replace these staff. Without our people, the terminal cannot operate."

After a heavy drink, Hua Zhenxing, whose mentality was just a little swollen, was suppressed by three old people again. Even though it was a small port, there were still many things that he could not do.

Even if he has cultivated in the Third Realm and is already the "boss behind the scenes" of the new alliance, he still has a long way to go to change the old pattern here. Not to mention the creation of Huanxiang Country and the establishment of a new world structure.

Early the next morning, Locke came to the grocery store as promised, and Manman was already here. Locke's condition has recovered to some extent, but he still looks a little tired. I don't know if it is the impact of an old injury, or he is tired from working with Wang Fengshou in the past two days.

Manman took out a small porcelain bottle, the same one that contained the fairy powder last time. He poured out three dark blue pills and handed them to Locke. Each pill was slightly larger than a peanut.

This was just refined by Hua Zhenxing last night, and the raw material was the thousand-year immortal core that Yang Tehong gave him last time. Hua Zhenxing has basically understood its efficacious properties based on his own experience in taking it.

Refining desert rose rhizomes that have grown for more than a thousand years into a thousand-year-old immortal core is actually extracting the essence of its physical properties. The further refinement of the elixir in front of you is to condense its spiritual properties and obtain the effect of stimulating vitality.

The three old men thought that Xiaohua might be able to refine the Thousand-year-old Pill with the cultivation of the Three Realms, but they did not expect that he would fiddle with something similar that night.

Compared with the "authentic" Chitose Pill, the pill Xiaohua refined at the moment is still a bit hot, but it definitely does not affect taking it, and the size and dosage are in line with the requirements. In practice terms, it can be used for a week. effect.

The process of refining the Millennium Immortality Core into the Thousand Years Pill is irreversible. The Millennium Immortal Core can be used as one of the raw materials for refining the Chunrong Pill. It can be taken by ordinary people by mixing it with other ingredients, but the Millennium Pill is already a monk's pill.

Most of the elixirs used by monks have their corresponding requirements for taking them and how to transport them after taking them. Therefore, ordinary people cannot take them, and even monks cannot take them at will.

Welwitschia elixir has the effect of replenishing and stimulating vitality, just like the Welwitschia orchid in the desert. It seems to have died long ago, but it grows rapidly when the rainy season comes.

This elixir is not used to treat Locke's injuries, but to assist him in practicing the art of nourishing energy. Locke has already cultivated in the three realms, so Hua Zhenxing can do this.

The so-called "Yuan" in the art of Yangyuan refers to the vitality, which is similar to the so-called "jing" in the art of inner alchemy, and the introduction to the art of Yangyuan starts with the inherent vitality.

In principle, Yangyuan Technique itself is the best way to heal injuries. As long as Locke can successfully get started and practice to the second level, his old injuries will be healed without medicine.

Locke has already cultivated the third realm, but that doesn't mean he can cultivate the art of nourishing the essence to the second realm. This is still two different things. Yang Yuan Shu originally meant a reference for him, but Hua Zhenxing now asked him to use Yang Yuan Shu as his main skill and practice it from scratch.

Locke is quite old and suffers from old injuries. His flaw is that he lacks inner vitality, so he needs to use the Thousand Years Pill to assist him in getting started and practice. Three pills are enough.

Hua Zhenxing refined a total of five thousand-year-old pills from the thousand-year-old immortality core on hand, and left the other two for Manman. Manman's situation is different from Locke's. She actually doesn't need the Thousand Years Pill, but after she starts practicing, this pill can help her "increase her skills" or serve as a backup healing medicine.

As for Hua Zhenxing himself, he can also pick Welwitschia flowers next.

The heavy rainy season has just arrived every year, which is the time for harvesting. There are more than 20,000 Welwitschia waiting for him to discover, and more than 200 of them are ready for use. If they were all used to refine the Millennium Immortality Core and then refine the Thousand-year-old Pill, they would be enough to be eaten.

Hua Zhenxing didn't realize one thing at this moment. In the next more than a year, his "alchemy" tasks would be unimaginably arduous. Unless his skill greatly increased, he would have to use Jin Dianxing's alchemy workshop.

If he uses the alchemy workshop, it does not count as completing the system task. Now that it was better, he thought of refining the Millennium Immortality Core and the Thousand-year-old Pill.

Locke was very nervous when he came. He thought that Huazhen Guild would ask about his origins and the secret techniques he had learned. However, Huazhen Xing did not mention this at all and directly taught him the art of cultivating energy, and explained it in great detail based on his own cultivation experience.

Locke is not a novice like Manman. He immediately realized that this is an inheritance with a complete system. Although Hua Zhenxing is currently teaching only the basic part, if you break through each level on this basis, you will have unlimited possibilities. possible.

These "possibles" are personalized, like Manman's water control and Locke's paper airplanes. There are no specific application contents in Yangyuan Art, but it is the foundation of cultivation that supports all these methods.

Locke has his own secret method inheritance system, but the inheritance has been interrupted because his teacher and companions are no longer there. Now he sees another hope.

Although Hua Zhenxing's cultivation level may not be higher than his, this set of Yuan Yuan Techniques is clearly the ladder leading to a higher realm. He taught him without saying a word and answered all questions. Although this child was young, there was only two words in Locke's heart - grandeur.

After explaining the cultivation method of Yang Yuan Shu and the assessment standards for each level, Hua Zhenxing told Locke that he could practice it on his own after returning home, and he could use the Thousand Years Pill to help him get started.

Even if the old injury has not healed, he can still use the Chitose Pill to assist him in his practice after he gets started. It should be no problem to reach the second level. By then, it will be a matter of course for him to break through to the third level.

Locke felt that words of thanks were redundant. He would listen to whatever Hua Zhenxing told him anyway, and took the initiative to report on the "work" of the past two days.

In Locke's view, with Wang Fengshou's methods already firmly under control at the grassroots level, it is not too difficult to take over the superstructure of the North Bay District. Given time, it will not be difficult to replace government departments at all levels with their own people from the new alliance and then reorganize them as required.

But Wang Fengshou also took on another task, which was to eradicate the escaped high-level officials of Beigang Freight and Civilized Trade as soon as possible. This matter is rather complicated and trivial, because no matter how great you are, you still have to find those people first.

Wang Fengshou was not very familiar with Port Feso, and Locke had been helping for the past two days, using original channels to find out information, and then going to the suspected location to investigate. His elusive paper airplanes are perfect for just that, especially at night. He is compiling a hiding map based on the list, and then Wang Fengshou can go to "targeted elimination" one by one.

Hua Zhenxing said: "You can tell me the situation at any time. When you encounter a difficult bone, I will bring the guys to help. Tell Wang Fengshou, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you can't show off. I have eighty-two recoilless power here." gun."

The so-called 82 recoilless rifle is actually a shoulder-fired single-shot rocket launcher with a caliber of 82 mm.

There was something like this in the cellar of the grocery store, with ten rounds of ammunition. Old man Yang didn't know where he got it. Yesterday he told Hua Zhenxing that he could use it if necessary.
