Rebirth of Bloody Romance
Chapter 376 Time is money
The two figures of Hou'erbutt and Ermaozi gradually walked away and finally disappeared completely from Zhong Yuemin's sight.
At this moment, Zhong Yuemin was the only one left in the huge living room, sitting there quietly. He was seen tapping the tabletop rhythmically with one hand, making a clear and monotonous sound.
Zhong Yuemin's deep eyes looked into the distance without focus, as if he had seen through layers of walls and obstacles and saw the distant future. At this moment, his mind was rapidly calculating the various complex issues in Japanese real estate.
"It is not easy for a real estate company to be successfully listed! There are too many links and requirements involved, each of which is extremely strict and cannot afford to make mistakes. The first is the stability of the capital chain, which is the lifeblood of the company's development; then there are the dense financial statements, any mistake in any number may lead to the failure of all previous efforts; coupled with the unpredictable market prospects, the slightest mistake will lead to a complete failure... Alas, it is really thrilling at every step, and there is no room for negligence!"
Zhong Yuemin muttered to himself as he frowned unconsciously, with a deep groove forming between his brows.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but think of Takehara Masaki again. Although this grandson seemed to be the same as before, time flies after all. After so many years, who can guarantee that he has not changed?
Moreover, in the face of such huge temptations of interests, how many people can stick to their original intentions? Human hearts are often the most vulnerable to tests...
Even though Monkey Butt patted his not-so-broad and thick chest and vowed that he would keep a close eye on all developments like an eagle watching its chicks.
But Zhong Yuemin's mind was as clear as a mirror. Although this monkey-butt usually has a quick mind and is quite clever, when it comes to those intricate financial operations and tedious and lengthy listing procedures, he can only be regarded as a half-knowledgeable person at best.
If Takehara Masaki's grandson really wanted to plot something secretly or do some tricks behind the scenes, it is estimated that not only would Monkey Butt not only be unable to detect the trick, but it is also very likely that he would be sold out without knowing it, and in the end he would be foolishly helping the other party count the money!
Thinking of this, Zhong Yuemin picked up his phone without hesitation and quickly dialed Avril's number.
After a few beeps, the call was finally connected, and then Avril's charming and magnetic voice came from the receiver. Her tone was a little lazy, as if she had just woken up; at the same time, there was a hint of playfulness.
"Hello~" is just such a simple English word, but Avril made it sound so complicated and charming.
After hearing this familiar and charming voice, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said in a slightly helpless tone, "Avril, it's me."
"Oh my! Did the sun rise from the west today? Our boss Zhong, who is so busy with all kinds of things, actually took the initiative to call a little girl like me for the first time in his life? I am really flattered!"
It was obvious that Avril's words were full of teasing. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied and resentful about Zhong Yuemin's lack of initiative to contact her.
Zhong Yuemin showed a slightly awkward smile on his face, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Hey, this woman, she really doesn't let me off the hook at all."
However, Zhong Yuemin was a veteran after all, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, straightened his face, and said, "Well? Can we talk a little more kindly? Don't always prick people like a hedgehog, okay?"
Hearing this, Avril raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and responded with a smile. "Oh! Can't I be allowed to have thorns? If I didn't have thorns, I'm afraid some people would have forgotten me long ago."
Although Avril still showed no intention of backing down, her tone was obviously much softer than before. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was actually trying to give Zhong Yuemin a way out.
Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin quickly struck while the iron was hot, nodded and agreed with a smile. "Well, it's all my fault, okay? Let's not talk about these trivial things, let's get back to the point. It's like this, regarding the major event of our company's listing, there are some specific details that I want to confirm with you again. Especially when it comes to the situation with Takehara Masaki, I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy and uneasy in my heart."
Having said that, Zhong Yuemin's expression became serious, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry and concern.
Avril on the other end of the phone seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button, and fell into silence for several seconds. The air seemed to freeze, and people couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking about something quickly in her mind at this moment.
Finally, Avril broke the silence and spoke slowly, "Huh, I knew you were looking for me for no good reason. You only think of me when you have something to do. You really make me very unhappy!" There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in her voice.
Zhong Yuemin on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he smiled helplessly and apologetically. He sighed softly and responded, "Well, what do you want to do? You can't keep harping on this."
At this time, Avril raised her voice slightly and said in a firm tone, "I want you to come to Hong Kong Island, is that possible?" After saying this, she seemed a little nervous, holding her breath and waiting for the other party's answer.
Zhong Yuemin frowned, looking a little embarrassed. After a while, he sighed helplessly, "Ah... Wait a little longer. I'm really too busy lately to spare the time. But as long as I have time, I will definitely come to see you."
Eve was obviously not satisfied with the answer and asked, "Yuemin, you are not just trying to fool me, are you?" There was a hint of doubt in her words.
Zhong Yuemin quickly explained, "How could that be possible? I am speaking from the heart, and I have absolutely no intention of trying to fool you."
Hearing this, Avril was slightly relieved, but still said with doubt, "Okay, I'll believe you this time. In that case, let's get down to business."
Zhong Yuemin sorted out his chaotic thoughts, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Avril, what do you think of Takehara Masaki of our real estate company? Do you think there are some problems with him? Or, under his leadership, will we encounter various obstacles?"
Hearing Zhong Yuemin's question, Avril seemed to see through his thoughts at once. She responded in an extremely sharp and confident tone. "In my opinion, Takehara Masaki came to you in such a hurry this time, most likely to discuss matters related to the B round of financing with you."
At this time, Zhong Yuemin, who was standing on the other side holding the telephone receiver, nodded involuntarily, as if Avril had guessed his thoughts.
However, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxed, but instead formed a deep groove between his brows, revealing a somewhat helpless expression.
Zhong Yuemin muttered to himself, "Although I haven't been able to meet Takehara Masaki in person so far, if nothing unexpected happens, the situation will probably be as you expected. It's just... I don't know why, I always feel that this round of financing is going too smoothly, so that I always have a vague sense of uneasiness in my heart, and I can't feel completely at ease."
Avril laughed softly, her laughter was clear and pleasant, but mixed with a hint of ridicule. "Yuemin, I never thought that you would become so cautious. But if you think about it carefully, your worry is not unreasonable. You know, in the financial circle, there is no such thing as eternal friendship. Only the so-called 'eternal interests' are the eternal truth."
Hearing what Avril said, Yuemin couldn't help but sighed deeply, and said with a worried look on his face, "Alas! Now I am no longer alone. There are a large group of people following me. I have to think more about them. After all, my every move and every word may directly affect their livelihood and future."
"Yuemin, you promised me before that you would immediately push the company to go public after the B round of financing is completed! Now the time is ripe, do we still have to wait?"
Avril's clear and firm voice sounded, revealing an unquestionable determination. Avril, who was sitting at the table on the other end of the phone, leaned forward slightly, and her slender fingers, like green onions, tapped the tabletop rhythmically, making a slight but eye-catching sound, as if she was playing a silent prelude to the upcoming major changes.
"You know, it takes at least a whole year from round B to IPO! During this period, the market is unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen. But if we can act decisively, take advantage of the most lucrative and attractive part of the current real estate market before it is divided up by others, and then move to the secondary market to reap the benefits, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money? Faced with such a good opportunity, how can we easily miss it?"
At this point, Avril's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but smile after hearing this, with a bit of admiration and ridicule in his smile. "Haha... Avril, you really hit the nail on the head! That's right, 'time is money, efficiency is life', this sentence is fully reflected in you."
Avril smiled back, her smile full of confidence and calmness. "Yuemin, don't worry, I'll be watching over the Japanese market. I know all about the laws and regulations, market practices, and the difficult bureaucratic system there."
Zhong Yuemin nodded, but then frowned again, as if he had thought of a key question. "Avril, is it easy to get the IPO approved in Japan?"
When Avril heard Zhong Yuemin say this, she raised a mysterious smile, as if she was teasing Zhong Yuemin's "ignorance". "Hehe... Yuemin, you don't understand the current situation in Japan at all! Although their review system is indeed strict, this is also our opportunity."
When Zhong Yuemin heard what Avril said, he was confused. He blinked, as if he couldn't keep up with Avril's train of thought. "Avril, what do you mean? Why am I getting more confused the more I listen?"
Avril's voice was a little playful, as if she was telling a secret unknown to outsiders. "Hehe... Japan now has many factions within the political parties, and all the channels for advancement are clearly marked with prices, and vote-buying is common. Moreover, they are all cash gift boxes - given openly, opened in front of you, and received openly, and you express your position on the spot."
Zhong Yuemin looked incredulous, his brows furrowed, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary. "Is it true? I really don't know about this. I always thought that although the situation in Japan was complicated, it wouldn't be to this extent, right?"
Avril sighed softly and shook her head, seeming to feel helpless about Zhong Yuemin's "naivety". "Yuemin, don't disbelieve it. Japan is now in a stage of rapid economic development. The stock market is like a huge money printing machine. You can count money with your eyes closed. In such an environment, collusion between officials and businessmen and the transfer of benefits have become particularly common."
Ivy paused for a moment and continued, "Especially for those companies that are about to go public, in order to make a big splash in the stock market, they often use original shares as 'gifts' before going public and directly give them to those in power. In this way, once the company is successfully listed, these original shares can multiply several times or even dozens of times in just a few months. And those who receive the gifts will naturally return the favor and give the company more support in terms of policies and resources."
Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but gasp after hearing this. He had never thought that there was so much darkness and corruption hidden behind the Japanese stock market.
Zhong Yuemin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "So, won't our plan to go public in Japan face a lot of uncertainties and risks?"
Avril replied proudly, "Yuemin, don't worry! I'll take care of everything. No one dares to embarrass us."
