Chapter 301 Central Square

After an emergency checkup, it turned out to be just a common fever.

Su Yehao had the doctor prescribe some medicine and took Yin Liuli back to the apartment. After she fell asleep, he watched TV in the living room.

Toward evening, he personally cooked a pot of plain porridge and stir-fried two light, appetizing dishes, which moved Yin Liuli to tears.

Su Yehao really wanted to say that he wasn't the type to be pampered. Cooking porridge and stir-frying vegetables was nothing to be surprised about, but he couldn't explain why he would know how.

After all, as the prestigious Young Master Su, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he didn't seem like the type who would know his way around a kitchen. He simply acquiesced, reaping a wave of goodwill for no apparent reason.

That night, he managed to get a rare, innocent night's sleep, only to be disturbed in the middle of the night by John Zhou, who had gone to America, saying he wanted to acquire a startup team and was expected to spend $500,000.

A mere $500,000. Su Yehao agreed in his half-awake state, not even asking what kind of company it was.

Until the next morning...

Recalling the phone call from the night before, he figured it was evening on the West Coast of America. He first had Yin Liuli take her medicine, then measured her temperature and found it had returned to normal. After a sandwich for breakfast, he rushed to the Donghuang Central Plaza.

Previously.

The Donghuang Group, managed by the Zhao family, originally intended to use this landmark project as its new headquarters, moving the whole company from the old building.

So not only was the material used in construction very solid, but the design was also excellent. There were a total of four underground parking levels, and three office buildings of varying heights above ground. The tallest was a hundred and thirty meters, with thirty-three floors in total. There was also a twenty-two-story building and an eleven-story building, staggered harmoniously.

The shopping mall and green park project were connected to the renovated new park, and there was nothing to fault in terms of lighting or location.

Due to the Donghuang Group's recent lack of funds, the entire Donghuang Central Plaza was transferred at a loss. The entire real estate market was generally sluggish, so it couldn't be said that they lost too much. In any case, Donghuang's move to the new headquarters would definitely have to wait.

The reason for Donghuang's crisis was mainly due to the old problem of being too aggressive.

When the market was booming, they expanded frantically, and the banks lined up to give them money. But when the financial crisis came and the market fell into recession, the capital chain tightened instantly.

In addition.

Last time they had dinner, Su Yehao also heard Zhao Yimeng mention that some shareholders in the company might be deliberately spreading rumors, causing the banks to be unwilling to provide loans, trying to take advantage of the company's problems to seize power.

This kind of thing seemed bizarre, like stabbing themselves in the back, harming themselves eight hundred while killing the enemy a thousand.

However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Not only could they take advantage of the falling stock price to buy more shares, but they also had the opportunity to become a major shareholder, so that the Donghuang Group would no longer bear the Zhao surname.

Anyway, they didn't lack food and drink, and it was reasonable to lose a little money to buy happiness.

For listed companies, especially those that cannot completely control absolute control, internal friction is too normal. Therefore, when investing, many people not only investigate the company itself, but also like to understand the situation between the management.

Some time has passed since the negative news about the Donghuang Group was released. The stock price has fallen by about a quarter from the beginning of the year to the present. Zhao Yimeng's father has returned to the company after finishing his treatment.

At this moment, when he saw Su Yehao, President Zhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, greeting him warmly...

At about eight twenty in the morning.

Su's father, looking radiant, arrived at the signing location in a bulletproof Cadillac.

Accidentally seeing his son there, Su's father was surprised and said, "Why are you back? Did you come back this morning?"

"Yesterday. I even went home to get the car, but you and Second Aunt weren't home, so I stayed at my friend's house."

Su Yehao caught sight of the flash, looked to the side, and saw a group of reporters taking pictures everywhere, all holding two gift bags, with the Nokia and IBM logos, mobile phones and laptops, almost like hard currency, which could be used for themselves or easily converted into cash.

It seemed that the Donghuang Group had already smoothed things over with these reporters in advance in order to get rid of the rumors of problems with the capital chain.

It was foreseeable that the news of the Donghuang Group receiving more than one billion in funds would be in the newspapers tonight.

Spending two or three hundred thousand on gifts had the potential to revive the company's stock price. Undoubtedly, it was a very worthwhile investment, even if the stock price only rose by one point, it would mean an increase of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in total market value.

"You came back and stayed at someone else's house? Your Second Aunt said the last time you slept at home was half a year ago. She bought you new sheets and quilts, but they haven't been used."

After Su's father finished speaking, he socialized with a group of friends, temporarily unable to take care of Su Yehao.

This was the business of Sihai International Group. Su Yehao was just here to join in the fun. When he saw Zhao Yimeng in a dark blue dress, he gave her a smile.

Zhao Yimeng put her hands behind her back and slowly approached Su Yehao, saying, "You came to take advantage of my family, buying such a good project. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"It's okay. I don't know if you've seen the design of the Sihai International Cultural Tourism City in Pengcheng. It's a super large project of more than four thousand mu. That's what you call spectacular, that's what gives you a sense of accomplishment."

Su Yehao casually pointed to the building in Donghuang Central and said with a smile, "This place is suitable for long-term holding, collecting rent as pocket money."

"Hmph, acting smug after getting a bargain. My dad has been sighing at home for a while. Look at your dad, he's glowing with health. If we had known we could get a loan from a mainland bank, we wouldn't have been in such a hurry to sell this place."

Zhao Yimeng hadn't returned to London to study this year. With so much going on at home, she chose to take a year off.

As for whether she would go back later, she would decide based on the situation. It was similar to Su Yehao going to Hong Kong University. She could always find a way to get a diploma and graduate.

Su Yehao asked with interest, "Which mainland bank approved your application? How much money did you borrow in total?"

"Bank of China and ICBC, a total of 1.5 billion RMB. The interest is still very expensive even after the discount, but solving the immediate crisis is the most important thing. Maybe the currency will depreciate in the next two or three years. Now that my dad is back to take charge, as long as we get through the current difficulties, there shouldn't be any major problems. The service of those two banks is very good. We have to thank your dad for this."

After Zhao Yimeng finished speaking, Su Yehao looked at her and said helplessly, "I asked my dad to help and asked him to contact the mainland banks. Why don't you thank me?"

"You only made a phone call. Of course, the favor should be credited to your dad."

Seeing Su Yehao deflated, Zhao Yimeng suddenly smiled happily, standing there in high heels, not noticing that a reporter was taking pictures.

Su Yehao saw it, but didn't care much.

Those reporters also had to eat. Anyway, there would always be boring gossip news spreading. Even if he never contacted women, he might be rumored to have problems with his orientation.

His requirements for his reputation weren't high. As long as he didn't violate laws and regulations and upheld the bottom line on major issues, that was enough.

Just as it turned eight thirty, the people on both sides went on stage to sign the contract, had their photos taken, and Su's father even gave a short speech, saying that the mall was planned to open within three months, and many shops were being renovated.

In just over ten minutes, everything was done.

Before the people had dispersed, Zhao Yimeng got into Su Yehao's car first to find a place for a cup of coffee, supposedly to discuss some serious business.

Only after Su Yehao asked did he realize that this girl felt it was about time and wanted to take her investment money back...
