He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 154 Desperate Measures

I decided to notify everyone by phone.

They all went to the NT Industrial Park.

Su Hang, Zhao Yigang, Sun Ce, Liu Dabin, Zhao Zifeng, Fourth Uncle, and Sister Hong.

"The Liancheng NP Intelligent Computing Center project has a total budget of 600 million yuan and consists of six phases. The project covers four counties and two districts, with all six phases commencing construction simultaneously. The project is expected to be completed within six months and put into use immediately upon completion. After completion, the equity can be sold or listed on the stock exchange within one year, with an overall return rate of 15%."

Su Hang: "Are there any entry requirements?"

"Each individual should contribute no less than 300 million. Everyone should mobilize their resources. This project is another one that can be actually implemented after the NT Industrial Park. If it can be listed, NP will reserve equity for investors, who can purchase it first."

The capital requirements for NP intelligent computing power are very large.

If I want to gain absolute control over the Chen and Zhou families, I need to invest enough funds.

I also contacted my classmates from the CEO program at Renmin University in Beijing.

Liu Junchi happens to be a private equity firm.

Wang Muyang is a private financial advisor.

Xu An and Lin Chuan are both senior executives in the organization.

These three men, introduced by Fang Liao, failed miserably at the Z grain factory in Shanghai.

However, that's how investing works; if one sector doesn't perform well, another might.

There are gains and losses.

NP intelligent computing power is an investment project attracted by the Liancheng Municipal Government and a key municipal project.

With such endorsement, it was easy to obtain financial support from the three individuals.

Liu Junchi: "Tianyi, it's been a long time."

"Yes, we didn't even have a chance to catch up last time we went to Shanghai, so I rushed back because of NP company."

Wang Muyang: "My bosses are very optimistic about this project."

Xu An and Lin Chuan are backed by institutions, so they are more cautious, but for me, choosing an institution is also the last thing to consider.

"The minimum investment for an individual is 300 million."

Xu An and Lin Chuan sighed.

A good project never lacks funding.

Institutions are never the best option.

The four of us tacitly avoided mentioning Fang Liao; he was a thing of the past.

Ultimately, the Zhou family received 1.2 million yuan (2000 million yuan in interest-free loans + 1 million yuan in interest-bearing loans).

Chen Hangtian (Chen family has 1 million).

NR Shanghai Investment Company has 4 million yuan. (I mortgaged the equity of the Gold Shop (chain), including funds from Su Hang, Zhao Yigang, Sun Ce, Liu Dabing, Zhao Zifeng, Fourth Uncle, Sister Hong, Liu Junchi, and Wang Muyang.)

Zhou family.

Zhou Ren's complexion was not good.

"Where did he get 4 million?!"

Originally, he was sitting back and waiting for me to provide funds to the Zhou family.

After all, to gain absolute control of NP Intelligent Computing Power Company, I need at least 300 million in cash flow. My only asset is the equity pledge of the gold shop, which is less than 100 million, leaving a shortfall of 200 million.

This is precisely the last resort the Zhou family has to control me.

If I lend the Zhou family 2 million yuan, the Zhou family will actually become the largest shareholder and the one in power at NP Intelligent Computing Company.

Unexpectedly, an accident still occurred.

NT Industrial Park.

I had a video call with Dongling.

Are you sure you don't need me to find you funding?

Dong Ling looked worried.

"No need, it's all in the plan."

"You broke ties with the Zhou family too early; this will hinder future developments."

"I've already promised to invest in the provincial capital after the New Year, so I'm basically working for the Zhou family for free!"

NP Intelligent Computing Company, I gambled away all my large sum of money.

In the planning stage.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project undertaken by NK Municipality will be settled at the end of the year.

It was originally the same group of people from HY, and the project itself was intended to pay back the debts owed to HG Municipality.

I've temporarily allocated a portion of the NK project funds. [900 million]

NB property payment. [200 million]

NT Industrial Park's 10% stake has been pledged again. [1000 million]

NZ acquired a package of non-performing assets, packaged them together, and then used them as collateral to generate excess loans. [600 million]

All the funds that were squeezed out were diverted to invest in the provincial capital.

It was used to expand the territory of the Zhou family.

After sorting,

I slumped on the sofa in a very ungraceful posture.

In the video, Dong Ling covered his mouth and said, "You've really gone all out this time. Liancheng's resources are basically all used up."

"I hope the Zhou family will remember my kindness by then."

"Yan Kaixin is indeed in it for promotion. He doesn't get involved in the business in Liancheng, but he introduced me to a bank. I suspect that the bank manager, Hao, has a powerful background."

Dong Ling asked curiously, "How so?"

"I offered Sun Ce's promotion from section chief to deputy director as a bargaining chip, and they started working on it on the third day!"

Dong Ling: "This Hao Lixuan is the key to breaking the deadlock!"

"That's exactly what I meant!"

"Whether Liancheng is in chaos or not, the Hao family has the final say!"

Tea shop.

He called Su Hang, Zhao Yigang, and Sun Ce to come over and play mahjong.

Tea table in the living room.

"Why is Mr. Shen so free today?"

I rubbed my temples and said, "I've managed to steal a moment from my busy schedule; I've been a real pains to you all lately."

"Of course, we are all very grateful to you for leading us to make money."

Sun Ce was the last to arrive.

"Sorry I'm late."

Su Hang: "Section Chief Sun."

Zhao Yigang also greeted Sun Ce, who arrived a little later.

Sun Ce's anti-corruption campaign, which resulted in the arrest of Wang Tianyi of Dazhou County, shocked a small part of the officialdom in Liancheng City, especially Su Hang and Zhao Yigang. After learning that I was the instigator of this incident, they became even more determined to join the party.

Sun Ce: "Thank you, General Manager Shen. The leaders from the Organization Department spoke with me today!"

Su Hang and Zhao Yigang's eyes widened immediately!

Sun Ce was a full-fledged section chief!

The Organization Department's interview—this is a promotion to deputy director level!

Su Hang felt a little bitter; he had sacrificed his wife for a job transfer and a better chance of promotion.

Sun Ce risked his life for me once and got promoted to deputy director. What a difference!

Me: "That's good. Now that you've been promoted, I feel much more at ease about the business in Liancheng. After the New Year, I'll be heading to the provincial capital. The three of you will still be looking after the NP intelligent computing power in Liancheng."

In fact, Sun Ce's promotion was obtained in exchange for me using nearly 1000 million yuan to dispose of non-performing assets.

Of course, this 1000 million was not spent, but rather used to purchase assets needed by a big shot in a portfolio of distressed assets.

It's just buying at the original price and selling it back at the original price.

Doing a favor when it's convenient.

This is the opportunity.

"Let's go upstairs to play mahjong. The New Year is almost here, and we haven't had a proper time to have fun together yet."

I told the three of us that we were together so that we could introduce ourselves, get to know each other, and get to know each other better.

Of course, this is the core team.

Regardless of what happened before,

Later, all three of them invested so much money in me, and it was all about social connections.

With me at the center, the three of us must also cooperate well.

I played mahjong all afternoon.

As expected, damn it, I lost another 4!

Su Hang: "Mr. Shen, you didn't come here on purpose to give away money, did you?"

I do look quite unwell; it's been so many years since I graduated from university.

When will my luck in gambling turn around?
