Chapter 1291: 892 Peerless National Scholar
Starting from scratch is too slow, and it consus ti and effort.
Take employee housing, for example.
It requires large-scale land acquisition, bidding, and construction.
So the simplest and most efficient approach is through rgers and acquisitions—acquiring professional companies in the relevant field and letting expert teams handle professional matters.
Many giant corporations operate this way.
Jiang Chen’s idea isn’t flawed, but he seems to have chosen the wrong target.
Hengsheng Group.
A leading super real estate enterprise, once catapulting its founder to the position of richest man, with debts exceeding one trillion yuan. Imagine how imnse its scale must be.
“Are you insane?”
Great Wall Group.
Soone’s office.
Cao Jinse barged in uninvited, unusually skipping the courtesy of knocking. Her first words upon entering were a sharp summary.
Boss Jiang kept a composed expression, as if nothing had happened, inviting her to take a seat.
“Sit down for what?”
Unlike her previous joking deanor, Cao Jinse’s face was stern and even furious. She displayed rare loss of composure, standing in front of the desk and pointing directly at him, “Hengsheng Group is practically an erupting volcano right now. Everyone is avoiding it, yet you’re actively courting disaster. Do you really think you’re made of steel?”
Jiang Chen remained unfazed, unmoved.
He could distinguish good from bad.
Her agitation was entirely out of concern.
Thus, he kept silent, allowing her to vent her emotions.
“Answer .”
Cao Jinse’s icy expression was uncharacteristic—perhaps this was her truest self.
“I’m waiting for you to finish first.”
Jiang Chen responded calmly.
At this mont, given this scenario, she had no inclination for humor.
She hadn’t even asked questions, showing her trust.
But what she absolutely didn’t expect was for this guy to spring such a massive surprise on her.
“Contact Uncle Sui imdiately and tell him you weren’t serious.”
It seed Cao Jinse was indeed overwheld by her emotions; otherwise, she wouldn’t have said sothing so naive.
What’s done cannot be undone.
Especially when dealing with soone of that stature.
Jiang Chen chuckled.
Cao Jinse, seeing this, grew even more irritated.
“You can still laugh?”
“You’re dragging everyone with you as you leap off a cliff.”
“Didn’t you just call it a volcano?”
Boss Jiang’s calm deanor was remarkable; he even managed to banter at a ti like this.
“Bang!”
Cao Jinse slamd the desk abruptly. “Be serious!”
Jiang Chen’s eyes revealed a subtle shift.
Since their acquaintance, she had always been, in his eyes, the epito of refinent—elegant, poised, intelligent, and calculating.
But now.
If she didn’t truly consider him family, she wouldn’t have shown such raw emotional vulnerability.
As always, Jiang Chen, no matter the situation, could maintain an optimistic outlook.
“Arguing won’t solve the problem. Calm yourself first.”
With his smile restrained, he confidently offered a lesson to Cao Jinse.
Cao Jinse was certainly no ordinary woman; she locked her gaze on him, and gradually, though begrudgingly, she cald down—at least outwardly, no longer as tempestuous as when she entered.
She pulled out the chair and took a seat.
“Give a reasonable explanation.”
“The problems with Hengsheng Group are attracting nationwide attention. If soone could step in to take over Hengsheng Group now, they’d gain massive prominence and shock the entire country.”
Of course, it would be shocking.
How could it not be? Such an absurd scapegoat would be unprecedented, a rarity throughout history!
Cao Jinse wasn’t against charity work. Given her status, she could fully enjoy life without bothering with such stressful endeavors. But for every action, there’s a prerequisite—not risking herself.
“Taking over. Is this even a pot you can hold? Aren’t you afraid it’ll be too heavy and crush you?”
Jiang Chen remained composed. “Although Hengsheng Group’s debt is enormous, even now, its assets are still highly valuable. When offset against the debt, the actual numbers aren’t as fearful. If the bank agrees to extend the repaynt period—”
Cao Jinse narrowed her eyes slightly.
Jiang Chen t her gaze directly.
“Everyone knows it’s a hot potato. To find soone willing to take it on, naturally, certain benefits have to be provided.”
“What else did Uncle Sui tell you?”
“Besides extending the repaynt period, he guaranteed that within five to ten years, property prices wouldn’t experience large-scale fluctuations. Although real estate has passed its peak, it remains the most lucrative industry in society. Taking over Hengsheng can help us capture its final wave of profitability.”
Guaranteed.
Yes.
The issues with Hengsheng Group aren’t minor squabbles. If soone could truly step forward to assist in resolving this ss, they’d indeed earn the respect of Uncle Sui.
“Aren’t you being overly optimistic? Even if the bank loosens restrictions, the debt is still there, not reduced by a single cent. And those nurous unfinished projects require substantial funds to address.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t the least bit flustered.
“I’ve considered that issue as well. Hengsheng Group left behind over a hundred unfinished projects. For the hoowners involved, we can opt for refunding the down paynts and clearing their mortgage obligations with the bank. We’d bear the repaynts ourselves. While this sum is considerable, waiving the interest would alleviate much of the pressure.”
“Why would the bank waive the interest?”
Cao Jinse pushed further.
Jiang Chen explained confidently, “Many owners of these unfinished projects have already started defaulting. They’re victims themselves, and the bank can’t afford to make things harder for them. But due to the incomplete developnts, there’s no property to repossess, leaving the bank in a tough spot as well. Between a complete loss of interest and principal, or regaining principal alone, which option would you choose as the bank?”
