She had extended so many favors, only to get nothing in return, and she hated Han Lie’s guts for it.
But she was truly helpless when it ca to Han Lie, not even daring to retract the resources she had offered.
The business connections for the modeling company were a favor Xiao Wu repaid to Han Lie. Even though it was her company, she couldn’t dare to interfere.
As a result, the Arts Departnt began to flourish, and the Li Yi Team beca a hot commodity. All the pretty girls in school who lacked a specific skill were eager to join, with hopefuls showing up to inquire every day.
Han Lie had just reached the office door when he encountered two sophomore girls.
Good grief, when they saw Han Lie, their eyes practically shot flas, almost incinerating the "damned man" on the spot.
"Minister Han, you’re so charming!"
"Indeed! Who wouldn’t want another glance at the heartthrob of Humanities?"
Yin Qin and Qu Pingting imdiately started teasing him, while the other girls giggled, openly appraising Han Lie, their boldness growing by the minute.
"’Is this the Pansi Cave?’" Han Lie retorted playfully, but he almost didn’t make it out of the office.
With so many won around, titles like ’God Lie’ or ’Father Lie’ held no sway over them.
However, Han Lie didn’t lose out. He took advantage of the chaos to give Yin Qin a swat on the rear, making her yelp.
Even though it wasn’t very productive, spending ti in the Arts Departnt was genuinely enjoyable. Won of all personalities, looks, and physiques doted on Han Lie, the sole man in their midst. Tsk, tsk...
In such joy, who would pine for ho!
He was having a blast until noon and was just about to treat them all to lunch when Liu Minghao arrived.
He went straight to the school, dragged Han Lie into Old Zhang’s office, and then, with a backhand move, kicked Old Zhang out.
"’You damn rascal!’" Old Zhang muttered, effectively ’leaving the chat group’ as he tucked his tail and headed to the cafeteria to arrange a private al.
Liu Minghao started to discuss business. "I had soone do a preliminary investigation on Minggu Real Estate. I’ve gotten a general understanding of the situation. If you decide to proceed, I’ll have soone do professional due diligence and a financial audit."
Han Lie’s smile vanished. He nodded gravely. "Alright. Go on."
Minggu Real Estate was a relatively established dium-sized real estate company, locally based, having developed over ten comrcial and residential projects.
The company’s assets were valued at around 18 billion, with debts of 14 billion—all approximate figures.
Gu Yong owned around 75% of the shares, with a net worth just over 3 billion.
His personal debts hadn’t been checked yet, but with the company’s net assets at 4 billion, the situation was still acceptable.
The need for financing arose because the new developnt project, Minggu • Ming Capital, lacked developnt funds.
Two billion would be enough for completion, two and a half billion would provide a comfortable margin, and if worse ca to worst, even one and a half billion could see it through.
Liu Minghao shook his head with a smile. "If it weren’t for this year’s special circumstances, given Gu Yong’s connections with a certain bank, 500 million in cash would have been enough for him to manage his cash flow. Instead, he’s completely overwheld. Truly unlucky."
Han Lie pondered for a mont, then asked, "So, in your judgnt, this deal is viable?"
"Yes!"
Han Lie then asked, "Such a rare opportunity, hasn’t anyone else targeted Gu Yong?"
Liu Minghao understood. He looked at Han Lie in surprise. How does this prodigy know everything?
His internal shock didn’t prevent him from replying as usual, "Not really. The other two shareholders of Minggu Real Estate can still lend so help when it counts. Those who are even slightly wary wouldn’t break the rules for this small amount of profit. Those who might be interested enough aren’t desperate enough to take such a risk. However, if he has to hold out for another six months into next year, the situation might change..."
Net assets of 4 billion are hardly ’this small amount of profit.’ However, a normal acquisition would require paying a premium, so they definitely wouldn’t profit by the full 4 billion.
Trying to bankrupt Gu Yong through irregular ans would entail substantial other costs.
Most importantly, no one knows what the real estate market in Magic Capital will look like when the Minggu • Ming Capital project is completed.
So, for now, it truly isn’t worth scheming over.
But if Gu Yong’s financial chain completely snaps, leading to creditors swarming in, then Minggu Real Estate is definitely finished.
Han Lie now fully understood.
"So, if we can find the money, we can save Gu Yong’s life?"
"Correct." Liu Minghao nodded gravely. "It would save his entire family’s lives, and also secure two invaluable favors in return."
And so, Han Lie understood sothing else—those two shareholders didn’t have much money, but their influence was considerable. He couldn’t afford to dwell on it further; this was as far as he’d go. After all, Brother Lie just wanted to make money, and Gu Yong was a classic sucker.
"Fifteen percent is not enough!"
At the critical mont, the young man, not yet twenty, bared his sharp fangs.
"If you want to drop private equity for ABS, you’ll have to offer at least eighteen percent!"
Liu Minghao’s eyes lit up, and he gave Han Lie a big thumbs-up.
