My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 731 - 449

Changqing Biological pledged financing for 30 billion yuan, Ai Dou New Energy planned to pledge 30 billion yuan, and if possible, Gao Yuan naturally wanted to loan another 150 billion yuan for Baiyeji...

Of the several major companies she owned, she did not intend to spare any of them.

Financing—expanding—financing again—expanding again!

After all, in the business plan Meng Lang gave her, there was never a time when money wasn’t needed...

Luckily, with Zero as a "financial whiz kid" as her safety net, Gao Yuan’s utilization of funds could now be summarized in four words— the more, the better!

Of course, the valuation of an IT company like Baiyeji is relatively intangible, and normal banks would not agree to such an outrageous financing request. This is where speculators like Gao Sheng come into play...

In Gao Yuan’s view, even a historical figure like He Shen had a unique role in history, and even as a villain, had his own value.

If Gao Sheng had his eye on her territory, was she not also eyeing his little gold mine?

It should be noted that after stock pledge, one can still continue with asset mortgage loans or issuing bonds, so mortgaging shares from Gao Sheng did not stop her from continuing to finance from banks or welfare funds.

It must be said that the domestic financial market is incredibly wild.

As long as one has strong connections and multiple channels, not to mention reaping multiple benefits from one fish, even if you simply draw a few parking spaces on the ground, you can easily get tens of billions from the bank.

A financial system full of loopholes and backdoors is like a scantily clad beauty, attracting thirsty capitalists...

However, even with Hu Yifei’s connections, Gao Yuan was always cautious about borrowing money from banks.

Most of the time, she opted for physical asset mortgage loans that had stronger compliance, and the amounts were always within reasonable limits.

After all, this was a gray area with vast room for imagination; while it provided fast money, it also brought many hidden dangers.

Not to mention leaving oneself open to criticism; the sudden withdrawal of credit by the bank from Changqing Biological was one such lesson.

Whether it was safe or not depended on whether someone wanted to take advantage of this situation...

Now, by subtly drawing the Hu family into her own battle ship through Hu Yifei, Gao Yuan was even more cautious and attentive in this area, not wanting to leave any vulnerability for her eagerly watching opponents to attack.

Therefore, compared to banks, she was actually more inclined to make money from the capital market.

Moreover...

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Gao Yuan watched Tang Yijing leave in a hurry, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth...

How could fighting off a pack of greedy hyenas trying to feed on her foundation compare to the pleasure of scheming with top international capitals like Gao Sheng?

...

"6 billion per vessel..."

Italy’s Apennine Peninsula, Naples Port.

Ship King John, who was inspecting his shipping business at the port, had his expression turn sour upon hearing this news.

The joy that had come with the recent market recovery and improved company operations instantly halved.

Although this price was much lower than the average of 7.5 billion yuan per vessel initially ordered from Bin City Shipyard, seeing the low-priced tankers about to fall into his grasp being snatched by others was not something anyone could be happy about.

I’ve set the stage and nearly finished the act, and now the duck in my mouth has flown away...

This is just too frustrating!

"I didn’t expect someone from the Eastern Kingdom to be able to make a similar judgment of future trends... It seems I’ve met my match..." John said, unwilling to concede.

"Boss, doesn’t the other party seem a bit too confident? Aren’t they afraid of these ships getting stuck in their hands?

To immediately raise the price to 6 billion—current market conditions don’t even demand that for new ships!" His deputy grumbled in dissatisfaction.

John shook his head helplessly. "Distant water can’t quench immediate thirst; by the time the new ships are launched, the market might have already passed.

In a booming economic cycle, every existing vessel, even second-hand ones, is a precious asset, with prices potentially doubling or more.

What’s more... if we try to order new ships now, we might struggle to find shipyards willing to promptly accept the order..."

Cancelling orders doesn’t come without a price, even leading to lawsuits, and even after winning, Ship King John’s reputation in Asian shipyards is not very friendly.

Unfortunately, almost the entire global shipbuilding industry is in Asia, you just have to ask around to know who’s been up to mischief...

This is the "aftereffect of breaching the contract"; although he’s not in the service industry, a good reputation is secondary for him, certainly less important than the tangible benefits in front of him.

And the ship king has always adhered to a "profit first" business principle, even his widely recognized nickname in the industry is the "Pirate King of Norway"...

But the current situation was obviously a bit awkward.

Due to the long-term industry downturn, the existing vessels available for trade on the market were extremely rare.

Many old second-hand ships had even entered the scrapyards, and with new ships failing to bridge the gap, even wanting to urgently build ships to expand the fleet might lead to disappointment...

Suddenly, the eight tankers in Baiyeji’s hands seemed all the more precious.

More importantly, these tankers were custom-made for his own fleet and could be quickly put to use, avoiding a lot of hassle and time for modifications.

In the end, accepting the counterparty’s offer and taking the hit seemed to be the most cost-saving approach...
