"The International Terminal is not going to be sold, but the Port Management Company is going to reorganize its assets, to be precise, it's debt restructuring." This is the news that Uncle Mo told Xiaohua. It turns out that he already knew the relevant situation.
After returning from the construction aid project headquarters, Manman returned to the Poseidon neighborhood, while Li Xiaoyang and Hua Zhenxing went to the headquarters to report the situation. Ke Mengchao, who was in charge at the headquarters, was certainly not dissatisfied with the outcome of the talks and said that relevant agreements should be implemented quickly and specific work
Li Xiaoyang is also responsible for promoting it, and the procedures for hiring consultants will be completed today.
Then Xiaohua was called to the pavilion. Three old men were sitting side by side. Ke Mengchao, a junior, was in the middle, and Hua Zhenxing was standing in front of a few people. There was not even a small bench. I remember that Dafengshou was educated here.
At that time, the scene was not so serious and formal, right?
The conversation was still about the same thing just now, but what Huazhenxing said was a little different. First, it was the new tasks released by the system, then the budget funds needed to complete the tasks, and finally, Manman mentioned that the International Terminal might be sold.
Uncle Mo actually already knew the latest situation at the International Terminal.
This wharf was built in the colonial era and has a history of almost two hundred years. Its ownership has changed several times and it was once nationalized after the independence of Kiribati. It was then restructured and is now operated by the International Port Company.
This is a joint venture in which the local government of Fiso Port holds 40% of the shares, and the remaining shareholders are various private individuals and overseas investors. The main dilemma of the International Terminal is that its business volume has dropped sharply, and its income has also dropped significantly. Currently, it has
Several maturing debts have been overdue. According to this trend, it may be difficult to repay subsequent maturing debts in the future.
If you are unable to repay due debts, you may enter bankruptcy liquidation procedures, but the situation of international terminals is very special. Because terminals and ports are heavy asset projects, their replacement costs are very high. It can be said that even with all the current financial resources of Huanxiang Industrial,
It is impossible to rebuild such a pier from scratch.
The International Terminal is very important. It is the main import and export channel for materials in Fiso Port, and it is also the channel for controlling and calculating tax collection. Controlling it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the city.
Led by the internationally renowned investment bank Milin Group, several major creditors including Hui Feng Bank were organized to develop a debt restructuring plan and divest all relevant debts to a new overseas investment company.
This company became the only creditor of the port company by assuming debts, and then exchanged debts for equity, becoming its largest shareholder.
However, this plan was rejected by the port company, and Milin Group proposed a new plan. Since the port company had mortgaged many terminal assets when borrowing money, when each creditor divested its debt, it also divested the mortgage rights to the new company. The port company
If future due debts cannot be repaid, the remaining terminal assets can be re-evaluated and continue to be mortgaged to the company...
In short, the restructuring plan is very complicated. If the operating conditions of International Terminals cannot improve in the short term, all terminal assets will probably fall into the hands of this overseas investment company at a very low price.
The port company can choose not to repay the money, but it is not afraid of defaulting on its debts. If the debt is not restructured as required, the international terminal will not be able to operate normally for a long time, and related import and export activities will be stagnant, as will the Kingdom of Kyri and the Port of Amisor.
Loss of subsequent tariff revenue.
Old Man Yang finally concluded: "Every local crisis in this world is often a feast, and the most valuable assets are often changed hands at low prices. Some people see benefits in a crisis, and later become accustomed to actively provoking crises and letting people
The assets you want to acquire have depreciated in value.”
Hua Zhenxing asked worriedly: "Then what should we do? Just watch the International Terminal being taken away?"
Ke Mengchao: "If the International Terminal can still operate normally, no matter who it belongs to, it actually doesn't matter to us. We are afraid that after the change of ownership, someone who takes control of the terminal will specifically target us and create obstacles for Huanxiang Industrial's import and export of materials.
These things are not something you can worry about right now, we will keep a close eye on it and try to solve this hidden danger when we have the chance."
Old Man Yang added: "Just keep paying attention. There are many things in the world, so just study."
Uncle Mo added: "No matter how the International Terminal operates, the Poseidon Gang and the New Alliance are very important, because no one else here can replace these staff. Without our people, the terminal cannot operate."
After a heavy drink, Hua Zhenxing, whose mentality was just a little swollen, was suppressed by three old people again. Even in a small Fiso port, there are still many things that he can't do anything about.
Even if he has cultivated in the Third Realm and is already the "boss behind the scenes" of the new alliance, he still has a long way to go if he wants to change the old structure here. Let alone founding the Kingdom of Huanxiang and establishing a new structure in the world.
Early the next morning, Locke came to the grocery store as promised, and Manman was already here. Locke's condition had recovered somewhat, but he still looked a little tired. I don't know if it was the impact of the old injury or the fact that he had been following Wang for the past two days.
Tired of hard work after a good harvest.
Manman took out a small porcelain bottle, the same one that contained the fairy powder last time, and poured out three dark blue pills from it and handed them to Locke. Each pill was slightly larger than a peanut.
This was just refined by Hua Zhenxing last night. The raw material was the Millennium Immortality Core that Yang Tehong gave him last time. Hua Zhenxing basically understood its spiritual properties based on his own experience in taking it for transportation and transformation.
Refining desert rose rhizomes that have grown for more than a thousand years into a thousand-year-old immortal core is actually extracting its physical essence. And further refining it into the elixir in front of you is condensing its spiritual properties and extracting its vitality-inducing effect.
.
The three old men thought that Xiaohua might be able to refine the Thousand-year-old Pill with the cultivation of the Three Realms, but they did not expect that he would fiddle with something similar that night.
Compared with the "authentic" Chitose Pill, Xiaohua's refined pill at the moment is still a bit hot, but it definitely does not affect taking it, and the size and dosage are in line with the requirements. In practice terms, it can be used for a week.
effect.
The process of refining the Millennium Immortality Core into the Chisui Dan is irreversible. The Millennium Immortality Core can be used as one of the raw materials for refining the Chunrong Dan. It can be taken by ordinary people by mixing it with other ingredients, but the Chisui Dan is already a
Monk's Pill.
Most of the elixirs used by monks have their corresponding requirements for taking them and how to transport them after taking them. Therefore, ordinary people cannot take them, and even monks cannot take them at will.
Welwitschia is beneficial and rejuvenating, just like the Welwitschia in the desert, which seems to have died long ago, but grows rapidly when the rainy season comes.
This elixir is not used to treat Locke's injuries, but to assist him in practicing the art of cultivating the essence. Locke has already cultivated in the three realms, so Hua Zhenxing can do this.
The so-called "Yuan" in Yangyuan Technique refers to vitality, which is similar to the so-called "Jing" in Neidan Technique, and the introduction to Yangyuan Technique starts with the inherent vitality.
In principle, Yangyuan Technique itself is the best way to heal injuries. As long as Locke can successfully get started and practice to the second level, his old injuries will be healed without medicine.
Locke has already cultivated the third realm, but that does not mean that he can cultivate the Yangyuan Technique to the second realm. This is still two different things. The Yangyuan Technique originally meant a reference for him, but Hua Zhenxing now requires him to cultivate the Yangyuan Technique.
The technique is the main skill and should be practiced from scratch.
Locke is quite old and suffers from old injuries. His flaw is that he lacks inner vitality, so he needs to use the Thousand Years Pill to assist him in getting started and practice. Three pills are enough.
Hua Zhenxing had a total of five thousand-year-old pills refined from the thousand-year-old immortality core, and the other two were left to Manman. Manman's situation was different from Locke's. She actually had no need for the thousand-year-old pill, but after she started practicing,
This elixir can help her "increase her power", or it can be used as a backup healing medicine.
As for Hua Zhenxing himself, he can also take Welwitschia flowers next.
The heavy rainy season has just arrived every year, and it is the time to harvest and refine it. There are more than 20,000 Welwitschia plants waiting for him to discover, and more than 200 of them are ready for use. If they are all used to refine the Thousand-year-old Immortal Core, they can then be refined into the Thousand-Year-Old Plant.
Dan, there is so much that you can eat it as a meal.
Hua Zhenxing has not realized one thing at this moment. In the next more than a year, his "alchemy" tasks will be unimaginably heavy. Unless his skill greatly increases, he will have to use Jindianxing's alchemy workshop.
If he used the alchemy workshop, it would not count as completing the system task. Now, he thought of refining the Millennium Immortality Core and the Thousand Years Pill.
Locke was very nervous when he came. He thought that Huazhen Guild would ask about his origins and the secret techniques he had learned. However, Huazhen Xing did not mention this at all, and directly taught him the art of cultivating energy, and explained it in great detail based on his own cultivation experience.
Locke is not a novice like Manman. He immediately realized that this is an inheritance with a complete system. Although Hua Zhenxing is currently teaching only the basic part, if you break through each level on this basis, you will have unlimited possibilities.
possible.
These "possibility" are personalized, just like Manman's water control technique and Locke's paper airplane. There are no specific application contents in Yangyuan Art, but it is the foundation of cultivation that supports all these methods.
Locke has his own secret method inheritance system, but the inheritance has been interrupted because his teacher and companions are no longer there. Now he sees another hope.
Although Hua Zhenxing's cultivation level may not be higher than his, this set of Yangyuan Techniques is clearly the ladder leading to a higher realm. He taught it to him without saying a word, and answered all questions. Although this child is not old, he is
There are only two words in Locke's mind - atmosphere.
After explaining the cultivation method of Yang Yuan Shu and the assessment standards for each level, Hua Zhenxing told Locke that he could practice it on his own after returning home, and he could use the Thousand Years Pill to help him get started.
Even if the old injury has not healed, he can still use the Chitose Pill to assist him in his cultivation after he gets started. It should be no problem to reach the second level, and by then it will be a matter of course to break through to the third level.
Locke felt that words of thanks were redundant. He listened to whatever Hua Zhenxing told him anyway, and took the initiative to report on the "work" of the past two days.
In Locke's view, with Wang Fengshou's methods already firmly under control at the grassroots level, it is not too difficult to take over the superstructure of the North Bay District. Over time, all levels of government affairs departments will be replaced by the new alliance.
It is not difficult to reorganize people as required.
But Wang Fengshou also took on another task, which was to eradicate the escaped high-level officials of Beigang Freight and Civilized Trade as soon as possible. This matter was more complicated and trivial, because no matter how great one was, one had to find those people first.
Wang Fengshou was not very familiar with Port Feso, and Locke had been helping these two days, using original channels to find out information, and then going to suspected locations to investigate. His elusive paper airplanes were just perfect for this, especially at night.
He is compiling a hiding map based on the list, and then Wang Fengshou can go to "targeted elimination" one by one.
Hua Zhenxing said: "You can tell me the situation at any time. When you encounter a difficult bone, I will bring the guys to help. Tell Wang Fengshou, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you can't show off. I have eighty-two recoilless power here."
gun."
The so-called 82 recoilless rifle is actually a shoulder-fired single-shot rocket launcher with a caliber of 82 mm.
There was something like this in the cellar of the grocery store, with ten rounds of ammunition. Old man Yang didn't know where he got it. Yesterday he told Hua Zhenxing that he could use it if necessary.
