Chapter 2025 Decision
The conference room suddenly fell silent.
Although many of the shareholders present were second-generation wealthy, they were still shocked when they heard about Pi Yangyang's huge appetite.
If Pi Yangyang hadn't proposed this trillion-dollar investment project, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Generally speaking, such projects will be divided into many sections and tendered in sections.
Because this involves many fields, no single company can fully complete this project.
Of course, the most important thing is funding.
Although each of the five largest families in China has a scale of over 100 billion yuan, their actual cash flow is not estimated based on the total value of their family's assets.
Even if the four major wealthy families, plus several large families in Qingjiang, and the current funds of the Yan Group, they definitely cannot come up with one trillion.
So, everyone was silent.
First, I found it unbelievable, and second, I believed that the decisions made by Pi Yangyang had never failed.
Everyone stared at Pi Yangyang, waiting for him to make more explanations.
"I know everyone has doubts and thinks I'm fanciful." Pi Yangyang knew what everyone was thinking and said slowly, "But I want to tell you that this isn't some impulsive fantasy."
"Chairman, we trust your decision," Lin Jingxue said slowly. "However, President Lan just mentioned that the total investment for this project is over one trillion yuan. Even for the first phase, it's at least seven hundred billion yuan. Given that this project is a comprehensive development, primarily an industrial park, we need to prepare at least 20% of the start-up capital, which is one hundred and forty billion yuan. Once the project is launched, the relocation and resettlement of the two villages will be a bottomless pit. No one knows how much money will be invested..."
The Lin family is in Yangcheng and their main business is real estate, so she does have a say in this matter.
Listening to her analysis, Zhao Ruyu, Gu Tianshuang and others nodded slightly in agreement.
Even Chu Ge nodded. "Ms. Lin is right. The most difficult part of this project lies in these two villages. As President Lan just mentioned, these are two large villages that have existed for hundreds of years. They have strong local values and practice family-style management. Simply throwing money at them might not be enough to complete their relocation... Otherwise, that place wouldn't have been forced to close five years ago."
Pi Yangyang hummed, "What you're talking about is indeed a problem, but it's not completely unsolvable. There's a saying that goes, 'Everything depends on human effort,' and as long as we find a way, we can always find a solution. This project was personally approved and supervised by a senior official in Beijing. It aims to create an industrial and economic zone around Beijing and move some polluting enterprises out of the capital for centralized environmental treatment. So, no matter how difficult this project is, we should trust the determination of the higher-ups."
"Actually, there's no need to worry so much," said Zhao Jingang, who had been silent the whole time. "Since this is a project that the chairman is optimistic about, I think everyone should give it their full support. We invested not to become shareholders of Yan's Group, but to repay a favor. But the chairman, with a sense of righteousness, converted our kindness into shares in Yan's. In just one year, Yan's development has been witnessed by all. Instead of worrying about this and that, why not work with the chairman to find a way to grab this piece of fat meat!"
"That makes sense!" Chu Ge seemed to suddenly understand. "Alright, let's soar to the sky with Yan's family! If we fail, the worst that can happen is we can start all over again! Besides, I believe in the chairman, there's no way I can fail!"
The two of them sang the same tune, which immediately dispelled the doubts of several shareholders.
"Okay, in that case, I have nothing to worry about." Lin Jingxue said, "Chairman, just tell me what we should do."
A hint of determination flashed in Pi Yangyang's eyes, and he said solemnly, "Everyone is clear about the situation. Regarding this project, I will not force you. Let's still conduct a democratic vote according to the company's regulations. Shareholders who are in favor of taking on this project, please raise your hands!"
After saying that, he took the lead in raising his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jingang and Chu Ge raised their hands to agree without hesitation.
Immediately, all shareholders present raised their hands.
Pi Yangyang took a quick look and said with satisfaction, "It seems everyone has a good appetite. All shareholders are present today except Lu Xiaowan. I am entrusted by Lu Xiaowan to express her position on this project. It is unanimously approved and agreed to strive for it."
Applause broke out again in the conference room to celebrate the unanimous approval.
"Next, we'll talk about practical issues." After the applause died down, Pi Yangyang spoke slowly, "Ms. Lin just mentioned that funding is one issue, and the relocation and resettlement of Wu Village and Bai Village is another. Today, we must first make a decision and discuss a solution for the funding issue."
Having said that, he paused and glanced at all the shareholders.
Zhao Jingang said casually, "Chairman, just tell me what you think."
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Pi Yangyang tapped the table lightly with his right hand. "Ms. Lin mentioned that we need to prepare 20% of the 700 billion yuan first phase investment, which is over 140 billion yuan. But I think that's far from enough. Once the project is won, we'll have to pay for the demolition and relocation of Wucun and Baicun, which will be a huge amount of money. So, my idea is that we need to prepare at least 500 billion yuan to ensure that there's no funding shortage."
"Five hundred billion?!"
Zhao Ruyu couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Yes, 500 billion, this is the minimum estimate." Pi Yangyang nodded.
"But the funds in the group's accounts don't even cover a fraction of that...the 500 billion..."
Tang Ruijing said in astonishment.
Pi Yangyang glanced around sharply and said, "So, it requires the concerted efforts of all shareholders present here to achieve this goal. I don't think I need to elaborate on the prospects of this project. It not only involves the centralized management of our group's industries, but also the layout of industrial companies around the entire capital. As long as we can win, the long-term benefits will be immeasurable."
"So, I'd like to propose an idea to everyone. Upon returning home, please explain this project to your families and have them invest in it together. I believe that with the strength of China's four largest families, as well as the Zhao family in the provincial capital, the Gu family in Qingjiang, the Wan family, and so on, it won't be too difficult to acquire this project. If there's still a funding gap, I will seek help from the Wu family in Hong Kong and seek investment bank financing..."
Pi Yangyang expressed exactly what was in his mind.
He spoke these words calmly, but everyone present was deeply moved.
It is more of a gamble than an investment.
Moreover, it was a huge gamble involving the four major wealthy families and several local families.
If it succeeds, the four major families will simultaneously leap to a new height, and several local families will also soar to new heights.
If they lose, the four great families will certainly suffer heavy losses, and several local families may even be unable to recover.
"My Zhao family is on board with this project!" Zhao Jingang was the first to break the silence, saying firmly, "The four great families, plus so many local families, and the Wu family in Gangcheng, if we can't even take on a trillion-dollar project, we'll be laughed at if we tell anyone!"
Chu Ge let out a long sigh, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, "I will go back to Bincheng immediately and convince my grandmother that the Chu family will follow this project."
"My Lin family followed too!"
"My Chen family followed too!"
Lin Jingxue and Chen Ruoxi also expressed their opinions.
The atmosphere suddenly became heated, and the remaining second generations of the local families naturally had no reason to back off.
With their status, being able to be tied to the four major families, sharing life and death with them, is an honor regardless of success or failure.
Several executives attending the meeting were also infected and applauded, congratulating all shareholders for reaching an agreement.
A comfortable smile appeared on Pi Yangyang's face, and he joined in the applause.
When the applause died down, he slowly stood up, bowed deeply to everyone, and said earnestly, "Thank you all for your trust. I will do my best to win this project and give everyone a satisfactory answer."
"Chairman, you're too polite. This is our joint decision. We believe that with the Chairman's ability, this project can not only be won, but also completed successfully."
"Yes, just tell us what you need us to do. We will mobilize all the family resources and provide full support."
"........."
Lin Jingxue, Chen Ruoxi and others bowed in return.
"Finally, let me emphasize one more thing." After a moment, Pi Yangyang said solemnly, "Until the project is secured, all decisions regarding the company will remain confidential. When you return, please explain this clearly to your families. As for when the news will be released, please wait for notification."
"Yes, Chairman!"
This time, everyone present answered in unison.
