Chapter 701: Chen Fan's Solution
"First, I can invest in buying your electronics factory."
Chen Fan's first sentence left Fang Xizhi stunned.
Fang Ling also looked surprised, as this seemed different from what Chen Fan had said yesterday.
Fang Xizhi's expression was somewhat unhappy, feeling that Chen Fan was also trying to take advantage of the situation.
But in the next second, Chen Fan's words directly shocked Fang Xizhi.
"I can invest 40 million yuan to buy your electronics factory outright."
Fang Xizhi immediately sat up straight.
"Re... really?"
That would be fantastic.
The electronics factory in the Fang family's hands was now a hot potato. With the cooperation project gone and the factory not operating, they still had to support so many workers.
Just the workers' salaries each month were no small expense.
40 million yuan was the ideal price Fang Xizhi had publicly stated.
In fact, he thought selling for just over 30 million would be acceptable.
He didn't expect Chen Fan to open with an offer to buy the factory for 40 million yuan.
"Mr. Chen..."
Fang Xizhi sat up straight, somewhat excited.
But Chen Fan raised his hand to interrupt him and continued speaking.
"Your real estate company is also about to fail."
"However, I have a way to help you keep the real estate company."
"I've had someone estimate, and I can invest 150 million yuan to acquire 51% of the shares in your real estate company."
Fang Xizhi's expression froze.
"You... you want to buy into the Fang family's real estate company?"
Fang Xizhi was a bit embarrassed.
"I... hadn't thought about selling shares in the real estate company."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"I'm not forcing you. But Mr. Fang, you might want to consider it."
"The real estate company in your hands has basically completely given up now."
"I think even those few bosses who have been waiting to acquire your company probably wouldn't offer 150 million yuan."
"You can either let it go bankrupt, sell it to other bosses, or let me buy in. At least you can still keep this company."
Chen Fan gave three options.
Fang Xizhi wasn't satisfied with any of these three options.
Because he hadn't originally planned to sell the real estate company.
This was the foundation of the Fang family's standing.
For so many years, the Fang family had always relied on this to make their fortune.
Seeing her father not speaking, Fang Ling beside him glanced at Chen Fan, then looked at her father.
"Dad..."
Fang Xizhi didn't react.
But in his heart, he understood that the conditions Chen Fan offered were the best.
Call it taking advantage of the situation if you will, but at least he showed enough sincerity.
"Mr. Chen, can the shares be a bit less?"
Fang Xizhi asked hopefully.
51% of the shares was equivalent to directly handing the company over to Chen Fan. In the future, the Fang family would completely lose control of the company.
Chen Fan shook his head.
"I'm sorry. 51% is my bottom line."
"However, I can give you a promise. After buying in, I won't interfere with the company's management. In the future, the entire company will still be run by your Fang family."
Fang Xizhi's expression was bitter, "It seems I have no other choice."
Chen Fan raised his hand: "Mr. Fang doesn't need to answer me in a hurry, you can think it over carefully. Because I still have one last condition."
Fang Xizhi's face began to look somewhat unpleasant.
"Please go ahead."
"I know the Fang family is a family business. I hope that after I buy in, all of the Fang family relatives will withdraw from management. From then on, they will only hold shares and receive dividends."
Fang Xizhi's expression changed.
"That's impossible!"
"Even if I agreed, they wouldn't agree."
Chen Fan smiled: "Don't be so absolute. You can go back and discuss it with them."
"Rather than slowly waiting for the company to go bankrupt and lose everything, choose an opportunity to hold shares and receive dividends from now on."
"I think if the Fang family members are smart, they should know how to choose."
"Of course, if they choose to refuse, such people don't have the qualifications to stay in the company anymore. Don't you agree?"
Fang Xizhi's face didn't look too good.
"Mr. Chen just said he wouldn't participate in company management."
Chen Fan shrugged: "This is just my condition. You can decide on the vacant management positions yourself. You can recruit managers with high salaries, or poach people from other companies."
"Actually, if you think about it, this is for the good of your Fang family."
Fang Xizhi fell silent.
Although Chen Fan's words didn't sound too pleasant to hear, if things really went as Chen Fan said, it would indeed be best for the Fang family's future development.
Fang Xizhi silently lowered his head to think.
Chen Fan didn't disturb him, just drank his tea by himself.
Fang Ling beside him silently watched Chen Fan, her eyes complex.
Originally, she thought Chen Fan chose to help because of her.
But now everything Chen Fan was doing seemed like a businessman taking advantage of the situation, purely talking business.
She didn't care how much advantage Chen Fan took of the Fang family.
But she cared whether Chen Fan was doing all this for her or not.
Fang Xizhi thought for more than 10 minutes.
In fact, no matter how long he thought, he had no other choice.
Because just as Chen Fan said earlier.
The Fang family was already at the edge of a cliff.
Everyone wanted to pounce and swallow up the Fang family.
Only Chen Fan came to talk about cooperation.
And now it seemed that in this deal, the Fang family wasn't losing out.
The only thing that made Fang Xizhi a bit uneasy was Chen Fan's request for 51% of the shares.
Finally, Fang Xizhi raised his head to look at Chen Fan.
"Mr. Chen, does it have to be 51%?"
Chen Fan put down his teacup and spoke calmly.
"Mr. Fang, to be honest, the reason I can sit here and think of solutions for you is purely because Fang Ling and I are friends."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't need to get involved. I have my own real estate company, and the assets your Fang family has left now, I'm not interested in."
These words were very direct, making Fang Xizhi very embarrassed.
But Fang Ling beside him was very satisfied, her heart was extremely pleased.
Chen Fan added one more sentence: "I don't understand what Mr. Fang is hesitating about now."
"Sell the electronics factory, add the money from my investment, you can pay off the bank debts, and in the future, the Fang family can focus on running the real estate company, starting fresh. What's not good about that?"
Fang Xizhi looked at Chen Fan and suddenly asked: "Mr. Chen, I can agree to your conditions."
"But, you also need to give me some confidence. With the Fang family's current situation, it's impossible to revive just with the money from your investment."
"If we can't solve the current situation, the company will still die a slow death in the future..."
Chen Fan was silent for a few seconds, and finally lightly tapped the table.
"I can give you one sentence."
"This sentence will only be known by the three of us here. Once we leave this room, act like you never heard it."
Seeing Chen Fan so serious, Fang Xizhi couldn't help but become curious.
Chen Fan looked at him and slowly said: "In the near future, Yunhai will develop the western district, and I have taken on the demolition and reconstruction work for the entire shantytown area."
Fang Xizhi was stunned at first.
Then his entire face showed shock as his eyes widened and his mouth slowly opened.
