Chapter 91: Stupid
"I'm going to play with my classmates. I want to go home and change into nicer clothes."

Tao Shuxin hurriedly explained without waiting for her father to speak.

Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also turned around and saw that she was wearing jeans, an egg-yolk jacket, and a pure white inner layer. It was obvious that these clothes were carefully selected last night.

If the requirement to wear school uniforms is on weekends, that's a good reason, but this youthful and pretty girl doesn't look like she needs to change clothes.

You just mean to change into some more casual clothes.

How clumsy.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head helplessly and glanced at Tao Changming casually.

How could a smart person like you give birth to a girl like this?

If she had been smarter, he wouldn't have to hide away from Teacher He.

Tao Shuxin was very curious about what Xu Mingyuan was doing mysteriously all day long, and even her father was dragged into it.

When Tao Shuxin heard her father and Xu Mingyuan say that her mother was not at home, she realized that this was not a revenge, and without thinking, she pulled Tang Lin into the car.

What we talk about privately are things that need to be decided. Since they are not made clear over the phone, they are more important.

It should be the result from Junxing Electronics, and we just need to see whether it is good or bad.

"Taotao, go buy some fruit."

After parking the car downstairs, Tao Changming took out another hundred yuan.

"There are some at home."

Seeing her father being so generous, Tao Shuxin felt that he just wanted to get rid of her. No matter whether there was fruit at home or not, she would definitely not buy any.

When Xu Mingyuan visited the Tao family again, he didn't expect it would happen so soon. He thought he would have to wait until he graduated from high school.

Tao Shuxin gave a pair of her own slippers to Tang Lin, then stopped Xu Mingyuan and took out a new pair of slippers and put them on the ground.

My dad often brings guests home recently, so I can’t let Xu Mingyuan wear second-hand shoes.

Noticing the disappointed look on Tao Changming's face, Xu Mingyuan could only pretend he didn't know and finally took off his shoes before entering the room.

Xu Mingyuan admired this point about Tao Changming very much, that is, he would not mix personal matters with serious matters. He is a real character.

Tao Shuxin obediently went to get a kettle of water. Seeing her father and Xu Mingyuan sitting opposite each other and chatting about trivial matters, she helped to boil the water.

When I was tearing the tea bag, it spilled all over the table.

Then she hurriedly swept all the tea leaves into the bowl, waited for the hot water to boil, and poured it on top. It seemed that she didn't want to waste any of the tea leaves that Xu Mingyuan sent her.

Xu Mingyuan found it funny, but seeing Tao Changming looked relieved, he had to hold back his laughter.

Without even rinsing the tea, Tao Shuxin poured four cups directly and rolled her eyes arrogantly when she shared the portions with Xu Mingyuan.

Seeing that Tao Changming didn't care, Xu Mingyuan wasn't a particular person either. He blew at the tea that didn't even have any foam on it, and took two sips.

Not much different from ordinary parents, Tao Changming asked the three of them if they were tired at school. He listened to the two little girls' chattering and complaints, comforted them with a few words, and then gave them some advice and lectures.

Suddenly, it became quiet. Tao Changming stopped trying to find a topic to talk about. He just sat there and scratched his hair from time to time.
Xu Mingyuan could see that he was craving for cigarettes. It took him more than an hour to get home from school, which was really hard for this heavy smoker.

The two silly girls next to them were sitting there like recorders, without any tact at all.

"Taotao, you two should go out and play."

"No, I want to stay with my dad for a while."

Tao Shuxin shook her head repeatedly.

"I'll call your mother and ask her to come home."

Do you want to stay with me a little longer?

This sentence obviously annoyed Tao Changming. He took out his cell phone with a stern face and pretended to call.

"No, no, no! Dad! I'll leave right away!"

Tao Shuxin immediately jumped up from the chair and ran away faster than a rabbit.

Tang Lin, who was left behind, was stunned, and hurriedly followed, closing the door.

At Tao Changming's signal, Xu Mingyuan went to close the door again, leaving no gap.

Tao Changming took out a cigarette box, thought about it and decided not to give it to Xu Mingyuan. He lit one for himself and took two puffs to take half of it.

Seeing that his relaxed brows suddenly tightened again, Xu Mingyuan turned around curiously.

I saw the two little girls found a blanket at some point and spread it on the floor of the living room. They also picked up a pile of clothes and sat on it, searching through them busily.

Xu Mingyuan was immediately happy.

But Tao Changming just shook his head and ignored it.

"Taotao, this is quite nice, why haven't I seen you wearing it before?"

Tang Lin picked out a plush sweatshirt and compared it to Tao Shuxin.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Tao Shuxin quickly put her index finger to cover her mouth.

You damn girl, you really picked it!
The conversation in the tea room was not loud, and the soundproofing was very good. Even if I secretly moved the blanket forward, I still couldn't hear anything. As the two of them chose silently, Tao Shuxin finally threw the clothes away and angrily broke up the pile of clothes.

I put in so much effort, but it was all in vain. And I have to fold the clothes again. It makes me feel annoyed just thinking about it.

Tang Lin giggled and helped her fold the clothes.

"What! More than 60 million? You must be kidding!"

Just when the two felt hopeless, they suddenly heard Xu Mingyuan's raised voice questioning.

Tao Shuxin and Tang Lin looked at each other and saw the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

The two little girls had more or less heard of this kind of number, but it was very unexpected to hear it from Xu Mingyuan.

Tao Shuxin gradually found something from her confusion and looked at Xu Mingyuan's profile with disbelief.

Xu Mingyuan frowned and looked at Tao Changming in surprise and suspicion.

You old man, are you in collusion with others and planning to take advantage of me?

How could Junxing Electronics, a factory that doesn't have much technical accumulation, end up with a debt of more than 60 million?

The land of the factory is all industrial land. From the time the investment was made to now, it has cost more than 60 million yuan.

Taking depreciation into account and the speed of production line updates and iterations, the company has long been insolvent. Has no one ever audited it?
After spending so much effort, Xu Mingyuan would find it hard to accept even a half-price reduction.

Now, not only are they not giving us a discount, but they are even doubling the price.

Of course, it cannot be said that the price has increased, it is just sold for one dollar to bear the debt risk.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's distrust, Tao Changming threw out a document and said, "As early as three months ago, this factory borrowed more than 30 million yuan. Add to that the loans that have been coming in over the past few months and the overdue wages, and this is the amount with interest."

Xu Mingyuan looked through all the documents carefully. The debts owed by several creditors were written in great detail, but the companies that had borrowed the money had long since gone bankrupt and liquidated, so there was no way he could get the money back.

After a cigarette-long silence, Tao Changming smiled and asked, "Well, what are your plans? Do you still want to continue?"

"Well, if I choose to quit, will it be difficult for Uncle Tao?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

No one wants to offer help only to end up with nothing.

"Fortunately, you helped me a lot. I'll take this small matter for you."

Tao Changming waved his hands and didn't care.

"Then I'm ready to negotiate. My qualifications are just enough."

Xu Mingyuan didn't think about it for a long time. At this time, he was only faced with two problems: whether to spend money to buy time, or spend time to buy money.

Money is not hard to make, but time can never be earned back once it passes.

Xu Mingyuan's initial idea was to acquire the company in full and then seek a bank loan.

Now it’s almost the same thing, you get a factory for free, and those debts are equivalent to bank loans.

Although they are all short-term debts within one to three years, they can be repaid bit by bit, but the interest rate is much higher than that of the bank.

"Don't make a decision in a hurry. The company has a good turnover. But it has a huge debt. Not counting the interest, it will take at least four or five years to pay it off."

Tao Changming took a sip of tea and poured a cup for Xu Mingyuan.

I have learned a little about this kid's abilities from Li Yunfeng. He can be called a business genius.

But after all, he is still a teenager, lacking some ideas and being too impetuous.

He didn't understand the Internet, but he understood industry. In Tao Changming's eyes, it was not a wise thing to put a large amount of money into a factory that was insolvent.

Maybe you will start making money in a few years, but if you can't beat inflation, you will be losing money in yourself.

From a business perspective, Tao Changming's appreciation is one thing, but he will not try his best to stop it. Just giving a word of advice can be considered the most he can do.

Xu Mingyuan didn't say anything more, changed the subject and talked about other things.

After chatting for a while and getting the information he wanted, Xu Mingyuan turned down the invitation to dinner in the evening and prepared to leave.

Tao Changming did not try to persuade him to stay, and asked the boy to think carefully before giving his answer.

After drinking a little too much tea, Xu Mingyuan didn't rush out, but went to the bathroom prepared for guests.

As soon as the door was opened, a figure came in, pushed Xu Mingyuan in, and locked the door with a "click".

"Fuck, what do you want to do? This is your house."

Xu Mingyuan reminded hurriedly.

"It's because you're in my house that I dare to come in. What are you ashamed of? You didn't even take off your pants."

Tao Shuxin saw that he looked nervous and didn't take it seriously at all.

"You are really stupid. You are about to get beaten, do you know that?"

Xu Mingyuan felt like laughing when he was speechless.

Don't you have any defense at all?

You dare to go to the bathroom together at home, what does your father think? What if you are outside?
