C465 Desperate situation

Hearing his cousin's words, Liang Fengshan's heart grew cold. He hurriedly said to Joukan Soutaku: "Joukan Soutaku, the total assets of your Fengshan Group and 'Milky Way' should be equivalent to thirteen billion, right?

"In that case, even if we don't have the money to return it to the bank for the time being, it should be fine, right?"

Joukan Soutaku shook his head: "The production equipment and plants that the Fengshan Group have added together should be more than three billion.

However, the factories under Fengshan Group were originally state enterprises, and they had huge debts before we bought them.

It didn't matter much before, but now the banks are going through our finances, so those debts will be added to our liabilities.

This way, the total assets of the Fengshan Group would only be around two and a half billion. "

The state-owned beverage companies that Fengshan Group had originally purchased all owed a lot of debts due to the corruption of their leaders, and after Fengshan Group had been purchased, those debts were transferred to the finances of Fengshan Group.

If it was before, because of Liang Tiantang's relationship, no one would ever dare to chase after a debt from the Fengshan Group, as those debts were only the numbers recorded in the Fengshan Group's accounts.

But now, the bank had to investigate the loan known as Fengshan Group, and since this was a direct order from the State Council, even though Liang Hengtang was behind the Fengshan Group, the bank did not dare to practice favouritism.

Therefore, the numbers on the Fengshan Group's accounts would directly become the liabilities of the Fengshan Group.

Joukan Soutaku continued, "Also, the value of the 'Milky Way' is not as much as eight billion.

Although Jingyu County's mineral water development rights could not be sold out, it did not affect its value. Jingyu County's right to develop mineral water and that production base were still worth four billion, but the development department of 'Milky Way' and the other factories added together were estimated to be worth 1.5 billion.

So, all of 'Milky Way's' assets are worth only five and a half billion. "

"You, didn't you say that 'Milky Way' was worth eight billion?" Liang Fengshan asked.

"That was before the Milky Way sold the formula and production rights to Coca-Cola."

Liang Fengshan's face changed drastically as he asked again, "But, didn't Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola also offer over 7 billion to buy 'Milky Way'? If the Milky Way is only worth five billion and 500 million, how would they be willing to do it? "

Joukan Soutaku said: "I am not sure about that, maybe they know that 'Milky Way' has other values."

Liang Fengshan's expression kept changing, and this time, he was truly panicking in his heart. Fengshan Group and the entire assets of the Milky Way Drink Group were only eight billion, but he owed thirteen billion to the Construction Bank and Industrial Bank. The difference was more than five billion.

"Our company still has about a billion in liquid capital." Joukan Soutaku said: "If that's the case, then the difference between our company's assets and liabilities will be more than four billion.

But in fact, the assets are not only the company's fixed and liquid assets, but also intangible assets, such as our company's brand, and also our company's development potential.

So, if you can do the valuation report a little better, there shouldn't be a big problem with the bank. "

Hearing Joukan Soutaku's words, Liang Fengshan heaved a sigh of relief, his expression becoming less ugly.

On the surface, Joukan Soutaku was comforting Liang Fengshan, but he was actually sneering in his heart: "It definitely won't be that simple, Zhou Hao's trick isn't over yet."

Just as expected, right after Joukan Soutaku finished speaking, a secretary pushed open the door and walked in with an anxious expression.

Liang Fengshan was already in a bad mood, and seeing that the secretary was reckless, he immediately opened his mouth and scolded: "What the f * * k happened to you? Not even knocking at the door? "

"Total... "General Manager, I'm sorry." The secretary quickly apologized and said, "Something happened. Coca-Cola filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court against our company for violating their patent."

This news was like a bomb that had been thrown into Liang Fengshan's heart, causing his mind to explode loudly. He said angrily, "How is that possible? Why would Coca-Cola suddenly sue us?"

The secretary said, "Coca-Cola said it had purchased the 'Fruit Orange' formula from 'Tianhe' earlier and held a press conference. It said that our company's' More Fresh Orange 'was an infringement of the' Fruit Orange 'patent."

Coca-Cola acquired the "fruit orange" formula and production rights of Tianhe Beverages, so the patent protection that Tianhe Beverages originally applied to the state was transferred to Coca-Cola.

Liang Fengshan was well aware that he had sent someone to steal the recipe for the "Fruit Jelly Orange". He said, "Coca-Cola, what evidence do they have that we violated their patents? They were framed! "

Seeing Liang Fengshan's face which looked extremely sinister because of his anger, the secretary took a step back in fear and said timidly: "General Manager, Sales Department, Personnel Department and the Production Department, they … "They …"

"What happened to them?" Liang Fengshan roared.

"They were at the Coca-Cola press conference. It turned out that our company had sent someone to steal the recipe for 'Fruit Orange'."

"What!" Liang Fengshan felt like he was struck by lightning, because he never would have thought that the managers of the three important departments in his company would simultaneously go back on their word and accuse him of stealing the recipe of "Fruit Jelly Orange".

At the side, Joukan Soutaku's heart was also in turmoil. He subconsciously guessed that the reason the three managers betrayed Fengshan Group was probably not because of Coca-Cola, but rather Zhou Hao.

But looking at the situation now, no one would think of Zhou Hao and would believe that it was a move Coca-Cola had taken to protect their own interests.

Regarding this lawsuit, the probability of Fengshan Group winning was very low. This was because previously, when Fengshan Group and "Tianhe" were in a lawsuit, the court had already determined that the "Fruit Jelly Orange" formula was a patent for "Tianhe".

Now that it was only a Coca-Cola's patent, and now that the three managers of Fengshan Group had come out to testify, it was very strong evidence.

Coca-Cola, on the other hand, was on a completely different scale from Tianhe. Even if the Jiangsu government wanted to protect their Fengshan Group, it wouldn't help, because Coca-Cola was one of the most famous groups in the world, and the slightest carelessness could cause diplomatic problems.

As a result, the most important product of Fengshan Group, "More Fresh Orange", would very likely be ordered to stop production. At the same time, the brand and reputation of Fengshan Group would be ruined.

"Mister Liang, if this is the case, then our corporation will lose its intangible assets as well."

At this time, Joukan Soutaku spoke out, "Furthermore, this time our company is not simply insolvent, our company's reputation has been destroyed, and our potential for growth has been greatly reduced. So our company is not only insolvent, we are also not able to repay our debts."

He sighed. "And now CCB and ICBC are going to have to look into loan projects, so they're likely to force our company into bankruptcy liquidation to repay the loan."

Liang Fengshan's face was pale. Suddenly, his legs gave way and he sat on the ground and muttered, "What … "How could this be …"

The day before, he was still immersed in the excitement of defeating Zhou Hao, but he didn't expect that he would be trapped in this kind of situation today.

Furthermore, this time, not only was the problem of his Fengshan Group gone bankrupt, but it would also implicate Liang Tiantang. Not only was Liang Tiantang's promotion hopeless, he might also be investigated by some sort of discipline due to financial problems, and perhaps even the position of the governor would be shaken.

At this moment, another secretary came in, followed by more than a dozen men in police uniforms and suits.

When the secretary saw Liang Fengshan sitting dejectedly on the ground, he was first shocked for a moment. Then, he said hesitantly, "Chief … General Manager, these are the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security. They said they want your assistance in investigating the theft of the 'Fruit Orange' formula.

There are also a few of them, they are from the China Banking Regulatory Commission, they said they want to investigate our company's finances. "

The leader of the police stepped forward and said to Liang Fengshan: "Mr. Liang, we are from the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. We would like to ask for your assistance in investigating on the matter of Fengshan Group stealing the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula.

It could be that Coca-Cola knew about the Fengshan Group in Beijing, so it put pressure on the Government of China and had the Ministry of Public Security directly investigate.

Liang Fengshan shuddered violently, then pointed at Joukan Soutaku and shouted, "I am completely unaware of the matter regarding the 'Fruit Jelly Orange' formula. He is entirely in charge of it.

Joukan Soutaku's expression changed, he did not expect Liang Fengshan to blame him in such a situation.

Before he could say anything, two policemen came over and caught him. The commander said, "Bring them all back!"

Although Liang Fengshan was also going to be taken away, he was not too worried.

If an ordinary person entered the Public Security Bureau, they would at least lose a layer of skin if they didn't die. However, he was still the governor's son. At the very least, he wouldn't be tortured by the police.

However, the few people from the China Banking Regulatory Commission also came up to Liang Fengshan and said, "Mr. Liang, we are from the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

As your Fengshan Group owes a total of 13.5 billion and 60 million in loans to the Construction Bank and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, we would like to check your financial situation and ask for your cooperation. "

Liang Fengshan raised his head to look at the serious faces of the staff from the Banking Regulatory Commission, and his expression became dejected. He muttered to himself: "I'm finished … "It's all over this time …"
