Chapter 355: Chapter 216: Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Hardship and Help (Part 3)

Feng Yuzhou tightly gripped the handle beside him, both excited and a little nervous, shouting, "Isn’t it awesome, Brother Wu! This acceleration! This roar! Unbeatable!"

Wu Wei didn’t answer, but the smile on his face said it all.

He maneuvered this black beast, indulging in its performance while ensuring safety...

After a big loop, having fully experienced the SVJ’s allure, Wu Wei finally drove back to Emperor’s Heaven’s underground garage, still not quite satisfied.

Park the car, turn off the engine.

The garage returned to peace, but the roar of the engine seemed to linger in his ears.

"What a thrill!"

Wu Wei unbuckled his seatbelt and genuinely praised it.

"Haha, absolutely! It’s a Lamborghini after all!"

Feng Yuzhou was also satisfied, as if he had just finished a race himself.

As they got out of the car, Feng Yuzhou said, "Come on, Brother Wu, let’s go upstairs, check out the documents, and have a drink."

Wu Wei followed Feng Yuzhou up the stairs from the garage directly into the villa.

The villa was luxuriously decorated, with vast space, a massive crystal chandelier, and expensive solid wood furniture, showcasing the grandeur of bygone wealth everywhere.

As Wu Wei walked, he secretly admired it, feeling a bit envious: This villa is so grand. Although large apartments are convenient and modern, a villa’s privacy, sense of space, and garden courtyard offer a different kind of enjoyment. I must get a set too!

Upon entering the room, Feng Yuzhou took out a file folder from a drawer, filled with various vehicle documents, a thick stack.

Wu Wei sat on the sofa in the room, flipping through it, and asked, "Is your family not home?"

Feng Yuzhou was pouring water for Wu Wei and replied, "No, my dad and sister are still busy at the company and will probably be back very late. My mom went out to run errands in the afternoon, and my younger sister usually stays at school and doesn’t come back much."

"Oh, oh."

Wu Wei understood, nodding his head.

It seems unlikely to meet the Feng sisters today, but there’s no rush; there will be plenty of opportunities later.

After checking all the documents, Wu Wei organized them back into the folder and said, "No problem, all the documents are complete."

"Of course they are."

Feng Yuzhou smiled and said, "It’s a bit late today. How about we go to the vehicle management office tomorrow morning to handle the transfer procedures?"

Seeing Wu Wei nod, he began to explain the required documents and the general process in detail.

After discussing business, Feng Yuzhou checked the time and warmly invited, "Brother Wu, it’s getting late. How about we have dinner together tonight?"

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Sure, I’ll treat you."

Feng Yuzhou waved his hand repeatedly, with a firm attitude, "No way, I must treat you! Brother Wu, don’t refuse. Even though my family’s not as well-off as before, we can still afford to treat a good buddy to a meal."

Seeing him say this, Wu Wei didn’t refuse anymore and nodded, "Alright."

Feng Yuzhou grinned, "That’s more like it!"

...

Moments later, the two arrived at the Mei Garden Restaurant located in the Jinling Hotel.

This is a highly reputable high-end Huaiyang cuisine restaurant, elegantly decorated, quiet, and it’s a well-known Black Pearl restaurant in Nanjin, with an average cost of about five hundred yuan per person.

Choosing to treat here shows class without being overly flashy, striking the right balance.

After sitting down, Feng Yuzhou skillfully ordered a few famous Huaiyang dishes and a pot of premium Longjing tea.

The two chatted while drinking tea, and the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.

When the dishes arrived, Feng Yuzhou raised his teacup proactively, saying to Wu Wei, "Brother Wu, I don’t drink alcohol, so let me toast you with tea. Thank you for coming all this way to buy my car. You’ve really helped me out a lot." Then he drank it all in one go.

Wu Wei also raised his cup in gesture, took a sip, and said, "Each meets their needs; there’s no need to be so polite."

Feng Yuzhou put down the teacup, looking grateful, "To you, it might be each meeting their needs, but to my family, this few million in cash is really crucial right now."

Curious, Wu Wei asked, "Do you mind if I ask what’s going on with your company now?"

Feng Yuzhou paused, seemingly hesitating, but then spoke up, "Brother Wu, since you’re asking, I won’t hide it from you..."

Feng Yuzhou sighed and said, "My family’s company is called Mingchuang Precision Technology, I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it. We mainly do automotive electronics and high-end interior components, been in this field for over twenty years, and our technology is quite good..."

He took a sip of tea and continued, "These last few years with the boom of new energy vehicles and smart cars, we caught the wave. Our most significant and profitable project is the exclusive supply of the ’intelligent rotating screen central control assembly’ to ’Gao Ma Automobile’. This deal accounts for nearly half of our company’s revenue, and the profit contribution is even higher."

At this point, Feng Yuzhou’s brow furrowed, and his tone became heavy, "But the problem arises here. Starting this year’s second half, ’Gao Ma Automobile’ began delaying payments for various reasons. Initially, it was postponed by a month, then two months, three months... by now, they’ve owed us several large payments. We’ve advanced huge amounts in raw material procurement, R&D investment, and production costs, and cash flow has suddenly become extremely tight."

"My dad and sister tried every means possible, raising funds everywhere to maintain company operations, negotiating with banks, finding other clients, even mortgaging and selling off some non-core assets. My dad, recently when desperate, even personally went to Gao Ma Automobile’s headquarters... to hold a sign and protest for the money."

Feng Yuzhou’s voice lowered, a flash of embarrassment and heartache on his face, "Recently, there are also industry rumors that ’Gao Ma Automobile’ has its financial problems, possibly won’t hold out much longer, and the money they owe us might never be repaid."

He looked up, gazing at Wu Wei with a face full of loss, "So, I thought of selling all the cars, watches, whatever I can sell, to bring some cash back to the company, sustain it a day at a time, and if worst comes to worst, we might even have to put up our current house for sale."

Wu Wei listened silently, his fingers unconsciously tapping gently on the sleek table.

So that’s how it is.

A manufacturing enterprise with core technological accumulation, faced with a broken cash flow due to over-reliance on a single client, now teetering on the brink.

This situation isn’t uncommon in the business world, but witnessing it firsthand still evokes emotion.

A company that’s been in business for over twenty years, a prosperous family, possibly caught up in turmoil due to one bad debt.

"Brother Wu!"

At this moment, Feng Yuzhou seemed to have made up his mind, leaning slightly forward, looking eagerly yet pleadingly at Wu Wei, "I know you’re financially strong, do you think... can you lend a hand to a buddy?"

"Of course, I’m by no means asking you to help for no return! What I mean is, if you’re interested, you could invest in our company, or provide some short-term bridge financing. As long as we get new working capital and get over this hurdle, the company can get back on its feet."

"Our family’s technology and production foundation are there; as long as we get past this, we can definitely make a comeback! By then, your investment will surely yield significant returns!"

Hearing this, Wu Wei suddenly understood.

It turns out that selling the car to him was just a cover; Feng Yuzhou’s real aim was to involve him in solving the family’s financial plight.

Wu Wei did not immediately respond.

He put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, his actions unhurried.

After a moment of reflection, he met Feng Yuzhou’s hopeful gaze, his tone calm and cautious, "Yuzhou, I more or less understand your family’s situation. A company with a technical foundation encountering such issues is indeed a pity, but investing is no small matter, especially with companies in financial distress. It requires a more comprehensive evaluation."

He looked at Feng Yuzhou, continuing, "How about this, I’ll go back and think about it. Don’t rush, tomorrow let’s first smoothly handle the car transaction. As for investment or financial support, I need to see more detailed information, like your company’s full financial statements for the past three years, audit reports, the contract with Gao Ma Automobile and the outstanding payment details, the list of company assets and liabilities, and your future business plans, etc. Only with these can I make an initial judgment."

Feng Yuzhou, hearing Wu Wei not outright reject him and even specify the required documents, was already far beyond what he expected!

His face instantly lit up with a glow of joy, nodding continuously, "Okay, okay! Brother Wu, thank you for considering! I’ll have my sister prepare these documents tomorrow; she’s most familiar with the company’s situation, then you two can discuss it face-to-face! Rest assured, whether or not this works out, you’ll always be a good buddy I recognize, and it won’t affect our relationship!"

Upon hearing that his sister would meet him face-to-face tomorrow, a slight curve surfaced at the corner of Wu Wei’s mouth.

This guy is quite something!

Thinking about the graceful, mature, and beautiful elder sister of the Feng Family, Feng Yunuo, Wu Wei’s heart began to look forward to it.
