Chapter 194 Contracting the Reservoir (5th Update)
Su Ming smiled: "Lawyer Zhang, I don't know much about the law, but I know that if the money in his company's account is not enough to pay, he will either pay out of his own pocket or declare bankruptcy and then sell the company's assets to pay the money, right?"
"Yes. But the amount of compensation this time is not small. I have checked Zhou Jin's personal account through my connections, and there are only a few hundred thousand left in it. Now it seems that he can only sell the company's assets." Lawyer Zhang nodded and said.
Otherwise, you must find a capable lawyer. The lawyer can quickly apply for a court investigation order and go to the bank to check the defendant's assets. But if the lawyer has a bad relationship with the court, or if the plaintiff applies for an investigation order himself, the various procedures will be very troublesome.
This Zhang Siming was originally the presiding judge of a court in the Intermediate Court. Before Su Ming proposed it, he had already done the job.
"Then there is only one way left, which is to declare bankruptcy and auction the company's assets to pay off the debts. Or, in other words, not auctioning, but after a discount, use these assets to pay us as compensation." Su Ming said.
"Okay." Zhang Siming shrugged: "But I personally don't recommend you to take these assets. I've checked his assets. A self-built villa, three cars, and two very old small yachts. They are not of much help to your business. Even if they are discounted, you won't make much money. I suggest you ask for cash."
Su Ming smiled slightly: "Lawyer Zhang, you missed one item."
"What?" Zhang Siming was slightly stunned. As a professional lawyer, he has estimated assets more than once or twice. How could he make a mistake in such a matter?
"The contracting rights of Huating Reservoir!"
Su Ming said slowly: "I checked, the Huating Reservoir he contracted will expire in more than half a year, and he has already paid the contracting fee. According to the contracting fee of the reservoir, it can almost compensate for my losses."
Zhang Siming slapped his forehead: "I understand what you mean, you want to take this opportunity to take down the contracting rights of the reservoir."
Su Ming shrugged: "Yes, you can see that I am also engaged in the breeding industry, and Huating Reservoir is a big piece of fat meat!"
"It is feasible in theory, but the plaintiff this time is not just you. What if they also want it?"
Without waiting for Su Ming to explain, Zhang Siming has quickly gone through the information of several other breeders in his mind.
He is a lawyer, of course he knows the situation of these farmers very well. When he thought about it, he immediately found that the farmers that Su Ming found to sue with him were not large in scale. Except for Su Ming, the others were simply unable to take over the Huating Reservoir alone. Even if the reservoir was given to them, they could not afford the future contracting costs.
Just like a small company with only a dozen people, suddenly asking him to rent a whole floor of an office building, not only will it not promote the development of the company, but it will bankrupt the company because of the expensive rent.
Thinking of this, Zhang Siming took a breath and asked in disbelief: "Did you plan this long ago?"
"Haha, otherwise why would I spend so much effort to sue him. Is it really for those hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Su Ming said with a faint smile.
Zhang Siming stared at Su Ming for several seconds, then gave him a thumbs up: "You are young and promising! No wonder a great man like Lao Zhang considers you a friend!"
From Su Ming's words, Zhang Siming could tell that Su Ming did not take hundreds of thousands of dollars seriously, not because he was so rich that he did not care about hundreds of thousands of dollars, nor because he was young and arrogant.
It was because he looked further and stood at a higher angle.
Not simply focusing on money, but focusing on the layout of the enterprise. As the enterprise continues to grow, more money can naturally be made. This is a thought that only a truly mature entrepreneur would have. Zhang Siming did not expect to see this trait in Su Ming today.
You know, this young man in front of him has only graduated from college for less than a year.
Zhang Siming is also a person who is popular in society and has a wide range of friends. Among the people he knows, Su Ming's current business is not big, strictly speaking, it is very small. But how old is Su Ming this year?
Moreover, according to his understanding, Su Ming truly started from scratch, not like some so-called second-generation rich people who started their own businesses with the help of their family's power and background.
His mind turned quickly, and he thought of Zhao Yun again.
Who is Zhao Yun? He is a big investor. The projects that Zhao Yun values have almost no losses. The guy in front of him is a young man that even Zhao Yun is optimistic about!
"Promising!" Three words suddenly popped up in his mind, and his expression became much more intimate. He said: "Mr. Su, don't worry, I will be responsible for helping you with this matter. If your company has any legal needs in the future, you can come to me directly, and I will do my best."
Speaking of the company, Su Ming smiled bitterly: "I haven't established a company yet."
Zhang Siming's mouth twitched: "It's a million-scale business anyway. You don't set up a company. Aren't you afraid that the government will trouble you? I personally suggest that it is best to set up a company as soon as possible, otherwise there may be some procedural troubles in taking over the reservoir."
Su Ming also had this idea a long time ago. The two hit it off, and Zhang Siming was responsible for running the company registration and serving as the company's legal advisor in the future.
However, Su Ming was really helpless in naming the company. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a company name that sounded very ordinary: Taoyuan Fishery Company.
After leaving the court, Su Ming returned to the zoo's Fengshui Pavilion, opened a laptop that was not connected to the Internet, entered the password, and carefully counted his various income and expenditure accounts during this period to ensure that he could take over the reservoir smoothly in the future.
Even for him, theoretically it would be difficult to take over the Huating Reservoir. He had to prepare to invest in a winery and take care of the breeding of Shuijun Lake next year, which was very tight financially. And the New Year was coming soon, and he was going to take some money home.
But plans could not keep up with changes, and Su Ming must not let go of the great opportunity that was delivered to his door! From the day he subdued the bald man and learned about Zhou Jin's plan, he had made up his mind that no matter how difficult it was, he had to take over the Huating Reservoir this time!
If he missed this opportunity, he might have to pay several times the price of now to take over the reservoir in the future.
However, he also had advantages that no one else had. First, his fish grew very fast. As long as he took over the reservoir, by the end of next year, when the fish in the reservoir were on the market, a large amount of funds would be recovered, and there would be no pressure on the rent of the reservoir. Second, he could use the underwater channel to get some of the fish in the Huating Reservoir. In this way, he could make a lot more money this year.
Er Gouzi had returned from Baihua Valley and was quietly standing at the window.
After participating in the reorganization in the back mountain, Er Gouzi didn't know if he got the "reward" from the two queen bees, but the black pattern on his body became darker, as black as ink.
After Su Ming finished his account, he raised his head and snapped his fingers at Er Gouzi, "Go to work, be careful not to be discovered!"
