Chapter 5: It's time to go bankrupt.
"That brat actually rejected our contract and turned around to cooperate with Xunke instead," Yu Xianghe complained on the phone.
"Dad, what should we do? Xunke seems determined to win as well."
"What's the panic? Stay calm. What can she possibly do? Go find out what Xunke's acquisition price is."
Yu Miaomiao's original intention was not to sell the shares to Xunke, but to use Xunke as a pretext to raise the price.
She had inquired with her father's former subordinates and learned that the Yu Group's cash flow was currently in a very tight situation.
Yu Songnian is extravagant and now wants to mortgage the company's land to get a loan. However, he does not have absolute say in the company's shareholders' meeting, so this decision has not been passed. Now, as long as he gets Yu Miaomiao's shares, he can have absolute power.
Therefore, Yu Songnian was even more eager than Yu Miaomiao.
"Dad, Yu Miaomiao has contacted Xunke and they've agreed on an acquisition price that's three times the amount we planned in our contract. 200 million US dollars is no small sum."
Yu Songnian's hands loosened a little as he played with the walnuts; this price represented almost all the funds he had.
But as long as he gets the loan and has a year to work, he'll be able to turn things around when the peak sales season arrives.
A week later, Yu Miaomiao received the $260 million equity transfer payment and quickly blocked all contact methods with her uncle's family. Now is not the time to deal with them.
She was reborn into a new life. In her previous life, she was tricked into signing a shareholder consent form, but the loan approval for the Yu Group was subject to risk control and the loan was not disbursed as promised. The Yu Group was in dire straits, and Yu Songnian used all his savings to stabilize the situation.
Now, he has no funds and is completely unable to control the situation.
It's a pity that my parents have been running the company for so many years, but they are no longer here, and the world is about to change drastically, so whether the company exists or not is meaningless.
However, none of this matters to Yu Miaomiao for now; what she needs to do now is continue her shopping spree.
Lu An acquired a pharmacy in his personal capacity and then contacted a pharmaceutical representative to purchase a large quantity of in-demand drugs, including but not limited to antipyretics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, insulin, various prescription drugs, and vaccines. Combined with the pharmacy's already ample stock of various medications, this amount was enough to last them for several lifetimes.
The pharmacy even had all sorts of insect repellent products, including insecticides, floral water, and medicated oil.
When Yu Miaomiao put the umbrellas into her spatial storage, she saw that there were still hundreds of unopened boxes of small umbrellas in the pharmacy, of various sizes and types. The former owner was something else; he did business in unconventional ways.
Yu Miaomiao's stock preparation has reached a fever pitch, with people buying like crazy every day.
We buy tons and tons of toilet paper and facial tissues from all brands. You can never have too much of these things. We also stockpile thousands of boxes of sanitary napkins. We're not worried about not using them all, and they're in high demand when we need to exchange them later.
The number of illustrations far exceeds this; they were created using AI.
The food selection was even more abundant, with tons of various meats (pork, beef, chicken, mutton, etc.), fresh vegetables, poultry, eggs, fruits, etc. They even bought a lot of raw meat and bones for cats and dogs, all of which were freshly slaughtered that day. Yu Miaomiao specially found a processing plant to help with the processing, and each portion of meat was 1kg, vacuum-packed and boxed, and more than a hundred truckloads were delivered.
Sugar and salt are essential seasonings, and Yu Miaomiao made several bulk purchases, totaling 3,000 kilograms. Two boxes of each of the other seasonings would be enough for them to eat for several lifetimes.
Cooking oil, rice, flour, etc., are purchased by the ton according to the order.
Although I'm not very good at farming, I've still stockpiled quite a few seeds of various kinds, and it would be a shame not to make use of that piece of land in my space.
The couple also considered that cooking at home would produce a lot of fumes, so for the past six months they have been ordering various takeout meals almost every day, from breakfast to late-night snacks. Fried chicken, fries, hamburgers, bullfrogs, barbecue, noodles, braised food, spicy hot pot, Japanese food, street food, all kinds of desserts, bread, milk tea, and even stinky tofu were all stocked up on.
Snacks are also their favorites: potato chips, puffed snacks, chocolate, beef jerky, pork jerky, various candied fruits, dried noodles, sausages, all kinds of biscuits, cookies, pastries, nuts, dried tofu, and so on. They also have a lot of instant food, such as self-heating hot pot, rice noodles, snail rice noodles, dumplings, noodles, etc., all stocked up by the box.
The two occasionally enjoy a drink, and have bought quite a few different kinds of alcohol. They even have a dedicated liquor cabinet in their space, containing beer, wine, tequila, vodka, rum, whiskey, various spirits, liqueurs, and more.
They don't smoke, but this stuff is a hard currency in the apocalypse and is in high demand, so you must stock up on it. Later on, at any base, whether it's an official or military base, you can use it to exchange for a lot of points.
Cat and dog food is also a big project. Yu Miaomiao contacted a pet company to become an agent and purchase large quantities of imported and domestic cat and dog food, freeze-dried food, freeze-dried food, cat treats, dog dental treats, jerky, etc., as well as various toys, supplies, pet deworming vaccines and medicines, vitamins, and commonly used medicines.
After the house in Tianjingfu was renovated, some cat food and dog food were symbolically placed on the original shelves to cover up the truth. She had witnessed the loss of humanity after the natural disaster, the breaking and robbing, and how some people were beaten to death just to protect their wives and children's last bit of food, while others became tyrants in the apocalypse and killed and robbed without blinking an eye.
Lu An bought several vehicles in succession, including a modified off-road vehicle, three off-road vehicles, three off-road RVs, a Nomadic Navigator, a Unimog, two heavy trucks, and two small pickup trucks.
The car was easy to buy, but the gasoline was hard to come by. The two of them had to go to different gas stations multiple times a day and then take out the gasoline and store it in the corner of their space. However, the workload was huge and the amount they stored was far from enough, so the two of them planned to go abroad.
With passports and visas in hand, there were only two months left until the end of the world.
Before setting off, I took my cat and dog to the pet park for boarding. The three of them looked so pitiful, lying on the back seat the whole way, making the normally spacious seat feel a bit cramped. I've been busy stocking up on supplies these days and haven't had time to spend much time playing with my furry friends.
I feel like they've grown stronger than before. I wonder if it's because I've been feeding them the spring water from the space lately. All three of them look healthier.
Even Lu An felt incredibly light and energetic lately, often telling Yu Miaomiao that he felt like he had inexhaustible energy, perhaps the spring water really did have health benefits. Yu Miaomiao also felt that she had become stronger and was less tired.
After dropping off her pet, Yu Miaomiao went to the hair salon to get her hair trimmed. She didn't have any specific requests, just wanted it cut short. The hairdresser was heartbroken and cut it to shoulder length, but she refused to cut it any shorter.
"Such beautiful hair, it's such a shame to cut it."
Yu Miaomiao chuckled softly, "It's alright, just go ahead and cut it short."
Afterwards, the two went home to pack their luggage and rest.
The studio hired a temporary worker, a seemingly simple young man, to handle package deliveries and goods. His work period was only about two weeks while they were abroad, and his salary was 10,000 yuan, which would be paid in full after they returned and checked the goods.
Everything was going smoothly until that evening when Lu An suddenly fell ill with a persistent high fever, his temperature exceeding 41 degrees Celsius.
