Created in China Episode 30 Recap
> Created in China Recap
Liu Shitang personally went to find Qian Hongying, honestly expressing his concerns. He truly hoped to have a long-term relationship with Qian Hongying, but Qian Hongming's project carried immense risks. Unfortunately, Qian Hongying completely refused to listen to Liu Shitang's explanations, and the rift between them deepened. Before the Spring Festival in 2008, a severe snowstorm hit. Related news was playing on the television, but Qian Hongming's attention was elsewhere.
He had already processed Shen Jiali's passport, bought a house abroad, and arranged for school enrollment, promising to go and be with his wife and daughter once his matters were handled. Subsequently, Qian Hongming bought a Bentley and drove Liu Jun and Luo Qing for a ride. Liu Shitang became suspicious of the source of Qian Hongming's funds, believing his business was unreliable. However, Liu Jun thought Qian Hongming was fully capable of earning this money.
After dinner, Liu Jun helped Cui Bingbing wash dishes in the kitchen and brought up the relationship between Liu Shitang and Qian Hongying. Although he found their relationship a bit awkward, it would be even worse if they separated. At his age, Liu Shitang was suitable to find a partner he knew well. Soon, the US housing bubble burst, and subprime mortgage defaults surged, leading to a significant devaluation of mortgage-backed financial derivatives.
The crisis quickly spread to global financial markets, causing credit crunch, stock market crashes, and economic recession. Consequently, Liu Jun's Tengfei factory experienced its first-ever international order cancellation, and Luo Qing revealed that the problem originated from the European headquarters. Now Cui Bingbing had been promoted to Vice President. Coincidentally, Director Liu was in the vicinity for business and came to visit Cui Bingbing. During their conversation, it was revealed that their department was blocking Qian Hongming's approval.
Meanwhile, Qian Hongying looked at the computer screen showing that over 1. 9 million in interest had to be repaid that month, which made her feel immense pressure. Just then, Liu Shitang met with Qian Hongying again, stating that this year's situation was completely different from before. Looking around, countless large and small enterprises were on the verge of losing money or even going bankrupt.
Although Qian Hongying knew the risks were extremely high, she consistently refused to face reality, firmly believing that her younger brother Qian Hongming had his own judgment. Liu Shitang went to the kindergarten to pick up Paopao, hoping Cui Bingbing could help persuade Liu Jun that he absolutely should not lend money to Qian Hongming at this time. Cui Bingbing told Liu Jun about the bank refusing Qian Hongming's loan, suspecting that banks would refuse him one after another.
However, Liu Jun thought Qian Hongming wasn't that short of money; otherwise, why wouldn't he come to him? That night, after careful consideration, Liu Jun proactively contacted Qian Hongming, offering to help him issue a five million credit letter. Qian Hongming arranged to meet him after work the next day.
The next day, Liu Jun specifically bought KFC takeout, which made Qian Hongming a bit emotional, stating that when he first returned to China, Qian Hongming himself had treated him to KFC. Looking back at these years, Qian Hongming felt he had made many friends, but only Liu Jun was willing to proactively help. However, he was optimistic that he could definitely endure it and would absolutely not flee with the loan.
Currently, Qian Hongming was most worried about his wife and daughter, so he entrusted Liu Jun to take Shen Jiali and the child to Australia for him. Liu Jun said he truly couldn't get away recently, as the factory had too many problems, but he would try to sort out his work within a month. Back home, Cui Bingbing angrily reprimanded Liu Jun for agreeing to Qian Hongming's request, but despite her anger, she still tacitly approved Liu Jun's decision.
Not long after, Qian Hongming discovered that Director Yan had people watching him, so he called to warn the other party that they were all in the same boat, and if he were pushed too far, they would all go down together. Qian Hongying rushed to find Qian Hongming, stating that the payment deadline was approaching, and if the bank found out they couldn't even pay the interest, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qian Hongming comforted Qian Hongying, telling her not to worry, that as long as they got through this difficult period, everything would be fine. On the other side, Liu Jun and Cui Bingbing tearfully bid farewell to Shen Jiali and her daughter at the airport.
