Young Master Li's awkwardness wasn't that he needed two hours to gather the 10 billion.
But, how was he going to do it?
In fact, even if a billionaire wanted to raise 10 billion on the spot, it would be extremely difficult. Many billionaires actually only had their net worth through the share prices of their companies. However, under the premise of not selling the shares in your hands, you could only borrow money from your friends. But who would be able to take out 10 billion immediately? Or, if you didn't use your company's shares as collateral, who would lend you for free, especially when there was no IOU on the phone? It wasn't a problem to borrow tens of millions from friends, but if you asked for a few hundred million, people would have to think about what you were going to do, and then they would ask you to talk to their financial advisor. Plus, you wanted to come up with 10 billion?
He had 4% of the shares in Samsung, and according to Samsung's total market value of more than 300 billion USD, it was worth about 12 billion USD. However, he couldn't sell these shares at all, because if he did, his family would explode, and the structure of the entire board of directors would change. At least, the nature of the family business would change.
Plus, with his father getting seriously ill, the company that his big brother inherited was already being suppressed by the government, and the government was trying to dilute and reduce the absolute control of the company. If he mortgaged 4% of his shares at this time, it would definitely be a big hidden danger, and he would become a sinner!
All of a sudden, Young Master Li didn't know what to do.
Xu Cheng looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "Hurry up, there's still 110 minutes. You are the second son of the head of Samsung, didn't you just brag about how powerful you are? I'm not asking you to take out all the assets of your Li Family, I just want you to take out 10 billion to bet with me. "
Young Master Li's eyes were a bit dazed. He looked at Xu Cheng and gritted his teeth. Then, he picked up the phone. "If you want to count the money, just say so earlier."
Then, he called his lawyer.
"Hey, it's me. I want you to estimate the market value of all the shares under my name and make a mortgage transfer statement."
"Are you crazy? What are you trying to do at this critical juncture? These shares can't be used casually, do you know that? Your father is still in the hospital, and your brother is struggling to find a way to avoid the inheritance tax so that he can control more shares. If you mortgage it, the Lee family's controlling stake in the Samsung Group will change. Do you understand the seriousness of the matter? You are just an illegitimate son, it's enough that you can spend and eat, don't be stupid. "
"If I tell you to do it, just do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't want to do it, then get lost. I'll get another lawyer to help me. "
Lawyer: "I need to report to you."
Young Master Li: "If you don't want your family to collect your corpse under the Han River Bridge, you better not do this."
The lawyer swallowed. "Then wait a moment."
Young Master Li nodded. After hanging up the phone, he said to the international asset appraisal team of the casino, "I need to use the company's shares as collateral."
The professional team on the other side nodded. "Sure, please fax the information over."
Young Master Li's lawyer had been busy working. First of all, he had faxed the share certificates under Young Master Li's name.
There were a few miscellaneous shares, all of which were the shares of the subsidiaries of the Samsung Group.
The evaluation report estimated it to be 8.2 billion USD.
Young Master Li immediately exploded. "The market value is 12 billion, and you reduced it to 8.2 billion? Are you professionals or not? "
The representative of the appraisal team adjusted his glasses and said, "Mr. Li, please be clear about something. Your market value of 12 billion is the highest price someone can offer when you're not in a hurry to sell it. But right now, if you want to use it as collateral, it will naturally shrink. Considering the profits of our mortgage company, we naturally have to lower the price. If you don't agree, you can find another international mortgage appraisal team. But let me remind you, right now, only our venture capital company is willing to mortgage you on this cruise ship." Xu Cheng spread out his hands.
Xu Cheng spread out his hands. "Then you still need 1.8 billion USD. Come on, it's time for you to show off your 3-star young duke connections. Who was the one who said that the proof of someone's power is how much they can borrow? Come on, let me see how much money you, a 3-star young duke, are worth. Lend it to me now."
Young Master Li directly picked up the phone and called his good friends from other families in Korea.
First, he called the Cui Family, which was second only to the Li Family.
"Hey, Ren Hao, what are you doing?"
"It's already this late, what else do you think I can do? Of course, I'm flying a plane." A chuckle came from the phone.
"I want to ask you a favor."
"Say it, it's rare for you to call me for something."
Young Master Li: "Lend me some money."
"It can't be, right? Although your Li Family's assets have shrunk due to the restructuring of your dad's company, it shouldn't be to the point where you don't have money to spend, right? "
"I definitely have money. You also know my assets, but I can't touch those funds in the near future. At least, my brother still needs it, so please lend me some money first," Young Master Li said.
"How much?"
"1.8 billion!" Young Master Li said.
"1.8 billion?" Cui Renhao on the other side muttered, "Borrow that much? I only received 3 billion as pocket money for my birthday, and you want to borrow 1.8 billion? I still need to buy a new car. "
"No … I mean, US dollars. Do you have it? "
"US dollars?" The guy on the other side of the phone directly said, "Are you crazy? Not to mention me, even my dad can't lend you that much money. Did you take the wrong medicine to borrow so much money from me? Where do I get the money to lend you? I even have to think about 1.8 billion won, and you want to lend me US dollars? Are you crazy? "
Young Master Li: "Then 100 million is fine too."
Cui Renhao: "Sorry, the music here is too loud, I can't hear it. Let's talk about it another day."
Then the phone was hung up.
Young Master Li then called a friend of another chaebol, the Ju Family's son.
"Hello, Ju Shengbin, I want to borrow some money from you. Can you help me get 1.8 billion US dollars?"
"What do you want so much money for? Are you planning to run away? Where can I get so much money? "
"Then you can lend me 500 million first. I know that the business under your mother's name is worth 2 billion! I will dilute it with my Samsung shares. How about that? "
"I'm not interested. Your family is in deep trouble now, and no one knows when the shares will fall. Once your brother fails to be the heir, Samsung will collapse. Don't lie to me. Although I'm a playboy, I have a brain."
"200 million! Just lend me 200 million, and I will borrow the rest from others. "
"Korean won? If it's okay, I will transfer it to you now. Where are you? "
Young Master Li was so angry that he hung up the phone.
He had no choice but to go to a corner and not let others listen to him on the phone, so he had to call one of his aunts.
He asked the bodyguard to pretend to be the kidnapper and say in English to his aunts,
"Hey, Li Chengji is your nephew, right? Now that he has been kidnapped by us, if you don't want to kill him, you need 1.8 billion US dollars to redeem him. We know you are from a Samsung family and have a lot of money. If you want him to live, I will kill him if you don't pay 1.8 billion! "
After a moment of silence, the other end of the phone said, "I want him to answer the phone."
The bodyguard handed the phone to Young Master Li, and he said anxiously, "Aunts, you have to save me. I am now in the Persian Gulf in Dubai. This big ship passed by the Land of Mercenaries and encountered pirates."
"Give it to the kidnapper, I will tell him."
Young Master Li gave the phone to the bodyguard, and the other end of the phone said to the bodyguard, "That b * stard is an illegitimate son. Kill him."
Then the phone was hung up.
The bodyguard looked at his employer, Young Master Li, and said, "Your aunts want you to die outside."
Young Master Li turned around angrily and said to the evaluation report, "I think even if my shares shrink, they are still worth 10 billion!"
