Chapter 429 How Dare You
The Lin Family's old house was located in the scenic area of Dongqian Lake, which was close to the downtown area and the seaside. It was a prosperous tourist resort, surrounded by high-end hotels and so on. However, the Lin Family's house was a little remote. After all, it covered thousands of acres and was isolated from the outside world.
It could be seen that the status of the Lin Family in Ningbo was declining in the hands of the brothers Lin Changhe and Lin Changting.
In recent years, the domestic economy and the global economy were not doing well, especially in the real economy. Most of the Lin Family's industries were traditional industries. A few years ago, the Lin brothers thought that the real estate business could help the Lin Family further develop, so they blindly expanded and carried out several projects in many places in the province. Besides, they got involved in the financial industry and tasted the sweetness, so they became more and more eager for quick success and profits.
However, in recent years, the real estate industry and the financial industry were under strict control. First, the real estate industry was controlled by various purchase restriction policies. Second, the financial industry was prevented from entering the real estate industry, which made local real estate companies like the Lin Family fall into a cold winter.
Originally, the Lin Family was a shareholder of Zheshang Bank and Ningbo Local Bank, so they could get cheap funds. However, the government tightened its control on the financial industry, so no one dared to challenge the red line. Especially in the second half of last year, the big banks were fined by the CBRC all over the country. Even the Qin Family had to be careful, not to mention a local family like the Lin Family.
Last time, the Qin Family secretly played a trick. A provincial leader mentioned that the Lin Family's real estate project was suspected of violating the rules. Then, the Housing Administration Bureau suspended the presale of the Lin Family's real estate project. Everyone knew that presale was an important way to recover funds in the real estate industry. This way was blocked, which made the Lin Family even worse.
There was a cost to capital, and the real estate business was essentially a game of capital costs. Whoever could get the cheaper land from the government and get long-term and cheap capital from the bank behind the government would be the final winner.
Obviously, a local real estate company like the Lin Family didn't have such a background. Only those national real estate companies had such resources and more comprehensive financing methods.
Therefore, a series of bad results would form a vicious circle. The capital chain would be tight, and the funds would not flow back. The capital cost would get higher and higher, which could crush the Lin Family at any time.
This was the most important reason why the Lin Family had been in such a difficult situation this year. Why Lin Changting couldn't wait to find a strong ally? If he made the wrong choice, he might be inviting a wolf into the house.
At this moment, it was already lunchtime. The main residence of the Lin family was unusually lively. However, the elders were in one dining room, and the juniors were in another dining room.
Lin Su had gone to see her grandmother just now. Seeing this unloved granddaughter coming out, the old lady seemed to have guessed something. She could only say with grievance, "Susu, I'm old. I can't protect you anymore."
She did not tell Grandma that Qin Sheng would be there in a while. Instead, she comforted her by saying, "Grandma, it's okay. Everything will be over."
She chatted with her grandmother for a while, reminding her to take care of her health and not to think about other things. She only left after Lin Ze's bad friend, who was also the Mr. Right that the Lin family had chosen for him, arrived.
Lin Ze and Chen Jiahao were having dinner in a small restaurant with Lin Su, Song Chu, Tan Jing, and Lin Yue. Lin Changting, Lin Changhe, and their wives were having dinner with a middle-aged man in a round table restaurant. The middle-aged man was not here to pay a New Year's call. He had been here since the first day of the Spring Festival. Today, he was invited by Lin Changhe to talk about business.
The Lin family's capital shortage was getting bigger and bigger. They had to think of more ways to maintain the mess, so usury was another way. In the past, it was impossible for the Lin family to make friends with this nephew of a branch family. After all, the brothers of the Lin family looked down on this nephew of a branch family. However, if a tiger fell into a plain, it would be bullied by a dog. What could they do now?
"Songhao, at this time, you'd better be honest. How much money can you raise for us?" Lin Changting said politely. The man they had looked down on in the past was doing better than them in Ningbo now. How could they feel relieved? However, this was the reality. They had looked down on him before, but now they had to be polite to him.
Lin Songhao was wearing a black sweater. His hair was combed and his face was shining. He wore a limited edition golden Rolex on his hand and held a cigar in his mouth, looking very proud. His eyes were unscrupulously looking up and down at the two middle-aged but still charming aunts. He liked this kind of young married women, who had a unique flavor.
"Third Uncle, it depends on how many things we can mortgage. After all, the current environment is not very good. No one dares to make trouble, let alone such a large amount of money." Lin Songhao said proudly. This was the first time in his life that he could raise his head in front of the two direct uncles of the Lin family, and he could even sit with them as equals. Every time he came to the Lin family when he was a child, he was often looked down upon by them. After all, it was instinctive for the direct relatives to look down on the collateral relatives. At that time, Lin Songhao was somewhat jealous and hated himself for not being the son of Lin Changting and his brother.
Lin Changhe said immediately, "Songhao, we really don't have many things to mortgage. You know the situation of our family recently, so you need to think of more ways to help us get through this difficult time."
Lin Songhao snorted disdainfully. "Now you want to talk about feelings with me. Why didn't you be so polite when you looked down on me before?" He said with a fake smile, "Sixth Uncle, I'm already thinking of ways. Everyone in Ningbo knows what happened to our family. If I didn't take the lead, do you think anyone would dare to take over this mess? It's said that our family has offended some big shot. Could you tell me some information? I need to think about it. "
Lin Changhe said perfunctorily, "Songhao, it's okay for others to spread those rumors. Do you really believe them? But since you said so, how much can you pay? But according to our relationship, we can always reduce the interest. After all, we have helped you a lot these years. "
Rumors? Lin Songhao looked thoughtful. If the rumors were true, the projects of the Lin family would be stopped and investigated at will, which had never happened before. Everyone was blind. However, it was not that Lin Changhe lied to him. So far, even the Lin family didn't know what was going on. Which immortal did they offend? The two brothers of the Lin family spent a lot of money to inquire about it. Even if they paid for it, they still knew where the road was.
Hearing Lin Changhe's words, Lin Songhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's the relationship between our two families? If we didn't share the same surname, we wouldn't have anything to do with each other." "When I first started my career, I wanted to ask for your help. But did you help me?" "Later, when I became better, you decided to do me a favor. Besides, I did a lot of things for you."
The brothers of the Lin family didn't know that Lin Songhao didn't really intend to help them this time. Instead, he made up his mind to encroach on the Lin family and get a share of this feast. After all, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of the Lin family.
Consequently, Lin Songhao said straightforwardly, "Sixth Uncle, if the money were all mine, I would definitely have the final say. I could even let the Lin Family take it for free. However, the money is not mine after all. Others helped the Lin Family because of me. Consequently, the interest should not be less than one cent."
When Lin Songhao said the last sentence, "Not one cent less," the look in his eyes had already told the Lin brothers that it was impossible to negotiate. The brothers of the Lin family slightly changed their expressions. They didn't expect that Lin Songhao would be so heartless. The two brothers couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect that the Lin family would be in such a situation.
"Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle, if you can find cheaper money, I don't think it's necessary to borrow such a high-interest loan." Lin Songhao didn't forget to add insult to injury.
Lin Changting's face was very pale. He stared at Lin Songhao, and it seemed that he would fall out with him …
In the small dining room of the Lin family, the atmosphere at the moment was not much better.
Lin Ze had thought that Lin Su had compromised with the whole Lin family by walking out of the small building. Then, when Chen Jiahao came, Lin Su would at least be nice to him. However, he didn't expect that Lin Su was unwilling to say a word to Chen Jiahao. She just lowered her head to eat, which made Lin Ze and Chen Jiahao quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Song Chu and Tan Jing were there to ease the embarrassment. Otherwise, they would have had a hard time eating.
Chen Jiahao was young and handsome, but he looked a little thin and had dark circles under his eyes. Obviously, he was exhausted by alcohol and women. After all, he could hang out with Lin Ze, so he couldn't be a good guy.
Song Chu was naturally interested in this kind of rich second generation. If he hadn't introduced him to Lin Su, she would have taken the initiative to hook up with him. Tan Jing, on the other hand, was polite and not overly attentive.
"Lin Su, I know I'm not good enough for you, but I really like you. If you're willing to give me a chance, I won't let you down," Chen Jiahao said straightforwardly. He sounded a little aggrieved, but it was also a trick.
Lin Su still didn't say anything. She just shook her head slightly. She never wanted to find a man who was humble in front of her. A man had to conquer her from the bottom of his heart, so that she would be willing to be with him. The reason why she chose Qin Sheng was not because of Qin Sheng's great achievements. Instead, it was because Qin Sheng's performance in South Sichuan had won her over.
Lin Su lowered her head to eat. At the same time, she thought that he should have gone to Ningbo. After all, it was only a two-and-a-half-hour journey from Shanghai to Ningbo.
As expected, at this time, her phone rang. Lin Su took out her phone carefully and saw the message: I've arrived.
At this moment, Lin Su finally showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, which made Chen Jiahao feel intoxicated. Lin Ze was confused. Lin Su's phone had been confiscated, why did she still have a spare one?
At this time, Lin Su raised her head and said to everyone, "Chen Jiahao, do you know why I don't like you? Because I, Lin Su, only like one man, and his name is Qin Sheng. "
Hearing this, Lin Ze was instantly furious and said, "Lin Su, how dare you!"
