Pingchuan.
Hanging up Shen Qian's call, Li Dong shook his head slightly.
Shen Qian called to help him raise money. Li Dong believed that Shen Qian was being kind and concerned about him.
However, Shen Qian did not represent the Shen Corporation, and Li Dong did not want to deal with the Shen Corporation at the moment.
Hearing that the other party wanted to hold shares in Faraway Group, Li Dong did not think about it and directly rejected the proposal.
No matter how much shares the other party wanted, Li Dong did not want to invite a wolf into the house.
He got up and put on his coat. Li Dong went downstairs and asked Tan Yong to drive to Guanghe Group.
…
Guanghe Group.
Hearing that Li Dong wanted to return the money, Hu Wanlin was surprised. "Why the rush?"
Li Dong smiled. "I have some extra money on hand now. Let's return the money first. Otherwise, the money will be gone in a few days."
Hu Wanlin smiled. "The money will be gone in a few days? That's too much. Yao Hong and the others lost a lot this time."
Hu Wanlin was also present when Yao Hong and Li Dong negotiated.
Although she did not know the specific amount, Hu Wanlin could roughly calculate how much it would cost.
Li Dong saw that she did not believe it and did not explain much. He smiled and said, "Anyway, regardless of whether there is money or not, let's get the shares back first. I don't feel at ease with the collateral."
Ke Long only held 60% of the shares. Excluding the 15%, Li Dong held less than half.
This was also the reason why he was in a hurry to redeem the shares. Otherwise, if something went wrong, it would be big trouble.
Of course, after a period of time, when Ke Long's capital increase plan was completed, it would not be a big problem to lose 15% of the shares. However, it was better to avoid trouble. Li Dong was too lazy to stir up trouble at this time.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Hu Wanlin did not say anything more and made a phone call.
Not long after, two middle-aged men and a woman in her twenties entered Hu Wanlin's office.
The two of them didn't communicate much. Although the other party knew Li Dong, he wasn't too surprised.
Many people knew that Li Dong had entered the Kelong Supermarket.
What's more, Li Dong still had 15% of his shares as collateral. They naturally knew that Li Dong held the shares.
He did a simple calculation of the interest. Although Hu Wanlin's friends were generous in lending money, the interest was not low.
It had only been a little more than a month, and the interest was almost 4 million. Ordinary people really couldn't afford it.
Of course, even if they could afford it, they wouldn't lend it to them. These lenders weren't stupid. If they didn't have the confidence to get their money back, who would lend such a large sum of money in one go?
It was hard to borrow money, but easy to pay it back.
Both parties signed a few simple documents, and soon, Li Dong's share certificate was in his hands. As for the money, naturally, there was no shortage.
With the share certificate in hand, Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief.
After the other party left, Li Dong smiled and said, "These friends of yours are pretty strong. They lent out a hundred million just like that. They aren't ordinary people, right?"
Under normal circumstances, loan sharks wouldn't be able to take out so much money to lend people.
Those who had so much money would rarely continue in this business.
For example, Hu Wanlin in the past. Even if the person behind her didn't step down, she probably wouldn't continue in this business.
If one often walks by the river, one's shoes will get wet. In this day and age, a person with a net worth of more than a hundred million was a rich person. It wasn't worth the risk.
Hu Wanlin smiled and said, "You think too highly of them. Do you really think that this money is really their own? Most of it is actually from the bank. Moreover, they are partners. Each person can take out a few million at most. In just a little more than a month, they have earned four million from you. High risk, high reward. Who wouldn't be willing to make a million in a month? Fortunately, I have retired from this business. Otherwise, I would sell everything I have to make this deal happen. Anyway, with Kelong's shares as collateral, the risk isn't that big. "
"That's true. The interest is really not low."
Li Dong sighed with emotion. He used to think that Hsu Shengzhe was a scammer. In fact, Hsu Shengzhe wasn't really a scammer.
The turnover of two billion for the land took about one or two months. Hsu Shengzhe only asked for 20 million in handling fees and interest, which was almost the same as a philanthropist.
According to Hu Wanlin, Li Dong would have to pay almost a hundred million in interest.
This was the capital of Longhua. Li Dong didn't have this kind of channel. If he had this kind of channel, he wouldn't have to beg everywhere to borrow money.
After settling the debt, Li Dong chatted with Hu Wanlin for a while.
Because Hu Wanlin had recently taken on a business Far away, the company began to be busy. In a short while, several groups of people came to the office.
Seeing this, Li Dong didn't stay for long. He quickly got up and left.
After paying off the 100 million on Hu Wanlin's side, Li Dong didn't have much money on hand now. In addition to the 200 million reserve fund of Faraway Supermarket and the 200 million loan that was about to mature, Li Dong could really use only 100 million.
Thinking of this, Li Dong couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the richer you are, the poorer you are.
The day before, he had a huge sum of 3 billion in his hands. In the blink of an eye, the money was gone. When will this kind of life end?
…
In the afternoon, Li Dong didn't stay idle in the company.
He discussed with Wang Yue about expanding the market, and time passed quickly.
At about five o 'clock, Li Dong's mobile phone rang.
As soon as the phone was connected, Hsu Shengzhe asked, "Do you have anything to do tonight?"
"Nothing. What's wrong?"
"Didn't you say you want to treat us? Let's settle this matter as soon as possible. Today is Friday. Yue Qin and the others will be on holiday after work. Let's have dinner together. "
Li Dong looked at the time and thought about it. "Okay, let's book the restaurant at Tianhu. Do you want me to pick them up?"
"No need. Just book a private room. I'll go pick them up."
"Okay, thanks."
"There's no need to thank me. If I knew you weren't interested in them, I wouldn't have bothered with this."
Li Dong laughed and chatted with Hsu Shengzhe for a while before hanging up the phone.
He asked Chen Ke to book a table at Tianhu Hotel. Li Dong dealt with a few documents in the company. When it was almost six o 'clock, Li Dong left the company and rushed to Tianhu Hotel.
…
Tianhu Hotel.
Li Dong was also a frequent visitor here. When Far away was still working in the Global Building, all the company's major meetings were held here.
Later, although they moved to Far away Building, the distance between the two places was closer.
Faraway Group would usually choose this place for their gatherings.
Because Li Dong booked a private room in advance, Tianhu knew that Li Dong was going to have a banquet there in the evening. The lobby manager was already waiting at the door.
When Li Dong's car stopped, the lobby manager of Tianhu greeted him with a smile. "General Manager Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Business is booming."
Li Dong chuckled. "It's the same. By the way, have my guests arrived?"
"Not yet. I've been keeping an eye out for you."
"Okay, then I won't go in. Wait for a while. They should be here soon."
The lobby manager was a little surprised. "General Manager Li, who are you inviting today? You have to personally welcome them?"
Li Dong smiled. "A few friends. Hsu Shengzhe is also here. Do you know him?"
"Of course, I know him. Longhua's CEO Xu …"
The lobby manager chatted with Li Dong for a while. He didn't leave Li Dong behind.
Nowadays, Faraway Group was one of the biggest clients of Tianhu Hotel. It was more important to receive Li Dong than to receive dozens or hundreds of individual guests.
The two chatted for a while. After a while, Hsu Shengzhe's car arrived.
This time, Hsu Shengzhe changed his car again. It wasn't the sports car from last time. That car was tormented by Hu Xiaorui. It was a problem whether it could still be driven.
In addition, there were many people this time, so Hsu Shengzhe deliberately changed to an off-road vehicle.
This guy had a lot of cars. He had all kinds of cars. Li Dong had seen four or five of them. Li Dong was not surprised that he had changed cars.
When Hsu Shengzhe got out of the car, he saw Li Dong standing at the door. He was a little surprised. "Well, Old Li is giving me face today. He actually came to welcome me personally."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Why would I welcome you? I'm here to pick up Yue Qin and the others. Last time, I said that I would treat you. I've been busy for a while. I'm really sorry. I apologize to everyone today. "
Bai Yueqin chuckled when she heard that, and the other women hurriedly greeted her politely.
The last time they saw Li Dong, they didn't know who Li Dong was.
But when Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe joined hands to beat up Yao Li and it went on the news, they knew Li Dong's identity no matter how slow they were.
Li Dong also accompanied them with a few polite words before he led them to the hotel lobby.
Among the five women, Li Dong was only acquainted with Bai Yue Qin. The others were just acquaintances. Half a year had passed, and Li Dong had almost forgotten their names.
Other than Wei Na and Chen Wanting, Li Dong almost mixed up the names of the other two women.
If they didn't call out their names, Li Dong would really be a joke.
When the women walked in front, Hsu Shengzhe deliberately lagged behind. Seeing that the distance was a little far, Hsu Shengzhe winked and said, "Did you notice that I haven't seen Yue Qin's best friend for a while? She seems to have become more beautiful. She's not worse than Shen Qian, right? Do you want to … "
Before he finished his words, Li Dong said impatiently, "When did you switch to being a pimp? If you like it, you can eat it yourself. Don't mention it to me."
Hsu Shengzhe said disdainfully, "Are you still a man or not? It's not working hours. What else can men talk about other than women? You're too boring. I won't call you the next time I pick up a girl. "
"I won't go even if you call me."
"You're talking as if someone will call you."
"…"
The two of them teased each other for a while before entering the private room.
When they entered the private room, a few figures suddenly appeared in the corridor. The leading man hesitated and said, "Is that Li Dong?"
A woman beside him nodded lightly and said, "Yes, that's him. The other man seems to be Hsu Shengzhe."
"Hsu Shengzhe? The Young Master of Longhua? "
"Yes."
"Interesting. These two have a good personal relationship. Xu Jianghua and Li Dong almost fought each other's brains out. His son actually dined with Li Dong. No wonder there are rumors that Xu Rulong was driven away by them. "
"It's possible. Other than the parties involved, no one can say for sure."
"That's right. Forget about them. Let's go eat too. If there's a chance later, we should go and meet these two. They're the future business leaders of Jiangbei. They're quite famous."
The last word "business leaders" seemed to have a deeper meaning. The woman smiled and did not reply.
