Chapter 827 Bo Jinyan's Intentions
If the amount is too high and exceeds her budget, then she will have to go home and discuss with her father whether or not to return to the United States, and first hold a board meeting to discuss the matter.
Ultimately, how to handle it depends on how big Bo Jinyan's appetite is.
Bo Jinyan noticed her anxious expression and said casually, "I don't want much, fifty million US dollars is enough."
Fifty million US dollars?
If it were RMB, that would be easier to say, but with the US dollar exchange rate declining, business is tough. For him to ask her for 50 million US dollars is just outrageous.
"Cousin, you really have a big appetite..." His appetite was so big that even Lu Nanchu couldn't handle it. He forced a smile and said, "We still have some relationship, cousin, can't you ask for a smaller amount for my sake? Like ten million?"
Fifty million US dollars, which translates to approximately 350 million.
The price is just too high; she can't afford it!
The shares in Lu's Bank are indeed very important, and she cannot disregard her father's request to give up these exposed shares. However, it is really painful for her to have to spend more than 300 million RMB to fill the huge hole that Xu Chen has in his pocket!
The father's request was to keep the price below ten million, but now Bo Jinyan's appetite has grown, and he is not satisfied at all!
How could she go back and explain it to her father?
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan seemed incredulous at what he had just heard, his tone tinged with amusement: "Ten million? Nan Chu, I truly consider you a friend. I can understand if you want to lower the price, but this price reduction is far too drastic. Do you think my time is so worthless?"
How can a mere ten million make up for the endless trouble and interference that Xu Chen has brought to Xiao Ruo all these days?
He wanted fifty million US dollars to skin Xu Chen alive!
If he doesn't suffer a severe pain, how will he know where he went wrong?
“But cousin, your price is really too high, and…” Lu Nanchu’s forehead was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat from being frightened by his outrageous demand: “We really can’t afford it. To be honest, I personally think it’s very unreasonable!”
She could understand his request for compensation, since Xu Chen had borrowed money from him, and he was simply exercising his normal rights as the borrower.
However, his price was far too high, so high that it exceeded her means.
Bo Jinyan calmly replied, "If you think it's unreasonable, why do you care whether Xu Chen lives or dies? Wouldn't it be better to just let him fend for himself and do nothing? Why spend such a large sum of money to pay off his debt?"
Originally, all his plans and actions were aimed at Xu Chen alone.
But if the Lu family insists on interfering, then they can only get hurt along with Xu Chen.
Unfortunately, he had warned Lu Nanchu before, but she insisted on meddling in Xu Chen's affairs, which led to this conversation.
“Cousin, I really don’t want to help him pay back the money!” This was Lu Nanchu’s personal opinion; she genuinely didn’t want to get involved, but now she had no choice: “But he sold our family’s shares without permission, causing the shares to be transferred overseas. The US headquarters has already started making things difficult for my father. If I don’t help him pay back the money, what else can I do?”
Does she want to help Xu Chen pay off this debt?
No one in the Lu family wanted to do this, but in order to recover the shares of Lu's Bank that had been transferred out, she had no choice but to do so.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan offered her a suggestion: "Go back and tell your father that if he wants to take back the shares of Lu's Bank that have been transferred out, then tell him not to interfere in Xu Chen's affairs anymore."
"Just tell him that, and he'll understand."
He didn't want to say anything more; a smart person would understand what he meant.
"Cousin, did you do this on purpose?" Lu Nanchu was also a smart man. She seemed to have vaguely sensed something from his words. After pondering for a moment, she spoke again: "Or is it that you did this just to target Xu Chen? So you want to make us back down in this way?"
Come to think of it, how many times had Xu Chen targeted his cousin and cousin's wife for Wen Qingyi's sake? How could his cousin possibly let him off so easily?
This time, he had no choice but to run into the line of fire, and he could only accept his bad luck.
Thinking of this, Lu Nanchu felt much better.
Bo Jinyan smiled nonchalantly: "It seems you are a smart man. Go back and tell your father what I just told you. He will understand what to do next."
Few men in the business world, especially those like Lu Jinan who fought their way up from the battlefield of American finance, are truly simple-minded.
Therefore, when he speaks, he only needs to say three-tenths of what he means for him to understand.
This is how business people communicate.
"Okay, thank you, cousin." Lu Nanchu understood what he meant and prepared to get up and leave. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say, "I'll leave the eight million check with you first. After I go back and talk to my father and we've finalized the result, I'll come back to discuss the next steps with you in detail."
After saying that, she picked up her shoulder bag, turned around, and left.
Sang Ruo stared intently at her departing figure, lost in thought: "Ayan, do you really think you can get what you want this way? Aren't you afraid that old fox Lu Jinan will betray you?"
Lu Jinan is no nobody, nor is he the kind of man Xu Chen can easily manipulate.
He is very meticulous and unpredictable.
The further away they are from such people, the better. How could Ayan have gotten involved in their dispute again?
Didn't we agree that we wouldn't get involved in their affairs anymore?
"I'm not afraid." Bo Jinyan's eyes were cold, even colder than the wind blowing outside: "Given Lu Jinan's opportunistic nature, as long as Lu Nanchu takes my words back verbatim, he will definitely go to my uncle to ask for money!"
"After all, the problem lies with Xu Chen. If he doesn't ask his uncle for money, does he really think he'd be willing to spend so much money on a son-in-law like Xu Chen? Impossible!"
Fifty million US dollars, if this amount falls solely on the Lu family, is indeed too much and seems very unreasonable.
However, if this amount is borne by the Xu and Lu families, then it is not too much at all, but just right, which is more in line with the interests of both families.
