Chapter 912 Tipping and Informing
"It's me, Nan Chu. There's something I'd like to confirm with you."
Bo Jinyan was having lunch with Sang Ruo when he asked, his eyes fixed on her, "What is it?"
"Cousin, did you secretly acquire many of the Xu family's projects in order to get revenge on them?" Lu Nanchu asked without question, but rather as if stating, "The Xu family's cash flow is in trouble now, and Xu Chen just came to me asking for a loan."
All of this was within Bo Jinyan's expectations, so he wasn't surprised at all.
Bo Jinyan's tone remained calm: "Of course, a shortage of funds would lead to a request for a loan. You probably didn't lend him a single penny, did you?"
"Of course I didn't lend him the money. We're in the same boat. If I lent him the money, wouldn't that be ruining your plans?"
Lu Nanchu would never do such a thing, as it would harm others without benefiting herself: "Cousin, I called you to tell you that Xu Chen is looking for people to lend him money everywhere. If we don't lend him money, he will probably run around to many places to borrow money."
"No matter what, you should take precautions as soon as possible, so that the fruits of your labor don't end up in someone else's pocket."
Bo Jinyan's eyes darkened: "Alright, thank you, Nan Chu, I won't let you down."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.
Sang Ruo sat to his left and couldn't help but ask, "Did Nan Chu tip you off?"
Although she didn't hear everything clearly, she got the gist of their conversation.
Therefore, she knew the purpose of Nan Chu's call.
“Yes.” Bo Jinyan put his phone aside and picked up his chopsticks again: “Nan Chu said that Xu Chen is currently looking for people to borrow money everywhere. She did not agree to lend him money and told us to be on guard as soon as possible.”
"So what do you plan to do next?" Sang Ruo asked, listlessly poking at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks. "Still going to hold back?"
Bo Jinyan chuckled lightly and said calmly, "My task now is to protect the projects I have and prevent them from falling back into Xu Yi's hands."
"Nothing else is as important as this."
His strategy this time was to attack first and then defend.
From the very beginning, he ruthlessly seized most of the projects from Xu Yi, and now protecting these projects is the most important thing.
If he makes a move at this moment, Xu Yi's side will take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity to attack!
Wouldn't he lose the advantage he had worked so hard to gain?
He won't give the enemy that chance.
"Then you continue to stand by and watch. If Xu Chen finds a new loan, the Xu family's cash flow problem will be solved."
Sang Ruo swallowed nervously: "Aren't you afraid that the Xu family will use this to turn the tables?"
After all, Lu's Bank is not the only bank on Wall Street.
Throughout New York City, there are countless banks that can help them solve their loan problems, so they really can't ignore them.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan shook his head: "No, with Nan Chu and Lu Jinan around, how could that father and daughter possibly let go of such a good opportunity to kick someone when they're down?"
"Nan Chu and Xu Chen's marriage is almost over, with only that piece of paper holding it together. Lu Jinan has been very wary of Xu Yi. Unless there is an influx of external funds, the Xu family will have no chance of breaking out this time!"
That's why he wasn't in a hurry to kill the Xu family.
Killing the enemy directly is pointless. Xu Yi almost caused Xiao Ruo's death. He wants Xu Yi to kneel before him and beg for mercy!
He won't let him off the hook because of this!
Sang Ruo knew he was very certain, but for some reason, she felt a vague unease in her heart.
She hoped things would develop as Ayan had imagined, but why did she always feel uneasy?
It's as if something is about to happen.
Moreover, this feeling of panic and confusion is getting stronger and stronger.
Even she couldn't explain where this feeling came from.
...
On the other side, at the Lu family villa.
After leaving Lu's Bank, Xu Chen went straight to the Lu family study and said to Lu Jinan, "Dad, this time, you must help me!"
"What is it now?" Lu Jinan was not happy to see him, his voice filled with displeasure: "Did something unpleasant happen between you and Nan Chu again?"
The only reason he came here to find him was because of Nan Chu's matter.
Almost everyone can guess it.
This time, however, he was wrong. Xu Chen had come about the loan: "Dad, I didn't come to see you about Nan Chu. I'm asking for your help because our Xu family is having a cash flow problem!"
“Our Xu family has very few projects left; all the others have been snatched away by Bo Jinyan! This has caused problems with our family's cash flow. Dad, I just need a loan of three billion US dollars! We can pay the interest…”
“You should go to Nan Chu about these things; she’s the current president of Lu’s Bank.” Lu Jinan remained expressionless and showed no emotion after hearing this: “You’ve probably come to the wrong person.”
His tone was indifferent, as if he were stating something trivial.
Xu Chen's heart sank upon hearing this, and he swallowed nervously, "Dad, I didn't come to the wrong person. Nan Chu doesn't agree to my loan. She insists that I provide collateral worth 1.5 billion US dollars before she'll approve it. I simply can't come up with that kind of money..."
"Could you talk to her for me? Get her to agree to a loan for the Xu family? Just three billion US dollars will solve the problem! It's not much!"
"Three billion US dollars and you think that's not enough?!" Lu Jinan said discontentedly. "Xu Chen, have you been living in a greenhouse for too long? Aren't you treating money way too casually?"
"Do you think that three billion US dollars is a small amount of money? Or do you think that banks that can come up with three billion US dollars at once are everywhere?"
Even in Manhattan, New York, a world-class financial center, it's rare to find a bank that can come up with three billion US dollars at once.
Only large banks with strong qualifications and significant global influence can afford to provide such funds!
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen realized he had just said the wrong thing, and his tone softened immediately: "I'm sorry, Dad, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that this money is only for emergency use by our Xu family. Could you please not set such strict collateral terms?"
"The mortgage is for outsiders. Our two families are related by marriage, not outsiders. Could you ask Nan Chu to make an exception?"
"What? Just because our two families are related by marriage, does that mean our bank has to give you preferential treatment?!"
Lu Jinan finally understood why Lu Nanchu disagreed with his loan: "Xu Chen, I'm not trying to be mean, but you guys are taking yourselves way too seriously!"
They want three billion US dollars without even considering mortgage loans?
No one would be willing to lend him the money!
