Hu Zeqing didn't sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stayed up until dawn.
Pete's phone has been ringing off the hook, but he's too scared to answer.
3 billion yuan has vanished without a trace; how is he supposed to explain this?
There's no definite answer from the international banks yet, so he can only wait for news.
Putting that aside, his immediate priority is resolving the 50 million issue.
He's practically bankrupt now, and this is no small sum.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that he couldn't afford to spend any more money.
If Pete's situation isn't resolved properly, he might have to consider an alternative.
Su Guiquan's 50 million yuan worth of coal mine shares came for free, but he couldn't bear to give them up.
Everyone knows that the coal business is improving year by year, and he doesn't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Should we ask our family to help?
He can't bear the shame.
Moreover, once he opens his mouth, the persona he has painstakingly built will collapse.
He will only be more upset if he loses his status in the family.
Are they diverting investment from Zeqing Venture Capital's clients?
Don't be ridiculous, most of that money is in SPK Investments in the US.
He has now lost 3 billion, and that money has probably been withheld by Pitt.
At this moment, he seemed to have been driven to a dead end.
One thing after another happened, as if it had been planned.
Moreover, he didn't believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world.
Someone must be up to no good, but unfortunately he has no evidence.
Who exactly did he offend?
Hu Zeqing racked his brains all night but couldn't come up with a solution.
What he suspected most was the Li family.
But he didn't believe the Li family had that ability.
He could believe it to some extent if the smuggling was exposed.
But how do you explain that 3 billion? It's too bizarre.
What kind of person can steal money without anyone noticing?
The thought of his computer malfunctioning one after another sent chills down his spine.
But he doesn't have time to study these things carefully now; he must resolve the smuggling case as soon as possible.
Su Guiquan was honest and transferred the 50 million as promised; the rest was his own.
After thinking it over and over but still not finding a good solution, Hu Zeqing thought of Yao Aiguo.
Yao Aiguo wanted to cooperate with the Hu family to deal with the Li family.
They are currently in their honeymoon period, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of.
So Hu Zeqing took the next available flight to Beijing.
Yao Family Villa.
Hu Zeqing paid a visit, and after exchanging pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
"Uncle Yao, I have come here to ask you for a favor."
"Oh, what kind of relationship do we have? Just tell me what you need, and I'll definitely help if I can."
"I've recently run into some cash flow problems and would like to ask you for a loan of 50 million."
"50 million? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Aiguo's usually calm smile froze.
This is no small sum, and Hu Zeqing has just gotten a great deal.
Logically speaking, Hu Zeqing should also have a net worth of hundreds of millions, so how could he be short of money?
And the fact that he mentioned 50 million so readily means something big must have happened.
He asked instinctively, but Hu Zeqing's expression turned grim.
However, he needs to give an explanation for borrowing such a large sum of money at once.
After a moment's thought, he smiled wryly.
“I have investments in the international financial market that I can’t withdraw recently, and I have a loan to repay, so this is for emergency use.”
"I see, that's not impossible. However, I've already invested a significant amount in a real estate project in Tianjin this year, so..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Aiguo deliberately feigned a troubled expression.
He didn't believe a single word of Hu Zeqing's nonsense.
The famous financial genius in Shanghai borrowed money to pay off his loan—what a lame excuse!
Especially since they found out about this northern boss.
However, he didn't care whether Hu Zeqing was in trouble or not; what he wanted was profit.
Offering help in times of need is less effective than taking advantage of someone's misfortune; this is the ironclad rule of unscrupulous merchants.
Having been in the business world for several years, Hu Zeqing immediately understood Yao Aiguo's meaning.
Money can be lent, but a benefit must be given in return.
He forced a smile.
“Our family has a No. 3 property in Tianjin, so we can’t let Uncle Yao suffer a loss in Tianjin.”
"Oh dear, I've offended the Li family. I'm afraid my days ahead won't be easy."
"Uncle Yao, rest assured, Tianjin is guarding the capital, and great development is inevitable. Our Hu family does not want to miss such an opportunity."
"That's right. There are rumors that Tianjin is going to be developed into a modern, technologically advanced industrial metropolis in northern China. It has unlimited potential, but going it alone..."
“We can cooperate. We can discuss our ideas slowly.”
After the two talked in a cryptic manner for a long time, Hu Zeqing could only express his opinion.
He knew that Yao Aiguo simply wanted the Hu family to express their support for him; it was that simple.
Hu Zeqing is now in dire straits; if he wants to successfully get ashore, he'll have to drag a few others down with him.
Both had their own thoughts and ulterior motives, and thus reached an agreement.
Having gotten what he wanted, Yao Aiguo beamed with joy.
"Hehehe, it's only 50 million. Give me your account, my dear nephew, and I'll transfer it to you right away."
"Thank you, Uncle Yao. Let's discuss the cooperation in detail after I've finished what I'm doing."
Having finally resolved the funding issue, Hu Zeqing left without lingering.
After he left, Yao Aiguo found a trusted confidant.
"Go and find out what big news is happening in Shanghai lately."
