Hu Zeqing used every trick in the book and finally managed to suppress the smuggling incident.
But the matter did not end there.
Sixty percent of the smuggled vehicles were confiscated, resulting in significant losses for the smugglers.
Of the 40% that were disposed of, a portion ended up on Su Liuliu's shoulders.
So, of the 160 million yuan in export revenue for coal, they only received tens of millions back.
However, they were fined another 100 million, resulting in a total loss of over 200 million.
Su Guiquan can refuse to acknowledge this debt.
He rushed to Shanghai in a great hurry.
"Young Master Hu, we can't just let this go like this. We've already lost over 100 million."
"Hmph, it's not a mistake that the person is alright, what more do you want?"
Hu Zeqing was very irritable and had no good temper at all.
Seeing this, Su Guiquan also lost his temper.
"Young Master Hu, you can't say that. This business involves everyone. I can't be the only one who loses money, can I?"
"Damn it, didn't I also lose 50 million? What do you have to say?"
"You can't say that. You didn't give me a single penny of the money from selling the car."
"Where do you think that 50 million came from? Of course, it came from the money from selling cars."
Hu Zeqing had unspeakable suffering in his heart and could only grit his teeth and bear it.
The money from selling the car was all taken by the mysterious person; not a single penny was left.
So, by this calculation, he actually lost 80 million!
Su Guiquan was unaware of all this; all he knew was that he had been taken advantage of.
800,000 tons of coal, the cost price alone is about 60 million.
To fulfill his orders, he even bought a lot of goods from his competitors.
All things considered, he advanced approximately 70 million yuan.
Now that he's paid a fine of 50 million, he's actually lost 120 million without making a single penny.
To be honest, apart from the mines he owns, he's practically penniless now.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I've lost 120 million now, and I can't bear this debt alone. You have to bear a quarter of it according to the proportion of the new coal mine."
"Old Su, you're going too far! Why should I bear so much of the burden? I already shared the fines," Hu Zeqing said, getting agitated.
"Hmph, I can't live like this anymore. This was agreed upon in the first place. You can't go back on your word."
"You're being unreasonable."
They were both greedy and greedy, and the two immediately started arguing.
Su Guiquan also lost his temper and glared fiercely at Hu Zeqing.
“I invested 30 million in your company. How about this, I'll forgo the 30 million, and you can keep your coal shares. We'll be even!”
He realized that Hu Zeqing wasn't as rich as he had imagined.
If he knew that Hu Zeqing was now bankrupt, he'd probably be ready to flip the table.
Hu Zeqing frowned upon hearing this.
To be honest, he's really being manipulated by Su Guiquan now.
That 30 million doesn't even belong to him anymore; it's in Pitt's hands.
Whether it can be retrieved in the future is still unknown.
If he can't resolve the 3 billion yuan problem, then most of Zeqing Venture Capital's investment will go down the drain.
This would leave him with an additional 1.5 billion yuan in debt.
His shares in the coal mine were clearly his lifeline, so how could he possibly give them up?
Thinking of this, he instantly put on a smile.
"Old Hu, calm down. I'm annoyed too. Let's just leave the fine behind. How about I take a quarter of the remaining 70 million? Let's not ruin our relationship."
"That's more like it, but I'm in a tight spot for money right now, so I need to withdraw that 30 million."
Su Guiquan wasn't stupid; he didn't dare to condemn Hu Zeqing to death.
Seeing that the other party had relented, he immediately seized the opportunity and revealed his true purpose.
Hu Zeqing's heart bled when he heard this.
He chuckled and said, "Old Su, all that money's already invested. It's not something you can just withdraw now. Besides, it's a profitable business. If you withdraw now, you'll lose a lot of money."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The coal mine has to keep running, otherwise we'd both starve," Su Guiquan sneered.
"Old Su, there's always a way to overcome difficulties. Here's what I'll do: I'll try to get a loan that should be enough for us to get through this crisis."
Hu Zeqing's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to keep Su Guiquan calm.
He wants to make money, and now he really can't do without Su Guiquan's coal mine.
With those coal mines, he could easily secure a substantial loan and then proceed gradually.
Su Guiquan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
That is indeed a solution.
However, the thought that he hadn't earned a single penny this time and had even lost 100 million yuan made him feel the pinch.
Hu Zeqing saw through his thoughts and came up with a plan.
"Old Su, this time it was my fault, I can't let you suffer for nothing. I'm planning to do a few big projects in Tianjin, do you want to join me?"
"A big project? How big?"
"It'll cost at least 1 billion yuan to build a high-tech industrial park."
"I don't know anything about this, and I don't have any money right now."
“We have a loan, right? I guarantee we can break even in a year.”
"I need to think about that."
Having lost so much, Su Guiquan naturally wanted to recoup his losses.
Everyone says high-tech is a money-making machine these days, it would be a lie to say he's not tempted.
Having finally managed to calm Su Guiquan down, Hu Zeqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone says coal mine owners are ruthless, and he doesn't want anything to happen.
The atmosphere gradually became more harmonious, and Hu Zeqing began to brainwash Su Guiquan.
Su Guiquan was completely taken aback by the deception and couldn't help but sigh.
