“Auntie, I’m not in the real estate business. It’s no use for me to have the land in my hands.”
"It's for Jia Yuan's sake that I genuinely want to help my aunt."
"If Aunt doesn't believe me, then forget it, and I'll save myself the risk."
"How about Auntie takes this land as collateral to the bank and see if she can get a loan of three billion?"
"Wait a minute." Huo Li quickly stopped Pei Zhi when he heard her about to hang up.
If Huo Li could get a loan of 3 billion, he wouldn't be talking about these things with Pei Zhi.
The real estate market has been depreciating, and the land in Huo Li's hands is barren. No matter what, it can't be mortgaged to the bank for 3 billion.
Just like the shares held by Huo Li, the bank doesn't look at the market value.
The bank lends money to Holly based on the minimum value.
“I can sell you the land, but we need to write it in the contract that within three years, I will add 10% to the price, and you must sell it to me unconditionally.”
Pei Zhi was somewhat displeased, "Auntie, isn't 10% a bit too low? I offered 3 billion!"
Pei Zhi's reluctance to agree immediately eased Huo Li's worries.
If Pei Zhi had agreed immediately, Huo Li would have worried that there was something fishy going on.
After all, Pei Zhi doesn't have many positive reputations in the business world.
Huo Li couldn't believe that Pei Zhi would do charity work if she could even harm her own mother.
"For Jia Yuan's sake, as long as Auntie comes up with 3.6 billion within three years, these plots of land can be bought back at any time."
"Of course, if Aunt can't come up with that much money within three years, then it will be five years. If it's five years, Aunt will give me four billion. That's my bottom line."
The interest of 600 million over three years is not low, but it is much lower than bank interest rates.
"Okay, find a time to prepare the money, and I'll bring a lawyer over to sign the contract."
"Okay, I'm available anytime."
Huo Li instructed Pei Zhi, "Don't tell Jia Yuan about this, don't spread it around, lest the old man finds out and causes me trouble."
“I understand.” Pei Zhi said considerately, “Grandpa and Jia Yuan are both men after all, and they don’t have much experience. They’re afraid of taking risks. Don’t worry, I will keep my mouth shut.”
Huo Li was very satisfied with Pei Zhi's understanding, but she regretted countless times that she only had one daughter.
If she had a son, she would definitely make him marry Pei Zhi.
What business is it of Huo Jiayuan now?
After hanging up the phone, Pei Zhi finally smiled.
She thought about it for a while, and once she got the land, she wanted to build the world's largest aquarium.
As for the aquarium that the Huo family is currently building, it will naturally not be successful.
The Huo family's land was fundamentally problematic.
Pei Zhi had already had someone inspect the site, and the geology was problematic. However, it would probably be fine to build a horse farm or an entertainment venue there.
However, if we build an aquarium, it will collapse before it is even completed.
Huo Li has already mortgaged his shares to the bank.
Pei Zhi plans to sue the Huo family after the aquarium collapses halfway through its construction, demanding compensation for her initial investment.
Pei Zhi and Huo Li had signed a contract before, which clearly stated in black and white.
If any problems arise at the aquarium, the Huo family is willing to compensate for all losses.
All in all, this pot is enough for Huo Li to drink.
Three days later, Huo Li, along with Itte and some professional staff, went abroad again.
After spending less than a week abroad, the gold mine was renamed under Huo Li's name.
Huo Li held the documents, feeling both happy and worried.
Suddenly his pockets were empty, except for two gold mines, and Huo Li was afraid of a sudden collapse.
Just in case, Holly wants to take advantage of the current rise in gold prices and liquidate his gold mine holdings.
After a short rest abroad, Huo Li returned to China.
Originally, Itte was also going to go back with Huo Li, but on the way to the airport, Itte received a video call from home.
In the video, Itte's mother is lying in the hospital. Itte has no choice but to transfer flights to go home and visit his sick and hospitalized mother.
Huo Li left the airport and glanced at the international gold price while sitting in the car.
Seeing the rising gold price, Huo Li was overjoyed.
The car drove straight to her home, where Huo Jiaxi had just returned from the hospital.
Huo Jiaxi complained, "Mom, what have you been doing these days? You haven't been to the company, you're always running around."
Huo Jiaxi roughly knew that her mother had recently started dating. But just because she was dating didn't mean she could neglect her work.
Huo Li pinched Huo Jiaxi's cheek. "Mom has some good things happening to her recently."
Huo Jiaxi suddenly had a bad feeling. "Mom, you're not planning to get married, are you?"
This is really not good news for Huo Jiaxi.
If Huo Li gets married, she'll probably have a child, which is terrible news.
Huo Li tapped Huo Jiaxi's nose. "What are you thinking about?"
"However, it's not impossible."
Huo Li thought about her recent interactions with Itte, and how she could make a lot of money if the gold business went well.
It's such a thoughtful, witty, and handsome guy; marrying it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Huo Jiaxi was shocked: "Mom! You really want to get married?"
"Not for now." Huo Li straightened her expression. "Mom's going to strike it rich!"
Huo Li opened the file on her phone and handed it to Huo Jiaxi.
Huo Jiaxi took it and glanced at it, a little confused. "What is this?"
Huo Li nudged Huo Jiaxi's forehead. "When we sent you to study abroad, did you just go on vacation? You can't even understand such a simple document?"
Huo Jiaxi was getting anxious. "Mom, stop keeping me in suspense. What exactly happened?"
“I recently went abroad and bought two gold mines at a low price. With the gold price so good right now, I’m sure I can make a fortune.”
"A gold mine?" Huo Jiaxi was truly surprised; she never expected her mother to be so bold.
"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going upstairs to take a shower and have the chef make something nice for me. After I eat, I need to go out to discuss business."
Huo Jiaxi wanted to ask a few more questions, but Huo Li looked tired, so Huo Jiaxi didn't press the matter further.
Huo Jiaxi watched Huo Li go upstairs, her heart filled with doubts.
If there really were such cheap gold mines, how could her mother have stumbled upon such a good thing?
Are all those business people abroad blind?
Why didn't they share this good thing with their own compatriots, but let her mother get it instead?
After Huo Li finished showering and tidying up, Huo Jiaxi was watching international news.
"Holy crap, this scammer is really something."
"What liar?" Huo Li drank the soup the chef had prepared.
"A fraudster underwent plastic surgery to appear as a respected person in order to commit fraud and swindled a lot of people out of their money."
Huo Li handed the phone screen to Huo Li to look at, "Mom, look, this is the person."
Huo Li glanced at it, and Huo Jiaxi put her phone away.
Huo Li froze on the spot, then went berserk, yelling, "Take another look at me!"
