Gu Ze Jintai, the patriarch of the Gu Ze family, has tried to meet with Xing Baohua several times, but no matter how he tries, he refuses to see her.
They just finished setting things up, and now they're lowering the price so quickly? There's no way things can be this easy!
Not only did the Guze Building suffer, but other businesses in the Guze family also suffered, and their biggest source of income was cut off.
The Gu Ze family has received a risk notification from the bank, which is essentially an overdue payment reminder.
Normally, after the deadline, a grace period is given, and things won't be taken too far.
But this time it's different; Fuji Bank has gone to extremes! The repayment period for the Furusawa Building has arrived, and if the funds cannot be repaid, the risk clause will be triggered.
This means the bank will forcibly take back the money. If you don't repay it, sorry, the collateral you used as collateral will be appraised, and any overpayment will be refunded while any underpayment will be collected.
Not just Fuji, banks all over the world have done this kind of thing. Unless someone is eyeing certain shares or something, no one would collude with a bank to do this.
Most of these are individual actions; an internal employee might think the price is right, and then agree to help them operate illegally.
They then took possession of the mortgagor's property.
It appears to be compliant, but in fact it's all illegal. To make it legal, it needs to go through a court ruling.
Xing Baohua ignored the Gu Ze family for two weeks, and only decided to meet with them a few days before the repayment date.
He instructed Kawaguchi Kanae not to make Furusawa Kami wait outside if she saw her. Actually, Xing Baohua was afraid she would flaunt her leg again and blind him.
A middle-aged man accompanied the over-sixty-year-old Furuzawa Tsuyoshi to Xing Baohua's office. After introductions, Xing Baohua learned that the middle-aged man was Furuzawa Tsuyoshi's eldest son, Furuzawa Taro.
Xing Baohua managed to lower the price of the Guze Building by 40% below the market price. This price cut was too drastic; the Guze family would definitely not agree.
Xing Baohua said, "Mr. Gu Ze, how about we make a bet? The bank will assess your value at 50%-40%, and you'll not only lose the building, but you'll also have to pay the remaining loan amount."
The old man was naturally unwilling and yelled at Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua remained unmoved. He smiled and said, "You came here to beg me to buy the building. I only offered a price. If the price isn't right, you can leave! If you insult me, I can sue you for insult!"
Taro Kosawa pulled his father aside and finally managed to calm him down, getting him to sit down first. Taro Kosawa walked up to Xing Baohua, bowed respectfully, and said, "Mr. Xing, the price you just offered was far too low. You know the value of the Kosawa Building, located in the most prosperous area of Asia. How about we offer 1.3 billion US dollars for this building?"
“900 million US dollars, if you’re willing, sign the contract and transfer the property quickly. Take the money and pay back the bank as soon as possible. Otherwise, they can be even more ruthless than me.” Xing Baohua said as he returned to his seat.
Gu Zejin pointed at Xing Baohua and said, "This is outright robbery."
Xing Baohua spread his hands and said: I never compete with my fellow countrymen for anything, but when it comes to outsiders, I have to be ruthless in taking from them.
After saying that, he stared at Taro Furusawa and said, "Is it okay or not? If it is, I'll have my lawyer come over. If not, please leave. I have a lot of work to do."
After a stalemate lasting more than 20 minutes, Gu Zejia had no choice but to sell the property to Xing Baohua for 900 million US dollars.
The Guze Building will be renamed the Pi Building.
The office space is ready, located on the busiest street in JD.com's area, although the buildings in this neighborhood are not very tall.
The building that Xing Baohua bought is only about twenty stories high.
Okay, let's get the renovations done quickly and move in as soon as possible.
Of the four major mobile phone manufacturers that Xing Baohua had approached, only Panasonic and Fujitsu accepted the DaMi system license, after Sony withdrew at the beginning.
No sooner had the agreement been signed than several media outlets began inciting uninformed people, claiming that Panasonic and Fujitsu had been bribed and were traitors, which would endanger Japan's telecommunications industry.
I don't know how it provoked protests from some left-wing elements. Even the Grand Secretary has trouble dealing with this kind of people.
Xing Baohua had some US dollars exchanged for gold bars. Xing Baohua didn't believe that one kilogram of gold bars wouldn't kill you.
The Minister of Health and Welfare stared wide-eyed after seeing the two gold bricks.
"Mr. Koizumi, I'll have to trouble you to act as an intermediary again this time. I'd like to ask the Minister of Communications to explain that our mobile phone system is secure and has passed the standards of the Japanese Communications Association."
"I'm in a bit of a dilemma," Koizumi said.
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua took out another gold brick and said, "You've worked hard, Your Excellency. I'll give the Minister of Communications five bricks."
Xing Baohua had someone open the box and show it to Xiaoquan.
It was glittering with gold, and no one could look away. Koizumi was no exception; he stared at it for a long time.
"I'll try my best!" Koizumi nodded, which meant he had agreed.
After Xing Baohua left, Xiaoquan almost had his back shaken by the eight gold bricks. With his thin arms and legs, like a skinny dog, it was a miracle that he didn't break his back.
Communications security has always been a problem, and hostility from Japan, the United States, and even the European Union is growing stronger.
Now that things have come to this point, if they want to continue developing, they'll just have to bite the bullet and keep going. And Xing Baohua has learned his lesson this time; if they want to develop in the US or Europe, he won't invest any money himself.
Even if he gets scammed, it's the shareholders who get scammed. He can still get out of it in time. Just learn from Uncle Qiao, own 1% of the shares, be a salaried boss, and that's enough.
In the days that followed, the Minister of Communications indeed said a few kind words to him, and every word was worth its weight in gold!
There was no other way; the losses and future consequences of letting them cause trouble far outweighed this. In Xing Baohua's eyes, a few gold bricks were just small change.
