It would be a lie to say that he wasn't wary of this woman.
In the years since Lu Feng's rebirth, he has met many women, but the most ruthless in a head-on confrontation is Su Yourong. This woman is highly educated, capable, cunning, and ruthless.
At this crucial moment, getting involved with a woman like this is not a wise move.
"She's just a woman after all."
Lu Feng seemed to have found an excuse for his cowardice. He hung up the phone and went back to his room to sleep. Two years later, Lu Feng would definitely want to go back to this moment and slap himself twice.
What many people in this world lack is an opportunity; once that opportunity is seized, it's like a beast being unleashed.
The next day, Cape Town was sunny and the weather was great. Lu Feng calculated the time difference and called home to tell Duo Duo that he had bought her two mines and asked her to prepare the documents and give them to Wei Yandan to fill in the holder information.
Of course, Jiang Xiaoyan is Duoduo's guardian, and strictly speaking, these two mines are in Jiang Xiaoyan's hands.
At 10:00 a.m., Han Guoping prepared some gifts, which he put in the car in large and small bags, and arranged to have lunch with Ambassador Xu.
In Hong Kong, at eight o'clock in the morning, Li Zaiyan got into his car with dark circles under his eyes and met with the bank presidents he had arranged to meet. The meeting was quick, less than two hours, and he met with six bank presidents. The highest offer was 420 million. Even if Li Zaiyan mortgaged his house and car, the maximum he could get was 500 million.
Around 1 p.m., he felt that his last glimmer of hope was about to be extinguished. Maybe he just wasn't lucky with money. He could manage to scrape together a little less money, but with a 100 million yuan hole, no one could help him. Besides, he had invested all his assets, and no fool would lend him money.
At 1:30, he hurriedly ate a bite of food and finally called Su Yourong.
“I can only raise a maximum of 700 million right now. How about this, you raise another 80 million. You have a lot of connections in Hong Kong, so 70 or 80 million is no big deal for you. I’ll find a way to get another 20 million out of the way,” Li Zaiyan said into the phone.
"If I had that ability, would you need to tell me? Seventy or eighty million is nothing. Don't be fooled by the flirtatious glances you all give each other at the banquet. When it comes to money, they're all running away faster than you. What era are we living in now? Everyone's very careful with their money. You can talk to the bank again. Aren't you on good terms with several bank managers?"
"It's only because I played well that they gave me a little over 400 million. Otherwise, it would have been at most 300 million. What am I going to do?" Li Zaiyan now understands what it means to be penniless.
"How about this, I know a big shot in Singapore, I'll ask him if you can pledge more of your shares as collateral." Su Yourong asked, "Is that alright?"
With things having come to this point, Lee Jae-am had no choice but to agree.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yourong glanced at the time, lay there eating fruit leisurely, and an hour later, she picked up the phone and called Li Zaiyan.
"I've put in a lot of effort this past hour, but thankfully it's done. Six hundred and fifty million. I'll keep saying you're my relative and keep making assurances. But there's one condition: the contract they signed with you is a fifteen-day bridging loan agreement. If you don't repay after fifteen days, the equity will directly become theirs!" Su Yourong said into the phone.
"This...this is too risky! What if the bridge collapses halfway through? I'll lose all my shares!" Li Zaiyan immediately became alert.
"Hey bro, fifteen days is enough. Besides, with 10% of Jiafeng Electronics' shares, are you worried about not being able to repay this little bit of money? Here's what you do, call those bank managers and ask how much of Jiafeng Electronics' 10% shares can be pledged. They're valued at tens of billions of US dollars right now, so 10% is a billion US dollars. Even if the banks cut their losses, there will still be three or four hundred million US dollars, right?"
Three or four hundred million US dollars!!!
Li Zaiyan felt his heart skip a beat. His assets would instantly multiply several times over; that was the allure of finance.
"Okay, I'll call and ask!"
Li Zaiyan called several banks, asking them to estimate how much of Jiafeng Electronics' 10% equity could be pledged. The prices offered ranged from US$100 million to US$300 million.
The reason why such a high price can be given to Jiafeng Electronics International is entirely due to the $3.5 billion investment from the Schroder Group, as the risks of Jiafeng Electronics International still exist.
With this in mind, a smile appeared on Li Zaiyan's face. Even if the shares were swapped, let alone the shares being taken away, he would still make a fortune, wouldn't he?
