CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Thinking this, Gao Qiqiang rubbed his hands together and quickly said, "President Chen, is this how it is?"

"Gao's Real Estate is indeed still in its early stages, but I believe the people of Jinghai City have seen its progress over the past year, as have you, President Chen."

"We absolutely have the ability to repay. Within ten years, even without the highway project, we are able to repay this 1.6 billion."

"How about this, when you have time, let's have a meal together, so I can prove to you Gao's Real Estate's repayment ability."

The words fell.

President Chen simply nodded perfunctorily.

"Okay, I understand what you're saying. Let's go back now."

Gao Qiqiang walked out of the bank with a smile on his face, showing no displeasure whatsoever.

President Chen sat in the meeting room, but his face showed an extremely disdainful expression.

Gao's Real Estate?

Can it compare to the Shanshui Group?

Don't they even look at what Gao Xiaoqin brought last time, and what Gao Qiqiang gave them?

With such meager resources, who do they think they are?

Chapter 162 It's My Uselessness as an Older Brother

President Chen looked disdainful and quickly stood up.

But before leaving, they still cleared the things off the table...

……

the other side.

After leaving the bank, Gao Qiqiang had already figured out one thing.

President Chen is trying to restrict his own development loan.

Although we don't know exactly what's going on, it's definitely not going to work in the short term.

At the same time, it also confirms one thing.

Without utilizing the assets of the construction group, the Mangcun demolition project will not be completed anytime soon.

Gao Qiqiang couldn't help but sigh before sitting in the back seat of the car and closing his eyes to rest.

After a long while, he slowly picked up his phone and dialed a number.

soon.

The call was answered immediately.

With a smile on his face, Gao Qiqiang quickly said, "District Chief Gong, are you busy?"

Gong Kaijiang on the other end of the phone seemed very happy to receive Gao Qiqiang's call, his voice filled with laughter: "Manager Gao, I'm just a deputy district head, what's with the title of district head!"

"Did Manager Gao need to see me?"

Gao Qiqiang hummed in agreement: "I wonder if District Chief Gong has time to have a meal together?"

Gong Kaijiang readily agreed: "Sure, is anyone else here?"

Gao Qiqiang said slowly, "There's no one else here. I just wanted to see if District Chief Gong could help invite President Chen of Jinghai Commercial Bank."

As Gao Qiqiang finished speaking.

Gong Kaijiang on the other end of the phone did not respond for a while.

Gao Qiqiang vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.

Gong Kaijiang quickly said, "Manager Gao, I know what you're talking about."

"It's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that we really have no other choice."

“District Chief Meng and I also hope that the expressway project will be expedited, but we have approached Director Chen time and time again, and he either refuses or makes excuses, and just won’t approve the funding.”

"I'll skip the meal. I'll try to think of another solution for Manager Gao, okay?"

Gao Qiqiang's face immediately showed a hint of disappointment, but he did not show it on the phone. He simply hung up the phone politely.

Then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After a while.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror at Gao Qiqiang, whose brows were furrowed and whose face was filled with worry. Finally, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Qiang, where are we going?"

Gao Qiqiang hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

"Go to Old Factory Street."

……

After a while.

Among the old houses on Jiuchang Street.

Although they haven't lived there for a long time, the three Gao brothers still tacitly arrange for someone to come and take care of the house regularly, so it's still relatively clean.

Gao Qiqiang lay on the bed in the attic, feeling utterly exhausted.

And right now.

The door was slowly pushed open.

Gao Qiqiang sat up instinctively: "Xiao Sheng?"

A laugh quickly followed: "Brother, Xiao Sheng is still at work at this time, he doesn't have time to come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fleeting look of guilt crossed Gao Qiqiang's face, but he quickly followed with a smile and walked downstairs: "Qilin, how did you know I was here?"

Gao Qilin just smiled and said, "Of course I asked the driver. I don't know how to tell fortunes."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin sat down on the sofa on the first floor and said with absolute certainty, "Brother, you have something on your mind."

Gao Qiqiang chuckled self-deprecatingly and quickly sat down next to Gao Qilin: "You saw through that?"

Gao Qilin nodded and quickly said, "Brother, is it about the company? Is it... that the project payment hasn't arrived?"

Since Gao Qilin has already seen through it.

Gao Qiqiang decided not to hide it any longer and simply nodded readily: "Yes."

"The development loan from the bank is delayed and they keep making excuses."

"I'm really worried about this."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qilin simply lit a cigarette without saying a word: "Brother, since you've encountered this situation, why don't you tell the Construction Group?"

Gao Qiqiang sighed immediately: "Qilin, I know that when you were calculating the money, you included the Construction Group in the total."

"But I think the construction project isn't really our family's business; it's more like Shuting's dowry. How can I ask you for it?"

"You should keep that money for yourself. I'll figure out a way to make it work..."

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang's expression gradually darkened.

I'm getting on in years.

Thanks to his younger brother, the Gao family lived a good life.

But now that his younger brother is about to take another step forward, he, as the older brother, can't help him at all!

Such an important project as the highway, and they can't even secure a development loan...

But at the moment.

Gao Qilin simply patted Gao Qiqiang on the shoulder.

"Brother, this isn't your fault."

"There are so many people watching the highway right now, so many people hope our business goes out of business, there's a lot of people targeting us from the outside."

"And... I'm here to give you money, aren't I?"

As he spoke, Gao Qilin smiled and took out a bank card.

Gao Qiqiang looked up in surprise at Gao Qilin.

Gao Qilin said calmly, "Brother, there are 500 million in this card. It's money earned from Liba Company. You can use it for now."

"Five hundred million?"

Gao Qiqiang instinctively spoke in surprise.

Although Gao's Real Estate now deals with massive projects worth billions, like highways, Gao Qiqiang was still shocked when he saw 500 million yuan in front of him!

They even gasped!

For a moment, Gao Qiqiang's voice trembled slightly: "Qilin, this, this is five hundred million?"

"Internet companies are so profitable?"

"It's only been open for a short time..."

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang's fingers trembled slightly as he stared at the bank card on the table, almost lost in thought.

Gao Qilin simply smiled meaningfully.
