In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

As soon as Zheng Qian left, Chang Chenghu walked into the room and saw Shen Xuewu. Shen Xuewu immediately came over like a lapdog!

"Tiger Bro!"

"Well done!"

After saying that, Chang Chenghu gave his subordinate a look, and the subordinate immediately took out 100,000 yuan from his bag and put it on the table! Then he took out another 50,000 yuan!

"You did a good job. Here's an extra 50,000 yuan as a reward. Also, it's 7 PM now, so your expenses at Shanshui Manor are free until 7 PM tomorrow! But..."

Chang Chenghu sneered as he said this!

"I understand, Tiger, I can't tell anyone, hehe!"

Shen Xuewu was bowing and scraping as he spoke!

"Be good! Have fun, little bro!"

Chang Chenghu patted Shen Xuewu's face, then took the ornaments from Shen Xuewu's body, such as a big gold chain, a small gold watch, and a ring! Then he walked out!

Shen Xuewu's eyes lit up, and he shouted out!

"Waiter! Hurry, call my French teacher! I want four!"

And so, Zheng Qian told Zheng Xipo everything he had learned from Shen Xuewu. Zheng Xipo was a little suspicious. He knew this Shen Xuewu; he had taken his house at the original price. But now, this "fairy pointing the way" was asking them to mortgage their shares. He felt something was wrong!

"Dad, don't overthink it. I practically begged him to teach me martial arts, telling him you were dying, and that's when he finally told me!"

"Even if we could mortgage them, we only have a little over a million shares. Can we mortgage two million? Impossible! We're still short over a million in debt!"

Zheng Xipo said in an annoyed tone! To be fair, Shen Xuewu's help in buying the house at the original price had made Zheng Xipo trust him, and with Zheng Qian saying this, he was confident!

"How about we spend two million to buy those one million worth of shares first, and then come back to use them as collateral?"

Zheng Qian offered the idea, but Zheng Xipo waved his hand dismissively and said irritably!

"What are you talking about? Those guys surnamed Chen over there didn't really believe we were Old Master Chen's people. If it weren't for a one-time buyout, they definitely wouldn't have given us the shares! What those people are afraid of is Old Master Chen, Sha Ruijin, who insists on a one-time buyout."

"But! We only have one million. Even if we get approved for one million, we're still one million short!"

Zheng Qian said!

"Let's first talk to the person Shen Xuewu introduced us to see if we can buy the shares first and then use them as collateral!"

Zheng Xipo sighed!

Now Zheng Xipo and his son Zheng Qian arrived at Luo Run's side. Luo Run wasn't from Jingzhou; he was from Luzhou and was a sworn brother of Chang Chenghu. He had been brought over by Chang Chenghu to help him! So Zheng Xipo didn't recognize him. Most of the loan sharks in Jingzhou were Chang Chenghu's men, and Zheng Xipo knew them all. If it were them, Zheng Xipo definitely wouldn't lend money to them!

"You must be Mr. Luo! We were introduced by Shen Xuewu! He said you can get loans! Hehe, he said mentioning his name will reduce the interest by one cent!"

Zheng Qian looked at Luo Run and saw that he looked like a big brother. He was wearing a suit and tie, and there were four or five men with tattoos around their necks. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with. He said with a smile.

"Oh, you're A-Wu's classmate, right? A-Wu told me he can't lend you this money, or he'll turn against me! You know what I do, the interest rates are ridiculously high!"

Hearing Luo Run say this, Zheng Qian was somewhat displeased. What was going on? Was Shen Xuewu playing tricks on him? Forbidding him from lending money?

But Zheng Xipo didn't think so. It seemed that Shen Xuewu was a good comrade, and that he shouldn't lend money at such high interest rates! It seemed that Shen Xuewu treated his son quite well, and that he didn't seem to be setting up a scheme!

"Mr. Luo, we need the money urgently. Who would borrow from loan sharks if they didn't need it urgently? Besides, Xuewu said you even reduced the interest rate by one percent. How is this loan sharking? You're our benefactors!"

Zheng Xipo smiled and said!

"Who are you?"

Luo Run asked!

"My name is Zheng Xipo! I am Zheng Qian's father!"

"Weren't you supposed to have surgery in Beijing? That's why your son came to borrow money. Oh? What's going on here? I need to call A-Wu!"

Luo Run also pretended to be surprised. This was all part of the drama. Now Zheng Xipo was completely relieved!

"Mr. Luo, let's not beat around the bush. I'm fine. I just need some money. You're a lender too, so let's just do a normal transaction! Why bother contacting my nephew?"

Zheng Xipo treated Shen Xuewudang as one of his own. It's good that his son has such a good brother, so there's no need for the two children to disagree!

"Oh? That works too. As long as you have something to offer as collateral, I'll give you the loan. Two million, right? How long will it take?"

Luo Run laughed and put down his phone!

"One, two months at most!"

"Zheng Xipo said!" Luo Run nodded and said.

"Okay, then let's pledge the shares. I'll still give you 3% interest, which is 60,000 a month for two million, totaling 120,000 for two months. You just need to pledge me shares worth 212,000! That way, we won't have any trouble in the future! We'll sign a contract with a 212 ratio!"

Luo Run wouldn't write down a 3% interest rate on a piece of paper, treating it like a normal loan with no interest! That's called predatory lending—he collected 212 million but only gave you 2 million! Otherwise, things would be complicated if a lawsuit broke out!

Zheng Xipo understood that it was normal for these people to do this. Although it hurt him a little, he only had a little over a million shares, and they needed his help!

"Okay, but Mr. Luo, I need you to advance the funds first. After I buy the shares, I'll use them as collateral!"

Zheng Xipo said with a smile, but Luo Run, who wanted to act more realistically, immediately changed his expression!

"Say that again? Are you two kidding me? You want me to pay for it upfront? What kind of international joke is this? Holy crap, get out!"

Luo Run was just thinking about Yuan Shu's lines in the new Three Kingdoms series he'd been watching recently, so he simply waved his hand!

Zheng Xipo became anxious and quickly said!

"No, Mr. Luo, let's talk this over. We're all business people. I'm not trying to get something for nothing. The shares are indeed pledged to you! Shares can be exchanged for money anyway!"

Luo Run was still looking at him speechlessly, while Zheng Xipo continued speaking!

"I'll give you a 300,000 yuan bridging fee, how about that? That means you pay 2 million yuan and get 2.3 million yuan worth of shares!"

"Are you sure? With interest, that's 2.42 million shares!"

Luo Run smiled. Zheng Xipo was speechless upon hearing this. He had already added 180,000, and this guy was still not satisfied! He wanted another 300,000!
