Chapter 154: Cooperation with Huaihai Bank

Niu Ju raised his cup and said: "Tonight, everyone is gathered here; this side is Chairman Zhao of Da Heng Group, and that side is Bank Manager of Huaihai Bank."

They are all my good friends, good partners.

Here, I want to say a few words to express my feelings.

Cooperation leads to mutual benefit; cooperation leads to better development.

Let's drink up the wine in our cups.

After Niu Ju finished speaking, he drank the cup in one gulp.

Everyone also happily raised their cups and drank up the wine together.

After Niu Ju drank three cups of wine in succession,

He pulled my hand on this side and Bank Manager's hand on that side,

letting our hands clasp together.

Niu Ju said: "The ancients say that a thousand miles of destiny is tied by a single thread. I am like the moon elder in heaven, tying your destinies together."

Jianqiang, we have known each other for a long time; today I introduce Bank Manager to you, hoping you can seize this opportunity well.

I quickly said: "Niu Ju, rest assured, I hit it off with Bank Manager at first sight. We have good rapport. I believe we can continue to develop further."

"Bank Manager, you have always wanted to expand business across regions. This is an opportunity that can let Huaihai Bank quickly increase its influence in Zaocheng. Cooperating with Da Heng Group is equivalent to partnering with the top real estate magnate in Zaocheng."

"How Bank Manager proceeds from now on is up to you." Niu Ju then said to Bank Manager.

Bank Manager's eyes smiled into a slit,

"Niu Ju, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Huaihai Bank. Rest assured, I will definitely seize it; I will use all my skills to attract Chairman Zhao's attention."

"Come, Chairman Zhao, let us drink a cup to strengthen our bond."

Bank Manager held my hand with one hand and raised his cup with the other.

I also quickly raised my cup to clink,

clinked cups with Bank Manager,

then drank it all in one go.

Both sides sat down.

Niu Ju clapped his hands, laughing happily: "Today I am so thrilled; we have successfully joined hands between Da Heng Group and Huaihai Bank."

"Shi Yong, Da Jun, Manager Kang, let us all drink a cup together."

Shi Yong, Da Jun, and Ya Li also raised their cups to drink with Niu Ju.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes,

We have finished chatting; now it's time to discuss the main topic.

I directly said to Bank Manager: "Bank Manager, the matter of the home purchase loan will be handled by your bank; we have followed the rules. For the specific details of future cooperation, you will liaise with Manager Kang."

I will not participate.

Today being able to meet Bank Manager is my honor.

I have something I want to ask Bank Manager."

Bank Manager immediately laughed and said: "Chairman Zhao, don't be polite; anything I know, I will definitely tell you."

I then said: "Bank Manager, to be frank, our business will be handled by Zaocheng Bank from now on. Because Zaocheng Bank had an incident. Therefore, there was no choice; Niu Ju arranged this connection between us."

Zaocheng Bank, besides home loans, also gives loans to our company.

We currently have six project sites in Zaocheng,

all are good projects, but due to funding issues, two have already been halted.

Our home loans are being cooperated with you.

Can we further deepen our cooperation by providing our company with a large loan?

You can have Niu Ju check our group's credit.

If you can give us a large loan, I believe our cooperation can last longer."

After I finished speaking,

Bank Manager laughed even more,

"Chairman Zhao, Niu Ju has already told me about your situation. Not long ago, he came to me hoping I would extend a helping hand to assist you."

We also want to help you secure this loan between us.

However, cross-regional large loans still need coordination from the city. You understand local affairs; we also have many places where we are not in charge.

There was no way; at that time I could only refuse Niu Ju. If you don't believe me, ask Niu Ju.

Niu Ju immediately said: "Jianqiang, what Lao Gu said is true. At that time, Lao Gu refused me, and I was furious. I thought, even for this matter, we still need to report to Huaihai City."

"Ah, there's no way. Jianqiang, please understand more."

I said: "Niu Ju, I trust Bank Manager. Don't say more; I understand."

Bank Manager then said: "Chairman Zhao, things are different now; we have already cooperated on home loans."

This has let the bank see profit.

The remaining cooperation is not yet a matter of course.

After you launch your project, I will increase your credit limit for you.

Thinking of tens of billions is difficult, but tens of millions or more is still possible."

What Bank Manager said about this is not nonsense,

the loan quota needs to be increased bit by bit.

No one can suddenly borrow hundreds of millions from the bank unless backed by a powerful tycoon.

However, having his support of tens of millions is also very good.

I hurriedly said: "Bank Manager, thank you so much. After all, this is our first cooperation; this credit increase is only incremental."

Today, just having you say this is enough; I believe our cooperation will last a very long time and be very good—I raise a cup to you.

After saying that, I picked up a cup of wine from the table.

"You can't do that, rise up, rise up." The bank manager hurriedly stood up again.

Niu Ju laughed heartily at the side,

"Jianqiang, Lao Gu, after you finish this cup you can go into the bridal chamber."

"All right, after we finish the bridal chamber, the couple will return home, thanks to Niu Ju's matchmaking." I said.

"Chairman Zhao, this isn't right—I'm a man." The bank manager said with a laugh.

"You old Gu, enough, sit down. You're still a man. Even if you were a woman, our Jianqiang wouldn't do anything to you—Jianqiang is a model husband, faithful, never had any trouble in relationships. In this regard I admire Jianqiang." Niu Ju finished speaking and gave me a thumbs-up.

I quickly laughed and said, "Niu Ju, you're not praising me, you're criticizing me—lacking courage, basically nobody likes me."

"All right, Jianqiang, not liking you—I still don't know about you. Before, Xia Yuan was a senior beauty, and Yang Tao, and …." Niu Ju tried to list all the women I know."

"Niu Ju, give me some face, okay? The kids are here; acting like this is disrespectful to our elders." I immediately stopped Niu Ju.

Niu Ju only then realized he had misspoken,

"Da Jun, don't take it to heart—between me and your dad, we just drink and get happy, we like to joke. Sigh, time really flies; I never expected the kids to be this big."

We work hard not for anything else but for the kids. Da Jun, do well; we'll be waiting for you to support us in our old age. Come, let's drink to a brighter future for Da Heng Group.

Niu Ju raised his wine cup.

We also raised our cups and drank with Niu Ju.

The banquet ended in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.

After finishing the wine, Niu Ju wanted to sing another song.

We hurriedly accompanied him to the KTV room in the hotel,

Niu Ju selected that song "Farewell My Concubine" again,

It sounded just like a bull's roar.

Shi Yong didn't back down either, selecting the song "Keep the Roots",

Everyone drank so much they covered their ears.

Then Ya Li glanced at me,

then she selected the song "Just How Many Good Sisters Do You Have?",

She sang it to universal applause.
