Chapter 43: Give It One Star—They Might Actually Do It!

Two hours later, Qin Qin Xiaoyu took his leave of Gao He and, led by Qinya Zhong, exited the Hongshan Investment office building, returning to the driver's seat of that Cullinan.

Of course.

He had not returned empty-handed; tucked in his jacket pocket at this very moment were five checks with a total value of one hundred million RMB.

As for the price he paid, it was naturally not small either; the interest rate on the loan was seven percentage points higher than the bank's.

Fortunately, this did not exceed Qin Qin Xiaoyu's expectations.

With his current capabilities, trying to secure a one-hundred-million loan from a bank would be nothing short of a pipe dream; even taking a step back and assuming there was the slimmest chance of approval, the disbursement process would be a long one.

"President Gao, aren't you afraid he won't be able to repay? Or that he'll just abscond with the funds? He's only in his early twenties!"

After seeing Qin Qin Xiaoyu off, Qinya Zhong returned to Gao He's office; after hesitating for a long time, she could not help but ask softly.

"I actually very much hope he fails to repay when the time comes."

A faint smile on his face, Gao He replied in a relaxed tone.

During the two-hour conversation just now, he had listened to Qin Qin Xiaoyu's plans for the future of the game Genshin Impact.

Although some of the content sounded somewhat exaggerated, judging from Qin Qin Xiaoyu's composed and orderly presentation.

For a brief instant, Gao He even suddenly felt that what this fellow was describing was not a plan, but rather something he had personally experienced.

He might truly succeed!

This was Gao He's intuitive thought while listening to Qin Qin Xiaoyu's description.

Of course.

Although intuition had played a certain role in him reaching his current status, the proportion it accounted for was not large.

The reason he ultimately lent one hundred million to Qin Qin Xiaoyu.

On one hand, because in Gao He's view, he was fully capable of repaying it; he had already roughly understood the profit model of the game Genshin Impact.

Breaking through thirty million before Venti's banner ended would not be difficult.

And this was merely the first banner since the server launch; subsequent ones should gradually increase, and even a massive explosion was possible when some characters from Xia Country appeared.

Based on this point, lending to Qin Qin Xiaoyu did carry risk, but it was not significant.

Additionally.

He and Qin Qin Xiaoyu had signed an agreement stating that if the loan was not repaid after one year, he would receive thirty-five percent of the shares in Genshin Impact.

Based on these two conditions, for Gao He, lending to Qin Qin Xiaoyu could already guarantee no loss of capital.

Setting aside these premises, Gao He actually also hoped Qin Qin Xiaoyu would succeed; lending money to help him was, in another way, fulfilling an innocent dream of his own youth.

Gao He still vaguely remembered that when he was studying abroad in Sakura Country, carrying a stack of drafts to interview at various anime and game companies, upon learning he was from Xia Country, they had shut the door on him, along with the disdainful expressions on those people's faces.

On the other side, after obtaining the huge sum of one hundred million.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu did not linger in front of the Hongshan Investment building; he drove straight to the studio, for with this money, most of his upcoming plans could now begin to be implemented and executed.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

He returned to his own office and was just about to call Old Cai and A-Wei over to discuss matters when, coincidentally, the two of them came over on their own.
