Chapter 51: Borrow Again, Try Harder!
The territory of Zhongxinyi.
Lian Haolong, who had been dead drunk just a moment ago, was now as sober as ever.
He spoke to his subordinates in a serious tone: "I believe everyone saw the way Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Jiajun looked at each other just now."
When a subordinate is as prominent as that, any Dragon Head in the underworld would certainly bring him over to show him off in front of all the other big bosses on an occasion like tonight.
Yet tonight, Jiang Tiansheng didn't even look at Chen Jiajun once.
The answer is self-evident; there is a deep rift between the two sides.
Ahong, Afa, Aheng, and A Wu, the Four Heavenly Kings present, were discussing it in a hubbub; they couldn't figure it out.
After all, Chen Jiajun now has fierce warriors like clouds under his command; how could someone like that not be held in high regard?
Lian Haolong smiled broadly and said: "If Hongxing doesn't have internal strife, how will we have a chance? Once our goods arrive at the shore, everyone will mobilize their troops and close the shops; we act together."
"Brother Long, in my opinion, we might as well let Chen Jiajun bring his men and defect to our Zhongxinyi," Liang Yuelian suggested. "I can tell that Chen Jiajun doesn't seem to like Jiang Tiansheng either."
"Once they defect, they become enemies. Jiang Tiansheng will definitely have people do things then. If we have a showdown with Hongxing, it will all require money and men to fill the gap."
"As for talking, I don't think there's any need to talk; Jiang Tiansheng won't let go."
"So, it's simpler to just take the territory by force."
Lian Haolong's thinking could not be called anything but meticulous.
Lian Haodong smoked a cigarette and looked at Lian Haolong: "Big Brother, then what reason will we use?"
"That's simple. Didn't Afa say his brothers owe Dongxing a sum? Susu, you go find Jinmaohu, buy the debt rights and the IOUs for this portion, and then we'll do it in the name of debt collection."
Zhongxinyi also has its own finance company under its banner.
"Understood. Afa, you are more familiar with the Dongxing side; you arrange a meeting with Jinmaohu Shamang for me." Liang Yuelian looked at Afa, and the latter nodded.
Lian Haolong smiled and said: "Fine, it's settled then. Once we handle that batch of goods, we'll go handle Liangzai Jun!"
At this moment, Lian Haolong was already enjoying the beautiful vision of himself taking over Chen Jiajun's territory and getting his hands on most of Hong Kong Island.
Yet he was completely unaware that an invisible demon had heard all these secrets.
Upon receiving the news from Lao E, Chen Jiajun's expression was also somewhat stunned.
He hadn't expected that while he was thinking of dealing with Lian Haolong, Lian Haolong was also thinking of dealing with him, and even wanted to buy the high-interest debt that his brothers owed to Dongxing to take the opportunity to stir up trouble!
Wonderful!
Internal strife in Zhongxinyi is imminent; when that time comes, how would Zhongxinyi have the time to come and manage this account of his?
Once Zhongxinyi collapses, Lian Haolong dies, and Liang Yuelian is finished off in the women's prison, there will be no one left to collect the debt!
It's equivalent to the money borrowed previously being a freebie!
Well done, Zhongxinyi!
In this way, he could even let his brothers go and borrow a sum of high-interest loans from Jinmaohu Shamang!
Chen Jiajun was suddenly about to be thrilled to heaven!
No!
He must take advantage of this timing to go and borrow another high-interest loan.
It just so happens that he has been so poor these past few days that he's gone crazy.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Dumu to handle the matter: "Dumu, see how many of our brothers haven't gone to borrow money from Dongxing yet, and hurry up to get another sum of money!"
"OK!"
The next day.
A group of young demon slaves drove luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and under Dumu's leadership, arrived at Xinghui Finance Company.
Regarding Dumu, this fierce underworld figure, Jinmaohu Shamang did not dare to be negligent. Times have changed; when they first met, Dumu was just a subordinate who had made a name for himself by finishing off Babi.
But now, Dumu, having experienced the great battles with Heshenghe and the Wang Bao gang, had long since become famous far and wide.
Shamang personally brewed a cup of tea, placed it in front of Dumu, and handed him a cigarette: "Brother Dumu, you wouldn't be here to talk to me about high-interest loans, would you?"
"Yeah!"
"Today I brought these brothers here to borrow some more money." Dumu said, holding the cigarette with his bowl-sized fist.
Shamang was stunned; he had originally thought Dumu was here for those previous sums, as the one-month repayment deadline was almost up.
He didn't expect that not only did Dumu have no intention of paying back the money, but he actually wanted to bring some new faces to borrow another sum.
He rubbed his hands and said warmly: "Brother Dumu, why don't you let those brothers you guaranteed pay back the money first? For your sake, Brother Dumu, I can lower the interest rate!"
"Jinmaohu, you egg-sucking bastard, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that my Brother Dumu's subordinates won't pay you back?" Dumu glared.
Jinmaohu trembled: "With you, Brother Dumu, what would I be afraid of?"
"Isn't that enough? The brothers have also made money; are you still afraid there's no money to pay it back!" Dumu said righteously.
It seemed like that was the logic, but why did it sound so awkward!
"Rest assured, those three venues on Hennessy Road are already mine; I'm not afraid of having no money! Now it depends on whether you, Jinmaohu, know how to behave." Dumu said viciously.
Jinmaohu gritted his teeth: "Fine! How about this, one hundred thousand per person, how's that?"
"What? Only one hundred thousand? Is my Dumu's face worth so little? At the very least, it has to be two hundred thousand!" Dumu slammed his thigh and said angrily.
That day, the money-counting machines at Xinghui Finance Company were once again pushed to their limits, and the volume of business was incredibly good.
Dumu and his brothers borrowed a full twenty million in high-interest loans.
Watching Dumu and his group leave, Luo Dingfa of Zhongxinyi gave him a call to arrange a meeting to discuss matters.
Luyu Tea House.
Liang Yuelian's hand circled the rim of the teacup repeatedly: "Jinmaohu, I heard that Chen Jiajun's brothers have borrowed quite a sum from you? We want to buy this portion of the debt rights from you."
"Sister Susu, are you serious?"
This is what you call a pie falling from the sky!
Dumu and his brothers have a full 40 million in usurious loans with him, and Jinmaohu still needs to spend time collecting that 40 million.
If Zhongxinyi could buy this portion of the debt, he, Golden Tiger, could quickly recoup the capital.
Liang Yuelian smoked a cigarette and took a sip of tea with graceful elegance: "I am sitting right in front of you, could this be fake? How much in usurious loans did those brothers of Chen Jiajun borrow in total?"
"A total of 40 million," Jinmaohu said truthfully.
"What?" Liang Yuelian and Afa were stunned on the spot.
Originally, they had intended to report this figure on the high side, but they had not expected this amount to already be as high as 40 million; this truly exceeded their imagination.
After all, with a "nine out, thirteen return" interest rate, who would borrow so much in usurious loans!
In the end, for the 40 million in usurious loan debt, the amount agreed upon by both parties was 50 million; deducting the 40 million cost, Jinmaohu used this transaction to make 10 million in performance for this month!
This money came much more comfortably than moving goods!
