Chapter 324: Emptied the Bank

After hearing that, Xiao Ming then nodded in relief; since no one would disturb them, he believed their affairs would proceed more smoothly.

Finally, they turned their gaze to the three boxes placed on the ground.

One of the boxes he had already seen yesterday, and he knew it contained many important contracts, but at that time he hadn't examined it closely enough to see exactly what was inside.

They certainly knew all this, and moreover, the purpose of their coming here today was probably entirely because of these things.

"Come, before I show you what's inside this box, take a look at this—this is a contract I drafted this afternoon in the room; tell me if this wording works."

This Tang Mu was very obedient, indeed treating the matter as important; thus he spent the whole afternoon in the Bin Guan's room, pondering how to draft the contract.

Xiao Ming nodded, then finally took the contract and read its contents carefully.

It could be said to be perfect, even flawless, with not a single loophole appearing.

However, from this contract he could tell that the two parties were very shrewd businesspeople, and they would not leave any loopholes for them.

"Hehe, it seems you are quite knowledgeable about contracts, right?"

"That's right; I used to work in legal affairs, so I naturally know these situations inside out. How about it? Any problems?"

"No, it's written very well, with no problems at all; most importantly, you have removed yourself very cleanly."

"What, you don't mean that, do you?"

"Hehe, nothing much; actually, this point doesn't matter to me—I just wanted you to live the rest of your life in peace and stability, without intending to disturb you again."

"All right, if that's the case, after this is verified and found problem-free, we must sign it, and finally we must fulfill the contract."

"Rest assured, you wrote three business days, but I won't make you wait that long; tonight after signing, I'll immediately transfer the money to your account, but I tell you I can only give you half now; the other half will be given after the matter is settled—is that okay?"

"Fine, that's naturally no problem; come on, let me show you."

Saying that, they walked over, first pushing the first box over, then taking out all the thick stacks of contracts inside.

"These are the investment contracts from the various financiers we dealt with at foreign banks earlier, plus some loan contracts."

"Wait, how come there are investment contracts and loan contracts? How did you take all these away?"

"Put simply, if these can be converted, they can all be turned into money; at the time they signed such contracts, these people had all borrowed money from the bank."

"If that's the case, then these contracts should belong to the bank; if you've taken them out, how are the borrowers and debtors supposed to sort out their relationship next?"

"So, when we did this, we basically gave them no way out at all."

"I have to admit, Zong Long's doing this is absolutely extreme; he's essentially emptied the entire bank, right?"

"Exactly that; moreover, take a close look at the business arrears on this."

Saying that, he flipped out one of the contracts and placed it in front of Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming merely took a careful look; although he didn't fully understand the English on it, he could clearly see the financier's seal at the end, and that was Zong Long's name.

"Zong Long?"

"That's right; you can see that Zong Long here does not fully represent the bank, but rather an individual."

"If that's the case, then it amounts to the money appearing to be funded by the bank on the surface, but the key issue is that ultimately the repayment obligations all belong to Zong Long."

"That's the meaning."

"This move is truly formidable, and it's equivalent to transferring all of the bank's assets into his own name."

"Yes, Zong Long means exactly that."

"Then, if that's the case, what about you two? What else can you do? The money is all his, so when it comes time to count the money, won't it just be him alone?"

"Rest assured, among us three there is certainly another agreement; moreover, if it really relied on him alone, do you think he could carry out this contract?"

"Hmm, thinking about it, that's indeed the case; such a big matter, he definitely couldn't do it alone—are all these things contracts?"

"That's right, they're all contracts; therefore, after he obtains these contracts, holding them actually enables him to claim repayment for this."

"However, if one tries to trace this sum, it will probably be somewhat difficult."

"Yes, it's indeed somewhat difficult, but if we really follow this through, there should be no major problem, after all, they have some collateral with us; let me show you this part—it's their collateral contract."

"Bank loans naturally require collateral; this is a normal situation, equivalent to saying all the loans currently are in here—how much money is there in total?"

"If you add them all up, it should be around 130-plus hundred million."

"Over 130 hundred million? Hehe, Zong Long's gall is truly huge."

"That's right, this is just the accumulation over the past two months; if you add earlier amounts, it's probably too many to count."

"All right, this thing isn't of much significance to me; what about the other two boxes? I'm more interested in those—what exactly is inside them?"

Saying that, Xiao Ming turned his gaze once again to the other two boxes.
