Chapter 731: Chapter 731: 100 Billion, Are You Slapping My Face?
"I need time to think!"
Dongfang Wenzheng did not relent, and Dong Xing glanced at him. This old fox was not easily persuaded.
"Alright, I will wait for Uncle’s message, but it would be best if you could give me an answer before tomorrow."
Having said all there was to say, Dong Xing did not waste any more words and stood up to leave.
"How did it go? Did that old man relent?"
Dong Xing shook his head.
"Dongfang Wenzheng is an old fox; it’s not that easy to make him relent. However, the position of Century’s chairman would surely tempt this old fox. He’s just holding out for a better offer."
"Oh, then what do we do? We don’t have much cash on hand now, and although we’ve made some progress with the mortgage loan from the bank, it amounts to only about forty billion at most. If this old fox doesn’t enter the fray, we’ll run out of supplies."
"Wait for the stock market to open next Monday. The funds we have won’t be enough to withstand their selling onslaught."
Stock market confrontations are real battles involving actual money; it’s all about who has more strength.
"Need money? I have some."
Just as the two were walking out of the corridor, someone stopped them. Dong Xing looked up at the imposing woman standing before him, slightly stunned.
"Mingyue Sister."
Lan Tianfang, standing next to Dong Xing, also involuntarily called out "Sister" upon seeing Xiao Mingyue appear before them, and Dong Xing also took in a sharp breath. How could this woman appear here?
"Mingyue Sister."
Dong Xing also called out "Sister." Xiao Mingyue had a special status in Sea City; not only did she come from one of the same eight prominent families as him, but she had also married into a top influential family and became the Young Mistress. Sadly, her husband had died early.
Yet, Xiao Mingyue chose to remain loyal to her late husband, a behavior that prompted the elders of her husband’s family to declare that as long as Xiao Mingyue did not remarry, she would always be their daughter-in-law.
Anyone who dared to cross her would also be crossing them.
And that person was one of the few remaining founding members of Yan Country. Though no longer at the center of power, his disciples and former officials were spread across the entire country.
Because of this, even the Xiao Family could not control this daughter; her special status placed her beyond reproach.
And this sister, her capabilities were formidable too. Without a husband, she focused solely on making money using her untouchable status.
"Little Dong Dong, Little Lan Lan, you guys have made your sister a little unhappy."
Xiao Mingyue smiled at Dong Xing and Lan Tianfang, who were extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, there was no one else nearby, or they would have lost all face.
"Mingyue Sister, what do you mean by that?"
Lan Tianfang took a deep breath, ignoring the nickname "Little Lan Lan" as if he hadn’t heard it, knowing this sister was not someone to provoke.
"Not coming to your sister when you’re short on cash; that’s not treating your sister like family. And yet, you still call me Mingyue Sister."
Dong Xing looked at Xiao Mingyue, somewhat confused about her intentions. Could it be that she wanted to lend him money? But the money she offered was hot to the touch; he couldn’t possibly use it.
Borrowing from the bank would cost him at most ten percent interest per year, but in her hands, the interest would exceed ten percent a month.
In other words, this sister was the biggest loan shark in Sea City, specializing in high-interest loans. And due to Xiao Mingyue’s special background, nobody who owed her dared not to pay her back or cause her trouble.
With this backing, many people felt confident depositing their money with her, generating immense profits. The exact scale was unknown, but Dong Xing knew that many around him kept their money with Xiao Mingyue. There were rumors, though without solid evidence, that this underground queen had at least a trillion yuan in cash flow.
Comparable to Yan Country’s wealthiest, who controlled Alipay.
In Sea City, rumors persisted that there weren’t just ten major corporations but also a hidden empire, ruled over by Sister Mingyue’s financial empire.
The ten corporations’ assets, even when combined, likely didn’t match up to this sister’s holdings.
"Mingyue, actually, we aren’t really short on cash."
Li Feng really didn’t want to get involved with this sister; if he brought her into the mix, she would swallow up more than half of the profits.
Yet, he couldn’t afford to get angry. While he could stand up to Li Feng and gather a bunch of people to beat him until he begged for mercy, he wouldn’t dare provoke this woman, as almost no one would stand by his side.
"What did you say, little Dong Dong? I didn’t quite hear you."
Xiao Mingyue stepped forward, smiling as she looked at Dong Xing. In public, Dong Xing, who usually strutted around with bravado, swallowed hard and then backed down entirely.
"Mingyue, would a hundred billion be okay!"
Dong Xing said through clenched teeth. That amount he could still afford. Handling Li Feng should be done within this month; it wouldn’t drag on too long. As long as he could secure Century Group, he could afford interest payments of ten or eight billion.
"You look down on your sister, don’t you? I came all this way and you only offer a hundred billion right off the bat, little Dong Dong. You are slapping your sister’s face, do you realize that?"
Xiao Mingyue’s expression turned a bit cold as she looked toward Dong Xing.
Face-slapping was a very serious issue.
These people valued face above all else; face was dignity. The reason he was at loggerheads with Li Feng wasn’t just because Ye Fan had slapped him, causing him to lose face, added to the fact that Li Feng dared to be disrespectful and create trouble.
But slapping this Mingyue’s face could lead to even more serious consequences.
"So, Mingyue, how much would you like to borrow?"
Dong Xing looked at Xiao Mingyue bitterly. The moment this sister spoke, it was like swallowing up miles of clouds. Ten billion almost reached the value of the company he held, and she didn’t even blink an eye.
"Well, it should be at least one or two hundred billion, shouldn’t it? Any less wouldn’t be worth my while to even open my mouth. And the opponent you’re facing is no small fry; a mere hundred billion wouldn’t even fill their teeth gaps."
Xiao Mingyue looked at Dong Xing with a smile.
"One or two hundred billion."
Dong Xing swallowed hard, and Lan Tianfang beside him felt his legs go weak. Mingyue truly lived up to her reputation. They had just been worrying about how to gather a hundred billion, even forcing Dongfang Wenzheng to dig into his family’s treasure to fill this gap.
But in an instant, Mingyue proposed lending them over a hundred billion.
The rumors were true; Mingyue was Sea City’s richest financier.
"What’s the interest?"
"No interest," Xiao Mingyue said.
Dong Xing felt bitter inside. No interest, great. Mingyue’s appetite was probably insatiable with even hundreds of billions, planning to bite huge chunks of fat off of Century Group. After all their planning, they might end up working for this sister for free.
Dong Xing took a deep breath, "Mingyue, whatever you desire, but please leave us some soup to drink."
"Listen to you talk, as if I, your sister Mingyue, am some kind of monster who devours people without spitting out their bones."
"Let’s go, let’s talk this through properly."
Xiao Mingyue regarded Dong Xing and his companion warmly. To deal with the Crown Prince, how could they proceed without borrowing money? A mere hundred billion wouldn’t even make a splash.
"Dad, what’s wrong?" Dongfang Ding looked at the distracted Dongfang Wenzheng.
"There’s trouble."
"Uh, what kind of trouble?"
"That woman."
Dongfang Wenzheng hadn’t expected Dong Xing to have connections with this woman.
"What about that woman? She looks quite the beauty, and what a figure..." Dongfang Ding said, narrowing his eyes.
