Chapter 1781 — The Industry in Hand
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"This... all right..." An Jiande was helpless. But since his father had spoken with such finality, he naturally could not disobey. Still, his heart grew even heavier with resentment. Why should An Liwen get to do great things? Why should he be the one to bring the entire Gu Group's assets under the An family name?
Why should even his father back An Liwen? These outrages turned into seeds of hatred, buried deep in An Jiande's heart. He swore that once this business was over, he would do Gu Pengzhan to death and be rid of this grudge!
Over at the Gu Group, Gu Pengzhan had finally, with his own shares, Wei Zhao's shares, and numerous private holdings, signed the loan agreement with An Mingyue: all the shares he and Wei Zhao held would serve as collateral—and that was not all. Every piece of private real estate and land under his name in the Gu Group was mortgaged to An Mingyue in one go.
"Ah, Brother Pengzhan, I know it's useless to try to talk you out of it, but... never mind, I won't say it!" An Mingyue seemed utterly unconcerned as he handed the share certificates and property deeds Gu Pengzhan had brought over to the accountant beside him for review. Then he said, "These holdings—our An family has a rough idea of them already. I've spoken with my elder brother, and after consulting Father, he agreed to transfer three billion from the head office first. Your holdings here are worth about that much. What does Brother Pengzhan think?"
"Three billion? That much?" Gu Pengzhan was somewhat surprised. If these holdings and shares were valued at their full worth, they would certainly be worth more than three billion. But as collateral, they couldn't be valued at full price—so An Mingyue's offer was actually quite fair.
"Haha, we're old friends. Since it's a loan, I naturally can't take advantage of you. In fact, if the An family were mine alone to decide, I'd lend you the money with no collateral at all—the collateral is just a formality!" An Mingyue said.
"In that case, thank you, Brother Mingyue!" Gu Pengzhan was elated, mentally calculating how many times over three billion would multiply once combined with what he had already earned in the futures market. By his estimate, his enterprise would soon rise to yet another level.
The accountants An Mingyue had brought were no lightweights; the review was completed before long, and they nodded to confirm everything was in order. An Mingyue and Gu Pengzhan then signed the loan agreement...
When An Mingyue took the loan agreement bearing Gu Pengzhan's own signature, the corner of his mouth curved in a satisfied smile so faint it was barely noticeable—while Gu Pengzhan, for his part, let his smile show plainly on his face...
An Mingyue laughed inwardly. It seemed the Fire Wolf Gang's hypnotist really was formidable. Then again, if even a near-imbecile could be hypnotized, what of a normal man?
