Chapter 506: The Last Straw
Annuo Zuo shook his head and said: "I only know that Mr. Zhang is a shareholder of Disney. I don't know anything else. Of course, even if I know, I can't tell you. It's a business secret."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" At this time, the representative of Hengsheng Bank said impatiently: "Mr. Xiang, our bank can only give you two days. We hope you can raise the loan as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to
Use legal means."
Representatives from other banks also spoke one after another, with the same attitude as Hengsheng Bank.
Xiang Jiu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, but there was nothing he could do.
In order to prevent Xiang Jiu from absconding with the money, several bank representatives each left behind three bank financial personnel before leaving.
Xiang Jiu slumped down on the chair, looked at the ceiling with despair, and said: "It's over, it's all over now."
The bank came over today, and the board of directors is expected to come tomorrow. It has only been less than two months since I took up the position of president of Longhui Film Company.
But just for the sake of ridiculous face, he actually fell to this point, which made Xiang Jiu really regretful.
I stumbled downstairs and was about to drive home when a man came over.
Xiang Jiu saw that it was Annuo Desk, the representative of Huaqi Bank.
Annuo Desk said directly: "Mr. Xiang, I have a way to help Longhui Film Company turn the corner. I wonder if you are interested?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Jiu's eyes radiated an astonishing light and said, "What can we do?"
Annuo said confidently: "In addition to Star and Longhui TV, Longhui Film Company originally had 38 cinemas."
"There is a rich man who is very interested in movie theaters. If you are willing to sell the theater chain to him, he can help you withstand this risk."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Jiu immediately shook his head and said: "The theater is the lifeblood of our Longhui Film Company, and I absolutely cannot sell it."
Annuo said: "Mr. Xiang, it's time to wake up. Tomorrow is Friday. Unless you can raise 20 billion US dollars, Longhui Film Company will not be able to survive this week."
Xiang Jiu fell silent at these words, and suddenly asked: "How much money is the other party willing to pay?"
"150 million US dollars!" Annuo Desk said calmly!~
"How much? 150 million US dollars?" Xiang Jiu exclaimed directly: "Are you kidding me?"
Annuo Desk said: "Mr. Xiang, the price is indeed a bit low, but the other party can provide you with an interest-free loan of US$1.5 billion."
When Xiang Jiu heard this, he was very moved and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
"Of course!" Annuo Zuo smiled and said, "But you have to use Longhui's shares as collateral for one month."
"That is to say, after one month, as long as you can repay the loan, the shares will be returned immediately. At the same time, the other party can also ask Mr. Zhang to suppress Long Hui."
Xiang Jiu thought for a while and said: "Since Zhang Xiao has stopped suppressing Long Hui, why should I still borrow money?"
Annuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, don't forget, you still owe the bank a loan of US$1.5 billion?"
"If you don't get it, I'm afraid you will spend your next life in prison."
Xiang Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. An, please make arrangements. I want to see him."
Andro immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.
···
Half an hour later, Xiang Jiu met the mysterious rich man in a cafe.
This is a blond and blue-eyed man from the Lighthouse Country. He has sharp eyes and a very strong aura. He looks like a rich man at first glance.
Gu Lin
Andro introduced to Xiang Jiu: "Mr. Xiang, this is Mr. Clark, the actual person in charge of Bruce Investment Company."
"Mr. Clark, this is Mr. Xiang you are looking for."
Clark shook hands with Xiang Jiu and said, "Hello, Mr. Xiang!"
"Hello!"
After some greetings, everyone took their seats.
Clark said bluntly: "Mr. Xiang, Bian has already told you my purpose of looking for you!"
Xiang Jiu gave some thought and said: "Mr. Clark, our thirty-eight cinemas in Longhui are all built in the most luxurious commercial streets. The price you offered is really too low. I think it is at least 300 million US dollars."
Clark smiled and said: "Mr. Xiang, $300 million is fine, but we will cancel the interest-free loan of $1.5 billion. At the same time, we will not put pressure on Mr. Zhang."
"No!" Xiang Jiu said quickly when he heard that there would be no pressure on Zhang Xiao.
Just kidding, if Zhang Xiao continues to suppress Long Hui, he may not be able to resist it even if he sells thirty-eight theaters.
Clark smiled and said: "Mr. Xiang, 150 million U.S. dollars, 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in interest-free loans, and exemption from Mr. Zhang's suppression. These three conditions are enough to bring Longhui Film Company back to life."
"After offsetting the difference of US$150 million, do you still think it's unfair?"
Annuo Zuo also said softly to Xiang Jiu: "Mr. Xiang, don't come back when you can't miss the opportunity. With all due respect, this is your last life-saving straw. If you don't catch it, you will be doomed."
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiang Jiu finally nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Clark, I hope to sign the contract tonight."
Hearing this, Clark showed a bright smile on his face, picked up the coffee cup, and said: "I wish us a happy cooperation."
“A pleasure to work with!”
That night, Xiang Jiu's legal team and Clark's legal team negotiated for four hours and finally signed an agreement.
The content of the agreement is that Bruce Investment Company paid US$150 million to buy Longhui Film Company's 38 theaters across Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asian countries, and at the same time gave Longhui Film Company an interest-free single payment of US$1.5 billion.
The time is one month, and 75% of the shares of Longhui Film Company are used as guarantee.
Bruce Investment Company has an obligation to help Longhui Film Company resist malicious suppression from the outside world and restore Longhui Film Company's stock price.
After signing the agreement, Xiang Jiu said: "Mr. Clark, Zhang Xiao's side is up to you."
Clark smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang and I are old friends, he will give me this face."
After speaking, Clark made a video application to Zhang Xiao in front of Xiang Jiu.
Soon, Zhang Xiao’s sunny and handsome face appeared on the phone screen.
"Hey Clark, long time no see."
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
After the two exchanged some polite words, Clark said: "There is a saying in China that no matter what happens, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace. Today I made a video call to Mr. Zhang because I have something to ask for!"
Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "Clark, congratulations on your improved Chinese proficiency. Tell me, as long as I can do it, no matter what, who made me owe you a favor in the first place?"
Clark said: "Mr. Zhang, do you mean that by agreeing to my request, the favor you owe me will be gone?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "In this world, the most difficult thing to repay is a debt of gratitude. I don't want to keep owing it."
