Chapter 1100 - 442: Overlooking the Long River (Part 2)
This is too realistic.
With the same assets, pledging them with someone else would land you barely over 300 million, and the interest would be higher too.
Only a fool would choose that 300 million.
If it weren’t for Master Cai putting up the money, they might have just let it go, pretending they sold them off, since there’s no loss anyway.
But Master Cai has openly warned them, who dares to try?
In modern society, especially in a place as crucial as the Magic Capital, it’s not likely for some ruthless tactics like running someone over with a mud truck to happen, but there are countless annoying yet legal ways to get at you. Among those hundreds of thousands of vegetable farmers and vendors, what kind of person can’t be found?
If you don’t want big trouble, you’d better obediently pay back the cash.
So, the conclusion is clear—
In the A-share market, Han Lie is the big boss.
In real society, Master Cai is like your own father.
Trapped from both sides, Liu Hanhe painfully realized he had no other path to take.
"Bro, what should we do?"
Hu Lei asked a redundant question, eyes sparkling.
He knew what should be done, he was just asking for an opinion.
"Deal with Gao Fengbo, and use it as an offering!"
Liu Hanhe looked into the distance with melancholy and sighed, "First I’ll have my brother-in-law turn himself in, link Gao Fengbo to something, and cut off his path to leave the country.
He can buy me some time, while I arrange things at the company and home, then actively go collect a fine ticket.
Then let’s see what result Han Lie actually wants!
If he remembers our full cooperation, and someone lets go a bit, those two things should result in confiscating sixty to seventy million of my illegal gains, plus a lifetime ban, not enough to go do hard labor.
Your sister-in-law isn’t of much help, so when I’m being held, you guys should support more with company matters..."
"No way, it can’t be?!"
Bao Bin’s eyes were bulging, at a loss for words.
"It’s fine."
Liu Hanhe instead saw it clearly, tugging his mouth into a smile.
"Triggering some of the bombs early might save from getting settled scores with in autumn, leaving clean money for your sister-in-law, then let her take Xiao Zhi abroad for studies, and maybe he could even take over my position in the future..."
"B-but..."
Suddenly Hu Lei interrupted, calmly saying: "Bro, some of the punishment is on behalf of us, I’ll cover a third, I’ll transfer it directly to sister-in-law later."
"I’ll also cover a third."
Bao Bin hurriedly changed his tone, no longer playing dumb.
Liu Hanhe was clear as a mirror, laughed lightly, "Then thank you, brothers. We’re making the worst plan, but there’s no need to scare ourselves. I see Teacher Han as a reasonable person, otherwise those big shots wouldn’t recognize him that much."
"Yeah, right, right!"
Besides nodding, Bao Bin couldn’t do anything else.
He couldn’t put on a show in front of Liu Hanhe and Hu Lei, they were too familiar with each other, playing those games was meaningless.
Honestly, did Liu Hanhe truly and voluntarily go out to bear the brunt?
Absolutely not.
But this big brother was clear in his heart: if they couldn’t survive this wave, the three brothers would inevitably part ways, and then no matter who got into trouble, it would implicate the other two.
If they split now, the three would die together.
Going head-on against Han Lie, they’d probably all die together.
Helping Han Lie, and actively revealing the issues related to Gao Fengbo, could quite possibly result in just taking a few hits.
Even if terribly unfortunate, and dealt with severely, at least there’d still be two brothers outside, who’d take some care of his family.
So, someone had to step up.
You couldn’t count on Bao Bin, even on the brink of death he’d bury his head in the sand.
Hu Lei had the least involvement, a bright future, forcing him to take the blame was unrealistic and would offend too many people.
When all’s accounted for, it’s better to step on the mine proactively, at least you could control the intensity of the explosion.
Liu Hanhe also wanted to continue to live it up comfortably, but he knew full well that since they’d already been buried in Yingkou Port, with Han Lie still holding their lives, you couldn’t afford any illusions.
Last year, he personally saw, just in Magic Capital, over a hundred so-called financial predators were dealt with.
No matter how glamorous or powerful before, what’s the use?!
To speak factually—in our country, once you make a mistake, there’s always a sword hanging over your head.
Some people and things can protect you from being cut temporarily.
While others can control the sword, slowly, bit by bit, stabbing down.
Compared to the pain, that fear of waiting for death is more unbearable.
Han Lie, oh Han Lie... sigh!
Liu Hanhe sighed once again, completely resolute.
...
"Master Cai, I’m bothering you. You really still have to take the lead!"
Han Lie, sycophantic, spoke pleasingly towards the phone, then a smiling yet impatient voice came from the other side.
"Then can you do less of those things that will trouble me later? I’m a proper vegetable seller, you want me to scare people, is that appropriate?"
"That won’t work, you’re like my second uncle!"
"Get lost! Don’t learn the bad from that cheap father-in-law of yours, brat!"
"Hahaha, just tell me, doesn’t getting paid feel good?"
"Uh... that does feel happy..."
"Isn’t that it, if there’s another similar opportunity, it’s all yours!"
"Gosh! You’re trying to break the heavens of the financial circle? Several at a time, it’s exhausting..."
"They’re not good people anyway, we’re acting out justice!"
"Screw you! Have the time to come home for a meal, bye."
