Chapter 1044 - 421: Zhou, Come Upstairs with Me!
Han Lie went out, turned a corner, and within a few hundred meters, he arrived at the Pan Family’s place.
Both Panzi and Annie were waiting at home, while Pan Ge went out with her girlfriends to watch a movie.
"How did it go? All set?"
"Hmm."
Han Lie nodded and smiled, "Liu Hanhe is pretty smart, with excellent emotional control, and that guy surnamed Bao really surprised me."
Panzi sneered and tossed aside a document.
"Ha! Those private equity folks from earlier years, not a good one among them. All about flattering, bootlicking, and scheming, with little real skill, over a hundred pounds of pure cunning, their moral bottom line is much lower than average..."
Han Lie picked up the file and glanced at it, wow, it was a background check on Liu Hanhe and his three associates.
In the country, only violent departments have full authority to investigate someone, as they can use official documents to access all relevant information.
What Panzi provided was only the character analysis and network diagram, the asset part was estimated roughly.
But the numbers were still quite impressive—
Combined, they had at least 1 billion in assets, including but not limited to company shares, fixed assets, personal cash, marketable securities.
"Alright, seems like finding them 500 million shouldn’t be risky."
Panzi grinned, rubbing his belly, "Cai Ye will be happy, releasing another 500 million, what’s the interest rate you set?"
"6% for half a year."
Annie was stunned, "Why set it so low? Aren’t they pretty much without resistance?"
Oh man, turns out you’re the real shark...
Han Lie explained, "Their personal wealth isn’t affected, setting the interest rate too high wouldn’t be appropriate, if it forces them to seek money elsewhere, it might disrupt my plan."
Panzi nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, if Xiao Lie doesn’t offer such good terms, once they risk everything to find someone else to pledge, using their entire 1 billion to exchange for a 500 million loan, getting the money a couple of days early, the affected profit will be counted in billions."
And then, "Anyway, Old Cai is the type who’s content with little joy, not too ambitious, 6% for half a year is enough to make him happy."
Zhao Anni cut a mango for Han Lie and asked, "About that 100% pledge rate..."
"We can tighten the evaluation a bit, we won’t lose."
Han Lie calculated every aspect thoroughly, making Zhao Anni less worried, turning to discuss the decoration matters.
Gosh, even the blueprint hasn’t been finalized yet.
The mother-in-law has all the design companies exhausted, doing nothing but revising the draft every day.
Under pressure, the outcome is indeed amazing.
The latest design, viewed with Han Lie’s foresight spanning 10 years, is already quite stunning.
This thing follows the principle of getting what you pay for, if the money is in place, they can accomplish any fancy idea you have.
"Too bad just the fine decoration takes 6 to 8 months at least, it might not be ready for New Year next year..." Zhao Anni looked regretful, "I was hoping to invite the in-laws to the Magic Capital for a gathering during New Year!"
Han Lie understood her point, proactively highlighting the key aspect, "We’re not in a rush to move in, showing everyone during the engagement so they know, isn’t that enough?"
Annie instantly beamed, "Right, right, let’s stay at home then!"
Panzi slightly twisted his mouth, feeling a bit discontent.
No matter how disappointing the little cotton-padded jacket is, he himself raised her from a tiny pink dumpling, how could she suddenly become someone else’s?"
He intended to take a jab at Han Lie, but after touching his waist, he suddenly felt timid...
Sigh, it’s tough being a middle-aged man!
After some idle chat, Zhao Anni suddenly voiced concern about the stock market activity.
"By the way, Xiao Lie, with all the commotion, how much has your fund made?"
Han Lie hadn’t remembered the exact numbers, giving a rough estimate.
"A little over 3 billion, but that’s floating profit; the heavily weighted stocks we hold didn’t perform particularly strong in this rebound, there was some retreat in the last few days, and it will continue to retract.
In the end, only this round’s operation, less than 2 billion in actual profit.
The market is still so lackluster, before a bull market arrives, there’s no big money to be made; the future period will be a time of waiting and conserving..."
Listen up!
This is what they call being modest!
Zhao Anni was extremely satisfied with her good son-in-law, eager to shower him with every compliment.
But Panzi was especially displeased—Kid, are you implying I’m useless?!
What’s with saying there’s no big money to be made?
Not courteous!
For Panzi, having a capable son-in-law is necessary, but having a son-in-law that’s overly capable feels even worse.
Do I, a man in the prime of life, need your earnings to support my daughter?
The worst part is, half of the money the brat earns is technically mine, yet it’s tricky to find fault...
Panzi didn’t show any kindness to Han Lie and cleverly changed the subject, "We’ll discuss the stock business once work resumes, aren’t you meeting Zhang Yiming in the Imperial Capital tomorrow? How’s the preparation going?"
Bringing this up, Han Lie also turned serious.
Participating in Byte’s financing is the most important matter recently, far more significant than cutting losses or stifling Gao Diaomao.
"Everything’s planned out, Uncle Pan, want to go with me?"
"Oh? Will it matter if I go?"
Upon hearing the invitation, Panzi’s spirits lifted, and he suddenly felt cheerful.
But that didn’t stop him from feigning importance.
"I’m not quite clear on your plan..."
"What kind of plan could I have, just looking to make friends."
