In the beginning, lowering the price was just a prelude, and no one thought that Yang Liping would really sell two properties for less than 100 million. Yang Liping, of course, knew this too.
Initially, her anger was more because their price cut was too aggressive, even if unavoidable, it revealed their psychological expectations.
At this moment, upon knowing everyone’s true offer, Yang Liping fell silent.
million was naturally still lower than her initial expectations, but compared to others, it was much better...
From the expressions of other investors, it was clear that they couldn’t offer a higher price than Huo Chengrui either.
For a moment, Yang Liping felt hesitant. She deliberated and asked, "Mr. Huo, if we close the deal at 120 million, how soon can you make the payment?"
"Quickly, within a month, hopefully."
Huo Chengrui knew that he had already succeeded halfway and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Actually, his real bottom line was about the same as Yang Liping’s initial 130 million, but come on... closing at 130 million would unquestionably be a failed negotiation.
"A month is a bit too long..."
Yang Liping frowned and said helplessly, "Can you do it any faster?"
"Ms. Yang, you do business yourself, so you should know this isn’t up to me."
Huo Chengrui shook his head and said, "No company can come up with over 100 million in liquid assets so easily. In fact, promising a month’s time is already the fastest I can coordinate given how urgent you are."
"Of course, if you’re willing to accept 110 million, I can find ways to expedite some procedures, maybe within two weeks."
Finally, Huo Chengrui added with a light chuckle.
Yang Liping inquired with other investors, only to find them all shaking their heads.
Their payment cycles were either the same or longer than Huo Chengrui’s, with Liao Jianli even suggesting that while he could offer 115 million, it would have to be on an installment basis.
"Ms. Yang, I can offer 100 million..."
At this moment, Zhou Wang suddenly spoke up.
In the current atmosphere, Zhou Wang’s words felt quite out of place.
Not only was Yang Liping puzzled, but even Huo Chengrui looked bewildered... "Friend, are you out of your mind?"
Everyone had finished giving their offers, and you suddenly jump out saying you can offer 100 million...
Given the current situation, the 100 million offer had no competitiveness among everyone, making the statement seem pointless, like Zhou Wang was trying to make his presence felt.
But before everyone could laugh, Zhou Wang calmly added,
"Payment today."
The hallway suddenly went silent.
Before Huo Chengrui and others could react, Yang Liping had already stood up in surprise, as if to confirm,
"You just said... you can pay today?"
"Yes, today."
Zhou Wang nodded, indicating that Yang Liping hadn’t heard wrong.
At this point, the other investors snapped back to reality, looking at each other in disbelief.
Zhou Wang said he could pay today?
Really?
Isn’t he just a shareholder of a big media company, a newly minted billionaire?
Which newly minted billionaire can casually come up with 100 million?
Everyone knows that a person’s net worth includes real estate and various assets like real estate and equity.
A net worth of 100 million and 100 million in cash in hand are two entirely different concepts.
Back when the infamous robber Zhang attempted to blackmail the richest man on Hong Kong Island, even with billions, the richest man could only scrape together 500 million in cash overnight.
And that was an urgent situation.
Jiang Yisen was also caught off guard. He had secretly looked at his brother’s bank account, and it only had a few tens of millions, even though his brother’s assets had surpassed 1 billion last year...
For Zhou Wang to come up with 100 million in cash, didn’t that mean he was even more impressive than his brother?
Huo Chengrui really wanted to question whether Zhou Wang was bragging, but it wasn’t something he could ask directly. So, he could only sarcastically say, "Mr. Zhou, what a grand gesture, having a hundred million just like that."
He didn’t directly question him, but his words were full of doubt.
Hearing this, Yang Liping’s excited emotions cooled down as well.
Her assets had also exceeded 100 million at their peak, and so she understood the distinction...
However, before Yang Liping could hesitate and think of how to ask Zhou Wang to prove it, Zhou Wang, having already grasped everyone’s thoughts, pulled out his phone, casually dialed a number, and placed the phone, on speaker, on the table.
Everyone instinctively looked over. The number on the call screen was "40066-95555."
This was Zhao Hang’s private banking customer service number. As the top-ranked private banking service in the country, quite a few of them were familiar with this number.
The call was quickly answered, starting with a mechanical announcement, which soon switched to a sweet female voice:
"Mr. Zhou, good afternoon, welcome to our call. I’m your dedicated private banking client manager, Jaki. How may I assist you today?"
"Jaki, my assistant told me that the credit line I applied for yesterday has been approved?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou. After our expedited application, as the sole legal owner of Wangzhou Culture, the head office approved your personal revolving loan limit this morning..."
"What’s the limit?"
"The approved revolving limit is currently 2.2 billion. Additionally, according to the head office, if you are willing to pledge part of the equity of a few companies under your name, the limit can increase further..."
"I want to confirm, this 2.2 billion, I can access it anytime, right?"
Zhou Wang smiled and ignored her other remark, asking simply.
"That’s correct, Mr. Zhou. I can transfer the funds to your account anytime, with interest calculated daily. Borrow and repay anytime. Do you need the funds now?"
"Not at the moment, I’ll have Xu Wenxi contact you if needed."
After saying this, Zhou Wang hung up the call.
After receiving the intelligence yesterday, Zhou Wang had been pondering where to find the money.
His assets were substantial, but he barely had 20 million in cash.
The answer was undeniable, without liquidating any assets, the only channel was borrowing.
Initially, Zhou Wang was resistant, having been stuck in a financial pit before, but with his current perspective, he quickly came to ease with the idea.
Once money reaches a certain amount, it’s no longer just money; it’s also a resource that can be utilized, and its value comes from being used.
So, Zhou Wang became curious about how much he could borrow today.
After submitting documents through Xu Wenxi, the bank quickly responded, estimating the initial credit line would be around 2 billion...
Yes, 2 billion, just in credit.
No wonder, Zhou Wang’s qualifications were outstanding.
"Zero-debt high-net-worth individual."
Simply put, it boiled down to words like these.
Even the executives in the head office processing the application found it unbelievable that someone at this level had no debt whatsoever.
It was just unbelievable.
Besides Zhao Hang, Ming City Commercial Bank was also willing to give Zhou Wang a 100 million credit line...
If Zhou Wang was willing to pledge equity from a few companies, the amount could increase significantly.
Interestingly, because of this situation, Zhou Wang out of curiosity also checked the credit limits on his phone.
Borrowing 300,000, 1 million from We Bank, 200,000 from Microlender...
Inevitably, all the quick loan channels he accessed maxed out, and adding more info could increase them.
So now, Zhou Wang could casually move his fingers and borrow millions in a day...
Two months ago felt like a lifetime ago.
While Zhou Wang was having these thoughts, the expressions of others changed.
Two billion didn’t scare them.
But keeping in mind, this wasn’t a typical business loan, it was a personal credit loan...
Had the bank gone mad?
