When he returned home, it was around ten o'clock.
As soon as Jiang Yi entered the hall, he saw Li Ping and Shen Lu sitting on the sofa discussing company matters.
"What? Did something happen to the company again?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing has happened!"
Li Ping said with a smile, "We have officially started cooperating with the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. I initially thought the Beijing Chamber of Commerce was just being polite with us, but I didn't expect them to help our Tiansheng Group wholeheartedly."
"Today, Tiansheng Group has acquired three companies, greatly increasing its strength. Moreover, Miss Xu, the secretary of the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, proposed to help Tiansheng Group enter the real estate industry next! We are currently discussing the funding issue!"
"Is Tiansheng Group lacking funds?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Mmm!"
Li Ping nodded and said, "In order to develop Tiansheng Group's strength, I invested most of my funds in the pharmaceutical industry. Now, I temporarily cannot come up with so much money. You must know that entering the real estate industry requires a large amount of capital."
"How much is needed?" Jiang Yi asked.
"At least five billion!" Li Ping said.
"That's not much! I'll find a way!" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Li Ping's brows furrowed slightly, "Five billion is not a lot, but it's not a little either. Can you really find a way?"
"Mmm!"
Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Give me one day. After one day, I will find a way to raise five billion."
"That's great!"
Li Ping took a deep breath. "We were worried about this just now. Since you are so confident, we are relieved."
After Jiang Yi and Li Ping discussed Tiansheng Group's matters, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, after Li Ping and the others went to work, Jiang Yi called Royal Hotel and booked a private room.
Immediately after, Jiang Yi posted a message asking to borrow money in another WeChat group.
Jiang Yi did not directly ask people to borrow money because he could not guess their intentions. Although they said they wanted to help him, it was not necessarily sincere. They might have been doing it out of politeness. The human heart is unfathomable!
Moreover, he had not seen them for many years, and they had probably changed a lot.
An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at Royal Hotel and sat down on a chair in the private room, waiting for them.
Jiang Yi arrived an hour early.
He wanted to see if they would arrive early.
After nearly half an hour, the door of the private room was opened, and Ma Bai walked in from outside.
Seeing that Jiang Yi had already arrived, he was stunned for a moment.
However, Ma Bai quickly came back to his senses and smiled as he greeted Jiang Yi.
"Don't be so polite, sit down!"
Jiang Yi said.
"Qian Wanduo, that guy, probably won't come!"
Ma Bai said, "I understand his temper very well. He won't do anything that doesn't benefit him. Although he is the richest man in the capital, five billion is not a small amount for him."
Jiang Yi smiled slightly and said nothing.
He knew that Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo had always been at odds.
"Mr. Jiang, Qian Wanduo is an ungrateful fellow. If it weren't for you back then, how could he have made so much money now and become the richest man in the capital? Now that he has money and power, he doesn't put Mr. Jiang in his eyes. I'm really upset!"
Ma Bai's face was full of anger.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get down to business!"
Jiang Yi's gaze fell on Ma Bai, and he said, "I am in urgent need of five billion now. Find a way to get me five billion. This money is a loan from you, and I will return it to you in full later, with interest!"
"Mr. Jiang, you speak to me like this, you are treating me as an outsider. If you hadn't helped me back then, how could I have become one of the top ten richest men in the capital now! Don't worry, I have already made arrangements before I came. Five billion will be transferred to Tiansheng Group's account today!" Ma Bai said hurriedly.
"Thank you!" Jiang Yi said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Come in!" Jiang Yi shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room opened, and Qian Wanduo walked in from outside.
Qian Wanduo's expression was very unpleasant!
"Qian Wanduo, why are you only coming now? If you didn't want to come, don't come. Why come here to put on a show?"
Ma Bai looked at Qian Wanduo and said faintly, "I have already lent the money to Mr. Jiang. You are late, and there is nothing for you here anymore!"
"Ma Bai, you are really despicable!"
Qian Wanduo directly started to curse, "I have been here for a long time. I have been standing outside the private room, and I heard everything you slandered me with! You actually said I was ungrateful. I ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that I am ungrateful?"
Hearing this, Ma Bai was stunned.
He did not expect that Qian Wanduo had been hiding outside and eavesdropping just now.
"Let me tell you, Ma Bai, I, Qian Wanduo, will never forget Mr. Jiang's great kindness, even if I die!"
Qian Wanduo said, "Mr. Jiang saved my life and made me the richest man in the capital. If it weren't for Mr. Jiang, there would be no Qian Wanduo today. As long as Mr. Jiang says the word, let alone five billion, even if Mr. Jiang wants all my property, I won't frown!"
"That's not certain!" Ma Bai said coldly.
Qian Wanduo ignored Ma Bai and walked towards Jiang Yi, saying, "I know you are in urgent need of money, Mr. Jiang, so I have prepared ten billion. Tiansheng Group needs to develop and requires a lot of funds. Fifty billion is definitely not enough."
This statement stunned both Jiang Yi and Ma Bai!
Jiang Yi only needed five billion, but Qian Wanduo had prepared ten billion.
This amount of money was not a small sum.
Ma Bai frowned.
He wondered if he lost to Qian Wanduo, wouldn't everyone think he was inferior to Qian Wanduo?
Ma Bai began to ponder how to make up the other five billion.
Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and the President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce walked in from outside.
As soon as they saw the President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce personally arrive, Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo quickly got up to greet him.
Although they were the richest men in the capital, they were all businessmen. They were all managed by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. Maintaining a good relationship with the President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce was naturally beneficial.
The President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce did not put on airs and began to exchange pleasantries with Ma Bai and Qian Wanduo.
The three of them chatted happily!
