"What? It wasn't enough for him to involve Lee Ji-eun? He wants other won too?" Hearing Su Zhihe's words, the bank executives were also filled with righteous indignation. If they really did this, it would almost be no different than losing their national dignity.
"Representative Su, he's going too far! If this continues, do all the female celebrities from Qingqiu Country have to accompany him?"
"He is threatening us, Representative Su. We absolutely cannot agree to this. If we compromise again, we may never be able to stand up again."
"But have you considered what will happen if we don't et his demands?" Su Zhihe certainly didn't want to compromise with Zhang nglong that easily, but what could he do!
"Forget it, let's just satisfy him. We can't provoke him further right now; otherwise, even if he doesn't co for the money, other citizens could empty our banks in no ti!" Su Zhihe sighed, finally choosing to compromise, "Which company do they belong to?"
"They are with YG. I know the boss of YG. Should I let him know?"
"Go ahead..."
"Representative Su! Representative Su! Good news!" Just when everyone was at their wit's end, an employee hurried over.
"Wait, don't make the call yet," Su Zhihe said, his face also showing a relieved smile, as the negotiations seed to have succeeded this ti.
"What happened?" Su Zhihe asked eagerly.
"Representative Su, those countries are willing to use all their Qingqiu Currency reserves to support us. This money is enough to tide us over this crisis!"
"Hahaha! Great!" It was the first ti in days that Su Zhihe had smiled. Just two days ago, he had predicted this might happen, so he had already sought foreign aid.
As it is known, though Qingqiu Currency is not as strong as the US Dollar, many other countries still hold substantial reserves of it. A single country might not have much, but a group of countries together can account for a significant amount.
"They must have so conditions, right?" Su Zhihe knew there were no free lunches in the world, and this was just an exchange of equal value.
"Their demand is that we need to use our US Dollar reserves to exchange for Qingqiu Currency."
"Really taking advantage of the situation!" Su Zhihe clenched his teeth, "Alright, agree to it! Fortunately, our country has stored a large amount of US Dollars in foreign exchanges over the years. As long as the country's economy doesn't collapse, these reserves can always be replenished."
"Zhang nglong, if you dare, co on, this ti, our bank won't be so easily emptied!" With solid cash support, Su Zhihe's spine straightened up.
...
"What are you dilly-dallying for?" An hour had passed, and Zhang nglong was getting impatient, as the food on the table had been ward up over and over again.
Zhang nglong checked the schedule of Lisa and Liu Ren Na today. Both of them would be in Qiuyuan City for the next two days, and if nothing went wrong, they should have already been here half an hour ago to join him for the al.
"It seems they really don't take my words seriously!" The temperature around Zhang nglong seed to drop instantly.
He dialed Su Zhihe's number, "Representative Su, where are the people I asked for? Are you testing my patience?"
"Zhang nglong, don't go too far!" Zhang nglong didn't expect Su Zhihe's tone to suddenly beco so assertive, "Zhang nglong, don't think just because you control our bank's deposits that you can manipulate Qingqiu Country's economy! I'm telling you, Qingqiu Country's economic strength is such that even if you took all the money, it still wouldn't touch our foundations!"
"Have you lost your mind talking to
like this?" Zhang nglong even doubted whether Su Zhihe had gone crazy, he was terrified just a mont ago, and now he dared to talk in this tone?
"Zhang nglong, if you think you can threaten us with this, let
tell you, no way! Even if you drain all the money from our banks today, even if you use other ans to threaten us, do not expect us to yield. Qingqiu is not a country that begs pitifully!"
Su Zhihe said everything in one breath, his frustrations of the past two days seed to be released in an instant, as if an oppressed worker had suddenly succeeded in starting his own business and stood up all at once.
"Are you serious?" Zhang nglong confird once more.
"Zhang nglong, we people of Qingqiu Country are made of steel! You might be able to threaten us for a mont, but you cannot threaten us for a lifeti!"
"Made of steel?" Zhang nglong burst out laughing, "Do you know there's a famous philosopher in Huaxia who proposed a law? Are you sure you want to challenge it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you're calling
to ask for a woman, sorry, I'm not interested!"
Having said that, Su Zhihe actually hung up the phone.
"Damn it! That bastard hung up on !" Zhang nglong wasn't angry at all; he just found it amusing. He didn't know where Su Zhihe's confidence ca from, but he knew that 'it's only a matter of ti' — it never fails to show up, just may be delayed.
"Mr. Zhang, what happened?" Lee Ji-eun asked curiously, finding Zhang nglong's smirk sowhat eerie.
"Nothing much, let's eat now, and later tonight we'll have dinner with Lisa and Ryu Eun-na," Zhang nglong picked up his chopsticks and started to enjoy what was a luxurious yet vindicating lunch.
"Co shopping with
this afternoon," Zhang nglong said, "You go change your clothes first; Hong Yi should have prepared them for you."
"Yes, okay Mr. Zhang." Lee Ji-eun nodded obediently. After a morning together, she seed to have gotten a better grasp of Zhang nglong's temperant; though sotis unconventional, he certainly wasn't the typical rich second-generation type in people's usual sense.
"Hong Yi, co here for a mont!" Taking advantage of Lee Ji-eun going to change her clothes, Zhang nglong called Hong Yi over.
"Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?" Hong Yi asked.
"How has Su Zhihe suddenly beco so tough? Has he found a big backer?" Zhang nglong inquired.
"Mr. Zhang, according to our intelligence, Su Zhihe has gathered over 30 trillion of Qingqiu Currency from 17 countries, which is sufficient to bring their bank back from the brink," Hong Yi replied.
"Oh, so he found foreign aid," Zhang nglong muttered, "I wonder what kind of idiots are still hoarding such useless Qingqiu Currency; they must have bricks in their heads!"
"Which countries are they?"
"They are so smaller Asian countries."
"Is that so? Can we handle it?" Zhang nglong cared about the outco.
"Of course, with these small countries, if you want to take action, I can offer you a hundred plans, yet they can do nothing about it."
"Your tone is too much like Ye Liangchen's," Zhang nglong couldn't help laughing, "Since that's the case, use the fastest and most effective thod, and give them a good beating! I want to see who dares to help them!"
