Chapter 11: Over a Thousand More?
Page 1/3
Zhang Youqian’s reaction to these words was even more stunned than Manager Wang’s earlier! After all, he was the boss—the ultimate beneficiary! With thousands of people involved, the guaranteed profit was easily in the tens of millions!
“Gulp…”
For a moment, the vast villa echoed with the sound of Zhang Youqian swallowing nervously.
“Boss, are we going to take this deal?” Manager Wang’s hesitant voice came through the phone again.
To handle a business involving thousands of people would require a cash flow of over a hundred million. But… their company had nearly lent all their money to that Tazhai operation, and they hadn’t yet recouped those funds. If they took on this deal, their company would be left without any money at all!
Yet…
This deal could bring in profits exceeding ten million!
Such a juicy opportunity was right in front of them, practically handed over on a silver platter. For both Manager Wang and Zhang Youqian, the temptation was enormous.
Zhang Youqian’s face darkened like still waters. After a moment’s contemplation, he gritted his teeth and decisively said one word: “Take it!”
“Don’t worry about the money. I have a way! Quickly tell them—we’re taking the deal!”
With this assurance, Manager Wang immediately called Lin Wendong back.
“Our boss says we’re taking this deal!”
Lin Wendong was taken aback, uncertainly asking, “Are you taking on a few thousand people or just a few hundred?”
“Bring as many as you have!” Manager Wang patted his chest confidently.

“This…”
Lin Wendong hadn’t expected the other company to be so powerful! Even after having lent over a hundred million to Tazhai, they still had money to spare!
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Youqian patted his bald head and laughed heartily three times.
“Five years ago, a fortune teller told me I would face a calamity this year. Where’s the calamity? Instead, I’m riding a wave of great fortune! Hahaha!”
Suppressing his laughter, Zhang Youqian reached out and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“The money I took from Brother Niu is almost gone, and there’s only a few million left in the account. Where should I get more funds now?”
This problem didn’t trouble him long. Soon, he thought of someone.
“I heard Old Li is making a killing with ‘ice’ over in America, and he’s planning to bring the business into China soon. After all these years dealing with ‘ice,’ he must have money. I’ll bring him in as a partner!”
With that in mind, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
From these two moves, it was clear Zhang Youqian was far more complex than he appeared! Otherwise, he wouldn’t know so many people.
When the call connected, Zhang Youqian’s tone immediately became ingratiating.
“Brother Li, it’s Xiao Zhang.”
After a brief silence, a man with a Hong Kong accent replied, “So many years without contact, and now you suddenly call. What’s the matter this time?”
Zhang Youqian said, “Brother Li, I have a big business opportunity for you!”
“I’m busy lately, no time,” came a gradually impatient voice from the other end.
“Brother Li, I know you’re planning to enter the domestic market soon. I can help with that! Just let me finish…”

Zhang Youqian explained the lending profit in detail.
After hearing it, Brother Li’s tone changed with interest.
“You mean, if we lend out 100,000, we can get back 40,000 to 60,000? Ten million would be four to six million, a hundred million would be…”
He estimated the returns in his mind. Compared to ‘ice,’ the profits were just as impressive!
Hearing the other party’s interest, Zhang Youqian pressed on.
“Brother Li, just lend the money to your little brother here. After we get it back, we’ll split the profits evenly. And…”
He paused briefly, then continued,
“Over the years, I’ve built a network of connections here in China. If you want to bring ‘ice’ into the domestic market, having me on your side will save you a lot of trouble!”
Brother Li pondered for a moment.
“What’s the risk? Can the money really be recovered?”
“Don’t worry, the money will definitely come back! It’s a sure win!” Zhang Youqian patted his chest confidently.
“Alright, I can lend you a hundred million!” Brother Li agreed but added,
“If you mess this up, you know what I’m capable of!”
With Zhang Youqian’s repeated assurances, Brother Li finally felt at ease and hung up.
Shortly after, one of his men approached him.
“Boss, everything’s settled.”
He then produced a photo.
The image showed a Middle Eastern man in a gruesome, lifeless state.
Brother Li snorted coldly.
“Fools who try to steal my business get this as their fate!”
