Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Chen Guihua’s Idea_1

Late at night, the Luo Family Villa.

Old Lady Luo and Luo Yuantu, along with others, were all seated in the living room, shaking their heads and sighing, their expressions indescribably dejected.

A day had passed, with just two days remaining until the final deadline set by Tao Pinggui.

"Mom, several project managers called the company today, informing us that our collaborations have been canceled."

Luo Yuantu hung his head, speaking helplessly, "The banks are saying we have bad debts, they won’t approve any loans for us."

Luo Xuanran added, "Following Grandma’s instructions, Zi Tong and I went to several construction companies today, and none of them were interested in acquiring Luo Group..."

"Misfortune! Such misfortune!"

Old Lady Luo stomped her foot, her eyes filled with despair.

Tao Pinggui only gave her three days to raise five billion, where was she supposed to find so much money.

"Grandma, why don’t we run away?"

Luo Xuanran lifted his head, looking towards the old lady, "With such a short time frame, we simply can’t raise that amount of money. We might as well take this opportunity to flee Jiangling City, and it would be best to live abroad."

"Abroad? You make it sound so easy, but what about the money?"

The old lady replied with a bitter smile, "As soon as Tao Pinggui spoke, he had finance withdraw all the funds originally injected into Luo Group. Now, our Luo Group’s accounts have only debts, no savings!"

"Speaking of money..."

Her voice trailed off as she turned to her granddaughter, "The only money left is the ten million that Tao Pinggui gave to Zi Tong."

"Grandma, I gave the money to mother."

Luo Zitong quickly passed the blame, "As soon as Tao Pinggui handed the card over to me, my mom took it."

"Hmm?"

Old Lady Luo frowned, turning to her daughter-in-law, "Guihua, is the money with you?"

Chen Guihua glared at her daughter, How could you be so foolish? Couldn’t you have said it was all spent?

She forced a laugh, responding, "Mom, it’s true that Zi Tong’s card is with me, but we did spend quite a bit of money recently on cosmetics, jewelry, and clothes. Now, there’s not much left on the card."

Old Lady Luo demanded coldly, "Stop with that nonsense, just tell me how much money is on the card now!"

"About 4.8 million."

Chen Guihua, facing Old Lady Luo’s years of authority, could only tell the truth, "When converted into foreign currency, it’s not even 800,000 dollars. Considering all five of us, including you, and with Yuantu needing treatment for his illness, this amount of money is practically useless."

This statement wasn’t far from the truth. The Luo family, including Old Lady Luo and Luo Yuantu, were accustomed to lavish spending. If they chose this moment to flee abroad for refuge, between buying a house and covering living expenses, a mere 800,000 dollars would not last them for several years.

Moreover, Luo Xuanran and Luo Zitong’s language skills were lacking during their school years, which had only worsened since then. As for Old Lady Luo and Luo Yuantu, they could barely comprehend a few foreign words like "yes" and "okay."

Without hiring a professional translator or a housekeeper, they had no way of living abroad.

But all of this required money, and 800,000 dollars would obviously not be enough.

For a moment, everyone in the villa looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Should we, maybe, borrow some money from Shan Chuan?"

It was ultimately Luo Yuantu who broke the silence, "His family has moved into a Bory One Villa. Didn’t Zi Tong say last time that Mo Han was bidding tens of millions at the auction? This guy must have made a lot of money from those wealthy families by reading feng shui."

"Shall we try asking Shan Chuan for a loan?"

Luo Xuanran shook his head, "Dad, it’s impossible! Mo Han’s family hates us to death now. How could they possibly lend us any money?"

"Moreover, Tao Pinggui told me that Mo Han probably doesn’t have that much money on hand. He must have been bidding for someone else at the time, purposely provoking Tao Pinggui."

"Besides, if Mo Han really had money, why would he let Luo Ning drive that busted Porsche?"

"Most importantly, it’s Yang Meifeng’s character. Even if her family really had the money, they would absolutely not lend it to us. She would rather relish in our misfortune."

At that, the lounge fell silent again. The members of the Luo family, of course, knew Yang Meifeng’s personality and temper. With the Luo Group in decline, she was certainly not going to extend a helping hand but would rather kick them while they were down.

"So what do we do?"

Luo Xuanran asked in frustration, "Neither fleeing nor staying is a solution. What should we do!"

"Xuanran, don’t panic just yet!"

Chen Guihua narrowed her eyes and approached, "Yang Meifeng is nothing but a greedy, uneducated person. I have a good idea!"

"We might be able to pry the money out of her!"

Old Lady Luo perked up, "Really? Do you have a plan?"

"Fishing! We use Luo Group as bait!"

Chen Guihua spoke with gravity, "Tao Pinggui abruptly cut off funding for Luo Group, and not many outsiders know about it. Yang Meifeng is likely unaware as well."

"We can exploit this information to create a sense of urgency!"

"Tomorrow, I’ll take the project proposal and meet with Yang Meifeng to discuss. I’ll tell her that Luo Group urgently needs development but lacks the funds, as the bank loans haven’t come through and we need fixed assets for collateral."

"It so happens I know a sister at a private bank who can back me up."

"As long as Yang Meifeng agrees to mortgage the property deed of her Bory One Villa for one month, we’ll give her a commission. Of course, this fee can’t be too small, or she won’t agree to it."

Old Lady Luo furrowed her brows and said, "Your plan isn’t feasible, is it?"

"Yang Meifeng wouldn’t be foolish enough to mortgage off a property worth hundreds of millions."

"Mom, that’s because you don’t know her well enough."

Chen Guihua confidently retorted, "No matter how luxurious Yang Meifeng’s mansion may be, she probably doesn’t have much cash on hand. She only dares to play mahjong with a 20-dollar stake, nothing more."

"But for just one month, if I offer her a significant commission, she will surely be tempted."

Old Lady Luo touched her forehead, pondered for a moment, then asked in a serious tone, "How much of a commission are you planning to give her?"

A crafty glint flashed in Chen Guihua’s eyes as she replied, "Four million five hundred thousand!"
