To be honest, Haoyuan really didn't take Lin Yumeng seriously. When he decided to take over Tenggui City, he already regarded Chu Zhentian as his first target. Other businessmen followed suit, or in other words , those people took the initiative to jump into his pit.
One of the strategies of using war to support war is to swallow up the forces around the main enemy that can be used by him to strengthen himself. As soon as he came up, he disabled most of the merchants in Tenggui City, and then focused on dealing with Chu Zhentian.
He knew that using skills in front of Chu Zhentian was of little use, so he just started a price war straightforwardly.
Because Chu Zhentian was in a defensive posture, he didn't know which area he was going to attack, so his situation was indeed a bit passive.
Of course, the most important thing is that he used his reserves in order to help Shennong Company. It was like a war. A friendly army was beaten, and he spent all his money to support it, but later found out that the enemy really wanted to beat him.
There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom that kindness does not govern soldiers, and justice does not manage finances. Chu Zhentian's business methods are no worse than Hao Yuan's. The only shortcoming is that he is generous with money and lacks Hao Yuan's ruthlessness.
Even though he was already stretched thin, he still didn't reveal the difficulty to Lin Yumeng, let alone ask Shennong Company to pay back his money.
Chu Zhentian was even forced to shrink his business, leaving only the core industries of the Chu Group. He hoped that his concession would allow Hao Yuan to stop as soon as he saw fit.
But Haoyuan was like a mad dog. Once he saw someone running away, he would immediately chase after him desperately and would not stop until he bit the person to death. The Chu Group was forced to sell some of its properties, and the Haotian Group immediately purchased them at a low price.
The Internet was full of good news about Haotian Group. Some shameless scholars even began to praise Haoyuan, saying that he was the greatest businessman of this era. Those investors held bank cards and blocked the door of Haoyuan's office, demanding. Inject capital into Haotian Group.
In just a few days, Chu Zhentian seemed to have aged a lot. Of course, the external troubles were not fatal. What was fatal was the doubts of the board of directors and investors. Chu Zhentian was discussing borrowing money with the president of a bank outside. question.
Originally, according to the conditions, the president would not lend him a loan. He decided to lend him 2 billion out of personal friendship. The president lent it to Chu Zhentian at the risk of getting into trouble.
If it was not a last resort, Chu Zhentian would never let his friends take risks, but he has no choice now, because the Chu Group has tens of thousands of employees, and tens of thousands of employees represent tens of thousands of families.
Once the Chu Group collapses, these employees will lose their only source of income, and Chu Zhentian cannot imagine the negative impact it will have, but he has no idea whether he can turn around with these two billion.
He told the president with tears in his eyes: "Even if you lend me two billion, the chance of me turning over is very low. Once I am knocked down, the two billion hole will definitely not be closed. By then, we will easily If it means going to jail, or in the worst case, going to jail, you have to think carefully, do you want to take this risk?"
This bank president’s name is Li Mi. It can be said that Chu Zhentian single-handedly supported him. When he met Chu Zhentian, he was just the lobby manager of a branch. It was Chu Zhentian who decided to transfer the Chu Group’s account to him. The company made him prosperous, and he gradually ascended to the position of president.
"Brother Chu, as long as you don't give up, I will support you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Even if I really take the shot, I will accept it. I believe that Ji people have their own destiny." President Li Mi said. Holding Chu Zhentian's hand, he said very emotionally.
Chu Zhentian also had tears in his eyes: "Li Mi, the responsibility on me is too heavy and I can't give up. If I can get through the difficulties, in the future..."
"Brother Chu, stop talking. I will make arrangements right away. After all, two billion is not a small amount. I have to make it comply with the rules and procedures."
"If we fail, let's be brothers in the next life." Chu Zhentian choked up and said these words.
Li Mi said nothing, wiped away tears and turned to leave.
Borrowing two billion didn't make Chu Zhentian feel any lighter. Instead, it made him feel heavier because he was carrying the wealth and life of a brother.
At this moment, the phone rang. Chu Zhentian looked at the phone number and his face suddenly became very gloomy. After hesitating for a long time, he finally answered the call.
