Tie Zhu reached out and pushed open the glass door, and the scene in the hotel lobby appeared in front of the three people.
I saw a dozen people sitting in the room.
These people were divided into two sides. On one side was the frowning Manager Liu.
On the other side were seven or eight strong men.
One of them, a vicious man with a sinister face, was pointing at Manager Liu and spitting out fragrance.
The sound of the door opening startled everyone, and they all turned to look at the door.
The vicious man turned his head and said angrily, "What are you doing? Didn't you see it's closing time?"
Manager Liu also saw Zhang Jiaqiang, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his depressed expression instantly turned to hope.
Zhang Jiaqiang took half a step forward and said loudly, "It doesn't matter if it's closed. We've been hungry for half the night, so we don't mind filling our stomachs with some cold food."
Before the vicious man could say anything, Manager Liu stood up in a hurry and said, "Yes, yes, I will arrange for someone to heat up food for you right away. Please take a seat!"
Zhang Jiaqiang exchanged glances with him, and took Tiezhu Lao Guo to find a table that was out of the way and sit down.
The vicious man wanted to say something to stop him, but when he saw the tower-like figures of Tiezhu and Guo Yonggang, he immediately choked up and took a long time to speak.
"You eat what you have and just mind your own business. We don't offend the river!"
Zhang Jiaqiang rolled his eyes and said, "I'm free!"
Manager Liu also pretended not to know him and hurriedly arranged for his cook to get food.
The vicious man sat back down again, tapping his knuckles on the table in front of him.
"Liu, please don't skip the toast and be fined with wine. It's been a month since the half-month deadline was agreed upon. If you don't pay back the money, I will take over your house!"
Manager Liu seemed to be returning the favor and his tone became tougher.
"I just borrowed money from you temporarily in order to cross the bridge, but I didn't say that I would use my house as collateral. You were deliberately setting a trap for me. Today we have to talk it over, otherwise I, Liu Guangming, will not be a good person." Provoked!"
The vicious man slapped the table and was about to explode when Zhang Jiaqiang suddenly interrupted from afar.
"Everyone, I don't want to be nosy, but I'm just curious to ask something. What does crossing a bridge mean? Is it a bridge over a river?"
This is indeed not nosy, and it is not easy for a bad guy to get angry, but the anger is boiling on his face, and he is on the verge of an attack.
Liu Guangming explained patiently.
"Crossing the bridge means that when you need funds urgently, you find someone to borrow money temporarily, which is a short-term loan. This time, I had a mortgage loan before, but when it expired, I planned to take a temporary loan, redeem the house, and then renew the long-term loan. During this period, I received a bridge payment, but the house was redeemed, but the follow-up loan was no longer available. This creditor came to collect the debt and planned to take away the house!"
The vicious man glared and said, "Liu Guangming, why are you telling him so carefully? Do you plan to ask him to pay off your debt? Stop talking nonsense. I don't have time to argue with you. Whether I will give you a house or not is just a word!" "
Zhang Jiaqiang, who had experienced various complicated tricks thirty years later, immediately understood that Liu Guangming was being tricked by others.
He was in urgent need of money, but the house was still under mortgage, and at the end of the repayment period, he only needed a small amount of funds to redeem it. On the other hand, the lender promised that he could get a large loan as long as the house was redeemed and mortgaged.
At this time, he borrowed a bridge loan, but the family that originally promised the loan had no news and forced him to reach the bridge deadline.
This routine killed a lot of people back then, and allowed those moneylenders to make a lot of profits with their small fortunes.
When Liu Guangming faced the evil man's questioning, his face suddenly turned ugly. He stretched out three fingers with difficulty.
"Three days, give me three more days, if you don't pay by then, the house will be yours!"
The vicious man sneered, "Liu Guangming, listen carefully, the deadline I give you is before dawn. As long as you see a trace of sunlight, you will get out of here and the house belongs to me!"
Before Liu Guangming could speak, Zhang Jiaqiang interrupted again.
"I'm not meddling, I'm just curious, how much is the mortgage for this house, and how much is the bridge loan?"
Isn’t this considered nosy?
The vicious man couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and shouted angrily, "What's your business? Eat your food and leave as soon as possible. Are you planning to help him pay it back?"
The reason why Zhang Jiaqiang is nosy is that he can't stand this kind of drinking blood. Secondly, he and Liu Guangming are also friends. If he doesn't have much money, he can help him with his urgent needs.
He immediately pretended to be guilty and said, "Well, how do you say this? I met him by chance and have no such friendship. Besides, even if I plan to pay it back for him, I don't have any Chinese coins with me!"
The vicious man laughed loudly and said, "If you don't have money, just say you have no money. You don't have Chinese coins yet. It sounds like you have a beautiful knife on you. If you really do, I will exchange it with you at yesterday's exchange rate plus 20%!"
U.S. knives are indeed in short supply these days, and there are many people who want to exchange them for a higher price, and some even want to exchange them for a 50% increase.
Of course, Zhang Jiaqiang does not intend to waste the beautiful sword in his hand. He will have great use in the future, but the pounds and Hong Kong dollars are of little use for the time being.
He immediately pretended to be shy and said, "Beautiful, beautiful swords, who has them, but Hong Kong dollars and pounds are a bit more!"
The vicious man sneered, "Stop bragging. I will accept as much foreign exchange as you have. Do you really plan to help him pay back the money?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "I'm just curious, how much principal did he lend you, and how much did he have to pay back with interest?"
Liu Guangming knew that Zhang Jiaqiang was rich, and he immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and shouted hurriedly.
"I lent him 90,000 yuan, and now he wants me to pay back 130,000 yuan. My house is worth more than 500,000 yuan. What's the difference between this and robbery?"
His building has three floors and is a shop fronting the street. He didn't lie when he said it was worth half a million.
The vicious man roared angrily, "Liu Guangming, it's a rule in the industry to leave at nine and return at thirteen. I explained it to you when I borrowed the money. It's too late to regret it now!"
Following the man's roar, the seven or eight men stood up and surrounded Liu Guangming.
Liu Guangming's cooks and waiters were so frightened that their expressions changed, and none of them dared to speak in anger.
At this moment, Liu Guangming became stubborn and suddenly grabbed the real estate certificate on the table, trying to tear it apart.
"Today I tear it apart, even if I jump into the river, it won't fall into your hands!"
The ferocious man sneered, "No one can escape under my nose. Even if you die, I still don't know your home? Then you will have to pay back the money for selling iron!"
Liu Guangming thought of his family, wife and children, his face suddenly turned pale, and his anger was completely relieved.
He turned to look at Zhang Jiaqiang, pleading in his tone.
"Director Zhang, we have known each other and we can be considered friends. Please help me tide over the difficulties today. This house belongs to you!"
There is no point in asking for this house for him, but it does provide a place to stay here, which will facilitate subsequent operations. Besides, it is not difficult to help him, it is just a matter of effort.
Zhang Jiaqiang said in a deep voice, "130,000, I'll pay it back for him!"
