Chapter 226: Asking for Debts
"Xiaopeng. In the living room, after He Zhilian and Liu Xiaotao served everyone a cup of tea, Lu Kang chose to get straight to the point: "Do you have something to do today?"
The trip to Yue Province more than 20 years ago did not give Lu Kang a good impression. At that time, everyone in the Lu family in the entire Yue Province looked at him with disdain and contempt, and even some people mocked them in a way that seemed to be muttering in a small voice, but the actual voice was so loud that everyone could hear it: "Recently, more and more people have come to our house to ask for food, but I don't know where they came from this time." I don't know what's wrong with people now? Don't you have any face?"
Because of this experience, he has never been to Yue Province since. At the same time, I really don't have a good impression of this group of so-called "rich relatives". Therefore, he was naturally too lazy to be polite.
Lu Peng didn't know if he was dissatisfied with the way Lu Kang called him, or if he had something else on his mind, and his brows instantly furrowed when he heard this. After a while, he turned to show a hint of embarrassment, and after a long while, he sighed lightly and said, "Uncle Cousin, since you asked." Then I'll get straight to the point. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Originally, I shouldn't have come this time. Even if they come, they shouldn't have any other purpose. However, you may not know very well, let's save the Lu family... It's been a little rough lately. ”
The eyelids jumped slightly. Lu Kang and Zhou Hui glanced at each other, and their hearts sank. After taking a sip of the teacup, he slowly said, "Oh? I really don't know. What's going on?
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Lu Peng rubbed his hands and seemed a little embarrassed: "It's just that the current business is not good, and the family has been losing money in the past few years." You know, we have a big business over there, and this loss is not a small amount. After a few years, our family can't hold it anymore. ”
“...”
He was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open. Others may not know it well, but he Lu Kang still doesn't know? Due to Lu Ping's gambling decision, to this day, the Lu family in Yue Province is not only one of the three major oil giants in China, but also the king of iron ore. It is no exaggeration to say that with these two items alone, they are a well-deserved super family in the entire Huaxia, and their strength is second only to the four masters in Beijing.
What's more, after decades of development, their industry is much more than that. The amount of money earned by the Lu family in Yue Province every year is undoubtedly astronomical. Can their family still lose money? And they will lose so much in a few years that they can't stand it? Are you afraid that they will not use me as a cane?
Obviously, things are just as Zhou Hui expected, and the other party is just paving the way for the next words.
Lu Kang's face sank, and he was about to speak. Du Fei suddenly chuckled and said: "But how do I read the news that Luhai Petrochemical just invested 4 billion yuan in Jiayu Technology last month, and is currently negotiating with Changsheng Biotech to buy 12.3% of its shares for 6.7 billion Chinese dollars? ”
Lu Peng turned his head in a voice, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes, which were already narrow and thin because of fat, almost disappeared, making it impossible to see his true thoughts. However, Du Fei could clearly feel a cold chill from it. It's just that before he could speak, Lu Jianping stood up suddenly, and scolded sharply: "Du Fei! Do you still have any rules? When will it be your turn to speak here? Since you know the strength of the Lu family in Yue Province, you should understand how noble Lu Peng's cousin is. Being able to let you sit here and listen to him is already a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes, what kind of presence do you show here? What kind of identity do you have in your heart? You are a door-to-door son-in-law, do you know the rules of a door-to-door son-in-law?"
"On this occasion, it stands to reason that you are not even qualified to sit here. You shouldn't even be on the table when you're eating, let alone interjecting. You don't understand this rule?"
"Yes. Lu Jianchuan also echoed the yin and yang weirdness: "If you don't know, our Lu family is as unruly as you." Uncle, don't you say a word? It's better to get him out quickly, so as not to be embarrassed here. ”
Lu Mingxue's pretty face turned red with anger when she heard this, and she got up to reprimand the two of them. But before he could speak, Lu Peng had already taken the lead to dissuade him: "Hey, cousin." Everyone is a relative, which is a bit too much. ”
After saying an understatement, Lu Peng turned his head with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, that's right." But have you thought about it, it is precisely because our family's previous business did not make money that we have to find another way out. ”
After a pause, he sighed and said, "Besides, the news will only tell you how much money our Lu family spent, not where the money came from." However, I can tell you that in order to invest in Jiayu Technology, our Lu family mortgaged all the houses. Now, in order to raise money, none of my brothers and sisters are staying at home, they are all out trying to find a way!"
withdrew his gaze from the Lu Jianping brothers who were constantly making provocations at him. Du Fei said lightly: "It sounds like that's the reason. ”
"If only you could understand. Lu Peng first smiled and nodded, and then showed hesitation, as if he had been entangled and struggling for a long time, but he was really forced to be helpless, so he gritted his teeth and said: "So, cousin, the purpose of my coming today is to go back to the fifty houses that your father owed my grandmother back then." ”
Sure enough, it's for this.
Lu Kang's face sank, and he was about to speak, but Zhou Hui, who was beside him, slapped the table hard, got up and refuted: "What does my father-in-law owe you fifty houses for your grandmother? Did you borrow the money? Your grandfather gave it to us. It's just that your grandmother is a scoundrel and forced my father-in-law to turn this money into our family to borrow from you. ”
When it comes to money, Zhou Hui is absolutely unyielding. She stared at Lu Peng with her eyes, and there was a strong anger in her eyes: "Later, your grandmother passed away, and my father-in-law came to the door in person, and your grandfather heard about it and said it himself." It was my father-in-law who was unwilling to take advantage of your Lu family in Yue Province, and insisted on paying it back. It's only been 40 years, and our family has given you 10% of our profits every year. Otherwise, why would our family give you money every year?"
"At the beginning, I only took a total of 50,000 yuan from your family, but how much money has my family given you in the past 40 years? The sum up is at least 30 million, right? You are still not satisfied? You still want our family to give you 50 houses? Why don't you rob it?"
Shi Meiying frowned, glanced at Zhou Hui coldly, a trace of obvious disgust flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to say to herself: "An inferior person is an inferior person, and he has no quality at all." ”
"What did you say?" Zhou Hui was furious when she heard this, and she raised her foot and wanted to rush over to teach her a lesson. Lu Kang hurriedly grabbed her, and after warning her with his eyes, he turned around. It's just that he still couldn't say it, and Lu Peng said indifferently: "Auntie, I don't like to hear this." What do you mean by my grandmother forcing you?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bag, showed it in front of everyone, and said, "Could it be that my grandmother forced your father-in-law to write this IOU?
Lu Kang and the others just looked at the piece of paper in his hand from a distance, and their pupils shrank suddenly. The worst I had predicted actually happened. That IOU... Sure enough, it's still there!
Lu Peng's gaze swept over the faces of the people in front of him one by one, the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile, and continued: "As for what you said, my grandfather said that this is okay? I'm sorry, I've never heard my grandfather mention it. Besides, if he had said such a thing, why didn't he return this IOU to you at that time? As for what you said about sending money to our Lu family every year..."
Shi Meiying said with disdain on her face: "Isn't it a matter of course to owe money and repay interest? If it wasn't for our family to lend you money, maybe you would all starve to death." Compared with so many lives of your family, more than 30 million yuan is only worth it?"
"Besides. Do you know how much fifty houses are worth in Shangjing? I won't say how much it will cost you to rent them all out for a year?"
Raising her hand to admire the nail art she had just done today, Shi Meiying's tone was full of sarcasm: "At least 20 million a year, we haven't asked you to make up all the rent for these forty years, it's enough to be benevolent and righteous, don't be dissatisfied." Got it?"
Lu Kang and the others were about to explode when they heard this. Zhou Hui was even more angry and trembling, she pointed at the two of them and shouted angrily: "You Yue Province Lu family is also a famous family with a head and a face, what you said should be a fart, right? I'm going to ask him in person if what he said himself counts?"
With a sneer, Lu Peng said mockingly: "My grandfather passed away fourteen years ago. Do you want to confront him face to face? Then you can go down and find him. ”
"What did you say?" This time, not only Zhou Hui, but Lu Kang and the others were all angry. Doesn't this horse curse people to death?
Du Fei's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Although he doesn't like Zhou Hui, after all, he is his mother-in-law, how can he watch others bully her like this. However, the account can be calculated little by little, anyway, people are here, what is the hurry.
With a general decision in his heart, Du Fei got up and stopped in front of a few people, and said, "Don't be angry yet." Mom and Dad, I'll take care of this. ”
"Du Fei..."
Waving his hand slightly, interrupting Lu Kang's words, Du Fei said lightly: "It's okay." I know what to expect, just watch from the sidelines. ”
With that, he slowly walked to Lu Peng, who had a mocking look on his face. Stretching out his hand, he said, "I'll take a look at that IOU first." ”
Lu Peng only brought a photocopy, and he was not afraid that he would destroy it. So I simply handed it over.
Du Fei took it in his hand and glanced at it quickly. And it reads:
IOU, now there is Lu Aiguo temporarily borrowed 50,000 yuan from Hu Yumei. It is now promised to promise to return 50 buildings of Hu Yumei's real estate in Beijing before the 1st of the month. If it is not repaid within the time limit, all the assets of our Lu Aiguo's family can be handed over to Hu Yumei for disposal. Date, April 1, 1980. Borrower, Lu Aiguo.
After reading it, Du Fei handed it to Lu Kang, who looked at it and then nodded. Confirm that it was indeed his father's handwriting.
"Since the IOU is fine, then let's admit it. ”
"What?" Lu Kang was shocked and anxious when he heard this: "Du Fei..."
"Dad, listen to me. Du Fei waved his hand and said, "It's just a company and a house, plus three cars at most." Anyway, I don't have much money, so I'll do it for you. Let's get the IOU back first. ”
Lu Kang and his wife were stunned when they heard this. But before they had time to react, Lu Peng said again in a mocking tone: "Who told you that's all there is to it?"
