"In total, we lost more than 50 million yuan, and about 18 million dollars borrowed from other banks...... Jon quoted a figure.

"You can really lose money! Even if you sell all these properties, it should be a lot short, right? If you sell the bank building, it will probably be about the same, but your parents' bank will be gone." Haven't you considered selling some shares? Aren't you just engaged in financing, can't you save yourself once?" Hong Tao still has a question that he hasn't figured out, why didn't this Jon sell some bank shares to save his own property? Although he can't have the final say in the future, it's better than nothing. Besides, this bank has been around for a long time, so it can't be without credit and value.

"I've mortgaged that building to a British friend who invested with me......" Jon tried to grab his wine glass again, only to be held down by Hong Tao.

"Your heart is so wide! At this time, you still call him a friend, and they will bankrupt you!" Hong Tao probably understands why this Jon went to invest in Iraq with a black heart, and he is not afraid that there will be no good people, especially if this bad person happens to be your friend, this is even more fucked.

"I don't blame them, my father said that if you have a devil in your heart, the devil will come to you. Now I just want to keep my parents' old house, then find a job, and find a girl who really likes me, and accompany me and Joseph to live the rest of our lives. "Jon's little arm is definitely not as strong as Hong Tao's, and he can't hold the wine glass.

"Well, you really shouldn't blame anyone else, flies don't bite seamless eggs. But you don't have to be so pessimistic, you say I'm willing to buy a stake in your bank. Inject you with capital, can you restore the bank to its original condition?" Jon's words gave Hong Tao basic confidence in him.

If a person can recognize his mistakes and not blame the world, he can still be saved. And he just said that he doesn't just have to live by himself. He also has to take care of his father's old friend, the bank manager Joseph who made him a bad fool or something. This shows that this person still has a basic sense of responsibility, although Hong Tao is not a good person, but he likes good people, and he does not want to see good people unlucky.

“…… Why are you willing to invest in me?Is there still value in investing in a loser?" Jon was not moved by Hong Tao's words, and stared at Hong Tao with his rabbit-like eyes for a long time. As a result, I still didn't understand why this Oriental man was so light and lent a hand, which is not logical.

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. I just want to use your family's bank resources, and I may have some business related to banks in the future. As for why you, the reason is complicated. First of all, your boat is well designed, I like it. And then I am also interested in your real estate, but I can't manage it after I bought it, so it's better to let you help me look at it first, that's probably what it means, are you interested in working hard for a few more years?" Hong Tao was telling the truth, he was indeed planning to take advantage of this Jon, and he did fancy a few properties. However, sometimes telling the truth doesn't make others believe it, so it doesn't matter what you say.

"I do, but I'm going to go back and ask Joseph if I can't accede to your request now. Can you wait for me for a few days...... Just a week......" Jon showed a little excitement at this time, anyway, the family industry also let him lose everything, now give him a chance to turn the book, who wouldn't be happy. However, he once again proved Hong Tao's confidence in him, this time he didn't agree, and actually knew to ask the more experienced old manager.

"Yes. Here is my contact information, you can call me anytime if you think about it. There's no need to rush. Think it carefully and don't get too greedy. It's going to wear down my patience. I don't like to talk about one thing, so when we meet again, you and Joseph would do well to give me a reasonable distribution, which will be beneficial to both of us. Okay, I'm going to see my ship, so you better leave first, I don't really like to fiddle with what belongs to him in front of the previous master, it will make me feel guilty......" Hong Tao saw Jon bite his big cake, and immediately frowned.

"I'll buy it back sooner or later...... No, that's not appropriate, I'll design a better one, thank you!" Jon didn't feel embarrassed this time, but was happy, turned his head to look at the sailboat on the dock again, turned and walked away, much brisker than when he first arrived.

"Phil, he should be your friend too, what do you think of him?" Phil and Eliza had already completed the formalities and had been sitting in the seats not far away drinking coffee and chatting, Hong Tao watched Jon leave, went straight to their table and sat down, and asked Phil a question.

"I'm not friends with him, I'm friends with his father. Jon I knew him when I was very young, but unfortunately I couldn't help him, and overall, he was a good boy, just a little too anxious. Phil's evaluation of Jon was at least not low, similar to Hong Tao's feelings.

"You're a doctor, not a businessman, but I'd rather hear your opinion, if I help Jon through this crisis, do you think it's a big risk?" Hong Tao also wanted to hear Phil's opinion, although he is not a businessman, but the profession of a doctor requires a lot of integrity, Hong Tao would rather believe the words of a doctor than Bill Gates.

"That's not a small amount...... If you want, I would also like to see Jon not lose his parents' business, in fact you should go and meet Joseph, after you have met him, you don't need me to judge, he is a natural banker, he will not let Jon take these risks if he doesn't keep his word too much. Phil was very cautious in his words, he refused to judge others lightly, and although his words did not have any legal effect, he was still very careful.

"Well, I see, thank you for your help, and I sincerely invite you to visit my home, right here at Seal Rock in Santa Cruz. I have made a very good Chinese food, you will definitely remember it after eating it, and I will be even happier if you can come with Ms. Caroline. Hong Tao likes this doctor very much, he is a cautious person, very in line with the profession of a doctor, Hong Tao is willing to maintain a good relationship with him, who dares to guarantee that he will not be sick in his life? It should be a good thing to have a doctor friend with a good character, even if he is a psychiatrist.

"Oh, I know that manor, beautiful place, so you bought it there. Okay, I'll definitely go to your place with Caroline Jianyì, I'm a person who likes food very much, and I can't help this temptation......" Phil is very easy-going about topics that have nothing to do with his profession, and he makes a saliva swallowing motion while talking, very interesting person.

"Then let's go get ready, I'm going to drive this ship back to Seal Rock and see if it's a good ship by the way. Hong Tao stood up and stretched out his right hand to Phil, shook it vigorously, and then said goodbye to the doctor, and walked with Eliza to the docks.

With Jon's chance encounter, Hong Tao has given up the original idea of buying the swamp. Now he's a little tight-cashed, and if he does make a deal with Jon, he will have to invest a small $20 million investment. Although it is not a one-time injection, it is not a small amount of money of 1.8 million, which is basically equal to all the funds he can mobilize now, fortunately, he doesn't have to move the stocks in the stock market that are laying golden eggs, otherwise Hong Tao will really have a liver pain.

"You want to rely on the two of us to drive it back, why are you in such a hurry?" Eliza didn't quite understand Hong Tao's decision.

"Alas...... I just made another investment for us, and the amount is a bit large, so I can save the plane ticket. Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to sail back in a sailboat? Not only can we try its performance, but we can also spend a few wonderful days on board, don't you want to? Or maybe you used to brag to me that you wouldn't be able to sail this kind of galleon on your own?" Hong Tao put his arms around Eliza and walked up the ladder to the sailboat, and began to tempt Eliza again. The cost of the airfare is nonsense, it costs more to drive the sailboat back than to fly back, and the money for refueling and towing the boat ashore alone is enough to fly several round trips.

“…… Okay, let's start our training today, you go to someone tug, I'll check what equipment it needs to be replaced, I don't want to capsize the boat a second time. "If Eliza is tempted by Hong Tao again, it is a wonderful thing to be able to fly on a sailboat with the person she likes.

"Yes, Captain!" Hong Tao immediately stood up and saluted, trotted all the way down the ladder, and ran towards the hall of the club, where there was a service desk.

Unlike a 7 or 8-meter-long sailboat, this nearly 18-meter-long big guy can top 5 crazy rats, and it took an hour just to drag it from the shore into the water, and then Hong Tao began to regret his decision. Eliza was so ruthless that she didn't let someone she hired to clean the deck, so she forced herself to strip naked and wear only a pair of shorts, and then lay on the deck and wipe it foot by foot. She was idle, and only instructed the employees of the clubs to bring in and put away the necessary provisions, and then cleaned the cabin, and changed the oil and sail lines, and did not use her hands.

Now Hong Tao knows what life the sailors in the movie are like, and he hates those seabirds even more. The feces they pull are very corrosive, and it is very difficult to clean up after falling on the deck to dry, and even if it is entangled, it will leave a faint scar, which cannot be wiped off.

The sun in the sky also became one of the objects of Hong Tao's curse, and although Eliza very gently helped him to coat his whole body with sunscreen, Hong Tao did not show any gratitude. Every time he made an excuse to sneak back into the bridge to hide in the shade, Elisa would blast him out and continue to be exposed to the sun, saying that an hour in the sun was equivalent to eating an egg, and Hong Tao felt that he would not have to eat eggs again for the rest of his life.
