Chapter 399: Raising Money
However, Li Chao's acoustics are very good, and the characteristics of the other party are perfectly expressed, so the accounting staff on the side have to encounter sonic attacks when they are working.
Hutchison's staff worked all morning, and there was no car to enter the villa again, and when the accountants finished their work, the total amount of banknotes on the scene was determined.
489,673,228 dollars and five cents.
Li Chaoren took the summary sheet of the staff, then walked downstairs and motioned for everyone to box the money.
"What can be raised today has been raised, there are only so many, I have emptied all the old banknotes of thirteen banks, and I should be able to make up hundreds of millions tomorrow, but this is already the limit, I estimate that even if I raise again, I can only make up a billion at most in a short period of time."
"There's a lot of cash in the bank, but I'm sure you won't want to ...... the new banknotes."
Li Chaoren was about to talk to the other party amicably, but Zhang Ziqiang directly interrupted what the other party was going to say next.
"Only thirteen banks have been emptied, so continue to the fourteenth, fifteenth, is there still a shortage of banks on Hong Kong Island?"
Zhang Zi waved his hand angrily, not satisfied in his heart, he had said in front of his subordinates that if he wanted to earn two billion on this trip, he must bring back two billion.
Li Chaoren rubbed his swollen eyebrows and continued to explain patiently to the other party.
"I don't lack time, don't say two billion, even if it's three billion, as long as I give me time, I can raise it, but you're different."
"I promised you not to call the police before, but with such a big move as Hutchison, whether it is the police or the citizens of Hong Kong Island, everyone will pay attention to it."
"I have 500 million in cash left, and I can raise it by tomorrow at the latest, but if I want another billion, it may take me a week."
"Do you think that if things ferment, even if I give you money, such a large amount of money, since you have been in the Hong Kong Island community for two years, then if other people know about it, do you think they will stop at the door of the villa and wait for you."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of Deep Water Bay then."
When Li Chaoren first said it, Zhang Ziqiang's face was still full of disdain, but as he listened, the smile on his face began to disappear, and then his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
From Li Chaoren's words, he felt the sincerity of the other party.
Similarly, as the other party said, the longer the time drags on, as things ferment, two billion Hong Kong dollars is indeed enough for everyone to go crazy.
In case the news really leaks, even if Zhang Ziqiang prepares a large number of weapons, he does not think that he can leave Hong Kong Island smoothly with money.
"Okay, one billion is one billion, but I don't have to wait until tomorrow for the rest of the money, this afternoon, before dinner, I want to see it at the villa, otherwise, you can use the rest of the money to Li Dashao to do the funeral."
Zhang Ziqiang was not short of decisiveness, nodded and agreed.
Li Chaoren hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed, and then he cautiously made a request.
"Can you let me listen to Aze's voice first, I want to make sure if he is safe now."
"As long as you have the money ready, you can meet in the evening, Boss Li, don't worry, we are all trustworthy people."
Zhang Ziqiang didn't bother to perfunctory the other party, he was not stupid, how could he call at such a critical moment, which was likely to expose the hiding address.
However, he also knew the other party's worries, so he said more.
"Boss Li, you have so much energy, I naturally know how to measure, we only seek wealth on this trip."
Li Chaoren's expression was solemn, but his heart was a lot calmer, so after thinking about it, he spoke again.
"The 38 million Hong Kong dollars I prepared before should be regarded as a meeting gift for you, not included in the billion ransom."
Seeing that Li Chaoren took the initiative to show favor, Zhang Ziqiang agreed without hesitation.
Don't let the money of a big dog be in vain.
"Boss Li, remember, don't call the police, I'm going to the foot of the mountain to eat a pig's knuckle rice now, take a walk by the way, I hope that when you come back, you can give me the money ready."
After saying that, he walked outside, directly picked up a string of car keys where the security guard had put them, opened the car door and sat down.
The security guard who was in charge of delivering the money saw that the other party had taken away his car keys, and hurriedly got up to stop the other party, but Li Chaoren waved his hand and signaled the other party not to go over.
Zhang Ziqiang opened the car window, glanced at the security guard with a flushed face proudly, and drove out of the villa triumphantly.
Li Chaoren was silent for a moment, thought about it carefully, and turned to the housekeeper on the side: "Help me go and ask Mr. Chen, the president of Bridge Bank, to come over." ”
At present, he still lacks a cash gap of more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the people who can quickly mobilize so many people who are not connected to the number of cash, although it is not a small number on Hong Kong Island, but it is close and the most capable, naturally it is none other than Chen Tianqiao, after all, the other party has a bank under him.
However, after walking a few more steps, Li Chaoren called out to the housekeeper who had already walked to the door.
"I'd better visit it myself."
Today, Chen Tianqiao happened to be in his villa, and he was very enthusiastic about Li Chaoren's visit.
Hong Kong Island is so big, and the circle of rich people is even smaller.
What's more, one of the two is a bank, belonging to a financial celebrity, and the other is doing real estate, which is precisely the bank's favorite customer.
In fact, a lot of the money that Hutchison used to acquire land was borrowed from Daqiao Bank.
The two exchanged a few words, and Li Chaoren, who was still full of worries, went straight to the point.
"Chen Sheng, my son has been kidnapped and needs your help."
For Li Chaoren's straightforward words, Chen Tianqiao was unexpectedly not surprised.
In fact, Li Chaoren's villa was lively all morning, and Huang's movement was so big, Chen Tianqiao lived next door to the other party, even if he didn't go out today, he had actually received several phone calls.
The first is the notice from the security team of the villa area.
You must know that when Zhang Ziqiang entered the villa area, he was strapped to a bomb, and the security team in the villa area needs to be responsible for all the residents of Deep Water Bay.
They gave Li Chaoren face and let the other party enter the villa area, but they also needed to inform the other residents in the villa area.
In addition, Li Chaoren emptied more than a dozen banks in a row, and as long as there were old banknotes that were not serialized, there were outlets of Daqiao Bank.
As the chairman of Daqiao Bank, Chen Tianqiao naturally received a report from his company's subordinates.
So when Li Chaoren came to the door, he actually guessed everything.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao's expression was very calm, and he was even in the mood to cut open the cigar he was already holding in his hand, light it and take a breath, and then naturally spoke.
"How much do the kidnappers cost?"
"He asked for two billion, but I told him that he could only make one billion in a short period of time, and he agreed."
