567 Chapter 567 borrowing money
~~
“But, to enter and exit the Tian Yuan continent requires at least eight hundred million Shadow Gold. Where are we going to get that kind of money?” He looked at Xu Qing firmly. you mean to sell the territory to Lingyu? ”
“That’s right, you can also mortgage it to Lingyu first and borrow it from him!” Xu Qing smiled faintly. although Lingyu has been in contact with ye chen, they’ve only traded a few doctrine artifacts. Their relationship is definitely not that deep. We’ll use our territory as collateral, so there’s no problem with borrowing money from Lingyu. At most, we’ll just pay him some interest! When we intercept ye Chen’s money, we can immediately return the money and make a big profit.”
!!
Yi Yan frowned and pondered. He felt a little uneasy, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem to be a problem. He had sent a spirit Xuan expert to the eastern continent but was unexpectedly intercepted and killed. After some thought, ye chen felt that it would not be a problem to hire one or two Spirit Xuan fighters with his wealth. If he and Xu Qing went together, with two Dao profound levels, could there still be any problems?
“Are you sure that kid ye chen really has 3.5 billion?”
“I’m sure,” Xu Qing nodded with certainty.
“Alright then, we’ll do it this time!” Yi Yan said in a deep voice, throwing caution to the wind. First, they had lost 90 million during the auction, and then they had lost nearly 300 million Shadow Gold when they sent their subordinates to the eastern continent. This had already completely drained Yi Yan and Xu Qing’s liquid funds. If it weren’t for the rich daily income of the tavern and the territory, Yi Yan and Xu Qing would probably not have been able to support themselves. If he could successfully intercept ye Chen’s 3.5 billion Twilight Gold, he would not be as embarrassed as he was now.
alright, I’ll contact Lingyu. I’m fine with using my territory as collateral! Xu Qing licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.
“Let’s each borrow 400 million Shadow Gold. I’m Emperor Lin’s disciple, so Lingyu would at least try to save some face and wouldn’t dare to slander me!” Yi Yan said confidently with his hands behind his back.
why don’t we just borrow one billion each and bring more people out to see what’s going on outside? ” Xu Qing said. They knew nothing about the situation in the eastern continent, so it was better to take precautions. It would be safer to take one or two more people with them.
Even if they had borrowed two billion pieces of Twilight Gold, as long as they could intercept the 3.5 billion pieces of Twilight Gold in ye Chen’s hands, they would not lose out!
After Yi Yan and Xu Qing discussed and confirmed it, they sent someone to invite Ling Yu over.
Ling Yu walked into Yi Yan’s Bar slowly. When he saw Yi Yan and Xu Qing, Ling Yu smiled until his eyes were squinted. There was an indescribable amiability that made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. He smiled and said, ” “Brother Yi Yan, brother Xu Qing, we meet again. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Haha, brother Lingyu is too polite.” Yi Yan cupped his hands with a smile.
“Brother Lingyu, please take a seat!” Xu Qing said enthusiastically, his right hand making a gesture of invitation.
Ling Yu flicked the hem of his clothes and sat down quietly. He quickly got someone to bring tea over.
“Yes, good tea.” Ling Yu picked up the cup of tea, took a whiff of its fragrance, and took a sip. Then, he casually said, ” “I wonder why Brother Yi Yan and brother Xu Qing have called me over?”
Yi Yan and Xu Qing looked at each other with a bitter smile.
“AI, it’s a long story. I’ll have to trouble brother Ling with some matters today.” Xu Qing sighed and said sincerely.
“Oh? Brother yiyan, brother Xu Qing, there’s no need to be so polite with me. If there’s anything you need, just say it. ” Ling Yu’s gaze swept over Yi Yan and Xu Qing. He picked up his teacup and sipped his tea. A faint sneer flashed across the corners of his mouth. He had already guessed the purpose of Yi Yan and Xu Qing inviting him here. He was the one who had spread the news before. Xu Qing thought that he and ye Chen’s men had been bribed, but in reality, it was also an arrangement by him and ye chen.
Ling Yu waited patiently. It seemed like Yi Yan and Xu Qing were about to take the bait.
it’s like this. In a few days, it will be my sect’s heaven worship ceremony. I’ve taken a fancy to a Dao artifact and want to buy it for my master in order to please him. However, Xuanji is short of money. He paused for a moment, as if he was too embarrassed to speak, and smiled bitterly.
brother yiyan must be joking. With brother yiyan’s business in Yanyun sacred city, how can you not even afford a Dao artifact? ” Ling Yu chuckled, his face full of disbelief.
Yi Yan’s face turned red as he cursed Ling Yu in his heart. Was Ling Yu mocking him? Since he had already spoken, he could only continue to say with a bitter face, ” brother Lingyu, you think too highly of me. Although I’ve been operating in Yanyun sacred city for a long time, it’s still a small place. How can I compare to brother Lingyu? moreover, the Dao artifact that I’ve taken a fancy to is worth 2.5 billion Shadow Gold!
“Oh? 2.5 billion, that’s indeed a little expensive.” Ling Yu raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.
“I gathered all the money I had and borrowed some from brother Xu Qing, but I barely managed to gather 500 million.” Yi Yan spread his hands.
Ling Yu was disdainful in his heart. The people that Yi Yan and Xu Qing sent to the eastern continent were all intercepted and killed by his subordinates. Yi Yan and Xu Qing could still come up with 500 million now? Only a ghost would believe this.
“Brother yiyan’s meaning is that you want to borrow two billion from me?” Ling Yu looked at Yi Yan and frowned. brother Yi Yan, it’s not that I don’t want to help. You know that I just bought so many territories and six doctrine artifacts a few days ago. I don’t have much money now. I have to invest a lot of money before the first batch of Tianyu Saint fruits ripens. I really can’t take out that much money!
Ling Yu was crying about how poor he was, and it was also within his expectations that he would agree to Xu Qing’s request. After all, it was two billion Shadow Gold. Who would lend it just because they wanted to? Even though Ling Yu appeared to be polite on the surface, he was actually on guard against the two of them. From Ling Yu’s words, it seemed that it was true that Ling Yu had bought six doctrine artifacts from ye chen. What they did not know was that Ling Yu was already on ye Chen’s side and was still kept in the dark.
“Brother Lingyu, I naturally won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll only borrow this sum of money for ten days, and I’ll definitely be able to return it after ten days! Could it be that brother Lingyu still doesn’t trust me?” Yi Yan’s expression was serious as he vowed, ” I’ve always been a man of my word.
I naturally trust brother yiyan. It’s just that I really don’t have any money on hand! Ling Yu said innocently, as if he didn’t have any money even if they killed him.
Yi Yan and Xu Qing looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, Xu Qing said, ” “Brother yiyan and I are like brothers, so I must help you with this. How about this, we’ll use half of our land as collateral and borrow two billion Shadow Gold from brother Lingyu. Even if we can’t return it, brother Lingyu can just take the land. What does brother Lingyu think?”
“I really don’t have much money on hand. It’s not that I don’t want to lend it to you, but I really don’t have it.” Ling Yu still had a pitiful look on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, ” if you two brothers really need money, I can help you raise some.
“Then I’ll have to trouble brother Lingyu.” Yi Yan cupped his hands as he cursed in his heart. Would this brat Lingyu really have no money? He would not believe it no matter what!
“It’s just that if Xuanji were to borrow from others, she would have to pay some interest.” Ling Yu smiled awkwardly, as if he was too embarrassed to speak.
Yi Yan and Xu Qing’s hearts were burning with anger. Ling Yu, this brat, had been acting for so long and had finally revealed his true intentions. In the end, he wanted to ask them for interest! However, they had a favor to ask of him, so they could only laugh along.
“Interest is naturally to be paid.” Yi Yan nodded in understanding and asked, ” how much is the interest? ”
“For ten days, the interest will be about 500 million. For twenty days, it will be 1.8 billion. For thirty days, the interest will be 3.7 billion.”
As he heard those numbers, his heart trembled with anger. Ling Yu was clearly looting a burning house!
the loan interest outside is the same. I can’t do anything about it. Ling Yu shrugged helplessly. that’s why I’m afraid half of the land as collateral won’t be enough. We’ll have to use all of the land as collateral!
“All the land as collateral?” Xu Qing was shocked, and his expression was already very ugly.
“Since that’s the case, we won’t trouble brother Lingyu.” Their expressions were ugly. Using half of their land as collateral was already their limit, but Ling Yu actually wanted them to use all their land as collateral!
“Then I’ll take my leave.” Ling Yu stood up and cupped his hands in farewell. He didn’t look unhappy at all and walked out with a smile.
Seeing that Ling Yu had left, Yi Yan slammed the table and shouted, ” f * ck, Lingyu this brat is too black-hearted! A capital of 2 billion, 30 days of interest actually requires 3.7 billion!
“It should take five days to go back and forth from the Dongchuan continent. The interest of 500 million is still acceptable. However, isn’t it a little too cruel to ask us to use all our land as collateral?” Xu Qing said with a frown. According to the normal market, half of their land was worth more than two billion, so it was impossible to mortgage it for two billion Shadow Gold. They could only mortgage all of their land as Lingyu had said to be able to borrow two billion. But what made Yi Yan and Xu Qing angry was that Ling Yu this brat was actually so black-hearted, not giving them any face at all!
“Lingyu, that brat, will definitely be eager for us to not pay up, and then swallow up our land!” Yi Yan said hatefully.
Who could say that Ling Yu didn’t have such thoughts?
Lingyu is a businessman. It’s normal for him to be so evil. It would be strange if he didn’t. Xu Qing snorted. He probably would not have thought that Ling Yu had colluded with ye chen to scheme against them.
In Yi Yan’s and Xu Qing’s minds, even if Ling Yu, a member of a prestigious and powerful family, had come into contact with ye chen, he would never cooperate with a lowly commoner like ye chen.
“Let’s see how it goes first. We have to make sure that ye chen really has 3.5 billion. Otherwise, we’ll lose and we’ll probably lose everything.” Yi Yan said after a moment of silence. This matter had to be done with extreme caution. After all, this concerned all of them. He didn’t know why, but he kept feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
