Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 18 Borrowing money from Liu Yang
After finishing their meal, Xu Mu didn't try to pay the bill with Bai Xue.

For Bai Xue, being able to pay for the meal might make her feel a little better.

"Xiao Mu, it's still early, why don't you come sit at my place for a while?"

Bai Xue still asked, unwilling to give up.

She's not like Zhou Mengting, who feels no guilt about using other people's money.

Her education, her family, and her ideas destined her to be different from Zhou Mengting.

But now she has nowhere else to turn.

"I have something important to do later, just take good care of Auntie."

"You can keep the electric scooter; that way you can get to the hospital quickly if there's an emergency!"

After saying that, Xu Mu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, scanned a shared electric scooter on the roadside and drove off.

Watching Xu Mu ride away on his electric scooter with such style, Bai Xue pursed her lips, unable to hold back her tears.

Because in this real world, she felt respected by Xu Mu.

And there's no need for any more concern!
From that dinner onward, Bai Xue had hinted and explicitly told Xu Mu many times that she was willing to pay any price.

Xu Mu didn't delve into these topics at all; he simply asked her for her bank card number.

Even after it ended, despite her proactive invitation to Xu Mu, he still refused her.

She was moved.

Composing herself, Bai Xue drove Xu Mu's electric scooter home and began contacting the doctors at the hospital, hoping they could arrange her mother's surgery as soon as possible.

……

While waiting at a traffic light, Xu Mu made a phone call to Tang Mochen.

"Hello? Uncle Tang, are you busy?"

"Not busy, having tea in the tea room? What's up?"

"Where are you? I'm coming over for some tea. Could you also arrange a meeting with Uncle Liu and Liu Yang for me?"

Xu Mu isn't like those old guys who like to beat around the bush.

Furthermore, Xu Mu was at the same level as them and was also a shareholder of Kaiyuan Taihe. He didn't ask them for anything; it was a completely equal exchange.

Of course, the respect that is due should still be shown.

After all, they are elders.

"I've already fired Liu Yang from the company, but I've kept their shares. Aren't you satisfied with that?"

"It has nothing to do with this matter, I just asked them for a favor."

Xu Mu didn't say it explicitly, but smiled faintly and said, "Give me an address, and I'll come over for a visit."

"Okay, I'll send you my location."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Mochen stared blankly at the tea in front of him.

A few seconds later, he couldn't help but laugh.

"This kid is really smart!"

"I haven't seen such interesting young people in a long time."

"Old Liu, you've met your match!"

Tang Mochen chuckled and muttered to himself.

He finally called Liu Jianguo, "Old Liu, bring Liu Yang over here!"

"Haven't they all been resolved already?"

Liu Jianguo was somewhat resentful of Tang Mochen's handling of the situation and naturally did not want to come and see Tang Mochen!
In his eyes, Liu Yang was still his son and Tang Mochen's nephew, but last night Tang Mochen made him lose face and apologize to Bai Xue, his assistant, in front of so many people.

Most importantly, Snow White still doesn't accept her apology.

Make Liu Yang kneel down and apologize.

This is a slap in the face!
"Heh, you think you've solved the problem between me, you, and Bai Xue! But you've forgotten there was another person involved last night, named Xu Mu!"

"I advise you to come over, otherwise this matter isn't over yet!"

Upon hearing Tang Mochen's words, Liu Jianguo's tone immediately turned serious, "What is this kid trying to do?"

"Do you really think I'm an old man who's easy to bully?"

"Or is it that this young man has a chance to challenge me?"

Tang Mochen chuckled and reminded him, "Old Liu, don't be so impulsive! Think about it, Xu Mu can casually spend 100 million to buy 10% of our shares, and he has no interest in hotel management at all. Do you think he lacks ability? There are always people more capable than you, and Tianji County is still just a small county town!"

"We have no idea what kind of influence his parents have outside!"

"There are some things you need to understand! You're the local bigwig, but isn't Xu Mu also a local bigwig? If we bring back another powerful figure from outside, Liu Yang will be in jail for a few years, even if he doesn't die!"

Liu Jianguo remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a cowardly tone, "I understand. I'll bring my unfilial son over now."

Soon, Xu Mu appeared at the Kaiyuan Taihe headquarters. He knocked on the door and walked in on his own.

"Uncle Tang, you have quite the refined taste, spending every day here drinking tea?"

After Xu Mu sat down, he handed Tang Mochen a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"That's right. Now most of the company's affairs are managed by Bai Xue, so I'm happy to have some free time. I can just drink tea and chat every day!"

"With our current assets, as long as we don't gamble, we can live very comfortably in this small county. We don't need too many desires; we have more money than we can spend," Tang Mochen said with a smile. "But you, young man, have a long future ahead of you to strive for!"

As he spoke, Tang Mochen poured Xu Mu a cup of tea.

"Uncle Tang, you're joking. I'm just a poor nobody. I was even planning to ask you to invest in my turtle farm! Come visit me sometime, take a look around. It doesn't have to be much, just a few hundred million or tens of millions. The annual return on investment is still quite good!" Xu Mu laughed and took a sip of his tea. "Hmm, good tea."

"Sure, I'll go visit sometime."

"If it's suitable, I'll invest ten or twenty million for you, it doesn't matter."

At their level, they truly have more money than they can spend.

Moreover, with projects in place, assets will only increase each year, never decrease!

There is also overlap in projects between shareholders. For example, I invest in your project, and you invest in my project. They are all cooperating with each other.

This is the power of connections in a small county.

"Okay, I'll invite you then."

After waiting for about ten minutes, Liu Jianguo brought Liu Yang into the tea room. "Uncle Liu, Brother Liu Yang, we meet again!"

"Good evening, Xiao Xu," Liu Jianguo greeted him with a smile.

These people who want to maintain appearances still care about their image.

Moreover, they also wanted to see what Xu Mu was up to.

After Liu Jianguo and his son sat down, Tang Mochen started rambling on and on, getting the conversation going.

They started talking about what happened last night.

Xu Mu waved his hand, not mentioning the matter, and instead complained about being poor, "Oh dear, Uncle Liu, business is tough these days!"

“Our farm lost a lot of money last year! I was just talking to Uncle Tang about investments, right? We're still short on funds, so I was wondering if Brother Liu Yang could lend me some money?”

Xu Mu wouldn't explain himself.

Both Liu Jianguo and Tang Mochen, who were present, were shrewd and astute.

It was obvious that Xu Mu's request for money had a hidden meaning.

"You he……"

When Liu Yang heard that Xu Mu wanted to borrow money from him, he immediately wanted to curse her out.

But Liu Jianguo glared at him and secretly patted his arm, signaling Liu Yang to speak honestly, "You... how much money do you want to borrow?"

"It's not much money, just five million."

"You... Ouch!"

Liu Yang broke down again and almost cursed out loud.

If Liu Jianguo hadn't grabbed Liu Yang's thigh, Liu Yang would have really become a troll.

Isn't this bullying?
Five million? You just casually throw that around?

“Xiao Xu, as you know, the economic environment has been bad these past two years, and we shareholders haven’t received much money. Five million is a bit too much.”

"How about this, Uncle will lend you three million, which will be just enough to expand your farm!"

Liu Jianguo glanced at Liu Yang, then gritted his teeth and began to bargain with Xu Mu.

"Uncle Liu! The infrastructure costs for this site are very high. The infrastructure alone will cost one million, and then there are all sorts of products to purchase. If we want to expand our product range, three million is definitely not enough. We also need to keep one million as working capital!"

Xu Mu's words implied that five million was out of the question!

"Okay, then I'll think of a way to lend you five million."

Liu Jianguo didn't want to get entangled with Xu Mu either. With the dividends from his shares in the company, he could earn 20 to 30 million yuan a year.

Now, if five million can save Liu Yang's life, they have no choice but to accept it.

Before coming here, he was worried that Xu Mu would ask for tens of millions.

If Xu Mu wants tens of millions, Liu Jianguo would rather fight to the death!

At worst, I'll just consider this son useless and start a new account.

Spending tens of millions to buy Liu Yang's time for a few years, aren't you trying to kill your old man?
You should just go to jail!

"Uncle Liu, I've sent you the bank card number."

Xu Mu picked up his phone and sent the card number to Liu Jianguo.

"Uncle Liu, I need it urgently. The site over there is only half finished, and there's still a lot of equipment that I haven't bought yet."

"Can you arrive tonight?"

"I'll transfer the money now!"

Liu Jianguo gritted his teeth, but what could he do?
admit!

"Ding!"

Xu Mu picked up her phone and saw a text message notification.

"A deposit of 5,000,000.00 yuan has been received from an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China account ending in 0576, leaving a balance of 5,107,483.83 yuan!"

"Thank you for the money, Uncle Liu! I will pay you back when I earn it."

“It’s alright, no rush! It’s not easy for you young people to start a business, there are many places to spend money, Uncle Liu is not in a hurry.”

"Thank you for your support, Uncle Liu!" Xu Mu clasped his hands in thanks to Liu Jianguo, then his expression changed as he took out his phone and placed it in front of Liu Jianguo. "Hey, Uncle Liu!"

"Speaking of which, I saw someone who looked a lot like Brother Liu Yang last night. Do you think it's him?"

As Xu Mu spoke, she opened the video she had recorded last night.

Then I clicked the delete video button.

"Oh dear, Uncle Liu, I'm so sorry, I accidentally deleted it!"

"I must be seeing things, this isn't Brother Liu Yang!"

Xu Mu chuckled as he put his phone away in his pocket. "Come on, have some tea."

When Liu Jianguo saw that Xu Mu had deleted the video, he finally felt relieved and smiled as he drank tea with Xu Mu.

He had witnessed Xu Mu's methods firsthand.

Xu Mu was quite honest; to him, keeping such videos was of no use.

We need to make this video work to its full potential!
The effect is +500w!

Ever since Tang Mochen steered the conversation toward this matter, he had been quietly sipping his tea, watching how Xu Mu would discuss it.

But he didn't expect Xu Mu to ask for money back by borrowing money, and without mentioning it at all, even though Liu Jianguo had a recording!

clever!

The young man is quite clever.

"It's getting late, Uncle Tang, Uncle Liu, Brother Liu Yang, I need to go home and sleep."

"I have to go to the turtle farm to work like a slave tomorrow!"

"I'll take my leave now. Let's meet again another day!"

"Alright, take care, Xiao Xu!"
