6 Building a Top-Tier Safe House.
Chen Xiong's face lit up with a smile.
"That's good. Our interest rate is 4%. If you borrow 5 million, you'll have to repay 7 million. So, you need to give me a promissory note for 7 million," he said.
"In addition, you must have valuable assets as collateral. Houses, factories, cars, anything will do."
Zhang Yi pretended to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out the property deed from his pocket.
He had taken it with him when he went to the bank for the loan, and it happened to be on him.
"I have this house worth over 5 million, which I can mortgage to your company! I also have a Mercedes-Benz worth 300,000. If I can't repay, you can take it too."
Chen Xiong, seeing such a cooperative client for the first time, quickly took the property deed and glanced at it.
After confirming the information about Zhang Yi's house, he became even more satisfied.
Because according to the current market price, that house could easily be sold for at least 5.5 million!
With the addition of the car, there was no way he would lose money in this deal.
However, Chen Xiong still made a dissatisfied expression.
"Mr. Zhang, your house is worth at most four or five million. But you want to borrow 5 million from me, that puts me at a disadvantage!"
Zhang Yi's face showed a shocked expression as he excitedly said, "Mr. Chen, you must help me! I'm in urgent need of money."
"As long as you can transfer the money to me today, I'll be fine with just 4.5 million!"
Chen Xiong and Hu Minghua exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with mockery.
They were in the business of taking advantage of desperate situations.
The more desperate someone was for money, the more they would squeeze them!
"No, no, this deal is not profitable," Chen Xiong said.
Finally, after some negotiation, both parties reached an agreement of 4 million.
However, Zhang Yi insisted that the money must be transferred to his account today.
Although the loan company was unscrupulous, their efficiency was indeed high.
That was probably the only advantage they had over banks.
After signing the contract, Zhang Yi's account quickly received 4 million in cash.
He laughed inwardly.
For Chen Xiong, this money was like a dog chasing a meat bun, once it was gone, there was no way back.
Um... why does it feel like I'm insulting myself?
Zhang Yi happily walked away with the money.
After he left, laughter filled the office of Chen Xiong and Hu Minghua.
"Hahaha! This deal was so simple. That foolish kid actually took the 4 million and left," Chen Xiong said with satisfaction. "At the very least, we can earn a couple million from this. We don't have to worry about our performance this month!"
Leaning on the desk, Hu Minghua chuckled, "Boss, he signed the contract so willingly. Could there be something wrong with that house?"
Chen Xiong held the property deed in his hand and smiled, "This property deed is genuine, no problem at all. As long as the house belongs to him, he can't escape!"
With the property deed and the promissory note for 7 million, they would naturally find a way to obtain that house later.
Not only that, they had more ways to completely drain Zhang Yi.
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Xiong elegantly sipped his coffee.
"If worse comes to worst, we can contact a few overseas organizations and see if there are any valuable parts on him that we can sell."
"We never make losing deals!"
...
Zhang Yi happily left the loan company.
He looked back at the office building, a faint hint of mockery on his lips.
"They are such good people! Giving me money to spend for free."
From now on, Zhang Yi and Chen Xiong, Hu Minghua would have no further interaction.
It might be more accurate to say that there was a high probability they would meet their end in the extreme cold wave that would come in a month's time.
In Zhang Yi's hands, he now had around 9 million in funds.
It was more than enough to carry out his plan.
After all, he could use prepayments for any future purchases, giving him tens of millions of purchasing power with this 9 million.
There was no need to accumulate more money. Otherwise, Zhang Yi wouldn't mind taking advantage of various online lending platforms for some easy gains.
Zhang Yi drove his car to the famous Zhanlong Security Company in Tianhai City.
Zhanlong was one of the largest security companies in China, specializing in providing security services for the wealthy and celebrities.
Sometimes, even high-ranking officials would seek their assistance for their travels.
Zhang Yi chose them because in his past life, he had heard that Zhanlong had built a billion-dollar top-tier safe house for a wealthy heir in Jiangnan Province.
It was said that the family made their fortune in real estate and managed to live luxuriously even during the apocalypse.
Zhanlong played a crucial role in constructing their safe house.
Upon arriving at Zhanlong, Zhang Yi explained his purpose to the front desk.
Immediately, someone from the business department led Zhang Yi to a lounge.
The receptionist served him freshly brewed coffee.
Shortly after, a burly man with a crew cut walked in.
He was wearing a black suit, exuding a hint of a gangster vibe.
One couldn't help but worry that his clothes might burst at any moment.
However, it had to be said that when clients saw such a person, they would feel a sense of security.
"Hello, sir. My name is Wu Huairen, the manager of the business department. May I ask what you need us to do?" Wu Huairen asked as he sat next to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi took a sip of his coffee and said, "I need you to build a safe house for me."
"It's the kind that can withstand the end of the world, the highest level of safe house."
Wu Huairen's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
If others heard these words, they would find it laughable.
Because no one would believe in some so-called end of the world.
But for Zhanlong, it was no joke.
Because the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in the world were often the most afraid of death.
Long ago, some billionaires overseas had spared no expense in building doomsday bunkers worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In recent years, many wealthy individuals around the world had begun to follow suit.
Some people might genuinely fear encountering large-scale natural disasters.
There are also those who simply have too many enemies in their daily lives and want to add some sense of security for themselves.
And thus, Zhanlong Security Company's doomsday safe houses were born to cater to the market demand.
Upon hearing that Zhang Yi wanted to build a doomsday-level safe house, Wu Huairen became more polite.
They didn't receive such big orders every year.
"Mr. Zhang, Zhanlong is a world-class security company. We can certainly meet your requirements," he said.
Zhang Yi immediately asked, "If I ask you to transform an entire unit on the 24th floor, can you do it?"
Wu Huairen's gaze became strange. Normally, such safe houses were standalone villas or underground shelters.
Very few wealthy individuals would choose to create safe houses in an apartment building.
However, if the client made a request, their company would naturally fulfill it.
Wu Huairen smiled confidently. "That's absolutely not a problem! Zhanlong is one of the world's top security companies."
"With our technology, we can completely meet this requirement you mentioned."
Hearing Wu Huairen's words, Zhang Yi started to make plans in his mind.
In that case, he would choose to transform his own house into a safe house!
He chose to stay because he wanted to witness with his own eyes how those who had harmed him would die!
Wu Huairen took out a tablet and handed it to Zhang Yi.
"Our company's services are all customized. You can select the services you need inside, and there are corresponding prices listed."
In the age of information technology, communication became convenient.
Zhang Yi took the tablet handed to him and began carefully selecting the services listed.
It had to be said that a professional company was indeed professional.
As long as you had the money, Zhanlong Security Company could fulfill almost all your requirements.
Including building safe houses underground, a hundred meters deep or even underwater.
However, these projects would take too long for Zhang Yi. He only had one month.
