Chen Xiong's face lit up with a smile.
"That's good. Our interest rate is 4 percent. If you borrow 5 million, you'll have to repay 7 million. So, you need to give me a promissory note for 7 million first."
"Additionally, you must have valuable assets for collateral. Houses, factories, cars, anything will do."
Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and took out the property deed from his pocket.
It was what he had taken to the bank for the loan, conveniently on him.
"My house is worth over 5 million, which I'll mortgage to your headquarters! I also have a Mercedes worth 300,000. If I can't repay, you can take it."
Seeing such a eager client, Chen Xiong quickly took the property deed to have a look.
After confirming the information about Zhang Yi's house, he felt even more satisfied.
Because at the current market price, that house could easily be sold for at least 5.5 million!
Plus a car, they wouldn't lose out on this deal no matter what.
However, Chen Xiong still put on a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
"Mr. Zhang, your house is worth at most four or five million. But you want to take 5 million from me, that puts me at a loss!"
Zhang Yi, with an astonished expression, excitedly said, "Mr. Chen, you have to help me! I'm in urgent need of money."
"As long as you can transfer the money to me today, I'll settle for 4.5 million!"
Chen Xiong and Hu Minghua exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with amusement.
They were just doing highway robbery.
The more desperate the person was for money, the harder they would squeeze!
"No, no, this deal is just not profitable."
Finally, after some bargaining, both parties agreed on 4 million.
But Zhang Yi demanded that the money be transferred to his account today.
Although loan companies were unscrupulous, their efficiency was indeed high.
That was probably their only advantage over banks.
After signing the contract, 4 million cash soon landed in Zhang Yi's account.
He smirked inwardly.
This money for Chen Xiong was like a meat bun thrown to a dog, no way to retrieve it.
Uh... why did it feel like he was cursing himself a bit?
Zhang Yi left the loan company with a smile on his face.
He glanced back at the office building with a hint of mockery.
"They're such good people! Giving me money for free to spend."
From now on, there would be no intersection between Zhang Yi and Chen Xiong, Hu Minghua.
Zhang Yi now had about 9 million in his hands.
It was more than enough to execute his plan.
After all, for any purchases he made in the future, he could use prepayment.
This 9 million would have purchasing power of tens of millions!
There was no need to make more money. Otherwise, Zhang Yi wouldn't mind taking advantage of various online lending platforms.
Zhang Yi drove to the famous Dragon Security Company in Tianhai City.
Dragon was one of the largest security companies in China, specializing in providing security services for tycoons and celebrities.
Sometimes, even senior officials would seek their help for travel.
Zhang Yi chose them because in his previous life he had heard that Dragon had built a top-notch safe house worth a billion dollars for a rich man in Jiangnan Province!
And Dragon's contribution to the safe house was indispensable.
Upon arrival at Dragon, Zhang Yi explained his purpose to the receptionist.
Soon, someone from the business department escorted Zhang Yi to a lounge.
A receptionist brought freshly brewed coffee for Zhang Yi.
Shortly after, a burly man with a buzz cut walked in.
He was dressed in a black suit, giving off a bit of a gangster vibe.
One couldn't help but worry that his clothes might burst.
But it had to be said, seeing such a person would give a sense of security to the client.
"Hello, sir, I'm Wu Huai-ren, the manager of the business department. What can we do for you?" Wu Huai-ren asked, sitting next to Zhang Yi.
After taking a sip of coffee, Zhang Yi said, "I need you to build a safe house for me."
At Wu Huai-ren's words, his eyes instantly became serious.
If someone else heard this, they would find it ridiculous.
But for Dragon, this was no joke.
Because in this world, the richest and most powerful people were often the most afraid of death.
In recent years, many wealthy people around the world had begun to imitate this behavior.
Some people might truly fear encountering large-scale natural disasters.
These types of big deals were few and far between for them each year.
"Mr. Zhang, Dragon is a world-class security company. Your request is definitely something we can fulfill."
Zhang Yi immediately said, "If I ask you to overhaul a building at the 24th floor level, can you do it?"
Wu Huai-ren looked a bit strange. Usually, such safe houses were standalone villas or underground shelters.
It was rare for a tycoon to choose to build a safe house in an apartment.
But if the customer made a request, their company would certainly meet it.
Wu Huai-ren smiled confidently, "There's no problem with that! Dragon is a world-class security company."
"With our technology, we can completely meet your requirements."
Hearing Wu Huai-ren's words, Zhang Yi had already made up his mind.
In that case, he would choose to turn his own house into a safe house!
He chose to stay to witness how those who had harmed him would die!
Wu Huai-ren took out a tablet and handed it to Zhang Yi.
"Our company's services are all customized. You can select the services you need in it. And there are corresponding prices listed."
In the era of information technology, communication was convenient.
Zhang Yi took the tablet handed to him and began to carefully select the services listed on it.
It had to be said that a professional company was a professional company.
As long as you had the money, Dragon Security Company could satisfy almost all your requirements.
Including building safe houses 100 meters underground and under the sea.
However, these projects were too slow for Zhang Yi. He only had one month.
