Chapter 151 Alcohol and Super Yachts

　　Nangong Tian insisted on going to the Shek O Country Club, hurriedly changing into sportswear.

　　Baseball cap, short sleeves, shorts, sneakers, radiating youthfulness, she hooked onto Su Yehao's arm and walked outside.

　　The land they had bought was already under construction. Sihai International's construction team, with several excavators and bulldozers, had moved in simultaneously. In just a few days, it was almost leveled. The excavated artificial lake had taken a rudimentary shape, with mounds of earth piled up beside it.

　　Just as they came out of the main gate, they happened to run into Jiang Yu.

　　The little girl was happy today, her face full of smiles as she asked, "You went to feed the hippos again?"

　　Jiang Yu nodded, glanced at Su Yehao, and calmly said, "Yes, a full two large bags of apples, costing me a hundred dollars. They crunched and munched them all up."

　　Raising pygmy hippos is dirtier than raising pigs. The two little guys can poop so much, no wonder there were news reports saying that the number of hippos in the river was too high, and they were suffocating the fish.

　　Fortunately, the yard at home was big, so it didn't affect their lives.

　　Su Yehao, who had already lost interest in the pygmy hippos, asked Jiang Yu at this time, "I saw a poster for the travel company at the airport. Your dad mentioned last time that he wanted you to take some photos to use in promotional advertisements. Did he contact you?"

　　"Huh? There was such a thing?"

　　Jiang Yu immediately perked up her ears and asked with interest, "Can I get money for being your model?"

　　"Of course you can make money. You can contact your dad yourself. How about 100,000?" Su Yehao had been busy raising more than 300 million US dollars recently, and he was gradually becoming numb. Now, mentioning 100,000 Hong Kong dollars didn't evoke any feeling in his heart.

　　Jiang Yu hadn't reached his level yet, and she immediately smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the company to discuss it with him later."

　　The little girl smiled slyly and joked, "Wouldn't it be possible to see Jiang Yu's photos on buses and bus stops then? Acting in movies is very demanding on talent, but being a model is also very good. I think it's very suitable, my skin is good enough to take on jobs for cosmetics companies."

　　After speaking, she reached out and touched Jiang Yu's face, which was delicate, smooth, and elastic.

　　Jiang Yu was still thinking, and asked suspiciously, "Will they really put it on the bus? Wouldn't a lot of people see it then? That's so embarrassing."

　　"Nonsense, advertising, advertising, of course it has to be placed in crowded places, otherwise who would see it?"

　　As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, he continued to ask, "What's so embarrassing about it? At worst... I'll add another 50,000 for you?"

　　Jiang Yu decisively reached out, "Deal! I'll go find my dad to get the money later!"

　　"..."

　　——————————

　　Big Wave Bay is very close to the Shek O Country Club.

　　By the time Su Yehao arrived with the little girl, President Peng was still on the way.

　　They sat in the lounge reading magazines and drinking coffee.

　　With Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank providing a line of credit, plus McKinsey helping to find bridge financing, the pressure on Su Yehao's shoulders was immediately relieved a lot. The remaining 100 million US dollars could be squeezed out at will. He himself had more than 50 million US dollars on hand from establishing stock option positions.

　　It really was true that the boat would right itself when it reached the bridge. If he had known that McKinsey could find 200 million US dollars, why would he have been so anxious before? However, the interest rate was really high, with a bit of a pitfall feel to it.

　　Of course.

　　The high interest rate was also because Su Yehao had no collateral, no guarantee, and iCQ wasn't good enough.

　　He knew he could do it, but others didn't know that. Lending him 200 million US dollars to acquire an Internet company that could collapse at any time, the other party also bore a lot of risk. They certainly wouldn't be happy to lend money if the return was too low.

　　It was a willing buyer and a willing seller transaction. Su Yehao wasn't considering so much anymore. Getting the international version of tvt up and running was the most important thing.

　　Seeing news about super yachts in the magazine, he sighed, handed the article to the little girl, and told her:

　　"Paul Allen customized a super yacht, twice the size of my dad's yacht. This Microsoft major shareholder gave someone a house, right next to my newly bought Silicon Valley villa. In addition, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, whose company is not far from my new company, also customized a super yacht of more than 130 meters, which seems to be a bit of a competition. Being neighbors with them is really stressful. When will I have a day like that... I'm afraid I'll have to wait another two or three years."

　　Originally, Nangong Tian had been preparing to flatter and comfort him after hearing Su Yehao's self-pitying words.

　　Suddenly hearing that he would have to wait another two or three years, this sudden mysterious confidence almost made her stumble. She said speechlessly, "Brother Hao, sometimes I find your skin is really thick. What's the point of such a big boat? I think your family's Sihai International is already very big, enough to run and exercise on the deck."

　　"People are greedy, and most afraid of comparisons. In the future, I must build a special super yacht, parked there it will be able to blind other people's eyes, the kind that makes them drool all the time, such as a huge modern sailboat of more than 100 meters. Then I'll take you sailing, go to Antarctica to see penguins, and go to Iceland to see the aurora."

　　He had already made quite a few empty promises.

　　Mentioning travel, the little girl perked up and asked, "Shall we go skiing in the French Alps in the second half of the year? Although I don't know how to ski, my friend said the scenery there is quite spectacular."

　　"No problem, I should be free in the second half of the year."

　　Su Yehao yawned and looked at the famous watch on his wrist.

　　The batch of watches he had picked up last time was still being held at the bank. He was earning more and more money, and owing more and more debt, and he hadn't had any spare money to redeem them.

　　Before he finished his coffee, President Peng arrived first, with two of his subordinates. He smiled and stretched out his hand from afar.

　　Like Kinjo Kento he had met before, both were bank presidents, but their styles were completely different.

　　President Peng's face broke into wrinkles with a smile. He enthusiastically shook Su Yehao's hand and wouldn't let go, saying, "Young Master Su, I've been looking forward to your return! Actually, we had a reply yesterday, but we couldn't reach you. How about going out for a few holes, and we can talk while we play? I remember the food was quite good here last time I came for a meeting. Let's have a drink in the evening, just a few sips?"

　　"Let's not, my alcohol tolerance is average, but I like to collect alcohol. I bought a few houses in Peng City, filled with thousands of cases of Moutai. I always feel that this stuff will appreciate in value in the future. It's a pity that I don't know many people and can't find older vintages, so I can only order new wine from the distillery, Feitian Moutai."

　　Su Yehao quietly pulled his hand back.

　　President Peng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately patted his chest and laughed:

　　"Other things are hard to find, but wanting to collect old wine is simple! Wait for me to ask around, and I guarantee I'll handle it beautifully for you. The distributors should have some in stock."

　　"Okay, I'll pay for it myself, the key is to find the channels."

　　Su Yehao thought it was more comfortable to be with his own people. Look at this comprehension ability, they understand everything with just a hint. He happily asked, "President Peng, you said you had news, are you referring to the loan?"

　　"Yes, I've looked around for people, and I can approve at least 200 million US dollars for you. The interest rate will definitely be the lowest. Let's talk about the details today."

　　Hearing this, Su Yehao was a little embarrassed instead.

　　Mainly because he had originally told President Peng that he would use iCQ's shares as collateral, but now he had to mortgage them to McKinsey.

　　The interest rate on loans from the Bank of China was relatively low, but McKinsey was faster and easier to disburse, and they also allowed early repayment.

　　During the golf game, he chatted with President Peng for a while. Su Yehao's intention was to change the original plan, asking them to provide a 100 million US dollar line of credit and asking Sihai International to provide a guarantee.

　　With a guarantee, things would be easier. President Peng only said that it was mostly no problem, but he still had to communicate with the higher-ups...
