A ship will right itself when it reaches the pier.

With enough starting capital, it's possible to leverage even more funds. It's not surprising that some people are willing to provide funds to Su Yehao.

If he were doing real estate or some other physical business, the more than two billion Hong Kong dollars he had on hand could even play with a hundred billion Hong Kong dollar pie. However, because the Internet industry has many uncertainties, and the value of iCQ is only a paper number, the process of finding money this time was slightly more troublesome.

Back in Hong Kong, he only stayed at home for a day.

Then he borrowed his mother's helicopter and went straight to Casino, 1997.

When Su Yehao communicated with his father face-to-face, he basically wasn't short of money anymore.

However, having finally found a reason to borrow money, Su Yehao felt that the money in the family would definitely appreciate faster in his hands than if it stayed in the company. Therefore, he still planned to borrow some money from his father, preferably enough to ensure that his existing long position share remained unchanged, and use the borrowed money to talk to the iCQ shareholders about the acquisition.

He took the opportunity to meet with Yin Liuli and invited his father and Second Aunt to dinner at the small building's restaurant.

During the meal.

Yin Liuli personally helped pour the red wine, intending to pretend she was just an employee.

However, at this moment, Father Su looked at the female store manager, who had a close relationship with his son, and said with a smile:

"This kid of mine doesn't come home at night and runs to your place, right? I'm not old-fashioned. If you're dating, just date. What are you hiding from us? Sit down and eat together. I just want to see how this guy is forcing his own father. He opens his mouth and asks for a hundred million US dollars. He's really got the nerve. The secret to my success in business is that I never borrow money or guarantee anything, but he's trying to force me to my death."

Now that he'd been exposed, what was the point of hiding?

Yin Liuli looked at Su Yehao nervously, but Su Yehao calmly pulled out a chair for her and said:

"We're all family, so why speak like outsiders? I'm just borrowing some money for an emergency, and it's not like I won't pay you back. I'm borrowing a hundred million US dollars from you now, and I'll pay you back a hundred and fifty million US dollars by the end of the year. Where can you find such a good deal? The iCQ I'm preparing to acquire has seven million active users worldwide, which will be a great help to my business. In the short term, it has the opportunity to develop into a technology giant with a valuation of over ten billion US dollars. I have to seize this opportunity. Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I really can buy it."

Compared to a business of this scale, Su Yehao's private life was not worth mentioning in Father Su's eyes.

He didn't bother to greet Yin Liuli, since she wasn't going to be his daughter-in-law or a junior from a friend's family. In the eyes of Father Su and Second Aunt, they might break up any day, so there was no need to care too much, just maintain a friendly attitude.

After listening to Su Yehao's words.

His father immediately poured cold water on him, asking, "Are you the only one who can do it? You know how to make it bigger and stronger, but wouldn't others? If it's really as good as you say, why would the company's shareholders want to sell it?"

Communicating with his parents was always like this, as if everything he did was wrong.

If his parents had fully supported him, the family's assets would have doubled long ago. Why would he need to haggle over a hundred million US dollars here? Su Yehao was already used to it and explained seriously:

"They don't know they're sitting on a gold mine, and the tAt I created earlier can just convert their users into real wealth. Providing advertising on the website can make money, and some virtual items can also make money. There are a full seven million users, and the growth rate is especially fast. I told you before that I would acquire it this year and package it for listing next year. I'm not joking. I'll take advantage of the hot market to take the international version of tvt out and raise some money."

Before.

Su Yehao had earned a lot of wealth through investment.

Although it had a bit of a "relying on luck" feel, it was still a plus. Father Su had always had a special fondness for listing, and he also knew about the heat of the Internet market. Therefore, after hesitating, he asked with interest, "Have you really thought it through? Are there no problems in any aspect?"

"I've thought it through. There really aren't any major problems. The only troublesome thing is how to convert their users into tvt users. When necessary, I will directly stop the operation of iCQ and try to merge it with tvt anyway. The usage habits are similar, and my product is even better. It's like a major upgrade."

The waiter began to serve dishes, with top-quality caviar as an appetizer. Yin Liuli had received the news in advance and made special preparations.

After Father Su listened to Su Yehao, he nodded and continued to say, "Squeezing out a hundred million US dollars shouldn't be a big problem, but does your mother know about this? Don't let me agree, and she casts a veto. You also know that your mother has more say than me. If that's the case, wouldn't it be a terrible loss of face?"

"Um... I'll talk to Mom about it."

Su Yehao then asked his father, "Also, can you guarantee me one more time? It's not that I don't have money, it's just that my funds are temporarily used for investment. It's more cost-effective to borrow from the bank. Yahoo's users are increasing crazily, and the turnover is doubling. The room for stock price appreciation is still very large. If I want to sell it, some institutions are even willing to take over at a premium..."

Whether it was the Second Aunt sitting next to him or Yin Liuli sitting upright and restrained, they both felt that Su Yehao had become very different compared to before.

It was rare to see Su Yehao talk about business, and he wasn't disliked by his father. Yin Liuli was in a great mood, tasting the caviar in small bites.

Involving a business of more than three hundred million US dollars, how could Father Su dare to relax?

However, although it was said to be investing more than three hundred million US dollars, he expected that even if the business failed, it wouldn't be possible to lose it all. Anyway, his son had his own money, and even if the worst happened, the impact on his own business wouldn't be great.

Considering these factors, Father Su was inclined to support him, but his doubts still hadn't been dispelled. He said that since he was borrowing money, he would handle it officially and would find some people to understand the acquisition plan in detail.

Su Yehao told him to find some young people to be responsible for the evaluation, so as not to run into old fogeys who knew nothing about the Internet business.

…

After talking about serious matters, they finally turned the topic to Yin Liuli.

Second Aunt knew very well about Su Yehao's relationship with Nangong Tian, and also knew that Jiang Yu, who was neither fish nor fowl, was also involved.

That night of thunderstorms last year, Second Aunt still remembered the scene of Su Yehao and Jiang Yu sleeping in the same bed. She took it for granted that the two had already developed to that point, but they were just hiding it from the parents and didn't make it clear.

Smart elders don't interfere in the emotional lives of their juniors. Although Second Aunt felt that Yin Liuli was only blessed with good looks and had almost no chance of stepping into the Su family's door, she was still polite and asked only about her family situation and how the two met.

Father Su was particularly calm.

As early as a year ago, when the restaurant had just opened, he had met Yin Liuli.

There hadn't been any problems during this time, and her personality was pretty good. Since she wasn't a messy woman, there was no need to worry about it.

All in all.

Today's meal was more smooth than Su Yehao had expected. As long as his father also borrowed a hundred million US dollars, the financial pressure would be completely gone, and he would even have extra money.

The pressure was greatly reduced, and his mood also became peaceful. Although he might be heavily in debt, that was a trouble that would need to be considered in the future.

As long as the assets continued to appreciate, it wouldn't even be a problem. There was a chance to pay it all off within this year...
