Chapter 120 Fake Signal

For two days in a row, Su Yehao asked three times if her "relatives" had arrived.

However, Yin Liuli's "relatives" were late in coming, which once plunged him into the panic of possibly becoming a father.

He was worried that the test strip results weren't accurate enough, after all, the packaging box stated only a 95% accuracy rate, leaving enough room for error. For a few brief minutes, Su Yehao had even thought of names for several children.

Fortunately, it really was just a false alarm. Her "relatives" finally arrived, and in full force, with stomach pains bad enough to keep her in bed. It really was just a messed-up period.

Su Yehao breathed a sigh of relief, finally completely relieved.

January 12, 1998.

The twenty-day winter vacation was coming to an end, and he was going back to Hong Kong University to start school tomorrow.

Zhao Yimeng suddenly called Su Yehao, setting the meeting place at the Liren Royal Court Club.

The club belonged to the little girl’s family, and the business was varied. You could eat and sing, and there were also places to hold meetings and discuss business. Occasionally, there were Japanese flower arrangement and pastry cooking activities organized by wealthy women. Afternoon tea was also very famous, quite suitable for entertaining friends.

Operating on Nangong Tian's territory, the news was likely to reach her ears. Thinking that rather than sit and wait, it would be better to take the initiative to clarify.

So, before going to meet Zhao Yimeng, Su Yehao specifically called the little girl, using the excuse of reserving a seat to notify her of this matter.

At this moment.

Nangong Tian said lazily on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll tell the manager. Just go straight there. I had my mom buy you some tea leaves before. I'll just get them for you. I'm accompanying my mom at an art gallery, wanting to buy some decorative paintings."

"Oh? You little jealous pot, hearing that I'm meeting with Miss Zhao, you're actually so calm?"

As soon as Su Yehao asked, he immediately heard laughter on the other end of the phone. The little girl said happily, "If it were someone else, I'd be worried, but Zhao Yimeng is different. That woman is blind. You used to like her for so long, and you still didn't succeed."

"...That makes sense. Okay, see you later."

After a few words, Su Yehao hung up the phone, drove out in his Ferrari, with the bodyguards sandwiching his car in front and behind.

For a family of several people, the annual security costs millions. The Su family mansion has replaced a full set of security equipment, and even equipped the home with bulletproof glass to create a safe room.

After half a year of settling down, Hong Kong is gradually getting back on track. The situation in Casino, 1997 is generally good, but with the relaxation of the white people, the security situation is still slightly worse than in previous years, just minor troubles.

Some businessmen dare not invest, but Su Yehao hopes that his old man will take advantage of the low asset prices and buy more land to hoard.

Looking at Sihai International's current debt ratio, it only accounts for about 20% of total assets. There is still a lot of room to maneuver. It is a pity not to expand with bank loans…

Su Yehao was thinking about loans, while Zhao Yimeng was worried about the excessive debt ratio of the Donghuang Group.

Although she is a girl, with her father's illness and some changes at home, the eldest lady of the Zhao family suddenly realized that someone has to shoulder the burden, and the idea of specializing in piano has gradually faded.

After meeting at the entrance of the Liren Royal Court Club, Su Yehao accompanied her inside.

He noticed that from the doorman to the waiters, most of them knew Su Yehao and greeted him one by one.

A pretty girl greeted him with a smile and said, "Oh, Young Master Su, long time no see. The sisters miss you so much."

Another pretty girl next to her hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't you know he's dating Little Nangong now? Be careful you get fired. We can't joke like we used to."

Su Yehao didn't remember these two girls, assuming it was a mess he had left behind in the past.

Smiling awkwardly, Su Yehao saw that Zhao Yimeng's expression was strange, so he decisively explained, "Don't think too much. How could I be that kind of person? I'm just sociable, joking around."

Zhao Yimeng rolled her eyes and didn't respond.

When they sat down in the tearoom, a young girl prepared to make tea. Zhao Yimeng gave her a few hundred dollars as a tip and waved her away, personally starting to brew black tea.

The relationship between the two can only be considered acquaintance.

This Miss Zhao went straight to the point and said to Su Yehao, "In the past few days, I have sorted out all the projects of the Donghuang Group, and also attended meetings with my mother and senior executives. They have a lot of objections to your family's project in Pengcheng. In addition, some assets are being prepared for sale at a low price to alleviate the current debt pressure. I don't know if your family is interested."

"Five percent of the shares in the Cultural Tourism City, with a total investment of only two hundred million. This amount of money is not much. Even if you sell it, it won't help much, right?"

Su Yehao sat lazily, basking in the sun by the window.

Across the road, not far away was the bay. Seabirds were gathering in the park, chattering and scrambling for food near the trash cans.

He continued with a smile, "If you want to withdraw your investment, I personally am willing to take over this batch of shares at any time, but let me tell you plainly, you will regret it in three to five years. From the beginning, I wanted to hold the entire project entirely in my own hands."

Zhao Yimeng was stunned after hearing this, shaking her head and saying,

"The minority shareholders don't support it, but my parents are very optimistic, after all, the land acquisition price is so low, and like you said, this little money won't put out the fire. The projects being prepared for external transfer do not include it, mainly the office building in Singapore, as well as our Rose Hotel in Casino, 1997 and the residential project in Hong Kong. I have listed a form, and the price is negotiable."

Su Yehao took the folder, flipped through it and found that there were actually eight projects, some of which belonged to the core assets of the Donghuang Group, such as the Donghuang Shopping Plaza in Casino, 1997, which is located near the Hotel Lisboa. He often passed by at that time, but it has not yet opened.

After a quick glance, Su Yehao clicked his tongue and said, "Is this a plan to shed its tail like a gecko?"

"Pretty much. The top priority is to alleviate cash flow. To be honest, there are two short-term debts that will mature in April, totaling nine hundred million Hong Kong dollars. The bank has made it clear that it will not provide more loans until it is determined that Donghuang's debt situation has been alleviated."

Zhao Yimeng was telling the truth. Her family's situation has been revealed by the media. You can find out by checking it. There is no need to hide it.

Moreover, with the current situation, the most critical thing is to recover funds as soon as possible. She no longer expects to sell at a very high price, so it's better to be frank.

Some time ago, Su Yehao bought both land and houses. Seeing the assets she was selling off at this time, he was still a little tempted.

He picked up his cup and drank tea.

Su Yehao tentatively asked, "You think too highly of me, right? Why come to me instead of discussing this with my dad?"

Zhao Yimeng was silent for a moment and said,

"It's easier to talk to you. If my mother comes forward, it will become a matter between companies. Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if your family rejects it? So I wanted to ask you privately first."

Su Yehao couldn't make up his mind, mainly because house prices and land prices were still falling, far from hitting rock bottom.

He changed the subject and suddenly said, "After seeing you at the Da Xian Temple last time, my dad asked if I still liked you, the kind who would try to arrange a marriage."

"...What do you mean?"

Zhao Yimeng asked suspiciously, gritting her teeth and adding, "The problem is with the company, my family is fine, don't dream."

Su Yehao said calmly,

"Don't worry, I have already refused. I don't want to kick someone when they are down. I have plenty of ways to help your family out of trouble, but what's in it for me?"
