Chapter 103 A High-End Hunter

There's a saying: the most sophisticated hunters often appear in the form of prey!

Su Tianyu knew very well that Jiang Zhou's claim about facing cash flow problems and needing to sell the factory to revitalize funds was complete nonsense, a blatant attempt to deceive.

Inside the courtyard, Jiang Zhou sat beneath a sun umbrella, smiling as he asked Su Tianyu, "So, what do you think? Interested in taking it over?"

Su Tianyu scratched his head. "To be honest, the factory is quite attractive, but I don't have that much money on hand."

"Heh," Jiang Zhou said, not pressing the issue. "Think about it. I'll treat you to dinner and karaoke tonight, and we can discuss it further then."

"Alright," Su Tianyu nodded.

"I have some matters to attend to shortly. Shall I have the driver take you back first?" Jiang Zhou stood up. "We'll talk on the phone tonight."

"Sure, no problem." Su Tianyu proactively extended his hand toward Jiang Zhou. "Thank you, Chief, for giving me this opportunity to get rich."

Jiang Zhou shook hands with Su Tianyu and patted him on the shoulder. "After all, we're good brothers who fought side by side. Of course I'd think of you when there's a good opportunity."

"Hehe, good."

After a few pleasantries, Su Tianyu and his second brother left by car.

...

Afternoon.

Inside the Haijing Hotel's restaurant, Su Tianbei ate his Chinese meal, frowning as he looked at Su Tianyu. "I checked on my phone. That factory Jiang Zhou showed us requires a total investment of at least four or five thousand. And that doesn't even include the equipment in the yard. He wants to give it to us for only twenty million. That's a bit unsettling! Why would he give us such a huge advantage?"

Su Tianyu took a sip of soup. "Because of my relationship with Lao Li."

"How so?"

"Not to brag, but I can influence some of Lao Li's decisions, right?" Su Tianyu replied softly. "The Hua District's layout in The Dragon City Rises is a very long-term plan with a clear intention: to unite overseas Chinese. But this cannot be said explicitly, let alone discussed directly with Lao Li, because there are issues of stance and opposition involved."

"Yes, I understand that. Isn't the arms trade for the same purpose?" Su Tianbei nodded.

"The arms trade is basically our family's responsibility, and I can talk to Lao Li and influence him to some extent. That's why Jiang Zhou wants to give me the factory at half price," Su Tianyu said with a grin. "It's equivalent to indirect bribery."

"Damn, so you haven't been sucking up to Lao Li for nothing." Su Tianbei blinked. "Since Chief Jiang is so generous, let's not be hypocritical and quickly raise money to buy the factory. He's right. If we have a transit station in the Golden Triangle for our wine and cigarette trade, things will be much more convenient."

Su Tianyu was speechless. "You know the factory is worth forty or fifty million, maybe even more, yet you still want to buy it from him at half price. How are you going to repay such a huge favor in the future? Do you think the money is free? What if Jiang Zhou asks me to do something Lao Li doesn't want me to do? Can I refuse? Don't forget, our Miaomiao is going to marry into their family."

Su Tianbei pondered for a long time. "You make sense! So we shouldn't agree?"

"He's Li Fugui's nephew, a genuine second-generation official. If you refuse him to his face, wouldn't you be offending him?" Su Tianyu licked his lips. "More importantly, I'm afraid he'll misunderstand that Lao Li doesn't dare to accept it. That would imply that our attitude towards the Hua District is that we can only cooperate but must maintain a clear distance."

Su Tianbei didn't understand politics. Listening to Six's analysis, he felt like he was about to break down. "There are so many twists and turns! Damn, it's giving me a headache."

Su Tianyu took a sip of water and fell silent.

"So what are you going to do?" Su Tianbei asked.

"I'll make a couple of calls." After considering for a moment, Su Tianyu reached out and dialed Lu Feng's number.

"Hello? Chief Su, what can I do for you?" Lu Feng asked politely.

"Brother Feng, please call me Little Six."

"... Please, Six Grandpa, what do you want?" Lu Feng felt uneasy hearing this title.

"Hehe." Su Tianyu grinned. "Do you have money?"

"Well, the cash in my pocket has all been donated to the Buddha for charity." Lu Feng blinked. "But if you need it urgently, and it's not too much, I can get a nude loan right now!"

"Not much. Can you raise three or four hundred? I'll pay you back in six months at most." Su Tianyu replied immediately. "You'll be doing a good deed."

"Damn, I thought you wanted a lot of money! You scared me. I almost went up the mountain in a hurry." Lu Feng felt relieved. "When do you need it?"

"As soon as possible. Find a small company to go through the bank in District Two and lend me the money."

"Alright, I'll raise five hundred for you. Let me know if it's not enough!"

"Brother Feng, you're awesome!"

"There's nothing I can do. Who told you to be Lao Li's son?" Lu Feng replied immediately. "I wouldn't dare offend you...!"

"We're all friends. Don't say that."

"Give me your account. I'll transfer it to you as soon as I've raised it." Lu Feng replied.

"Got it!"

The two chatted for a while, and Su Tianyu borrowed five hundred this way.

"It's unnecessary to call Brother Feng." Su Tianbei reminded him with a smile. "You're from the City Industry Association. Just call the head of the code worker association, and they'll all be eager to lend you money."

"No, no, we can't do that." Su Tianyu waved his hand. "Lao Li will scold me for bullying the people in the code worker association."

"Then you...!"

"I've got it!"

Su Tianyu originally wanted to call Wei Xiangzuo, but considering that he had spent a lot of cash when Lao Wei ran for president, and he should be living a frugal life now, he tried to avoid asking him for money.

After considering for a moment, Su Tianyu dialed a number he hadn't called in a long time.

...

In the city center of District One.

Zhang Tao Tao had just taken five days off from the group to return home and meet with Su Tiannan.

"Ring Ring!"

A phone rang.

"Hello?" Zhang Tao Tao looked at the caller ID and pressed the answer button. "Hello, who is this?"

"Hehe, President Zhang, this is Su Tianyu!"

"...!" Zhang Tao Tao was stunned and looked strangely at Su Tiannan. "Oh, Officer Su, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, I have a very good project in hand, but there is a problem with capital turnover." Su Tianyu had communicated with Zhang Tao Tao a lot on the mining business before. The two can not be regarded as particularly good friends, but there is a certain interest relationship: "I ... I want to borrow some money from you."

"You want to borrow money from me??" Zhang Tao Tao was stunned, looking at Su Tiannan, who looked like a victim and was sitting at her home eating noodles with his feet itching, and immediately said that she owed the Su family brothers?

"President Zhang, are you listening? Hello? Hello?"

"... Uh, uh!" Zhang Tao Tao held back for a long time: "Wait a while, I'll call you back, my puppy has diarrhea ...!"

Su Tiannan, who was eating, looked up and muttered: "How can you scold me for eating your two meals!"
