C368 Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys
"Everyone quiet down! Quiet down! Pay attention to the order of the venue! Make a ruckus!"
Loong Shanyue looked down and started to talk louder and louder. His old face immediately turned down. He slammed the table and said: "I'm just asking you to donate a little money. Why are you arguing like this? What are you doing?"
"Don't pretend to be righteous in front of me, who doesn't know what kind of virtue you normally are? "BaoEr, you two, play celebrities and look for university students. All of you are full of poisons, and you didn't lose a single one of them!"
"Now, I want you all to sacrifice some of your strength for the people of Qingzhou, is there anything wrong with that? If you call them here and give them some money, will you all become paupers?! "
Loong Shanyue snorted and said, "I'll tell you the truth, you have to cooperate well with me for the donation collection. If anyone dares to act against my orders, we ten families will definitely not tolerate it!"
"However, if you guys are truly in a difficult situation, then you can step forward. Let's clear this matter up in front of everyone!"
The big bosses and entrepreneurs below the stage all clenched their teeth in hatred. However, on the surface, they pretended to be as obedient as little rabbits. Every one of them understood the principle of shooting the bird in the head.
If they openly went against the four great families in public, it would be equivalent to courting death. No one could afford the wrath of the four great families.
However, a hundred million was no small amount of money for anyone. This was especially true for those big bosses who were already nervous about the capital. Now, all of them were on tenterhooks, unable to dismount from their tiger mounts. He didn't know where to start, to save the money.
"Mr Long, to be honest, I do have some difficulties."
An old man wearing a suit mustered up his courage and slowly stood up. Noticing Loong Shanyue's expression, he spoke carefully.
Loong Shanyue's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He said lightly: "Feel free to say it now, what difficulties do you have?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said hesitatingly, "Mr Long, let me put on a show in front of you. It's not that I don't want to donate money but I'm willing to support such a fund-raising effort."
"But right now, our group's liquidity has indeed dried up. Now, there are more than a dozen projects going on at the same time. I'm worried, when will we be able to gather the next month's funds?"
"In the past few days, almost all of our company's upper echelons have been running loans in various banks. But all the banks agreed, saying that the amount of money we lent was too big, and they just rejected me. "
"In this period of time, I've already given my all to get this old face of mine. Even after borrowing all the friends I know, I still barely missed out on a few tens of millions. However, this amount of money, even the salaries of the employees next month and the interest on bank loans, has yet to be filled! "
"Alright, why are you blabbering so much."
Loong Shanyue said impatiently, "Just what are you trying to say? Speak up and don't beat around the bush."
The old man said carefully, "Mr. Long, since I am already old, can you please extend the donation by a few days? "I promise you now, as long as the repayment for the project comes to my account, I will immediately make up for all the contributions."
Loong Shanyue sneered and said disdainfully, "If you want me to give you a few days time, then others can also use this method to beg me. If you have to give everyone a time limit, can you make progress in your fund-raising efforts today?"
"I don't agree to your request. I will only give you two days. Everyone must send the money that they should pay to our designated account. Otherwise, hehe …"
The old man's expression changed. His heart was filled with grief. He stared at Loong Shanyue and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Long, are you trying to force us to a dead end? Can't we give you a chance to live?"
"I can't even collect the money I should be able to return next month, but you asked for three hundred million, what do I have to give you?"
Loong Shanyue disapprovingly said, "Even if you don't have any cash right now, you can use your real estate or stock as collateral. After you repay the money, come back and buy it from me."
The old man's expression changed and he said, "Mr. Long, it's not that I don't want to cooperate, but all the properties and shares that I own have been mortgaged to the bank." Even if I wanted to give it to you, I can't do it now. "
Pow!
As he said this, Loong Shanyue heavily slammed the table, looked at the old man with unfriendly eyes and said: "Zhou Chang, stop crying in front of me. Do you really have some money right now, or do you think I can't find it?"
"In your city, the one with the surname 'Zhou' is the one with the highest price. Now, you actually say that you can't even pay us next month's salary, do you think that we, the Four Great Families, are just toddlers in kindergarten?!"
The old man opened his mouth and said, "Mister Long, I've already explained the situation. I really can't afford to donate this amount of money in the near future." It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, since I have no other choice. "
A cruel smile flashed across Loong Shanyue's face, he slowly sat back on the chair and sneered: "You want to play this game with me? It doesn't matter if you don't have money. "
After saying that, he suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Do it!"1
The bodyguards around the venue all rushed towards the old man, each of them still holding onto their weapons, looking like they were ready to kill.
The retainer standing behind the old man was extremely agile. He quickly moved the old man behind him and began to fight with the first person that rushed over. Unfortunately, it was still difficult for him to fight against all four hands. In the end, he was cut to death by a knife.
Seeing this, the old man was scared out of his wits, as if he had gone mad. He shouted, "Loong Shanyue, you will kill yourself if you do too much wrong. For a crazy person like you, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his back. It was as if all the strength in his body was pulled out by someone else. He staggered and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Loong Shanyue nodded his head in satisfaction. With a cold smile on his face, he looked at the crowd below with disdain and said slowly, "Which family has any difficulties now? We can ask them together while we have the chance."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Their clothes were soaked in cold sweat. The whole venue was filled with the sound of swallowing saliva. Who would dare to say a word?
Zhou Chang's identity was already considered amazing among them. He was worth tens of billions and had several real estate companies under his command. However, they were still hacked to death by the Four Great Clans in public.
If they dared to step out again, then their fate would be much worse than this Zhou Chang.
Loong Shanyue was very satisfied when he saw that all of them had their heads down like obedient rabbits. However, he also sneered in his heart. What a bunch of despicable bones. If they didn't fight, then they wouldn't listen!
The reason he wanted to kill Zhou Chang just now, was to show him to the big shots. As long as he could scare them off, then today's donation would be very smooth, losing 30 billion, and he could easily make it back.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a flattering smile on his face stood up, bowed to Loong Shanyue and said, "Mr. Long, I am a man who pays a debt of gratitude. The reason why our Liu family could become a first-rate family is because we created a good financial environment for our family.
"This time, since Mister Long has personally spoken, and the goal is for the common people of Qingzhou, then our Liu Family definitely hasn't said anything. We should contribute a bit."
"Originally, I should have donated 300 million, but now I've changed my mind. In order to cooperate with the work of the four great families, I'm prepared to donate 500 million!"
After he finished, he looked at Loong Shanyue expectantly, like a primary school student waiting to be praised.
