The embarrassment of Mr. Li is not that it takes two hours to make up the 10 billion.
It's about how to get it together.
In fact, even if it is a 100-billionaire who wants to collect 10 billion on the spot, the difficulty is not ordinary. Many rich people are actually worth only by the stock prices held by the company. However, you want to make money without selling your stocks. , You can only borrow from friends, but who can give you 10 billion immediately? Or if you don't take the company's stock as collateral for exchange dilution, who will lend it to you for free, and there is no IOU contract at all on the phone. It’s okay for you to borrow tens of millions from friends, but if you ask a few million people, you have to think about what you want to do, and then they will ask you to talk to their financial planner, which is a mess. What's more, you want to make up 10 billion
He holds 4% of the shares in Samsung's head office. According to the total market value of Samsung's total of more than 300 billion US dollars, it is worth almost 12 billion US dollars. However, he can't sell these shares at all, because if he sells them, the family will be fried, the structure of the entire board of directors will change, and at least the family business will be different in nature.
What's more, now that his father is seriously ill, his eldest brother's inheritance company has been suppressed by the government to reduce the absolute control of the group. If at this time, 4% of his hands are mortgaged, it will definitely be a big hidden danger. will be a sinner!
All of a sudden, Mr. Li didn't know what to do.
Seeing him indifferent, Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Hurry up, there are still 110 minutes left, you, the second son of the head of Samsung, didn't you just brag about how powerful you are? I don't ask you to give away all the assets of your Li family. If you take it out, I just ask you to take out 10 billion to bet with me."
Mr. Li's eyes were a little dazed, he watched Xu Cheng grit his teeth, and then he picked up the phone: "Since you want to count the money, tell me earlier."
Then he called his lawyer.
"Hey, it's me. Now I want you to estimate the market value of all the stocks under my name and make a mortgage transfer statement."
"Are you crazy? What are you doing at this juncture? These stocks can't be used casually, do you know? Your father is still in the hospital, and your brother is now struggling to find ways to avoid inheritance tax and control more Controlling rights, if you mortgage it, Samsung’s Li family’s holdings will change, do you understand the seriousness of the matter? You are just an illegitimate child, and it is enough to spend and eat normally, don’t make a fool of yourself.”
"I tell you to do it and you do it. Why is there so much nonsense? If you don't do it, then get out, and I'll find a lawyer to help me do it."
Lawyer: "I need to report to you."
Mr. Li: "If you don't want your family to collect your body under the Han River Bridge, you'd better not do it."
The lawyer swallowed: "Then just wait a moment."
Mr. Li nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he said to the casino's international asset appraisal team: "I need to use the company stock as collateral."
The professional team over there nodded: "Yes, please transmit all the materials by electronic fax."
Mr. Li's lawyer has been busy working there. First, he sent all the shareholding documents under Mr. Li's name directly by fax.
There are several miscellaneous shares in total, all of which are stocks of subsidiaries of the Samsung Group.
The evaluation report estimated that it was 8.2 billion US dollars.
Mr. Li immediately exploded: "The market value is obviously 12 billion, but you have reduced it to 8.2 billion? Are you professional?"
The representative of the evaluation team here stroked his glasses and said: "Mr. Li, please clarify a concept. Your 12 billion market value is the highest price that others can give you at their discretion if you are not in a hurry to sell. But at present, you want Acting with mortgage will naturally shrink, because considering the profit of our mortgage company, it is natural to lower the price to calculate. If you disagree, you can find other international mortgage evaluation teams, but I remind you that the current cruise ship Only our venture capital firm is willing to give you a mortgage."
Xu Cheng spread his hands: "Then you are still short of 1.8 billion US dollars, come on, it's time to show off your connections with Mr. Samsung, who said just now that proving a person's strength depends on how much money he can borrow, come on, Let me see how much your three-star son's face is worth, and you can lend it to me now."
Mr. Li picked up the phone directly and called his good friends from other Korean families.
He first called the members of the Cui family who were second only to the Li family.
"Hey, Inho, what are you doing?"
"This is the point, what else do you think you can do, of course it is to fly a plane." A hey voice came from the phone.
"I want to ask you to help me with something."
"Tell me, it's rare that you need to find me."
Mr. Li: "Lend me some money."
"No way? Although your Li family's assets have shrunk recently because of your father's admission to the hospital and the group's reorganization, they are not out of money, right?"
"There must be money, and you know my assets, but those funds cannot be moved recently, at least my brother still needs it, so please lend me some money first." Mr. Li said.
"how much?"
"1.8 billion!" Mr. Li said.
"1.8 billion?" Cui Renhao over there muttered, "Borrowing so much? I just received 3 billion in pocket money on my birthday, and you want to borrow 1.8 billion? I still have to buy a new car."
"No... I mean, dollars. Is there any?"
"U.S. dollars?" The guy on the other end of the phone said directly: "Are you crazy? Let alone me, my dad can't lend you so much money. Did you take the wrong medicine and borrow so much money from me?" Where did I get the money for you, I have to think about 1.8 billion won, and you give me the whole dollar, have you taken your medicine?"
Mr. Li: "Then 100 million is fine."
Cui Renhao: "I'm sorry, the music here is too loud and I can't hear it, let's talk about it another day."
Then the phone was hung up.
Mr. Li then called the heir friend of another chaebol, the Ju family.
"Hey, Gu Shengbin, let me borrow some money from you, can you help me get 1.8 billion US dollars?"
"What are you doing with so much money? Are you going to run away? Where can I get so much money?"
"Then you can lend me 500 million first. I know that the property your mother gave you is worth 2 billion! I'll exchange my Samsung stock with you later, how about it?"
"I'm not interested. Your family is in dire straits right now. I don't know when the stock will fall. Once your brother fails to be the heir, Samsung will collapse. Don't fool me. Although I am a dude, I have a brain."
"200 million! Just lend me 200 million, and I will borrow the rest from other people."
"Korean won? If possible, I will remit it to you now. Where are you?"
Mr. Li was so angry that he hung up the phone.
As a last resort, he went to a corner to prevent others from listening to his phone calls, so he had to call one of his aunts.
He asked the bodyguard to say to his aunt pretending to be the kidnapper in English: "
"Hey, Lee Seung-gi is your nephew, right? Now he is kidnapped by us. If you don't want to tear up your ticket, you will need 1.8 billion US dollars to redeem yourself. We know that you are members of the Samsung family and have a lot of money. If you still want him to live, 1.8 billion is less I tear up tickets!"
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he said, "I want him to answer the phone."
The bodyguard handed the phone to Mr. Li, and he said anxiously: "Auntie, you need to save me. I am in the Persian Gulf of Dubai. This big ship has encountered pirates after passing through the land of mercenaries."
"Give it to the kidnapper, and I'll tell him."
Mr. Li handed the phone to the bodyguard, but the other side said to the bodyguard: "That bastard is an illegitimate child, you should tear up your ticket."
Then the phone hung up.
The bodyguard stared blankly at his employer, Mr. Li, and said, "Your aunt let you die outside."
Li Gongzi turned around in anger and walked over to the appraisal report, saying: "I think my stocks are worth 10 billion even if they shrink!"
