However, the loan was obtained unexpectedly smoothly, even beyond Jiang Chen's imagination.
Carmen's execution efficiency was very high, and a bilingual contract in Chinese and English was delivered to him the next day.
After Jiang Chen signed, the US$30 billion was transferred from the British Rothschild Bank to Futureman International's account in a Swiss bank. After finishing the loan, Carmen flew back to Europe.
Before leaving, he handed the invitation letter to the Munich Auto Show to Jiang Chen and shook hands with Jiang Chen warmly to say goodbye.
After putting the European tycoon on the plane, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu left the airport.
Xia Shiyu couldn't wait to ask as soon as she got in the car.
"Did you really borrow $30 billion?"
"Of course, am I still joking?" Jiang Chen laughed.
Looking seriously into Jiang Chen's eyes, Xia Shiyu sighed as if giving up, "Huh... Okay, can you tell me your plan? How are you going to spend your family this time?"
"Prodigal? You can't say that about me, right?" Jiang Chen said helplessly.
However, the way Xia Shiyu looked at him clearly expressed one meaning - "What if this isn't a prodigal?"
"A 4.5% interest rate, do you know how much money this means you will have to pay back in five years? 37.385 billion! And this is in US dollars!" Xia Shiyu couldn't help but say.
Nearly 40 billion US dollars is enough to buy half of Baidu.
"Don't worry, what I pledged is my personal shares, not the company's assets. Even if I can't pay back the money by then, you won't be affected in any way." Jiang Chen comforted her with a smile.
Seemingly dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's statement, Xia Shiyu said coldly, "Who do you think I'm worried about?"
Jiang Chen was slightly startled, the smile on his face became a little playful, and he said with a mischievous smile, "Oh? So, you are worried about me."
Hearing this, Xia Shiyu's aggressive momentum suddenly stopped. The cheeks gradually turned red.
She looked away, started the car, and stopped looking at Jiang Chen.
"I, I just don't want to change my boss. I'm very satisfied with the current working environment. Although, although the chairman doesn't know anything, it is sometimes very troublesome, but the company's operations are fully delegated to capable people. This is commendable. It would be terrible if we had a boss who doesn't know how to pretend to understand and likes to point fingers."
The black bangs just blocked the side of her face. It took a lot of effort for Jiang Chen to hear the explanation that was as thin as a mosquito's moan and spoke so fast.
Seeing that Xia Shiyu, who was usually cold and cold, actually cared about him so much, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and couldn't help but say words of comfort.
"Don't worry, it's only over 30 billion. What is the market value of Futureman Technology now? It's 10 billion, right. I'll double it tenfold in two years."
"..."
Xia Shiyu chose to remain silent in response to Jiang Chen's unreasonable bragging.
Seeing Xia Shiyu's obviously disbelieving expression, Jiang Chen smiled and then said, "Since you don't believe it, then we might as well make a bet."
"Bet? Okay. When you are bankrupt, come be my secretary and let me take care of you for a few years." Xia Shiyu teased.
"No problem." Jiang Chen laughed, "But what if I win?"
"It's up to you." Xia Shiyu raised her lips slightly as she flipped her hair.
It was said to be a bet, but in fact it was just a quarrel between friends, and she didn't pay much attention to it. Subconsciously, Xia Shiyu still believed that Jiang Chen would have a way to solve this matter. As for why she believed in him so much, she couldn't explain.
Jiang Chen smiled narrowly and said in a joking tone. "Follow me? Really?"
Noticing Jiang Chen's gaze, Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and her fair cheeks turned red again.
However, this time she didn't say anything, she just hid her expression behind her bangs.
... ...
In the early morning light. A plane slowly appeared over Berlin. Under the guidance of the pilot, the private jet landed slowly and then parked on the private jet's exclusive runway.
A black Mercedes-Benz sedan parked next to the aircraft door, and an old man dressed as a butler walked out of it and waited quietly at the door of the car.
The ramp truck drove up to the door and soon the hatch opened. A European got off the plane first.
The old butler bowed respectfully to Carmen and greeted him in pure Germanic, "Welcome home, Master Carmen."
"Long time no see, Mr. Thaddeus. How is your father?" Carmen said pleasantly.
"Very good, the master has recently become obsessed with sailing." The old butler said respectfully, while elegantly opening the car door for him.
"Sailing? Let me guess, he's in Florence now?"
Florence is a coastal city on the Mediterranean Sea, and Carmen vaguely remembers a family property there.
"No, he is in Germany, in the manor in Bavaria." The butler shook his head.
"Bavaria?"
Is it near the sea? Carmen frowned slightly.
"I hope you can take some time to go back home."
"Of course, I just want to meet him too." Carmen said with a smile, and then sat in the back seat of the car.
Johnson took a step forward and sat next to Carmen.
The housekeeper just glanced at the black bodyguard, said nothing, sat in the driver's seat, and performed his duties as a driver.
"Have you removed the needle from the USB flash drive?" Carmen whispered.
"It's been removed... It's really unbelievable. What kind of technology does that Chinese guy have?" Johnson couldn't help but say.
"Maybe it was an advanced radio shielding technology, who knows... Fortunately they didn't find anything," Carmen said.
Carmen has no doubt about this. He can roughly guess whether a person's words are true or false from the change in his expression. Without professional lie detection training, he will never be able to escape his eyes.
The car quickly drove into a manor. The manor's servant took Johnson to the guest room where the guests lived, while the old housekeeper led Carmen to the backyard of the manor.
Following the bluestone path across the lawn, Carmen saw her father next to the cabin at the manor's artificial lake.
Iacono Rothschild.
This once-powerful financial tycoon, who once led the Rothschild family out of the haze of World War II and emerged in the late Cold War, is wearing a plain shirt and sitting on the shore of the lake, sawing wood.
After the birth of his youngest son Carmen, he gave up the position of head of the Rothschild family to his cousin, and then lived a life of a recluse. Although he is no longer involved in family affairs, no one in the family will question his influence. After all, it was he who turned the tide and saved this family whose life was hanging by a thread.
It is precisely for this reason that Carmen attaches so much importance to her father's summons. As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed from Berlin to this manor in Bavaria without stopping.
However, when he saw his father sitting among a pile of "rotten wood" and tinkering with a saw, he was stunned. (.)
