Xie Chenglong didn't expect that Li Mu would speak so eloquently. He said "Wei Lan is just an employee of mine", which destroyed half of his strong reliance.
Indeed, Wei Lan is just his employee, not his woman. If he were the boss, he would not be able to pay more than 100 million yuan for a female employee. No matter how beautiful she is, it is not worth it.
Xie Chenglong's inner arrogance was wiped out by Li Mu's words, and he was even a little panicked for a while. He didn't know how to regain his arrogance. The biggest reliance for kidnapping and extortion is the hostage. If the hostage is not important enough to the person being blackmailed, then But he is really passive.
Xie Chenglong suddenly thought of what Song Zhilei had said to him before, and then realized that he had missed a major clue, and immediately said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to pay, don't you owe Wei Lan 800 million? Just return the money to her in advance and let her pay for it, is that okay?"
Originally, Song Zhilei had this intention, to coerce Wei Lan and ask Wei Lan to ask Li Mu for her own money to redeem her life. However, Xie Chenglong was too into the drama and pretended to be coquettish with Li Mu from the very beginning. Li Mu seized the opportunity and said It overwhelmed him.
As soon as Li Mu heard that Xie Chenglong had been fooled by him, he knew that his plan had worked. Once the other party's arrogance was reduced, his own initiative became much greater.
Seeing that Li Mu didn't respond, Xie Chenglong immediately said, "I'll turn on the speaker and let her tell you personally."
After saying that, Xie Chenglong threatened Wei Lan and said: "Tell him, just say that the money is just for him to pay on your behalf. In fact, it is completely borne by you."
Wei Lan felt uneasy at the moment. From what it meant, it seemed that Li Mu didn't buy Xie Chenglong's previous threats. Did he really not care about his life or death
However, the current situation did not allow her to think too much. She could only follow Xie Chenglong's request and repeated: "Mr. Li, please pay the money on my behalf. I will bear it entirely myself in the future!"
Li Mu didn't dare to show off too much at this time. He had to be cautious and cautious in the secret fight with the kidnappers about initiative. If the kidnappers were too passive, they would realize that the hostages were worthless and they might break up the vote in anger. indefinite.
He was about to agree first and stabilize the robber, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Li Mu felt that even if he called the police, before the police investigated the case, they had to go back and find out how Wei Lan disappeared, starting from the very beginning. Looking for clues, I don’t know how long it will take to find valuable clues. As a smart woman like Wei Lan, as a person who has experienced it, she must have many valuable clues. The problem now is that Wei Lan can only Speaking according to the other party's request will not reveal any useful value at all.
So Li Mu changed his mind and said calmly: "Weilan, it's okay for me to pay 100 million for you first. To be honest, the 800 million is your money, so it's okay even if I pay 200 million for you."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Chenglong felt ecstatic.
This is the attitude he wants. Anyway, it's Wei Lan's money and Wei Lan pays the bill. You, Li Mu, just need to use her money to save her. You won't feel bad if it's not your own money.
However, at this time, Li Mu changed the topic and said: "But Wei Lan, you are also in business, and you know what empty words are. I did promise you 800 million. It was written in black and white in the contract and I Signed to confirm, now you ask me to pay more than 100 million to the kidnappers for you first, just by talking. If I give the money and they let you go, what will you do if you turn your back and refuse to admit it? Then what should I do? Isn't more than 100 million wasted? The risk is too great!"
Wei Lan was still feeling uneasy about Li Mu's attitude just now, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that Li Mu was acting!
Although I have not known Li Mu for a long time, I know Li Mu's style of doing things. Isn't it because of his courage, grandeur, passion and sense of social responsibility that I fell in love with this man? With his own eyesight, it is absolutely impossible for Li Mu to say such things. The only possibility is that he is acting.
Xie Chenglong didn't expect that Li Mu would have such concerns. If this guy really didn't dare to give money because of this concern, then this would be really blind!
So, he immediately said: "Li, what tricks do you want to play? Do you still want her to sign a contract with you first?"
Li Mu said innocently: "Please, I am a businessman. If you ask me to spend more than 100 million without getting any proof, would you like it if it were you?"
"I..." Xie Chenglong felt a little timid at the moment. He wanted to say harshly: "If you try any more tricks, I'll kill her immediately!", but he was afraid that Li Mu would suddenly reply: "Okay, then you can do it, I'm going to bed." "In that case, what will you do? Could it be said: "Mr. Li, please don't rush to bed yet, let's discuss it later?"
Xie Chenglong was so anxious that he couldn't help cursing in his heart: Damn it, why did something that was good at first become so passive all of a sudden? He came here to seek money, and it was Song Zhilei's request to kill Wei Lan. If he couldn't get the money in the end and only killed Wei Lan, then he would be in a big loss. He, Song Zhilei, went to Australia and committed a murder. But I can't get a penny, and I'm hiding here and there. Isn't that a fool's errand
The thoughtful Wei Lan saw that Xie Chenglong was a little panicked at the moment, and asked him in a tentative low voice: "Can I beg him?"
When Xie Chenglong heard this, he completely forgot about the three chapters of agreement he had made with Wei Lan. In his opinion, the only one who could tell Li Mu not to worry so much and give the money first was Wei Lan.
So Xie Chenglong brought the phone to her, took out a sharp dagger with his other hand, pointed the tip at Wei Lan and warned: "Don't play tricks!"
The first thing Wei Lan said when she came up was in a tearful tone: "Mr. Li, please help me. Give them the money for me first. I swear to God, the first thing I will do when I get back is make up for a contract with you and put this money back together." The money will be deducted from the 800 million!"
Li Mulian hesitated for a moment, seemingly hesitating, but actually he was wondering if there was any valuable information in Wei Lan's words. After pondering for a moment, he felt that there was no potential content, and then he realized that he had to let Wei Lan say more. a little.
So, Li Mu smacked his lips and said: "Weilan, it's not that I don't want to help, but this is more than 100 million in cash! How can you let me advance so much money for you without any proof?"
Weilan begged: "Mr. Li, I have been cooperating with you for a long time. You must know very well what kind of person I am. I have no relatives or friends in China who can help with such a serious matter now. My parents are here." I'm abroad, and my family has suffered such a big change, and I can't afford so much money. The only one I can ask for is you. Please believe me and help me this time no matter what, please!"
Wei Lan's tone was particularly sincere and humble. Li Mu intuitively told Li Mu that Wei Lan had reached a tacit understanding with him, but he still didn't hear anything valuable in her words, so he had to let her say more!
Xie Chenglong was also listening to the conversation between Wei Lan and Li Mu word by word at this moment, for fear that Wei Lan would reveal some dangerous information. Fortunately, Wei Lan's words were all pleading with Li Mu. It can be said that he was very cooperative with him, and I couldn't hear anything that contained any hidden meaning, so I felt a lot more relaxed.
At this time, Li Mu still continued to hold his head, but his tone became a little looser, and he said a little embarrassed and tangled: "Wei Lan, to be honest, I also want to help you, and I don't want anything to happen to you, but after all, it's more than 100 million. The amount of cash is really too big, and I have my reasons for worrying... "
Wei Lan was crying bitterly at this time, and said with some despair and excitement: "Mr. Li, I know that you have always insisted on not being soft-hearted or merciful when doing business, but you must know that I am not your competitor! I I am your employee and your partner. At this time, you cannot apply the same principles you apply to your opponents to me! Moreover, if you don’t help me, if I die and the matter spreads, you What do so many employees think of you? You also have to worry about the stability of your team!"
Li Mu's brain buzzed at this moment! I was so excited that I almost jumped out of my chair!
Wei Lan, Wei Lan, you are so smart! ! !
"You can't be soft-hearted and you can't be kind." Li Mu clearly remembered saying similar words only once!
That time, he was determined to acquire 20% of Song Zhilei's shares at a valuation of 100 million. At that time, Wei Lan obviously softened his heart. He only said one sentence: "You can be soft-hearted, but I will not be merciful!"
At this time, Wei Lan said these two sentences, and Li Mu almost instantly concluded that the message Wei Lan wanted to convey to him was these two sentences! The one who kidnapped her must be Song Zhilei!
After confirming this, Li Mu decided to immediately stop the entangled scene, sighed, and said: "Okay, I believe you this time, I will pay the money for you first, and I will make up for it immediately after you regain your freedom." Sign an agreement!”
When Wei Lan heard this, she also guessed that Li Mu had understood what he wanted to convey. She burst into tears of excitement and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you..."
The reason why Wei Lan was so excited that she couldn't stop crying was because she believed that Li Mu would be able to find a way to save her. The situation that she originally thought she would be dead saw the light of day again because of him!
Xie Chenglong didn't doubt it at all. He even felt that Wei Lan's cooperation was far beyond his expectations. It seemed that his threat had a great effect.
Hearing Li Mu's promise, Xie Chenglong immediately picked up his phone and said, "Mr. Li, since you agreed, I will give you 24 hours. At this time tomorrow night, I will call you to inform you of the method of payment. and location.”
"Stop dreaming." Li Mu immediately said in a calm tone: "It is simply impossible to collect so much cash within 24 hours, especially US dollars. Do you know how difficult it is to get foreign exchange now?"
Xie Chenglong said: "This is not negotiable. We must get it together within 24 hours, otherwise..."
Li Mu interrupted him and said calmly: "Don't be cruel to me here. What I told you is the truth. I have plenty of money, but the cash in RMB and US dollars will have to wait until I go to the bank tomorrow to settle it bit by bit. Although It is said to be 24 hours, but the bank only works ten hours a day. Even if I call the bank early tomorrow morning to make an appointment, it will be impossible to withdraw so many RMB and US dollar cash before the bank closes. Yes, it will have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Mu added: "You don't have to bargain with me. Since Weilan pays for it himself, I will naturally give the money to you. But I need 48 hours to raise cash. Unless you agree to a half discount, I I can give it to you within 24 hours.”
Xie Chenglong thought for a while, and combined with Li Mu's overall performance and the whole process of reluctantly agreeing, he really didn't dare to refuse Li Mu's request for 48 hours. He could only grit his teeth and said: "Okay! Just 48 hours!"
Li Mu hummed and warned him: "In these 48 hours, you have to take care of Wei Lan! If there is anything wrong with her, I will never pay you this money!"
After saying that, Li Mu added: "If I pay the money, but Wei Lan dies in your hands, not only will I give you more than 100 million in vain, but in the future I will also pay her the 800 million in accordance with the law." Parents, I will never take this kind of risk, so if you want to get the money, before I hand over the money, call me every three hours and ask Wei Lan to talk to me personally to make sure she is still alive. !”
Xie Chenglong completely believed Li Mu's theory, which was completely flawless, so he could only say: "Don't worry, I will definitely ensure her safety, but it is unrealistic to make a call every three hours. Let's do it at 12 noon." I will call you and let Wei Lan speak to you first."
Li Mu didn't dare to push too hard, so he said, "OK, I'll wait for your call at 12 noon tomorrow!"
