This is the first time Wu Yi has come to Meng Jiawan's home. He imagined it to be very luxurious. After all, Meng Huaiyuan has made a lot of money in recent years.
But when Wu Yi walked in, he discovered that the house, which was originally decorated beautifully and should be full of warmth, was actually in a mess.
The living room was in a mess, with all kinds of things thrown all over the floor. It looked like a china shop that had just been hit by an elephant. It was impossible to get out.
Meng Jiawan said with a pale face: "Those people came here and took away all the valuable things..."
Wu Yi suddenly realized that the loan sharks were all inextricably linked to the underworld, and they were all like locusts. They were kind and sweet when they were lending money, but they were vicious when they were collecting debts, and they would do anything to get money.
Fortunately, the sofa was not taken away, Meng Jiawan tidied it up, and the two of them finally had a place to sit.
Gently holding Meng Jiawan in his arms and kissing her on the forehead, Wu Yi asked: "What on earth is going on? Why did uncle borrow usury?"
Meng Jiawan told the story with sobs.
It turns out that this usurious loan was borrowed three months ago.
Meng Huaiyuan has always been engaged in trading. A year ago, after being introduced by a friend, he started a decoration business again.
The real estate market in Songjiang has been very hot in recent years, and housing prices have soared like a rocket. In the past two years alone, they have increased by 30%. Nowadays, in the central city of Songjiang, it is rare to see real estate with a price below 10,000 yuan.
As for the high-end residences along the river, the prices are even more outrageous. Some have a unit price of close to 20,000 yuan per square meter, which is simply not affordable for ordinary people.
But despite this, the house still has no worries about selling, and the decoration market has also prospered. Coupled with the rising labor costs in the past two years, although the competition in this industry is now fierce, the profits are also enviable.
Although Meng Huaiyuan is a newbie in the field of decoration, relying on the introduction of a few friends and some business talents, he actually made several big orders in just one year and made a lot of money.
This small success whetted Meng Huaiyuan's appetite, and he soon set his sights on the renovation project of a clubhouse in a newly developed real estate.
This is a community called "Binjiang Xiaozhu". It has 20 high-rise buildings, nearly 10,000 households, and is equipped with a large clubhouse of 5,000 square meters. A friend of Meng Huaiyuan happened to be in charge of the project of Binjiang Xiaozhu, so he asked him
Do you want to take on this big job?
The clubhouse of 5,000 square meters is still high-end decoration. This kind of project easily costs tens of millions, and the profit is astonishingly high. As soon as Meng Huaiyuan heard about such a good thing, he was immediately tempted.
However, there is a prerequisite for taking over this project, which is that the decoration funds must be paid in advance, and payment can only be made after the developer has completed the acceptance.
Although Meng Huaiyuan's business is doing well, his net worth is actually not very rich, less than ten million at all. In terms of strength, he simply cannot undertake such a huge project.
But people are greedy and ambitious. Meng Huaiyuan didn't want to miss this opportunity to make a lot of money. He gritted his teeth and borrowed millions from relatives and friends, then mortgaged his house and car for millions, and finally went to borrow money again.
After three months of loan sharking, I took on the project with all my heart!
Now, something happened!
The renovation went smoothly at first, and the funds could keep up. Meng Huaiyuan was very motivated to meet the construction deadline. He wanted to complete the project quickly and get the money.
But just when the decoration of the clubhouse was about to be completed, the developer of Binjiang Xiaozhu was suddenly arrested on charges of bribery.
It turns out that the developer had tampered with the land approval. He paid millions in bribes to get the approval. Now that the incident has come to light, he was locked up before the building in the community was completed.
As soon as the developer was caught, there was an immediate commotion, and the construction of the entire community came to a halt. The migrant workers who could not be paid took away everything on the construction site, and the sales office was also empty. Meng Huaiyuan's clubhouse was naturally decorated.
It can’t be done either!
Now Meng Huaiyuan is in a hurry. The developer has been arrested. Even if he completes the decoration project, who should he go to for money?
Before he could come up with a solution, his relatives and friends who heard about the incident came to his home to ask when he would repay the money, and even loan sharks took notice.
All Meng Huaiyuan's money was invested in the project, how could he have any money to pay back? He couldn't bear the pressure, so he had to hide first.
It didn't matter that she was hiding. The loan shark immediately rushed to the door, threw paint, and threatened her. A gangster found out from somewhere that the Ferrari in the parking lot of the community belonged to Meng Jiawan, and asked her to use the car to pay off the debt. After Meng Jiawan refused, he
The car was smashed!
That's what happened. After Meng Jiawan finished speaking, she said haggardly: "Wu Yi... My parents are hiding, and they asked me to stay at my grandma's house for a few days... I don't want to hide, but I don't know what to do.
That’s good!”
"Silly girl, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wu Yi looked at her pitiful look and patted her head gently.
To Wu Yi, millions are really nothing. Not to mention that his stocks will be worth hundreds of millions in the future, and he can borrow hundreds or tens of millions from just asking anyone without even having to pay them back.
"Wu Yi, what do you think I should do?" Meng Jiawan asked.
"Don't worry, I will help my uncle pay back the money." Wu Yidao.
Meng Jiawan was shocked: "How can you have so much money!"
"You don't believe it?" Wu Yi smiled.
Meng Jiawan was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of the things Wu Yi had done and the people she knew.
"But..." Meng Jiawan hesitated, "Why are you helping my father..."
"What's the matter? Your father is my future father-in-law, and I will help him pay back the money. Isn't this a matter of course?" Wu Yi blinked and said.
"Who is your father-in-law!" Meng Jiawan pouted and pinched Wu Yi's arm.
Although she was angry, there was finally a smile on her face.
"Is it possible that you don't plan to marry me in the future? That doesn't matter. At worst, your father will use you as a mortgage, and you will be my maid for the rest of your life. You can warm my bed every day and pay off the debt!" Wu Yi teased her.
"You bad guy!" Meng Jiawan waved her little fist. Her mood had been gloomy for the past few days, and it was only now that she became clear.
Wu Yi was moved by what he saw, and gently pulled Meng Jiawan into his arms. Just as he was about to kiss her, the door suddenly shook violently, and a "bang bang" knock on the door sounded unbridled.
"It's those people!" Meng Jiawan was startled.
Wu Yi's face looked very ugly. He stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
"Open the door! Open the door quickly, I know you are at home!" Someone outside the door shouted wildly and knocked on the door.
Wu Yi walked over and opened the door, and saw three idle gangsters standing at the door, one of whom was holding a paint bucket.
The door suddenly opened, which startled the three gangsters. Especially when they saw the unfamiliar face of Wu Yi, they looked up and down.
"Who is your kid?" the leader of the thugs asked with an arrogant look.
The next second, he saw Meng Jiawan behind Wu Yi, and then he chuckled and said, "Oh, are you here to protect the little girl?"
As he spoke, he said impatiently: "Little girl, where are your parents and your mother? Why don't you pay back the money! If you don't pay back the money, we will repossess the house!"
While he was talking, he reached out his hand to push Wu Yi away rudely.
Wu Yi raised his hand, blocked his hand in mid-air, and said calmly: "You'd better be polite."
"Ouch!" The gangster was startled and looked at Wu Yi with a very unkind look, "Young man, you have character! What's going on, are you going to stand up for her?"
"Don't you just want money... How much money does she owe? I'll pay it back for her," Wu Yidao said.
The gangster's eyes widened, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly burst out laughing, holding his belly in his hands. The other two gangsters did the same, laughing so hard that they almost knocked over the paint bucket!
"I said, little brother, you are so humorous and funny! You pay back the money for her? Hahaha, do you know how much she owes? Just pay it back for her. You are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue! Boy
, I tell you, you should save your pocket money to buy candies!" the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked gangster laughed.
"You don't need to worry about whether I can pay it back. Just tell me..." Wu Yidao.
The gangster saw that Wu Yi looked serious and didn't look like he was joking, so he couldn't help but said: "Hey, is he a rich second generation? Okay, then you can pay it back for her. The total with interest is 47,500,000!"
"What!" Meng Jiawan exclaimed, "How can there be so many? It was said the day before yesterday that there were only four million!"
"You also said that was the day before yesterday. Don't you know that we are loan sharking? Do you want me to educate you on what loan sharking means? USury means interest compounding! The day before yesterday was indeed four million, and today it is four hundred and seventy.
It's fifty thousand. In two days, ten million won't be enough!" The gangster snorted coldly, "How about it, boy, can you help her pay it back?"
Wu Yi said calmly: "How much principal did her father borrow from you?"
"Not much, 2.4 million." The gangster chuckled, stretched out a finger to press his nostrils, and answered while picking.
"Two million and four hundred thousand, after borrowing it for three months, it becomes four million seven hundred and fifty thousand... very good, it has doubled." Wu Yidao, "You are making too much profit, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense, no one forced you to borrow money at knifepoint. It was clearly written in the contract, and the interest was not overcharged at all." The gangster said with a cruel smile, "Boy, you must not have paid it yet.
Well, stop pretending to be a hero here and go play in the mud."
He then said to Meng Jiawan: "Little girl, our brother Sun said that if you don't pay back the money, it will not just be as simple as taking over the house. He will issue a murder order and arrest your parents all over the world. After he is caught...hehe
, put it into a sack and throw it into the river to feed the fish! Lest anyone think that they can not pay back the money they borrowed!"
"But..." He changed the topic again, "This matter is not non-negotiable. If you want to solve the problem, come to this address to see Brother Sun tomorrow. As long as the negotiation is good, the account will not be written off.
question!"
As he spoke, he handed over a business card and tapped the address on it with his finger.
Wu Yi was already planning to help the Meng family pay back the money, but when he saw the gangster stuffing a business card with a lewd smile on his face, he changed his mind slightly.
"Written off, is it true?" Wu Yi asked.
"Of course!" The gangster laughed, "Little girl, Brother Sun rarely gives people opportunities, so you must seize it, otherwise, your parents will be in trouble!" (To be continued...)
