Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 470 Du Bozhong Seeks His Own Death! Gao Yuliang Yearns for Progress!

Three hundred million? In US dollars?

Zhao Ruilong was so angry he laughed.

I really don't know where Du Bozhong gets his confidence from.

How dare they ask for such an exorbitant amount? Aren't they afraid of earning it but not being able to spend it?

Three hundred million US dollars!

At the current exchange rate of nearly 8.28, this is equivalent to nearly 25 billion.

Such a large sum of money, if converted into cash, could form a small mountain.

If converted to gold at a price of 63.5 yuan per gram, it would weigh over thirty tons.

To receive such a huge sum of money.

Whether in mainland China or Hong Kong, they can easily make it onto the rich list.

Du Bozhong is asking for such a large sum of money; isn't he just greedy?

"Yes! Three hundred million US dollars!"

Du Bozhong put his right hand down and put it back in his pocket.

"Brother, there's no need for you to look at me with such surprise."

“I know that my contributions are definitely not worth that much.”

"But you have used your amazing internet technology to make hundreds of billions of US dollars overseas."

"Even if it's just because we've known each other, you should at least share some with me, shouldn't you?"

"Besides, wasn't all that money stolen by you? Give me some, and I'll keep your secret!"

Zhao Ruilong narrowed his eyes slightly.

You'll keep my secret if I give you some?

If we don't separate, won't you be exposed?

Such a blatant threat, and they're extorting so much money.

It seems you, Du Bozhong, truly don't know how to write the word "death."

Forget 300 million, it's fucking US dollars.

Even with 300,000 yuan, someone would dare to take your life.

After all, it was only 2002, and there were still many people in China who couldn't earn 10,000 yuan even after a year of hard work.

but……

There was clearly no need to turn on Du Bozhong on the spot, given that he was obsessed with money.

Today is another auspicious day for my father's promotion and my daughter-in-law's birthday.

There's no need to get angry with such a treacherous and opportunistic person.

"Yes, you should get a share."

"If it weren't for you, Huilong Group wouldn't have been able to register and establish itself in Hong Kong smoothly and enjoy the treatment of foreign-invested enterprises."

"It is precisely because of your help, as a local expert in Hong Kong, that we have been able to make full use of Hong Kong, a financially developed free trade port city, and do a lot of things that are beneficial to the development and growth of the group."

Du Bozhong chuckled.

"Hey, Brother Ruilong, you're absolutely right!"

"Everyone says you have a broad perspective, and I think that's absolutely true. You really do have a broad perspective!"

“If your second sister had even half your vision, I wouldn’t have needed to make this trip; we could have settled it over the phone.”

As he spoke, Du Bozhong took out his right hand and gave Zhao Ruilong a thumbs up.

Zhao Ruilong relaxed his brow.

After glancing around, he asked with a smile:

"But Lao Du, could you reduce the price of 300 million US dollars a bit?"

"As you know, our group has invested in many projects, and we burn through a lot of money every day."

Du Bozhong stroked his chin with a grin.

“Brother, you’ve made six or seven hundred billion US dollars in total, and I’m only asking you for three hundred million US dollars.”

"Don't even mention a few percent, mine is less than two per thousand, isn't that small enough?"

Zhao Ruilong said with a wry smile, "But the vast majority of it has already been invested and used up!"

"Moreover, it's almost the end of the year, and there are many large projects that still need to settle payments. The group's funds are really tight."

"Also, you should have heard that my dad is about to be transferred away from Handong. In order to help him achieve political results as soon as possible, I need to invest more."

Du Bozhong frowned and sneered.

"Brother, I was just saying you have a broad perspective, why are you complaining to me about being poor now?"

"Who doesn't know that our Huilong Group's overseas investments and acquisitions often involve hundreds of millions of US dollars?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled.

"But in business, there has to be some bargaining involved, right?"

"How can you say what price you want and expect me to agree to it without even trying to negotiate?"

Du Bozhong sneered, "Fine, fine, I'll give you ten million less, okay?"

"Only ten million less? Is my face, Zhao Ruilong's face, so worthless?"

Zhao Ruilong put his hands on his hips, deliberately looking unhappy.

"Then name a number!"

Du Bozhong smiled, but his eyes held a mixture of eagerness and greed.

He was clearly quite satisfied with the large sum of money he was about to receive.

"One hundred million!"

Zhao Ruilong casually quoted a price.

Anyway, they just wanted to keep Du Bozhong in check for the time being, and they didn't really intend to give it to him.

"No way? One hundred million? You're cutting two hundred million like that? That's too ruthless!"

After shaking his head, Du Bozhong tried to bargain again.

"Since you're a decent person, I'll reduce the price by another ten million, making it two hundred and eighty million. That's the lowest I can go!"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "One hundred and twenty million, that's the most I can do!"

"you!!"

Du Bozhong glared at him.

He looked very angry and dissatisfied.

After pacing around in place for a few moments, it suddenly stopped.

"Let's each compromise a little more, how about two hundred million?"

"That way, you get a discount, I get a lower price, and we can part ways amicably without hurting our feelings."

Zhao Ruilong pretended to hesitate and pondered for a while.

"Okay, I agree, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

Du Bozhong beamed with joy, unable to contain his excitement.

Two hundred million US dollars!

At the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Once you get such a large windfall.

Not only would it solve his immediate problem, but the remaining money would also be enough for him to live a carefree and happy life.

So, how could he possibly control his excitement at suddenly becoming rich like winning the lottery?

Zhao Ruilong spoke with feigned seriousness, as if it were a serious matter:

"It's not that I don't trust you, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and I have to be on guard."

"So my condition is that I must split this money into two payments."

"One payment is 50 million after you assist in completing all the procedures and fully withdraw from Huilong Group."

"The remaining 150 million is essentially a confidentiality fee, which I will pay in installments over five years, with 30 million given to you each year."

"This will ensure that you will not leak the secrets of my Huilong Group for five years, and it will also benefit you personally."

"If I give you it all at once, what if you squander it all on drinking, gambling, whoring, and drugs? Are you going to ask me for it again? That's why I'm giving it to you in five years; it's for your own good!"

"This……"

Du Bozhong frowned and thought for a moment.

"The idea is good. The second payment will be made in installments over five years, which is a guarantee for both of us."

"How about the first installment of 100 million? The remaining 100 million can be paid in five installments over five years, exactly 20 million per year!"

Zhao Ruilong feigned hesitation for a few seconds.

"Alright, but you have to promise me you'll leave Huilong Group this month!"

"That's easy. Isn't that why I came back here?"

Du Bozhong extended his right hand and asked with a smile:

"The big meeting is starting tomorrow. Haven't you heard any rumors yet about where your dad is being transferred to?"

Zhao Ruilong retorted, "Do you think this is your Hong Kong triad electing a leader? A few uncles and elders get together for a cup of tea and decide who will be the leader?"

"That's true. With such a major personnel change, things are always unpredictable until the very last moment!"

Seeing that Zhao Ruilong had no intention of shaking hands, Du Bozhong reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhao Ruilong raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, no more!"

Du Bozhong shook his head with a smile.

Zhao Ruilong put one hand in his pocket and walked away.

The guard who was originally sitting in the passenger seat of the Land Rover M9 immediately got out of the car and opened the rear door.

"Ruilong, thank you!"

Du Bozhong couldn't help but shout it out.

As Zhao Ruilong was about to board the car, he turned his head and glanced sideways.

Seeing Du Bozhong's smug and ugly grin, I laughed speechlessly.

Lacking sufficient strength, they fantasize about getting rich quick through extortion.

They also extorted money from the son of a top-ranking nobleman.

Isn't this a classic case of courting death?

Anyone with a modicum of rationality can recognize reality.

One should know that being able to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy is an incredible stroke of luck.

Why not just be a mascot?

You can make a fortune without doing anything.

This is an incredible stroke of luck that many people could only dream of.

Even if you're a little greedy, as long as it's not excessive, nothing will happen.

On the contrary, it will make the powerful feel that they have something to hold over them and can use it with confidence.

But their greed was insatiable. Believing they had leverage over the powerful, they began to extort them.

Isn't this just overestimating one's own abilities and courting death?

Once inside the car, the guard closed the door.

Zhao Ruilong immediately took out his phone and sent a message to his second sister.

While Du Bozhong is back, let's quickly finish the formalities.

Once he leaves Huilong Group, he'll be nothing more than a piece of meat on a chopping board, to be slaughtered however one pleases.

He thought he could use the secrets he possessed to blackmail the Zhao family, but little did he know that it would only hasten his death!

of course.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

After Zhao Ruilong finished talking with his second sister, he asked Liu Sheng to investigate Du Bozhong carefully.

This guy is ostensibly a reporter for "Mirror Weekly," but in reality, he's already Zhao Ruilong's intelligence chief.

Previously, he had come to Jingzhou to inquire about Huo Siteng's safety on behalf of Kong Zhiyong, but Zhao Ruilong caught him red-handed.

Zhao Ruilong, who valued talent and needed reliable intelligence sources, accepted Liu Sheng's oath of loyalty and secretly funded his development of an intelligence network.

One of the most important advantages was that it allowed him to arrange for people to collect local political and business intelligence at Huilong Hotels, which are located in major cities across the country.

Because of its high-end status, excellent service, strong background, and status as a nationwide chain, Huilong Hotel has become the first choice for local political and business elites to hold banquets and stay in major cities.

People from China also have a particular fondness for discussing matters over drinks, whether it's business collaborations or power transactions. It's as if they can't have a proper discussion without eating and drinking.

Moreover, when people are drunk and relaxed, it's inevitable that some will say inappropriate things.

Perhaps it's to show off how capable they are, how extensive their network is, and how well-informed they are.

Or perhaps it was simply to find topics to talk about so that the dinner wouldn't become awkward.

In any case, local political and business secrets came out easily during their casual conversation.

Liu Shengyuan continuously collected and summarized the chat information of these people.

Through extensive comparative analysis, the truth can be basically determined.

Moreover, they have invested in building Huilong hotels, opening Huilong chain internet cafes and Land Rover 4S stores in various locations, and distributing various electronic products through agents at all levels...

Numerous investment and business activities inevitably involve contact with political and business figures in various regions. Once a cooperative relationship is established, it is not difficult to obtain intelligence from them.

This way.

With strong support, Liu Sheng quickly became the most powerful intelligence broker at the Three Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong.
