Chapter 368: Meeting the Old Man Again

As dawn breaks, the sky gradually turns pale, the morning light appears, and a new day arrives quietly.

Li Xuewu had already dressed neatly, and all the clothes on his body were carefully selected by Chen Xueru and others. He sat in the living room, waiting quietly.

This feeling is like ancient officials going to court, they need to wait patiently for the emperor's summons.

Since the moment he opened his eyes, Li Xuewu didn't dare to eat or drink easily. Even if he was extremely thirsty, he could only take small sips of water to moisten his throat.

Because he knows very well that if he cannot control his diet, then when talking with the elderly, frequent trips to the toilet may affect the entire communication process.

Finally, when the car that came to pick him up arrived, Li Xuewu stepped into the car with a sense of relief. After passing through a series of strict security checkpoints, he successfully entered the compound.

This was his second time to visit the old man, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. However, compared to the nervousness when they first met, it was now a little relieved.

After staying for a while at the secretariat, a staff member came to inform that the old man was free at the moment and a meeting could be arranged.

So, Li Xuewu followed the staff to the reception room. At this time, the old man's hair was completely white, but he was energetic and his eyes were bright.

After seeing Li Xuewu, the old man stretched out his hand to him and said in Mandarin with a Sichuan accent: "Xiao Li, it has been several years since we last met!"

Li Xuewu quickly took two steps, held the old man's hands with both hands, and said excitedly: "Hello, old man, yes, it has been more than ten years since the last time, and you are still so energetic!"

“Hahaha, no, I’m too old. I used to be able to eat three or two taels of rice for one meal, but now I can’t eat that much!” The old man laughed heartily and waved his hands.

Li Xuewu said quickly: "Don't say that, you are in good health!"

"Come sit down and talk!" The old man pointed to the seat next to him and motioned Li Xuewu to sit down. Then, the old man picked up the cigarettes on the table, handed one to Li Xuewu, lit one for himself, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

He looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "I have heard their reports. You have done a very good job in Hong Kong Island. You have made an indispensable contribution to maintaining stability!"

"It's all for the country, so I have no choice but to do it. ZTE was originally established to ensure market stability when we return. That was what Minister Zhao and I planned at the time!" Li Xuewu said seriously.

"Well, that's great! We have to think ahead to be safe. So what are your plans for after your return?" the old man asked amiably.

Li Xuewu's heart suddenly tightened, and he wondered if he had done too much and exceeded the expectations of his superiors, causing them to worry that they would lose control of the situation?

Thinking of this, Li Xuewu hurriedly replied respectfully: "Commander, I think that after the return, ZTE's historical mission will be completed. As for how to deal with the company, it can be decided by the higher-ups.

If the higher-ups decide to disband the group right now, we won’t hesitate; if the higher-ups send someone to take over, we will also actively cooperate. In short, we will resolutely obey the organization’s arrangements!”

The old man smiled and waved his hands: "Hahahaha, Xiao Li, don't be so nervous, I'm just asking casually, there's no need to be so restrained.

You have worked so hard to achieve what you have today, how can you just disband it? Of course, the higher-ups may send some people to ZTE, so I hope you can be mentally prepared. "

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I understand this. In fact, when Minister Zhao retired, He Qiang and I wanted to hand over the actual control, but he did not agree with us."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Your work is very important. Not only can we not lay off employees, but we must continue to increase the number of employees. You are our country's window for external exchanges and the front line."

Li Xuewu suddenly realized that the old man wanted to build Zhongxing Group into a brand new organization. He quickly expressed his willingness to follow the organization's arrangements and make greater contributions to the country.

After the two chatted for a while about the situation in Hong Kong and reform and opening up, the old man asked Li Xuewu if he had any other requests.

Li Xuewu was secretly delighted, knowing that the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

He smiled and said to the old man: "Actually, I do have a small request."

The old man asked with great interest: "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Li Xuewu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I want to borrow some money from you."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Why? Are you, a big boss, short of money? My salary is not that much!"

Li Xuewu also explained with a smile: "I'm not borrowing a little from you. I have something important to do!"

"Let me guess what you're going to do? You want to rob Xiaoshi, and you're also going to rob the bear, right?"

When Li Xuewu heard this, he smiled and said, "Hehehe, you are wise!"

"Then tell me, how much do you plan to borrow?" the old man asked directly.

Li Xuewu took a deep breath, then stretched out a finger and said solemnly: "100 billion US dollars!"

"How much?" The old man's eyes widened in shock. "Do you know how much our foreign exchange reserves are now? There are only more than 200 billion in total, and you want to borrow half of it!"

Li Xuewu knew that this figure was shocking, but he still said firmly: "I know it's difficult, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In one to two years at most, I can definitely make several times the profit from my daily life, and maybe I can get even more from the bears!"

The old man frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked up, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Is this your plan?"

Li Xuewu nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with firm determination.

"Okay, I'll lend you the money, but you can only use it for one year at most. Construction in all parts of the country requires a lot of investment! This has delayed many projects so I'm lending it to you!" After thinking for a moment, the old man finally nodded in agreement.

Is it that simple? Li Xuewu found it a little unbelievable. He originally thought that he would have to spend more time talking.

"Aren't you afraid that I will pay you back?" he asked tentatively.

"Hahaha, I'm not afraid. If you lose money, I will confiscate your car factory, real estate company and all your properties in Hong Kong Island. That will be enough to make up for my losses. You can also work for me for free, so why not?" The old man showed a sly smile, as if he had already calculated everything.

Hearing this, Li Xuewu felt relieved, but soon his eyes became firm.

"Okay, then I'll take it. Even if I have to spend all my family fortune, I'll still make a living!" He gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

For him, this is not only a business challenge, but also a responsibility and obligation.

"It's settled then. I'll have someone prepare it. Just call me whenever you need it. I'll have them call you." The old man smiled and nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with Li Xuewu's decision.
