Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 899 - 901: Losing Money Is Out of the Question
No matter how Zhao Guangran tried to persuade Chu Ling, the final result was to proceed according to his plan.
As for the financing, Gong Ruini wondered if they could use the courtyard house as collateral to get a bank loan.
"You mean to have Uncle and the others pitch in?" Borrowing from them, would they be willing? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Gong Ruini hesitated a bit; if they didn’t include them in the fortune-making plan, what if they felt snubbed?
Gong Ruini was really worried, and Zhao Guangran was equally concerned, "What if they want to invest?"
"Can’t we just go to the bank?" Zhao Guangran was also considering getting a bank loan.
Though there would be interest to pay, it was definitely better than potentially having the elders snatch a share.
They’re not courteous at all; as long as they think it’s a profitable venture, they’ll demand a big share.
"Going to the bank, we don’t have jobs." Zhao Xuran had tried approaching the bank, but was immediately turned down.
"Many people previously took loans and then didn’t pay back; the bank has too much uncollected money." Zhao Xuran was quite annoyed.
Zhao Xuran couldn’t understand how people could borrow money and not repay it, which was really untrustworthy, and now it’s preventing them from taking out loans.
Oh, is that so? "Can’t we use our property as collateral?" Gong Ruini didn’t understand; with house prices in Beijing going up, if they couldn’t repay the loan, the house would be taken, but wouldn’t it still break even?
"There’s no such service." Zhao Xuran didn’t deal much with banks; even if there was, it would be in the name of the company, and banks would definitely welcome loans.
But in their personal capacity, Zhao Xuran was powerless, "Unless we can get dad to agree to be the guarantor."
Oh, Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran just realized that they hoped the adults would guarantee their loans.
Gong Ruini felt this was necessary, and Zhao Guangran agreed.
Thus, a guarantee application was placed before the parents.
Zhao Gang thought the kids had come up with some new venture, perhaps a money-making idea, and when he took a look, he was truly stunned.
"Why do I feel a bit heart-strained?" Alas, Zhao Gang looked at Zhao Xuran with resentment.
This matter definitely involved his eldest, but why was such an important thing not even discussed with him?
Heart-strained? What are they up to again? Gong Tao casually snatched the paper from Zhao Gang’s hand and held his chest.
Cai Ming, seeing their reactions, was genuinely curious and took a look.
His eyes nearly popped out, "You guys actually want to build this; do you know there’s a risk this could lose money?"
Cai Ming felt like swearing; these kids often surprise them; how did they think to run off to that place to stake land?
Such a great idea, Cai Ming didn’t expect it would make a lot of money, but it was a good choice to invite business partners in the future.
No way, Cai Ming stated they couldn’t miss this opportunity, "I think we should absorb more investment to spread the risk of loss."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Exactly, you guys worked hard for your money, what if you lose it?" Zhao Gang and Gong Tao looked at the kids, finally pulling themselves together.
Lose money? How could that be? If they said so, and their eyes showed excitement, they might fool someone for a second.
But at this moment, there’s no way. "No big deal; if there’s no business, we can live there ourselves, treating it as a family vacation spot."
"As for money, we have rental income from properties, just like investing in real estate." As the eldest, Zhao Xuran stepped forward, indicating they absolutely would not accept adult investment.
"This time, it will include the others from Ban Xia." Zhao Xuran and the others had thought earlier, the adults might want to jump in to invest, so they directly included some of the younger ones.
"Don’t let them contribute capital," Zhao Guangran supplemented, "Let’s be generous."
Generous? Is this really generous? Yet Zhao Xuran and the others preferred to give Ban Xia’s crew a share for free rather than agree to the adults joining, clearly stating their attitude.
The three exchanged glances, knowing that no matter how they tried, it was hopeless, so they reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Gang felt just a bit irked at Zhao Xuran playing this trick on him, "I think we should go take a look."
There couldn’t possibly be just that little space; since the kids won’t include them, the older ones will explore on their own and see how they react.
As for whether this makes it look like the father is competing with the sons for money, it’s not an issue; opening a business shouldn’t worry about competitors; only in competition does progress become significant.
Go take a look, planning to grab some land too? Zhao Xuran didn’t mind, they’d find out once they went.
Zhao Guangran proudly showed off, "We’ve taken all the best spots, and the place where the hot spring emerges."
Zhao Guangran felt so good; no matter how wealthy their parents were, they had snagged the best places, while elsewhere, the scenery was average or lacked hot spring access.
Ahhh, Zhao Gang thought it was a suggestion that could win back a round, but was outright rejected by Zhao Guangran. Whose child was this without the elders?
Humph, definitely not his; he’s someone who respects his elders greatly.
Zhao Xuran signaled his brother not to brag, "There’s some at the foot of the mountain too."
Since dad and the others had such an idea, Zhao Xuran casually mentioned the place they had previously eyed; they couldn’t afford it anyway, better to let dad have it than others.
"Big bro is the best." Zhao Gang endlessly praised his eldest’s filial piety.
Zhao Guangran pouted, they’d find out when their parents visited; the place his brother suggested was good, but far inferior to their own acquisition.
Wait, could it be his brother suggested it so dad could take it, fitting for family residence? Zhao Guangran kept wondering if his brother was just that kind-hearted, probably for this reason.
That’s right, that’s right; Zhao Guangran was definitely going to support his brother, so he kept praising the place.
Zhao Gang, seeing Zhao Guangran’s sudden warmth, couldn’t help but feel suspicious, but considering Zhao Guangran’s enthusiasm, he figured it was to prevent him from harping on investment matters.
Kids are just kids; no matter what they do, there’s always a bit of scheming.
"Then let’s go check it out now." Zhao Guangran was genuinely worried that Zhao Xuran and the others were making too much commotion, which might attract unwanted attention, and hurried over to the place.
Zhao Guangran really wasn’t overthinking; land he had favored a few times previously was gone once they took a moment to consider.
Having suffered numerous setbacks, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t be fooled again; if satisfied, he’d buy buy buy, banking on Beijing’s development trend—it was certainly a profitable venture.
