Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's request, Lü Xiujun lowered his head and began to ponder.

If this matter is successfully handled, his performance record for this year will be preserved.

According to the bank's rules, there will be an additional bonus at the end of the year as an incentive. In addition, Ye Chen gave me a kickback of 500 yuan, which is equivalent to my annual salary!

"Okay, I'll try my best to handle this. Let's sign the contract first, and I'll take care of the rest!"

Soon, Lü Xiujun agreed to Ye Chen's request.

But Ye Chen still shook his head, instead proposing a second condition: "The amount written on this contract is 5, which is far from enough for me!"

"As you all know, the land I own is worth more than this, not to mention I built a three-story house. With both of those things combined, and the commune's guarantee, the bank should approve a loan of at least 15 yuan for me!"

Ye Chen made his request directly, since he could earn even more by taking advantage of the current opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Lü Xiujun on the other side beamed with joy, never expecting such an unexpected surprise!

In the context of the 80s, banks had large sums of money hoarded. They weren't afraid you wouldn't lend them money; they were afraid you wouldn't lend enough!

Lu Xiujun originally only wanted to meet his quota, but he never expected to exceed it!

Based on this calculation, I can not only expect a bonus at the end of the year, but it can even be considered a meritorious achievement.

He might just get promoted to bank president!

"Okay, okay, I'll amend the contract right away!"

"Brother Ye Chen, if you had told me earlier that you wanted to borrow so much money, I would have definitely arranged the interest for you!"

With a hint of flattery, Lü Xiujun quickly nodded.

Half an hour later, after both parties had settled the procedural issues, Lü Xiujun immediately invited Ye Chen to speak.

"Brother Ye Chen, the paperwork is all done. I happen to have a government car with me, so why don't we go into the city together and withdraw the money directly?"

Only when the money was delivered to Ye Chen was the loan truly completed. To prevent any unforeseen complications, Lü Xiujun naturally wanted to expedite the process.

"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

Now, it's only been seven or eight days since the price of Clivia rose.

Acquiring clivia plants worth tens of thousands of yuan in a short period of time is a race against time.

The sooner this money arrives, the more time I'll save, so it's best to process it as quickly as possible!

Before leaving, Ling Chen turned back and gave instructions to the village chief, Lü Xiumin.

"By the way, Uncle Lü, could you please register the villagers who are willing to sell their clivia this afternoon?"

"When I get back tonight, we'll immediately hand over the goods—money for goods!"

"Okay, okay, I promise I'll get it done!" Lü Xiumin quickly patted his chest and assured him.

If this is done well, it will be a huge achievement!

Watching his younger brother leave with Ye Chen, Lü Xiumin sighed inwardly.

Ye Chen is a man of principle. We should keep in touch with him and work together more in the future!

……

Half an hour later, Lü Xiujun drove Ye Chen to the bank. Just as Ye Chen was waiting for Lü Xiujun to withdraw money for him, he bumped into a familiar face.

"Kid, what a small world! I never expected to meet you here again!"

Wang Jian'an, heavily pregnant, walked over and, upon seeing Ye Chen, turned directly towards him and stood in front of him.

"Kid, you used my name to drag me into this mess before, didn't expect me to get out so quickly, did you?"

"It's because your father spent a lot of money. Just you wait, I'll make you pay!"

Wang Jian'an's face was contorted with rage as he immediately uttered a series of harsh words.

After saying that, he turned around arrogantly and walked straight towards the bank's office area.

As Wang Jian'an's figure disappeared, Ye Chen clenched his fist tightly, his expression solemn.

According to his original plan, Wang Jian'an would not be released from prison until at least the end of the year.

By then, I had already taken over the shops on Factory Street. Even if Wang Jian'an tried to sabotage me, I had Boss Qin as an ally, so I had nothing to fear.

But now, it's just one step away from success.

This is the crucial moment!

Wang Jian'an's sudden appearance at this critical juncture immediately added a layer of danger to the already uncertain situation.

"But there's no need to worry. I now have an extra hundred thousand in capital, and with the help of the Clivia, that money can multiply several times over!"

"With the previous investment, if managed properly, it will be a million-dollar asset. Even if Wang Jian'an wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't be in a position to compete with me!"

Shaking his head, Ye Chen muttered to himself that in his eyes, Wang Jian'an was no longer qualified to be his opponent!

Just then, Lü Xiujun returned, carrying a large leather suitcase.

"Ye Chen, the loan has been approved. It's all here. Count it!"

……

As night fell, Ye Chen returned to Shuangshu Village.

Inside the commune office, many villagers surrounded Lü Xiumin in the center.

"Village chief, you said Ye Chen would be back tonight, but it's already dark and he's still nowhere to be seen. Could he have run off with that money?"

"Village chief, if Ye Chen disappears without a trace, you'll have to take responsibility!"

"That's right, our money is all hard-earned. I think you're clearly in cahoots with Ye Chen to swindle us!"

When some villagers got agitated, they even turned the tables and accused the perpetrators.

Lu Xiumin has truly witnessed how difficult these villagers are to deal with!

"Let me explain..."

"No need for explanation, it's just about money, isn't it? I'm back!"

Before Lü Xiumin could finish speaking, Ye Chen had already pushed open the office door, his calm gaze sweeping across the room.

There were 11 people who were preparing to sell their clivia plants. Thinking of their despicable methods, Ye Chen said even more fiercely.

"I've already told the village chief my requirements, and you should all know them. If you want me to cover your losses, you have to sign a guarantee!"

"Once the clivia is in my hands, whether I make a profit or a loss, you absolutely cannot complain. As long as you're willing to sign, we'll exchange money for goods tonight!"

Ye Chen had witnessed the despicable nature of this group of people. Now, seeing that the Clivia was not making money, they were only thinking about pushing this hot potato away.

But if we wait until a week later, when the price of clivia has skyrocketed, who knows what kind of trouble these people might cause!

Rather than wasting time arguing later, it's better to make a guarantee in advance. Even if they have any bad intentions, Ye Chen won't be afraid of them doing anything reckless with a guarantee in hand.

"Sign, sign, sign! We'll sign right now!"

Upon seeing this, a woman immediately stepped forward, nodding flatteringly at Ye Chen, and finally praising him.

"Ye Chen, you're such a kind person! You helped us this time, so please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need anything!"

"I won't bother you if anything happens. Anyway, like I said, when I make money, don't be envious, just get on with your work!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, urging them on, while secretly sighing in his heart.

A great opportunity to make money, but unfortunately these people don't know how to seize it!
