1262 1262: Meeting for the First Time
Indeed, he needed money back then, so he asked for a loan from the Union Bank.
Plus, he obviously knew that the Union Bank belonged to the Hess family. Other than this bank, there were also a few more international banks that worked with the Hess family.
Therefore, when he received the call, he thought that the other party had agreed to lend him the money, and the worst thing would only be a higher interest.
However, the other party told him that they were willing to lend, but they wanted 39% of the shares of AO2.
Back then, the project that he was working on in AO2 was merely 10% of firearms, and he only got a small profit from all these projects, but the other party went mad and demanded 30% of his shares. Zhan Lichuan wasn’t an idiot. He rejected the offer immediately.
He thought that this would be over since Eddie’s reply to him had been warm and gentle the entire time.
But, he soon realized that the banks that were willing to grant him the loan earlier had all suddenly taken a turn. None of them wanted to lend to him.
Just when Zhan Lichuan was denied by all the other banks, Eddie Hess gave him another call. The Hess family would still be willing to lend, but they demanded 35% of shares.
Zhan Lichuan ended the call without any hesitation.
The only reason why he took the loan wasn’t because he was short of money. It was because he was developing SE9 at that period of time, and he was confident with it. Zhan Lichuan had plans to produce it on a large scale.
However, with how Eddie Hess was acting like a pirate, this allowed AO2 that was still in its developing stage to find a different route.
He produced a few trial kits and sent them to the countries that weren’t on good terms with the Central.
When the other party got the trial kits, the effect of it was much better than they had expected.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Central from beating them to it, most of these countries immediately placed their orders.
This was how Zhan Lichuan found his capital.
The Centrals might seem to be indifferent and did not care about the other’s development, but the reality was that they always had their eyes on the other countries—afraid that there were other countries that would get better than them.
This was why most of the tycoons from the Centrals came to AO2.
Zhan Lichuan always demanded payment first before he gave them the product.
Therefore, as AO2 grew, all the money earned from it had been saved in Zhan Lichuan’s personal account, and it got nothing to do with the Hess family.
The Hess family approached him multiple times after that and even lowered the number of shares from 35% to 5%, but Zhan Lichuan always ignored them.
The other party then sent mercenaries to kill him, and the ones that they hired were those from the Sanctuary owned by his dear brother.
This was why Zhan Lichuan didn’t have a good impression of his uncle.
“Ah Chuan, hello! I am your uncle, Eddie Hess.”
Zhan Lichuan smiled, “Mr. Hess, you’re a funny man. Although my mother is Jiamo Hess, I seem to have heard that she has already left the family. I heard that before she left, she was next in line for your position. Mr. Hess, are you really going to take back this nephew of yours who has been deserted? From what I know, if I return to the Hess family, I will be taking over your position.”
Eddie Hess was originally smiling gently, but after hearing what Zhan Lichuan was saying, the smile broke.
