Chapter 159 I'll Take Care of You From Now On
"Thirteen million! You're asking for a loan of thirteen million!" In the office of the Changxi County branch manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Yuan Li's eyes widened as she looked at Ge Dongxu, almost as though she wanted to devour him.
Last October, Yuan Li had been promoted to the branch manager of the Changxi County branch.
"Not me, it's Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory." Ge Dongxu said with a smile, facing Yuan Li's astonished expression.
There was a time when Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory's predecessor was just a small factory that couldn't even pay back a loan of a few hundred thousand, but now? The largest shareholder of Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory was casually asking for a loan of thirteen million!
Yuan Li's emotions were anything but calm.
After a long while, she straightened her hair, gently tapped Ge Dongxu on the shoulder, and with a roll of her eyes said, "Whether it's Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory taking out a loan or you, what's the difference!"
"There is a difference, though. If I personally asked for such a large sum, would your superiors approve it? But if it's Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory applying for the loan, they would likely consider it," Ge Dongxu replied with a laugh.
Ge Dongxu wasn't just boasting; Qinghe Beverage's sales were booming in the Ouzhou City area. No bank could ignore Qinghe Beverage, a client with such promising prospects. Of course, thirteen million was definitely a high figure.
"Go on, you make it sound so easy. It's thirteen million we're talking about! If it weren't for your sake, do you think I would even consider submitting it for approval?" Yuan Li nudged Ge Dongxu gently and rolled her eyes.
A loan amount that large certainly wasn't something Yuan Li, the manager of the Changxi County branch of the Industrial Bank, could approve directly. It would require going through several layers of approval.
However, from Yuan Li's words, it was not hard to tell that if it weren't for Ge Dongxu's sake, she definitely wouldn't take such a risk. Because with such a large sum, even if the decision were ultimately made by higher-ups, her position as branch manager would be at stake if there were any issues.
"Thank you, Sister Li," Ge Dongxu said, feeling a warmth in his heart as he looked at Yuan Li and spoke softly.
"Silly boy, what's there to thank your sister for? At worst, I just won't be a manager," Yuan Li said, lifting her finger to gently poke Ge Dongxu's forehead, feigning annoyance.
"If you really end up not being a manager, I'll look after you," Ge Dongxu suddenly blurted out as he looked at Yuan Li.
"Really? You'll look after me!" Yuan Li's eyes lit up dramatically at his words, staring straight at Ge Dongxu.
Feeling Yuan Li's gaze, Ge Dongxu suddenly realized that looking after a woman wasn't something to be said lightly, and he became somewhat flustered.
"Just knew it, men are all talk, deceivers," seeing Ge Dongxu flustered, a hint of disappointment and self-mocking flashed deep in Yuan Li's eyes. She gently poked his forehead again, rolling her eyes. Stay connected through empire
"Who said I'm deceiving anyone! It's just that you'll eventually get married," Ge Dongxu said, not knowing where the emotion came from, suddenly sticking his neck out as he spoke.
At his words, Yuan Li's delicate body trembled slightly, then she stared intently at Ge Dongxu for a long time before finally pursing her lips into a smile and saying, "You said it, so if I don't get married in the future, let's see what you'll do?"
"Then I'll look after you!" Ge Dongxu immediately replied.
At that, Yuan Li's body trembled again, a different kind of sparkle flashed in her beautiful eyes, but it quickly turned dull. In what seemed to be a mixture of emotions, she gently held Ge Dongxu's head and buried it in her chest, which strained against her blouse. She kissed his forehead and said, "You silly boy, you're great at making money, but after all, you're still young and don't yet understand what it means to look after a woman; it's not a simple matter. But hearing you say that makes me very happy."
Ge Dongxu sat on the sofa, caught off guard when Yuan Li suddenly hugged his head and buried her face in her towering bosom. The pleasant scent of her womanly fragrance occasionally wafted into his nose, and for a moment, he forgot to listen to what Yuan Li was saying, as a loud buzzing filled his head.
By the time he came to his senses, Yuan Li had already pushed him away with a blushing face, realizing that her way of hugging was a bit inappropriate. It was just that, in the heat of the moment, she hadn't thought too much about it.
"Don't worry, about the loan, I'll try my best to fight for you," Yuan Li straightened her clothes and sat up properly, saying earnestly.
Watching Yuan Li adjusting her clothes made her peaks seem even more towering, and Ge Dongxu couldn't help but look.
"You, where are your eyes looking?" Yuan Li poked Ge Dongxu's forehead with her jade finger and rolled her eyes at him.
Ge Dongxu's face reddened, and he said with an awkward smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you with the loan issue."
"If you talk like that again, do you believe I won't let you into my office anymore?" Yuan Li put her hands on her hips, feigning anger.
"Right, right, it won't be a trouble for you!" Ge Dongxu hurriedly said.
"Pfft, are you implying you don't want me to help you with the loan anymore?" Yuan Li couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words.
"Haha, Sister Li, I can't outtalk you, just do what you think is best," Ge Dongxu followed with a laugh.
"You're smart," Yuan Li said, proudly tilting her chin up.
...
After some time, thanks to Yuan Li's efforts and after the higher-up branch personnel conducted multiple surveys of the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory, the loan was finally approved. However, the amount was not thirteen million but ten million.
This was the maximum loan amount the bank determined after assessing various risks.
The herbal tea factory originally had a surplus of more than two million. After setting aside approximately one million for the factory's working capital, the shortfall was two million.
With a sixty percent stake in the two million, Ge Dongxu had to bear one million two hundred thousand.
After investing in Donglinyue Apparel last year, Ge Dongxu had over one million two hundred thousand in his account, plus he received nearly two hundred thousand in profits from the trademark factory in the second half of last year. Technically, it was enough to cover the payment, but due to expenditures in cultivation, he couldn't pay the one million two hundred thousand. In the end, he had no choice but to mortgage his villa for a loan, finally putting together the one million two hundred thousand.
Thus, Ge Dongxu once again became a "debtor," owing a huge amount to the bank.
Although the massive acquisition once more gloriously turned Ge Dongxu into a "debtor" and saddled Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory with a huge debt, time soon proved Ge Dongxu's decision was extremely correct as it flew to May. Jiangnan Province, located in the subtropical region, began to welcome the hot weather, and orders came flying in like snowflakes.
Because the Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory had completed the acquisition and reform of Linzhou City Beverage Factory before the peak sales season, production capacity had greatly increased.
Just in the month of May, Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory's sales reached six million. At this time, due to minimal advertising expenses, mainly relying on word-of-mouth from earlier periods, large supermarkets were just starting to emerge in big cities. Qinghe Herbal Tea wasn't sold through these large supermarkets, nor was there any so-called entry fee expense. Therefore, the profits for Qinghe Herbal Tea were quite high at this timeāof the six million in sales, after deducting various expenses, profits were around four million.
