Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 373 - 254: Overwhelmed (Part 2)

"I definitely want to continue our cooperation, but I also don’t want to offend Yi Anguo! So I advise you to quickly repair the relationship with Yi Anguo. It’s best if you can facilitate a good relationship between your son and Yi Anguo’s niece." Zou Zhijun said.

"Otherwise, which bank do you think you can get a loan from? You shouldn’t have to pay a huge price, otherwise no bank would be willing to risk offending people just to lend to you."

Zou Zhijun arranged several meetings with banks he had good relations with and had previously collaborated with to discuss loan cooperation, but to his anxiety, not a single bank was willing to continue working with him. Even when he offered the most benefits, they were still unwilling to take the risk of partnering with him.

He didn’t expect that Yi Anguo’s influence was this large; just a few words from him, and no bank dared to cooperate with him.

Properties that had already been launched also encountered problems, with serious quality issues being exposed. The rainstorms resulted in a buyer’s newly renovated penthouse leaking everywhere, ruining their luxurious renovation. The buyer demanded a refund and compensation for the renovation costs.

Upon hearing this, Zou Pingyuan refused the buyer’s refund request, agreeing only to repair the leaking roof terrace and compensate part of the renovation costs.

But the buyer disagreed, and not only escalated the issue to the consumer rights committee seeking justice, but also involved television reporters to expose the quality issues of the property.

Even more unfortunate, just as the TV reporters arrived, a large section of an outer wall of a building suddenly collapsed.

Luckily, no one was below at the time, otherwise the issue would have been far more serious.

As a result, many existing homeowners also demanded refunds.

Not to mention selling more units, who would want to buy their properties after such problems were exposed?

Not only did the new properties encounter issues, but homeowners of previously developed properties also started to worry, fearing quality problems and demanding that the relevant authorities re-inspect for potential issues.

Homeowners wanting to list their properties for resale found that even with price reductions, there were no buyers.

The unfolding events even caught Yi Anguo by surprise. The blame couldn’t be pinned on him; he hadn’t intervened. It seemed the properties developed by Century Real Estate Development Company originally had quality issues, and possibly significant ones.

All he did was have the president of Anguo Bank discreetly inform various banks that the owner of Century Real Estate Development Company offended him. Those who continued to work with them would be opposing him.

No one at the banks was foolish, and naturally would not want to offend Yi Anguo by insisting on collaborating with Century Real Estate Development Company.

The real estate development industry was booming, and losing one developer as a collaborator had no impact on the banks, nor would it cause any loss.

While it’s true that all companies under Yi Anguo’s name prioritize cooperation with Anguo Bank, Anguo Bank has limited branches in China, mainly in major cities.

So the many domestic banks still do business with the major companies under Yi Anguo’s name.

Compared to Century Real Estate Development Company’s business volume, they’d certainly choose the businesses under Yi Anguo’s companies.

Besides the seven major groups under Yi Anguo, there are many companies invested in by Hualong Investment Group where Yi Anguo holds significant influence.

No bank would be foolish enough to continue cooperating with Century Real Estate Development Company at the risk of offending Yi Anguo.

To put it bluntly, no one can afford to offend Yi Anguo; he’s the richest man in the country!

Guo Sian saw the newspaper and television news filled with negative news about Century Real Estate Development Company.

He was very surprised! Could this be his father’s tactic?

He recalled that recently, Tan Xiaoxiao had taken a task to investigate all the details of Century Real Estate Development Company.

It couldn’t be a coincidence that right after the investigation was completed, Century Real Estate Development Company ran into problems.

Returning home that evening, Guo Sian wanted to ask his father about the recent events involving Century Real Estate Development Company.

But to his surprise, there were guests at home.

"Dad!" Guo Sian greeted his father.

"Sian, you’re back. Let me introduce you to your third aunt Yi Mingzhu, and your third uncle Liu Guohui, and also your cousin Liu Senlin." Yi Anguo said with a smile to his son.

"This is your elder aunt’s eldest daughter Fu Huanhuan, and this is your elder aunt’s third daughter Fu Shanshan. You should call them ’sister’.

"Hello, Third Aunt and Third Uncle! I’m Guo Sian, my father’s son, and your eldest nephew." Guo Sian said humorously.

"Brother Sian! I’m Liu Senlin! I’m your younger brother, make sure you take me to play." Said the twelve-year-old Liu Senlin eagerly.

"Sure, Brother Senlin, but before I take you to play, you have to make sure not to neglect your studies." Guo Sian smiled as he looked at his slightly mischievous cousin Liu Senlin.
