After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464 The Game (7) The Under-the-Table Deal

Martina was furious to hear Hannah's words. She'd always been arrogant and superior to others and ordered much other senior staff in this way. But surprisingly, Hannah didn't buy it and gave her a hard time.
She gritted her teeth, "You just want the money, right? I've told you it was no big deal to Sawyer Group. I don't give a shit on the so-called time of transfer. All in all, we can get the money ready. Don't put on the dog in front of us, and don't ever try to make us take the blame when you screw up the marketing planning of the project."
"No worries. As long as Sawyer is ready to cooperate and do its job, I'll take full responsibility if the marketing planning fails." Hannah said while packing up her documents, "Now that you don't have any other questions about it, please make the first transfer to the specified account next Monday."
Saying it, Hannah left smartly. Watching her walking so confidently, Martina couldn't be more jealous. Then, she picked up the phone to call her brother.
"Charles, Hannah just come over and told us to get the money ready. I'll send you the fund plan. Take a look at it."
"OK. I'll get back to you."
"OK."
In her eyes, her brother was an all-mighty problem solver.
...
In the City Hall, Charles hung up on Martina and went out to the outdoor smoking zone. He lit a cigarette, made sure no one else was there and made the call, "Henry."
"Yes?"
"Have you got the one billion ready as I told you earlier?"
"Its capital flow is smooth. You can apply for a loan through the legal and formal procedure."
"Legal and formal procedure? Are you fucking kidding me?" Charles flew into a rage. He had mortgaged everything but his shares in Sawyer Group. But he couldn't take the risk of losing the shares. It would end in disaster if someone took advantage of it.
"They're very strict with the bank loan now and they'll go through many procedures and examine lots of documents as well, especially when you're gonna apply for such a big loan."
"I don't care. Just figure it out!" Charles ordered coldly, "Anyway, figure out something and get that one billion for me!"
Henry didn't want to do that.
"Henry, you'd better not forget that we're in the same boat now. I've kept the evidence of the fact that you caused Susan's car accident. At worst, I'll reveal the truth and both of us will be screwed!"
Henry gritted his teeth, thinking Charles was different from what others thought he was. He was evil and tricky! He'd never want to work with someone like him if he had had a choice back then.
"Call me back by 5 pm today!" Charles said it and hung up the phone. He was sure that Henry could get it done.
Henry had worked in Phillips Bank for years and it was pretty easy for him to do it under the table. But he just didn't want to take the risks for Charles! However, he didn't have a choice, and there was no way back.
Henry had figured it out and pulled the strings, but he was so cautious that he wouldn't give in till the last minute.
At 5 pm, Charles called Henry on time, "Have you made up your mind? You should have called me back!" Charles said impatiently.
"You can mortgage your real estate like the house properties if you don't want to mortgage your shares." Henry said.
"Damn it. I'd have done that if I could." Charles looked bloody cold since he'd mortgaged all his house properties already.
"All I can help is to estimate your house properties to the highest values, which means, I'll make it to half a billion or even more if your house is worth only one hundred million, then you can get the loan. But it's risky. It'll be fine if no one reviews it. Once we get caught having broken the rules, we'll have to take the due responsibilities. So, you'd better pay off the loan within half a year. Normally, they don't focus on reviewing the loans that have been paid back."
"The point is, I don't have any more house to mortgage now!" Charles gritted his teeth. Sawyer Group's capital chain had almost broken! And it was like a shell company.
"Forge it?"Henry said, "Forge two house property certificates. I can skip the reviewing part and grant the loan directly." Henry said bluntly.
Charles thought of it and realized it was the last chance, then he said, "OK. I'm on it."
"You'd better come tomorrow morning. It's Saturday and most of the staff will be off. It'll be easier to do it with fewer people around." Henry suggested.
"OK."
"I'll wait for you tomorrow."
"OK."
Charles had never imagined he would be so fucked up. In no time, he made some calls to forge two fake house property certificates. He chose the most expensive area and each house was worth more than three hundred million, which meant it would be valued at around one billion in total. And, it looked reasonable on the surface.
Charles, Lee and Martina went for Henry on Saturday morning.
Henry finished the relevant procedures for them quickly and then called Edward, "Mr Chairman."
"What's the matter?"
"Sawyer Group is applying for an urgent loan of one billion to start their e-commerce project. They mortgaged their house properties in Panket Island, whose estimated market price is about one billion. The loan term is half a year. I've finished the procedures here. Please check and approve it. The financial department will have to grant the loan today."
"When did Lee buy two houses on Panket Island?" Edward was surprised and murmured to himself. But he agreed without a second thought while Henry was still thinking of what to say in reply, "OK. Finish the procedures and I'll check and approve it."
Anyway, it was only half a year, and he didn't doubt it since he'd signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sawyer Group.
"OK." Henry took a deep breath. He was quite nervous since this was the first time he had cooked the book. He turned to the Sawyer family, "We can grant the loan after Edward checks and approves it later. Don't forget to repay it within half a year. We'll have to answer for it if we get caught."
"Don't worry. It's for a temporary capital turnover. Probably, we can pay it back within half a year. We're investing in international e-commerce and the payoff period will be in three months, tops."
"Anyway, bear it in mind," Henry said with anxiety.
"OK, OK." Charles ran out of patience and said, "Let me know when you grant the loan. We gotta go." He always thought little of Henry and thus behaved so boorishly in front of him.
Henry coldly watched them leaving, thinking the Sawyer Family would be OK if they could make a killing, otherwise, they would end up losing everything!
