Chapter 453: Borrowing Money
Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were convinced by Bang Geng almost instantly. They could look down on Lee Seungri and think that he was a bad person, but they would not say that Lee Seungri had bad vision.

Li Shengli's vision has been proven. He has not made a single loss-making deal in all this time.

Bang Geng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were convinced by his reasons. He almost couldn't continue his story.

Huaihua was a little skeptical, but she had also carefully understood Li Chengzhi and Li Shengli. Just as Banggeng said, Li Shengli had not made a single mistake in the nearly ten years since he started his business.

"If you really want to buy a house, then go and ask your grandfather for help. He should have quite a bit of money saved." Jia Zhang thought about it and decided to put the money on Yi Zhonghai's head.

"Grandma, if you say so, then you can also ask Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa." At this time, Banggeng finally thought of the three old men in the yard.

"Brother, if you really want to borrow money, you can ask silly dad for help." Huaihua didn't want to go out and borrow money from others again. She couldn't borrow large sums of money, and small sums of money were useless. Besides, she didn't really trust Banggeng.

"Who can Uncle Sha borrow it from? He doesn't know many people." Bang Geng thought about it and didn't quite agree with this point of view.

Shazhu's bad mouth always offends people, so who would be willing to lend him money?

"Silly dad's big boss, you used to call her Aunt Lou." Huaihua didn't know what other people thought. She only knew that her idea was a good one. She didn't have to continue to embarrass herself in front of Li Chengzhi, nor did she have to bear the reputation of borrowing money and not paying it back.

Although Banggeng said that as long as she borrowed the money, she would have a share in his barbecue restaurant, Huaihua was not greedy. She just wanted to get something that belonged to her, such as her own salary.

"No." Qin Huairu directly rejected Huaihua's proposal without Banggeng saying anything.

How could Qin Huairu agree to this proposal? Although she thought that the probability of Lou Xiaoe falling in love with Sha Zhu was very small, it was still possible. Others might not know what kind of person Sha Zhu is, but doesn't Qin Huairu know him?
Any sign of it will be unacceptable.

Seeing Qin Huairu's somewhat uncertain expression, Huaihua and Banggeng tactfully stopped talking.

Finally, it was Bang Geng who broke the awkward atmosphere: "I'll go find a grandfather and try."

"Go ahead, Yi Zhonghai has quite a bit of savings." Jia Zhang fully supported Banggeng's plan.

Qin Huairu and Huaihua had no objections either.

In fact, Qin Huairu has another choice, which is to mortgage her house for a loan. In that case, both the bank and Li Shengli would be willing to lend the money. However, Qin Huairu doesn't want to do that. It's not easy to spit out the meat in her mouth.

So Banggeng came to Yi Zhonghai's house and explained his purpose to him.

"Grandpa, I have something to ask you." Banggeng was very respectful to those who asked him a favor.

Yi Zhonghai also enjoyed this kind of respect.

"What's the matter?"

"Grandpa, it's like this..."

Banggeng expressed his demands.

As Banggeng continued to talk, Yi Zhonghai had more and more questions in his mind. Borrowing money to buy a house seemed a little unbelievable to Yi Zhonghai, not to mention who asked him to borrow money from an old man in his seventies. "Banggeng, you know that I am no longer an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill. Now I have no income and can only live on that little pension. What you said is really..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say it explicitly, but what he meant between the lines was that you've come to the wrong person to borrow money from an old man like me.

"Grandpa Yi, you are the only one in the whole compound that I can borrow money from."

Banggeng was right in saying this. Now there was no one else in the whole compound except their family. The others were all Li Shengli's tenants. These people were not familiar with the Jia family, let alone borrowing money from them.

As for Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, they were even poorer. Yan Bugui even lost his house.

Banggeng's words made Yi Zhonghai feel very embarrassed. He also knew that Banggeng had no way to find anyone to borrow money from. As for Shazhu, no one dared to lend him such a large sum of money. Among the people he knew, the only ones who dared to lend him money were Lou Xiaoe and Li Shengli, but these two people did not have a good relationship with the people in the compound.

"Bang Geng, it's not that I don't want to lend you money, it's just that I don't have much money now." Yi Zhonghai still wanted to be safe, as the lessons learned from Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were still there.

"Grandpa, it's like this. I bought the house not to live in it, but to open a barbecue restaurant. You know how profitable barbecue restaurants are out there." Bang Geng also began to explain his purpose to Yi Zhonghai.

"I know that. There is no barbecue restaurant out there that doesn't make money." Yi Zhonghai knew quite a bit about this. He had nothing to do all day, and the doctor also told him to walk more to recover, so he was quite familiar with the shops on the nearby streets.

"That's what I'm talking about. I plan to open a barbecue restaurant after I buy the store. If you don't believe in my cooking skills, then why don't you believe in my silly dad's cooking skills? With the two of us here, this restaurant won't fail."

Banggeng continued to persuade Yi Zhonghai.

There was a hint of emotion on Yi Zhonghai's face. To Yi Zhonghai, a business like Xu Damao's was not reliable. Only people like Sha Zhu who made a living by their cooking skills were reliable, and he also believed in Sha Zhu's cooking skills very much.

"Well, as long as you lend me 50,000 yuan, I will give you 30% of the shares in this store." Bang Geng tentatively painted a big picture for Yi Zhonghai.

His main purpose now is to borrow the money from Yi Zhonghai and then make a fortune. As long as he wins the money, the bills he signed will be easily settled.

It’s not that Banggeng doesn’t want to continue setting up the stall, but people have started to come to collect debts for the IOUs he signed before.

Banggeng planned to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise it would be reported to the whole compound, and then the whole compound would know what he had done. To be honest, he now regretted getting involved.

"Thirty percent of the shares!" Yi Zhonghai's face showed obvious interest.

This is a sure win, as Shazhu's craftsmanship will always be in high demand.

"Yes, 30% of the shares." Bang Geng nodded, and this time his tone was much firmer. Judging from the expression on Yi Zhonghai's face, the matter was settled.

"Okay, I can lend it to you, but don't forget what you said." Yi Zhonghai lent it to Banggeng after considering many factors. First of all, Banggeng represented Qin Huairu, which was related to whether he could have a good retirement life and whether his future life would be guaranteed.

The other one is Sha Zhu. He knows Sha Zhu. Even if Bang Geng really loses money, Sha Zhu will make money to pay off the debt. So he believes in Sha Zhu instead of Bang Geng.
