Mr. Lin Qi Put the Noose Around Your Neck to Your Face

Before arriving, Mr. He Bosi had considered how to persuade Lin Qi to agree to terminate the agreement early—he would give Lin Qi a penalty for breach of contract and as much compensation as possible.

This compensation is not in cash, but in other forms of material possessions, such as real estate and personal property.

Compared to the certainty of currency value being directly reflected in its face value and international exchange Exchange Rate, the value of real estate and some investment commodities, such as a house, cannot be estimated so accurately.

No one can accurately assess how much a house is worth. They give a house a threshold, a range of fluctuation, and even that range is not accurate enough.

Too many factors can affect the value of a house, such as the value of the land beneath the house, the potential for appreciation brought by future City Hall plans, or the fact that the house was once lived in by a celebrity.

The value of a house is influenced by various added values, and the final price may exceed people's expectations.

In addition, there are various investment products, such as gemstones. If you destroy the main mining areas of several types of gemstones, the price of gemstones will skyrocket instantly.

The prices of these items are subject to change due to external factors, which is the solution Mr. He Bosi came up with. He would use these methods to compensate Lin Qi, so that his losses would not be so great.

He owns more than one house worth over a million. With a little manipulation, it wouldn't be difficult to increase the value of these houses by another 20% in the appraisal. Moreover, the value of these movable and immovable properties is not obvious before they are cashed out. Using them to pay off debts actually elevates their value and significance. This is a good method.

Mr. He Bosi then played the victim, pleading with Lin Qi, "I'm saying all this just to make you understand the most helpless state an old man is in right now. I've lost, Mr. Lin Qi, I beg you to terminate the agreement ahead of schedule!"

Lin Qi looked at him, while he kept his head down.

At this moment, Lin Qi chuckled a few times. He picked up his coffee and took a sip. Gefra's coffee was very different from the coffee in the Federal.

Federal coffee beans are not over-roasted, and a lot of sugar and fresh milk are added to make the coffee taste better. Sometimes people can't tell whether Federal coffee is made by adding sweet milk to coffee or coffee to sweet milk.

Gefra coffee is different; they roast the coffee beans with a higher heat, which makes the coffee more aromatic and flavorful during extraction. They don't like to add too much sugar or milk to their coffee.

Some scholars who have nothing better to do than study everything believe that this is due to historical reasons. Historically, sugar, as a condiment, has always been very expensive, and the common people of Gefra simply could not afford such expensive condiments to balance the taste of coffee.

Secondly, the Gefra people believe that the milky smell of fresh milk will ruin the aroma of coffee, so they almost never add sugar or milk to their coffee unless the guests request it.

However, in recent years, these situations have been changing. They may not add much milk, but some places will add a little sugar to the coffee or provide extra sugar packets for guests to choose from.

The country's wealth has led to sugar becoming a more common condiment in people's lives, which has also split coffee lovers into two camps: one supports the original flavor, while the other supports adding condiments to enhance the style of coffee.

The cup Lin Qi drank had no sugar or milk added. After being heavily roasted, the coffee beans had completely lost any acidity or bitterness, and the aroma was fully released. At the same time, the oil content of the coffee increased, making the taste slightly richer and more unexpectedly delicious.

Middle-aged people will never be swayed by sweetness; they prefer the lingering sweetness after bitterness and the flavor that stays on their lips and teeth for a long time.

Setting down his coffee cup, Lin Qi looked at Mr. He Bosi. "Mr. He Bosi, the world is always full of surprises and unexpected events. Nothing ever goes perfectly according to plan."

"Whether it's you, me, or those great humans who have existed or still exist, or even gods whose existence we don't know if they really exist, none of them can accurately grasp the process and outcome of everything."

"Two years ago, I had just made a little money. You know, it's really difficult for someone like me to make money. I had to use some shady methods to earn my first money."

"It may be illegal, but it's fast. I have a very detailed plan, how I should do each step, what kind of feedback I will get, and so on..." Lin Qi waved his hand, like a chess player moving a piece on a chessboard, "...I have planned all of this perfectly."

"Most of the time things go according to my plan and give me a positive result, but one time, the plan went wrong!"

When Mr. He Bosi heard this, he already had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but since he needed her help, he could only continue to endure it rather than interrupt Lin Qi.

Lin Qi looked at him with a half-smile, "In my plan, I will acquire Foreclosure Auction items at a very low price through auction, so that I will still have hundreds of thousands of yuan in sufficient funds to carry out the next step of my plan."

"Each step of the plan is actually interconnected and independent, and any problem in any link will cause problems."

"I thought my plan would be fine, but then someone suddenly appeared, someone I never expected. He made me pay a million more to get what I wanted, which almost emptied my cash flow and nearly put my subsequent development plans on hold."

"Even!"

"It almost ruined all my plans!"

"Then the person who ruined my plans told me that it was just his little trick, that he gained nothing and lost nothing, but put me in a very passive position."

"He even told me that it was my honor..."

Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He picked up his coffee again, took a sip, and said, "You should try this coffee. It tastes much better than the coffee from the Federal. I should take some with me when I leave."

Under Lin Qi's gaze, Mr. He Bosi' expression changed after a brief silence.

Before, he looked like a frail old man who could die of a heart attack at any moment. Now, his face had a natural sharpness. He lowered his head slightly and looked up at Lin Qi. "You're taking revenge on me, just because I made you spend a little more money."

"Revenge?" Lin Qi laughed. "No, you've misunderstood, Mr. He Bosi. I'm not Mind's Eye person. I'm just giving you a chance to become my friend."

"If you don't go bankrupt after this, then you'll be qualified to be my friend. You should feel honored, after all, not many people can have my friendship, right?"

Mr. He Bosi could hardly contain his emotions, and his expression turned to anger. "Just because of less than a million, you want to bankrupt me? You're insane, you know that?!"

He spoke very loudly, and in his opinion, this was simply absurd; it was only a million dollars, and that amount of money was nothing.

The gifts Lin Qi Lin Qi they met not long ago were worth about that much, but for this sum of money that neither of them thought was anything special, he was really on the verge of bankruptcy.

This is no longer just a "loss". Such a major mistake would cause almost all investors to demand withdrawal of their funds, including some international investors, some domestic investors, such as his King brother and those nobles.

However, he simply couldn't come up with that much money in a short period of time, and after people around the world learned of this, it became difficult for him to sell all his real estate and investment products at high prices.

Don't assume that just because he has some international fame, people will give him face; that's impossible.

The first thing those people did after they found out he was in trouble was to suppress him as much as possible, force him into bankruptcy, and then buy up all his assets at an even cheaper price!

He's finished, all because of one million!

How could this not make him angry and agitated? Lin Qi was in a good mood, with a smile on his face. "You can't calculate it so simply. According to you, it's only a loss of tens of millions. Can't you even bear such a small amount?" He looked at Mr. He Bosi and chuckled.

"The extra million you made me pay back then almost seriously injured me. I'm just doing the same thing now, and I believe you can pull through, Mr. He Bosi. You must also want to be my friend, right?"

Just as Mr. He Bosi was about to lose his temper, Lin Qi suddenly shook his finger. "Alright, Mr. He Bosi, although I can't terminate our contract early, we can compromise."

Mr. He Bosi, who was already on the verge of exploding with anger, did not immediately give an answer after listening. Instead, he carefully considered the matter for a while before asking, "I apologize for my rudeness just now, Mr. Lin Qi. You are a gentleman, and I hope you can understand my current feelings."

Lin Qi nodded generously, "Of course, Mr. He Bosi, I understand, and that's why I came up with a compromise."

"I can lend you money, and I don't care what you do with it. Just pay me back after a while. This Short Selling alone can help you recoup a lot of your losses. What do you say?"

Looking into Lin Qi's sincere gaze, Mr. He Bosi suddenly felt a chill rise from his heels, turning into a cold draft from his buttocks and rushing straight to his head, making him shiver all over—something was damn wrong.

Could this be a new trap? He hesitated, yet couldn't help himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "How many do you have?"
