The 4th session of the Millionaire Merchant discusses the affection for dogs

At that time, Hong Yunsheng noticed scratch marks in a corner of Yan Xiangli's living room and casually asked, "Does Yan Xiangli have a dog at home? I also really like small pets"

As Hong Yunsheng entered the room and had just taken a seat, he saw a small black curly-haired dog running over, nuzzling against his leg without any fear of strangers. Hong Yunsheng had indeed raised dogs before, and it was clear to him that this was a mixed breed, worth at most two hundred yuan in the dog market. However, the old lady's asking price left him pleasantly surprised—six hundred thousand!

Three days later, Hong Yunsheng called Yan Xiangli's home. Upon learning that Yan Xiangli was at home and had not gone out, he brought along the little black dog named Huanhuan for a visit. As soon as Madam Yan saw Huanhuan, she joyfully exclaimed and picked up the puppy, cooing, "Huanhuan, you are finally home. Did you miss your mother while you were outside?"

Yan Xiangli briefly discussed the procedures for applying for a loan for the money exchange project. At this point, Hong Yunsheng seemed to have gained nothing and should have taken his leave. However, before he could do so, he keenly picked up on a piece of information: Yan Xiangli's wife was sitting beside him, chatting about some everyday matters.

Old lady: "Yes, what is it?"

... ...

After the Qianrihong Group took over Nandu Machinery, the company was immediately renamed Nandu Technology. The performance in the next quarter's financial report was very good, leading to a significant increase in stock prices. This year, Nandu Technology plans to launch a high-tech project, reportedly a product for multimedia digital information conversion, named the "Shenji Box." The new chairman of Nandu Technology, Hong Yunsheng, is seeking commercial financing for this project and initially approached Yan Xiangli directly.

Yan Xiangli: "Stop making a fuss, there are guests here at hetushu.com, don't let them hear such jokes"

The old lady curled her lips and said, "I have consulted someone knowledgeable about dogs, and this is a purebred Jili Guo dog, of genuine royal lineage, worth at least 600,000. If you find it too expensive, you need not buy it; I have no desire to sell it either"

This time, Qingchen posted online that he wanted to kill Sun Wanlin, and Xiaobai and others were discussing it animatedly at the dining table. However, discussions were merely discussions; after all, Qingchen was not targeting them, and they continued to handle their own affairs as usual. After the banquet that day, Xiaobai received an envelope from a staff member of Nandu Technology, and upon returning home, he opened it to find two thousand yuan in cash, which was meant as a token of appreciation.

After more than three months of absence, Qingchen finally posted a death threat online again. This time, the person he intends to kill is Sun Wanlin, a construction contractor in Wuyou City. The reason for Qingchen's intent to kill is not complicated. The year before last, Sun Wanlin contracted a coastal wave-dissipation dam project in Wuyou City, designed to withstand winds and waves of level 12 or higher. This year, Wuyou City was hit by a level 9 typhoon, and this section of the dam was destroyed, resulting in seven people being swept into the sea and losing their lives, with no remains found. Sun Wanlin, who cut corners and pocketed the profits, is the principal culprit, yet he managed to evade responsibility, shifting the blame onto those below him.

Yan Xiangli was at home when Hong Yunsheng entered the door and calmly introduced himself as the newly appointed chairman of Nandu Technology. He had come specifically to visit Yan Xiangli regarding a loan for Nandu Technology's latest project. Although Hong Yunsheng was not tall, he exuded an extraordinary demeanor. His speech was polite and humble, yet his manner was neither servile nor overbearing, which left Yan Xiangli momentarily unable to directly persuade him to leave, so he could only invite him to sit down and chat for a few moments. Someone like Yan Xiangli would certainly not engage in deep conversation with this unfamiliar visitor, and he did not accept the gift that was offered. However, Hong Yunsheng proceeded to introduce the development plans for Nandu Technology's projects and directly expressed his hope to obtain loan support from the commercial bank.

The old lady opened the door and looked at him carefully for a moment, then said softly: "Come in, let's talk inside"

Madam Yan: "I am busier at home taking care of the children all day long than you are; how could I possibly have the time to travel such a long distance?"

Unexpectedly, this statement provoked the displeasure of Mrs. Yan Xiangli, who interjected, "I originally had a dog at home, a black Cocker Spaniel named Huanhuan, and it was so lovable! I treated it like my own child... However, last year during its delivery, Lao Yan gave it away. ... Lao Yan, you must bring Huanhuan back to me!"

Hong Yunsheng inquired about the address and went to visit, carrying a small but very valuable gift, a particularly expensive watch from abroad. Knocking on someone else's door is actually quite nuanced, and this nuance primarily lies in the psychological momentum. Many people enjoy grandiloquent discussions, seemingly indifferent to the world, yet when they need to speak to their boss in the office, their hearts race before they even enter, hesitating for a long time about whether to knock on the door. If they were to visit a prominent figure's home, they would ponder extensively, and upon entering, they would be at a loss for words, as if they had committed a mistake.

Yan Xiangli said to his wife: "It has already been given to someone else, and that family likes it very much. How can we have the face to ask for it back?"

Hong Yunsheng: "Yan Xiangli, you are too polite; it is just a small matter, merely running an errand"

Hong Yunsheng quickly took out his wallet and said: "Name your price for the picture book, no matter how high it is."

Hong Yunsheng quickly said: "Not expensive, not expensive. The moment I saw this dog, I realized it is the noblest among nobles... This is a check, please take it."

When Hong Yunsheng was toasting, he kept smiling, but Xiaobai noticed that when he looked at Yan Xiangli, there was a feeling of disdain in his heart, or perhaps it could be described as mockery. As for the reason, Xiaobai did not know, but Hong Yunsheng was clear about it in his own mind. At the dining table, Hong Yunsheng recalled the first time he knocked on Yan Xiangli's door.

Hong Yunsheng: "That's too much, five hundred is the maximum, I will only accept five hundred, and I will return this five hundred to you"

Yan Xiangli: "I am so busy working all day long, when do I have the time? If you want to go, you go yourself!"

Yan Xiangli, upon hearing Madam's remarks about the puppy, inadvertently involved the guests as well, quickly exchanging a few polite words to dismiss the matter, while unintentionally revealing the puppy's whereabouts. The next day, Hong Yunsheng personally drove to a remote neighborhood in Wuyou City and knocked on the door of a household. An elderly lady in her sixties opened the door and, peering through the crack, asked him warily what he was there for.

Hong Yunsheng: "I apologize, but my son saw you walking the dog. He is very fond of this little dog! He insists that I buy this dog. May I ask if you are selling it?"

Is Hong Yunsheng crazy? A dog that isn't even worth two hundred yuan, and someone wants to sell it to him for six hundred thousand, and he is still pleased? In fact, Hong Yunsheng is very clear-headed. As soon as the old lady quoted a price, he confirmed his judgment that this dog indeed has a significant reputation. There must be a limit to such exorbitant demands; if it is bizarrely unreasonable, it can only be explained by other reasons. Yan Xiangli is secretly using this method to gain benefits! Hong Yunsheng calmly asked, "Old lady, why is it so expensive?" There must be a limit to such exorbitant demands; if it is bizarrely unreasonable, it can only be explained by other reasons. Yan Xiangli is secretly using this method to gain benefits! Hong Yunsheng calmly asked, "Old lady, why is it so expensive?"

The old lady said, "Not for sale!" as she was about to close the door.

Hong Yunsheng: "Then I will come again tomorrow. You must not sell this dog to anyone else."

Madam Yan: "I don't care, you must buy Huan Huan back, even if it costs money."

From the materials, Xiao Bai could only gather this information; he was merely a grassroots worker, who could only honestly cooperate with the directives of his superiors and the requirements of the listed company to draft a seemingly reasonable and legal risk assessment report. The report was completed within two days, and Lao Wang revised it once, allowing Xiao Bai to sign it and submit it. Three days later, it was smoothly approved at the review and loan meeting

On the evening following the approval of the loan, Nandu Technology hosted a banquet to entertain relevant staff from the commercial bank. At the table, Xiaobai encountered the legendary capital operation expert, Hong Yunsheng. He was somewhat surprised and also impressed to find that Hong Yunsheng was much younger than he had imagined, being only in his early thirties. Hong Yunsheng was not tall, standing at about one meter sixty, with a crew cut that gave him a spirited appearance. His conversation revealed a strong sense of superiority and a confident demeanor.

Hong Yunsheng was lost in thought, while the drinking table was still bustling with clinking cups. At that moment, someone’s phone in their pocket beeped twice, indicating a new message. The person took it out, glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Qingchen, that assassin Qingchen has new information! A post just appeared online, Qingchen is going to kill someone again!"

Yan Xiangli said apologetically: "President Hong, what are you doing? The esteemed chairman is helping my family buy a dog."

Before Qianrihong Group acquired Nandu Technology, the company's stock was still referred to as Nandu Machinery, and its controlling party was the Jinsha Group from Wuyou City. At the beginning of last year, Nandu Machinery purchased a technology company under Qianrihong Group for 180 million. By the end of last year, Qianrihong Group bought the controlling stake of Nandu Machinery from Jinsha Group, also for 180 million. This back-and-forth transaction, through simple capital operations, allowed Qianrihong Group to use Nandu Machinery's own funds to acquire the listed company and inject the assets of a technology company under its umbrella.

How the operations were conducted privately remains unknown to the layman.

Yan Xiangli took out one thousand yuan from his pocket and said, "You must accept this money; I cannot allow you to spend any of your own."

The elderly lady said, "I am old and have not seen much of the world, so I do not know how to use this piece of paper; I only accept cash"

This is entirely a matter of psychological resilience. In fact, any door in the world can be confidently and openly knocked upon, as long as you have a reason to enter.

Hong Yunsheng instinctively sensed that there was something wrong with this couple's conversation. He immediately stood up and said, "I used to have a dog as well, and the bond was truly special... How about I help out? Where did Yan Xiangli send that little dog? I have some free time these days, so I can go and retrieve it for you."

Everyone at the table stopped using their chopsticks, and in unison they asked, "Who? Who is he going to kill this time?"

Hong Yunsheng asked through the door: "Elder, do you have a little dog named Huanhuan at your home?"

After much insincere back-and-forth between the two, Hong Yunsheng ultimately could not resist Yan Xiangli and accepted the one thousand yuan. This marked the beginning of his dealings with Yan Xiangli's family. When he later returned to the commercial bank to formally apply for a loan, the process went much more smoothly. That was just the first step; subsequently, Hong Yunsheng and his subordinates undertook considerable efforts and finally secured the loan, totaling 280 million.

Sun Wanlin! It turns out he is from Wuyou City!
