Chapter 1108 I Lied to You

"Is one hundred million still a lot? I think it's too little."

Luo Feng explained: "As for... the specific research content cannot be disclosed at the moment, it is confidential."

"But Intercontinental Island asked for 100 million in cash to prove my financial and network strength."

"This……"

Zhao Ming was a little speechless.

One hundred million is not too much?

And it has to be all cash, which not only tests a person's personal cash flow, but also tests the person's identity and whether he can mobilize the identity levels of various banks.

However, these two points are indeed not difficult for Luo Feng.

It’s only one hundred million, so it’s normal that Luo Feng feels it’s too little.

After all, researching this kind of thing would require a lot of money.

In fact, when he thought this, it meant that he believed what Mi Shitao said.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "This is not a trivial matter."

"Such a huge amount of cash flow must be ensured to be legal and compliant."

"So... Mr. Luo, take a look and see if you would like to provide the relevant documents."

It’s not that he doesn’t believe that Luo Feng can’t come up with the money.

But as a manager, he felt that since he had to take out this money suddenly and it was not a small amount, he had to conduct an audit.

Besides, if something really happened, his superiors would not forgive him.

Check it now to be prepared for future troubles.

Luo Feng knew the other party's concerns, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, Director Zhao, all my operations are within the legal scope."

However, he didn't know how to provide the other party with the specific procedures.

After all, when Mi Shitao told him about it, she said it was a very private matter.

"How about this, you go call Section Chief Mi, that is, Mi Shitao, the Section Chief of the Publicity Section of your Intercontinental Island."

"You can find out what she told me by asking her."

Luo Feng thought about it and decided to just tell the other party this.

Zhao Ming hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Okay, since you are the spokesperson for Intercontinental Island, I believe you."

"No need to call, and no need to trouble Chief Miko, but I still want to remind you, Mr. Luo, to be cautious."

Having said this, he paused and deliberately lowered his voice.

"To be honest, there have been a lot of disturbances recently. I wonder if Mr. Luo Feng has heard about it?"

After all, Luo Feng is so famous, and he has also heard some rumors.

"You have 100 million in cash. If you run into any risk once you leave this door, that's your problem. We can only try our best to help you get the 100 million in cash together."

What Zhao Ming said was not just a hint, it was already telling him clearly.

Luo Feng has offended so many people here, and he defeated Ren Chengye at the exhibition and took over the highly anticipated Coral Island, which means he is destined to have many enemies in the future.

If he walked out of the bank, his enemies would most likely steal his 100 million in cash.

By then, there will be nothing to do with Zhao Ming, who has a close relationship with the Qing Dynasty, and the bank.

Luo Feng understood what he meant. He nodded and pretended to be grateful, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Director Zhao. I will be careful."

With Lin Naizi here to provide information, if someone really does something bad to him, the other party will inform him in time.

Besides, Luo Feng hadn’t done anything for a long time, and he was itching to do it.

"By the way, with such a large amount of cash, how about I ask someone to help you move it?" Zhao Ming thought of something and asked again.

"That's not necessary. You can just provide me with a good truck so I don't have to do it myself. Just consider it as training." Luo Feng said lightly.

Moving money to exercise...

Luo Feng’s words really made people feel uncomfortable.

Several female bank staff members nearby had shining eyes and they all wanted to stick to Luo Feng and not get off.

"Since Mr. Luo said so, I won't force it."

Afterwards, Zhao Ming led the staff of the Finance Office to check and register the cash, and only left the scene after ensuring that everything was normal.

Before leaving, he warned Luo Feng again and asked Luo Feng if he needed someone to come over to watch over and escort him.

Luo Feng knew that the other party meant well, so he politely refused.

Looking at the mountains of cash, he felt filled with emotion.

Although one hundred million is not a lot of money for him.

But when you see the 100 million in cash piled up in front of you, it is still spectacular enough.

Of course, it is still very difficult to gather 100 million in cash in China.

Not to mention 100 million, you need to make an appointment if you want to withdraw more than 50,000 yuan in advance.

But this is the Intercontinental Island, and using their country's currency to collect the 100 million is much easier than Luo Feng imagined.

He was originally worried that there was not enough time, but now after all this, there is still a lot of time left, so he is not so anxious anymore.

But in order to reassure Mishitao, he still gave her a call.

"What did you say? Did you really gather together... 100 million in cash?"

Mi Shitao was dumbfounded when she heard this.

What time is it now? It's much faster than she thought.

Moreover, the 100 million yuan was collected in the morning, even before the armored truck got off work.

She originally thought she could delay the time until the deadline, after all, it was impossible for a bank to have so much cash.

But now Luo Feng had everything gathered at once, which made her a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know what to do next.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have said this then."

Mi Shitao sighed secretly, she was also very distressed.

After hearing what Mi Shitao said, Luo Feng always felt that the other party didn't seem to want him to collect the 100 million.

Is there some hidden secret that he doesn't know?

But on second thought, that shouldn't be the case, as this woman had already had intimate contact with him.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to ask, "In other words, I should have successfully entered that project now, right?"

"There is no deadline yet. You have already got the last spot."

Mi Shitao had no choice but to tell Luo Feng.

"That's good, that's good. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get into this project and wouldn't be able to help you."

After Luo Feng finished speaking, Mi Shitao was actually very moved.

No matter what, the other party really wanted to help her wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Luo Feng also believed in her performance, so he was willing to collect the 100 million in cash in order to give her an explanation before the deadline.

But for Mishitao, this was a lie she had to tell.

She said this on purpose so that Luo Feng wouldn't think too much.

In fact, she had no other choice. The pressure from her superiors became stronger day by day. They just wanted her to hurry up and get the information about the aircraft from Luo Feng.

But ever since that incident between her and Luo Feng, she could no longer approach him with such greedy motives.

This also made Mi Shitao very distressed for a while, but he still couldn't overcome his own psychology.

Everything depends on human efforts. It seems that we must give it a try.

And Luo Feng also put him here, she couldn't tell the other party that there was no such project and that she had been lying to him, right?
In this way, her status in Luo Feng's heart would inevitably plummet, and he would be even less likely to believe what she said.

Mi Shitao took a deep breath and said, "See if you are free today. Let's make an appointment to meet and talk about the contract for this project."

Luo Feng nodded, "I don't have anything to do today, just send me a message when you are free and I will go meet you."

In fact, he was quite proactive, and Luo Feng also wanted to know.

What kind of project is it that requires him to collect 100 million in cash, and only cash, no transfer.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Mi Shitao hung up the phone.

On the other side, Luo Feng calmly packed 100 million in cash, one bundle at a time, neatly into the trunk of the car.

He went through the back door of the bank, which was a special channel opened for him by Zhao Ming.

Under the sunlight, the pile of banknotes looked like a mountain of gold shining with alluring light.

"Don't mention it, moving money is really a physically demanding job."

About fifteen minutes later, Luo Feng finally moved all the money into the back of the truck provided by the bank.

He brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands and was about to open the car door and leave.

"Mr. Luo, wait a minute!"

A female staff member came over with a blushing face.

"Is there anything wrong?" Luo Feng asked.

"That... this is what my colleague asked me to give you."

As she spoke, the female staff member handed the envelope and threw it on the seat, then ran away with a blushing face.

Luo Feng frowned slightly, not knowing what these people were doing.

Just then, his sharp eyes swept across the street behind the bank and several furtive figures came into view.

There was greed in the eyes of those men. It was obvious that when Luo Feng was moving the money just now, they had set their eyes on his cart of cash.

Oddly enough, the back door of this bank is a small courtyard, and the entrance is connected to the street, where goods are usually loaded and unloaded.

Luo Feng frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. He didn't take these people to heart at all.

The wages of avarice is death.

Luo Feng got into the car and started the engine.

He still has important things to do. If these minions really dare to attack him, they will be asking for trouble.

As for the female staff member, he threw the envelope she had just given him aside without even looking at it.

On the street behind the bank, several stalkers gathered together and whispered.

"Hey, guys, I think that guy must have a lot of money in the car." A tall and thin man said in a low voice.

"Let's go, follow him and find a chance to attack him." Another guy with a fat face said viciously.

"Wait, what if this is a money transport truck, do you want to die?"

Another person stopped them.

"What the hell, a money transporter? You've seen a money transporter being transported by a truck like this. Besides, he doesn't even have a weapon in his hand. He's alone, so he's probably just delivering goods."

"If we miss this opportunity, we won't have it anymore. Are you going to do it or not? If we go, you can just watch us!"

The burly man with a face full of flesh said impatiently.

"The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. Stop hesitating!"

The tall and thin man at the beginning was also trying to persuade him.

"Okay then... I'll drive."

Finally, the man couldn't resist the temptation of money and the persuasion of his friends and agreed.

As soon as Luo Feng's car drove away, these people hurriedly jumped into a shabby van and followed closely behind.

In the van, the tall and thin man stared nervously at Luo Feng's car in front of him, "Be smart, don't lose it."

The guy with a face full of flesh rubbed his hands, "Let's find a secluded place and take care of that guy. The money will be ours."

The driver didn't say anything, but he always felt that Luo Feng's appearance was a little familiar.

In fact, the three of them didn’t see clearly how much money Luo Feng had stuffed in. They just came over when Luo Feng’s money was almost gone.

So they only saw Luo Feng packed two or three bundles and thought it was just a small amount of money, which would be fine even if robbed. But they never expected that it was 100 million.

Luo Feng saw the van following closely behind him through the rearview mirror and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Are these guys really here?"

He drove slowly, thinking to himself that these people were really asking for their own life.

The people in the van behind were still dreaming of getting rich, having no idea what they were about to face.

Ding!
A message sounded.

Luo Feng originally thought that it was a message from Lin Naizi, telling him that he was being followed.

Unexpectedly, it was Mi Shitao.

"Mr. Luo, this is not good. I just got the news that the other party has paid an extra 100 million yuan, which is exactly 200 million yuan, which has exceeded you."

"The higher-ups are considering whether to give him the last spot in this project."

Luo Feng sneered in his heart. This "coincidence" and haste were obviously unreasonable. There must be some hidden story behind it.

Combined with Mi Shitao's recent situation, he couldn't help but wonder if he had found some loopholes in the opponent.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly typed on the keyboard and replied, "Chief Mi, it is indeed difficult for me to collect another 100 million in such a short time."

"But, you also said that since this is the last chance, I think... I will try my best."

After sending the message, Luo Feng did not take immediate action, but instead called Lin Naizi and briefly explained the situation.

"You mean, there's something wrong with that phone?"

Lin Naizi frowned slightly, "But I still say that it will be difficult to find out any information in a short time."

"It's okay. Continue to investigate the source of the mysterious phone call last night and the real motive behind Mishi Tao. Tell me when you have any news."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Feng fell into deep thought.

He suddenly realized that this was more than just an investment.

Maybe... it involves complex power, or some kind of interest game between him and the officials of Intercontinental Island.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Mishitao to do this.

Up to now, Luo Feng has not figured out the other party's motives.

As time was running out, Luo Feng decided to split his troops into two groups.

He contacted the director of the Finance Office, Zhao Ming, and the bank he was related to again, trying to borrow funds temporarily. (End of this chapter)
