The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 4021
Andre hurriedly took the thick stack of documents Charlie threw at him and carefully flipped through it.
After reading a few pages, the corners of his mouth curled into a delighted grin. His flattering expression from before returned as he looked at Charlie with an oily smile." Why, Mr. Wade! You really are an extraordinary man! You're even doing business in Vancouver. This cargo ship is secondhand, but it still costs twenty million US dollars. That's not cheap!"
Charlie was indifferent. "It's only a fifteen thousand ton cargo ship. It's nothing!"
Then, Charlie growled impatiently, "Stop spewing nonsense. How much money can this cargo ship be offset for? Give me a number."
Andre was actively brainstorming the best outcome.
His gang often transported contraband in and out of Canada by sea.
Due to their lack of financial strength and resources, they didn't have their own cargo ship. Thus, they were always borrowing cargo ships from other parties to transport their goods.
As they were handling illegal dealings, borrowing cargo ships was very costly. Sometimes, it would even account for more than 30% of the overall cost!
Andre dreamt of owning a cargo ship, but the heavy price tag was completely out of his reach.
Now Charlie had appeared, taking the initiative to send Andre the ship he had always dreamt of. What luck!
If Andre didn't seize this opportunity, he'd hit himself over the head for missing out on such a golden ticket. This was a Godgiven chance!
His first thought was to make Charlie lose again. The more that Charlie lost, the better it would be for Andre. In fact, it'd be best if he could make Charlie lose to the point Charlie gave up the cargo ship. Wouldn't he be getting the cargo ship for free?
He soon came to a decision. His mind made, he said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade. Since your cargo ship was traded for twenty million US dollars, I can give you at least fifteen million Canadian dollars as mortgage. How much do you need?"
Charlie said indifferently, "You can
hold on to these documents first and get someone to prepare two
million Canadian dollars' worth of et
chips for me. I'll ask to borrow more from you when I lose them all. You can return the document to me if I win and pay you back the chips that I owe you."
Andre nodded and said, "No problem! However, Mr. Wade, I have to make things clear to you in advance. You cannot borrow money from me for free. The starting interest is 10% with an additional% for every subsequent day. Since you are borrowing two million Canadian dollars from me, you will have to pay me two hundred thousand Canadian dollars in interest, even if you are going to return the money to me immediately today. That would bring the total to 2.2 million Canadian dollars. Starting from tomorrow, the interest rate will be twenty two thousand Canadian dollars."
Charlie said flippantly, "Okay, okay. I got it. Just get me the chips."
Andre looked at Gopher with a bright smile. "Gopher, get the chips for Mr. Wade!"
Gopher was just as excited. The two million Canadian dollars plus the mortgaged cargo ship mean that Charlie would be losing seventeen million Canadian dollars in total! Gopher would make a fortune simply from drawing his commission! He prepared the chips in diligent haste, hoping that Charlie would lose a little faster.
Much to his delight, Charlie didn't let him down.
This time, Charlie's performance at the gambling table mirrored his impatience.
He bet large amounts, even going so far as betting two to three hundred thousand Canadian dollars in one hand.
In under half an hour, he lost the two million Canadian dollars' worth of chips
When Andre saw the annoyed look on Charlie's face, he couldn't stop grinning gleefully. "Mr. Wade, it seems your gambling luck tonight isn't very good. I was about to give up on that last round, but I realized that your trump card can't defeat mine!"
Charlie gritted his teeth and cursed loudly,' Damn it! I can't believe this!"
He turned Gopher and barked coldly, "Bring me another two million Canadian dollars!' Andre was quick to remind Charlie, "Mr. Wade, that'll be four million Canadian dollars!"
