Ten minutes later, Ye Longlin sat opposite them and said with a smile, "Can we talk now?"
The two nodded. "My name is Xin Jin, and the person next to me is Zhang Qin. We've been assigned to discuss financing matters with Baichuan Group."
"Mr. Ye, I see that your company doesn't have many people yet. Is it a shell company? If so, we regret that we cannot agree to your financing needs. And you should know, we are a state-owned entity, so..."
Ye Longlin didn't say much, took out his military ID, and handed it over.
When the two opened it, an instant chill shot up the back of their heads. They widened their eyes, staring at the document in front of them, feeling their breathing become labored. Shock appeared in their eyes, clearly, they had not expected the person sitting in front of them to be someone no one in the capital dared to offend!
The Commander of the Three Armies!
"If you suspect the document is fake, you can report to your superiors and have them investigate."
Ye Longlin said nothing more, his tone very calm, merely shaking his head slightly. It seemed they didn't take this matter seriously enough. If they had, they wouldn't have sent these two people who didn't know their own identities.
Soon, after the two confirmed their identities, their superiors indicated that a remote conference would be initiated directly.
"Marshal Ye, hello. We are extremely sorry. We were not aware of your true identity before. After the conference, I will personally visit Chang'an with the head of the Financial Supervision Bureau to apologize."
The Minister of the State-owned Capital Operations Department said apologetically in the video.
"There's no need. Because last night was too late and this morning too early, the Hall of Honor couldn't issue a document. By five o'clock this afternoon at the latest, you will receive an order from the Hall of Honor. I can tell you this order in advance.
The order is: all state-owned departments shall unconditionally cooperate with Baichuan Group in all commercial activities in Chang'an, whether it's personnel allocation or financial matters. You must fully cooperate and not allow the slightest error!
So, I'm having you come here to support the financial aspects. The amount needed is substantial. Consider this a heads-up, so you don't say later that I didn't inform you in advance."
The head of Capital Operations also smiled awkwardly, remaining silent for a moment.
"How much financial support do you need from your side?"
The head then asked.
Ye Longlin held up three fingers.
"Three hundred billion? No problem. Give me a corporate account, and I'll transfer it to you before five o'clock."
Transferring it before five o'clock meant he still wanted to see the order from the Hall of Honor first.
Ye Longlin shook his head.
The head: "Is it thirty billion? Thirty billion, although a bit small, is no problem. I can directly approve thirty billion and have it transferred to you within an hour at the latest."
Ye Longlin continued to shake his head.
The head's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed, his eyes widening. "Could it... could it be thirty trillion..."
"Yes, thirty trillion. If there are any further unforeseen circumstances, we may still need your support."
Ye Longlin nodded and said.
The head's mouth twitched. "Well... Marshal Ye... are you building a city? Thirty trillion... is truly a bit..."
"If this matter is not handled well, many heads will roll. Of course, I also know that it's difficult for you. I will urge the Hall of Honor to issue the documents as soon as possible. Therefore, I also hope you can expedite this. At the latest, I want to see this money by tomorrow morning!"
Once this money arrived, Lin Tian'ai would directly submit the listing application!
Originally, Xuan Niao was supposed to accompany Lin Tian'ai to Shanghai. However, due to the Mo family's involvement, after returning last night, a message was sent to Yuan Gang, asking him to accompany Lin Tian'ai. Xuan Niao remained here.
"Marshal Ye, thirty trillion is indeed extremely difficult. I can directly approve financing in the hundreds of billions. Financing in the trillions requires many procedures, taking at least a month at the fastest, and up to a year or more at the longest. You're asking for trillions at once... all of our state-owned departments will have to discuss it, and we'll also need to see if the treasury actually has that much money right now."
Ye Longlin nodded. "Of course, you have your procedures. At the latest, I want a response by this time tomorrow. If there's no response, I will directly contact the Hall of Honor and ask the Supreme Commander to sign off for direct allocation from the Ministry of Finance. What the Hall of Honor and the Supreme Commander will do to rectify the state-owned sectors then will not be my concern."
This was a threat, a direct threat.
Or rather, Ye Longlin was directly telling them that he had other channels to get money, and if the Supreme Commander got involved, they should handle it themselves.
"Understood, understood. Please rest assured, I will contact the heads of all departments now to have them come back for a meeting. I will give you a reply as soon as possible."
"Xin Jin, Zhang Qin, you two stay in Chang'an for now. Don't rush back. Wait for my news tomorrow."
After hanging up the video conference, the head, Qin Weiguo, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and picked up the phone on his desk, dialing the office.
"This is Qin Weiguo, connect me to the office director."
"This is Old Zhou."
"Director Zhou, something has happened. The situation is like this..."
Qin Weiguo then informed him of everything he had encountered, almost recounting his conversation with Ye Longlin verbatim.
"It is indeed quite troublesome. If this matter is not handled properly, a considerable number of people will lose their heads. And if this matter can alarm the Supreme Commander, it means it's a matter of national security. Furthermore, the Hall of Honor's cooperation indicates something extraordinary.
So, you come to my office first. I'll contact all department heads to attend a meeting. In the meantime, quickly investigate the current structure of Baichuan Group. Once the document from the Hall of Honor is issued, immediately arrange the financial matters."
From Old Zhou's tone, he had directly agreed to Ye Longlin's request!
Thirty trillion!
That was thirty trillion!
It was enough to circle the Earth once!
"Understood."
He could only agree. The main reason was that Ye Longlin's words were too frightening, and they had to quickly convene a meeting to see where to get this thirty trillion from!
It was almost the end of the year, and where were they supposed to get thirty trillion from!
They didn't even know the current financial situation, so they would have to ask the finance department later!
Qin Weiguo exhaled a puff of smoke, rubbed his temples, and muttered to himself, "Why am I the person in charge? Why can't someone else be in charge? I've been doing this for so many years, and I've never encountered something like this!
I'm almost retiring, and this matter is going to cost me my head? It shouldn't be, no, I definitely have to give him the money!!"
