Chapter Five: Four Million Controls Four Hundred Million

Luo Zhenhai, owner of Terminal Seven Storage, kept Jiming waiting for two hours. “Kunze owes me thirty-six million and pledged sixty thousand tons of electrolyte material.” He struck the table with his teacup. “You offer four million for the debt. Do you think I cannot count?” “Only twenty thousand tons are real,” Yanqiu said. Luo's hand stopped. She had touched a delivery order upon entering the warehouse. The hidden ledger showed that one cargo had been duplicated into nine receipts and pledged to three banks and six suppliers. If Terminal Seven admitted negligent inspection, it would lose the thirty-six million and face joint liability.
