Chapter 313

"Mr. Zabinski, you are not only young andpromising, but also frank and straightforward."A bank leader smiled and said, "Now that you say so, let's stop beating around the bush. Our bank promised two loans to Zabinski Group, but since your company is not qualified to continue the loans, we have decided to stop lending to you."

"Not qualified to continue the loans?" Robertlooked confused and looked at the bank leader who spoke. "I'm curious. How do you know that Zabinski Group is not qualified to continue the loans?"

To be exact, although Zabinski Group was not as good as before, it still had the qualification of loans.

Today, these bank leaders came here just to show Kendrick their loyalty.

Zabinski Group and Zabel Group were two groups, as well as two factions.

"Mr. Zabinski, your company's writtenapplication for this commercial loan stated that it would be used for the development of the Bay City Holiday Resort, and from what I

understand, your development has been severely delayed."The bank leader said, "We assess that the commercial value of the land is now below the loan amount."

"Assess?" Robert looked puzzled."I'm curious.What are the criteria for your assessment?"

The bank leader said, "As for assessment, our bank has its own standards. You don't have to worry about it. We now expect you to pay back the loan immediately, Mr. Zabinski."

"Pay back immediately?" Robert knocked on hisdesk and said,"This loan has been used for the investment of Bay City Holiday Resort. How am I supposed to pay you back now?"

"That has nothing to do with us."The bankleader shook his head and said, "It's your problem, Mr. Zabinski. If you don't pay back the loan by 5 pm today, we will apply for a freeze on the construction of Bay City Holida y Resort, and you will be placed on our list of discredited people."

Robert's face darkened. He had heard that the banks would ask him to pay back the loan, but he had no idea that they would be so ruthless.

Anyway, these people had worked with the Zabinski Group, for many years before. But now,

just because there were some rumors that the Zabinski Group was going to collapse, they couldn't wait to betray the Zabinski Group and turn to the Zabel Group.

Robert glanced at the other three and asked, "Do the three of you want the same thing?"

"Yes." The heads of the other three banks alsonodded vigorously.

Robert nodded and said, "Okay. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money before 5 pm, but are you sure you want to turn against us in this matter? In recent years, Zabinski Group has been very supportive of your work, hasn't it?"

For banks, there were huge loan tasks every year. When Zabinski Group was not short of funds, it would help them complete some tasks.

Although the Zabinski Group had to pay some interest, it could help maintain the cooperation between the two parties in the long run.

To put it bluntly, if the Zabinski Group wanted to borrow money, many banks would be happy to lend money to it, but the company had always chosen local banks in the past because it wanted to conform to local policies and took into account its long years of friendship with

these banks.

But now, not only did the banks walk away from Zabinski Group and demand repayment at this critical moment, but they also tried to make things worse for it.

“Mr. Zabinski, you're so funny.”The bank leadersaid,"We are banks. But you're saying we need the support of a corporation. Don't you think that's ridiculous?”
