Chapter 1066 The Deadlock (Part I)

• “Regal Peaks stock is high risk right now, sure. But even with risk, it still has real value. Especially now that Regal Peaks and Chengkai have resumed working together—Chengkai is already injecting capital to restart production and growth. If this keeps up, Regal Peaks should stabilize without big issues.” At this point, Chadwick Fullner couldn’t hold back anymore. He had to drop Chengkai’s name and push hard with the folks at the exchange. “So Regal Peaks isn’t going bankrupt. At least not short term—not in the next year or two. And we won’t need the loan longer than that, tops. Even if worst comes to worst, when you appraise Regal Peaks’ assets and convert those numbers, these shares are still worth way more than a few tens of millions, right? So your reason just doesn’t hold water.”
• Chad had dealt with banks and loans plenty of times. He knew getting a loan meant haggling and circling, trying to win something more reasonable, maybe even better terms. But what they were hitting today… yeah, this was new. One rejection after another. Back when his tiny Jiajia needed loans, he could get them without a hitch. Yet now, with stock worth a fortune, they got shut down at the door. He had no choice—he had to fight for the loan. So he kept pushing, hard.
• “Mr. Fullner, you’re judging this from your angle. We have our own evaluation system, professional review, and our rules.” The manager stayed polite and apologetic, already packing up documents—clear sign this was wrapping up.
