Chapter 12 - The Convertible Debt Trap

Originally translated from the Thai language.

 

"Ah, Mr. Gawin... the CEO of Wonder Package. He is one of the most influential young executives in Thailand. More importantly, he is someone who recognizes the immense potential of our hydrogen project and is fully prepared to invest."

The room erupted into a sea of uneasy glances. Lu Rong sat motionless, his eyes narrowing into thin slits.

"How can you be so certain, Chairman, that this foreign investor seeks to join us for the future of hydrogen and not to interfere with domestic interests here in China?" Lu Rong fired back, his tone laced with caution.

Li Ming met his gaze with a defiant stare. "Why must we harbor such skepticism toward our investors? The grandeur of Pudong that we see today was built on the backs of multinational investments that drove our progress. This alone confirms that our hydrogen project is on the right path one that will undoubtedly generate massive returns for our nation's energy strategy."

Lu Rong's jaw tightened, his facial muscles tensing in suppressed rage. Li Ming offered a gentle smile, though his eyes gleamed with a predatory satisfaction.

"Mr. Gawin will be arriving to share his vision tomorrow. I am confident that this businessman will ensure our hydrogen project proceeds smoothly and secures significant profits for all of you in the future," Li Ming declared.

He let a faint smirk touch his lips as he swept his gaze across the room, watching the board members waver. The mere mention of "future profits" was enough to make their hesitation begin to crumble.
