Chapter 222: The Man Behind the Scenes

As soon as Old Lady Shen heard this, she was so angry that her beard was cocked, and she slammed her cane to the ground, and said angrily: "Good you Xue Baokun! Good you Xue family! In vain, we have trusted your Xue family for decades, and it turns out that our silver has been swallowed by you!"

Xue Baoliang hurriedly stood up, looked at everyone, took a deep look, and said: "Please Mingjian, when my father was alive, he never used a penny of silver in his account, and the money he earned was the first thing he thought of buying food, clothing and weapons for the Eastern Qi army, and the rest of the money had to be saved for emergencies." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Father used to say that even if we tried our best, we couldn't let the soldiers go hungry to protect us. ”

Hearing this, everyone quieted down and lowered their heads, everyone knew that this was indeed what Old Man Xue would say.

Xue Baoliang's eyes were full of tears, wiped it with his sleeve, and continued: "But after my father fell ill, the Xue family fell into the hands of Xue Baokun. My father and I strongly objected at the time, but he didn't listen. Therefore, after my father died, I left Xuefu. ”

Everyone is an old man in Lian Bicheng, of course, they can tell whether Xue Baoliang's words are true or not. Xuejia Qianzhuang used to be the same as Liancheng Qianzhuang, there were only three, and it was after Mrs. Xue's serious illness that nearly twenty were opened one after another. It is true that it has monopolized the money business of Lian Bicheng, but the cost is also huge, and it is absolutely impossible to return to the capital in a short period of time.

Lin Wan stood up and said, "Second Uncle Xue, please take a seat! The affairs of the Xue family, we all know very well, it was all caused by Xue Baokun. However, if no one pushes the flames, I believe that Xue Baokun will not have such courage. ”

Everyone's faces showed doubts again, who else is behind this scene?

Lin Wan continued: "The reason why Xue Baokun has such courage is because he thought that someone would support him, but he didn't expect that after the accident, it was this person who was the first to escape from Lianbi City. ”

Old Lady Shen was stunned and blurted out, "Prince Ning?"

Lin Wan was also taken aback, does this old lady Shen also know Zhou Tianxing? Lin Wan nodded and said, "This is the person." Let's not say what his purpose is, but if the matter is done, he will control the economic lifeline of Lian Bicheng, and even the Qi family will have to listen to him. If things fail, he can also make a profit from it, because King Ning is the biggest proprietor of the money village in the capital. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they finally understood the hidden mystery. If Liancheng Qianzhuang didn't make a move this time, it would be the Jingcheng Qianzhuang who benefited. However, they are all old rivers and lakes, and no one will believe that King Ning's move is just to make money.

Old Lady Shen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Miss Zhou, aren't you really here to inspect Lian Bicheng on behalf of today's saint?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Although my surname is Zhou, I am not a princess. Brother Chengkuan is also surnamed Zhou, and he is not a prince, right? I'm just putting forward my opinion, and it's the seniors themselves who make the choice. ”

Old Lady Shen nodded, no longer asked Lin Wan's identity, and said, "Please Miss Zhou tell me your suggestion, we will definitely consider it." ”

Lin Wan stood up, bowed his knees to everyone, and said, "Thank you seniors for your trust in the juniors." ”

Old Lady Shen showed a loving smile on her face, raised her hand, and said, "Miss Zhou, you don't have to be polite. If you really want to be good for Lian Bicheng, then we should be thanked!"

Lin Wan stood up straight, no longer polite, and said loudly: "The juniors have thought of three plans, which can be considered by the seniors, or if you have better ideas, you can also put them forward." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Wan, and they all nodded in agreement.

"First of all, the shops of Jubao Qian Zhuang are now going to be sold, if you are interested, you can use the silver ticket in your hand to buy first, and the highest price will be won. We will buy the rest in the whole city to-morrow, but we will first give the money to the poor people. Lin Wan said.

A few bosses present showed a hint of interest in their eyes, but they were not in a hurry to express their position, wanting to see what better options there were, and asked, "What about the second?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and continued: "Second, we have even collected the silver tickets in your hands, but we have to sign a three-year term, and even the principal and interest can be withdrawn at any time after three years. These money can be regarded as lent to the Xue family by Liancheng Qianzhuang, and the Xue family's future operation will be in charge of Xue's second uncle, and he will return the money to Liancheng Qianzhuang after earning it. ”

Originally, there were still people who had the idea of Jubaolou, Jubaoge and Jubao Rice Shop, but now that the Qi family has come forward and helped the Xue family keep part of their business, this idea has been ruined.

However, they are not in a hurry to use the money now, and the silver will be redeemed and deposited in Liancheng Money Bank, so it doesn't hurt if they sign a three-year fixed-term term, not to mention that there is still money to take.

Lin Wan saw that everyone had no opinions, and continued: "Third, if everyone must cash in the silver, it's okay." However, wait at least another three months. Because we now have the silver ticket of the capital bank, we can't redeem the silver, and we say that we will have to wait at least three months. Or, let's exchange the silver ticket directly with the money in the capital to everyone, what do you think?"

The hall was silent for a while, everyone was silent, and no one took the lead in expressing their position.

Lin Wan turned around and walked back to his seat, sat down slowly, picked up the tea bowls on a few cases, and took a sip, the temperature was just right, and the maids had already come in and changed twice.

After a long time, it was the old lady Shen who broke the silence first and said: "The old man has seven million taels of silver tickets in his hand, and he is willing to use two million taels to buy the two Jubao money houses on East Street and West Street, and the remaining five million taels, of which three million taels are deposited in Liancheng Bank, and the old man is willing to sign a three-year term." There are also two million taels of old men who want silver tickets from the capital bank. ”

Lin Wan secretly said in his heart, it was indeed an old fox. Lin Wan nodded, turned to look at Xue Baoliang, and asked, "Second Uncle Xue, do you see if this price is appropriate." ”

Xue Baoliang nodded and said, "Those two money houses have the best location, but the price of two million taels is also fair, of course Old Lady Shen will not let our juniors suffer." ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then let's do it." Mr. Song, give Mrs. Shen the silver ticket, the house deed and the silver deposit agreement of the bank. ”

"Yes, miss. Song Man hurriedly responded, turned around and went into the inner room to get those things.

After a while, Song Man came back with two bookkeepers holding two boxes, and there were two maids holding the four treasures of the study.

Old lady Shen signed the agreement very happily, took the deed and the silver ticket and left.

The remaining merchants also began to get anxious when they saw that Old Lady Shen had already selected the two best bunks of the Xue family. scrambling to put forward which shop they want, the price is fair, for fear that others will grab it. (To be continued.) )
