Chapter 19: The Money Crisis
Hearing that his father Cui Hong hoped that the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet could lose both the pirate fleet under the command of Seventh Uncle Cui He, Cui Wentao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Cui Hong and Cui He are half-brothers, because Cui Yi, who was the same mother as Cui He, suddenly disappeared mysteriously, as the second son of Cui Hong in the same generation, he can inherit the position of the head of the Cui family.
Cui He has always thought that the disappearance of his eldest brother must be the ghost of Cui Hong.
He has always been indignant that Cui Hong took over the position of head of the family, and later broke away from the Cui family, became a pirate, and became a living king of the coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires.
The twenty-two pirate ships under Cui He's hands are all owned by Cui He personally, and they have no direct affiliation with the Cui family.
"Father, you and Uncle Seven...... Misunderstanding, is it really impossible to unravel it?
If the seventh uncle can return to the family, our Cui family will be equivalent to adding a fleet. ”
"Unravel? Hmph - he has been detaining your uncle's missing basin on his father's head, if it weren't for the brotherly love, what kind of living Hades, I would have made him a dead Hades! ”
Seeing his father's anger, Cui Wentao hurriedly changed the topic, "Father, the rifle production equipment and bullet production line have been pulled to the factory, and several wolf technicians hired with high salaries have begun to guide the workers in installation. ”
Cui Hong nodded slightly, "Wen Tao, this gun and ammunition factory is very important to our Cui family, and you have to think more about the gun and ammunition factory in the future." ”
"Father, rest assured, I would go to the factory every day to keep an eye on the rifle production equipment and bullet production line before it was put into operation."
Then Cui Wentao said: "Father, last night, the loser of the Zhou family threw millions of silver coins at the auction.
Photographed four high-level warriors of mixed bear blood, as well as three high-level martial artists and six intermediate-level martial artists.
According to the way that loser spends money, I suspect that the Zhou family may have recently gained a huge fortune. ”
"It does make people suspect that the father has sent someone to investigate.
Recently, you have to pay more attention to that girl in the Liu family, and when you marry her, you will have no problem being more defeated than that Zhou Rui! ”
At the Liujia car dealership in the south of the city, Zhou Rui didn't expect to meet Liu Yiqiu, the eldest lady of the Liu family, and Sun Xiushu, who he used to admire very much.
Of course, the current Zhou Rui will not immediately stick to the past and continue to kneel and lick Sun Xiushu as before.
Zhou Rui just nodded to the two beauties, Sun Xiushu and Liu Yiqiu, and concentrated on choosing a car.
It was Liu Yiqiu who took the initiative to come over and say hello to Zhou Rui.
Knowing that Zhou Rui wanted to buy a car, Liu Yiqiu also instructed the shopkeeper of the car dealership to give Zhou Rui a preferential price, and the Liujia car dealership is also the property of Liu Yiqiu's family.
After Zhou Rui spent 240,000 silver coins to buy eight eight-seater jeeps produced by the Silver Wolf Empire and left, Sun Xiushu said to Liu Yiqiu angrily: "Sister Yiqiu, why are you giving that loser a discount, looking at his wealthy posture, there is no difference of 40,000 silver coins at all." ”
The jeep purchased by Zhou Rui was sold at the Liujia car dealership for 35,000 silver coins each, and due to Liu Yiqiu's greeting, each car was 5,000 silver coins cheaper.
Liu Yiqiu sneered, "Xiushu, why did Zhou Rui offend you again?" ”
"I just can't get used to his appearance of a local tyrant, what a veritable loser!"
"Aren't local tyrants bad?
Hehe, I think you can consider Zhou Rui, so that you can be the wife of a local tyrant. ”
"Sister Yiqiu, don't talk nonsense.
It's not like you don't know how much I hate that loser! ”
"No kidding, Xiushu, you continue to pick a car, which one do you like, and give you a factory price today.
I went to find the shopkeeper Hu and had some things, so I picked it up and went to the office to find me. ”
"Sister Yiqiu, you're the best!"
In an office of the Liu family's car dealership, the shopkeeper Hu said to Liu Yiqiu with a sad face: "Miss, these 3.6 million silver coins are the last bit of liquidity for the head office and the twenty-seven branches. ”
In the twenty-eight cities under the jurisdiction of Fengwu Town, the Liu family has opened a Liujia car dealership, which is used to sell cars imported from the six major beast countries, and will also provide various after-sales services, including vehicle maintenance.
The Liujia car dealership in Ganyang City is the head office, and the Liujia car dealers in the other 27 cities are all branches.
Liu Yiqiu said helplessly: "Uncle Hu, you also know what the situation is on the Qian Zhuang's side.
Although the news of the real loss has been blocked as much as possible, it is impossible to hide it from everyone after all, and now many big families and beast merchants in Fengwu Town are swarming to exchange silver and gold coins in various places, and the money village is already a little unbearable. ”
It turned out that Liu Yiqiu's father, Liu Dongsheng, was unwilling to be confined to Fengwu Town, so more than a year ago, he dredged up the relationship between Zhenwei Town and opened dozens of Liujia Qianzhuang in 23 cities under the jurisdiction of Zhenwei Town.
However, what Liu Dongsheng didn't expect was that after the war between Fengwu Town and Zhenwei Town, Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion confiscated all the dozens of Liujia money houses in Zhenwei Town on the charge of collaborating with the enemy.
As a result, not only did coins worth more than 20 million silver coins exist in these dozens of Liujia money villages, but they were also looted by the Zhenwei army, and gold and silver tickets worth more than 50 million silver coins fell into the hands of the Zhenwei army.
Even if the Liu family is wealthy, they can't afford to lose more than 70 million silver coins.
Liu Dongsheng couldn't afford to be sick because of this incident, so the Liu family can only rely on Liu Yiqiu to support it now.
"Miss, the gold and silver tickets made by our Liujia Qian Zhuang are numbered.
Many of the gold and silver tickets that were snatched away by Zhenweijun were new tickets, and their numbers were connected, couldn't they be invalidated?
That would reduce a significant part of the loss. ”
Liu Yiqiu sighed and said: "The actions of the Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion are too fast, before our Liu family reacts, the Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion used the gold and silver tickets that it grabbed to order a large number of weapons and materials from the merchants of the six major beast countries.
Now most of those gold and silver tickets have fallen into the hands of the beast merchants of various countries, if we don't recognize those gold and silver tickets, the consequences may be even worse than now. ”
Shopkeeper Hu hesitated and said: "Miss, the hole in the money village is too big, even if you take all the 3.6 million silver coins from the head office, it will be a drop in the bucket."
I heard that the Zhou family bought three warships and ammunition this time, and the 12 million silver coins spent were all 50-kilogram silver bricks.
Moreover, the Zhou family will expand four infantry regiments with a strength of more than 3,000 people, which proves that the Zhou family should still have a lot of cash, if the Zhou family can deposit the cash in their hands in our Liujia Village, it may be able to relieve the pressure on our Liujia Village. ”
Liu Yiqiu sighed again, "I have also thought of this, but unfortunately, even if the Zhou family agrees to deposit all the cash in our Liu family's bank, it may not be able to solve too big a problem."
After all, in order to expand the army, the Zhou family will continue to spend money in the future, not to mention that the Zhou family has a young master who can defeat the family.
The young master of the Zhou family just exchanged a golden ticket worth 5 million silver coins at our Liujia Qian Zhuang yesterday morning, but I haven't been happy for long, this young master Zhou spent millions of silver coins at the auction of the Nine Star Hotel at night.
Early this morning, Holke, the chief steward of the Nine Star Hotel, came to our Liujia Money Village for gold and silver coins. ”
After listening to Liu Yiqiu's words, Shopkeeper Hu knew that the 3.6 million silver coins in the head office could not be kept, "Miss, what should I do with the car dealership?" ”
"Aren't there still a lot of cars in stock at the twenty-eight car dealers? Stick to it first!
In addition, contact the major suppliers to see if they can get a batch of vehicles on credit. ”
Shopkeeper Hu nodded frustratedly, "Alas-well, that's the only way to do it now." ”
