Chapter 345: The Wine Bureau
Yang Lian found Niu Jinxing, who was drinking in Taibai Building, and saw that he was drinking happily, so he asked the owner of the hotel to add two good dishes, and then came to Niu Jinxing. It's not that Yang Lian, as an official, is afraid or wants to tie up Niu Jinxing, but he now wants to solve the problem in Suzhou, and he has to ask Niu Jinxing, after all, he is also from the Donglin lineage, and he is very sympathetic to the current situation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank.
For Yang Lian, Niu Jinxing must be very respectful, but seeing that he still has a large number of shareholders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, this makes Niu Jinxing feel very uncomfortable. On the one hand, they were still opponents a few days ago, and the two sides were still engaged in a life-and-death game, and their faces were a little indelible. Second, Niu Jinxing felt that Yang Lian was still a little nerdy, he didn't know much about things in the mall, and he took people too seriously, but he didn't know how to be flexible, especially these extremely greedy businessmen were too anxious and didn't know if they were used by others.
sighed slightly in his heart, but he still gave Yang Lian enough face, stood up and bowed slightly to Yang Lian, and said, "Is Lord Yang also coming here to drink so coincidentally?" It's really better to pick a day than to touch a day, and I was also thinking about having a few drinks with Lord Yang, but I saw that the adults were busy with things and didn't dare to disturb. It seems that Lord Yang has a free time today, so let's sit down and have a few drinks! ”
Originally, as Zhu Youxiao's commercial housekeeper, Niu Jinxing's status was very special, and he had a very good relationship with Yang Lian and other officials of the bank, household department, and Ministry of Industry. Of course, this is not to say how much Niu Jinxing bribes them, but to provide a lot of taxes, and it is also a model of law-abiding, so that their various policies can be implemented well, saving them countless tongues, and encountering illegal behaviors, as long as they mention Niu Jinxing, they will make those people speechless, but looking at Niu Jinxing's tone of fortification today, Yang Lian has some extraordinary, and after thinking about it carefully, Yang Lian understands that he has done some Meng Lang, or is too angry, and some of the meaning of betraying Niu Jinxing.
Yang Lian is also a very smart person, seeing that Niu Jinxing's tone doesn't want to be called a brother like usual, he quickly changed his tone to talk to Niu Jinxing, "Hello Niu Shopkeeper, Xia Guan talked about some things with his colleagues from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank today, and when it was time to eat, he came out to find a restaurant together, and unfortunately I met Niu Shopkeeper, or let's eat together, by the way." In business, why can I be regarded as half a businessman in this business, many friends and multiple roads, let's also talk about business things, okay? ”
Niu Jinxing hurriedly smiled and said: "Thanks to Lord Yang for not giving up, I am very willing to make a game with Lord Yang, please take a seat, let's have a few drinks to our heart's content, even if it is a stammering official." Ha ha. ”
Yang Lian didn't care, so he beckoned several major shareholders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank around him, sat at a table with Niu Jinxing, and introduced everyone to each other, although these people may not know Niu Jinxing, but there are still necessary courtesies.
It should be said that China's dinner culture is very special, it can not only pull into the relationship between people, but also solve countless contradictions, this kind of indulgence at the wine table, the atmosphere of wanton conversation topics is very suitable for business negotiations, which is not long the table people began to call brothers.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, these people began to talk about the world, from the top to the various allusions of the Yanhuang era, down to the bottom life of the brothel culture are their topics, just the most important banking dilemma no one dares to talk about it, as if everyone is avoiding this matter, even if the major shareholders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank are anxious, if Yang Lian does not mention this topic, they dare not take the initiative to talk about it.
Yang Lian was also a little anxious in his heart, but whenever he wanted to mention the bank problem, Niu Jinxing would skillfully avoid it, and even tell a vulgar joke to everyone, which made Yang Lian always feel a little awkward, after all, Yang Lian is a very honest and honest official belonging to the upper class, and he is not familiar with some vulgar and scoundrel things in the market language, and he gradually drank a little dull, on the contrary, the shareholders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank are very interested in talking, as if they have met confidants for many years. The topic of Bull Venus continued to unfold, causing constant laughter at the wine table, and it seemed very harmonious, at least the scene was like this.
The scene at the wine table was very lively, Niu Jinxing controlled the main body of the conversation, and the shareholders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank did not dare to reveal it even if there was a lot of psychological bitterness. Niu Venus chattes, they talk about the world, no one will change the topic casually, they also try to curry favor with Niu Venus, even if they can't solve the problem of bank run today, and Niu Venus can be familiar with each other, and business will be smoother in the future, as for Yang Lian's emotions, although they are somewhat sympathetic, but in front of the more powerful Niu Venus, they will not be able to change.
Niu Jinxing also knew that Yang Lian didn't like this kind of scene, but he also had his own bitterness. According to his original plan, he wanted to take advantage of the turmoil caused by the grain, through the wave of runs, to completely control the equity of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank in the hands of the royal Tenglong Bank, if they dare to continue to resist, it will not be between the bankruptcy of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, although this is a huge reputation loss for the entire banking industry, but without such a selfish consortium, there will be no such forces that cause trouble to the people in the future.
But now it seems that the situation is a little difficult, since Yang Lian brought these people to find him, this must be that these people already know their purpose, as for how these people know their purpose, Niu Jinxing is not too clear, but this matter cannot continue to operate, otherwise Tenglong Bank and Daming Royal Trading Bank will become the target of public criticism, and it will inevitably make all the banks start to target themselves, so that no matter what they do in the future, they will definitely consider whether they will be fooled first.
Today here can only be a pure banquet, Niu Jinxing decided not to talk about any topics about the bank here, in order not to let others have a little bad idea of the royal business, Niu Jinxing decided to give up his original plan, so that although he lost an opportunity, but it made people have a kind of royal business is the most benevolent and noble company in the Ming Dynasty, and continue to be a model for Ming businessmen.
For the sake of royal business, Niu Jinxing did not hesitate to pretend to be the most vulgar businessman, this is the so-called business, do not interfere in any policy matters of the country, and even in order to adjust the atmosphere of the wine table, Niu Jinxing also told a most vulgar joke.
Niu Jinxing said: "I'll cheer everyone up and tell a joke. It's said that in a brothel, everyone is talking about how strong their ability is, and no one is convinced, and this thing can't compete with each other, and there is no way to verify that there are cheaters, what should I do? Let someone else prove it. A man said to the person next to him, "You prove it to me, how about I give you a hundred taels of silver when I turn around?" As a result, the person said a sentence that made the person proud and cry, do you know what this sentence says? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew how Niu Jinxing would say such a joke, because everyone is also a businessman, naturally these Fengyue occasions drank a lot of flower wine, and the boasting of the word let not be less, especially the man who would not say that he couldn't, but Niu Jinxing suddenly said such a joke, so that everyone guessed what kind of words this person said, which made this person proud and crying?
Niu Jinxing said with a smile: "This friend of his, stood up to prove to him, the day before yesterday, I went to your house to deliver money, and my sister-in-law warmly entertained me, and finally she said that among all your friends, your little brother is the most powerful." ”
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yang Lian stood up and told everyone that they were almost drunk, hurry up and go home to rest, let's talk about it later, because he finally understood why Niu Jinxing never got to the point, because he hadn't understood what the emperor meant, so he led such a group of people to find Niu Jinxing without authorization, Niu Jinxing must have been unprepared, or he did something wrong in a hurry.
