398. Nanhai Dong

The decision has been made, and the remaining vote is just for the shareholders to decide whether to retire or stay. After a while, Nangong Jin glanced around and announced the start of voting, but told everyone that Ling Zheng and Mrs. Li Zhifu had agreed to this decision and would not withdraw their shares.

Feng Mo'er laughed and was the first to agree. thought that she was just relying on the Nangong clan, but who knew that she could have the imperial court as a backer, which she had dreamed of. I was afraid that others would not think of it, so I deliberately smiled and mentioned that Nangong Jin had the identity of a general given by the emperor, and asked everyone in a pretended ignorance, "This auspicious record can be regarded as an official businessman, right?" ’

However, Nangong Jin didn't expect that the second person to agree would be the Nanhai Dong family, that is, Yao Fangyu's junior brother Dong Run's family.

After that, Qifengzhuang, Fuyuexing and Quanzhou Chen all agreed. So far, all shareholders who have formally contributed to the condominium committee have been unanimously approved. The remaining minority shareholders and those who gave away shares have no reason to disagree.

I knew it was so simple, and it was really nerve-wracking before.

This will go very smoothly, Wu Xin didn't have any doubts, and quickly arranged the work, after all, it was only half a month.

There is only one seagoing ship in the harbor that is resting, and it can immediately go to sea to the moon port. Wu Xin will also take Feng Mo'er with him to open a branch with the ship to Yuegang. The boat rented by Feng Mo'er was still at sea, so she decided to stop at Yuegang for three days before continuing her cruise at sea. The only thing that could not arrive on time was the ship to and from Nanyang, which should be on the way back and would arrive at the port of the moon a few days later.

Everything was done, and Nangong Jin was relaxed again. This matter of relying on ship taxes to increase the revenue of the state treasury, Boss Qian is right, this is not what he should do at all. All I have to think about is how to make money after doing what I ask for. But in this way, Xiang Ji has become a semi-public official businessman and imperial businessman, and he should have privileges.

Back at the residence, Yao Fangyu was drinking tea with Dong Run in the flower hall to catch up. Nangong Jin glanced at the window, and didn't want to disturb them, but when Dong Run saw him, he excitedly shouted 'brother-in-law', and trotted out in three steps and two steps. Seeing Nangong Jin standing at the door, he stepped forward and saluted, and shouted 'brother-in-law' again.

Nangong Jin smiled and nodded, thinking that he had something to do, but didn't answer. But Dong Run just stood with a flustered expression, not knowing what to say at all.

Yao Fangyu followed behind Dong Run, a little surprised by his actions, and saw Nangong Jin looking at her, with an inquiring look in her eyes, she could only frown and shake her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Your senior sister often mentions you, I haven't seen you for a long time. Also, how is Xiaodong now? Nangong Jin asked with a smile, patted him on the shoulder casually, and led him to the flower hall.

"Xiaodong, I haven't seen you for a long time." Dong Run lowered his head and walked forward.

Nangong Jin and Yao Fangyu glanced at each other, and the two of them deliberately slowed down two steps at the same time. Yao Fangyu said softly in Nangong Jin's ear: "It seems that there is something on your mind." I asked, but he didn't say. Waiting for you? ā€

"Which girl is embarrassed to speak?" Nangong Jin guessed.

Yao Fangyu gave him a blank look and quickly followed.

Dong Run returned to the previous chair and sat down, bowing his head and not speaking.

Seeing that he didn't mean to speak, Nangong Jin asked with a smile, "Are you from the South China Sea?" Just arrived today? ā€

Dong Run nodded unconsciously, and said while shaking his head, "I...... It's been there a long time ago. "I just seem to have just reacted.

Sure enough, it was absent-minded, Nangong Jin looked up at Yao Fangyu, and deliberately said to her: "Xiao Run is rare to come, let the kitchen prepare a few more dishes he likes to eat, and clean up the guest room. ā€

Yao Fangyu glanced at Dong Run and understood that Nangong Jin was afraid that she would be there, but instead made Dong Run embarrassed to open her mouth and deliberately pushed her away, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go now." ā€

"No, senior sister." As soon as Yao Fangyu walked to the door, he was stopped by Dong Run. But after a few more moments, he still didn't say anything else.

Yao Fangyu walked up to him and asked softly, "Xiao Run, what's going on?" You know, no matter what happens, Senior Sister will definitely help you. ā€

Dong Run nodded, took a deep breath, but still lowered his head, not daring to look at them, "Our Nanhai Dong clan is bankrupt." ā€

Nangong Jin was stunned, and didn't understand what he meant, "What?" ā€

Yao Fangyu was also shocked, although the Nanhai Dong clan is not as large as the Nanhai faction, nor does it have the financial resources of the Nangong clan, but it also has a hundred years of inheritance, from this point of view, it is no worse than the Pingyang Nangong clan.

"We're done. All the properties in the South China Sea were sold, and even the ancestral houses were ....... Dong Run lowered his head, as if he didn't look at them, before he continued.

"It's not over, you still have Xiangji's shares, do you want to withdraw your shares? As I said today, if you want to withdraw your shares, you can count it as a dividend of one and a half. That's 10,000 ....... ā€

"Nope." Before Nangong Jin finished speaking, Dong Run shook his head and refused, "My grandfather said that Xiangji's shares can't be moved." ā€

When Dong Run said this, he paused for another moment, but kept his head down. After a while, Yao Fangyu saw his tears and asked worriedly, "Xiaorun, is your grandfather ......?" ā€

Dong Run shook his head, "We, our whole clan have moved out of the South China Sea. Grandpa didn't let me come to my sister, but I couldn't get angry ...... it. ā€

"Nanhai faction?" Nangong Jin guessed.

Dong Run nodded, "Since the beginning of this year, Master has returned to control the South China Sea. ā€

"He, he ......." Yao Fangyu's heart moved, and her face felt very hot, in fact, she didn't feel that she had any weakness, but she ......, and she really didn't know why.

"Originally, I asked the master to pay 30,000 taels of flat accounts, but at that time, the eldest prince of Nangong came to the South China Sea and asked about it. Later, ......, in fact, our Dong family's ship had just been hijacked by pirates. Dong Run lowered his head, always feeling that saying these words was the most difficult thing in his life.

After a moment, Nangong Jin asked, "Is it the South China Sea faction persecution?" ā€

Hearing Nangong Jin ask, Yao Fangyu was slightly unhappy, and said to Dong Run: "Xiao Run, explain the matter first, otherwise, I don't know how to help you." ā€

Dong Run looked at Yao Fangyu and whispered, "I'm afraid that my senior sister will be unhappy." ā€

Yao Fangyu smiled, "No, a lot of things have passed." You want me to know too, don't you? ā€

Dong Runxiang made up his mind, raised his head and said to Nangong Jin: "Brother-in-law, senior sister, Xu Baoshen colluded with pirates to rob sea ships. In the current South China Sea, as long as the ships going to sea must pass through him, otherwise even if the South China Sea sends its own ships, they will be robbed. Not only that, but the Nanhai faction originally cooperated with all the families in the South China Sea, but since last year, all the businesses have gone wrong, and almost all the families that have cooperated with the Nanhai faction have been borrowed from usury, so that not only the debts of the families are high, but even the Nanhai faction has been collected for debts. ā€

Nangong Jin frowned, a little incomprehensible, "Xu Baoshen? ā€

Dong Run nodded affirmatively, "Originally, it was uncertain, but whenever he came forward to mediate, the other party agreed to suspend debt collection, and several companies, including the Nanhai faction, no longer calculated interest, but they could not pay off the debt." Xu Baoshen has to issue documents every three months, otherwise they will raise interest rates to collect debts, and they will sue the government. ā€

"How much money did your family get into the trap?" Nangong Jin asked.

"Our family was 30,000 taels, and in the end, we settled the account with 43,000 and left the South China Sea." Dong Run said sadly, "I know that several family assets have been scattered and have not been able to pay them off, and they are still trapped in the South China Sea, and life is better than death." ā€

"He, how?" Nangong Jin still felt puzzled.

"Collusion with pirates." Dong Run said angrily: "The sea boats were robbed before, and it just so happened that there were people from the main family and boats in these robbed sea boats, and these people would be detained, even if they were not on their own boats, my family was my third uncle." Then, they would put back a couple of crew members to bring back the IOU. Ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 each, the lenders were not pirates, but wealthy firms. ā€

"Since you're a pirate, why don't you sue the official?" Yao Fangyu finally asked.

"We were the first to sue, and we are not the only ones who are suing. But from the day of the lawsuit, business in our clan came to a complete standstill. The government sealed off our shops and warehouses, saying that they suspected us of selling the stolen goods for pirates. Because before, Xu Baoshen had already reported to the government that the South China Sea faction and its partners colluded with the pirates to sell the stolen goods for the pirates. ā€

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be that even the Nanhai faction's own property has been seized?" Yao Fangyu continued to ask.

"Yes." Dong Run nodded, "At that time, almost seventy percent of the businesses in the South China Sea were closed. Dali firms come to my house every day to ask for debts, the third uncle has been detained, two seagoing ships and one of the family's ships have been destroyed, and the property has been sealed. Even the government does not crack down on pirates, saying that several of us have made false accusations, and we are required to pay money to withdraw the case, otherwise we will be punished. After taking a breath, he continued: "We lasted for almost half a year, tried everything we could, and then received a handwritten letter and a finger from the third uncle. Grandpa said that he couldn't spend any longer, sold all his property, and after redeeming the third uncle, he left the South China Sea directly. Fortunately, before, because of the business of Hexiang Ji, we set up a Zhuangzi in the countryside of Quanzhou. ā€

After Dong Run finished speaking, there was silence in the room. After a while, Yao Fangyu asked, "Now, how is the Nanhai faction?" ā€

"Hmph." Dong Run sneered, "The Nanhai faction is Xu Baoshen's, and it's not good to say, even the South China Sea is his." The 30,000 taels he owed were returned to the public high school at the end of the year. If the senior sister wants to ask, where did this money come from? He snatched it! ā€

Nangong Jin was silent, looked at Yao Fangyu, and asked hesitantly, "You said Xu ...... Collusion with pirates, well, do you have proof? ā€

"I—I'm ......." Dong Run didn't expect Nangong Jin to ask like this, so he became anxious. "These things are known throughout the South China Sea, and you can know them if you ask."

"Xiao Run, senior sister believes in you. Now, your whole family is in Quanzhou? Yao Fangyu asked.

Dong Run nodded.

Yao Fangyu smiled, looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Old Man Dong has always been visionary, and he is also very decisive in doing things. Ah Jin, it just so happens that they all moved to Quanzhou, why don't you have time and let's visit? ā€

"Okay." Nangong Jin nodded and said with a smile: "As a junior, this should be." Why don't you do it tomorrow? Today, Xiaorun stays here for a day, and tomorrow we go together? ā€

"This, this ......." Dong Run's expression was embarrassed, "Senior sister, brother-in-law, can you not tell my grandfather, I, I told me about this?" Grandpa confessed, this matter is not mentioned. ā€

Nangong Jin laughed, "Of course not." I have so much to ask the old man here. The shopkeeper Wu went to Yuegang to open a semicolon, and I really need personal guidance on the matter of Xiangji. ā€
