Chapter 023: Going to the meeting alone
"What? Did you go to Deyue Tower today and meet Zheng Ze? Yuan Xianling was shocked when he heard Lu Xiaoyu go back and tell him that he had seen a person named Zheng Ze in the restaurant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Lu Xiaoyu finished describing the appearance of Zheng Ze's scarred face, and with a beard on his face, there was a chance that it would be Zheng Ze.
"Lord Yuan, what is the origin of this person, even you are shocked when you hear his name." Lu Xiaoyu didn't dare to say it, and from Yuan Xianling's eyes, he read more horror.
"This person's case, I know that he will not give up. He is not a simple person, and your meeting with him tonight must have been arranged by him in advance. This person's city is not simple. ”
Lu Xiaoyu was taken aback, this person's various behaviors are no different from drunkenness, and he is a whim of Deyuelou, saying that he is indeed a little confused about where he set himself up.
Yuan Xianling looked at Lu Xiaoyu puzzled, and then said: "If you want to talk about the origin of this person, you have to talk about his ancestors, who were very famous as early as the Spring and Autumn Period." Originated in Zheng Guo at that time. There were bandits and a large uprising, and Zheng Ze's ancestor was the big leader of the city. At that time, it was rumored that the wealth and gold they had accumulated were enough to buy the entire Zheng Kingdom! ”
Lu Xiaoyu was taken aback when he heard this, and he really met a big tyrant today, and he was still the richest man.
"You don't have to be surprised, now is different from the past, since our Chu State unified the Central Plains and invaded the Zheng State, they confiscated a large amount of their property, and they were also forced to flee from Liang to Wuyue, but they also secretly hid a small treasury for future generations to use. In this Zheng Ze's generation, he is not like the previous generations to do things restrainedly, but is very flamboyant, relying on usury to roll money. Because of the long scar on his face, everyone called him Scar Zheng behind his back, and he didn't care about it. In fact, he has a chivalrous heart, often helps the poor people, and he will help any difficulties, but he is a little short-tempered. In Guangling City, he is a figure that everyone knows and everyone knows. But this time Zhang San's case was because of the high loan he borrowed, which ruined other people's families. This official took advantage of Zhang San's case to eradicate his business, after all, this is an act that harms others and benefits himself. But he found you. ”
"Lord Yuan, I think opening the money bank is an opportunity for him, and why not a way for us to build up Guangling's economy?" Lu Xiaoyu briefly talked to Yuan Anbang about his idea of opening a money bank and the mode of operation, and Yuan Xianling nodded at first, and then shook his head with a frown.
"This money bank's mode of borrowing money seems to be in the form of usury before Zheng Ze, and it is absolutely unacceptable." Yuan Xianling objected.
Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly explained: "My lord doesn't know, in this day of war and chaos, there are two kinds of people who urgently need money, and these two kinds of people are enough to leverage the economy of the entire Guangling and even the entire Southern Chu. That is, the savings of the common people and those who want to buy officials (in the Southern Chu period, officials can be bought with money), we take money from the people, and then lend it to those who have no money but want to buy officials, and pay back to the people at usury. When we make more money, we can open pharmacies and porridge factories to serve the people, why not? Lord Yuan, I know that you agree with the practice of others buying officials, but imagine that if we don't lend him money, he may borrow other people's illegal loan sharks, which will cause panic in the society, so it is better to directly legalize this matter properly. I think that Zheng Ze found me, not only because of my accounting skills, but also because he must also know the relationship between me and adults, and it will be convenient to do things in the future. Why don't you let me do it freely, it's not our money anyway. ”
Yuan Xian Ling nodded appreciatively after hearing this, "It's still Brother Xiaoyu's thoughtfulness, although this matter is a bit risky, but I absolutely trust you, so I will do as you do, and when your money village opens, I will personally come to give you a flat so that the people can be convinced." ”
Lu Xiaoyu was grateful: "Lord Yuan is really thoughtful, the people of Guangling will have a better life in the future, but it all depends on your words today." ”
Yuan Xianling was slapped very comfortably by Lu Xiaoyu, an unaware sycophant.
Lu Xiaoyu didn't sleep well all night, and he silently took a pen to sketch out the prototype of the money village in his mind. Although I have never opened a bank in modern times, I have never opened it, I have never seen it. After pondering all night, I finally sorted out the future profit model and construction structure of the bank. Thinking that he now has the support of Lord Yuan from the government, and Zheng Ze from the underworld injecting funds into himself, it can be said that he has achieved both black and white. The next thing to do is to finalize this first.
At noon the next day, the four Kaifeng brothers and Chen Qingyan heard that Lu Xiaoyu was going to see a ruthless character like Zheng Ze, and they all took the initiative to ask to accompany Lu Xiaoyu to go together, so they could take care of it. But how can Lu Xiaoyu not pretend to be forced at this time, and go alone to meet the real hero, isn't it all like this on TV. The moment he stepped into the Deyue Tower, he completely regretted it.
The entire Deyue Building is full of Zheng Ze's people, and he actually wrapped up the entire Deyue Building for this matter, and asked people to handle it layer by layer, for fear that others would not know that he had made a big move, and it was really flamboyant.
"Brother Lu is really a man of his word, and he came alone, I am a rough person, but I admire smart people and courageous people. Brother Lu, it's good that you take both of these things, I really admire that. Come, I'll toast you. Zheng Ze said, he had already drunk a large bowl of wine.
Lu Xiaoyu thinks he is a good drinker, and when he was in college, he and his classmates didn't get drunk and didn't go home. But according to Zheng Ze's drinking method, after a few bowls, he will have to fall down, and when the time comes, don't think about opening a money bank, just open a winery. In desperation, Lu Xiaoyu still gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and let go.
As a result, as soon as he took a sip of a bowl of wine, he felt that something was wrong. I may have drunk fake wine. This wine looks quite scary, but it is very mild to drink, at most a dozen degrees. What Lu Xiaoyu didn't know was that there was no such high-grade wine as modern at that time, and it was all wine made from grain fermentation.
Lu Xiaoyu drank a bowl of wine in one go, glanced at Zheng Ze with contempt, and pretended to be heroic when he drank this wine, at this level, he drank a jar without panting.
Zheng Ze was taken aback by Lu Xiaoyu's drinking, and immediately laughed: "Brother Lu, I really like you more and more." I didn't expect you to be not only wise and brave, but also so good at drinking. I've always boasted that I'm the best drinker in the world, and it seems that I have met an opponent today. Come on, let's drink another one. ”
"Alas, drinking is such a happy thing, then you must wait until you do something happy to drink to feel more comfortable, Brother Zheng, let's not discuss the matter of Qianzhuang first, and then get drunk and rest, what do you think?" What Lu Xiaoyu was afraid of was not that he was drunk and made a mistake, but he was afraid that Zheng Ze would be out of proportion when he drank for a while, and what he wanted to do today would be ruined again.
"Well, it's better to get down to business, and we'll drink it later." Zheng Ze immediately changed his serious expression and said.
Lu Xiaoyu said to Chen Pugong: "Brother Zheng, don't be surprised, I still think you were a little unreliable when you were drunk before yesterday's incident, but later I learned some of the deeds of the eldest brother from Yuan County Ling, which can be said to have shocked the younger brother." The eldest brother is righteous and squandering money, righteous and thin, full of chivalry, which makes the younger brother admire. The ancestors are all people who rob the rich and help the poor, and they can be said to be the queen of famous families.
Lu Xiaoyu insisted on saying that Zheng Zezu's identity as a robber was robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he lied without blinking, but Zheng Ze was righteous and helped the people, otherwise Lu Xiaoyu would not have decided to partner with him to open a money bank, and Yuan County Ling would not easily agree to this appalling initiative. praised Zheng Ze so much that he almost gave him all the gold.
The matter of Qian Zhuang was discussed very smoothly, Lu Xiaoyu took Zheng Ze a thousand taels of gold and gave him an injection first. Now is different from the past, you can't borrow usury, so the profit will definitely be reduced, but it is more reliable than the unstable interest before, and with the support of Lord Yuan, the natural loan can basically be returned. Zheng Ze heard that he could still rely on borrowing money to roll money, and he was already happy, so he didn't care if he had more money or less money, for him, he was already grateful for the legal business that even Yuan County's order agreed. He is not greedy, Lu Xiaoyu can give himself a dividend every year, and this thousand taels can be regarded as his start-up capital.
The two talked happily with each other, and it wasn't until the evening that Lu Xiaoyu drank Zheng Ze down, and then he staggered out of the Deyue Tower alone, and the gold was naturally sent back to Lu Xiaoyu's residence by Zheng Ze in advance.
