Chapter 195: Borrowing Money to Trade
I laughed and said, "Isn't it expensive?" Do you have three million? Jack said, "Let's buy this house, plus the purchase of things, it cost nearly 100,000 yuan, that is really not very expensive." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "I counted with my fingers, I was almost more than 300 stone a year, it should be more than 3 million yuan, and when I thought that I could actually earn more than 3 million yuan a year, I was suddenly a little excited. But think about it again, the price here is quite high now, and the more than 3 million is estimated to be less than 300,000 in modern times. It's not a lot to think about. According to their consistent words of 1,000 yuan, I am 3,000 yuan a year, and if I don't eat or drink, it is estimated that I will be able to buy a restaurant in the Yuan Dynasty.
I laughed when I thought about it, and I said, "According to my current fortune, I will live another thousand years before I can buy this restaurant." Gan Ning actually comforted me and said, "You may be promoted." I scolded my mother: "I'm especially ranked as the third duke, and I have a maximum of 2,000 stones, so won't it take hundreds of years?" ”
Jack said, "You can't count like that, he wants a million, let's give a million!" Ping Yinan whispered: "That's right, I heard that Dong Zhuo is now privately minting coins, and many prices have risen." "I was stunned, he made his own money? It's caused by inflation, huh? I can't say it's so unreliable.
I asked, "If this is a goal first, do you have anything else?" Cangyou said: "The ones that are too small do not meet the standards you said, and the big ones are generally not sold, and most of the big ones have something to do with the court officials behind them, and there are too few like this." ”
I sighed, pointed to the paper on the table and said, "So that's the one you saw this day?" Ping Yidong said: "I have seen a lot, but this is suitable, the rest are small shops with one or two floors, and I can't buy them at all, and some of them have to be rebuilt from scratch, so it's another amount of money." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, you're okay anyway, I'll continue looking for it tomorrow." Alas~ I've been here for so long, and for the first time, I feel shy in my pocket~ Sure enough, it's hard to move an inch anywhere without money~" Jack said: "If it doesn't work, I'll borrow some from my uncle again?" ”
I waved my hand and said, "You have borrowed so much, your uncle is a military general, how can he have so much money, I will go to Meng De and ask to see if he has it." Chanjun asked at this time: "That, I can also go home and try it." I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, it's good if you don't get scolded when you go back, and if you borrow money again, your father and mother won't have to blast you out." ”
Chanjun sighed and said, "If it doesn't work, let's find a small shop to open first, and slowly save money before opening a big one." "I rubbed my temples, it seems that the original goal was a bit big, it turns out that the price here is so high, it seems that the high price of the imperial capital is a historical problem.
I said, "Let's all disperse today, and I'll go back tomorrow, but it really won't work, so we can only start small." Ge Xuan said: "It's okay to start small, no matter what, everyone is less stressed." The crowd nodded. Jack said, "Well, you'll have to work hard to see it tomorrow, and you know how much money we have now." If you really can't do it, just find one that you can bear. After everyone nodded, everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.
The next morning Jack said, "Don't stay here every day, go to the barracks with me, you can't just take money and do nothing!" The three of us were all smiling. I said, "You go first, and I'll see if I can borrow money." The three of them said hello and left.
I rode to Cao's Mansion alone, and when the doorman saw that it was me, he pushed open the door and smiled at me and let me in. I found Brother Meng De's study with ease, and saw Cao Ang practicing swords in the courtyard at the door. As soon as Cao Ang saw that I was coming, he threw his sword and ran over: "Uncle, you are here!" “
I smiled and touched his head and said, "Well, is your dad there?" Cao Ang nodded, took my hand and pushed the door, and walked into the study. When he entered, he shouted, "Daddy, uncle is here." The people inside came out with a bang. Brother Meng De smiled and said, "Something to find me?" “
I frowned: "Hey! Can't I come over to see my eldest nephew? Brother Meng De poured me a cup of tea and said, "Sit down and say." After the two of us were done, I said to Cao Ang, "You go to practice the sword first, and I'll play with you later." Cao Ang nodded and ran out.
I said to Brother Meng De, "There are very few rich people in the world, and you are one of them. Brother Meng De looked at me with strange eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!" I said, "I said, there are very few rich people I know, but you are a little richer." ”
Brother Meng De was stunned: "What you just said is this wealth?" How much do you want? I scratched my head and said, "Uh~ a million!" : Brother Meng De took a sip of tea and sprayed it on the ground and said, "You want my life?" Why do you want so much money? I said, "I want to open a restaurant, and when the time comes, you will call all the people in the court to dinner, and I will ask Jack to find his uncle to call people to go, so that the officials will come and go often, and they will definitely be popular." ”
Brother Meng De smiled: "You think that you are the first person in the whole city to think of this, I have attended at least twenty times about this matter." I was stunned: "So much? Brother Meng De said: "Nonsense, you are a fool when these people in the court and the central government, they just live on such a little money?" There are few deals under the imperial court. ”
I frowned, "What about you?" Brother Meng De said, "I'm not good at that bite." I said, "Then what are you keeping your money for?" Come, lend me a business. I'll count you as a shareholder, and I'll give you dividends when the time comes. Brother Meng De was stunned: "What are you talking about, but I still advise you not to open it, it's not that I don't want to give you money, but there is no profit at all." ”
I was stunned: "Why?" Brother Meng De snapped his fingers and said: "Now that Dong Zhuo is in power, the official tax is half higher than before, and there are people on the ground, don't you have to deal with it?" And Dong Zhuo is now collecting a circle of taxes in the city every once in a while, even if you make money, you will lose it. Buying and selling here is to make money for Dong Zhuo. ”
I sighed, "Holy, so dark? So how did those merchants survive? Brother Meng De said with a smile: "Most of them are Dong Zhuo's cronies and important officials, except for the little official tax they pay, the rest don't have to pay at all, how do you compare with them." “
I said, "I'm also Dong Zhuo's subordinate now?" Brother Meng De smiled: "You? A lieutenant won't pay any attention to you. Those who open big deals, the lowest are all senior officials above the third grade, you are a small lieutenant of the fifth grade, do you think you can cover it? “
I sighed and said, "Then I don't care, I'm a small twenty people in a room now, and I'm almost out of food, and I'll starve to death another day, you remember to collect the body for me." Brother Meng De laughed and said, "Can you kid starve to death?" Don't cry with me here. I waved my hand: "I really don't, we just bought a house or the money from the family, I bought all the belongings of the house." Now there are twenty people in the house, how do you let me raise them? “
Brother Meng De said helplessly: "Where did you get so many people to live with you?" You're so full and have nothing to do! I said helplessly: "It's all friends, do you think I can care?" And people don't want to eat, this is not to support themselves and start a business to make money. “
Brother Meng De said: "Alas~ You now know that it is not easy to be at the head, right? That's why I don't dare to recruit until now, is this a lot of people? It's about financial resources! I waved my hand and said, "Don't tell me this big truth, what I'm talking about is now, I'm here now, and I can't sit back and eat." “
Brother Meng De frowned and said, "Alas~ You really think of a play." In this way, you open a small one first, if you make money, I will give you money to open a larger one, if you don't make money, you won't lose, what do you think? I said, "I thought the same thing yesterday, I don't need to borrow money from you for the little one, and the money that Jack took from his uncle is still there." “
Brother Meng De waved his hand and said, "Then don't you have to pay it back in the end?" I'll give you some, and what you earn will be yours, and what you'll lose will be mine. I laughed and said, "That's embarrassing." Brother Meng De glanced at me and said, "What are you polite to me?" I nodded and said, "By the way, we have a killer here recently, I don't know what she is doing, but I feel that she is here to kill the big guy, don't worry, I asked her, she didn't kill you." ”
Brother Meng De was stunned: "What's the situation?" I briefly told him what had happened. Brother Meng De smiled: "You kid can really fool, I almost believe what you say." But you'd better be careful with this person, there is no morality in doing what they do. ”
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are many masters on our side, even if we tear our faces, we won't suffer." Brother Meng De nodded and said, "Well, that's good, I guess this is which lord in the court is blocking the financial path of the criminal master you mentioned." I thought about Brother Meng De's words and said, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. ”
Brother Meng De said: "Now that you are careless at this time, you don't even know how you died, so you must not go out to find trouble." I said, "You don't know me, I'm so afraid of death." Rest assured. Brother Meng De said, "Okay, I'll go and get you the money now, you wait a minute." ”
I said, "What's the hurry?" Brother Meng De said: "I think I'm as idle as you, I'll have something to do later." I said, "Okay, then I'll go to the door to play with my son." Saying that, the two of us walked out of the study, Brother Meng De walked towards the inner hall, and I said to Cao Ang: "How is the practice, come, give me a set of brushes." Cao Ang nodded and said, "Okay, uncle is optimistic." As he spoke, he began to dance.
A sword danced in Cao Ang's hand, and the movements were coherent without a trace of hesitation. I nodded and said, "Yes, who taught you?" Cao Ang said, "This is what my father taught me." I said, "Do you like to practice swords?" Cao Ang said, "Yes, but I prefer to fly kites." ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find a grandfather to teach you a few tricks when I have time, and I'll take you to kite flying when you learn it." Cao Ang slapped his face and said, "Okay, then uncle must do what he says." I smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you learn it." Cao Ang said, "Okay, I will definitely study hard." “
