These old foxes, if you fight with him, he will pretend to be confused with you, and he will definitely drag you until you lose your temper.

Yang Shuangzhi knew that it was useless to drag it out any longer, so he put the wine glass in his hand lightly, turned his head and said to Liang Shiqiu and the others: "Although Yang is meeting with the three for the first time, I believe that the three will not be strangers to Yang, and we have a lot of friendships in the past. ”

As soon as it changed hands, nearly half of the profits had to be given to these insatiable guys in front of him, how could Yang Shuangzhi be willing?

You must know that you have a mortgage, and these Jin merchants have no risk at all.

Tian Sheng hesitated for a moment, and took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Yang, since you say so, then let's be honest, King Jing and Mr. Yang, are people we respect, although they are in business, but the face of the two can not be given, in less than half a month to raise 800,000 taels of silver, in order to cash out, we will also suffer a lot of losses, if Mr. Yang can give us two months, let us calmly transfer the silver, then profit or something, easy to say, Mr. Yang, what do you think?" ”

If you have enough time, how can you pull down your face and beg these.

Recently, there has been a lot of movement, and Taisheng Commercial Bank seems to have smelled the wind and kept moving around, Yang Shuangzhi is really afraid of long nights and dreams.

Yang Shuangzhi didn't speak, and Zhong Qiuping on the side said with a smile: "If it weren't for the tightness of your hands, it wouldn't bother you, and please ask the three of you to stretch out your hands." ”

Fan Fa smiled bitterly and explained: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhong, you also know that there are rules for borrowing and lending, and the so-called spare money is used urgently, and it is a knife to be able to stab it. If it weren't for the prince's face and past friendship, this loan would not be nine out of thirteen, but a lamb loan, borrowing one to repay two. ”

There are many ways to make money, nine out of thirteen, donkey rolling, lamb loans, etc., once you can't pay it back. That's getting bigger and bigger, and many people have borrowed money and can't pay it back in their lifetime.

Admittedly, it is easier to return to nine-out thirteen than lamb loans, but this is to save face?

Yang Shuangzhi looked at Liang Shiqiu and pretended to ask casually: "Liang Da's shopkeeper is wealthy, even if he plucks a hair thicker than someone else's waist, he won't embarrass Yang like this with hundreds of thousands of taels, right?" ”

Among the three businessmen, Liang Shiqiu is faintly the leader. The reason is very simple, Liang's firm is one of the major shareholders of Dasheng Qianzhuang, Dasheng Qianzhuang is the leading Qianzhuang in Daming, with strong strength, and others can't take out hundreds of thousands of cash, but for Dasheng Qianzhuang, it is not a problem.

Liang Shiqiu sighed, and then arched his hand to Yang Shuangzhi and said, "Mr. Yang." This borrowing is not a matter of 800,000 taels of silver. ”

After speaking. Without waiting for Yang Shuangzhi to speak, Liang Shiqiu took the initiative to explain: "In business, business, thousands of miles of business, getting up early and greedy for darkness is just for a good word, they all say that the gentleman is virtuous, and there is a way to take it." The same is true for businessmen, profit is the way to operate, stability is the way to survive, and sometimes, it is better to make less than take risks. ”

"This silver. It's not that the three of us can take it out, there are other families behind it, so a lot of things have to be done according to the rules, and there is no square circle without rules, Mr. Yang, right? There is also the most important thing, we have contributed to this matter, which is equivalent to giving Taisheng Commercial Bank a knife in the back, it is difficult to ensure that Taisheng Commercial will not turn his face, and he will take the opportunity to run on it, so we are definitely preparing more than just 800,000 taels, and please understand Mr. Yang. ”

Tian Sheng added on the side: "If Mr. Yang has another way, we will offer 10,000 taels of silver to express our apologies." ”

What the? If you don't borrow it, you still have money to give?

Yang Shuangzhi and Zhong Qiu looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

It's this kind of profit, and people are not very happy to earn it.

Liang Shiqiu said very clearly, the money is not only the three of them, there are other elements behind them, you have to follow the rules, this is the first meaning; The second meaning is to please King Jing, then offend King Yu in disguise, and the gain outweighs the loss for them.

The last layer means that for the sake of this money, they may also lose an important business partner, especially the possibility that Taisheng Commercial Bank will run on Dasheng Qianzhuang, increasing the pressure on Dasheng Qianzhuang's cash.

For this reason, Liang Shiqiu and others would rather not do this business.

The purpose of these three people sitting here is naturally to be reluctant to make that huge amount of money, and the subtext of the three is: according to the rules of business, then others will have objections, and they will not turn their faces and deny people.

Finding Liang Shiqiu's bottom line, Yang Shuangzhi found that these people in front of him were indeed difficult to deal with.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is fate to be able to sit here, sometimes, rules are dead, and people are alive, we will discuss and discuss, and we will definitely find the best of both worlds." Yang Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Liang Shiqiu, Tian Yong, and Fan Fa glanced at each other, and found that they all had a hint of a smile in each other's eyes, and then nodded lightly.

The three of them sang and harmonized, and successfully suppressed Yang Shuangzhi's sharpness, so that it would be much easier to negotiate conditions.

Yang Shuangzhi can't refuse hundreds of thousands of profits, and as high as more than 200,000 taels of profits, Liang Shiqiu and others will naturally not let go easily, but the power behind Yang Shuangzhi is too big, and Yang Shuangzhi is too shrewd to start, fortunately, Yang Shuangzhi is in a hurry, and in the capital, there are really not many people who can take out so much cash in a short time.

This brings us to the cost of negotiation.

In order to make money, which of these smuggling has not been done? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to make money, these Jin merchants dared to do treason, and now they borrowed money, why don't they dare?

When the tone is set, it is the negotiation of details, such as how much money and silver cost? What is the size and shape of the silver ingot? The term and interest of the loan, etc.

After nearly half an hour of tug-of-war, Liang Shiqiu and others finally made concessions: borrow 800,000 taels of silver, repay 1.04 million taels when due, and reduce interest rates in advance.

Yang Shuangzhi plans to cash out within half a year, which means that the interest can be reduced by half, make a lot of money, and take more than 100,000 taels of profit, which is still within the acceptable range.

For example, Yang Shuangzhi mortgaged the property and house deed worth more than one million taels, and Yang Shuangzhi promised to bring back the treasures from the ocean and would cooperate with the Jin merchants, and the Jin merchants' industries in King Jing's sphere of influence would also be protected by King Jing.

"Shopkeeper Liang, when will the silver be ready?" After the conversation, Yang Shuangzhi immediately asked.

"Mr. Yang rest assured" Liang Shiqiu said confidently: "Hearing Mr. Zhong's words, we are already preparing, it is estimated that we can make it up in seven days, and now we can make it into money ingots while making it, we have a large silver casting workshop, which can be completed in a few days, Mr. Yang just rest assured." ”

"That's great," Liang Shiqiu stood up and arched his hand and said, "There are three of you." ”

Liang Shiqiu, Tian Sheng, and Fan Fa didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up and said they didn't dare.

Several people discussed around the table for a while, and then Liang Shiqiu and the others stood up and said goodbye.

In their words, it was to go back to prepare, and they couldn't miss the prince's big event, so Yang Shuangzhi naturally wouldn't stay.

With a "snap", after Liang Shiqiu and the others left, Yang Shuangzhi threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground at once, his face sank, and he said with a cold face: "These people are really good at kicking their noses and eyes, saying that they have a good way to do things, and they don't do much morality?" ”

is both rules and morality, they all advertise themselves as a savior, but they smuggle and evade taxes, collude with officials, hoard, oppress the people, and even smuggle military goods out of Daming to make huge profits.

To tell the truth, Yang Shuangzhi is shrewd and capable, King Jing calls him a national scholar, a farmer and a businessman, and a scholar at the head and at the end, Yang Shuangzhi, as a scholar, actually looks down on these businessmen, but now he wants to please these lowly businessmen in every way, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.

Zhong Qiuping hurriedly comforted: "Mr. Yang, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, as long as the prince ascends to the throne, these insatiable people are just fat sheep in the circle, why bother with it." ”

Yes, wait for King Jing to inherit the throne, and then reign in the world, and then slowly settle accounts with these people.

"Qiuping, you're right, there's no need to be annoyed with these people, the overall situation is important" Yang Shuangzhi calmed down and asked: "Are the three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver ready?" ”

borrowed 800,000 yuan, and the other 355,000 was self-raised, and the 355,000 fell on Zhong Qiuping.

Zhong Qiuping immediately responded: "It's almost, there are still 50,000 taels in Tianjin that have not yet been delivered, and Lao Song said that it will be delivered within five days, and he will not miss a big deal." ”

Five more days?

Yang Shuangzhi frowned and said, "Old Song has always done things safely, and the silver taels in terms of heavenly law are also abundant, why is it the slowest to deliver?" ”

Lao Song is one of King Jing's henchmen, he is stable and smart, he was sent to be in charge of daily operations in Tianjin, and he promised that the silver two that arrived today would be postponed for five days, which is not right.

"Fujian is tight, the last time I went to sea I encountered a strong wind, and I broke a few boats, so I have been rushing to make a big ship, and the prince also ordered the construction of a new seaport, and I have to raise goods to go to sea, so Lao Song quickly sent 50,000 taels of silver over there."

I see.

Yang Shuangzhi nodded and said: "It's an eventful time now, let's be considerate, it's good to catch up, I haven't been to Yuegang for some days, I don't know if the dock has been repaired?" ”

In addition to a large number of shops, Jingwang's biggest income is to go to sea, have its own fleet, in order to expand the scale, in Zhangzhou Fuyue Port secretly built its own port wharf, used to build and repair large ships, but also in order to load and unload, with the improvement of technology, the ship is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is necessary to build a larger secret port.

"It is estimated that it will be completed early next year, and this matter should not be too quiet."

Yang Shuangzhi patted Zhong Qiuping on the shoulder and said, "Qiuping, you pay more attention to the matter of money and silver, as long as we do this, we can show our faces in front of the prince." ”

"Yes, Mr. Yang." (To be continued.) )
