Chapter 242: The Law of Response
Just when the foreigners were actively busy fighting Xiao Zhenlei, Xiao Zhenlei had already begun to drag the cotton purchased during this time to the foreigners' purchase points for sale, and all the faces they found were fresh, and no one knew these faces who bought the foreigners, and thought that these people were cotton merchants or cotton farmers, just like that, the cotton purchased by Xiao Zhenlei at a low price was sold at a high price in batches, in order to confuse the foreigners, Xiao Zhenlei sent people to set up cotton purchase points in various places and did not stop buying cotton. Instead, they continued to buy cotton at a price slightly lower than the purchase price of foreigners, buying at a low price and selling at a high price.
The foreigners' funds have bottomed out, but they can't find loans, and they can't continue to buy cotton without money, which makes foreigners anxious, at this critical moment, the managers of major banks have come to the door to ask them whether they need loans, loans, loans, and loans, how to plug the gap in cotton without loans? Now that they can borrow money, the foreign businessmen are overjoyed and immediately sign a loan contract with the bank, after having the money, the foreign businessmen have enough confidence, before they asserted that Xiao Zhenlei's funds can not be supported all the time, who can become the winner on both sides, it depends on who can hold on to the end, now the foreign businessmen have borrowed enough money, they are confident that they can hold on longer than Xiao Zhenlei, as long as they buy enough cotton, they will not play with Xiao Zhenlei, let his cotton rot in the warehouse, they are looking forward to Xiao Zhenlei's crying face.
When Xiao Zhenlei was directing the purchase point of secretly selling cotton to foreigners on Huade Road, Song Shijie called from Xiao Mansion.
"Hey, sir. I'm Song Shijie! ”
Xiao Zhenlei said: "Oh, old Song." What's the matter? ”
"Today, Yan Yibin from Yuanfengrun, Li Jingchu from Yishanyuan, Li Yiqing from Zhengyuan Qianzhuang and some other money village owners came to the mansion and asked you to repay the loan within two days, if you don't pay it back. They claim that they will take you and Zhenhua to court! ”
Xiao Zhenlei's heart jumped when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, and he frowned: "What's going on with these people?" The term of my loan is half a year, and now it is less than half a month, why do they want me to repay? Is there something wrong with this? ”
"I don't know, sir, let's think of a way, if we are accused in court, we will be in trouble. You must know that the backstage of these people is Sheng Xuanhuai, although Cai Naihuang is Lao Yuan's person, and he has some problems with Sheng Xuanhuai, but I guess he will definitely not tear his face with Sheng Xuanhuai, if the case gets into trouble with the Daotai Yamen, Cai Naihuang will not be very partial to us! ”
When he heard that the backstage boss of these money banks and ticket numbers was Sheng Xuanhuai, Xiao Zhenlei finally understood why these people suddenly chased money from him, it turned out that Sheng Xuanhuai was making trouble behind him, and it seemed that this person wanted to repeat the story of more than 20 years. Fight him like defeating Hu Xueyan and start from the capital chain!
In fact, according to the contract, because the repayment deadline has not yet arrived, those people have no right to sue him in court. If those people don't have a backstage, or the background of the backstage can't compare to Xiao Zhenlei, the yamen will definitely not accept it. After all, they are the defaulting party, but because their backstage is Sheng Xuanhuai. The situation is completely different, and the rights are much greater than the law in this period. Cai Naihuang definitely didn't dare to offend Sheng Xuanhuai too much, so when those people sued the court, Cai Naihuang would definitely accept it.
Xiao Zhenlei calculated the remaining money in his hand, originally he had 45 million taels of silver in his hand, and yesterday he repaid a total of 22 million taels of loans in his name to the nine major foreign banks, of course, the interest must be calculated on a monthly basis, and the interest money is not much, until now a total of 17 million taels have been used to purchase cotton, and there are still 6 million taels left, and now he has just issued an order to secretly sell cotton batches to foreigners, and the funds are not much back, and there are only more than 8 million taels in his hands. This money is far from enough to repay the money borrowed from the money bank and ticket number, and there is a difference of about 4 million taels.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhenlei has the confidence in his heart, he is now dragging this loan and not repaying it, and those people have no way, according to the contract he signed with the major money banks and ticket numbers, the loan repayment period is half a year, this is only half a month, he can completely drag it and not pay it back, if those people want to sue him in court, yes, everyone will see him in the court, he doesn't expect Cai Naihuang to help him in the court, he only needs Cai Naihuang to delay the trial time for a few days, and he can get back a lot of funds in just a few days. By then, he would have enough money in his hands, and even if he repaid the money, he would still have money in his hands to deal with the sudden situation.
"I know, you don't have to be careful, I'll take care of this matter, if they come again, you can tell them that I'm not there, I'm out of the house, anyway, as long as I can drag it, I can use whatever way I want!"
"Okay, I see!"
After putting down the phone, Xiao Zhenlei thought about it and decided to go to the Daotai Yamen to say hello to Cai Naihuang first, if the boss of the money village went to the yamen to complain, so that Cai Naihuang could delay for a few days before going to court!
When he arrived at the Daotai Yamen, Cai Naihuang happened to be in the office, and when Cai Naihuang saw him coming, he frowned and asked, "Why haven't you returned to the Nanqiao barracks." What if something happens on the side of the army? ”
Xiao Zhenlei smiled bitterly: "My lord, I believe you don't know that I have been fighting with those foreigners in the past few days, how can I have time to go back now?" Don't worry, my lord, the people in charge over there are all my henchmen, and there won't be any big deals, as for Li Biao and Xiang Tiejun, I've already found someone to watch them, and they can't play any tricks! ”
Cai Naihuang's face looked better when he heard this, he nodded and said: "That's good, I'm not afraid of the rest, I'll be careful that the revolutionary party is mixed in, the revolutionary party is very demagogic, you said that if it's not good, the army is mixed in by those revolutionary parties and carries out some agitation, and the mutiny comes out, you and I can't get out of it!" ”
"Understand, understand, you can rest assured, I have set up a secret action team within the 46th standard, which is specially responsible for investigating the spies within the army, as long as there is any trouble, they will arrest people, and will never let the revolutionary party succeed!"
"Well, you've done a good job of setting up a covert squad, that's good!" Cai Naihuang nodded and said: "I think you still have to finish the matter here and rush back to the Nanqiao military camp to preside over the overall situation, you are not over there, I am still not at ease!" By the way, what are you doing today? ”
Xiao Zhenlei hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "My lord, half a month ago, I borrowed a sum of money from Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan, which were for half a year, but I don't know how Sheng Gong knew about it, and now that the deadline has not yet arrived, he instructed those money bank bosses to recover the loan from me, if they sue the adult's Daotai Yamen, I want to ask the lord to delay for seven or eight days before holding a trial!" ”
Cai Naihuang's face changed color after hearing about this, in his opinion, the reason why Sheng Xuanhuai dealt with Xiao Zhenlei was entirely because Xiao Zhenlei was his person, otherwise Sheng Xuanhuai would not have been able to deal with a junior.
"This grand lord, if you have any grievances, you can come at me, how can you hit the idea? The amount of gas is a little smaller! ”
Cai Naihuang said to Xiao Zhenlei again: "This, Huanyu, don't worry, the old man will not let others bully you, although Yuan Gong is not in the court now, but his influence is still there, this is the old man's territory on the beach, and it is not his turn to point fingers at the old man Sheng, not to mention that you have a reason, even if you don't take advantage of it, there is an old man in this Yamen one day, and others can do something to you!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei was overjoyed, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for taking care of you!" ”
Cai Naihuang's face was awe-inspiring and solemn at this time: "Since you are the old man's man, you are the old man's person, and the old man doesn't want the people under the door to be half-hearted and not listen to the greeting, do you understand?" ”
"Understood, understood!" Xiao Zhenlei got up as he spoke, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "My lord, this is a little filial piety under the mark, I hope you don't dislike it, please accept it!" ”
Cai Naihuang glanced at it, estimated that it was about 100,000 taels, and said with a smile: "You are willing to take out so much, you have a heart, okay, the old man will save it for you first, and if there is a shortage of military salaries in the army in the future, the old man will return these to you as military salaries!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "My lord, this money is trivial, this time as long as you bid to defeat those foreigners, you will get a lot of benefits, this money is completely a drop in the bucket, and there will be filial piety in the future!" ”
"Okay, okay, you just have this heart!" Cai Naihuang was very satisfied with Xiao Zhenlei's attitude.
In fact, both of them have their own ghosts in their hearts, Xiao Zhenlei wants to rely on Cai Naihuang to cover, Cai Naihuang is Yuan Shikai's person after all, relying on Cai Naihuang to become Yuan Shikai's family, and people from other factions dare not make up their minds, and Cai Naihuang does have the idea of mastering Xiao Zhenlei's military horse, this is not only his idea, but also Yuan Shikai's idea, some time ago Yuan Shikai sent him a secret telegram, asking him to win over Xiao Zhenlei, absorb him by his side, master as many troops as possible, and ensure the safety of the southeast. But Cai Naihuang also knew that Xiao Zhenlei was extremely difficult to control, and if he didn't do it well, he would be counterattacked, because he was wooing and beating Xiao Zhenlei, just to make Xiao Zhenlei be honest in front of him.
Yuan Shikai has been away from the court for a whole year since he returned to his hometown in January this year, but this person knows the domestic situation well, Xiao Zhenlei, a kid who suddenly appeared on the beach, dared to argue with foreigners, which made him very curious, after some investigation, he found that Xiao Zhenlei is already a tiger general, if he uses it well, it is definitely a big help, but if he uses it badly, he will be counterattacked by him.
