Chapter 84: Rumors in Tongzhou
Gu Tiancheng told Zhuo Yuantu that he could not pay off the money for buying the ship at one time, and hoped to pay it to Hongjiang Shipyard in six installments, paying the ship every two months and paying it off in one year.
Although the one-year payment has interest mentioned, it is not usurious, and the interest rate is lower than that of a normal one-year loan.
The point is, how can you pay for something like this multiple times? Or use what someone gave you as collateral.
Such a shameless proposal made Zhuo Yuantu breathtaking, and even the two little guys serving on the side couldn't bear it, one looked left at the sky, the other looked at the sky to the right, and the expression on his face was very exciting.
Gu Tiancheng was actually a little embarrassed, such a whimsical method was proposed to him by Yuan Dongchu the day before he arrived in Tongzhou, and there was a new term called installment payment.
Although installment payment is a new term, just look at the words, Gu Tiancheng knows what it means.
The point is, installment payments are somewhat similar to mortgage borrowing.
To borrow money and goods, especially in large quantities, it is necessary not only to have written documents, but also to have physical collateral.
And the collateral proposed by his family at the beginning of winter was two sand boats sent to them by Hongjiang Shipyard.
Those two boats...... Originally, it was a great official, okay?
Take the things sent by others, come back and mortgage them here, and then take a boat back from them......
With the thickness of Gu Tiancheng's face, he felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, he was just embarrassed, although he was exposed and asked by Zhuo Yuantu, although he also put on an embarrassed attitude, he could continue to say what he should say.
"Don't hide it from the big official, the kid also felt a little blushing when he said this. You see, I'm not in trouble. If there is a time in a year when I can't pay the installments, you can get all three boats back at once, which is actually no different from a mortgage. ”
Zhuo Yuantu was speechless for a while, it was indeed no different from ordinary mortgages.
But when this thing is said, it is very wrong and unreasonable.
Gu Tiancheng looked at Zhuo Yuantu very sincerely, his face full of reasons for everything, his face full of helplessness, and his face full of expectations.
Zhuo Yuantu couldn't hold back after all: "Then that's it, you have the formalities of the two boats, right?" After taking all the formalities and looking for a mortgage in the accounting room, I turned around and said hello to the chief steward. ”
However, a refurbished medium-sized cargo ship was originally intended to be used as a favor when looking for convenience, or when the shipbuilding bureau needed it.
It is also a reasonable place to sell it to Gu Tiancheng, who has great potential, in this way.
However, Gu Tiancheng gave him another oolong: "This...... We only came to one ship this time, so we only brought the formalities of one ship. Let's buy the ship first, and the mortgage procedures for the other ship, when we come next, we will definitely send it to the senior official, what do you think? ”
"......" Zhuo Yuantu had deep doubts about his eyesight for the first time, is this product he is optimistic about really reliable?
"Nothing, what mortgage did you make?!" Zhuo Yuan forgot his age and identity angrily, and gave Gu Tiancheng a sentence very angrily.
"Actually, there are two boats of ......" Gu Tiancheng once again made that very guilty and sincere look, which is to tell you: He is actually very sincere, and the reason why this is the case is really helpless.
This kid really has two boats, with Zhuo Yuantu's status and identity, he is not afraid that he will repay the debt, alas, forget it, don't worry about this bastard!
Then, Zhuo Yuantu asked him a question he was more concerned about: "It seems that the mortgage to buy a boat is a temporary idea, right?" What happened? Let you get up halfway and hit me with the idea of Hongjiang Shipyard? ”
Seeing that there was a door to the matter, Gu Tiancheng hurriedly patted his ass: "The big official really has eyes like a torch and knows things like a god, and we really encountered something halfway......"
When encountering people who are on the right path, have kindness to themselves, and sincerely help them, Gu Tiancheng's stubbornness is another way of expression, a little tricky, and a little closer.
Moreover, he is also confident that he will have the ability to stand at the same height as Zhuo Yuantu in the future, and have the ability to repay Zhuo Yuantu's kindness.
Especially in serious matters, he didn't hide it, and told Zhuo Yuantu what happened at Yiyang Wharf as it was.
"With one more boat, not only will there be twice as many people on board, but there will also be more care on the way. When there is an emergency, you will not be isolated. Gu Tiancheng told the truth.
"This happened to Yiyang Wharf?" Zhuo Yuantu said in a deep voice, and there was something else in his words.
Gu Tiancheng hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" The last time we left Tongzhou, did something happen? ”
When he came out in the morning, he also specially arranged for Liu Sanhu and Zhang Erzhu to find acquaintances in Tongzhou to inquire whether anything related to them had happened in Tongzhou during this time.
The meaning of Zhuo Yuantu's words seems to be no longer inquiring.
Zhuo Yuantu put down the teacup in his hand, wiped his beard, and then asked slowly: "Have you provoked anyone in Muliang Town or Yishui County?" ”
Muliang Town and Yishui County?
Gu Tiancheng was quite surprised, the source of the matter was actually on his side?
There's no such a big feud there, right?
Gu Tiancheng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he lived one by one the people he was familiar with and unfamiliar with, who he had dealt with before, and even fought hard.
In the end, he concluded: "Probably not, right?" I don't usually come into contact with people who are scheming and have a clear eye. Even if I have to use my fists, feet, and sticks, and encounter someone with a dark heart and an elusive person, I am very careful in dealing with it and will not leave any trouble. ”
Fighting also depends on the person.
Everyone is a person on the surface, because they violate each other's interests or something, even if they don't agree with each other's personalities, they can fight one or several times.
Liang Zi knotted, everyone sought revenge afterwards, even if it was not a clear knife and a gun, they knew who the opponent was.
But the kind of person who is kind to you on the surface, or even close, but always looking for opportunities to stab him secretly, when he meets Gu Tiancheng, he will not move, as long as he does it, he will use all means to press him until he has no strength to turn over.
If necessary, things that are directly erased must also be done.
And this time, through the big brother at the dock who is far away in Yiyang, he did something to suppress him, but it is a bit puzzling.
Who has ever played with him, which one has this ability?
People with this ability, where can they use such trouble, they can do it directly in Muliang Town, which is very simple and trouble-free.
Moreover, the means of Yiyang Wharf at that time were ruthless enough.
That was Yuan Dongchu's proper handling, and he also came back in time.
Otherwise, if Zhao Bocai really gets his hands on it, destroys his ship and goods, detains people again, and charges a bandit with deliberately causing trouble and disturbing the safety of the place, he will be directly distributed for ten years.
Who has such a big enmity with him? The other party who came so far from Tongzhou and Yiyang calculated him?
