Chapter 1821 - Generous Contributions
The county lord personally invited, of course those rich businessmen in the jurisdiction did not dare to refuse, these years, they need to rely on the county to rely on the county there are many places, absolutely not offended, otherwise the county from time to time to give them small shoes, they can't stand it.
Harmony is the truth!
Therefore, the rich businessmen who received the invitation have pushed off the evening activities, and then came to the county government in a luxurious carriage, people like to enjoy life when they have money, especially the night life is more colorful, if you don't make an appointment in advance, it is very difficult to meet with these rich businessmen in the evening to talk about things, when it is hot, except for those real magnates, the magnates will send a sentence casually, these rich businessmen will come obediently no matter how busy they are, this is the benefit of power.
"Shopkeeper Li, are you here too?"
"Outside of Song, you also received an invitation from the county lord?"
"Brother Wang, hello. ”
"Brother Liu......"
These wealthy businessmen don't look up on weekdays, and some of them still have business contacts, so they are very familiar with each other, and they chatted with each other after meeting.
At this time, someone asked: "Why did the county lord call us over in such a hurry?
"I don't know. ”
"I don't know. ”
"Okay, don't guess, you'll find out when you see Lord Xianzun later. ”
"Let's go in quickly, don't make the county lord wait for a long time. ”
"Yes, yes, get inside. ”
A group of people got together, smiled and walked into the county office, after seeing the county honorable Wu Liangwen, these rich businessmen saluted respectfully, and then gave gifts, and no one came empty-handed.
"Sit down, sit down, everyone sit down. Wu Liangwen beckoned everyone to sit down, and then began to let the servants serve wine and food, today's banquet is very rich, wine is good wine, food is good food, everyone sits together, eating and drinking, very lively.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.
"Everyone, be quiet, and listen to me. Wu Liangwen put down his wine glass and glanced at everyone present with a pair of sharp eyes.
Everyone put down their wine glasses, sat upright, raised their heads to look at Wu Liangwen, and put on a deaf look, these people have one thing in common, that is, they are thick-skinned, they only pay attention to interests, as long as they are given enough benefits, they can grovel to you, and even kneel and kowtow.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have invited you here today because I want to ask you for your help. Wu Liangwen said slowly: "Let me declare first, help is voluntary, I will never force it, if you are not willing to help, I will not blame, of course, if anyone is willing to help me, I will definitely remember it." ”
"My lord, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will definitely help. ”
"Yes, yes, it's my honor to be able to help adults. ”
"Huh...... Adults say, no matter what kind of help, I'll help. ”
"Yes, all help. ”
The necessary attitude is still to be had, first express one's position, as long as Wu Liangwen's request is not too difficult, everyone is willing to give Wu Liangwen face, if Wu Liangwen's request is too difficult, then you have to think about it...... Although everyone doesn't want to offend Wu Liangwen, if Wu Liangwen persecutes him too tightly, they won't be arrested, and they will move out of the county seat if it's a big deal.
"That's right. It was the first time for Wu Liangwen to borrow money from someone, and it was a large amount of money, so Wu Liangwen was a little embarrassed, and his expression was a little unnatural when he spoke: "I've been in a little trouble recently, and I'm a little nervous at hand...... I'd like to borrow some spirit crystals from you...... Rest assured, I will return it on time and I will pay you interest......"
"My lord's words are serious, what to borrow or not. A wealthy businessman grinned and said, "Isn't it the spirit crystal? I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of spirit crystals!" My lord said, how much do you want?"
"My lord, tell me the number, and I'll give it with both hands immediately!"
"Yes, sir. ”
Everyone present is wealthy, so they are very confident in speaking, but when Wu Liangwen said the specific number, everyone's smiles disappeared, and then they all closed their mouths.
Wu Liangwen stretched out four fingers: "Four million spirit crystals." ”
What the?
Four million spirit crystals? Did we hear you right?
Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't speak, they originally thought that Wu Liangwen would break the sky when he opened his mouth to ask for a hundred and eighty thousand spirit crystals, but they didn't expect to ask for four million spirit crystals with one mouth?
Can these people come up with four million spirit crystals? The answer is yes! Anyone here can take out four million spirit crystals, but ...... Will they take it? Are they willing to take it? After all, four million spirit crystals is not a small amount! Although everyone here really wants to curry favor with Wu Liangwen, if they want to spend the price of four million spirit crystals to curry favor, then they must weigh it carefully...... Is it worth it?
The hall, which had been very lively just now, suddenly became calm, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Wu Liangwen was prepared for everyone's performance, and he knew that he wanted to ask for it from these treacherous businessmen who regarded money as their life...... No, it's borrowing, and it's very difficult to lend four million spirit crystals.
"Again, I'm borrowing! Not asking for! I'm going to pay it back! And I'm going to pay interest! You don't have to worry about that. Wu Liangwen made a strong guarantee, but everyone still didn't speak, what do you mean? Don't you believe him? Wu Liangwen was a little unhappy, that's right, I borrowed a lot of spirit crystals, but there are also a lot of you, four million spirit crystals are not much to be distributed to everyone, as long as each person takes out more than 300,000 spirit crystals, more than 300,000 spirit crystals are nothing to everyone here!
"Your Excellency...... Can I ask...... What do you want to do with so many spirit crystals?" asked a wealthy merchant cautiously.
"I'm sorry, but I can't say it for some reason, so please forgive me. Wu Liangwen said: "But don't worry, I will never use your spirit crystals to do bad things, I really encountered difficulties, otherwise I would not open my mouth to you." Speaking of this, Wu Liangwen paused: "We have known each other for a long time, you all know in your hearts who I am, when have I borrowed the spirit crystal from you for so many years? No, this time I really had no choice, so I came to you...... I hope you can help. ”
Wu Liangwen said very sincerely, but he still did not impress these businessmen, these businessmen have been in business for many years, and they have long been trained to be as hard as steel, and they will not easily believe in people.
"Are you worried that I will repay my debts, and will not return the spirit crystals, or are you suspicious of my ability to repay?" Wu Liangwen asked in a deep voice.
Of course, they will not admit it, let alone say it, even if Wu Liangwen says it himself, they will deny it as much as possible, this is hypocrisy.
"As I said earlier, I won't force you, it's your willingness to help. Wu Liangwen's eyes turned and glanced at everyone present: "I still say the same thing, if you are willing to help, I will keep it in my heart, and I will repay you well in the future, and I am not willing to help...... I won't blame ...... either."
To put it lightly, everyone here is not a fool, how can they easily believe Wu Liangwen's words? They dare to swear with their toes that as long as they refuse to help, Wu Liangwen will definitely not let them go.
"That...... My lord, I recently bought a batch of goods and put a lot of money on them...... I was really nervous about it, and a few days ago, my wife wanted to redecorate the house but I refused...... But the adult himself spoke, and I will definitely give face...... So be it...... I'm willing to ...... Five thousand spirit crystals...... "The rich merchant stretched out his rootless fingers, gritted his teeth and said a number.
It would be easy for someone to take the lead, and the rest of the rich businessmen found excuses to tell their own difficulties, saying so much because they didn't want to take more spirit crystals.
"I can give up to 10,000 ......"
"I'll give you 5,000 ......"
"I can only give 3,000 ......"
"I'm out of 8,000 ......"
"Uh...... I can give more, just 20,000......"
Everyone "generously" donated one after another, shouting higher and higher, as if they had produced a lot of spirit crystals, more than a dozen wealthy businessmen got together, and finally made up more than 100,000 spirit crystals......
