Chapter 326
"You?"
Such a big deal turned out to be from the hand of an eighteen-year-old girl. Although Liu Yongtong had never underestimated this little girl of the Zeng family, he really never thought that she would be able to plan such a shocking thing in the entire Great Song Kingdom.
Besides, 610,000 yuan is really a huge amount of money, what did she use to persuade those businessmen who usually have to pay baht to be willing to come up with some huge sums of money overnight?
"Yes, it's my niece." Banniang smiled, "Uncle doesn't have to worry, and listen to my niece one by one for my uncle." β
"We businessmen are the most profitable, and now we are willing to do our best to take out these 610,000 yuan, if we don't say anything, don't say that my uncle doesn't believe it, it's ourselves, I'm afraid we may not believe it. However, the reason why my niece doesn't have to worry about my uncle is because what we are trying to do is not a temporary benefit. The uncle may think that his niece's words are really big, but what his niece said is really true. β
"Okay, you can tell me, this is for yourself, but also for the Great Song Kingdom, how to explain."
"Naturally. When my uncle first heard about these 610,000 yuan, he must have been shocked in his heart. This is only part of the money we have raised, and within three days, we will count the amount of money that the remaining merchants can raise, and we will report it to my uncle at that time. The niece has been in business for several years, and owns nearly half of the industry in the port commercial street of Quanzhou. Although the final amount has not yet been determined, according to the niece's estimate, the amount of money that can be raised will not be less than 200,000 yuan. It's just another discount, and there are always 150,000 guan. β
"Uncle is the parent official of Quanzhou, and he knows the most about the economy of Quanzhou, but when he hears 610,000 guan, it is still like this, just imagine that 750,000 guan is from the court, what will happen to those high-ranking and powerful court giants?"
"In a way, you raised so much money just to shock the officials and even the Heavenly Family in the capital, right?" Liu Yongtong's voice was smiling.
"Of course not." Banniang also smiled, "Don't hide it from my uncle, in business, every time we businessmen invest a sum of money, it is for profit." β
Hearing Banniang say this, Liu Yongtong felt that his heart was not very stable all night in the clouds, as if he had taken a reassuring pill: "Then what kind of income are you making such a big deal this time?" β
"If my niece says that we have a plan this time, but we don't have any plans, my uncle will definitely scold me. In fact, this time there is really no specific benefit, and even naΓ―ve, if we have a plan, it is really just as my uncle joked just now, just to shock the court. We just want the court to see that we businessmen are also useful to the country and are willing to contribute to the country. β
Next, Banniang gave a general explanation of the theory that the economic base determines the superstructure in a language that Liu Yongtong could understand.
ββ¦β¦ Uncle must know what we want now, right? Let the court see that our merchants and others have an important place in the national system, and I hope that the court can face up to the importance of businessmen. Giving merchants a higher social status and a more tolerant mercantile policy. Readers are most disgusted with the smell of copper, but in fact, copper does not smell, but the smell is the human heart. β
"My niece planned this time to raise funds for the Chamber of Commerce, and she did it for such a long-term future. As for the moment, I really won't make any excessive demands on my uncle. Of course, my uncle also said in the evening that he would ask for credit for us. This commendation, niece on behalf of the entire Quanzhou businessmen, begging uncle, you must get some commendation from us. β
Liu Yongtong chewed on her sentence "Copper doesn't stink, but it stinks just people's hearts", and listened to the naughtiness that was slightly revealed in her last tone, and laughed: "This is natural, what I said, but when did I not do it?" β
But in his heart, he was thinking about Banniang's words.
To tell the truth, he had never heard of this remark, and it touched him far more than the words of any saint. The saints only gave them the principles of the world, and the saints only laid out a model of the ideal world for them, but the saints did not tell them what kind of road they needed to take, what kind of efforts they needed to make, and what kind of methods they needed to use to create such a world.
Therefore, until the carriage arrived at the mansion where Banniang lived, Liu Yongtong had been pondering.
When the carriage stopped, Banniang got out of the car and gave Liu Yong a farewell. Liu Yongtong said with a smile: "When you are busy with things in the past few days, I will go to see your aunt at home, I talked about you a few days ago." After a pause, he said, "What you said today is thought-provoking, I still have some things I haven't figured out, wait a few days, you have to be free, and then talk to me well." β
Banniang naturally smiled and responded. sent Liu Yongtong away, and then Cang'er, who followed, also dismounted. The two of them called the door together. After washing up, Cang'er came over to talk to her: "I heard that today's matter is going very well, but I don't know what happened to Nanfeng." β
She made 100,000 yuan in Quanzhou. Although Nanfeng is the county seat, the money that should be allocated to the Nanfeng Sheraton should be paid out and still needs to be paid. And she took 100,000 yuan in Nanfeng, this matter is not something that can be hidden, although it is now in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, diluting the personal influence, but 100,000 is 100,000, how to explain to the county magistrate of Nanfeng in the future?
Banniang has also been thinking about this for a long time. How does Nan Fung compare to Quanzhou? Even if she lent the 100,000 yuan to the county government in Nanfeng, it would be just a bigger wave in the sea. She can still tell the priority of things, no one in this world can act perfectly to satisfy everyone.
But the money that should be shared by Nanfeng City still has to be borrowed. She had already sent a letter to Wu Sanniang before, hoping that the Wu family would be able to borrow two or twenty thousand yuan and settle this matter first. If the magistrate was a transparent person, he would not blame her for giving out 100,000 yuan in Quanzhou, while Nanfeng only took out the allocated amount.
First, Nanfeng and Quanzhou are not comparable. Second, although her business started in Nanfeng, Nanfeng's current industry only accounts for less than one layer of all her business, and her real foundation is in Quanzhou. Therefore, it is impossible to treat these two places equally.
Cang'er's worries are reasonable, but what Banniang is most worried about is the third uncle of Fuzhou.
The situation in Fuzhou and Quanzhou is similar, and if the difference in the amount of borrowing between the two states is too great, it will be ugly. Banniang also sent a letter to the third uncle before, telling the third uncle what she thought, but I don't know what the situation is now.
Although she wanted to lead the merchants of Quanzhou to be beautiful, but in terms of the general aspect, if the situation in Quanzhou was good in the end, it would always be good for the entire merchant class.
"Did Master Li mention our timber business with Yongxing?" Cang'er asked again.
Banniang smiled: "Don't worry, the timber business is a big deal, and it's the same for Yongxing and our Sheraton." As I expected, when the small merchants are busy raising funds these days, Yongxing should take the initiative to talk to me. β
Now she is Party A, and she still has to take the shelf. The grinding of the past few years has made her personality more calm than in her previous life, and the harmless smile on her face every day is just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. If anyone really thinks that she is as harmless as she seems, then it is really not her business to suffer her loss.
Li Yongxing naturally wanted to wait for her to speak first, and she was the same. It just depends on whose bottom line is better. Although she will remember Li Yongxing's favor back then, she will return the favor clearly in the right opportunity and way. If the way is inappropriate, you will repay the favor long ago, and people will only owe you forever.
In business, business is business, and business is business.
"Wait for the matter here, we should also go back to Nanfeng." Cang Er sighed.
Although she has no home, she grew up in the Lu family, where she has lived for many years, and she has been away for a year, saying that she doesn't want to, which is false.
Banniang misses Nanfeng more than she does, and misses that warm home. Missing everyone in my family. The gentle mother-like eldest sister-in-law Wu, the shrewd and powerful fifth sister-in-law Wu Sanniang, the elegant and generous fourth sister-in-law Fan Danshu, the calm and dignified cousin-in-law Lu Siniang, and the ghost-like Shi Niang Yunzhen, the cute and smart Eleven Niang Yunchu like Shi Niang, the beautiful doll Xiao Jianglai, the one who is angry and funny, and now he has probably grown into a deceitful and beautiful young man. There is also a nephew Juelang, who is as steady and honest as a little adult, a spring who has been naughty since he was a child, and then the eldest brother, second brother, and fifth brother who have returned home.
even married, the sixth sister who now runs an embroidery workshop in Nanfeng, and the seventh sister who married the Linchuan Wang family.
was mentioned by Cang'er like this, and Banniang knew how much she actually missed that warm home.
Home is just a place that people will miss.
At this moment, she really wanted to put on her wings and fly back to Nanfeng.
I dreamed at night.
It's when she first arrived. In a poor family, there is no good meal, but the family gathers around the dining table with a smile on their faces.
Daddy was still there at that time. A serious face, but there are a pair of eyes that couldn't be kinder. In her dreams, she wanted to help him rub his shoulders as before, but as soon as she reached out, her father was gone. The sky disappeared in front of me.
She was very anxious and empty.
Mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters, sisters, and younger brothers are still eating around the table. It seems that he didn't notice that Daddy was gone. Only she knows. But I don't know why, in the dream she didn't want to remind them that her father suddenly disappeared, she stood there blankly, and then silently walked out of the room, searching every corner of the house, but she couldn't find those kind eyes.
When I woke up, it was already dawn. Banniang felt itchy in the corners of her eyes, stretched out her hand, and touched the tears of her hand.
The son wants to raise but does not wait, it turns out to be such a kind of sadness and pain that makes people unable to find a way out.
The maid who served in the house was not familiar with Banniang, and her face was not good when she saw her get up, but she didn't dare to speak, and after serving her to wash, she went to find Lu Chang'an's house to speak: "Miss Eight seems to be in a bad mood today, and the slave maid has never seen Miss Ba's face like that." β
Could it be that I hurt my body by drinking last night?
Miss Eight has never given the maids a look.
Xiao Lu was not at ease, and said to the little maid: "I'll take a look, you go to the kitchen and bring the red bean porridge that has been boiled all night, Miss Eight likes to eat that." β
The little maid answered and went to the kitchen. Because Lu Changan went to the business house early in the morning, it was estimated that Banniang would go for a while, Xiaolu hurriedly went to the second courtyard, and saw that Banniang had already put on the arrow-sleeved shirt that came out to fight early in the morning, and was coming out of the house.
"I heard the maid say that you don't seem to be very well, so the slave and maid came to take a look, if you are not well, you will rest in the house, it doesn't matter if you don't fight this punch for a day." Xiao Lu stepped forward and saluted, and persuaded with a smile, "My family went to the trading house early in the morning, saying that if Miss Eight does not go to the trading house when she turns around, she will let the slave and maid go and tell him that he will come back." β
Banniang also put away her depressed mood after getting up, and said with a smile: "You are really a housekeeper, there is nothing bad about my body, you don't have to worry." There is no need to send someone to the trading house, I don't have anything to do today, I'll go after breakfast in a while. β
"Do you want to prepare a sedan chair with a slave?"
"No, I haven't been around the street for a long time, and it's not far from left and right, I'll just walk around with Sister Cang'er in a while."
Banniang punched a set, and breakfast was also brought over from the kitchen. I called Cang'er to have breakfast together, and I was about to go out, so I heard the maid come to report that Miss Alan had arrived.
So early? This is coming overnight in a hurry? Could it be that something is wrong?
