Cang Er saw that his face was slightly red, his posture was bright, but he lowered his head and eyes, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart for a while, but she was originally a person with the scenery of Jiyue, although she knew that all these years had passed, the extravagant thinking in her heart was still extravagant, but she thought about it for a while, and she was very calm, so she smiled and replied: "I've seen Master Lin." ”

Hearing her title, Lin Zhaoqing was stunned. This is the first time, she called him "Lin Ye" like others, and there was no alienation in her tone, but she didn't see the kindness she used to have, and she couldn't help but glance at Cang'er.

The cut-sleeved gown, neat as a pine, only looked at his eyes, but calmly without a trace of waves.

Lin Zhaoqing didn't feel the slightest affection for herself, but she had a heart, but she couldn't reciprocate. I've always felt sorry for her.

Seeing her like this, she let go, and Lin Zhaoqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people sat down to discuss the matter, and Banniang told Lin Zhaoqing about the reasons why the court came forward through various government offices to borrow money from businessmen, the opportunities contained in this, and her own plans.

Lin Zhaoqing said: "If only we raise it, this matter is promising, but if the court acts openly, there are tens of thousands of businessmen across the country, and for us, this matter will become a chicken rib." Money is a trivial matter, only such an investment, the return you can get, far less than paying, even if I support you, how can I convince other commercial banks in Quanzhou? Besides, even I feel that this matter is chicken, and Yongxing's thoughts can be imagined. And if Yongxing doesn't support it, how can he convince other peers in Quanzhou? If you want to do this, I'm afraid it's extremely difficult. ”

"What Brother Lin said is very true, and this is where our problem lies. However, opportunities are equal for everyone, and this incident is an opportunity for us and one that everyone can grasp. But because of this, everyone thinks so and feels that it is unprofitable, so no one will do it. How can we maximize our own interests in the midst of thousands of troops with equal interests of everyone is the question that you should consider now. Instead of seeing hopelessness and giving up. I don't think Brother Lin is such a person, Li Yongxing, let alone such a person. If others see that this is not to be done, this is the case in Quanzhou, and even more so in the commercial houses of other state capitals, isn't this the opportunity for you and me? ”

Lin Zhaoqing's eyes lit up.

Over the years, Zeng Banniang has convinced him again and again in his heart, isn't it her indomitable spirit that she can't think about others, the original overseas timber business, and the construction of Quanzhou Port Spring Circle. and her perspective and vision of things are different from ordinary people, but what she chooses is right.

As she said, it is precisely because everyone is hopeless and unprofitable that they are likely to get the most out of it.

"Hachiro, what should we do?" As if he saw another opportunity to bring his firm's strength to a new level, Lin Zhaoqing's voice was a little excited.

Although she knows that Banniang is a woman, but because she has always appeared in front of her in men's clothes, Lin Zhaoqing has been calling her "Balang" for several years, and has not changed her words.

Lin Zhaoqing is a person who understands everything, and Banniang knows that as long as he is reminded a little, he can get a glimpse and see the whole picture. Hearing him ask, Banniang smiled: "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, but it's not easy, but it depends on how we plan." Speaking of how to do it, Brother Lin still needs to put some effort out of it. ”

"Do the best I can. Hachiro just has to talk about it. ”

Between them, there is no question of trust, as long as the interests are the same, there is nothing to say, Banniang smiled: "If my expectations are correct, Lord Quanzhou should have received a summons from the court at this time, and has already inquired about the attitude of various firms on this matter." ”

"Indeed, in the past few days, various commercial houses have been coming and going frequently in the state government, and I have heard of it, but because of what you explained in your letter before, I found an excuse to push it. Fortunately, the news of your return to Quanzhou, but I know here that Lord Zhizhou may not come to the door for a while, and we have some time to plan. But I guess he'll find you in the next day or two, after all, you've come back and you've seen a lot of people. With the attention of Lord Zhizhou to our businessmen these days, it is estimated that in less than two days, the post inviting you will be sent here. ”

"Then Brother Lin has asked other colleagues about their opinions on this matter?"

"This is natural, as I said just now, businessmen cherish money, and this money is borrowed by the court, and no one knows whether to pay it back or not. Isn't it a small amount, so at this moment, I'm thinking about the way to push the committee. Otherwise, why would I have told you that this would not have happened? ”

Such a reflection is also expected by Banniang.

But this is an opportunity, not only for herself, but also for the Zeng family, whether the business of Quanzhou can win a better court policy, and even the merchants of the entire Great Song Kingdom, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of. If the court can see how important the role of merchants in the national economy is, and the contribution of the commercial activities engaged in by merchants to the improvement of the national economy, it is not only conducive to the improvement of the social status of merchants, but also can improve the business environment of the entire Great Song Kingdom.

Every time Banniang thought of this, she was excited.

This is an opportunity, for her, for all the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, it is an opportunity. Once successful, all they get is a more prosperous business atmosphere, more favorable business policies, and then, more wealth.

The development of commerce will inevitably bring about a more prosperous circulation of commodities, and the circulation of commodities will inevitably bring about the prosperity of the country's economy as a whole.

And in a country with a prosperous economy, the development of commerce is both the cause and the effect.

It's a virtuous circle.

Only when the court recognized the importance of merchants to the country's economy could it have the opportunity to create such a situation.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, commercial tax revenue has changed from less than 10% at the beginning of the founding of the country to almost 70% of the entire fiscal and tax revenue, which is also the main reason why the court is increasingly inclined to commercial policies. If this is not the case, how could it be that because the treasury is unable to support the powerful military combat expenditures, those officials and old men would actually think of the same strategy as borrowing money from the lowly businessmen who were still at the bottom of the society when they went to the court.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty are the most noble scholars, and the popularization of education is very amazing, and the atmosphere of reading and studying is the most prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the era in which Banniang lived in her previous life, a great man once said that knowledge changes fate. And every enterprise takes the phrase "people-oriented" as the core value of the company's corporate culture.

In fact, to put it bluntly, people have to read and write, to read books, to learn, to have a better understanding of the world, to have a broader vision, to think better, to make more choices.

The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty were different from the merchants of any previous dynasty, because of the popularization of education, many of them were very talented and courageous. Have a higher overall quality. Because of these prerequisites, they had a more long-term vision than the merchants of any other dynasty.

Banniang wanted to believe that she could convince them. What's more, she has an irreplaceable position in Quanzhou's business circle. With the industry she owns now, it can be said that she can cause an earthquake in the entire Quanzhou business if she pulls Lin Zhaoqing and Li Yongxing to stomp her feet.

"Li Yongxing is in Quanzhou recently?" Banniang pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhaoqing replied with a smile, "I told him in private about the fact that you will arrive in Quanzhou these days. Besides, the expiration of the timber contract between Sheraton and Yongxing is not a trivial matter for both Sheraton and Yongxing. Knowing that you are coming, he will naturally wait for you in Quanzhou. ”

"Lord Zhizhou has looked for Li Yongxing, right? What is his attitude? ”

"Like me, I found an excuse and pushed it away. Lord Zhizhou is afraid that he has not seen Li Yongxing until today. Lin Zhaoqing said with a smile, "That old fox, naturally, hopes that we will make a statement before him." Quanzhou is the largest of the three of us, how can he easily express his position before he knows your and my attitude towards this matter? ”

Banniang still carries the letter of her father-in-law Cai Junmo, if she relies on herself, for Li Yongxing, the weight of words is naturally not enough, but she believes that the prospect she describes, Li Yongxing cannot not be moved. On this basis, coupled with the letter of Cai Junmo, whom Li Yongxing admires the most, Banniang is sure enough to persuade Li Yongxing to participate in her plan.

With the help of Li Yongxing and Lin Zhaoqing, it will be much easier to organize other trading houses in Quanzhou.

"Okay, let's eat something simply tonight, I'm afraid that tomorrow, Lord Zhizhou will come to the door, and I will visit Li Yongxing tonight." persuaded Li Yongxing, because Lord Zhizhou could summon me a day or two late, so we used these two days to attack separately to persuade other firms. There is no room for delay, Brother Lin, are you willing to go with me? ”

"It's nature."

After the discussion, Lu Changan asked the guys to serve the meal, and after a simple meal, Banniang did not go back, and sent Lu Changan and Qiao Ge'er back first, and she and Lin Zhaoqing went to the Li Mansion with Cang'er.

Li Yongxing was not surprised by their late-night visits. They were invited to the study.

Banniang left Cang'er to guard outside, and entered the study with Lin Zhaoqing.

After saluting each other, Li Yongxing smiled and said, "Hachiro, you came late at night today, and you brought the little monk with you, I don't think you came to discuss the matter of the timber contract with me, right?" ”

"As my uncle expected, the matter of wood is not in a hurry, but now there is one thing, Hachiro needs his uncle's help."

"Oh, tell me about it." Li Yongxing invited the three of them to sit down, and waved the maid who delivered the tea to retreat.

"In the past few days, Lord Zhizhou has frequently met with the helmsmen of various commercial houses in Quanzhou, so what is the matter, I believe my uncle must have heard of it, right?"

Li Yongxing smiled quietly: "I've heard about it, but I've been busy with other things recently, so I haven't learned much." How? Hachiro: Are you interested in this? ”

"Yes, Hachiro came to visit late tonight for this purpose."

Li Yongxing raised his eyebrows, looked at Banniang calmly, and waited for her to continue.

Banniang didn't want to go around in circles, so she got straight to the point: "Balang has discussed with Brother Lin, and I hope that I can do my best this time to contribute to the court, but Brother Lin and I are weak, and I hope that my uncle will help me." ”

Li Yongxing originally thought that the two of them came here to ask him for a plan, to block the pressure exerted by Lord Zhizhou this time, at least less blood and less loss, and he didn't want Banniang to say that it was contrary to what he thought.

However, in his life, he has experienced too many winds and waves, this little accident, not to move him, listened to Banniang's words, was silent, and then said: "This time the matter is not simple, the court borrowed from our commercial bank, and the loan between ordinary commercial banks is different, how huge is the amount, not child's play." Although I have been busy these days, I have heard a little bit, and the situation on the side of Lord Zhizhou is not optimistic. I think...... I'm afraid this matter is not easy. You start by talking about what you think. ”

Banniang thought about the tangible benefits that this court loan could bring to businessmen in advance, and brought Li Yongren together in a clear manner. and showed that he and Lin Zhaoqing had reached a consensus.

After speaking, he enshrined Cai Junmo's belief in front of Li Yongxing: "This is the letter that my father-in-law asked Hachiro to give to his uncle." ”

Li Yongxing took it, opened it in front of the two of them, and after reading the letter, he was silent for a while, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Does this mean that there is a play? Even if no final decision has been made, at least there is an eighty percent hope.

Eight mothers are overjoyed.
