Chapter 304: Feng Shui Turns (2)
Zhu Youning said with a smile: "The 1.5 million taels of silver have been redeemed, so I specially invited two adults to come to witness today, and it is time to pay off the IOU." ”
Old lady Zhu was very surprised: "Why is it so fast?" ”
His tone was full of suspicion, and Zhu Youning was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's indeed finished." ”
While speaking, Cai Yuanjie picked up the wooden box, opened the lid and put it on the table.
Old lady Zhu's face was calm, but his hands were a little shaky, and he took out the deposit ticket inside and distributed it to Zhu Huazhang and Zhu Yanfeng, and the three of them counted it carefully together.
About 1,200,000 taels!
Not enough!
Old lady Zhu slammed the deposit ticket and said angrily: "What do you mean by this!" This deposit ticket is not enough for 1.5 million taels at all! Zhu Youning, you are also a member of the Zhu family, so you can't harm your family like this! ”
Zhu Youning's ears were itchy when he was yelled at by Mrs. Zhu, and he couldn't help but pluck it with his tail finger, and then said with a smile: "Grandfather is angry, although I am just a steward with no power, I can do things for our own family, and nothing else can be guaranteed, I can still guarantee if I don't pit our Zhu family."
"There will be absolutely no mistake in the number, you still missed these, take a closer look, these are all Zhujia Qianzhuang's deposit tickets exchanged for Chang'an Qianzhuang, there is no reason for Chang'an Qianzhuang to give this part of the silver for nothing, right?
"The sum of the two kinds of deposit tickets is exactly one and a half million and one tael, and one or two more. We are all our own relatives, and I will pay for one or two pieces of silver out of my own pocket, so I won't count it for you. If you don't believe me, then take a closer look. ”
Old lady Zhu's eyes were red, and the part of the invalid deposit ticket that was exchanged for Chang'an Qianzhuang was also carefully ordered, and it was really as Zhu Youning said, not only was there a lot, but there were one or two more!
Chang'an Qianzhuang is really a good means, in this way, in fact, the silver spent by Chang'an Qianzhuang is nearly 300,000 taels less for no reason!
Appreciating enough of Old Lady Zhu's rich expression, Zhu Youning said with a smile: "Grandfather has clicked, the number is correct, you can write off the IOU of Chang'an Qianzhuang, right?" After that, he looked at Lu Zhifu and Cai Zhixian on the side.
Lu Zhifu smiled and said, "Well, this is indeed enough." Master Qu, you click again and see if there are any mistakes. ”
"Yes."
The master personally ordered it again, and said with a smile: "It is indeed one and a half million and one tael." There's nothing wrong with that. ”
Governor Lu looked at Old Lady Zhu with a smile and stretched out his hand behind him. The entourage immediately took out the signed documents and the IOU from Chang'an Qianzhuang.
Mrs. Zhu was a little stunned for a while, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Zhu Yanfeng asked: "The number of tickets is enough, what about the people who go to get the silver?" ”
Zhu Youning made an appearance that he didn't know anything, and looked back at Cai Yuanjie inquiringly.
Cai Yuanjie took a step forward and arched his hand: "Since the transaction is completed, our Chang'an Money Village has no obligation, and those people have already let them go to Zhujia Money Village to continue to withdraw money." ”
Old lady Zhu finally came back to her senses, and a layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on her forehead.
Zhujia Qianzhuang and Chang'an Qianzhuang had a transaction, borrowed so much silver, but there was no silver at all, the treasury of Qianzhuang is now clean and can run horses, those poor ghosts will not be able to get money!
What did those people do when they couldn't get their money?
When the Zhu family's reputation was discredited, it was easy for Chang'an Qianzhuang to appear to help them solve the crisis, so that the reputation of Zhujiaqianzhuang would not fall too ugly.
But this time, what will happen if there are people who continue to be unable to withdraw their money?
Not only will the Zhu family be completely discredited.
Those who were originally relieved of the Zhu family for the time being and did not plan to withdraw money immediately will also rush over!
Mrs. Zhu still remembers the account at that time, the large households deposited more than one million taels, but the retail investors added up to about two million taels.
Chang'an Qianzhuang repaid 1 million taels of large accounts this time, 200,000 taels of retail investors, and exchanged 300,000 taels of deposit notes, that is to say, once the news spread that Zhujia Qianzhuang couldn't even take out a tael of silver, the remaining 1.5 million taels of retail investors will rush up to ask for money!
Previously, only some people made trouble, and the Zhu family was already facing the danger of causing a civil uprising and being raided by the government......
The cold sweat on Old Lady Zhu's body was through.
They couldn't have imagined that it would be easy to calm down one wave of trouble, but then another wave of trouble.
Zhu Youning said with a smile: "Grandfather, the task on the side of Chang'an Qianzhuang is completed, according to the deadline on the contract, after one year, the Zhu family Qianzhuang will return the capital of 1.5 million taels of silver and the interest of 300,000 taels of silver to Chang'an Qianzhuang, and Chang'an Qianzhuang will return all the real estate and shops mortgaged by the Zhu family." When the time comes, I will invite the prefect and the prefect to testify, and the transaction between our two banks will be cleared. Next, please also ask Zhujia Qianzhuang to fulfill what the contract says, change the plaque. Zhu's money village can't be called a money village in the future. ”
"You, you!" Zhu Huazhang was furious, and raised his hand to slap Zhu Youning.
But his raised hand was easily caught by the Buddha Eighth Master. The eighth master of the Buddha is very good at foreign kung fu, and his arm is as hard as a stone, Zhu Huazhang hugged his arm in pain and gasped.
The eighth master of the Buddha said: "Please be cautious and don't touch the bottom line." ”
Old lady Zhu looked at Zhu Youning, who was dressed in pink and festive with straight eyes, and the dress that he thought was pleasing to the eye just now has become the biggest irony on the face of the Zhu family's money.
Zhu Youning did it on purpose, right?
She didn't say a word when he scolded her that day, but now she threw him in the face with reality, making him, and the entire Zhu family, fall into a crisis again, even a crisis that is even more dangerous than the first time.
He wanted to repay the 1.5 million taels to the people, because he knew that the reputation of the Zhu family's money village had been completely ruined, and there was no longer a situation where the people would not come to take it when they saw that there was silver to take.
They won't trust the Zhu family money bank anymore.
Even the other businesses of the Zhu family will fall into a credibility crisis.
What are the terrible consequences of a merchant who is not trusted?
When he signed the contract, he promised so many treaties that "lost power and humiliated the country", and now he still lost his credibility and silver, and even through this incident, the image of Chang'an Qianzhuang became more and more tall among the people, and even in the eyes of the prefect and the great order, the Zhu family may have become a useless clown.
Defeated, defeated, defeated!
How will this old face see people in the future!
Old lady Zhu covered her heart, her face turned blue, her eyes began to roll up, and her body was a little stiff and straight.
Zhu Youning was shocked, and quickly pinched others: "Grandfather, grandfather, are you okay?" ”
