"Risk ...... Investment?" Wei Wushuang couldn't help but repeat.

"That's right, it's still that question, if it weren't for Qingshan Town, wouldn't ten taels of silver be a lot?"

Wei Wushuang shook his head, "Sometimes my shop can make so much money in a day. ”

Abominable tyrants. Xia Fan pouted, "It's that simple...... For those who decide to quit the exam, this money is no longer of much significance, but for those who continue to take the exam, every tael of silver is precious, and both parties are aware of this fact. Because of this, the offer has a basis for its establishment. Ignoring the momentary gains and losses, and looking at the long-term high-return trading, is what those people do. Even if I disappear after that, they will accept the loss harmlessly, but what if I succeed?"

Speaking of this, Xia Fan didn't explain any more, because he saw Wei Wushuang's eyes light up.

Clearly, he had grasped the key here.

- If you succeed, you will not only get ten times the silver, but also gain the friendship of a monk. Even if he was a newcomer to the Privy Council, he was a serious official. Compared with such a huge return, the risk of a few taels of silver being wasted can be said to be not worth mentioning.

Not everyone can weigh the pros and cons here, but there are many people who ask, and there are always a few people who have a high enough vision and don't care about a little money.

Wei Wushuang continued to think about it, and found that there was a deeper meaning hidden in it.

That is, the same sum of silver, which has different values in the eyes of different people at different times.

For example, in his father's treasury, there was a lot of silver deposits, and some of the money boxes even had a thick layer of dust on them. They are almost non-existent for a large bowl of food shop, but they are not for some, such as a new restaurant or a dart game eager to expand...... Lending them a small sum of money is likely to pay them handsomely.

The same seems to be true of usury in the market, but there is an essential difference between the two - the latter is just taking advantage of people's danger and taking advantage of it, and will never give up until they knock people out of their bones, while the former is looking to the future and seeking a win-win situation. The mere fact that it can bear its own risks is much more acceptable than greedy usury.

What's more, the risk is not impossible to avoid, such as attracting more people and sharing the cost of lending equally, even if the investment fails, it can also greatly reduce the loss......

The more he thought about it, the more excited Wei Wushuang became, and even his hands trembled slightly!

I am afraid that the potential of this trade is far beyond the sale of grain!

Perhaps this is ...... Can be used in comptoirs. He couldn't contain his excitement.

It was originally something that came out of business, Xia Fan smiled and didn't answer.

While the other party was pondering, he had already counted the money in his hand - a total of seven people took his IOUs, and exchanged them for a total of twenty-one taels of silver, which was more than enough to live in a house.

It is a pity that the Fei family reacted quite quickly, and found that there was a small wave of withdrawals among the candidates in less than two hours, and immediately took the most beneficial countermeasures for themselves. You must know that there are more than 400 candidates in Qingshan Town, and the time of getting up and moving is different, and it is normal for there to be a small number of people on the street, and you can still notice this change in the crowd, and the disciples of the family are indeed well prepared.

Otherwise, if he saved a little more silver, he might be able to buy a bottle of spiritual fire directly from someone else.

"Brother Xia, I already know about venture capital," Wei Wushuang gradually calmed down from his reverie, "It's indeed a good plan, but if you don't have so many people to choose from, I'm afraid its effect will be greatly reduced." How did you know that a group of candidates would give up on the exam this morning?"

"It's a personal secret. Xia Fan said lightly.

"Can't say?" Wei Wushuang looked like he wanted to know anyway.

"No, you can't. ”

"Brother Xia, ten meals!"

"I can't send me a restaurant. ”

......

Now that you have the money in hand, it's time to get down to business. Xia Fan returned to the teahouse and asked Xiao Er about the situation in the back mountain with a tael of silver - there was indeed a flat land on the mountainside, and some scattered ancient tombs were piled up. These burial mounds have existed for at least nearly 100 years, and they can often be seen in summer and autumn.

In addition, there is a winding uphill road, but the road is overgrown with vegetation on both sides, and it is extremely difficult to walk, and few people go deep into the green hills except for the hunters in the town.

"Where does that road lead?" Xia Fan was a little concerned, this kind of mountain road was theoretically made by stepping on it for many years, and a few hunters alone should not be able to do this.

"I don't know about this," Xiao Er shook his head and said, "The mountain range behind Qingshan Town has no end in sight, it is impossible for this road to cross the mountains and go around from the other side, right? ”

"Alright, I'm okay for now. Xia Fan threw him half a corner of broken silver, "A braised beef bun and send it to the door of my room." ”

"Okay!"

Then he looked at Wei Wushuang, "I'm going to go to the back mountain to have a look, you don't want to follow this time, do you?"

The latter hurriedly shook his head, "I have already decided not to participate in the taxi examination, and Brother Xia will go by himself." I will stay in the teahouse, and if I happen to hear any useful clues, I may be able to help Brother Xia. ”

"Thanks. Xia Fan drank the tea, then turned around and left.

After walking a few hundred meters through the tic-tac-toe street, the small town was already behind him.

Although some earthen huts can still be seen here, they are no different from the ruins, with either the roof collapsing or only half of the wall remaining.

The weeds on the road are also getting denser, and the shade of the trees is intruding into the road area a little bit, and the wind blowing around is much cooler.

The seemingly distant cliffs are now overhead, and in the other world, the nameless mountain may not be worth mentioning, but here anyone who wants to climb it will retreat in front of the intertwined vines and thorns.

If Xiao Er is right, the road under his feet will soon split in two, as if he has been split by a mountain cliff.

At this time, Xia Fan suddenly heard a quarrel.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise and stepped forward.

I saw that at the fork in the road, a group of candidates gathered in a group, shouting and scolding. Across from them were a group of men in white.

Limited by dyeing technology, there were not many solid color clothes in this era, and white was one of the rarer ones. In this examination, he wore a white dress and often acted in groups, and there was only one in Xia Fan's impression, and that was the disciple of the Fei family.

Seven or eight of them lined up, just in the way to the mountainside.

Among them, the leader has sword eyes and starry eyebrows, a high nose and thin lips, and looks extraordinary in both appearance and aura.

"Why don't you let the guys over?"

"This is the Great Qi Shi Exam, not your Fei family's backyard! Aren't you afraid that we will report it to the invigilator!"

"If you insist on this, don't blame us for being rude!"

And the leading man was unmoved, "My words have been made very clear, according to last night's observation, there are not many spiritual fire points in that field, and competing with each other will only make the collection efficiency low." Instead of wasting time on meaningless grabbing, it is better to line up at the beginning, and when the Fei family finishes picking, it is not too late for you to go. ”

"Can't even we go over?"

Suddenly a blue-robed woman walked out of the crowd, and the double feather embroidery on her shoulder already indicated the identity of the comer.

"Youzhou Luojia is here. "Someone is talking to the ear canal.

Xia Fan found that the other party was the little girl who jumped on the exam table and made everyone at the scene obediently obey the order with her own strength.

"It turned out to be Miss Luo Qingqing, Jiuyang. The man nodded, "I've heard your name since I was in Gyeonggi. Literacy is literacy, and the talent is amazing, and no one in Youzhou can match it. ”

"It's just a compliment. ”

"Fame never spreads for no reason, and even if it is, it must have its own unusual reason, I think. ”

Tsk, this guy really can talk. Xia Fan sneered, with a star face and a serious compliment, it is not shallow for any opposite sex.

Sure enough, the woman known as Luo gently smiled lightly, "Thank you." You haven't answered my question yet, though. ”

"Yes. But we're only going to collect for one day. The other party stretched out a finger and said solemnly, "No matter how much you can collect, you will exit this place tomorrow and no longer set foot here until the end of the exam." ”

"Just one day?"

"Just one day. You can arrange the rest of the time, and if necessary, we can even assign someone to help you stay here. The leader of the Fei family glanced contemptuously at the crowd behind her, "If you don't agree, then you can only fight with your strength." It's a pity that this Shikou doesn't value you and me, who is strong and who is weak, if you let those rats fishing in troubled waters steal the spiritual fire, won't you feel unwilling?"

Luo pondered for a moment before nodding, "Okay." ”

The crowd exploded.

"What does this mean! The family has joined forces to bully our poor candidates?"

"The Fei family has a day for the Luo family, but what about the Fang family? Each of you occupies a day, what should we do!"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go together, I don't believe he can stop it!"

"Don't make people laugh!" The man suddenly shouted, shocking the crowd, "Even so, you still have one day left, don't you? This is the Qiguo Scholar Examination, not a place for you to pass the test, only those who have the ability can become Fangshi, isn't this a matter of course! The strength is not as good as others, and they still want to take advantage of the chaos to get the spiritual fire, how ridiculous is this idea! Instead of shouting here, it is better to think carefully about how to win the priority of the last day!" He paused, with one hand behind his back and the other hand forward. Of course, if you want to prove yourself now, I'm always welcome!"

When Luo turned around and left lightly, passing by Xia Fan's side, Xia Fan glanced at her with interest, "I didn't expect you to agree so simply." Aren't you afraid that the people here will spread out, and the Luo family doesn't even have the courage to compete with the Fei family?"

"It's you. Luo Qing also seemed to remember him, and put on a weak look, "The little girl is not a great character, what is so strange about falling behind in front of Fei Nian, the first person of the Fei family?"

"Uh......" Xia Fan blinked in surprise, he thought that people who were praised as geniuses had more or less arrogance, and they didn't want to lose to others.

"If they were already in a mess before I got here, maybe things would have turned around. But now it seems that Fei Nian is not wrong. Lo chuckled lightly and waved goodbye to him, "Besides, even if it is a bad order, it is better than no order at all." ”
