Chapter 514: Reselling Public Grain
No treacherous businessman, businessman this profession is unprofitable, the sensitivity to numbers in the heart is higher than anyone else, such as borrowing, lending money to others without interest, this is undoubtedly a huge loss for businessmen, because there is a large amount of liquidity in vain has been shelved, they could have used this liquidity to invest in the reproduction link, to obtain greater profits.
However, this is a purely digital account, lending to others is a huge loss, but lending to officials is different, borrowing them money without charging interest, this is to do favors, a small favor of officials, may be worth thousands of gold in the future, this account Du Mingwei calculated very clearly, and he was very willing to borrow money in exchange for favors.
As for the collateral, it belongs to the risk control link, a small amount of money is just a little money, there is a risk, there is a risk, a big money like now, and it is a big money that the nobles of the whole city want to work together to finance and borrow, no collateral is child's play, and it is impossible to put it anywhere.
Just as Gomer and Du Mingwei were discussing the collateral, Lin Gengsen took out his peanuts and peeled them, peeling them all over the ground while eating.
Eating and eating, Lin Gengsen looked boredly at the surface of the port, watching the cargo ships come loaded with hundred-year-old wheat, and leave empty after unloading, and couldn't help yawning.
There were a lot of porters unloading at the port, perhaps because the working hours were too long, and one of the porters lost some strength and accidentally fell while carrying the wheat bag, and the bag was broken, and a lot of century-old wheat in it was spilled.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."He shuddered with fright, and hurriedly pulled the hundred-year-old wheat into the bag with his hand, muttering an apology as he plucked it.
This kind of coolie who is responsible for carrying is a branded slave, and it is no different from cattle and horses in the kingdom of Dogulander, and the overseer next to him didn't say a word, he directly threw a whip over, and pulled out hideous blood marks on the face of the porter slave, and scolded while smoking: "cub, you can't do such a simple job, what's the use of you?!" This is a good 100-year-old wheat sent by Wang Cheng, do you think it's the feed you usually eat?! ”
The overseer whipped the slave with a whip, and the latter did not dare to be angry or speak, he was born a slave and had long been numb to this, but he trembled and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and in the face of the whipping, he did not even dare to block it, allowing his body to be bloodied, and only begged the overseer not to slaughter him after venting his anger.
"If you spill the wheat, I'll be deducted from the money, and I'll kill you cubs!" Cub Seed! Cub Seed! "The overseer did not treat the slave as a human being at all, nor did he need to treat the slave as a human being, and soon beat him to a bloody pulp, both as a vent and as a warning to the other slaves.
Lin Gengsen was originally idle and bored, but now that a slave was punished, he watched it with relish, and even the speed of peeling peanuts became faster, and he muttered to himself while eating: "A hundred years of wheat is not cheap, this is wheat, and it is sprinkled with monthly coins." ”
Lin Gengsen continued to peel peanuts and eat them, but as he peeled them, the movements in his hands slowed down for some reason, and he unconsciously squinted his eyes and muttered, "It's all moon coins..."
He subconsciously looked at the cargo ships coming and going, and then at the hundred-year-old wheat unloaded in the harbor, piled up, and his eyes began to become bright.
"Old Mai." Lin Gengsen stuffed the uneaten peanuts back into his pocket, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "You are looking ahead and backward there, hesitating, just thinking about borrowing money, didn't you find that a lot of monthly coins are in front of us?" ”
Hearing this, Gomer followed Lin Gengsen's gaze, and when he saw the mountains of hundred-year-old wheat, he seemed to think of the same thing as Lin Gengsen, and his eyes showed a deep consternation: "You... This is the food sent by the royal city, do you dare to fight them? Are you crazy?! ...”
Lin Gengsen said nonchalantly: "You don't care where it came from." Think about it, why do you want to give out food? Isn't it just that we need to meet our deadlines? To put it bluntly, these centennial wheat are the bargaining chips to complete the task, as long as the goal can be achieved in the end, how you use it, where you use it, the top don't care at all, there is only one thing in their eyes now - blood essence grass. ”
Gome frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean is that we mortgaged the Centennial Wheat to Mr. Du Mingwei and other nobles, and then used the money in exchange to buy Blood Essence Grass from Ah Bao and send it to pay for it. ”
Lin Gengsen added: "I don't even need to mortgage, I just resell these century-old wheat, saving me a lot of trouble to borrow and repay." ”
Gomez's face was still not good-looking, and he paced back and forth with his chin on his head, as if he was caught in a fierce battle of ideas.
Lin Gengsen had a straightforward temperament, didn't have so many worries, and directly followed Gome's pace, and continued to persuade: "My Archon, if you think about it carefully, this method is a win-win situation - the blood essence grass was obtained from the Wangcheng side, and the two of us paid the business on time, Mr. Du Mingwei and the nobles made a good deal, and the wheat in the Danyu Plain was also saved. This kind of win-win cooperation and no one suffers from this kind of good thing, what do you have to hesitate about? ”
Gome frowned and muttered, "Even if you do what you say, how should the first step be executed?" The people all saw these relief grains distributed by the royal city. We sold it to Mr. Du Mingwei... I can't find a good reason. ”
Lin Gengsen said impatiently: "What kind of reason do you want, we are going to do things, what qualifications do the people have to talk too much?" Ask Mr. Du Mingwei yourself if this business will work. ”
"I'm interested in this business, but I have the same concerns as Lord Gome. It is clearly not advisable for you to openly sell me relief food. Du Mingwei paused at this point and silently added, "So, we have to find a reason to make this matter reasonable." ”
Lin Gengsen asked, "What does Mr. Du Mingwei think?" ”
Du Mingwei squinted, and after a long period of contemplation, his voice began to become deeper: "I have an idea, but I don't know if the two adults approve of it. ”
Gomer and Lin Gengsen came to Du Mingwei's side, and the three of them exchanged words and said something that only they could hear.
Gomez was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but gasp: "Playing so big? ”
Lin Gengsen's eyes were also full of consternation, and he said in disbelief: "Good guy, Mr. Du Mingwei, I used to hear others say that shopping malls are like battlefields, and the cowardly will definitely die." Your courage and courage seem to me greater than that of Prince Bolton. ”
"It's overrated." Du Mingwei's expression was calm, and his tone was tepid, "What do you think about the two adults?" Risk often comes with gains, and one wrong step can be a recipe for disaster. But once it's done, what will 'that adult' say about you and me? ”
Gome's eyes wandered and glanced at the mountains of hundred-year-old wheat, and he was silent for a long time, and finally made a "please" gesture in his heart: "Please follow me back to the house, I will order the servants to prepare the dinner, and the three of us will discuss this matter carefully." ”
