Chapter 145: Tianhe Firm
Lin Xiqi also remembered that Wang Dong had told him before that the Wang family would loot the business recently, and it was a big deal.
What it was, Wang Dong did not find out.
Now he understands that the Wang family's target is a business from the capital, which is the so-called big deal.
"Please ask the adults to make decisions for the little girl!" Liu Huaixu shouted again.
"My lord, these robbers are not in Sandao County right now. Chen Changjie reminded again.
Lin Xiqi frowned, this is a bit troublesome.
After all, it is not under his jurisdiction, and it is still inappropriate to cross the border to suppress bandits.
Of course, he is not easy to deal with on the surface, but there are still a lot of means in secret.
"How much is the value of the goods you have been robbed this time?" Lin Xiqi asked.
Liu Huaixu hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "The cost is five million taels, if all these goods are transported back to the capital, they will be worth at least twenty million taels." ”
"So many?" Lin Xiqi said with wide eyes.
He knew that those big businesses and big forces were very profitable, but he didn't expect this profit to be so high.
Of course, this is also based on the fact that you have strong strength and others dare not provoke you.
Otherwise, if you don't have enough strength and are robbed halfway, you will lose all your money.
Lin Xiqi coughed lightly, concealed his gaffe, and said, "Okay, this official will immediately send someone to investigate this matter first, it will take some time, after all, these people are not within the jurisdiction of this county." ”
"Thank you, sir. Liu Huaixu said gratefully.
"Miss Liu, where do you live now?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"In addition to the two little women who escaped this time, there are also a few guards, who plan to find an inn in the city and settle down first. Liu Huaixu said.
This time, the guards of their caravan were almost completely dead and wounded, and it was thanks to the loyal guards who desperately protected her that she escaped alive.
"It's not safe in the city either. Lin Xiqi thought for a while and said, "In this way, you'd better find a place to live next to the county office, and the official will send a government official to protect you." ”
"Thank you, sir. Liu Huaixu thought for a while and nodded.
"Master Chen, you go and help Miss Liu deal with the matter of the residence. By the way, I would like to tell Wang Zhutou that he is personally responsible for the safety of Miss Liu and them. Lin Xiqi said.
After Liu Huaixu and the others went down, Lin Xiqi's brows couldn't help frowning.
If the people of the Wang family knew that there were still people alive in Tianhe Firm, they would probably cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
The officials alone will definitely not be able to protect it, and Wang Dong must go out in person.
"The Tianhe business in the capital?" Lin Xiqi muttered, "I am confused about those things in the capital, it is too far away, and I don't know what the origin of this Tianhe business is." It seems that we have to find Tianyanlou to buy news again. ”
Skynet has just been set up, and it is still in the training stage, and it will take some time to provide information to itself.
"Five million taels of goods, even if they are sold nearby, can they be worth ten million taels?" Lin Xiqi was a little moved.
"The three robber forces of the Wang family, and the other two, have been entrenched here for so many years, and there are countless businesses that have been looted, how much wealth should there be? Well, most of the things obtained by the three shares of dragons, tigers and leopards still fall into the hands of the Wang family. Lin Xiqi thought secretly.
It seems that he will definitely not let go of the Wang family.
With the assistance of Chen Changjie, Liu Huaixu and his entourage rented a small courtyard not far from the county office.
In addition to Liu Huaixu and Ping'er, there are five guards left in Tianhe Firm, and all five of them are injured.
Among the officials brought by Wang Dong this time, some of them were people from Skynet, and some of them had already joined the officials in disguise as a cover for their identities.
"How are they injured?" Liu Huaixu couldn't help but hurriedly ask when she saw Ping'er coming in.
"Miss, the injuries are fine, and everyone is not worried about their lives, but what should we do next?" asked Ping'er with a worried face.
Liu Huaixu was silent, and she didn't know what to do now.
"Miss, what's the use of you going to this magistrate?" Ping'er said, "Even if he wants to take care of it, I'm afraid he doesn't have that strength." ”
"Alas, how did I not know?" Liu Huaixu sighed and said, "Ping'er, this trip is the last chance for our Liu family, losing this batch of goods, our Liu family may no longer be able to withstand the pressure from all sides." The goods were robbed, and our guards suffered heavy casualties, and there was no way to recapture the goods on our own. Asking the government for help is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”
"It must have been those bastards of the Tongtong merchants. Ping'er said angrily.
Liu Huaixu shook her head slightly, she didn't say anything, she still knew it in her heart.
This matter must have something to do with the trade name, but what can it be?
If I can't bring this batch of goods back this time, I'm afraid that the industries under Tianhe Firm will be offended, and then they will only be sold cheaply, and I don't know if it will be enough to repay the debts owed.
"Also, miss, the second master must also be involved. Ping'er said, "He eats inside and out, is he still a member of the Liu family?"
The second master that Ping'er said is actually Liu Huaixu's second uncle Liu Gu.
In the hands of his father, it took more than ten years to develop Tianhe firm into one of the four major firms in Beijing.
It's a pity that three years ago, Liu Heng was defeated, and this defeat was all the output of his previous ones.
Liu Heng was too ambitious and wanted to become the No. 1 business in the world, so he fell into the way of his opponent and owed a huge debt.
Misfortune is not a one-way street, and it didn't take long for Liu Heng to be plotted by someone, and he fell into a strange poison, and the whole person fell into a coma.
The Liu family tried their best and spent a lot of money, that is, they hung Liu Heng's life, but they couldn't revive him.
Then, Liu Huaixu, who was still 12 years old at the time, took over the management of Tianhe Firm.
She inherited Liu Heng's talent in business and stabilized the situation of Tianhe Firm.
It's a pity that with Liu Heng's poisoning, the Liu family also began to split.
Especially her second uncle Liu Gu wanted to seize the control of Tianhe Firm, coupled with the suppression of other firms in the outside world, no matter how good her talent was, she would not be able to resist internal and external attacks.
Tianhe Firm has been losing money in just a few years, and now it is in jeopardy.
This time, she personally followed the caravan out, because this time was too important, and there could not be a trace of mistakes, otherwise their Tianhe business might really be finished.
It was her father's brainchild, and she couldn't watch the Celestial Merchant disappear like this.
She had been very careful this time, but she didn't expect to let them know.
Liu Huaixu didn't have the heart to think about it now, whether these things were discovered by the company itself, or leaked by his second uncle.
"Miss, there are officials guarding outside, do you think this magistrate will collude with officials and bandits to murder us?" Ping'er said a little worriedly.
"Not really, right?" Liu Huaixu said.
"Miss, there is a lot of collusion between officials and bandits, especially in such a remote place. Ping'er said.
"Is there anything else we can do?" asked Liu Huaixu.
Ping'er was speechless for a moment, yes, they had no other choice now.
I can only hope that this magistrate can not hope to take back all these goods, as long as I can get back half of them, I can barely let Tianhe Firm survive this crisis.
