Chapter 147 Blessings and Misfortunes Depend on Each Other
At the back door of Yuanqi Guangzhou Branch, he bowed down to send Yi Zhishu away slowly, and Liang Jiemin turned around and turned back to the courtyard, secretly wondering why Yi Zhizu was so interested in Shunde's silk reeling industry, so he did not hesitate to go to Shunde for a field trip, is he trying to vigorously support the silk reeling industry? This doesn't seem to make sense, Shunde silk reeling industry is already very prosperous, and low-interest lending is the biggest support.
It's not support, is it trying to monopolize the silk reeling industry? As soon as this idea came out, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was possible, to know that Yi Zhizhi is now the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi, what he is concerned about is definitely not a trivial matter, Yuanqi can monopolize the money bank in Shunde, and it is not difficult to monopolize the silk reeling industry in Shunde.
Silk reeling is the most important link in the entire silk weaving link, and monopolizing the silk reeling industry is equivalent to monopolizing the entire silk weaving industry and monopolizing the entire silk weaving industry in Shunde? Thinking of this, Liang Jiemin himself was taken aback.
"The chief treasurer." A guy hurriedly greeted him and reported: "He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi are outside asking to see each other, and they have been waiting for a long time. ”
Liang Jiemin frowned, these two people now came to ask for a meeting just to ask him to help find out the wind or to intercede with Yi Zhixiang on his behalf, he said without thinking: "No." But after a second thought, he changed his words and said, "Bring them in." ”
After He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi entered the room and respectfully saluted, He Shutai said with a ashamed face: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to my cousin's words, and now I am trapped in the tea market, and I can't extricate myself from ......." ”
Liang Jiemin gave up his seat with his hand and said, "No need to be formal, sit down and speak slowly." After the two of them sat down, he then asked, "How much money did you invest in the tea market?" ”
Wang Chaoyi hurriedly said: "The little nephew is bent on recovering his losses, he is too anxious, and he tries his best to encourage Zi'an to borrow from the account bureau, and a number of silk merchants in Longshan and Longjiang have successively invested silver in the tea market, totaling more than 8.5 million taels. ”
Borrowing from the bookkeeper? Liang Jiemin asked quietly, "How much did you borrow from the account bureau?" ”
"Two times before and after, a total of five million."
Million! Liang Jiemin secretly thought, this is a little easier, the pawnshop printing bureau just has a pot, there is no need to worry about the loss of silver to other provinces, you have to make suggestions to Yi Zhi, and find a way to deduct this silver.
Seeing that he was silent, He Shutai said cautiously: "Now that more than 300,000 quintals of tea are smashed in his hands and cannot be sold, the little nephew has the courage to pray for his cousin to mediate ......." ”
"I have long warned you not to get involved in the tea market, and when you were trapped, I also reminded you to lose hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and decisively withdraw from ......the tea market." Liang Jiemin sighed lightly as he spoke, and said, "How is it good now?" Eat the meat in your mouth, do you still expect the shopkeeper Yi Da to spit it out? ”
"The little nephew doesn't dare." He Shutai hurriedly said: "I don't dare to ask for extravagance now, I just hope to be able to repay the five million loan from the account bureau." ”
"Five million?" Liang Jiemin rolled his eyes and said, "Is this still called not daring to ask for extravagance?" ”
Wang Chaoyi hurriedly said: "The price of tea falls again, twenty taels and one quintals are still worth it after all, we have 320,000 quintals of tea in hand, and we only want to return five million, so if the price of tea is reduced to sixteen taels and one quintals...... It is impossible for the Thirteen Banks to acquire such a large amount of tea at such a low price in the tea market. ”
"Confused!" Liang Jiemin scolded softly: "It is Yuan Qi who dominates the tea market, not the Thirteen Lines, Yuan Qi would rather buy tea at a high price of twenty-six in the tea market than buy the tea in your hands at a price of sixteen, understand?" Yuanqi's purchase of tea in the tea market at a high price can reduce the losses of tea merchants and help many money houses, that is, many owners of Yuanqi today, to recover loans to the greatest extent!
You speculate in the tea market, make money in the tea market, and if you rob Yuanqi's silver, now Yuanqi has finally trapped you in the tea market, do you think Yuanqi can easily let you go? Yuan Qi, the Thirteen Elements, and the Tea Industry Association are all staring at your eight million with red eyes, and you still expect to return to five million? ”
"Five million is the minimum requirement." Wang Chao said in a deep voice: "If you can't repay the loan of the account, all the silk merchants will go bankrupt. ”
Liang Jiemin didn't want to wade into this troubled water at all, he just wanted to trap the other party's bottom line, and suppress it by the way, naturally he would not be overly persecuted, and after a little groaning, he said: "This matter is too big, and it is difficult for the old man to mediate, but he can lead you to the Yuanqi General Account, as for whether the shopkeeper of Yida is willing to see you, the old man does not dare to guarantee." ”
What He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi are most afraid of now is that they are content not to see them, and they don't even give them the opportunity to negotiate, can the tea in their hands be sold at a low price? Of course they can, but they can't sell it at the moment, not to mention the moment, I'm afraid it's impossible this year, and the interest of the account bureau is something they can't afford, if they can save five million and pay off the loan from the account bureau, they still have more than one million taels left in their hands, at least they can ensure that most of the silk merchants will not go bankrupt.
After all, Liang Jiemin is the chief shopkeeper of Yuanqi Guangzhou, and with him threading the needle and threading from it, Yi Zhizhi will not give no face, He Shutai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Uncle Cousin is very gracious, and the little nephew is unforgettable." ”
Xirong Lane, Yuanqi General Number.
Yi Zhishu just entered Rong Yuan, Yan Shikuan quickly chased after him from behind, since he decided to go to Shanghai, he has been following Kong Jian'an with the head office during this time to be familiar with the money business, after catching up, he also said: "Third brother, my father has allowed my little sister to go to Shanghai with me." ”
Yi Zhizhi listened to the joy, and then felt that it was wrong, Yan Qichang was so easy to speak? Immediately stopped and turned around, and said, "You shouldn't be telling Ling Zun, this is what I mean, right?" ”
Yan Shikuan blinked his small eyes and said, "If you don't say that, how can my father agree?" ”
Yi Zhishu was speechless for a while, and quickly stepped into the study, Yan Shikuan followed in, and said, "When will the third brother go to Shanghai, the little sister is not young." ”
"It's not too young, my little sister is only sixteen years old." Yi Zhizhi said angrily: "Do you know that the best age for a woman to have a child is twenty-four to twenty-nine years old?" ”
Yan Shikuan was stunned for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then said with a look of grievance: "Third brother said that he will only go to Shanghai in seven or eight years?" ”
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Yi Zhixiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you heard of it, Qichang Foreign Company has a special ship for transporting crows. It only takes six or seven days to get to Shanghai, and I have already ordered two clippers from them, and it will be very convenient to travel back and forth in the future. ”
Ordered two clippers? Yan Shikuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "There is one for me?" ”
This guy's cheeks are getting thicker and thicker, Yi Zhi is lazy to ignore him, and he is about to drive people away, but Li Wang, who listened to it, reported outside: "Young master, the shopkeeper of the Guangzhou branch is here." ”
Didn't they just meet, why did Liang Jiemin come again? Yi Zhixiang was a little puzzled, and hurriedly ordered: "Please invite him in." Yan Shikuan was very knowledgeable, and hurriedly left consciously.
After Liang Jiemin came in to sit down, he explained in detail the meeting with He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi, and then said: "It has long been rumored that many pawnshops and printing bureaus intend to transfer the silver to other provinces, and now it is a rare opportunity. ”
Yi Zhixiang nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Tell them, stay in Guangzhou honestly for a while, and when I come back from Shunde, I will talk to them in detail, and in addition, tell them that the misfortune and fortune depend on and the loss of the tea market, Yuanqi will help them double their earnings." ”
Hearing this, Liang Jiemin was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Is this the big shopkeeper serious?" ”
Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liang, rest assured, this is not a lie, as the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi, how can I be honest, even if I don't care about my own reputation, I also take into account Yuanqi's reputation." ”
