Kong Jian'an and Xie Xiuyuan had already guessed at this time that there must be something wrong with the bank mansion, otherwise Yi Zhizu would not have proposed to see Liang Jiemin, the two of them responded in unison, and Xie Xiuyuan said: "Big shopkeeper, so far, more than a dozen other money banks have taken the initiative to come to us to negotiate the matter of attaching shares, do you need to choose a few more to strengthen your momentum?" ”

"Then pick four more and make ten." Yi Zhishu said and took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and he immediately ordered: "Be quick, before four o'clock, let them change the plaque and sign it, and send someone to collect the loan from the tea merchant." ”

"Yes, I'll send someone to inform you separately." Kong Jian'an and Xie Xiuyuan hurriedly withdrew as they spoke.

Wu Changqing also turned around and went out and instructed the little guy to go and inform the Thirteen Lines, he didn't expect Yi Zhizu to be so tough, and quickly made a decision without thinking, the ten money banks changed their plaques and listed, and a group of small merchants would inevitably be busy selling the tea in their hands after hearing the news, if the possibility of negotiating peace between the Thirteen Banks and the Bank Mansion was cut off, and the Thirteen Banks were forced to resist to the end, the tea market had been stirred up, and the government would no longer pay attention to the threat of the Bank Mansion.

It's really ruthless! Wu Changqing secretly admired, and after instructing the little servant, he turned back to the study, and said with some puzzlement: "I have cut off the possibility of the thirteen lines to talk about peace, why do you want to see that Liang Jiemin if you are content?" ”

"Of course, to prevent the situation from deteriorating further." Yi Zhizhi said: "This mess, after all, we have to come forward to clean it up, we can't let it rot to the point of incorrigibility, Liang Jiemin is now poor in donkey skills, and he has to prevent him from making a desperate bet." ”

Wu Changqing nodded and said, "That is the case, I will accompany Contentment to the bank mansion, there is no need to notify the Thirteen Banks, in case the talks collapse, the Thirteen Banks also have room to turn around." ”

"I'm worried that Liang Jiemin won't see me."

Wu Changqing said firmly: "Don't worry, it is Huang Zichang, the president of the Tea Industry Association, who came to the Thirteen Lines to make peace, and he will definitely go to see Liang Jiemin after hearing the news. ”

"Good idea, let's go and intercept Huang Zichang first."

Zhang Ji liquor shop is a small liquor shop at the mouth of Xirong Lane, the store is not big, only four tables are placed, although the shop is small but very tidy, although it is not yet a meal, there is a table of guests in the store, easy to be content and slowly paced into the store, the young man looked at his face, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, and said: "The guest officer is dining?" ”

"I want to borrow precious land for use." Yi Zhishu said and took out a silver ticket and handed it over, saying, "Half an hour is fine, don't delay your business, but the guests at that table have to leave." ”

The young man took the silver ticket and looked at it, saw that it was a denomination of ten taels, and knew that he had met a distinguished guest, so he hurriedly said: "The guest officer will be later." ”

Soon, the shopkeeper walked out, bowed and sent the guests away, quickly cleaned up, and after serving tea, he retreated to the backyard, secretly having fun, Yi Zhizhi and Wu Changqing drank tea, chatting in a low voice, waiting for Huang Zichang all day long, a cup of tea was not drunk, and the little guy quickly came in to report: "It's coming." ”

Yi Zhixiang said with a smile: "Huang Zongshang is afraid that he hates me to the bone, so Changqing will invite him in." ”

After a while, Huang Zichang walked into the store accompanied by Wu Changqing, and saw Yi Zhizhi at a glance, he bowed slightly, and without waiting for Wu Changqing's introduction, Yi Zhizhi was already arching his hand and said: "The big shopkeeper of Yuanqi is easy to be content, and I have seen Huang Zongshang." ”

Easy to be content! Huang Zichang's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled heartily: "It is said that Yida is a young man who is a treasurer, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation." ”

"Mr. Huang praises falsely, the word Yingjie, I don't dare to be in the next place." Yi Zhishu said and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Huang, please sit down." ”

Huang Zichang sat down unceremoniously and said: "The future generations of businessmen are talented, and the shopkeeper of Yida is even more of a Chuqiao, Yuanqi opened for only a few days, and the entire city of Guangzhou was turned upside down, and the two major industry associations in Guangzhou were toyed with in the palm of his hand. ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled and said unhurriedly: "At this time, the ten money houses with new shares of Yuanqi are changing their plaques and listings, and the merchants of the Thirteen Lines are selling a large number of tea leaves in their hands, and the tea market is fluctuating violently. ”

Huang Zichang was only told that he refused to negotiate peace, and he didn't know about these circumstances, and when he heard this, his face turned a little pale, he naturally knew what these measures meant, and stared at Yi Zhizhi at the moment, and said: "What do you want to do so recklessly?" ”

Yi Zhishu still said unhurriedly: "I came to see Mr. Huang today, I just want to tell you that the tea market, the bank mansion can't save it, and Yuan Qi can't save it, only the bank mansion and Yuan Qi join forces to save the tea market." ”

Huang Zichang said vigilantly: "What do you want the old man to do?" ”

"How dare you blackmail Mr. Huang." Yi Zhishu said with a smile: "I think the bank mansion, the tea industry association, and the Yuanqi Bank should sit down and talk about it." ”

It's that simple? Huang Zichang reacted after a while, Yuan Qi was going to have a showdown with the bank mansion, he was faintly excited, and hurriedly got up and said, "You should sit down and have a good talk, let's go see President Liang." ”

In the bank mansion, Liang Jiemin heard that Huang Zichang had brought two people back, and thought that Pan Zhengwei and Wu Shaorong from the Thirteenth Lines were coming, so he hurriedly greeted them, and when he saw that they were two eighteen or nineteen-year-old young offspring, his face immediately became gloomy, and the Thirteen Lines deceived people too much, and actually sent two juniors to talk to him.

Yi Zhizu looked Liang Jiemin up and down a few times, and arched his hand: "A few back and forth between open guns and dark arrows, I only saw President Liang's true face today, and the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi is content with this courtesy." ”

Wu Changqing bowed down and said, "Senior Wu Changqing, I have seen President Liang." ”

Easy to be content! Liang Jiemin was surprised, looked at him carefully a few times, and then said coldly: "The old man and Yuan Qi have nothing to talk about, please go back to the shopkeeper Yida." ”

Seeing this situation, Huang Zichang hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why does Ji Xing refuse people thousands of miles away, the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi came to visit, and President Liang refused to accept guests behind closed doors, this spread out, in terms of Ji Xing, it is not a good reputation, let alone ......." ”

"President Liang." Yi Zhizu said loudly: "If Yuanqi can negotiate with the bank mansion, it will be a happy situation, why should President Liang be stubborn, not give himself a chance, and not give others a chance, the fate of nearly 2,000 ticket number money houses and pawnshops in Guangzhou is in President Liang's thoughts, thousands of tea shops, thousands of tea merchants' net worth and lives are also in President Liang's thoughts, and there are ......." ”

"Enough!" Liang Jiemin shouted in a deep voice, then stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Yida shopkeeper, please!" Although he knew that the other party was a radical general, he really didn't dare to keep the other party out, and if this word was spread, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism.
