This inn is the largest in the city and is very well equipped. Therefore, Dipu's courtyard is completely independent, and even Dipu's room has an inner and outer suite, a living room, a subordinate room, etc.

Dipu indulged the two rabbit girls for a while when he heard a knock at the door. Nelly opened the door, and in came the leader of the mercenaries who were pro-soldiers, Julia, the female mercenary who used to set up a stall to sell things.

Julia pleaded, "My lord! ”

"Who is it?"

"They introduced themselves as Childish Sword Bank. You have something to do with an adult. ”

Huh? Dipu is weird. I have had a lot of dealings with the Zhiju Sword Trading Company. But how could it be a bank this time?

"Then please come in!"

......

There were five or six guests in total. They brought generous gifts, introduced each other, greeted each other, and ...... politely. After some etiquette, in the puzzled gaze of Dipu, the leader named Jerome smiled and said, "The contemptible person is the credit manager of the Jujian Bank. These are also colleagues of Youxing. Excuse me for a moment, can you talk in private?"

Dipu muttered in his heart. It was just time for dinner: "Then please come to your house." Just eat together. Coarse tea and light rice, sluggish. ”

That Albert had a bad mouth, but he was a good cook. He was in charge of the cooking, and the two rabbit girls had already filled the table.

After a few glasses, Dip was the first to ask, "Mr. Jerome, what is your business?"

"Hehe!" Jerome laughed a few times and put down his knife and fork, "Congratulations, Your Excellency, you have officially owned the new territory of Magic Lake Island. A few of our banks have just received the news that Mrs. Zun has signed an agreement. will pay 250 million to the empire, 50 million to the kingdom, and ...... 100 million not accounted for. ”

"Phew", the knife and fork in Dipp's hand fell onto the plate. This news was too unexpected, not because of the signing of the agreement, but because he had to pay 400 million. Isn't it the original 300 million at all? So Dipu asked eagerly, "You." You...... There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Jerome was still full of kindness: "Hehe! I would like to tell you the inside story, which was originally 300 million, but after the news reached the city of St. Louis, the "Monitor" published a long review. Said: Abundant products, important trade. It's a cheap sale. Therefore, His Majesty decreed, the price was discussed again, and it rose by 100 million. ”

"!" Dipper was furious, and he understood who was doing the trick. It must be Charlie who played with the pen. This was also the first time that Dip saw the power of the pen, and he played with words. It would cost 100 million more? 100 million! That's an astronomical amount.

And Jerome continued: "This large sum of money must be paid at the latest before the year. I know that you certainly don't have so much cash in your hands, so I take the liberty of visiting with all my colleagues to share your worries. ”

In fact, for banks, the most desired is a high-quality loan like Dipu. With status, territory, income, and background, there is no need to be afraid of the Diprei account. Of course, the amount of this large loan was too large, so after getting the news through the Zhiju Sword Trading Bank on Pooh's side, the Zhiju Sword Bank immediately joined forces with several banks to form a banking group. To make a co-lending to Dipu.

"Grass!" Dip slapped the table and exploded. The total income of Magic Lake Island in a year is only a few million, and it is necessary to pay 400 million? Is it possible to repay the principal in 100 years? Moreover, it is impossible for the income to be monopolized, and there are more than a dozen tiger seats, and even more tens of thousands of people on Magic Lake Island. Is it really ruthless? Do you really know that I can live for thousands of years, master?" "Grab money? Labor and management just don't agree. Who is rare on Magic Lake Island?"

Jerome smiled, not seeming to sense Dipp's anger: "News from St. Louis City: the Empire will hold a grand ceremony to celebrate two great victories. One is the Northern Victory of Lord Red Lion, and the other is the victory of Lord Daniel's Kingdom of Beamon. Since, think about it, if someone 'does evil' in these two great victories. What will happen to the Empire? What will happen to Your Majesty?"

Dipu also gradually calmed down. When he first learned the news, he somewhat complained about Lisa who stayed behind. But now think about it. I understood that the little girl was under a mountain of pressure. At this moment, he even felt sorry for Lisa. But 400 million? That's too much, isn't it? So Dipu distinguished: "With so much money, the black-eyed collar doesn't have it at all? Isn't that forcing people to jump into the river?"

Jerome smiled "hehe": "Your Excellency, the kingdom knows the situation in your territory. The Empire knows, even a few of us. Isn't that a sea of bursting arrows on your hibiscus steppe? If it weren't for the Holy See's quick action, would it have given you that territory? The army would have already driven over, right? Although you have suffered a great loss this time, it is nothing more than a compensation for the empire and the kingdom. Think again, if you are disobedient and disrespectful, the territory can be given to you. That can also be taken back. ”

Although Jerome was referring to the hibiscus steppe, his words hit the nail on the head of Dip. That's right! The key is the black-eyed castle! I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

Now Dipu has a feeling of helplessness, and after thinking about it for a long time, he can only face reality. So he asked tentatively, "Then how can this bank group of yours borrow money?"

Jerome replied, "We have inquired, and this time your fines are not required by the kingdom, and those that are not recorded in the account are needless to say. But the Empire needs your 100 million worth of Burst Arrows. Of course, this can be discussed, and if we cooperate, we have some relationship and can help. But 80 million is never less. Also, six gentlemen, including Viscount Gumbit and Grand Magician Jason, have already purchased plots of land around Magic Lake Island from you and become their territory. It will also pay you nearly 10 million. And we can borrow all the 310 million cash you need. ”

Dipu pondered in his heart, these bank openers are really rich, but if you think about it carefully, when you cheated two hundred gold coins from your little sister, Princess Chenel, she was so happy that she was about to roll on the ground. And now in the face of hundreds of millions of figures, he doesn't even blink. Speaking of which...... Brother is getting higher and higher!

However, if he is willing to borrow such a huge amount of money, there must be a demand, so Dipu continued to ask: "How is the interest calculated?"

"15%, paid off in ten years. Jerome replied immediately.

"15%?" said Dip almost jumped. It costs nearly 50 million yuan of interest a year, and before the principal is returned, these moneylenders are also dark.

But as she said that, Julia knocked on the door again: "My lord!

......

Albert scolded and brought a few more dishes, and he threw the plate heavily on the table, and the soup was splashing.

However, Dip did not care about Albert's impudence at all. He sat on the main seat with a smile on his face, looking at the five or six people in a row on either side of the table, staring at each other as if they were fighting cocks.

The group of guests was another group of bankers, who had the same intentions as Jerome, and the leader was Casapa from the Spindle Bank.

Dipu's heart almost blossomed: "Although borrowing seems inevitable, ...... Call you black, let you be black again? The two are competing, it's time to lower the price of each other, right?"

I saw that the eyes of Jerome and Kasapa fiercely clashed in the air, stirring up a little lightning. After a long "fierce battle", it seemed that they were equally tired, and the two of them shifted their eyes and both looked at Dipu.

Di Puqiang held back a smile and asked, "Tell me the conditions, right? Whoever has good conditions will borrow them." ”

Jerome still nodded politely: "First, 15% interest." ”

Kasapa nodded in the same way: "So do we." ”

Jerome continued: "Second, pay it off in ten years. ”

Kasapa: "So do we. ”

Jerome: "Article three, all territories as collateral. “

Kasappa: "We're the same!"

Jerome: "Fourth ......"

"Bang!" Dipu slapped hard, and the basin on the table made a crisp sound. He was really angry, "You guys...... Play with me?"

Jerome still smiled gracefully: "Your Excellency, I have been friends with Mr. Kasapa for many years. Therefore, it is agreed that there can be no vicious competition, and they are ready to jointly lend to you. ”

In fact, the eyes of the two just now were not fighting at all, but negotiating. They finally decided: half of the quota for each family, and jointly pit this lord with no background.

"Don't borrow!" How could Dipu be willing to be toyed with by them?

"Please think about it calmly. The mainland can no longer find a bank group with such deep financial resources as ours. Jerome advised.

"Don't borrow!" how could Dipu listen?

"Then you don't want the territory?"

"Can you handle it?"

Casapa on the side spoke: "Before the despicable man came this time, Her Royal Highness Princess Tricy asked me to express my greetings to you. Spindle...... His Highness too. ”

It turns out that this spindle bank still has such a background? Dipu was even more annoyed: "Can this little girl control me?"

"Uh......?"

Finding that he was at an impasse, Jerome hurriedly gave way: "Your Excellency, how about a point reduction?" 14%?"

"41% doesn't matter!" Dipu showed a scoundrel face, "Then you can borrow it! ”

"Ahem, Your Excellency laughed. ”

"Joke, I'll go back to the territory now, see if you dare to come?"

"That'......," Kasapa said, "13 percent." Your Excellency, that's all we have to do, and we really can't go any lower. ”

“10%。 If you agree, you can talk about it. If you don't agree, then please?" said Dipp about his psychological price.

"It really doesn't work, it really doesn't work......"

"Sending off!"

"What about 12.5%?"

"Sending them off! Are all the people dead?

"Your Excellency, don't. In fact, by working with us, you can enjoy many other preferential conditions. ”

"Then you promised 10%?"

"It's not...... , that is, ......"

"Drop-off!" (To be continued.) )
