Chapter 01: Healthy Competition
Two days later, Wukong led 300,000 Great Sui warriors to the capital of the Great Demon Kingdom, Champion City, at noon.
Since someone had already been sent to inform all the important cities in the north on the march route in advance, when the 300,000 army arrived at the Champion City, Zhu Yuyan had already led all the important ministers of the Great Demon Kingdom to wait under the city gate for a long time.
The City of Champions is still the same as before, it looks tattered, and there is basically no change from when Goku left.
According to the plan, the whole army needed to rest here for a little rest for the night and continue on the road the next morning.
Therefore, after handing over the placement of the troops to Li Jing, Wukong led the four masters and all his women, as well as Li Shimin, Pei Xingyan, and Xu Shiji, under the protection of thousands of guards, followed Zhu Yuyan and others into the champion city.
Looking at the dilapidated houses, dilapidated streets, and few pedestrians around him, Wukong frowned for a moment and then asked Zhu Yuyan.
"You guys haven't done anything these days, why is it still like this, lifeless, not even a little better?" After speaking, Wukong turned his head to look at Zhu Yuyan, waiting for her answer.
"We have no money here, no one else, what do you want to change? Now we need to buy food and daily necessities from mules and sheep. If I had known that this was the result, I wouldn't have taken over this mess by saying anything!" Zhu Yuyan replied to Wukong angrily.
Hearing this, Wukong rolled his eyes and said to Zhu Yuyan: "Alas...... It's because I didn't think it through and thought about the situation here simply. That's good, I'll go back and send an official over, and then in the two states of Youzhuo, increase the publicity here. What do you think of lending you another amount of money?" After speaking, Wukong looked at Zhu Yuyan like a fat weasel.
What kind of little calculation Wukong is playing, Zhu Yuyan can't guess everything, but, as an old Jianghu, of course she will not accept the pie that falls from the sky so easily.
After a short period of silence, Zhu Yuyan asked Wukong calmly, "Oh, do you take good care of us, how much can you lend us, and how will the interest be calculated?" After speaking, she stared at Wukong's eyes, waiting for his answer.
Wukong didn't pay too much attention to Zhu Yuyan's gaze as if he was a thief, he smiled a little, and then replied slowly: "No matter what I say, that's also a good official who sincerely hopes that the four seas will be peaceful, how can he not care about the development of the Demon Kingdom? After saying this very confidently, Wukong adjusted his facial expression, smiled very kindly, and continued to Zhu Yuyan.
"Everyone is your own person, don't worry, I won't charge you high interest. Well...... , borrow one and repay two, you can repay me 600 million gold next year, then it's okay. It's simple and clear, what do you think?" As soon as Wukong's words fell, Xu Shiji and the others who were around him suddenly opened their mouths in shock, and then everyone gave Wukong one, you are the contemptuous eyes of a super profiteer.
Zhu Yuyan was eager to kick Wukong to death now, she suppressed her anger, and said coldly to Wukong: "Ha! You really take good care of us? Borrow one and return two, right? Why don't you just grab it——!" After an angry roar, she looked at Wukong indignantly.
"Eh, you can't say that, you can go and inquire about the whole world, and see who dares to throw 300 million gold coins, as bold as me, directly here. By the way, King Qin is also here, you can ask him now, do they dare to lend you 300 million gold?" Wukong pointed at Li Shimin and said to Zhu Yuyan seriously.
Li Shimin is not a fool, of course he will not demolish Wukong, so as soon as Wukong's words fell, he hurriedly said: "According to the situation here, 300 million gold, I, Li Tang, still dare to borrow it." However, the monthly interest rate is at least five cents, so if you calculate it, it is not less ....... Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yuyan glared at Wukong angrily and shouted loudly.
"I'll borrow it! You don't have to say any more! Five cents is five cents, it's better than some guys who take advantage of the fire to rob!" After speaking, Zhu Yuyan snorted coldly and directly threw Wukong a roll of the eyes.
If there is no Wukong to mix now, Li Shimin will definitely be elated and sign a contract with Zhu Yuyan directly, after all, no one will dislike it, he has a lot of money in his pocket.
However, Wukong is obviously going to make a fortune now, if this is a good thing, if Li Shimin cuts off his beard now, Wukong can't have it in his heart, hate him to death?
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yuyan's words fell, Wukong said angrily: "Don't bring this, right? I wish the manager, the matter of interest is easy to talk about!hmm...... , Six cents! Six cents per month! This is really a friendship price! Zhu Chief, I am lending to your Demon Kingdom in a private capacity, so you will let me earn a little bit? We are all our own people, and you are not embarrassed, you are not embarrassed to watch me suffer poorly, right?" After saying very cheekily, Wukong accompanied the smiling face and looked at Zhu Yuyan with an urgent face.
A rich man who can borrow 300 million gold casually, in front of so many people, said that he is now poor, and Zhu Yuyan and others who heard this were really drunk in their hearts.
However, Li Tang is willing to pay five points of interest, but Wukong himself is stubbornly biting six points of interest, and anyone should know who to borrow money from, right?
Therefore, after Zhu Yuyan sneered, she said lightly to Wukong: "Lord Zhongshu Ling, you can rest assured, with the friendship between us, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." I have already said that I want to borrow money from Li Tang. It's always hard to go back on your word and go back on your word, right? The concept of free trade was still what you told me. So, please don't interfere this time, our demon kingdom's independent choice. After speaking, Zhu Yuyan looked at Wukong seriously, waiting for his concession.
Although the five-point profit is also very high, Zhu Yuyan is really short of money now, and she doesn't want Wukong to control the economic lifeline of the entire demon country.
Therefore, I wish Yuyan this time, I am determined not to let Wukong and make a lot of money.
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Wukong had no choice but to bow his head and smile bitterly, turn his head to Li Shimin and ask, "Are you Li Tang tight on hand? If you are short of money, I can personally lend you 300 million gold." The interest is simple and clear, or borrow one and repay two, what do you think?" After speaking, he looked at Li Shimin with an expectant face.
Hearing his words, Li Shimin really wanted to, and strangled Wukong directly to death.
Li Shimin said in his heart: "How much do you love money? Oh, you don't have a pit Zhu Yuyan, turn your head and treat us Li Tang as Kaizi." Is I, Li Shimin, so easy to deceive? What a bastard who loves money and doesn't use his brains——!" After thinking of this angrily, Li Shimin said calmly.
"This ...... , if Li Tang can't even take out 300 million gold. That will make the world laugh off their big teeth. You can rest assured, Li Tang's treasury is very full, and he can still get 300 million gold. After speaking, Li Shimin silently lowered his head.
Wukong saw that Li Shimin refused to give in, so he sighed and said very regretfully: "Alas...... These days, it's not easy to make some money...... Whoever offers good conditions will trade with whomever it wants, and this is a reasonable and healthy competition. I hope that in the future, the whole world will develop benignly in this kind of reasonable competition. Hahahaha...... Okay, that's a good result, thank you. After saying it very happily, Goku walked forward with a smile.
