Chapter 147: Misfortune and fortune depend on each other

At the back door of Yuanqi Guangzhou Branch, Yi Zhizu left slowly with a gift. Liang Jiemin turned around and turned back to the yard, thinking in his heart why Yi Zhizu was so interested in the silk reeling industry in Shunde. He went to Shunde for on-site inspection, trying to vigorously support the silk reeling industry? This seems unreasonable. Shunde silk reeling industry is already very prosperous, and low-interest loans are the greatest support.

It’s not support, is it because he wants to monopolize the silk reeling industry? As soon as this idea comes out, he becomes more and more likely. You should know that Yi Zhizu is now the boss of Yuanqi, what he is concerned about is definitely not a trivial matter. Yuanqi can monopolize the money-making business in Shunde, and it is not difficult to monopolize the silk reeling industry in Shunde.

Wire reeling is the most important link in the entire silk weaving process. Monopolizing the silk reeling industry is equivalent to monopolizing the entire silk weaving industry and monopolizing the entire Shunde silk weaving industry? Thinking of this, Liang Jiemin himself was also shocked.

"Report to the chief shopkeeper." A friend quickly came up to report: "He Shutai, the king was waiting outside for a long time."

Liang Jiemin frowned. The two of them came to the door to ask for a meeting now, just to ask him to help inquire or to plead with Yi Zhizu on his behalf. He said without hesitation: "No." But after a change of thought, he changed his words: "Bring them in."

After the two of them entered the room and greeted each other with respect, He Shutai said with shame: "I regret not not listening to my cousin's words. Now I am trapped in the tea market and unable to extricate myself..."

Liang Jiemin gave up his seat with his hands and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk slowly." After the two of them sat down, he continued to ask, "How much money have you invested in the tea market?"

Wang Chaoyi rushed to say, "My nephew is determined to recover the losses, and is too eager to encourage Zi'an to borrow money from the account. A group of silk merchants in Longshan and Longjiang successively invested silver in the tea market, totaling more than 8.5 million taels."

Leave a loan from the account? Liang Jiemin asked calmly: "How much did you borrow from the account?"

"Two times before and after, a total of five million."

Five million! Liang Jiemin thought to himself that it is easy to save trouble now. The pawn shop and seal office have just taken the pot. There is no need to worry about the loss of silver from other provinces. He has to make suggestions to Yizhizu and find ways to deduct the money.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, He Shutai said carefully: "Now more than 300,000 dan of tea is smashed into his hands and cannot be sold. My nephew is brave enough to pray for his cousin to mediate..."

"I have warned you not to get involved in the tea market. I was caught at the beginning and also reminded you to evacuate the tea market decisively if you lose hundreds of thousands or one hundred million..." Liang Jiemin sighed and said, "What should I do now? Do you still expect the meat you eat into your mouth to spit it out?"

"I don't dare." He Shutai said quickly: "I don't dare to ask for it now. I just hope to repay the five million loan from the account."

"Five million?" Liang Jiemin glanced at him and said, "Isn't this a saying that I dare not ask for anything?"

Wang Chaoyi hurriedly said, "The tea price fell again, and twenty taels per tumble is still worth it. We have 320,000 tons of tea on hand, and we only want to pay for 5 million yuan. If the tea price is reduced to sixteen taels per tumble... Thirteenth Street will not be able to acquire such a large amount of tea at such a low price in the tea market."

"Don't!" Liang Jiemin yelled softly: "It's Yuanqi who dominates the tea market, not the Thirteenth Front. Yuanqi would rather buy tea in the tea market at a high price of twenty-six than buy the tea in your hands at a high price of sixteen. Do you understand? Yuanqi's purchase of tea in the tea market at a high price of ten thousand can reduce the losses of tea merchants and help the money houses, which are now many of Yuanqi's owners, recover the loans to the greatest extent!

You are speculating on the tea market and making money in the tea market. If you grab Yuanqi's money, Yuanqi will finally trap you to death in the tea market. Do you think Yuanqi can let you go easily? Yuanqi, Thirteen Frontiers, Tea Industry Guild, are now staring at you with red eyes, and you still expect to get five million yuan back?"

"Five million is the minimum requirement." Wang Chaoyi said in a deep voice: "If you cannot repay the loans in the account, all silk merchants will lose their money. Since that is the case, we are not afraid of breaking the situation."

Liang Jiemin didn't want to get into this muddy water at all. He just wanted to conceal the other party's bottom line and suppress it. Naturally, he would not force it too much. After pondering for a moment, he said: "This matter is too big and I can't mediate it. However, I can lead you to the Yuanqi General Office. As for whether the shopkeeper Yi Da is willing to see you, I can't guarantee it."

He Shutai, Wang Chaoyi’s most feared thing now is that Yi Zhizuo didn’t see them and didn’t even give them a chance to negotiate. Can the tea in their hands be sold at a low price? Of course, it can’t be sold at the moment. Not to mention now, it’s probably impossible this year. However, they can’t bear the interest of the account. If they can recover five million and pay off the account loan, they still have more than one million taels left in their hands, which can at least protect most silk merchants from losing their bankruptcy.

Therefore, both of them were very happy when they heard this. Liang Jiemin was the shopkeeper of Yuanqi Guangzhou after all. With him, he was able to lead the needle and lead the needle. Yixiu would not give him any face. He Shutai hurriedly bowed and said, "Cousin is very kind and kind, but my nephew is unforgettable."

Xirong Lane, Yuanqi General Number.

As soon as Yi Zhizu entered Rongyuan, Yan Shikuan quickly caught up from behind. After he decided to go to Shanghai, he had been familiar with the money shop business in the general account with Kong Jian'an during this period. After catching up, he followed him and said step by step: "Third brother, my father has allowed my younger sister to go to Shanghai with me."

Yi Zhizu was happy to hear that, and then he realized something was wrong. Yan Qichang was so easy to talk to. He stopped and turned around and said, "You shouldn't tell Lingzun, this is what I mean, right?"

Yan Shikuan blinked his little eyes and said, "If you don't say that, how will your father agree?"

Yi Zhizu was speechless for a moment and quickly walked into the study. Yan Shikuan followed him in and said, "When will the third brother go to Shanghai? My younger sister is not young anymore."

"Who is not young anymore? My younger sister is only sixteen years old." Yi Zhizu said angrily: "Do you know that the best age for a woman to have a child is 24 to 29?"

Yan Shikuan was stunned when he heard this and hesitated a little, then he said with a grievance: "Does the third brother say he will go to Shanghai in seven or eight years?"

Seeing his pitiful look, Yi Zhizu couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you heard that Qichang Foreign Company has a Clipper that specializes in transporting crows. It only takes six or seven days to arrive in Shanghai. I have ordered two Clippers from them, and it will be very convenient to travel in the future."

Ordered two Clippers? Yan Shikuan's eyes lit up and said happily: "One of them is for me?"

This guy's face is getting thicker and thicker. Yi is content with his laziness and is trying to drive him away, but Li Wang reported outside: "Young Master, the shopkeeper Liang of Guangzhou Branch is here."

Didn’t he just met, why did Liang Jiemin come again? Yi Zhizu was a little puzzled and quickly ordered: "Please come in." Yan Shikuan was very tactful and hurriedly left.

After Liang Jiemin came in to see Li and sat down, he explained in detail the meeting with He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi, and then said: "It has been long since heard that many pawn shops and seal offices are interested in transferring money from other provinces. Now it is a rare opportunity."

Yi Zhizu nodded, thought for a while before saying, "Tell them, stay in Guangzhou for a while, and when I come back from Shunde, I will talk to them in detail. In addition, I will tell them one more thing, the disaster is the basis of good fortune, and the losses of the tea market will be doubled."

After hearing this, Liang Jiemin was stunned, hesitated for a while before saying, "Does the shopkeeper take this seriously?"
