Chapter 16 Disputes(2/2)
"dont you agree?"
The shopkeeper of the Qiao family said:
"That's right!"
Fang Linyan said:
"Then what do you mean by telling him the details of our transaction?"
The man Fang Linyan mentioned was obviously Hu Xueming.
The shopkeeper of the Qiao family said disdainfully:
"This is none other than the seventh uncle of your Hu family! He knows that you have a loose and dissolute personality, so he has been paying attention to you and asked me to help keep an eye on your movements. The money you use is the hard-earned money of your Hu family. I will
Is there anything wrong with telling him this?"
"Youdao is the master of heaven and earth. There is no better relationship in the world than this. Can't you let your relatives and superiors know what you are doing? What you are doing is nothing more than the truth of a saint."
After everyone heard this, they felt that what the shopkeeper said really made sense.
But at this time, Fang Linyan laughed loudly, and then said to the big shopkeeper:
"I think the shopkeeper may have made a mistake. I didn't buy these goods! I just acted as an interpreter and go-between. The owner of these goods is Mr. Laurent from Europe!"
The big shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and then he saw Laurent walking in from the outside. At this time, Fang Linyan said sharply:
"What else is there to say! You Shanxi Qiao family are really shameless. Under the guise of being loyal, you are selling client secrets behind your back! You have lost all your shame in front of foreigners. State-owned and national laws,
There are rules in the industry, what should we say about this today?"
The Qiao family in Shanxi has a huge business and a very famous reputation, so it will definitely attract the hatred of many people because of its big tree. Some of these people are jealous, and some are because they are blocked by the Qiao family. They are enemies in the same industry.
Now Fang Linyan was afraid that this matter would not cause a big fuss, so he had already started shouting. Among the onlookers, there was also excitement and no matter how big the matter was, seven or eight out of ten people were supporting him.
If we are ordinary people, the Qiao family's business is so big and the officialdom is well managed. There is a green battalion stationed outside Chongwen Gate. The guards here should come out to be evil and directly give Fang Linyan a "pick a fight."
He was arrested on the charge of "provoking trouble" and settled the matter first.
Today's defense was rewarded by his subordinates, who immediately came out aggressively. The reason for being so active was to do something for the Qiao family, and the gifts he received after that would definitely be quite large.
As a result, when they were thirty steps away, a blond foreigner was involved. He immediately frowned, turned around and walked away, as if he had seen a ghost.
When his subordinates asked him why he turned around, he immediately kicked him over and cursed:
"These days, when it comes to things involving foreigners, even the late emperor's grandfather didn't do well. He went to Chengde with oil on his feet, his concubine (Chang Concubine) was raped, and even the Old Summer Palace was burned down. For the sake of the Qiao family,
Two pieces of silver, grandpa, can I take such a risk?"
The big shopkeeper saw that more and more people were surrounding him, but the "reinforcements" from Green Camp were still not coming. He panicked and hurriedly called the boy next to him to rush him, but where could he come? At the moment, he could only complain to Hu Xueming.
:
"Hu Weng, this is something your family did!"
Hu Xueming was also a little dumbfounded at this time. He did not expect that his nephew would eventually blame the foreigner for this matter. After much deliberation, he did not dare to get involved with this matter. He could only drag Fang Linyan and curse:
"Damn it! Where's the money given to you by the clan? If you don't take it out quickly, will it all be lost in food, drink, prostitution and gambling?"
Who is Fang Linyan? If he was suddenly attacked, he would probably hesitate for a few seconds. But now when facing this old man, he smiled and said:
"Uncle Qi, please don't slander me. I lent all my money to Mr. Laurent, and I will get a 10% profit for thirty days. Can I be called a prodigal?"
The profit of 10% for thirty days, converted into an annual interest rate, even reaches a terrifying 120%. If you borrow 10,000 taels, you will have to pay back 22,000 taels. Most of the people present are businessmen. A simple calculation seems to be
A good deal.
This Hu Xueming is not a clever and clever person. Otherwise, Hu Xueyan was hidden as the richest man in the world back then. To put it bluntly, under such a general trend, it is not just talk for one person to achieve the goal of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. However, Hu Xueming only became a local squire.
It can be seen that his abilities and character are really limited.
