Chapter 123 Zhou Kui, You Do All Bad Things
Chapter 123 Zhou Kui, you have done all the bad things!!
"Fan Sanzhen, I am your mother, your money is not real or fake, is it?
Everyone should be careful, it is not impossible for the banker to run away, they might have been ready to run away a long time ago."
"Shopkeeper Fan, get out of the way quickly."
"Fan Sanji, do you think I really don't dare to take action?"
More than a dozen crowded merchants began to attack Fan San's guards. In the mess, one of the guards was pushed unsteadily and leaned against the pile of silver on the cart.
With a clattering sound, the neatly stacked silver ingots were overturned, revealing the wooden blocks inside.
"Hey, I said this must be fake, Fan Sanzhen, pay me back, pay me back!!"
"Fan Sanzhi, you actually dare to lie to me. Do you believe it? I will give His Majesty a piece of advice, and your Fan family will not be able to survive in the capital tomorrow?"
Zhou Kui grabbed a piece of wood and became excited instantly.
Since the Fan family couldn't afford the money, he had more ways to manipulate them.
"That's right, pay back the money! Pay back the money!"
"Manager Fan, if you don't have faith, you won't be established. The most important thing in a bank is faith.
It was agreed in the past that anyone who holds banknotes can redeem the money immediately if it is less than 10,000 taels, and it can be prepared within three days if it is more than 10,000 taels.
Now I want you to exchange ten thousand taels for me today, and you can redeem the rest in two days."
"No money!! Stop arguing, there are only five thousand two hundred taels of silver here, and some ten taels of silver.
It takes more than three days to transport silver taels from various places, and it will take at least half a month to get enough silver taels for you.
Now I only have food, if you want it, take it, the Royal Merchant Company can accept it."
Fan Sanzhao was completely ruined. Now he only regretted why he didn't prepare more cash.
The cash collected by the wealthy people in the entire capital does not exceed fifty million taels at most.
There are more than 200,000 taels of people wanting to exchange money here today.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that according to the person who just sent the message, someone from the Kong family is also trying to squeeze out money.
In other words, several of their banks have to withdraw 1% of the capital's cash within three days.
How is that possible?
"Don't fool me. I've asked before. The Royal Merchant now only gives food coupons when collecting grain, not military coupons.
I can only buy a few cans by getting food coupons for one stone of rice. I am crazy and want to suffer this loss?"
"Shopkeeper Fan, this is your fault. You collected grain and went against the imperial court. How can you have the nerve to say anything?
And you have so much food, do you still expect the court to buy it back?"
"You guys!!! You are so angry, do you really don't want to do business in Shanxi? There are more than just a few people in Shanxi."
Fan Sanzhao finally understood what it means to push down the wall. When someone was trying to make him angry, these people actually came to deal with him collectively.
"Your Shanxi? When did Shanxi become your Fan family's?
I would like to have a good talk with Your Majesty about the great power of the Fan family in Shanxi."
"Shopkeeper Fan, it's meaningless for you to say that. We all help each other in doing business. Are you trying to make an enemy of our Chenji Buzhuang by doing this?"
"Shopkeeper Fan, why can't we travel in Shanxi anymore? Shanxi is dominated by your Fan family?"
A group of people were completely outraged. A businessman thought that he had to take care of each other when doing business. What did he really think of himself?
Fan San pointed at a few people angrily. He didn't know what to say. Suddenly his eyes rolled and he fell forward. However, his posture was to protect himself.
Others saw Fan Sanzhao cheating and had nothing to do. After all, Fan Ji Bank was only a semicolon in the capital.
Just like Fan Sanzhi said, if we break up today, we will really lose money in Shanxi. After all, Fan Sanzhao cannot represent the Fan family, but he is also the face of the Fan family.
"That's all, I'll take five thousand taels with you first. Shopkeeper Fan, you can collect the rest as soon as possible.
Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship, and I will explain it to you properly in front of His Majesty."
Zhou Kui looked kind-hearted and stuffed the five thousand taels of silver notes he had just given into Fan San's clothes on the ground. Fan San's entire mouth twitched.
"Shopkeeper Fan, no matter if you are really dizzy or not, you must have the money ready for us in three days. Otherwise, we will entrust Jiading Bo to file a complaint."
"That's right, that's right. We won't force you today. According to the original agreement, you will come in three days or more. After three days, if you haven't collected enough food, your Fan family will not even think about making any profit along the canal."
Zhou Kui used extremely suggestive words and walked out of Fanji Bank while cursing. Just as he was about to say goodbye to others, he saw a group of people rushing towards him.
"Uncle Jiading, are you also here to exchange money?"
"Mr. Cheng Guo, you came here in such a hurry, eh, so do you?"
The two groups of people stared at each other, and they all understood instantly.
"Okay, this bank is really unreliable. They actually spent all their money to buy grain. It's at least 800,000 shi of grain. What's the use of it?"
"I also asked what's going on. It turns out that several banks in the capital are doing business together? Aren't they using our money to do their business?"
"Uncle Jiading, how much did you exchange?"
"Five thousand taels, if it's more, there will only be some loose stuff left. I haven't done anything."
Inside the door, Fan Sanzhao, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, heard this and wanted to rush out and stab Zhou Kui twice in the chest, screaming while stabbing him.
'Old Zhou Kui, you are a bad person! You accept money but don't do anything! Did you exchange it? It was originally mine!'
"The Kong family is even worse. They only have more than 3,000 taels left. He also said that he would use the food coupons of the royal merchants to buy vouchers and convert them into cash for me. Damn, do I need that little food?"
"There are others. I remember that other banks in the capital also purchased grain."
"The bankers in the south have a lot of food in their hands, but they confiscated it. They are laughing at this time."
Listening to Cheng Guogong's words, everyone understood that this group of Shanxi businessmen had really made a loss in this business.
"Oh, Uncle Jiading, you'd better go discuss it with the Kong family and let them exchange the silver as soon as possible.
If they can't cash it out, they also have a lot of property, remember to keep it first, I've kept all the property deeds of the Kong family in the capital."
In the room, while everyone was out of focus, Fan Sanzhen was getting up slowly and was about to let someone secretly close the door. His body was shaking.
He was completely shocked. Is there anyone more shameless than Jiadingbo?
"Why are you still standing there? Close the door quickly!"
Amidst Fan Sanzhao's shrill voice, the bank guard finally realized what he was doing. He took the door panel and bars and was about to close the door, but it was already too late.
"What? I came to the Fan family first. You are not allowed to enter, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Yes, that's right. Just wait a moment. We haven't left any of the seized items yet. Stop him quickly and don't let Fan Sanzhao escape!"
"Unexpectedly, I didn't think of asking for collateral just now! If Fan Sanzhen really can't pay it out, he can still make a fortune! Oh, wait for me, don't squeeze!"
Hearing Cheng Guogong's show off, a group of people immediately became anxious. Then they heard Fan San's roar and saw the actions of the bank's guards, and they all began to flow into Fan Ji Bank again.
Duke Cheng Guo gave himself a slap in the face, but when he showed off, he accidentally reminded Zhou Kui.
This guy was not led into the ditch by him. Instead, he suddenly thought that since the Kong family was so far away, the nearby Fan family must be raided first.
Fan Sanqiao, who was surrounded by everyone again, was completely panicked at this time. He pretended to be dead for once but it was useless. If he was not really dead this time, everyone present would not give up.
"Shop Manager Fan, you can pay for these 20,000 taels. I won't take advantage of you. If you have the assets worth 20,000 taels, if you have them, give them to me. If you don't, I will take them myself."
"Twenty-two thousand?!!! Uncle Jiading, don't bully others too much."
"Uncle Ben, no, think about it, this banknote is going to be returned to you. If you give me an asset worth twenty thousand taels, but you don't give me the money, do you have to pay if you realize the asset?"
Don’t worry, as long as you give me..."
"Uncle Jiading, isn't that right? We all came together, why should you cash it first?
Shopkeeper Fan, don't listen to him. Just give me fifteen thousand taels of assets for my ten thousand taels. If you redeem me, you only need nine thousand taels in cash."
"Fifteen thousand! You're so skinny, you're so skinny, but the ghost pavilion is down..."
Fan San's angry dialect came out. How could he not see that these people were actually thinking about how to swallow his assets?
As the headquarters of the Fan Family Bank in Beizhili, the capital has a lot of various assets, including the properties and buildings in various prefectures in Beizhili, which can barely be offset by the hundreds of thousands of assets.
But if he really got out, it would be a big deal for the entire Fan family. He wouldn't have to rush back, he could live with his more than 100,000 shi of food.
"He Laosi, and Uncle Jiading, you have really gone too far. Brother Fan, don't worry, I make the decision, and most of the assets are mortgaged. Is this okay?
As long as you from Shanxi send you cash and all your assets are returned to you, I will only collect the vouchers and won’t touch your assets until one month later. Do you think that’s okay?”
Cheng Guogong squeezed in and helped Fan Sanzhuo up while saying this, which made Fan Sanzhuo moved to tears. He was the only one who was reasonable among the group of people.
"I heard that you took a concubine, how about a hundred taels in exchange for the price?"
"You!!! Hiccup..."
Fan Sanzhao said something empty, and he actually fainted under the impact of the continuous words of this group of people.
"Ouch, why are you pretending to be fainted again? This can't be done. Get some water quickly."
After a lot of tossing, it was confirmed that Fan Sanzhao had really fainted, so the group could only give up and discuss coming back the next day and go back individually.
On the way, Zhou Kui, who was riding in a sedan, suddenly discovered that the wealthy businessman who had flirted with him in the morning was actually walking together with the man who had set off the fire.
In his recollection, he suddenly remembered that the person who made the fire was actually the person who sold him the banknotes at half the price. This person used the banknotes to rob him of a lot of small cash.
When several Jinyi guards appeared in the corner, Zhou Kui suddenly felt a chill blowing over him, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Jin Yiwei seemed to have something. One of them pointed in his direction, and he saw these partners all giving him a strange smile.
"Go quickly, go quickly..."
Zhou Kui instantly closed the curtain and shouted loudly. He now understood it completely and felt scared at the same time.
"Your Majesty is Your Majesty!"
On this day, several of the most ruthless grain-buying banks in the capital were wiped out. A group of losers gathered at Kongji Bank.
Chapter completed!
