"Since sir and Linglong have made peace, I won't ask any more questions. I still have the same problem. Disaster relief is a big project. Sir, do you have enough money?"
Zhu Chen said: "Huimin Loan is like a gate. Once the gate is opened, money will flow out like running water. When the time comes, you won't be able to close it!"
"I will not launch loans all over Sichuan and Sichuan at once. Instead, I will first use the hardest-hit areas around Xichuan as a pilot project. If it is feasible, I will promote it on a large scale. If it is not feasible, I will temporarily stop it."
Jin Feng said: "Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess captured a group of powerful people today. They have a deep background and the total amount of food they obtained is much more than us. They should be able to sustain it."
This is also the confidence that Jinfeng dares to start benefiting loans.
"Your Highness arrested the powerful people who were hoarding food? How many were arrested?"
Mother Zhu, Chen, and Ruan Tongjie were both shocked.
The three of them are all high-level core figures of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce in Xichuan City, and they have long known about the grain hoarding by the powerful.
It's just that the Ninth Princess' arrest of powerful people was done in Qing Mansion, and it has not spread widely yet.
The three of them learned that Jin Feng had come to Xichuan City, so they had been waiting at the Chamber of Commerce without knowing the news.
"Caught them all from top to bottom, including those white gloves who helped them control the bandits." Jin Feng replied.
"Great, these bastards finally have someone to deal with them!"
Ruan Tongjie went out of the city for business a few days ago and saw the miserable situation outside the city. She was quite disdainful of the powerful people's behavior of secretly raising food prices.
"The power behind these people is not small. If the Ninth Princess catches them, they may not be able to get food."
Zhu Chenshi is not as optimistic as Ruan Tongjie.
She is older, has experienced more things, has considered things more carefully, and knows what the forces behind the powerful represent.
"Mistress, you may not know that the body of a powerful man has been hung at the North City Gate," Jin Feng said.
"Is Your Highness the Princess really cruel this time and breaking up with the powerful?"
Mrs. Zhu Chen's eyes widened.
"It's now a time like this. It's no longer possible without breaking up. If this drags on any longer, I don't know how many people in Sichuan and Shu will die!"
"By doing this, the ninth princess will offend too many powerful people. Can she withstand the pressure from the capital?"
"Don't worry about the capital side for now. We'll talk about it after we finish the disaster relief."
Although Jin Feng didn't understand the court, he also knew what it meant to kill so many dignitaries at once and rob them of their food.
But he can't control that much anymore.
Otherwise, by the time the Ninth Princess's quarrel with the dignitaries ends, everyone will starve to death.
In this current situation, we must cut through the mess quickly.
The dignitaries and their minions who controlled the food all fell into the hands of Qing Xinyao. Jin Feng believed that the Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao would be able to knock out all their food without leaving any grain.
These grains will then be handed over to Jin Feng, who will allocate them for disaster relief.
"Sir, you and Your Highness the Princess are really... really..."
Zhu Chen didn’t even know how to evaluate Jin Feng and Ninth Princess.
The two people's approach was too bold, and they had no regard for the unspoken rules among the powerful.
After this incident, they will definitely be squeezed out by all the powerful people.
"You have to take such a big risk and put all your belongings into it. If the people don't return the food to you, you may not even be able to recover your principal, let alone make money!"
Ruan Tongjie also came back to her senses and felt that it was not worth it for Jin Feng: "What are you trying to do?"
"Just for peace of mind," Jin Feng said: "If the money is gone, we can still make more money. If the people are gone, it will be too late to regret it."
"Sir, sometimes you can't think too well of people. Just because you are kind does not mean that everyone is kind."
Zhu Chen reminded: "The most untestable thing in the world is the human heart. You and Your Highness the Princess have pity on the people and are willing to lend them money and food. However, once the Huimin loan is opened, not just one or two families will come to you to borrow food.
But tens of millions of people.
At that time, if someone takes the lead and refuses to pay back, it will be easy for many people to follow suit. Can you still go to each house to collect the debt?"
"My mother's concern is very reasonable. This is what I think about this situation."
Jin Feng said: "First of all, most of the food I give to the people is considered wages. It is just an advance payment to them. I will not give a lot each time. Even if someone runs away with the food, the loss will not be great.
And now, if they run away from me, where can they go?"
"This is a way. If you can make a living by working, I believe no one is willing to drag their family and leave their hometown for a little food."
Mrs. Zhu Chen then nodded: "But from a business perspective, I still think this is too impulsive and not profitable..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm not questioning your decision. I'm just used to doing business and my ideas are tacky. Don't be angry."
"Honey, you are thinking about me, how could I be angry? Not only am I not angry, I am extremely grateful to have brought you back from Jiangnan!"
Jin Feng said sincerely: "A family with an old man is like a treasure! You are right, a business without profit will not last long! I am a rather idealistic person and not very good at doing business. If you feel that I have done something wrong in the future, just tell me
Come to me directly and I will definitely consider your opinion seriously!"
After saying that, he turned to Da Liu and said: "From now on, when I come to see you, I cannot stop you."
Jin Feng was not just showing off, but he wanted to recruit Zhu Chen from the bottom of his heart.
He is a man of science and engineering. He has been able to reach this stage purely by relying on technology and making products that are ahead of this era.
With the butterfly effect brought about by his appearance, Dakang's industry will definitely develop rapidly, and his advantages will become smaller and smaller.
Although Tang Xiaobei is better than him in business, he is still too young and often does not think well.
And Zhu Chen just made up for this shortcoming.
He has rich experience, is calm, and has the desire to prove his ability. He dares to raise objections when encountering problems and does not blindly please.
Although he claims to be old, he is actually not very old. He is in the prime of life.
From all aspects, he is a talent worth recruiting.
Just shouting slogans is not enough to recruit someone, you must also have real benefits.
After explaining to Da Liu, Jin Feng looked at Ruan Tongjie again.
"Go back and find out who owns the Zhu family's old house, and find a way to buy it and return it to me."
"The Zhu family's old residence is in the hands of the Mo family. I will arrange for someone to negotiate with the Mo family later."
Ruan Tongjie nodded quickly.
"Thank you sir!"
When Zhu Chen heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. As she spoke, she wanted to pull Zhu Linglong to kneel down to Jin Feng, but Jin Feng held her back.
Mrs. Zhu Chen is indeed a very enterprising woman and capable.
At the beginning, she was basically managing the business of Zhu's Restaurant behind the scenes.
It's just that she was born at the wrong time, in this world where men are superior to women, so she can only stay behind the scenes, and her opinions are sometimes vetoed by her husband.
It wasn't until she met Jin Feng, who asked her to build a teahouse, that she felt she had finally found a place to display her talents.
