After putting away the handkerchief, Fang Jinglan stretched out her hand again to signal.
"OK."
Lin Xu nodded and sat down.
Although today was the first time he met Fang Jinglan, Fang Jinglan's polite attitude left a good impression on Lin Xu. Therefore, seeing Fang Jinglan's terminally ill appearance, he couldn't help but feel very sorry and wanted to help him, so he
He asked: "Mr. Fang, how long have you had this cough symptom?"
"I've had this illness for many years, at least four or five years ago."
"Have you always been treated by taking decoctions and medicine?"
After Lin Xu said these words, he felt that the question was unnecessary. In this era, apart from taking decoction and medicine, there are no other ways to treat diseases!
"Yeah, I've been taking a lot of soup and medicine in the past few years, and it's almost like a medicine jar, haha..."
Fang Jinglan smiled self-deprecatingly and changed the topic directly: "Excuse me, sir, what big business do you want to discuss?"
Lin Xu could tell that Fang Jinglan didn't want to talk about her illness. If that's the case, let's find an opportunity to talk about it again in the future!
"I want to borrow a sum of money from your account, and at the same time, I also want to use your account's reputation as an endorsement."
Lin Xu thought that he and Fang Jinglan had no friendship. If he came up and asked others to use his reputation as an endorsement, he would be embarrassed to say it, and they might not agree.
In addition, because he spent too much money during this period, he really couldn't get together the 100,000 taels of silver as a down payment to Song Changji. Therefore, he planned to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from Bao Yifeng first, and then offered to let Bao Yi
If Feng endorses it, it will be a matter of course.
"Excuse me, sir, how much money do you want to borrow? And what do you want our Bao Yifeng to endorse for?"
"Let's talk about borrowing money first. I want to borrow 100,000 taels of cash from your account. I can get it within two days and repay it with interest after one year!"
"One hundred thousand taels of cash? This is not a small amount of money!"
"It is indeed not a small sum, but there is no way. I have spent too much money recently and my money is really tight, so I have to ask your account for help! Of course, I have collateral."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Sir, you're welcome! Although one hundred thousand taels of cash is not a small amount, we, Bao Yifeng, can still get it. However, we, Bao Yifeng, need to understand the purpose of the silver we release...
..So, please excuse me, Sir, could you tell me what the purpose of borrowing such a large sum of money is?"
Fang Jinglan tried her best to speak in a tone that would prevent Lin Xu from being offended.
In fact, Lin Xu didn't feel offended at all, because in his opinion, it was normal for Fang Jinglan to ask about the use of the money. This was the same as the previous bank's need to make an investigation report before lending money.
"I borrowed such a sum of money mainly to buy food."
"Are all these one hundred thousand taels of silver used to buy food?"
"Yes! There are too many people in our village, and more and more disaster victims are pouring into our village. In addition, after the flood, the price of food has increased sharply. This one hundred thousand taels of silver may not be enough.
Use it! When the time comes, maybe I will ask your account for help."
After hearing Lin Xu's words, Fang Jinglan couldn't help but have a look of admiration on her face. She cupped her hands and said, "I have long heard that Mr. Lin is a great philanthropist. Last winter, he generously spent tens of thousands of taels of silver.
, to buy grain and provide relief to the victims! Now, Jiangsu has been hit by another disaster, and my husband has once again bought grain to provide relief, even at the expense of borrowing money from banks! Such righteousness really makes me admire you!"
After saying that, Fang Jinglan stood up and saluted Lin Xu solemnly: "Please accept my bow!"
"Mr. Fang, you're welcome!"
Lin Xu quickly stood up and returned the salute.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely raise enough money within two days! In addition, I won't charge interest on this money. It can be regarded as my dedication to the victims!"
Fang Jinglan said solemnly! This chapter has been completed!
