Bai Wu lowered his voice and said: "Brother, we work hard for my second uncle, but my second uncle is a little unkind."
"The money given to us is too little. Of course, if I earn less, I don't have any objections."
"What's too much is that more than 90% of the money earned by my second uncle has been given to the Ghost Pavilion, and we can't even earn 10%. I'm not happy about this."
Bai Changkong was startled when he heard this.
"What did you say? More than 90% of our Bai family's money was given to Ghost Pavilion?"
"How is this possible? I remember that the Ghost Pavilion only took 30% of the money earned by the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
"Before, when my father did business, he only gave 30% to Ghost Pavilion."
Bai Wu sighed helplessly, poured a glass of wine and toasted Bai Changkong.
"Brother, since my father died, my second uncle is now in charge of the entire Bai family."
"Now, my second uncle has also inherited a hereditary title and obtained everything from the Bai family. No matter whether my second uncle is doing business or doing other things, all the money he makes will not go to us brothers."
"What puzzles me the most is that we and my second uncle worked hard to make money, but in the end we made wedding clothes for the Ghost Pavilion!"
Bai Wulian drank a few sips of wine, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.
When Bai Changkong heard the news, his heart was very complicated.
Their father Bai Chuan is the patriarch of the Bai family.
It stands to reason that after his father's death, according to the right of inheritance, Bai Changkong, as the eldest brother, is the young master of the Bai family. It is right that he should become the head of the family now.
As for the hereditary title of the Bai family, it should be Bai Changkong, and Bai Yongliang could not get it.
Now, Bai Yongliang has inherited the title.
Although he has not explicitly acknowledged that he is the head of the Bai family, everyone in the Bai family now obeys Bai Yongliang. From the perspective of outsiders, Bai Yongliang also represents the Bai family.
The status of the two brothers in the Bai family is getting less and less valued, and sometimes they feel that it is not as high as the status of the Bai family's housekeeper Li Fu.
Bai Yongliang was doing business outside, and all the accounts and a lot of business were left to Li Fu to take care of.
Bai Changkong and Bai Wu have never been allowed to touch money.
The two were not allowed to do business. In the past two days, Bai Yongliang even wanted Bai Changkong and Bai Wu to return to the border and continue to be their generals.
They said they didn't need to worry about things here.
The two brothers talked and talked about all these things, and the more they talked, the more uncomfortable they felt.
They felt that they were eliminated by Bai Yongliang.
Bai Yongliang gave them one million taels of silver, as if to send them away and let them leave.
Brother, the more you think about it, the more angry you become.
Bai Wu said: "Brother, I don't want to be such a coward anymore."
"I don't want to go to Border Pass to be a general. In the bitter cold land of Border Pass, where can I stay comfortably in the imperial capital?"
"I also want to do business, I also want to have a lot of money to spend, and I also want to have supreme glory and fame!"
Bai Changkong was also very unhappy. He took a few sips of wine and said, "Yes, we two brothers have been at the border for these years, obeying the arrangements of our father and second uncle."
"But what did the two of us get in the end? Everyone knows that the two of us are border generals, that's all."
"Second Uncle is here. He gets the wind when he wants, and the rain gets when he wants. I also want to be like Second Uncle, calling the wind and rain in the Great Yan Empire!"
Both brothers thought that Bai Yongliang was deliberately neglecting them!
They are only allowed to do some odd jobs and cannot get in touch with the real core of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Two people were very angry!
Bai Wu said again: "Brother, to be honest, I have looked for my second uncle before."
"I originally wanted to ask him for a large sum of money to invest in business, but my second uncle refused."
"Second uncle said that we brothers were not good at business and scolded me. Thinking of this, I became very angry."
Bai Changkong was also very angry and said: "In this case, let's get some money ourselves, and then get some tricks up our sleeves, and let my second uncle take a look."
"But I don't have much money now. Second brother, please take out your five hundred thousand taels and let us two brothers do some business."
At this time, Bai Wu said with a guilty look on his face: "Brother, to be honest, my five hundred thousand taels have been spent."
"It's just that I have no money, so I came to see my eldest brother tonight, hoping to find some way to make a fortune."
Bai Changkong was surprised and said: "Second brother, you said you have spent all the five hundred thousand taels of silver? How did you spend it? Can you spend five hundred thousand taels a month?"
Suddenly Bai Changkong thought of something.
"Did you gamble with it? Did you lose all the money?"
Bai Wu nodded with some shame, and then said: "Brother, where is your money? Is your money gone too?"
Bai Changkong was very helpless, and he drank a few sips of wine.
These two brothers are addicted to gambling.
When they were generals at the border, they ate, drank, whored and gambled, and were proficient in everything.
When they have money on hand, they go to gambling places to play. They win a lot every time and rarely lose money.
After the two brothers returned to the imperial capital, they went to the gambling house for a walk when they had nothing to do. But the strange thing was that they often lost money and rarely won.
Last month, Bai Yongliang gave them two five hundred thousand taels of silver. Suddenly they had so much money, they wanted to take revenge, go back to the gambling house where they lost before, and gamble again to win back everything they lost before.
.
But after ten days and a half, both of them gambled more and more, and finally lost all their money.
The two brothers did not gamble together. They went to different gambling houses and did not want others to know, let alone Bai Yongliang.
As a result, now that they were talking, not only did they lose all their money, but Bai Wu also owed a lot of debt.
The main reason why Bai Wu came to Bai Changkong tonight to discuss making a fortune was that he had no money to repay his debts.
What the two brothers didn't know was that they were generals at the border.
They went to a gambling house to play. How dare the boss offend these generals?
I must have been letting loose a lot of the time, allowing the two brothers to have fun and win some money.
But it's different when you return to the Imperial Capital. Those who open hospitals and gambling houses in the Imperial Capital are all bosses behind the scenes.
There is no telling if there will be other court officials who will buy shares later and secretly support it.
No matter what your status is, you are willing to admit defeat and give money if you lose!
Besides, the two brothers didn't want others to know about their gambling, so they didn't dare to tell their identities or that they were related to the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
They don't want to discredit Tongtian Chamber of Commerce because of losing money.
Although the two of them were very dissatisfied with their second uncle, they never thought of betrayal.
Now the two brothers are very short of money and just want to make money.
For a gambler, after losing a bet, he wants to gamble again and win his money back.
The more you lose, the more you want to gamble, and the more you gamble, the more you lose. This is an endless cycle.
Bai Changkong lowered his voice and asked: "Second brother, didn't you say you would help me make a fortune? Is there any way?"
Bai Wu had already made a plan and said: "Brother, we lost all our banknotes before, but we can print some banknotes ourselves, so that we can hold the banknotes and continue playing!"
This was Bai Wu's real purpose of meeting Bai Changkong for a drink tonight.
He must find a way to drag his eldest brother into the water and follow his lead.
