One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter conscience, rich businessman, good man, rich man
The wine was good, the food was good, and the beauty who accompanied me was also of good quality.
Qin Dewei ate and drank to replenish his nutrition, and occasionally commented on the dishes with the beauty around him. He didn't care about what others were talking about, and had no intention of joining the atmosphere. He was outstanding.
Everyone else at the banquet looked at Qin Dewei who was eating and drinking, and they were speechless. Now that you, Qin Dewei, are the only representative of the county government for the time being, if you don't answer anything, wouldn't it become someone else's one-man show?
The main intermediary, Mr. Luo, had no choice but to come forward again and said: "Brother Qin, is there some misunderstanding between you and Qian Ye Office?"
Qin Dewei pointed to the opposite side: "Old sir, why don't you ask Mr. Jiao, who reached out first?"
Mr. Luo gave Mr. Jiao a wink. Now that I have brought the topic to you, the rest depends on what you say.
Manager Jiao snorted coldly: "Although the Qian Industry Association wants Yuan Feng to hand over the Jiangning County tax business, although the Qian Industry Association is disrespectful to Yuan Feng's owner, although the Qian Industry Association does not accept Yuan Feng to join,
.
But they are all in the realm of business. As the saying goes, business cannot be done without humaneness and righteousness, and negotiation cannot be accomplished. After all, it is still a matter of business!
And what kind of evil deeds does Mr. Qin do by sealing the door in the name of the county government?"
Mr. Luo really wanted to throw the cup and leave, leaving this stall alone! What kind of words did Jiao Deqiu say? Even if the governor came, he would not be able to speak like this to the county government!
Do you, Jiao Deqiu, really think that you can look down on the county government from a high position? Who gave you the illusion? Is it the officials who came to you to borrow money, or the people who begged you to give them a few more cents of profit?
Qin Dewei made a dumbfounded expression, turned to the beauty next to him and said: "This is the first time I have heard that someone who bullies the market and bullies his peers is so fresh and refined."
After listening to what Mr. Qin Xiao said, Yu Meiren was also in a dilemma. Mr. Jiao was a big benefactor, and half of his family income came from the work provided by Mr. Jiao, so it was not easy to offend him;
And Qin Dewei is the one accompanying him tonight, and he must respond to his words. This is also professional ethics.
Yu Meiren could only try her best to find an angle that Mr. Jiao couldn't see clearly. She bent down deeply and raised her hands high to pour wine for Qin Dewei. Then she covered it with her sleeves and smiled at Qin Dewei in response.
Qin Dewei continued to talk to Yu Meiren: "I remember seeing a case in the county government last year. The criminal was a vicious thief who broke into the house with the most malicious intent and killed people. He said a few words plausibly in front of the county magistrate. I still remember it fresh.
.
He said, although I committed robbery, murder and arson, I knew that I was still a man with a pure and good nature. Why did the government want to arrest me? These words are similar to those of Mr. Jiao!"
It was a bit cold, Qin Dewei sighed. He should have brought Wang Ma Zhang Zhao up earlier, stood behind him and didn't care about anything else, just cheered and laughed at the right time.
Yu Meiren is about to cry. Mr. Jiao, you should say these words to Mr. Jiao himself, or to others during the dinner! She is just a humble female artist, and you really can't bear these words.
Qin Dewei said matter-of-factly: "I'm not familiar with them! I might as well talk to you!"
The middleman, Mr. Luo, started to drink wine. He didn't know how to smooth things over.
But Hu Shilang, who had not spoken much until now, suddenly said: "It's outrageous! Is this how your lower-level yamen act? I think this is an abuse of public power, violence and lawlessness, hindering the operation of the club, and destroying the peace and contentment of the common people in the territory!"
Qin Dewei bent down slightly to show respect for the Nanjing Hubu Hall official, and then replied with a hidden needle in his hand: "I would like to ask you to be clear. Although the county government has sealed the gate of Qianye Office and the gate of Guan Zhongdian, the side door and the back door have not been sealed.
.
Therefore, others can still come in and out of the office, and some people are not in the way, so why hinder the business? I hope the boss can understand the truth first, and then give instructions."
Manager Jiao couldn't help but followed the accusation and said: "Is it possible that Qianye Office just let you seal the door with a seal, where is the face?"
Qin Dewei said sarcastically: "What kind of face do you want?" He then said to Minister Hu: "How dare you ask the boss to comment? Is the face of the Qianye Office more important than the face of the county government?"
Hu Shilang ignored Qin Dewei's teasing and shouted with a straight face: "Although your county government is a temporary government, it is too much to wantonly humiliate the merchants under your rule!
Did you know that Jiao Gongshi was good at charity, helping those in need and those in need, and he always had a reputation as a good person?
There is no need to mention the trivial matters in daily life. During the floods a few years ago, the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs raised funds for disaster relief in various ways. Among the merchants, it was Mr. Jiao who took the lead in donating money. Even the Chief Situ at the time praised him as a conscientious wealthy businessman!
I don't use force to suppress others, I just ask based on justice, is this how your county government treats conscientious wealthy businessmen and good people? Does your county government have any thoughts of praising justice and promoting good deeds?"
Da Situ is the elegant title of the Minister of Hubu, and in the same way, Shao Situ is the Minister of Hubu.
From the beginning of tonight to now, Mr. Jiao finally had a smile on his face. He waved his hands and said: "It's too much! It's too much! You can't deserve it! Even this little face is useless in the county government, and today's young people don't do it either."
When it comes to virtue, it’s okay not to mention such a good name!”
The aggressive questioning and strong moral oppression of the third-rank Nanjing household minister Zuo Shilang were extraordinary. No one else interrupted, they only watched Qin Dewei's reaction.
Qin Dewei frowned and suddenly asked: "Is the great Situ who praised Manager Jiao as a conscientious wealthy businessman still in office now?"
Everyone almost cursed together, what kind of unpredictable reaction was this horse-riding guy doing? Isn't it too out of tune?
Hu Shilang sneered and said: "Even if you have resigned and become an official, so what?"
Qin Dewei was obviously relieved: "Then I can rest assured."
No one understands the meaning of this sentence, so what do you worry about?
Qin Dewei responded to Minister Hu: "We, Master Feng of Jiangning County, and I are willing to come here today because of the honor of Lord Sima Junchuan, otherwise we wouldn't be here at all!
But I see that Sir, you seem to be deliberately favoring the Qianye Office and derogating Jiangning County. Isn’t it too disrespectful to Mr. Junchuan?"
What Qin Dewei means is that we people from Jiangning County are willing to come and listen to you because they have to come because Wang Tingxiang, the Minister of War, has said hello. And if you treat the people in Jiangning County like this, are you not giving Wang Shangshu a favor?
But to other people's ears, I just think this is a bit low-end. What's the difference between a street gang and a gangster who reported it to the backstage?
Hu Shilang replied: "I all act based on my heart and justice. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Wang Sima must be able to understand!
You don’t need to carry Wang Sima, I’m just saying a few words to you in private today, if it comes time to issue an explicit order, I’m afraid you won’t be able to take it!”
Mr. Luo felt that he could smooth things over again, so he took the opportunity to enter the room and said: "Why do you need to fight with your will? It has no benefit and is just a waste of energy!"
Qin Dewei let out a long sigh and said, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to catch it, but I'm afraid that Young Situ, who openly supports Qian Ye Office, won't be able to catch it."
Hu Shilang felt that he had been insulted. How dare a teenage boy compare himself to him?
He angrily said: "You are a small magistrate and county official, how dare you openly resist me? Why can't I really do anything to you?"
Qin Dewei didn't take it seriously in the face of Thunder's anger, and calmly shouted to the servant next to him: "Go down below and find a government servant named Wang and ask for some documents! Let's see if Young Sima dares to take it.
!”
The handyman obeyed the order and went down. After a while, he came back up again with a few more pages in his hand.
Qin Dewei stood up and shouted: "Fat! Young Sima, Manager Jiao, and Mr. Luo each have a share, and the others can't watch!"
The three of them took the document and looked at it for a few times, and their expressions all changed drastically. Manager Jiao, who had smiled just now, suddenly returned to his freezing look.
Qin Dewei said to himself: "I have always been surprised. Banks, money shops, pawn shops, and other businesses all do nothing more than exchange money in small amounts, save money for invoicing, and lend money to earn interest. How can you make a fortune like Mr. Jiao?
According to our Ming Dynasty regulations, the annual profit is not allowed to exceed three points. If we calculate it based on three points of profit, and then deduct the irrecoverable bad debts and losses, how can we be as rich as Mr. Jiao?
To be honest with you, Yuanfeng Bank also has some shares in me, but I have always wondered why Yuanfeng Bank can't make big money?"
Manager Jiao's face became increasingly ugly, but others who had not seen the page were at a loss. What happened? Why did Qin Dewei talk about this profit issue so well?
Then I heard Qin Dewei say: "It wasn't until I asked to check the gambling house last year that I suddenly realized it!"
Others continued to be confused. What is the relationship between the gambling house and Mr. Jiao?
The people who can sit here don't say they know each other's ins and outs, but they also know each other's ins and outs. A person with a reputation like Mr. Jiao has definitely not been involved in an underground industry like a gambling house.
"That's enough!" Manager Jiao stood up and shouted violently, tore the page in his hand into pieces and threw it on the ground.
The other two people holding papers, Mr. Luo lowered his head and remained silent, while Mr. Hu frowned and stared at Qin Dewei.
There is not much content written on this paper, but it simply records a gang of villains. The leader of the gang, Chang Wei, is an unemployed vagrant who gathered a dozen gangsters into a gang and made a living by lending money.
The interest on their debts is often a few cents per month. They often take advantage of people's danger and rely on the strength of the crowd to forcefully demand interest. In the past three years, it was found that there have been more than ten cases of debt-related deaths, forced prostitution, trafficking of good people, and rape.
The above are only superficial facts, and they seem to be just talking about the situation of an illegal loan sharking gang.
But at the end of the investigation, there was another conclusion: Chang Wei spent extravagantly and had no money left. All the money he borrowed came from banks. The illegal interest earned was often divided with the banks.
Qin Dewei glanced at Mr. Jiao and said contemptuously: "Enough? How can it be enough? This page only mentions one family, but there is more than one gang under the control of the county government, and it is not just Mr. Jiao who is in charge of your bank!"
Your Qianye Office claims to have forty-eight peers, but I think at least a dozen of them are involved in this kind of thing!"
