When the emperor is angry, the world trembles. In this dynasty that focuses on "family and world", the emperor is definitely the highest authority.
Sure enough, after Zhu Youxiao issued the order for strict investigation, not only the imperial court became busy, but the entire city of Beijing became busy.
Wei Zhongxian originally had a laissez-faire attitude towards Ma Xiaoquan's bank business, because at this time he was on the verge of destroying the Donglin Party, and because he had connections with all the banks in Beijing, he acted under the emperor's order.
Next, these people came to ask Wei Zhongxian for help in exonerating him.
Wei Zhongxian was also very upset. Why did he let Ma Xiaoquan make such a big noise without paying much attention to him? Well, now that the emperor's order has been issued, Jun Wuxi said, what do you want me to do, Wei?
...
Ma Xiaoquan also knew that those people would go to Wei Zhongxian. Before Wei Zhongxian could make any move, he asked King Xin to put pressure on Wei Zhongxian.
King Xin has remained silent on Wei Zhongxian's dealings with the Donglin Party. That is because he believes that this is a human struggle and does not rise to the level of national security. Majia Bank, a bank with a national name, is
On the pretext of raising money for the country to support the frontier, the bank was unfairly squeezed out not long after it opened, and Zhu Youjian became angry.
On the same day, Zhu Youjian seriously submitted a memorial to his brother and emperor Zhu Youxiao on the grounds of "national security". The memorial stated the importance of Majia Bank and the actions of those in Beijing who deliberately blackmailed Majia Bank.
Shameless sex.
Wei Zhongxian was standing next to the emperor, looking at Wang Xin Biao. Although he wanted to step forward to persuade him, Wei Zhongxian felt very frightened when he saw King Xin's posture.
After returning home, Wei Zhongxian urgently summoned a group of losers to discuss countermeasures.
Wang Tiqian proposed to confront Ma Xiaoquan. Anyway, Mr. Wei, you have the greatest power. No one in the court, except the emperor, dares to do anything to you.
Li Zongyu felt that he should wait and see what happens before making a decision.
Tian Ergeng suggested that he would continue to mess up Majia Bank until the end, so that he would not be able to stand up.
Li Yongzhen and Cui Chengxiu looked at each other and both suggested that they couldn't do it. Wei Zhongxian was curious and asked them why they couldn't do it.
Cui Chengxiu said: "Those banks also followed you after seeing your power, Lord Wei, but they are always businessmen. The nature of businessmen is to pursue profits, and they will only follow you, Lord Wei, when it is profitable."
Wei Zhongxian said angrily: "If this is the case, then it is better to follow Er Geng's words and destroy those banks first."
Li Yongzhen shook his head and said: "No, although those people are seeking profit, they also contributed a lot of money to Mr. Wei. If they are destroyed, where will the money come from?"
Cui Chengxiu nodded and continued: "Master Wei, this is actually not a bad thing. As long as we have money to take, why not do it. Of course, some of those people are a little proud of your power, Master Wei.
It’s not a bad idea to use Ma Xiaoquan’s hand to deal with them this time. Anyway, the person they hate will definitely be Ma Xiaoquan, not you, Mr. Wei.”
Wei Zhongxian touched his chin and said with a smile: "Well, I understand what you said, so our family will not interfere in this matter. Well, if they come to me, they will say that I am busy and not here."
All the losers stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Wei!"
...
The news that Wei Zhongxian was cheating on the bank affairs soon reached the ears of Ma Xiaoquan. On the one hand, Ma Xiaoquan praised Zhang Mazi's speed of intelligence, but on the other hand, he also began to deal with those "friendly businessmen".
Now that Wei Zhongxian has given up, Ma Xiaoquan just takes advantage of the emperor's order to do something big.
Lisa suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to acquire most of the banks, so that in the future money transactions in Beijing would be in the hands of Ma Xiaoquan. Hua Yue suggested taking control of these banks. Majia Bank has not been established for a long time. If you take advantage of this opportunity,
Taking the opportunity to come to power powerfully may arouse public outrage and cause people to jump over the wall. Secondly, Ma Xiaoquan has other plans. If they go too deep, it will be difficult to escape when the time comes...
Ma Xiaoquan weighed the pros and cons and decided to adopt Hua Yue's suggestion.
Lisa didn't understand why Ma Xiaoquan let those people in the bank go. In her opinion, killing you while you are sick is the law of business war. Once you give others a chance to breathe, the consequences are immeasurable.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Lisa, in China, no matter what you do, don't kill everyone. Leave a way for others to survive. Now when you are in trouble, they will also leave you a way to survive."
Besides, our purpose this time is not to destroy those banks, but to make them take us seriously."
Lisa looked at Ma Xiaoquan with some confusion, and Ma Xiaoquan smiled and patted the back of her hand: "After all, you are not from China. In China, you have to learn to be flexible. Haha, you will gradually get used to this in the future."
...
In a certain manor, the bosses of several major banks in the capital were sitting together. The bosses had stern expressions and frowned.
A boss with a mustache spoke first: "Master Wei doesn't care about me. The emperor ordered a strict investigation, and King Xin reported again. This time, Ma Xiaoquan got an advantage. What should we do?"
Another fat boss said: "If we die, we won't be able to get better anyway, and you can't even think about Ma Xiaoquan."
The remaining bosses also nodded.
Sitting in the front seat was an elderly man. The old man lowered his head and could not tell what his expression was. After all the bosses said something, he finally raised his head, smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Ma Xiaoquan? There is no need to be afraid at all.
"
The other bosses were all stunned and looked at the old man.
The old man smiled and said: "This time it was all our carelessness, and the Ma family bank was newly established. If Ma Xiaoquan is smart, he must make a choice if he wants to gain a foothold in Beijing."
"Choice, what choice?"
The old man frowned and said: "Either kill us all, or... join us."
"Are these...these two options?"
The old man raised his eyebrows: "What else?"
At this moment, a servant suddenly walked in and whispered a few words in the old man's ear.
"Huh?" The old man was stunned and looked at the servant in surprise.
"Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"
The old man looked at the crowd, held his chin with his right hand, and murmured: "Ma Xiaoquan is here."
"What? Ma Xiaoquan? What is he doing here?"
The old man sneered and said, "You're here just in time, then we'll get to know him." After that, the old man waved his hand, and the servants respectfully left.
Not long after the old man finished speaking, laughter came from the door.
Ma Xiaoquan walked in with square steps, followed by Lisa beside him.
