Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and asked Lisa: "Lisa, how much have we paid these days?"
Lisa opened a small book at hand, glanced at it and said: "It's already fourteen thousand taels. "
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said: "We paid a price of 14,000 taels, but got very little effect. Moreover, we have taken the initiative to provoke trouble and attack many times. Presumably the bank alliance has also begun to plan a counterattack. I can say without exaggeration,
With the strength of the bank alliance, the effect they get from counterattacking us is much greater than the effect we get from attacking them."
"What should we do?" Lisa asked in a panic.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Before, we spread gossip three times in a row to create public pressure for them, but from now on, this should not have any good results, so... our only way to deal with them now is
A head-on confrontation."
Hua Yue frowned and said: "A head-on confrontation is of course the last resort, but have you ever thought that with our financial strength, if we go head-to-head with them, we will definitely be the ones who get injured and fall in the end."
"Of course I have thought about it, but if we don't confront them head-on, they will definitely spread rumors in turn. With their strength, it should be easy for them to create bigger rumors than us."
Hua Yue pondered for a moment and said, "What if this is really the case?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and said: "I must nip their rumors in their infancy, so I plan to bring King Xin in and ask him to give me some help."
"What help?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled strangely: "My Ming Dynasty is a family. Whoever becomes the emperor has the final say, so I can persuade King Xin to help me refute the rumors."
"King Xin also has counselors under his command. If you try to persuade him, will he believe it?"
Ma Xiaoquan grinned: "It will definitely not work if you say it. King Xin is not short of money. Hum, my method... is a bit damaging, but it can successfully bring public opinion back to our side."
"How do you do that?"
Ma Xiaoquan asked Lisa: "Don't we keep all our money in the bank?"
Lisa nodded and said: "They were all there originally, but recently there has been a lot of money and it is not easy to manage, so I sent people to transport most of it back home. After all, the bank's bank has not been completely built yet. We will wait until it is built."
Now, put the money back."
"Then how much money is left in the bank now?"
Lisa frowned and said, "About forty thousand taels."
"Very good!" Ma Xiaoquan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then told Hua Yue, "Li Yao is guarding the bank now. Go and call Li Yao. I have something to tell you. Well, don't be too obvious when calling.
It creates the illusion that Li Yao is involved in something else."
Hua Yue nodded: "I know, don't worry."
...
Late at night in Beijing, the street where Majia Bank is located is brightly lit and as lively as daytime, with some rich kids who love nightlife playing in the streets.
In the Ma Family Bank, Li Yao was standing guard in front of the treasury, his eyes bright and clear. There were several subordinates standing beside him.
"Bang bang bang", there was a knock on the back door of the bank suddenly. Li Yao stared, and several of his men immediately picked up the things in their hands and waited seriously.
"Who?" Li Yao said alertly, "Now is not the opening time for Ma's Bank. If you have anything to do, knock on the front door."
A soft female voice came out of the door: "Li Yao, it's me!"
Li Yao was stunned, and winked at a subordinate next to him. The subordinate understood, stepped forward, opened the door a crack, and looked out through the crack.
"Boss, this is Mrs. Huayue!" The subordinate turned his head and said to Li Yao.
Li Yao frowned: "It's so late, what does Mrs. Hua Yue want from me?"
The door opened, and Hua Yue walked in slowly, followed by four Ma family guards.
Li Yao stepped forward and said respectfully: "Madam, it's so late, are you looking for me?"
Hua Yue nodded: "I want to tell you about Shui'er..."
As soon as Hua Yue spoke, several of Li Yao's subordinates made varying degrees of strange expressions.
"You're laughing!" Li Yao cursed with a smile, then put away his smile and asked, "Madam, I have work to do now, this..."
Hua Yue also had a look of embarrassment on his face: "I know, that's why I went to tell you in person. Hey, then you go ahead and talk to me tomorrow morning. I'll leave first!"
"Well, okay!"
...
After Hua Yue left, Li Yao appeared restless. Several of his subordinates looked at his appearance and said, "Boss, why don't you go take a look? Don't worry, leave this place to us. If there is any problem, we will take care of it."
The item is guaranteed with a head."
Li Yao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll go and come back, you guys show me all your tricks."
"yes!"
...
The house where Miao Xiaomiao and Shengli eleven people lived was not far from the bank. Li Yao quickly arrived at the door. After knocking on the door, it was Hua Yue who came to open the door.
"Madam, you..."
Hua Yue did not let Li Yao in, but ordered him: "Ma Xiaoquan has assigned you a task..."
After listening to Hua Yue's words, Li Yao's pupils shrank sharply, and then he turned away without saying anything.
In Ma's bank, several guards were quietly guarding the bank's warehouse. Suddenly, a man sniffed and frowned: "Why do I smell the smell of glue?"
The other guards also nodded.
At this moment, someone outside the bank suddenly shouted: "It's on fire, it's on fire... Ma's bank is on fire."
"What, it's on fire? Hurry, go put out the fire."
...
The fire spread very quickly, and it was impossible for just a few guards to put out the fire. Since Majia Bank was located in a busy street, some people came to put out the fire. But at this moment, the backyard of the bank caught fire again.
The warehouse is in the backyard. If there is a fire in the backyard, wouldn't the warehouse...
Several guards were exhausted carrying buckets back and forth to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong and could not be extinguished quickly.
At this critical moment, Li Yao suddenly appeared. Seeing the banker on fire, Li Yao was shocked and rushed into the fire scene, leading his guards to put out the fire together.
When several guards saw the boss coming back, they shouted Li Yao's name with red eyes.
Li Yao waved his hand and said: "Put out the fire first!"
...
Fortunately, more and more people joined the fire-fighting team, and after an hour, the fire was extinguished.
Seeing the mess all over the courtyard, Li Yao knelt down on the ground with a bang, beating the ground with remorse until his hands bled.
"Who set the fire? Who?" Li Yao shouted angrily.
Several guards were also frightened, and no one dared to speak.
