When Zhu Hao and Shopkeeper Ma entered the city, it was already dark.
A celebration banquet has been held at home to celebrate Zhu Hao's passing the county examination. At this time, the whole family should be reunited, but Zhu Hao values "career" and can only put his family aside for the time being.
Go to the inn and meet Ouyang Nu.
At this time, Ouyang Nu and her mother-in-law beside her were all depressed and their faces were ashen.
If she had the option of running away before doing business with Zhu Hao, now she doesn't even have the qualifications to run away... Running away requires money, and being penniless, a woman will die wherever she goes.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to hold you accountable. If you insist that we deliberately set up a trap and tampered with you beforehand to cause your mirrors to be damaged on the road, please provide evidence."
When Zhu Hao came up, he struck first and made his words clear.
Ouyang Nu stared angrily: "You..."
"If there is no evidence, it's simply because the quality of our mirrors is not good. I'm sorry, because mirrors are inherently fragile and cannot be returned or exchanged, so I just came here as a courtesy to express my condolences. I deeply sympathize with your experience.
, but I’m sorry that I can’t help. Please have my condolences.”
As he spoke, Zhu Hao bowed and saluted, as if mourning the complete bankruptcy of the Ouyang family.
The mother-in-law beside Ouyang Nu still acted very forcefully: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble with the government?"
Shopkeeper Ma looked gloomy: "If you want to report to the official, please feel free to do it at any time. Doing business requires integrity. On the day of the transaction, we already stated that this batch of goods must be transported with care. We also suggested that you buy insurance so that if there is any damage to the destination, we will pay for it."
, but you didn’t agree... If we had a ghost in our hearts, how could we make such a promise?
"I think there must be an insider in the delivery team, who secretly sabotaged the goods. Now something really happened, and they want to put the shit basin on our heads. Do you think it's possible... Am I right, little boss?"
After speaking, Shopkeeper Ma looked at Zhu Hao.
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded in agreement.
Ouyang Nu closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.
Now it seems that the only way left is to die, which is to follow the route planned by the traitor before and enter the Duke's palace to become the concubine of the old man Zhu Fu.
Zhu Hao said: "As a former business partner, I will give you an option to sell yourself to pay off your debts..."
"Nonsense!"
When the mother-in-law heard this, she immediately became furious.
Zhu Hao pointed at the old woman: "Is this the one from the Ouyang family who signed the deed of betrayal?"
"So what?"
The mother-in-law looked like she was determined to serve her master to the death. She gritted her teeth and almost rushed over to fight Zhu Hao, "If you dare to bully our young lady, I will make you pay the price even if I risk my life."
Shopkeeper Ma said: "Don't be impatient. There's no need to go all out. A strong dragon won't overwhelm a local snake. We have more people than you. There's no problem for a hundred or two hundred people to rush in with just a shout...Businesses can't be done without righteousness. You're like this
There’s no point in making a fuss.”
Ouyang Nu waved her hand: "Let him continue."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Ouyang is still the head of the family who knows the current affairs... In fact, before doing business with you, I have inquired about your situation. Your shopkeeper Mu seems to have an unclear relationship with the Chengguo Duke's government. Volume
Money Run seems to be trying to force you to submit... You have three choices at the moment. The first is to run away. This path was still an option half a month ago, but now..."
Ouyang Nu didn't speak, her cheeks clenched tightly.
"Second, you, my boss, enter the Chengguo Palace as a concubine. As I expected, the Chengguo Palace will definitely not bear the huge debt owed by the Ouyang family. Your hope of reviving the family business will be dashed.
, Your Excellency has only reserved an escape route for yourself. Those around you who have signed the deed of betrayal, as well as your Ouyang family's property, will be quickly divided up by creditors. Even you, you are only here because of the protection of the Duke of Chengguo.
It won’t be copied, confiscated and sold.”
Ouyang Nu asked with a dark face: "Why do you think our Ouyang family is at the end of its rope?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "If I don't even know the true situation of my partners, what kind of business am I going to do? If your Ouyang family has a way out, why would you even mortgage a few ships to me as your last resort?"
Being poked into Zhu Hao's thoughts, Goddess Ouyang looked depressed and said nothing.
"Let me put it bluntly, what I want is the business channel of the Ouyang family. As long as you sell yourself here, I can hand over my goods to you for sale. You work for me and I will give you a share of the profits from the goods I produce.
Due to its popularity, I believe that within a few years, or even just one or two years, you can successfully redeem your property and re-establish the Ouyang family’s position in Jiangnan Shopping Mall.”
Zhu Hao told everything about his requirements and the pie he had drawn.
The mother-in-law gritted her teeth and said: "Wishful thinking! Miss, don't harm your future because of us slaves. You can leave at any time now..."
"Hey, hey, hey."
Shopkeeper Ma reminded him angrily, "Isn't it appropriate to openly talk about running away without repaying the debt in front of the creditor?"
Only then did the mother-in-law realize her gaffe and stood blankly on the spot.
After all, Zhu Hao in front of him is a creditor.
In name, Ouyang Nu used the boat as a mortgage to borrow money, but Zhu Hao could have sold the boat and said it was not enough to repay the debt, and then forced the Ouyang family to continue to repay the debt.
So to a certain extent, the mortgage is a mortgage, and the repayment of the debt is the repayment of the debt, and they do not affect each other.
Zhu Hao raised his hand and shouted to shopkeeper Zhi Ma: "Old Ma, it's better to stay on the sidelines as a human being. After all, we were once partners in business. If someone wants to run away, let her run away. Isn't the travel expenses not enough? Let's do that.
, go back and withdraw ten taels of silver from the account and send it to Master Ouyang. If he wants to give up the opportunity to revive the family business and is willing to abandon his debt and run away, how can he stop him?
"Don't say goodbye today, sleeping in the open, with no guarantee of personal safety. Where can she go as a prostitute? It seems that she can only go to Shu... The ten taels of silver will be regarded as funding for the Ouyang family. As for the debt, the four cargo ships are the principal, then
The passenger ship was regarded as interest...and was written off."
After saying that, Zhu Hao stood up and left.
Now that you have said what you need to say, do you still want to stay and have a meal with these idiots from the Ouyang family to discuss how to cooperate in the future?
Sorry, I only accept surrender!
If you don't want to say more, it's useless. I can't fight for this channel. There are other channels that can be fought for. Is it possible that the only business channel in the world is the Ouyang family?
Besides, the Ouyang family is in such a bad state. If one person can take advantage of him, how can his channels be any better? If the Ouyang family worked together to overcome the difficulties, how could they have been deceived by a traitorous shopkeeper to the point of ruining their lives?
?
Zhu Hao tidied his clothes and stepped out.
Shopkeeper Ma didn't waste any time and just kept up.
Taking out ten taels of silver demonstrates the benevolence and righteousness of the boss. He deceives others and loses a good reputation. He has nothing to lose, so why not do it?
Furthermore, Shopkeeper Ma didn't want Zhu Hao's products to be completely separated from Su Xigui's sales channels, causing displeasure to his former employer. He wished that the negotiations between the two parties would collapse.
Zhu Hao was about to go out when Ouyang Nu suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Zhu Hao turned around and looked at him with a frown, while Ouyang Nu's eyes were full of expectation.
"Miss……"
What else does the mother-in-law want to say?
Ouyang Nu asked: "What did you mean... selling yourself to pay off your debts?"
Zhu Hao said: "It is said that you sell yourself to pay off the debt, but in fact you are just working for me... It is impossible for you to repay the debt. At most, you sell yourself to me. I have the title of master here, so you can't."
You may sell yourself to someone else again. With this operation, I can keep you from being taken away by other creditors..."
"you……"
After hearing this, Ouyang Nu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
But Zhu Hao seemed to take it for granted: "And the money you paid for selling yourself is the ten taels of silver. You can give it to your men and let them go home and live their lives. Don't be surprised, I just have empty gloves.
White Wolf..."
The two masters and servants opposite were as dumbfounded as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
How can you be so confident that you can let people sell themselves for free and work for you for free?
"But, I gave you hope of reviving the family business, because I will use your Ouyang family's channels to help me sell goods, and I can share 10% of your profits at a time... Don't underestimate this 10%, if I
If you earn ten thousand taels of silver, you can earn one thousand taels. I have calculated the debts of the Ouyang family. Not counting the redemption of the house, the foreign debt is about eight hundred to one thousand taels of silver... If the land and house are included, it may take two
More than a thousand taels...Is my estimate correct?"
The master and servant looked at each other.
The other party knew all about our debts, and he said this was not a premeditated plan to defraud us of our money?
Zhu Hao said: "Sell yourself to get a chance to make a comeback. You don't have to worry that I will resell you or something. I still have this reputation... Shopkeeper Ma knows the situation in my family best. I am the only one who has orphans and widows."
The child who has not grown up will not have any evil intentions towards you, and from the beginning to the end, I only care about the channels of your Ouyang family.
"If after five years, you still haven't earned enough money to redeem your family property, then I will give you a sum of money to live on. If you use this money to run away, you won't starve to death in the countryside.
...I wonder what you think?"
Not only the master and servant of the Ouyang family, but also shopkeeper Ma understood it.
What Zhu Hao means is that if you work for me for free in the next five years, I will only give you a share of the profits and not give you any salary. Because you have signed a deed of sale, your creditors will not be able to do anything to you. At most, they will take away your family's property.
Sell it, and if you earn enough silver in five years, you can redeem your property. If you don't, you will still have hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver in your hand. If you run away then, you won't be as embarrassed as you are now.
Even Shopkeeper Ma is inevitably thinking that this debt repayment plan is really good.
If you ask someone to sell themselves to you for free, will they agree?
The daughter of a wealthy family sells her body to you as a slave, and she says she won't do anything to them, but if you really want to do what you want after signing the deed of sale, what else can they do to you?
"Ten taels of silver buys me a chance to revive the family business. Do you want to do it?"
Zhu Hao had a kind smile on his face, but this smile seemed a bit sinister and scary to the other party.
Goddess Ouyang's expression changed several times, and finally she said: "I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."
Although she didn't agree, she was obviously moved.
Except for selling oneself, which is unacceptable, the rest seems to be okay.
"Okay, even if you have to run away then, I will still give you ten taels of silver, but then we will have nothing to do with each other. If you leave Anlu, no matter how big the trouble is, don't even think of coming back to us.
, we will not admit to knowing you. Shopkeeper Ma, will you be a witness, is that okay?"
Zhu Hao smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Ma.
Shopkeeper Ma nodded solemnly: "No problem, we all listen to the little boss. Just do whatever the little boss says."
