"Two hundred gold? Who can spend this little money? You're so petty."
"Yes, our purchase price is one hundred and fifty gold. You want to take away two hundred gold?"
"Do you really think we are beggars? We only earn fifty gold, and the average family only earns a little more than one gold."
"We spend so much money and earn so little, who would be happy to give it to anyone?"
"..."
Wu Yun's refusal of two hundred gold to purchase the golden monkey soon spread among the major noble families in Shu County.
In today's situation, everyone is going crazy. There are still many people who look down on the 33.3% profit. Everyone wants to make a huge profit, and only doubling it will be enough.
but......
There are crazy ones and there are calm ones.
There are also some people who are still very afraid of the imperial court:
"I think they are right. It will definitely do no good to bring this matter to the emperor."
"Yes, starting from one hundred gold, it is tripled. The emperor is not stupid, can he accept it?"
"Although we made a small amount this time, the average income per family is several thousand gold, which is very good."
"I feel it's better to be more prudent. After all, this is not a small amount."
"..."
Just when everyone was arguing.
"Report—!"
A long announcement sounded from outside.
Everyone turned to look.
But then, Wu Yun walked in with a step that he didn't recognize, his lips slightly raised, and he cupped his hands towards everyone: "Everyone, I just entered the door and I heard you guys quarreling here."
"how?"
Speaking of this, Wu Yun glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "Those two guys spread a few rumors casually, and you were swayed? You don't believe in my, Wu Yun's judgment so much?"
"this......"
The doubters just now fell silent for a moment.
Some brave people tried to say: "Old Wu, it's not that we don't believe in your judgment, it's just that the head of my family has said that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is definitely not an ordinary person. If we do this, we are afraid that we will do something bad."
"That's right."
Someone else echoed: "This price increase is much more fierce than before. The price of two hundred gold has doubled. If you don't ask, it will be three hundred gold. Who can bear this?"
?”
"Let's put ourselves in someone else's shoes."
Immediately afterwards, someone else complained: "If you were His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, and suddenly received a report from someone below, saying that the Yizhou nobles had united and raised the price to three hundred gold, would you accept it?"
"Anyway..."
The man prolonged his voice slightly and took a long breath: "If I were His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, I would definitely get furious and order a ban on the acquisition of golden monkeys. If so, wouldn't this batch of goods fall into our hands?
"
"So you are not His Majesty the Emperor!"
Before the man could finish speaking, Wu Yun interrupted without hesitation: "You always use your own thinking to judge what His Majesty the Emperor does. Do you think it is correct?"
"If I remember correctly, the last time we made money, you invested the least and made the least money. You also often said that if you were His Majesty, you would never spend such an expensive price to acquire the Golden Monkey.
"
"But what's the truth?"
Wu Yun spread his hands, slapped the other person in the face rudely and said: "The price of the golden monkey increased more than ten times that time. Have you forgotten all these things?"
"I......"
"What am I?"
Before the other party could speak, Wu Yun interrupted directly: "Your judgment was proven wrong last time, and today, you actually dare to say these words."
"snort!"
Wu Yun snorted and said disdainfully: "If you don't want to make money, after I sort it out, you can sell your family's golden monkey to them at a low price. I, Wu Yun, will never stand in the way."
"this......"
The man was silent for a long time and did not answer.
Wu Yun is proficient in negotiation skills and naturally knows that the other party is also hesitant.
He let out a long breath, glanced at the nobles present, and said in a sonorous voice: "Everyone, the emperor's thoughts cannot be speculated at will. After all, there are unforeseen circumstances."
"However, the latest news I learned is that the newly opened price of Luoyang Imperial City has reached an outrageous two thousand gold per half acre. Is it made of gold?"
"ah?"
Suddenly, all the nobles in the room were shocked, and each one showed a look of horror:
"Two thousand gold per half an acre? It's so expensive. It's twice as expensive as the first installment."
"Is it possible that some people will buy this? Isn't it too cheating?"
"Even if you kill me, I won't fall for this!"
"..."
Discussions started instantly and filled the whole room.
At this moment, Wu Yun waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a cold voice: "If we talk about pricing and price increases, who among us is the opponent of His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Luoyang Imperial City is unique, and our golden monkeys in Yizhou are also unique. Luoyang Imperial City is valuable because of the emperor. Isn't that true for our golden monkeys?"
"I thought......"
Speaking of this, Wu Yun's lips curved slightly, and he broke into a faint smile: "If they really report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor will also smile, wave his hand, and directly approve, or even
He would also mock us for being stupid."
"The price of three hundred gold is simply not worth it in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone will be willing to pay for the things they like."
"Just like the head of my family, if he had a peerless sword now, he would spend dozens of gold, or even hundreds of gold, to bring it into his house. The same goes for a bloody horse."
"the reason is simple."
Wu Yun took a deep breath and said sonorously: "Because for them, they will think that the peerless sword and the bloody horse are worth the money, and they don't feel expensive at all."
"Why does His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang not accept other species of monkeys? Because in his eyes, other monkeys have no spirituality and are not valuable at all. This is the root of the problem."
At this point, all the nobles nodded in agreement.
They were impressed by Wu Yun's powerful lobbying, and after careful analysis, it seemed to be very reasonable.
Initially some people were afraid, but after listening to Wu Yun's analysis, they all became firm. As long as His Majesty the Emperor likes it, this small amount of money is nothing more than a hundred houses to him.
The huge Luoyang Imperial City has more than 10,000 houses, even less than 1% of them. How can he be reluctant to pay for this? Absolutely impossible, just like you have 10,000 yuan, and you are asked to spend 100 yuan,
No need to think about it at all.
call-
He took a deep breath.
Wu Yun could clearly feel that the hearts of the people in front of him had been completely settled.
He then said: "I still say what I said, if anyone wants to sell their golden monkey at a low price, you can come here on your own after I take care of the matter at hand, and I will never stop you.
"
But......
Although he said this, Wu Yun still didn't want anyone to be disunited.
After all, once someone is conquered by the Nanyang Court, then their small group will probably gradually fall apart and eventually be annihilated one by one by the Nanyang Court, and that's it.
"Old Wu, what are you talking about? We are a group and no one will quit midway."
"Yes, didn't we agree before? We will all obey your orders."
"That's right, it's already like this now, so of course we all listen to your call."
"No one quits, right?"
"is not it?"
"Yes, no one will quit."
"look!"
"..."
Wu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly: "That's great! Everyone, shopping malls are like battlefields. I will never allow anyone to shake our military morale at this moment."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]
"Now, we have the last supply of golden monkeys. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity and sell them at a high price, we may never have the chance again."
The next second, the whole hall suddenly became noisy:
"Don't worry, Lao Wu, we will definitely support you."
"That's right, let's make this last sum together."
"We believe in your ability."
"Anyone who doesn't support you is an enemy of me and others."
"..."
Looking at the already excited nobles, Wu Yun let out a long sigh and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Thank you for your support, Wu. I am very grateful. Don't worry, we will definitely succeed this time!"
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Hoho—
Cheers sounded instantly, filling the room.
Next, everyone held a banquet with wine and humbly asked Wu Yun for advice.
Wu Yun was not stingy with his judgment and shared it with everyone until late at night before going home.
However, after two days of this, Wu Yun could no longer laugh at all.
"What did you say?"
Wu Yunteng stood up, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he looked in disbelief: "The person who bought the golden monkey from the imperial court has left Shu County and is going back to resume his life?"
"That's right."
The attendant nodded: "I just left this morning and it's closed now."
Wu Yun hurriedly left the table, turned to the room, and shouted loudly: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on me? Why did you come here to report now?"
The attendant frowned: "Butler, this... we can't break in, can we? The curfew has just been lifted this morning, so we sent someone over, but who would have thought that the door would have been closed all the time, if not
The captain of the city gate told us that he had left, but we didn't know it yet."
"Damn it!"
Wu Yun immediately realized something was wrong.
The other party left so quietly, which made it clear that there was no room for maneuver.
After all, if this was the opponent's plan, he would have thought of a way to let him know in advance. However, the opponent did not do this and just wanted to leave quietly. The meaning of this is self-evident.
"What happened?"
Wu Yun frowned and thought for a long time.
He never believed that the Emperor of Nanyang would refuse to purchase the Golden Monkey. This possibility did not exist: "Nanyang, it must be Nanyang. Is there any information coming back from Nanyang?"
"this......"
Just when the attendant was confused.
suddenly.
A hurried announcement sounded outside the house:
"Report—!"
Wu Yun hurried out and looked up.
However, he saw Wu Yi, the head of his family, coming angrily, holding a sword in his hand, his steps as fast as fire, his brows furrowed, his eyes wide open, and his anger shot straight into the sky.
Wu Yun suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. He rushed forward to get ahead of Wu Yi and said with a worried expression: "Master, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding. It's far from time to draw a conclusion now."
Canglang—!
A cold light flashed, and the cold sword edge directly touched Wu Yun's neck: "I have told you before, try not to bring this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, but you just don't listen, you insist on doing so."
"It's okay now. Your Majesty is furious. The ministers have remonstrated and ordered the purchase of golden monkeys to stop. I guess it won't be long before the entire Yizhou nobles know about it. Do you think they will let you go?"
"Master!"
Wu Yun was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face: "I...how...could this news be wrong? There is no way His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang would not make the acquisition just because of this little money.
It’s a golden monkey.”
“What does money have to do with it?”
Wu Yi gritted his steel teeth and became angry, and the sword edge slowly sank: "You have offended His Majesty's dignity, plus we control the supply of goods and have cut off the wealth of many wealthy businessmen, so the ministers will remonstrate bitterly."
"You idiot!"
Wu Yi was so furious that he wanted to kill Wu Yun on the spot: "You self-righteous fool! The imperial court prohibits the acquisition of golden monkeys. All our millions of gold assets have been wasted."
At this moment, Wu Yun also realized the seriousness of the matter, and his body kept shaking.
With a pop, he knelt on the ground, moved his knees forward quickly, raised his head, and burst into tears: "Master, I have been with you for more than twenty years, you must save me!"
"roll!"
Wu Yi kicked him away, and pointed his cold sword at Wu Yun: "If I, Wu Yi, can avoid being implicated by you, I have to thank God. Do you still want me to save you?"
Although Wu Yun has done a lot of things for the Wu family, and everything that the Wu family has now is inseparable from Wu Yun, the situation is different now. Wu Yun has lost all the assets of the Yizhou nobles, even if he doesn't kill him
He can't guarantee that others won't take action.
Abandon the car to save the handsome man!
This is the only way Wu Yi can think of.
Carrying a sword, he rushed over immediately to prevent Wu Yun from running away, so that he could give an explanation to the angry Yizhou nobles and try his best to protect the Wu family.
"Master of the house."
Wu Yun naturally knew that the goods he broke into were very big.
At the same time, he also understood very well that his family owner wanted to give up his car to save his handsome man.
The only solution for now is to blame Wu Yi for being ruthless and unjust. It is useless. It is better to find a way to save the current situation: "Let's go find Liu Yizhou. Only Liu Yizhou can save us now."
"Let Liu Yizhou come forward to attack the Banchen barbarians, recover the money, and then return it to Zhongxing Bank. At least we can keep our assets and calm the anger of the Yizhou nobles."
Have to admit it.
This is indeed a way.
However, Wu Yi knew very well that it would not be that easy for Liu Yan to start a war with Banchen Man.
Especially now, the Bancheng barbarians have a relationship with the Nanyang court. If Liu Yizhou attacks the Bancheng barbarians, it will probably give the Nanyang court an excuse to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Yizhou and destroy them.
Wu Yi said coldly: "Hmph, do you think the Banchen Man now is still the Banchen Man before? If you want the lord to attack Banchen Man, that would be equivalent to asking the lord to start a war with Nanyang."
"Then...that...then how..."
Wu Yun was so confused that he couldn't control his thoughts at all.
At this moment, a hurried announcement sounded again not far away:
"Report—!"
Wu Yi turned around and looked.
However, he saw his servants rushing over with extremely panicked expressions: "Master, something bad has happened. People from all the major noble clans in Yizhou have come knocking on the door, demanding compensation from our family."
When Wu Yun heard this, he became furious and shouted: "Compensation? Why should we compensate? They all agreed at the beginning. If the business is lost, it is everyone's business, not my Wu family's business."
The truth is this though.
but......
What's the point of trying to reason with a bunch of unreasonable people?
If the money is not much, maybe they will give the Wu family some face for Wu Yi's sake, but what is involved now is their wealth and lives, how can they not be anxious?
"Shut up!"
Wu Yi shouted to stop, and immediately gave a sonorous order: "Come here, tie him up."
The attendant leaned forward and raised his hands: "Here."
Wu Yun stared: "Master, I..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
Wu Yi directly intercepted and said: "Take it away for me!"
The attendant nodded: "Here."
now.
In front of Wu's house.
The place was crowded with people, all of whom were Yizhou nobles.
"Wu Yi, come out and pay me back!"
"Repay me my hard-earned money!"
"Wu Yi, come out and pay back the money quickly!"
"Otherwise we will surely destroy your mansion."
"..."
Squeak—!
Just as the hustle and bustle outside the mansion was shaking, the gate of Wu Mansion opened.
Wu Yi held a sharp sword and came out with his attendants and Wu Yun. His bright eyes were like sharp swords and he swept across the crowd. Although he didn't say a word, he silenced everyone instantly.
"Everyone!"
Wu Yi sheathed his sword and cupped his fists in front of everyone: "I personally deeply regret what happened today, but as far as I know, you all agree with this. If something goes wrong, everyone should bear it together.
Instead of looking for me, Wu Yi."
Although Wu Yi was ready to give up his job to save his commander, he would still fight for what he had to fight for. After all, the responsibility for this matter was too heavy. Even if Liu Yan was stabbed, he would still have to find a reason.
"Do we agree? Who can testify?"
At that moment, a voice sounded from the crowd, instantly igniting the anger of all the nobles:
"Yes, who can testify? Why do we agree with his operation?"
"There were many people who opposed it at the beginning. It was Wu Yun who insisted on going his own way, which angered the court!"
"We wanted to withdraw a long time ago, but it was Wu Yun who forced us to withdraw in time."
"You must shoulder this responsibility, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
"Yes, you must bear this responsibility, otherwise we will not be polite."
"Yes, the Wu family must be responsible."
"..."
When Wu Yun heard the voices of these guys, the anger in his heart completely burned.
That's right.
There were indeed some people who wanted to quit, but they were dissuaded by me, but they did so willingly, and I had never stopped anyone from quitting.
But who would have thought...
It had only been two or three days, but this group of people had already changed their minds. They were like vampires, trying to grab their bodies and drink their blood. They were cunning, cunning, and extremely vicious!
"nonsense!"
Wu Yun shouted at the top of his lungs: "You are the ones who don't want to quit. I gave you a chance. If you don't want to quit, what does it have to do with me?"
"When making money, Old Wu and Brother Wu shouted, if something happens now, it's all my responsibility. Does it have anything to do with you? You guys are thieves! Traitors! Evil thieves! Even if I, Wu Yun, am
Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go."
Now Wu Yun only regrets that he was too confident at the beginning and did not let them leave written information to prove that this was their willingness. Now it is better to be treated like this by the other party. It is simply unreasonable.
"Who can provide proof?"
A voice came from below again and interrupted directly: "We are helping your Wu family borrow money. The business belongs to your Wu family and has nothing to do with us."
"Now that you can't continue your business, you have to pay back the money and redeem all our assets, otherwise we will tear down the Wu family and use it to pay off debts!"
"That's right!"
Then, someone else echoed: "The business belongs to your Wu family and has nothing to do with us. You just borrowed money and you have to pay it back now. Pay it back quickly!"
“Pay back the money quickly!”
"Pay back the money!"
"Pay back the money!"
"Pay back the money!"
"..."
Damn it!
Wu Yi's heart suddenly galloped with thousands of horses galloping.
This horse is no ordinary horse, but the famous grass mud horse!
If you make money, you are investing; if you lose money, you are borrowing!
Anyway, they have their mouths on other people's faces, so they can say whatever they want. As for face, it's all bullshit. They have always been unscrupulous for their own interests, so what morals do they care about?
Nonsense!
It’s all nonsense!
The Yizhou gentry made it clear that they were bullying him, a foreigner!
This matter is no longer solely the responsibility of Wu Yun, but the responsibility of the entire Wu family.
At this moment, Wu Yi had completely seen the most shameless side of the Yizhou gentry. Those guys who read poetry and books and preached benevolence, justice and morality were actually the most despicable and shameless people.
"Come in and smash it!"
"That's right, rush in, smash it, and move things to pay off the debt!"
"Guys, fuck this guy!"
"..."
Just when the Yizhou nobles were preparing to rob people.
suddenly.
A voice sounded not far away: "Who dares to take action?"
The next second, soldiers in armor came one after another and surrounded them from the left and right sides.
It's the Yizhou Army!
All the Yizhou nobles made a judgment at once.
However, the person who came out of the army was not Liu Yan, but Liu Ba of Zhongxing Bank.
Liu Ba was sitting on his horse, his stern eyes swept over the nobles, and he shouted loudly: "The Wu family has pledged its assets to the bank. This house belongs to the Zhongxing Bank, and everything in it belongs to the Zhongxing Bank."
"If any of you dare to touch this place, even if it's just a flower or a grass, you are going against my Zhongxing Bank and the Nanyang court. You'd better think carefully!"
"snort!"
An angry groan.
Immediately, those who rushed up the steps retreated in a muffled voice.
They dared to attack Wu Yi, but they definitely did not dare to attack Nanyang Hanting, not to mention that behind Liu Ba at this moment, there was also Yizhou Mu Liu Yan's team.
Looking at the Yizhou nobles who dared to be angry but dared not speak, Liu Bace immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Anyone who has signed a contract with Zhongxing Bank should repay the money as soon as possible. If the repayment date comes, it will not be paid back."
