Leng Ningyun smiled and said: "That's what I say, we definitely can't lift the table until the last moment. After all, we are all eating at this table. As long as we understand it rationally and move it to benefit, they will naturally agree."
"But, isn't this just like counterfeit banknotes..." Wu Kaidi was not from a financial background, and was confused for a moment, "We can't tell whether the person who came to exchange the money was sent by Shanxi House."
"So we have to negotiate and let them come up with money to help us deal with this run."
Wu Kaidi's mouth was wide open. Although he had been working with Leng Ningyun for many years, after all, there were some things he couldn't figure out because he was separated by mountains.
"Proprietor! This is hundreds of thousands of silver! Just transporting it here requires several large trucks! Lend it to us for no reason? Even if it is a loan, there must be interest!"
"As long as I can convince them to borrow money, it's a trivial matter." Leng Ningyun has somewhat recovered his energy at this moment. It was probably the boredom of doing nothing for dozens of days that stimulated him, and he seemed extremely excited at the moment. It was freezing cold outside, and the room
There was only a brazier in the room, and he was still wearing only a thin silk cotton jacket, pacing back and forth in the room.
"You make a list for me. Make a list of all the Lingdong shopkeepers and big shopkeepers in Shanxi House, and also write down the thresholds behind them." Leng Ningyun already had a plan in mind, "You can prepare another letter.
Send this generous gift to Mr. Liu of Shuntian Prefecture, saying thank you for taking care of him these days. Ask him to unblock it as soon as possible. You can withdraw the money you need from your account."
"This is easy, I'll do it when I get back." Wu Kai said authentically.
"One more thing. After you return to Delong, ask people to clean the house, prepare sedans and horses, and say hello to the place. I will return to Delong with great fanfare the day after tomorrow. All Delong guys will be there as long as they have nothing to do."
"Here." Wu Kaidi understood what the master meant. Business depends on one's credit strength. Leng Ningyun has disappeared for some time without any reason, which has had a great impact on his business reputation. Now that he is back, he must let everyone
all know.
On December 29, the ninth year of Chongzhen (January 24, 1637), it was the day of the twelfth lunar month, and it snowed heavily in the capital. The world was difficult, but in the best place in the world, the atmosphere of the New Year was still quite good.
Strong.
On this day, many shops have been closed, allowing the clerks to go back to prepare for the New Year celebrations. Many government offices have also been sealed and suspended. Every household, as long as they are not busy with a meal, are preparing for the New Year. Snowflakes are falling.
It also covers the dilapidated houses and dirty streets, decorated with silver, waiting for the arrival of Chongzhen in ten years.
In front of Delong Bank, the street has been swept clean. Although the closed door still has the seal of Shuntian Mansion, a brand new lantern has been hung. The word "Delong" written in Song Dynasty in Chinese ink is very eye-catching in the white snow.
.
In front of the house on the other side, the door of more than twenty days is open, and two huge lanterns are hung in front of the door. One is "Leng Zhai" in Song font, and the other is inscribed "Jiansheng". The latter
It was specially donated by the Foreign Intelligence Service from the Nanjing Imperial College for Leng Ningyun.
Even though he was just a "supervisor" who was ridiculed by the imperial examination, even the wealthy people in the capital had to be polite when they saw Leng Ningyun.
The stewards, shopkeepers, clerks, and guards of the mansion and the bank all put on brand-new clothes, and stood in front of the door with their chests and bellies raised. The yamen sent by Shuntian Prefecture were there to maintain order. The crowd watching the excitement was even bigger.
It was crowded with half the street.
I saw a servant in green clothes running quickly from the street, saying repeatedly: "Coming, coming!"
Following his shout, the servants immediately lit the firecrackers. Thirty-six "Spring on the Ground" large trumpets with two kicks and six red whips with 10,000 characters were lit together, making it crackling and lively.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a blue cloth sedan carried by four people, surrounded by escorts from the Heliansheng Escort Bureau, slowly came from the street.
Sitting upright in this sedan chair is none other than Leng Ningyun himself.
It has only been more than twenty days since I was tricked into leaving Delong that day, but these twenty days seem to have been endless. Now that I am back on this street, looking at the street scene outside, it feels like a world away.
If I hadn't been greedy for success and worked as the cold boss with peace of mind, how could I have suffered such a big hardship? In the final analysis, I was still "greedy".
I remember when I first entered the financial industry, my mentor said that success in this industry is also "greedy", and failure is also "greedy". If you don't have enough greed and aggressiveness for money, you won't be able to do this business; but
This kind of greed often leads people into a state of eternal destruction.
However, that note was too tempting, and this person knew the Senate too well. Under this bait, probably no senator could resist the temptation.
This Mr. Le is so mysterious. Leng Ningyun suspected more than once during his capture that he was a time traveler similar to Hale.
But after several encounters, it doesn’t seem like it.
He is very young, but extremely sophisticated; he is knowledgeable but quite ignorant; he seems to know the Senate very well, but he has many wrong interpretations of them.
"What a mysterious man." Leng Ningyun thought to himself.
Next, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the Political Security Bureau will probably send troops to the capital to investigate the matter. The origin of this person must be the focus of the investigation.
He had already talked with Li Rufeng at the Luoma Inn and roughly understood some of the things that had happened these days. Although he had not met Min Zhanlian and had not read the relevant reports, based on the information he had so far, he was probably the one who kidnapped him.
Bajiu is a member of the "Shi Weng Group". And this mysterious young man should be a core figure in the group.
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to do next." He thought silently.
The sedan stopped, and the young man opened the sedan curtain and came over in confusion.
"Master, please get off the sedan."
Leng Ningyun Surong bowed down to support the boy's arm and got out of the sedan. Snowflakes were falling like flakes from the sky. Looking around, a piece of crystal white snow covered the original swamp on the street, which also made it somewhat smelly.
The smell of the air is fresh and pleasant.
He took a deep breath of the cold air and said with a smile: "What a heavy snow!"
"Yes!" He smiled happily, "It will be a good year with good snow and good luck, so next year will be a good year!"
There was a commotion among the idle people watching. Some people shouted auspicious words such as "Master Leng is auspicious, auspicious people and heavenly ministers" in the hope of asking for some reward money. Others shouted at the top of their lungs: "Master, please show mercy. Don't let me have any mercy."
My silver”.
No matter what the words were, Leng Ningyun ignored them and walked up to the two escort chiefs He Liansheng and said, "Thank you both for your efforts this time."
"This is what I should do." Li Rufeng was very respectful, "This is my good fortune."
Liao Sanniang didn't say anything, but was deeply blessed.
Then he walked to the two assistant managers Xiao and Wei, the general accountant and other "executives". The general accountant immediately led everyone to bow and salute: "Welcome the master back home!"
Leng Ningyun didn't speak, but just nodded with a smile. Xiao and Wei were frightened - after all, when the incident first broke out, they were not firm in their stance and had the idea of "jumping off the ship". There are many people who know about these things.
Will Master Leng deal with him this way when he comes back?
Now the boss no longer looked angry, but responded with a smile, which made several people feel more and more mysterious.
Leng Ningyun strode into the mansion. The female family members in the mansion, led by He Xiang and Yan Hong, waited in front of the steps of the flower hall to greet him. When they saw him walking into the courtyard, He Xiang's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, bursting into tears.
It didn't matter that he was crying, even the servants including Yan Hong started crying.
Leng Ningyun smiled and said, "Why are you crying! Haven't I come back fine now?" After saying that, he helped the two of them up and ordered everyone to get up.
Wukai sighed: "The two girls have been worried day and night since there has been no news about the master. They are on duty every day and stay up all night just to get the news in time! The two girls also made a wish for Bai Zhai, but the master has not come back safely.
Before, there was no salt in meals..."
Leng Ningyun looked at the two girls with haggard faces and felt sorry for herself. She said, "Why bother! Such abuse of the body and not eating salt will allow me to come back safely? It's ruining my body!"
Immediately, he ordered people to help them back to the room and get some glucose salt water to drink. He himself returned to the "one-wall studio" where he usually worked.
This hall is where he commands the entire Delong Jingshi Branch. He gives orders and allocates funds here.
This place has been vacant since he was kidnapped. The furnishings in the room have not changed, and even the letters and account books on his desk have not been moved.
I gently twisted my fingers, but there was no dust at all. There were several pots of narcissus on the table, and several clusters of flowers. Some were in bud, and some were in full bloom. The whole room was filled with fragrance. A large plate of Buddha's hand was still shiny with yellow oil.
.
Apparently, when he left, the place was cleaned every day and kept in its original appearance. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel secretly moved and a little apologetic. There were hundreds of people in the Delong Jingshi Branch, and their food and clothing safety depended on him alone. But he was so reckless.
!
Thinking about it, I still haven't gotten over the shadow of the original "anti-encirclement and suppression escape", and I have always wanted to prove my "bravery and fearlessness".
While he was reflecting, Wu Kaidi came up with a tea cup and asked: "Master, everyone is waiting for your instructions..."
"Well," he nodded, "please tell everyone, no matter they are in the inner house or the bank, everyone should perform their duties at their posts and sort out the work at hand. Especially the people in the bank, do a good job these days.
Preparations for opening the business. I have met with them one after another in the past two days.
"Everyone from He Liansheng, except Li, Liao and the nursing staff, please go back first. I will thank you very much soon."
"yes."
"Please invite Li and Liao in first."
Although it is not an urgent matter, this crisis and Lian Sheng have contributed the most, and there are still casualties. Compassionate rewards should be given as soon as possible to avoid chilling people's hearts.
