Shopkeeper Shen burst out laughing, and Shopkeeper Qin also laughed a few times, but the expected roar of laughter did not happen. He felt vaguely that something was not good, so he could only continue to bite the bullet and hear: "Idiots are talking about dreams, idiots are talking about dreams...
"After that, there were several more laughs.
Unexpectedly, there was still silence in the flower hall. After a while, I only heard Shopkeeper Cao say: "Shopkeeper Leng is right. It's just that there are rumors outside that Delong is in danger. If you borrow Delong's notes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for colleagues in the industry to accept...
…”
"Shopkeeper Leng," suddenly Qiao Wannian interjected, "Everyone outside said that you are in danger. If they ask you to borrow money at this time, no one can be justified. If you can't hold on and collapse, wouldn't the money borrowed from the loan be a waste of paper?
open?"
Shopkeeper Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and someone finally came out to respond. Everyone has been pretending to be dead until now!
Leng Ningyun said: "If Delong is really squeezed out, this piece of waste paper you always have will be worth a hundred times in the future, maybe it can even be an amulet."
As soon as he said this, there was a chill in the hall. Everyone was sipping the smell.
Before that, what they worried about the most was the threshold behind Delong. At this moment, they realized: Delong's biggest obstacle is the thief Kun!
It is everyone's accepted fact that Delong had an affair with Kun Ze, but Kun Ze was far away from the capital, and it seemed that it could not affect them.
Thinking about it again at this moment, although the Kun Thief may not be able to attack the capital, but if it really breaks his face, it will not be difficult to deal with these few people. No matter Leng Ningyun's status among the Kun Thieves, if Delong is defeated, the Kun Thief will be defeated.
At least two to three hundred thousand silver will be lost.
No matter how rich the thief is, he will not think that two or three hundred thousand silver is insignificant...
Thinking about him coming back safely, I'm afraid it won't be something that just a few escorts can do.
Shopkeeper Shen gritted his teeth and sneered: "It's nonsense, ridiculous!"
From Li's point of view, Leng Ningyun's words were extremely ridiculous and were indeed "complete nonsense." However, when he said it at the moment, there was nothing ridiculous about it.
However, no one spoke in the flower hall. Qiao Wannian sniffed the snuff nervously, and somehow his nose was touched, and he suddenly sneezed loudly.
This sneeze broke the silence in the flower hall. Shopkeeper Yuan suddenly said: "Even if we are all in the same industry, Manager Yu should help me." He slowly got up from the couch, "I have limited financial resources and money.
Tight, we can't help you in times of need. After all, I still have Delong's notes in the store, which is almost twelve thousand taels. Even if it is loaned to shopkeeper Leng, it was originally sent by Delong. I don't think shopkeeper Leng will know it.
dislike."
"Thank you very much." Leng Ningyun stood up and bowed.
Shopkeeper Shen was very anxious. Although Shopkeeper Yuan said it beautifully, he actually quit the bank run. Moreover, most of his more than 20,000 taels of delong notes were collected at low prices, and the total cost was less than 3,000 taels.
He was about to be born when he didn't expect Shopkeeper Cao to also say: "Oh, this is also difficult. I also have tens of thousands of Delong bills, so I was afraid that something might happen! Since Shopkeeper Leng is so responsible, my Delong bills
Let’s just call it a loan—please, Shopkeeper Leng, don’t dislike it.”
"How can I be dissatisfied when I get a ticket from my family?" Leng Ningyun said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Shen, for taking care of my account."
As soon as these two families started, each family also responded, and they all used Delong's notes to pay for the loan, whether it was ten thousand or twenty thousand. After a rough calculation, it turned out to be nearly ninety thousand taels. Leng Ningyun
He was secretly stunned: These old Xi'er guys are really well prepared! Otherwise, as soon as the store opens tomorrow, just cashing in these tickets will put him in trouble.
Thanks to the Senate... At this moment, Leng Ningyun fully realized the care from Lingao. Although he was short of time and had no time to know what the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the General Reconnaissance Bureau had done, the results were outstanding.
Thinking of this, his mood became more and more cheerful, and he turned his eyes to Shen and Qin.
Although there is no direct evidence, judging from Shopkeeper Shen's performance, he cannot escape his involvement in this matter.
At this moment, he said somewhat teasingly: "I wonder what Shopkeeper Shen and Shopkeeper Qin think?"
Shopkeeper Shen never dreamed that something that was originally a sure thing would have such a big change! He simply suspected that everyone was possessed by evil spirits, or had taken Leng Ningyun's drug. Just as he was about to jump up and rebuke, suddenly something happened on his sleeve
Being pulled by shopkeeper Qin, he only heard him whisper: "Don't worry! There's something fishy!"
As soon as he said this, Shopkeeper Shen immediately realized that Leng Ningyun had neither drugged them nor possessed them, but they must have had some private deal beforehand! Maybe this group of people had already betrayed themselves!
Shopkeeper Shen's hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't think of what to say for a moment. Mu Dadai could only hear Shopkeeper Qin saying in his ears: "I also have more than 10,000 Delong notes here, forget about the interest..."
The meal lasted until the second watch. During the period, singing and dancing were indispensable to add to the fun. The handsome boys and beauties drank with each other and left happily. But the shopkeeper Shen was not satisfied with the food, and the beautiful lady was not interested at all. It was not easy to get there.
After the banquet, the madam arranged for one of his favorite girls to stay with him. Shopkeeper Shen didn't have any desire. He barely managed to say hello to his colleagues and then went back. As soon as he arrived at the sedan hall, Leng Ningyun suddenly stopped him.
before.
"Shopkeeper Shen, how is Manager Qiao in your shop doing? After all, he is also a member of the Qiao family in Pingyao. If you don't take care of him, he will have his faults and you won't be able to explain it to him."
Shopkeeper Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Can I explain what it has to do with you?"
"So, he encountered an accident?"
Shopkeeper Shen looked stunned and whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about!" After that, he no longer bothered to argue with Leng Ningyun, and quickly got on the sedan, saying repeatedly: "Go back to the shop!"
Leng Ningyun returned to the mansion and congratulated Wukaidi, "My master is really a great talent! With just a few words, they bowed their heads!"
"Where, where," Leng Ningyun changed her clothes, washed her hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, took the towel and wiped it, and said happily: "Where did I get such ability! You also need to have the capital to say harsh words.
, first of all, the Senate is now so powerful that they have to consider the issue of their retreat; secondly, the special investigation team has probably given them a little shock in the past few days."
"I really don't know how powerful this special reconnaissance team is..." Wu Kaidi felt quite overwhelmed, "I really want to see it with my own eyes one day."
"Of course there are opportunities." Leng Ningyun smiled and said, "Go and call someone over."
"Two assistants, early tomorrow morning, you will take these two orders and go to various Shanxi houses to withdraw money. Please bring more bodyguards to protect you."
Although Xiao and Wei were "full of confidence" on the scene, they actually had no idea what to expect after opening on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. When they took the order and looked at the number, their faces were filled with surprise and some disbelief.
"Master! Is this true?" Xiao Xiangli asked bravely.
"Of course it's true. It's the amount promised by all the shopkeepers at the banquet last night. You have to hurry up and do it. I've decided to open it on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and a notice will be posted tomorrow."
Although I didn't give the money on the spot, I always stick to my word in business and never regret what I said in public.
Wei Xiang reasoned: "These are all bills for Delong? The two bills add up to almost one hundred thousand taels!"
"That's what they said."
"Hey, dear, this must have wiped out all the Delong notes on the market! If we really let them rush over tomorrow, we will explode..." Wei Xiangli said, "I guess there are still notes redeemed from other places.
.If it is ordinary local exchanges, it will only be half at most."
"Speaking of which, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. If such a big change hadn't happened this time, how could they have collected so many Delong bills so quickly? They were all discounted by 30%, 40% off, or even 20% off.
How many of our customers have suffered losses and may have gone bankrupt!" Leng Ningyun sighed, "We are responsible for this matter."
"Selling Delong's tickets means you can't trust us, so you deserve the loss." Xiao Xiangli disagreed.
"You can't say that. Although we in finance have a way of saying that we are exempt from liability, and the money we handle comes and goes, it is inevitable that we will use the money as money. This is not allowed! What we use is the client's money.
Money is earned through the hard work of our customers. Although profits and losses are commonplace, we should not be disdainful of money."
Wei Xiangli read it several times and whispered: "There is no Xia Ji..."
"If not, then there won't be. His family can't make big waves." Leng Ningyun didn't care.
"We originally had 150,000. Eunuch Yang wanted to withdraw 100,000 tomorrow and the remaining 50,000 were left. Mr. Li gave another 30,000 taels. The 80,000 silver can be redeemed at any time." Mr. Liu calculated it and learned from his colleagues.
A total of 120,000 taels of silver were borrowed. Although these were Delong's notes and could not be exchanged, at least the same amount of liquidity was eliminated, causing the run pressure faced by Delong to suddenly decrease.
"... Based on this estimate, even if there is a run after the opening, the existing reserves are more than enough. The tickets we issued are only more than 300,000. Now 120,000 have been withdrawn, and tomorrow Eunuch Yang will withdraw another 100,000.
, even if all the rest comes to demand payment, it will only be one hundred thousand."
As soon as General Manager Liu finished speaking, everyone present showed expressions of relief. Although Leng Ningyun kept cheering them up and some "good news" came from time to time, the lack of capital was an indisputable fact. Now Shopkeeper Leng actually
Pulling out teeth from the tiger's mouth, forcefully forcing Shanxi House to borrow such a large sum of money, Delong is safe and sound.
After everyone dispersed, Wu Kaidi was still worried and asked: "Sir, the shopkeeper Shen of Xia Ji refuses to lend money, could it be that..."
"You're right, he has a lot to do with this matter. Today I tried a question about Steward Qiao, and his expression changed. In my opinion, Steward Qiao has probably been silenced by him."
