Madam Qin slowly turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Not really. It's just that this is not a small amount of money. We are just listening to her. If something goes wrong... I'm still a little worried."
Wei Mingyue became anxious when she heard this. "Madam, I was with my cousin the entire time she was discussing business! It couldn't be fake. She invested so much money herself. I saw those huge boxes of silver being carried into that room!"
Madam Qin half-closed her eyes. "Then we'll see tomorrow. If she really wants to borrow money from a bank, it won't be too late for us to take action."
Upon hearing this, Wei was filled with admiration. "Old Madam, you are indeed cautious and calculating. I have much to learn from you."
Madam Qin glanced at her and sighed, "I have no choice. After all, these things are our family fortune. We absolutely cannot afford to lose them."
"Yes, I understand. I will listen to you." Mrs. Wei nodded repeatedly.
Wei Mingyue volunteered, "I'll keep a close eye on them these few days, and come back to tell the old lady and aunt as soon as anything happens."
Wei said with relief: "Mingyue is still capable."
Old Madam Qin also nodded.
The next morning, Wei Mingyue arrived at the hall early to wait. When Xie Wanyun came out, she asked, "Which shop are you going to today?"
Xie Wanyun's face was filled with worry. "Why bother looking at shops? I should go find a few banks and see how much money I can borrow. Su Gele, considering our long-term partnership, promised to give me a few more days. If I can't raise the money, he'll sell the goods to someone else. How can I accept that?"
Wei Mingyue winked at her little girl, and the girl turned around and ran away.
Xie Wanyun acted as if he didn't see it, got on the carriage directly, and ordered to go to Wangji Money House first.
Xie Wanyun frowned and said nothing along the way. Wei Mingyue was also very sensible and sat quietly.
When they arrived at Wangji Money House, the clerk told them that the owner had gone out on business.
They rushed to another bank, where the owner was very welcoming, but he asked for a 6% interest rate. Xie Wanyun looked embarrassed, "Boss, this 6% interest rate is too high. Usually it's 3%, and no one has ever paid more than 4%. Can we negotiate it?"
The shopkeeper's head shook like a rattle. "Everyone knows that Madam Xie is wealthy and powerful. Why would she care about such a small amount of money?"
Xie Wanyun hesitated for a moment, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"I'm sorry, it's not that we don't want to reduce the price, but we've been borrowing more money and saving less money lately. We have no choice. Please forgive me, Madam."
Xie Wanyun stood up helplessly and said, "Then let me think about it again."
"Madam, take care. If you need anything, please feel free to come over anytime." The shopkeeper was smiling.
As soon as they left the house, Wei Mingyue said indignantly, "These profiteers are obsessed with money. This is really too much."
Xie Wanyun sighed, "You can't blame him. Businessmen always want to make more profit. Mingyue, I just did a quick calculation. If it's a 6% profit, the profit won't be that big. I'm thinking of just giving up on this deal."
"How can that be possible!" Wei Mingyue was anxious. "Isn't it just capital? The old lady and aunt have it. The deeds to the shops are all mortgaged for money. Isn't it better than borrowing money?"
Xie Wanyun looked embarrassed. "But you saw it yesterday. The old lady was a little worried. Besides, I don't want to take this money. This is the private money of the old lady and the wife. I feel a little guilty..."
"What are you afraid of? This is a business investment, not asking them for money." Wei Mingyue seemed even more anxious than her. If she was influenced by Old Madam Qin yesterday and still had some doubts, today she saw with her own eyes that Xie Wanyun was trying to borrow money everywhere but failed, and she knew that this matter was absolutely true.
"Then - thank you for your hard work, Mingyue. If I make money, I will give you a commission based on the period. I will never let you suffer a loss." Xie Wanyun smiled faintly.
