Chaoge took the gold note handed to her by Helian Xu and clapped it in her hands. She looked at the group of elders who were pushed back a few steps by Helian Xu, and her red lips curled slightly.
"Elders, do you still doubt my strength?"
"No, no, no! No more doubts. It turns out that our gang leader is not only resourceful, but also courageous, knowledgeable, and wealthy! It's our subordinates who are short-sighted. It's our subordinates who are short-sighted!"
"Hahahaha, Mengqiao, do you still remember how you looked down upon the gang leader a few days ago? Do you still have the dignity to say these things now?"
Looking at such a fierce bridge, Helian Xu couldn't help laughing, and suddenly he felt relaxed both physically and mentally!
"Forget it! In front of the gang leader, I am just a subordinate, and subordinates naturally follow the gang leader's lead! What's the use of my old face? When did our Beggars' Sect hide such a local rich man? How come none of us old guys found out?!
Fortunately, the leader of the gang stood out this time. It seems that in the future, even if our Beggars' Gang wants to not prosper, it will be difficult!"
Mengqiao continued to be shameless and said such flattering words. The nine elders and Helian Xu swore that they had never heard him say such a sentence in all their lives.
Suddenly, everyone couldn't help laughing again along with him!
"Elder Meng, stop it. You're really putting a lot of pressure on your old mouth by saying so many nice things. You're the only one saying those nice things. What else can the nine elders say?"
After laughing, Leng Zekang pulled Mengqiao behind him and joked. Upon hearing this, everyone started laughing again.
Jokes aside, after a little laughter, Chaoge finally realized that no matter who it is, a penny can make a hero fall.
Even the high-ranking elders of the Beggars' Sect would be worried when facing the impoverished Beggars' Sect and would not laugh so relaxedly.
If it is true, just as the emperor would use all sorts of means to fill the treasury, what about them?
"Now, you won't have to worry about making money this month, right? You won't have to worry about starting your business, right?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. No wonder you looked down upon the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that our Beggars' Sect had in a year. Now we understand. We understand that you are the one who has the real confidence."
Mengqiao continued to be so shameless that Zhou Yue, Chen Lu and Qiu Ziming standing beside him couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled him back to his chair to stop embarrassing himself.
This Beggars' Sect has probably never had such an atmosphere in this meeting room for hundreds of years.
Looking at the ten elders who were playing and laughing again, Helian Xu had a look of relief on his face, and his heart was already filled with emotion.
"Elder Meng, please don't say such nice things. This is the money I earned from my own business. Although I am the leader of the Beggars' Sect, my money is still mine..."
Chaoge's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring cold water over everyone who were enjoying themselves.
Mengqiao's ingratiating grin froze on his face and he could no longer smile!
"Boss, stop teasing us. If you are like this, why bother to take it out? Are you... trying to laugh at us poor bastards who have never seen money?"
After being shocked, Leng Zekang's face suddenly turned bitter. He looked at Chaoge with a wronged look and started to complain.
Chaoge's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and only Wu Ting was still the same as before. The rest of the elders, like Leng Zekang, had bitter expressions on their faces, and the laughter just now seemed like an illusion.
"I haven't finished my words yet, but isn't what I said true?"
"Then, Boss, what do you want to say? Please stop keeping us in suspense. I am old and weak and I really can't stand your bullying!"
Mengqiao, who was devastated, looked at Chaoge with pleading eyes and said aggrievedly.
"Yes, boss, why are you doing this? You might as well just say it directly. Why do you have to make fun of us, your subordinates?"
"Who said I was joking with you? I'm being frank. It's true that this money is my personal property. Even though I'm the leader of the Beggars' Sect and I get a share of the profits every year, this is from my personal pocket, not from the Beggars' Sect."
"Boss, you don't need to emphasize again and again that you took it out privately. We all saw it with our own eyes. It's yours and it can't escape.
How about this, since you are the richest person in the Beggars' Sect, how about you lend this money to our Beggars' Sect? When the Beggars' Sect's business is established, we will return the money to you without missing a cent. Do you think this is feasible?"
Mengqiao is indeed an old hand. He figured out how to morally blackmail himself so quickly. But this is a full 300,000 taels of gold notes, which is equivalent to 3 million taels of silver.
Who has the nerve to let themselves lend three million taels of silver for nothing?
Even if he is a relative of the Yun family, she might not lend it to him. Mengqiao is really amazing and cunning!
"Elder Meng, you are so unkind. You should at least pay the interest to the gang leader."
Xie Qianrong and Mengqiao were both people who managed Beiping Lu, but he couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing Chaoge didn't say anything, he hurriedly spoke to Mengqiao in a reproachful tone.
Mengqiao suddenly realized, "Right, right, right! Elder Xie is right, the interest cannot be less."
"Who wants your interest? I can lend part of this money to the Beggars' Sect as internal working capital, but I want to invest part of it in all the Beggars' Sect's businesses."
“Investment?!”
Hearing these new words, several elders looked at Chaoge in confusion with suspicion and surprise.
"Boss, what do you mean by investing?"
Xue Rouyan frowned and looked at Chaoge. She felt that their new gang leader was the one with the most clever ideas. After she was happy, she gradually calmed down and remembered that there is no free lunch in this world.
"Elder Xue asked a good question. This investment is just a pretext for you to open a store. However, it requires 100 taels of silver, but you simply cannot come up with 100 taels of silver. You only have 30 taels of silver, and I will pay 70 taels. After deducting the business costs, we will divide the profits.
Of course, if I only pay money and don't do the work, even if you only pay thirty taels of silver, if you do the work, you can still get an extra monthly salary, and the remaining profit will be divided into 30% and 70%, 70% for me and 30% for you."
After saying that, Chaoge looked towards everyone. She didn’t know if there were still some elders who didn’t understand even though she had said it so bluntly.
Although this explanation of hers did give her some advantage, she was the one who came up with the idea, she was the one who provided the business opportunities, and she would even have to supply the goods herself, so she had to maximize her profits.
