Chapter 445: Grandmaster
Lu Songli smiled at his father and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Lord Lu. You can go ahead and do it."
After hearing this, Lu Desheng left happily to do something.
Xue Xu thought about it and followed to help.
Half an hour later, Xue Xu pointed to the charges listed by Lu Desheng on the paper and said, "Master Lu, are you sure you want to accuse Xie Zhan'an of such a serious crime?"
Lu Desheng glanced at him and said, "If you want to do something big, do it. It's boring to do small things."
"Alright." Since Sixth Madam Qin had just decided to let Lord Lu do it, she must have thought of a foolproof plan. Even if Lord Lu got out of hand, Sixth Madam Qin would have his back.
At the same time, Xue Xu also shed tears for Xie Zhan.
Shu County, Jincheng
A small banquet is being held in a hidden mountain villa somewhere in the southern suburbs.
Several heavyweights were present, with Xie Zhan sitting in the first seat, and Qiao Xitong, Hu Jiangyi, Liao Xuewang and Gu Huaisheng kneeling on both sides.
It can be seen that everyone was in high spirits at the banquet, and even some of those with less experience couldn't help showing a smug look on their faces.
This time, the four of them joined forces and raised a total of eight million taels to set up the scheme.
Xie Zhan took the lead and contributed two million, accounting for the majority, while the others each contributed one and a half million taels.
Now, the whole situation was entering its final stages. Gusu had already sold all its goods at high prices, making a huge profit. Now, all that was left was to finish off the situation in Shu.
Liao Xuewang toasted everyone present and said, "In Gusu, my mission is completed, and now it's up to you." He is a big silk merchant and his home base is in Gusu.
Qiao Xitong smiled as he held his glass of wine and said, "Don't worry, everything is going smoothly in Shu. Brocade merchants are all competing to sell their goods at low prices."
"That's true. Shu is now in a mess. Brocade merchants are like headless flies, trying to sell off their goods, but there is no demand." Hu Jiangyi is very satisfied with the current situation.
They stepped forward and bought all the goods that the brocade merchants were selling at 20% of the previous market price. These brocade merchants were very grateful to them.
Liao Xuewang smacked his lips and said, "It seems that these Shu brocade merchants are completely indifferent now. As long as someone is willing to take it over, they will sell it for money."
Gu Huaisheng just sat there drinking quietly without saying a word.
Xie Zhan raised his glass and smiled faintly, "It's human nature to chase rising prices and sell when prices fall."
Finally, Comrade Qiao Xi said proudly, "We have already purchased more than half of the goods in Shu. Some brocade merchants are still holding on, but I believe they won't be able to hold on for much longer under the current circumstances."
After saying that, he raised his glass again and said, "Come, let's toast to the Patriarch."
A few of them took the opportunity to drink another glass.
"This Gaomin liquor sold by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is really strong!" Qiao Xitong stared at the clear liquor in the glass for a while, and suddenly said, "Master Xie, when are we going to take action against the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce?"
The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is so profitable that it makes people jealous.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire banquet fell silent.
Gu Huaisheng glanced at him.
Xie Zhan paused holding the wine glass.
Hu Jiangyi gave Qiao Xi the same look, signaling him to be quiet. Don't ask, just ask, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has its founder. They're just copying their scheme, and now they're targeting them. Isn't that like challenging someone else's plan?
At this time, Xie Zhan spoke up, "Master Qiao, why are you already thinking about the next meal before you've even finished eating all the meat?"
Qiao Xitong smiled awkwardly and raised his glass. "It's the strong wine. I'm drunk and just talked nonsense. Please don't blame me, Patriarch Xie."
Ji's Money House Jincheng Branch
The bank was almost closing time and there were not many people there.
The shopkeeper Ji Guangkuan paced back and forth in the lobby on the second floor.
Ji Guangkuan is Ji Wuyin's cousin. Because of this blood relationship and his own ability, he was entrusted with an important task and sent to Jincheng to take charge of the local bank branch.
The crisis facing Jincheng Bank was truly inexplicable; it could only be described as a fire in the city gates that affected the fish in the pond. He had already written to his uncle as fast as he could. Now he didn't know when he would reply, nor did he know if there was any good way to save himself.
Seeing his shopkeeper still pacing around, the waiter wanted to ask him if it was time to close the shop and go home. He was hungry.
At this moment, the shopkeeper's son came down from upstairs, "Dad, come quickly!"
Ji Guangkuan's eyes lit up, and then he hurried upstairs.
"Dad, the pigeon you've been waiting for is here."
"Dad knows, don't tell anyone else about this."
Not long after, Ji Guangkuan came down.
The waiter at the money shop noticed that his boss seemed to be more energetic?
Ji Guangkuan asked the waiter to close the door and close the shop.
The waiter thought he could go home, but unexpectedly, the owner of his house waited for him to close the door and then called for him to follow him.
On the way, Ji Guangkuan bought two sesame cakes and gave one to the waiter.
The waiter took a bite and asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Qi's house first."
Ji Guangkuan planned to personally visit each of the owners who owed money to their bank.
Qi Shaoguang started howling as soon as he saw Ji Guangkuan, "Shopkeeper Ji, please stop pushing me. I really don't have any money."
All his money had been exchanged for raw materials such as silk cocoons and raw silk, which were then turned into Shu brocade. They were all piled up and had become worthless.
Now many of his peers are selling off their goods at low prices, and he can't hold on any longer. He is thinking about whether he should sell them all and get as much profit as possible. At least it can fill the hole, right?
"Boss Qi, I know you're having a hard time, but you should also understand the difficulties our bank faces, right? When you first asked to borrow money, our bank was very forthcoming. We've had a very pleasant cooperation over the years."
"Wait a couple of days. Once I've cleared out the goods I have, I'll definitely return some of the money to you."
"Boss Qi, I have a suggestion. Do you think it's feasible?"
Qi Shaoguang looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"Can you pay my bill with the goods in your warehouse? That saves you from having to sell them off and then pay me back."
Qi Shaoguang looked at him in surprise, "You're actually willing to accept these goods at this time?"
Shopkeeper Ji sighed, "I have no choice. I guess you still can't pay me back, so I can only ask for the goods. At least I can get something in return, right?"
Qi Shaoguang's eyes darkened. It turned out that Ji Guangkuan was worried that they wouldn't return the money they got from selling the goods to the bank. He thought...
