Such a friendly invitation is quite rare.
Upon entering the carriage, a refreshing fragrance immediately filled the air. The scent was completely different from that of Chu Chuyan, clearly belonging to Qin Wanru.
Zuan recalled the scent he had smelled in that courtyard before. It was clearly an expensive incense, but he felt nauseous no matter how he smelled it. The scent he smelled now was much more pleasant.
Seeing him twitch his nostrils slightly, Qin Wanru frowned; this guy really had no manners.
However, for a woman, it's still difficult to feel aroused if her fragrance is appreciated by a man.
She snorted, startling the other person awake: "Before Chu Yan left, she repeatedly told me to trust you. Although I still don't understand why she trusts you so much, I believe Chu Yan wouldn't speak without reason."
"You acted as the middleman in the Wei family's affairs, so there's no need to hide what we talked about from you."
Zu An felt a warmth in his heart, never expecting that his wife, Chu Yan, would be so considerate of him. So he respectfully said, "Thank you, Madam."
Qin Wanru then continued, "The Wei family offered to provide us with a loan at an interest rate of 8.8%."
Zuan astutely grasped the key point: "How much loan can they provide?"
“Infinite,” Qin Wanru said.
“Infinite?” Zaun was taken aback.
“That’s right, they can provide as much as we want.” Qin Wanru’s voice also carried a hint of shock, clearly amazed by the Wei family’s wealth.
"Does his family own a mine?!" Zu'an was speechless with astonishment.
"It must be a spokesperson for some high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital," Qin Wanru analyzed.
“If it’s true, this interest rate is really reasonable,” Zuan said.
An 8.8% interest rate was considered low even in my previous life. Although the benchmark interest rate for banks was only around 6%, very few people could actually get a loan at that rate; usually, only those with very strong connections could do so. Most businesses would be grateful to get a loan at a 12% interest rate.
Moreover, the Chu family is asking for an astronomical sum of money this time.
Therefore, from any perspective, the conditions offered by the Wei family this time can be described as extremely generous.
Qin Wanru sighed: "If only it were that simple, but they need our Chu family's salt fields as collateral. I'm worried that this is a conspiracy of theirs, trying to take advantage of the situation to seize our salt fields."
