Suzhou.

It was already the third day, but a tea shop in Suzhou City was still lit up.

I saw more than ten Shanxi merchants sitting in the small hall.

The one in the middle is Hu Du, who had just arrived from Weihui Mansion.

Originally, he planned to come here early, because a long time ago, he reached a secret cooperation with Guo Dan, which was about Jiangnan.

However, due to Guo Dan's subsidy plan, there were many borrowers in Weihui Mansion, and he could only stay in Weihui Mansion to preside over the overall situation. Unexpectedly, there was no problem with Weihui Mansion, but Jiangnan had problems first, so he hurried to Jiangnan.

"Brother Hu, I'm so lucky to have you this time!"

A young Shanxi businessman said: "After the new tariff law was promulgated, many people wanted to borrow money to open workshops, and we really had to lend them to them at that time. Fortunately, Brother Hu sent a letter and told us that things were not that simple, so we didn't do this."

The other Shanxi merchants also nodded.

"Not only that, Brother Hu also introduced such a sure-making transaction to us. Thank you, thank you."

"Oh...but it's not that easy to get the interest back now!"

At the beginning, Guo Dan promised to lend the tea houses of Shanxi merchants to lend money, and he paid the principal and gave them all the interest as a reward.

Anyone is willing to do this business.

It's really a sure profit without losing money.

"Is that true?" Hu Du frowned and said, "It seems that the situation here is very bad now."

"Not it? All the money you gave us has been borrowed, but now it seems that it is really difficult to collect it."

"Now there are debt-compulsing everywhere. If we go too late, we may really not be able to get the debt back."

"Brother Hu, what should we do now?"

......

Hu Du just nodded slightly and pondered for a moment, "I don't know what to do next, so let's wait and see first. If he and Guo Dan can afford to pay the capital, then our interest is nothing."

"That's right, there's not much interest. But if we can know what Guo Dan wants to do in advance, we might be able to drink it with a sip of soup."

Now that they are playing so much, these Shanxi merchants are not satisfied with this little interest, and they also want to take advantage of the situation.

Hu Du shook his head and sighed: "You have never dealt with Guo Dan. You don't know how good he is. This person is unpredictable to his work, and he eats people and does not spit out bones. We only make money for him and let us make money. If we make other plans, we may be swallowed up by him."

......

Capital City!

Yinuoya!

"Miss."

Xiao An came to the president's office in a humble manner.

"What's up?"

Kou Weisha put down a piece of information and looked up and asked Xiao An.

Xiao An said nervously: "Miss, there may be some problems with the acquisition of shares."

Kou Weisha frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

"At first, we acquired shares less than one cent according to the eldest lady's request, and it went very smoothly. We used 8,000 taels to acquire about one million shares, but recently, many people have been buying our Yakushang with one cent."

"Did you find out who it is?" Kou Weisha asked hurriedly.

Xiao An shook his head and said, "The other party seems to intend to conceal his identity, and we have not yet found out."

Kou Weisha pondered for a moment and said, "Is there anyone selling shares over there now?"

Xiao An hurriedly said: "It's very rare recently, and there are almost no one in the past two or three days."

Kou Weisha nodded and said, "You immediately sell the shares we acquired at a price of 50% in batches. Remember, don't let people know that we are selling the shares."

"Yes, I get it."

"By the way!"

Kou Weisha suddenly asked, "How is the warehouse arranged in Tianjin Wei?"

Xiao An hurriedly said: "We have already freed up a large number of warehouses in Tianjin Wei, and even 100,000 items can be stored."

"That's good, you can make arrangements quickly."

After Xiao An went out, Kou Weisha leaned back and said thoughtfully: "If the other party really saw the purpose of his husband, even if it was 50% off, he would definitely acquire it. But if no one continued to acquire it, it should be the old fox, because only he knew nothing about it."

......

Liu family.

"Uncle Master, what's going on?"

Song Jingsheng questioned Liu Zongcheng with an anxious look on his face.

He is now facing great pressure in the court!

Liu Zongcheng said in a trepidated manner: "Sir, please calm down. Caomin is starting to investigate the matter, but the specific reason has not yet been determined."

Song Jingsheng said angrily: "I remember last time I asked you, what you said, it's been so long, why haven't you investigated it clearly?"

Liu Zongcheng thought to himself, you can't find out, do you have the nerve to ask me? But he is an official, he is not, and said: "Reporting to the master, although Caomin has not found out what is wrong with it, Caomin knows that the money house in Weihui Mansion still has a large amount of deposits."

Song Jingsheng asked, "How do you know?"

Liu Zongcheng said: "For the past month, Caomin has been sending silver from the capital to Weihui Mansion, and then transporting the silver back to the capital and then remitting it. The 100,000 taels of money have been remitted back and forth, and the Weihui Mansion Money House has been asking for it, which shows that Weihui Mansion has very sufficient deposits."

Song Jingsheng frowned, "What can this mean?"

Liu Zongcheng said: "In other words, Guo Dan actually did not take out too much money, but his subsidy was real money. From this, it can be inferred that his subsidy plan is likely to lose very little, and may even make money."

"Make money? How is this possible?"

Song Jingsheng's eyes widened: "You are too seldom, do you think this is possible?"

Liu Zongcheng shook his head and said, "Caomin doesn't know how Guo Dan works at this moment, but... but judging from the current situation, it is very likely."

Song Jingsheng frowned, "If this is the case, it would be bad." He said to Liu Zongcheng again: "You must find out the matter immediately."

"Yes, Caomin got it."

After Song Jingsheng left, Fu Si walked in, "Master, there is someone selling 100,000 shares at the prize pool hall today for a price of 50 cents."

"One minute five?"

Liu Zongcheng frowned and said, "How many shares have we acquired now?"

"Six million shares."

"Forget it."

Liu Zongcheng sighed and said, "It's a turbulent time now, so we have to leave some money for ourselves."

Fu Si nodded and said, "Master, why did Mr. Song come here just now?"

"What else can I do?"

Liu Zongcheng sighed and said, "It seems that they are already in trouble."

Fu Si said: "Master, we have to guard against Guo Dan now!"

Liu Zongcheng nodded with frown.

......

Imperial City.

"Xing'anbo."

Xu Mengchong, who had just left the imperial city, turned his head and saw Zhang Yuangong coming over and bowing, "It turned out to be the Duke of England."

Zhang Yuangong came to Xu Mengchong and asked casually: "How is Xing'an Bo's life recently?"

Xu Mengchong said, "Isn't it the same as before?"

Zhang Yuangong said sarcastically: "I am worthy of being Xing'an Bo. My family is a big business. I still live freely under these strong winds and waves!"

Xu Mengchong heard something from him and said, "Where, where, compared to the British Duke, what is my little family business worth."

"I can't compare with you!"

Zhang Yuangong sighed: "Ah... I have suffered heavy losses since the implementation of the new tariff law. I can't sell my own food and wine, and other goods are rising prices. In a short time, I may not be able to afford even a decent piece of clothing."

A trace of worry flashed in Xu Mengchong's eyes, and he remained silent.

Zhang Yuangong glanced at Xu Mengchong and saw that he was hesitant, so he whispered: "Xing'an Bo, it's already this time. If we don't unite, our days in the future may be even more sad."

Xu Mengchong glanced at him and sighed: "Yes! It's hard for anyone to live a good life now!"

But there was helplessness in his tone.

He actually didn't want to participate in this matter, but this person had no choice but to do so. If the powerful and powerful people were walking around, winning over others and opposing the new tariff law, if he didn't choose a sideline, he would be abandoned by this class.

He at least has to express his opinion.
