Chapter 597 United Front (two in one chapter)(1/3)
What Marseille pursues is speed and excitement.
In the blink of an eye, the highly anticipated finals came to an end.
It's so fast that many people can't react.
I saw that the racetrack was empty, but there were still many people sitting around. They held the horse ticket tightly in their hands, their eyes were so empty.
None of them expected despair to come so quickly.
For them, maybe this indicates that everything is over.
They lost everything, not just all the savings in the family, but maybe even their wives and children.
Maybe someone can revive the dead with the last fight, but that person will never be you, but someone else.
They have fallen into endless despair.
Many people raised their heads and looked at the blue sky. At this time, only God could save them.
Maybe God has really come!
......
On the other side, Guo faded out of the racecourse and rode a carriage to Yinuoya Store in Nanjing.
I saw several sedan chairs parked in front of Yaxing’s door. There were horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were mostly mountain roads. Naturally, there were not as many carriages as in the north. More people chose to sit in sedan chairs when traveling.
"Son-in-law! You are here."
"Hello, son-in-law!"
"Hello, son-in-law!"
When Guo Dan got off the carriage, he was warmly welcomed by the staff of the Tooth Bank. Some were sent from Beijing, but more were recruited from Nanjing. This was the first time they saw this legendary son-in-law, and they were all very excited!
This is a man who takes out a million taels!
Moreover, they are the ones who live the most nourishing now.
"Hello everyone!"
Guo Dan nodded and smiled, "I have already booked the Jinyu Tower tonight, and no one of you is allowed to be absent."
A burst of cheers suddenly rang out.
It’s worthy of being a son-in-law, and it’s extraordinary to take action. You should know that Jinyulou is one of the best restaurants in Nanjing. With their little wages, they may never be able to go to Jinyulou for the rest of their lives.
Guo Dan just briefly communicated with them for a few words, and then went to the conference room under Kou Yi's guidance.
I saw a few middle-aged people with big belly sitting in the conference room. When they saw Guo Dan walking in, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"I am Guo Dan! If you want to change it, just like a fake one!"
Guo Dan briefly introduced himself, and then came to the main seat to sit down.
Kou Yi added: "Dear members, this is my son-in-law."
"Oh...you are Guo Dan!"
The man in the left head immediately snorted.
The others also glared at Guo Dan.
It's really jealous when the enemy meets.
Kou Yi whispered to Guo Dan’s ear.
The man who was just talking about the name Sun and named He Tian, was a big landlord in the south of the city.
The other few are also very famous wealthy businessmen and landlords in Nanjing.
Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "From your unfriendly eyes, there should be a big misunderstanding between us."
"Misunderstand?"
Sun Hetian snorted: "What misunderstanding? Do you dare say that our Nanjing is making trouble like this now, and it has nothing to do with you?"
At the beginning of the conversation, the atmosphere was very unpleasant.
How can I be happy after losing so much money?
"Why don't you dare?"
Guo Dan snorted twice and said, "Why can you say that I am the same as the winner? I am also a victim. I will take out one million taels to rescue Weihui Mansion. If there is no new tariff law, will I need to spend this amount?"
A big landlord named Chen Sanyuan said: "We also want to know why you hurt others with your own faults. What is the benefit of this to you?"
They hate this. You took a million taels to kill us. How much hatred do we have against you!
"Everyone knows that harming others with oneself and others is not beneficial. Do I not know such a simple truth?"
Guo Dan snorted, changed the subject, and said, "This money is important, but it is far from life. If I don't save Wei Hui Mansion, my life may be out of order! Think about it, it feels like owing the court hundreds of thousands of taels of taxes."
The big landlords who were sitting were a little bit overwhelmed by Guo Dan.
It seems like this is...
It’s really hard to blame Guo Dan.
Guo Dan may be the biggest victim!
Guo Dan coughed lightly: "Everyone, I had wanted to come to Nanjing City for a long time, but I didn't dare, because a month ago, many people went to Yangzigou to cause trouble for me. I was very puzzled by this, why are you targeting me? Like you, I am also victims. We should stand on the same front, why do we have to kill each other? You might as well think about it carefully. Isn't this very strange?"
"What's so strange about this."
Sun Hetian said stubbornly: "If your Wei Hui Mansion had not sold a large amount of goods to my Nanjing, how could this happen?"
Guo Dan said: "First of all, those goods have little to do with me. They were done by merchants from Weihui Mansion. Secondly, the goods from Weihui Mansion were also sold to Nanjing in the past, and we were all in peace at that time."
"Okay! OK!"
Chen Sanyuan waved his hand and said, "What's the use of talking about these now? Why are you asking us to come today?"
“It’s still useful.”
Guo Dan smiled slightly and said, "We are not enemies, nor are we opponents. We are all victims. We should stand together and work together to solve difficulties. If we still spread out and fight each other continuously, I can't stand it, and you can't stand it either."
The fat man with a big belly on Guo Dan's right said, "If we can solve the difficulties, of course we are willing to work together."
Sun Hetian also said: "I don't know what tricks you have to help us solve our difficulties. We are willing to follow your leader!"
There is no sincerity in his tone.
Guo Dan looked around, looked around and smiled bitterly: "I came here today to cooperate with you to solve the current difficulties, but I think you are insincere. Since that's the case, I have nothing to say. Let you go for a waste of time today. I'm here to say sorry to you."
After saying that, he bowed.
Sun Hetian and the others communicated with each other with their eyes.
This is not possible!
After all, they are really in trouble.
Although it is not fatal to them, it is of course better to solve it.
"Your Excellency, if I had no sincerity, we would not have come here today. If there was any offense just now, I hope you can take more responsibility!" Sun Hetian's tone suddenly softened.
The other landlords also showed sincerity.
"Since everyone is sincere, I believe the problem can be solved."
Guo Tian smiled and continued: "The root of all this trouble comes from the new tariff law. We must find a way to get the court to cancel the new tariff law, at least to make adjustments to it."
"With that being said, but..." Chen Sanyuan sighed: "But we can't decide this!"
Guo Dan said: "But at least we have to make a sound!"
"We're experiencing it every day, but when this problem can be solved, it's not something we can control. I don't even know if I can hold on until then."
"Yes, you don't know. We lent a lot of money a while ago, and now we are almost unable to get it back."
"Do you borrow money without collateral?"
"There are collaterals, but those collaterals are now burdens."
"burden?"
"Those collaterals are workshops, but now our own workshops cannot operate. What else do we need to do in those workshops? Do we pay the municipal tax to the court?"
"The government is now focusing on the city tax, which has increased a little more than before."
"If you sincerely help us, you might as well let the merchants from Weihui Mansion transport less goods here."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Guo Dan expectantly.
Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "You should have heard of the Weihui Mansion system. This is not something I can control. If I cancel the subsidy, it would be like going to Weihui Mansion to death. You shouldn't let me sacrifice myself for others."
"Then...what do you think you should do?" Sun Hetian simply threw the problem to Guo Dan.
Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "The problems you are facing at the moment are mostly due to debts. Let's do this, I will pay for your debts."
“Acquiring…acquiring our debt?”
Sun Hetian and the others were confused.
To be continued...
