I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Hao Gong Qianhe fell silent.

She felt a little upset, but knew that she was not qualified to refute the other party, so she could only keep silent.

"As far as I know, the Japanese envoys seem to be buying ancient books and classics in Chang'an, sparing no expense. Princess Qianhe must be very rich."

Li Qingquan took the initiative to speak, staring at Haogong Qianhe, and asked,
"Why do you come to the bank to borrow money because of a mere thousand taels of gold?"

These days, Dongying people are very busy collecting books in Chang'an, and she has also heard that many ancient books are bought in hundreds of taels, which can be said to be rich and powerful.

Even she was a little tempted, and wanted to sell her rare copies of the Chinese version of "The Commandments of Women" and "Biography of Lie Nu", anyway, it would be ashes to stay in the palace, so it would be better to sell them for a few hundred taels of silver Huahua...

Although she is not short of money...

"A mere thousand taels of gold is nothing at all. But because I was thirsty for books, I ran out of gold and silver, so I had to come to the bank to borrow money."

Haogong Qianhe raised his head and said solemnly,
"To be honest, I brought ten thousand taels of gold with me when I came to Tang this time, all of which were used to buy books, and I didn't even save much for my travel expenses back to Dongying."

The woman in the green shirt showed surprise in her eyes.

"Spent tens of thousands of taels of gold to buy books? How thirsty for books!"

she exclaimed,

"Princess Qianhe spent a lot of money to buy books, which is admirable. You will definitely increase your wisdom and broaden your knowledge!"

Li Qingquan also nodded.

No matter who it is, as long as it is a person who cherishes books and values ​​knowledge, he is worthy of respect.

"Your thinking is right. My master once said that books are the ladder of human progress. You can't read too much."

She smiled lightly,

"You already have the reputation of begging for books with thousands of dollars, but now you want more reputations for buying horses with thousands of dollars?"

"Excuse me, who is this hard-earned BMW going to be presented to?"

Haogong Qianhe pursed her lips slightly.

"Do you have to say it?"

she whispered,

"I'm just here to borrow money. There's no need to inquire about such details, right?"

The aura of the woman in front of her made her feel particularly uncomfortable, so she didn't want to cooperate with her.

"You can leave it alone."

Li Qingquan simply nodded and said,

"Then I will evaluate you next."

"You are the princess of Dongying, so it goes without saying that you have a background, so you don't need to worry about it. Although you don't have a proper job and a stable income, I still believe that you have the ability to repay your debts."

Haogong Qianhe's expression changed.

Listening to this...why is it so unpleasant!

Forget it, it's considered approved anyway.

"but--"

Li Qingquan changed his tone and said again,

"The bank has not launched overseas business yet. Dongying is too far away and full of uncertainties. This is a risk."

Haogong Qianhe: "?!"

"What do you mean?"

She said sullenly,
"Do you think that I, the princess of a country, will renege on my debt?"

"Let me tell you! As soon as I return to Dongying, I will immediately prepare the principal and interest, and send someone to Datang to pay back the money! I don't want to be in debt!"

What this woman said was too annoying!
It made her look like she was going to run away with money!
"Princess Qianhe, don't be angry..."

The green-clothed woman quickly comforted her,
"The shopkeeper is not targeting you. She always does this when assessing risks. There is no emotion."

"Don't take it to heart..."

Li Qingquan glanced at her.

"I naturally believe that Princess Qianhe will not renege. After all, you represent Dongying, and Dongying will never do such a thing as long as it wants to have diplomatic relations with my Tang Dynasty."

She still said emotionally,
"However, when it comes to overseas business, I have to consider emergencies."

"look--"

As he spoke, Li Qingquan took out a small notebook from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and shook it in front of Haogong Qianhe.

"This Hu merchant from the Western Regions is called Qihe, and he borrowed 3000 taels of silver from Fenglei Bank to expand the caravan and make more profits."

she said,

"But when he was doing business in the Gobi Desert, he encountered a sandstorm and the entire caravan was wiped out."

"Naturally, the bank's 3000 taels of silver went to waste and became a bad debt."

"To make up for this shortfall, the only way I can now is to accept his assets in Chang'an to repay the debt. Even so, the bank still lost several hundred taels in the end."

"I was deeply ashamed, and since then, I have made a rule."

Haogong Qianhe: "..."

Her face grew stiffer.

What do you mean... I will also be in danger, the whole army will be wiped out? !
"Any overseas business must have collateral, otherwise the loan will not be granted."

Li Qingquan saw that Haogong Qianhe's face turned dark, but he still said calmly,
"Princess Qianhe has to cross the ocean to return to Dongying. The risk is similar to that of the Gobi merchants, or even greater! Therefore, you must have collateral before the bank can lend you money."

Haogong Qianhe: "!!!"

"If I have collateral, I can sell it directly. Why do I need to borrow money from your bank?"

She was trembling with anger at Li Qingquan's words, she slapped the table and said,
"Do you do business like this?!"

"It's really... ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

Li Qingquan smiled slightly.

"This is how the bank business has always been done."

she said,

"If you don't agree, just go out, there's no need to talk nonsense."

She has seen many people like Haogong Qianhe, including those who play tricks and play tricks, but Li Qingquan never takes it seriously.

Qianzhuang, not Shantang!
No matter who you are, even if you are the emperor himself, you still have to conduct a risk assessment.

If the evaluation fails, the loan will not be approved!This is the rule!

Swish!
Haogong Qianhe flicked his sleeves, stood up and stared at Li Qingquan, and said coldly:
"As far as I know, this bank was opened by Xu Guogong Xu Fenglei, right? You are just a shopkeeper, not the boss."

"I also have friendship with Xu Guogong, even he treats me with extra courtesy, but you are so rude! If I tell him what happened today, hehe..."

Li Qingquan chuckled.

This little princess from Japan is still threatening?
Do you really regard us as 'beating workers'?

"friendship?"

She said with great interest,
"You just came to Datang not long ago, how did you develop friendship with our boss? Tell me about it."

Haogong Qianhe snorted coldly.

"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to know that, speaking of it, I'm still Xu Guogong's half-disciple!"

she said,

"You'd better not make things difficult for me. It's not like I haven't been to Xu Guogong's mansion!"

Hearing the word "boss", Hao Gong Qianhe became more certain of his guess——

The woman in front of her is only a little bit higher than the green shirt woman, not the mistress of Fenglei Bank!
Naturally, you don't have to be so polite to a wage earner!Maybe if I threatened a few words, both true and false, the other party would soften.

In fact, with her intelligence and self-esteem, she shouldn't be like this...

But for some reason, when she met this woman in front of her, she became a little irritable, and wanted to fight back when she was bullied!
It's like meeting a natural enemy...

"Ha - okay, okay."

Li Qingquan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile,

"I won't make things difficult for you, princess Dongying, how dare I offend a small bank manager like me?"

Having said that, the light smile on her face was quite playful.

The face is short of writing 'I offended you, what's the matter? 'A few large characters...

"However... Princess Qianhe, the pledge must be there."

Li Qingquan continued,

"I know that all your money has been used to buy books, and it is impossible to use those ancient books as collateral."

"Well... how about it! This pearl necklace around your neck seems pretty good, can you show it to me?"

Haogong Qianhe: "?!"

She subconsciously held the pearl necklace around her neck, and looked at Li Qingquan warily.

"No, this is given to me by my mother, and it is a treasure handed down from generation to generation!"

She vetoed firmly,
"This must not be used as collateral!"

What a joke!This pearl necklace is taken from the pearls of the North Sea. The 24 pearls are round and smooth, and the most rare thing is that they are almost the same size.

After decades of picking the best pearls from the North Sea, these 24 pearls were selected and dedicated to the emperor of Dongying, who in turn bestowed them on the queen at that time.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, and in her hands, it is already considered a half-piece of Japan's national treasure!

She would never leave this string of pearl necklaces even if she was killed!
"Is that so..."

Li Qingquan shrugged and said,

"To be honest, this pearl necklace doesn't look like it can be worth 1000 taels of gold. I am reluctant to accept it because of your friendship with the boss."

"Since you don't want to, forget it."

"As for the loan... there is nothing I can do to help you, Qing'er, see off the guests."

As soon as the voice fell, she turned and left without dragging her feet.

Only Haogong Qianhe stood where he was, his eyes wanting to breathe fire.

Not worth a thousand dollars?
Who are you insulting!This pearl necklace is a peerless unique item, even if someone bids 1 taels, she won't change it, okay?

"Eyes without pearls!"

She cursed secretly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey, Princess Qianhe..."

The girl in the green shirt hurriedly grabbed her, and comforted her,

"Don't worry... Our shopkeeper has such a temper. If someone gives you the nickname of the female Hades, it will be as if the Hades judged you when you start a business. That's merciless!"

"Don't be angry. In fact, she has let go. As long as you mortgage this pearl necklace, the 1000 taels of gold can be loaned to you..."

Hao Gong Qianhe stared.

"Absolutely impossible!"

she annoyed,
"This is a gift from my mother. It is a national treasure! Let alone 1000 taels of gold, I won't exchange it even for 1 taels!"

"There are no doors!"

"Farewell!"

After that, she lifted her foot angrily to leave.

"oops!"

The girl in blue stopped Haogong Qianhe again, and tried to persuade her,
"It's not for you to sell, it's just a mortgage!"

"When you pay off the money, this treasure will naturally return to your hands. Don't worry, our Fenglei Bank's safekeeping business is also the best in Datang. Our warehouse is next to Jingzhao Mansion. There are dedicated personnel to take care of it, and there will never be any mistakes."

"With your financial resources, you don't have to worry about repaying the money at all. It's just going back and forth... In a few months at most, you can settle the loan and return it to the original owner!"

Haogong Qianhe's face softened a little.

"I'm telling the truth, don't worry about it."

The woman in the green shirt said seriously,

"If the distinguished guest you are going to visit is really important and you must give a gift now, then you can reluctantly pledge it."

"If it's not that important, or it's okay next time, then don't hesitate, and let's talk about it next time when you come to Datang, the future will last forever!"

Hao Gong Qianhe fell silent.

next time?

Does she have a second chance to come to Datang?
Maybe...but maybe not again.

Opportunity, often only once, fleeting...

Hao Gong Qianhe caressed the pearl necklace on his chest, and his heart fell into infinite entanglement.

The girl in blue was not in a hurry, she just patiently waited for her to make a decision.

A loan of 1000 taels of gold!Either don't open this order, or it will be enough for her to eat for half a year!

Be patient with such a big fish...

After half an hour.

"...That's all!"

Haogong Qianhe took off the necklace from his neck, gritted his silver teeth,
"I'm willing to mortgage! But my ugly words are up front, no damage is allowed!"

"If there is a bump, the compensation of 1 taels of gold is not enough!"

The blue-clothed woman's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"well!"

She continued,
"Don't worry, Qianzhuang will use the top jade box to preserve your treasures, and there will never be any damage, not even a speck of dust!"

After finishing speaking, she took the pearl necklace carefully and held it in the palm of her hand.

"and also."

Haogong Qianhe felt a chill on his neck, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Adapting to the discomfort of losing the necklace, she said displeasedly:
"I don't want to communicate with that woman again. Can you be the master of the next thing?"

I don't want to see that woman's face again!Isn't it just a little subordinate of Xu Fenglei?What does it look like...

"Uh...of course."

The woman in the green shirt glanced at the back room, smiled and nodded,
"As long as our shopkeeper agrees, I will be fully responsible for the rest of the matter."

"Wait a moment."

After that, she got up and walked in, and entered a box.

"Boss shopkeeper, the Dongying princess has agreed to mortgage."

Holding the pearl necklace, the woman in the green shirt tut-tsk said,

"This pearl is so moist and beautiful! It is indeed the best."

Li Qingquan raised his hand slightly and stretched out.

"Look at it."

The girl in blue hurriedly handed it over.

Li Qingquan took the pearl necklace, and there was still a bit of warmth and fragrance on it.

"24 capsules, the grains are plump and round, with bright and attractive luster."

she whispered,

"It is indeed top-grade. Such a pearl necklace is rare in Datang, and only an island country like Dongying can produce such a treasure."

There is no woman who does not love this bling, and she is no exception.

But after playing with it a few times, Li Qingquan sent it back.

"Put it up and give her the loan. How long will she take the loan for?"

she asked.

"Hmm...it seems to be half a year?"

The woman in the green shirt thought for a while, and said,

"It takes about half a year to go back and forth from Chang'an to Dongying."

"Then it will be calculated in one year." Li Qingquan said casually, "One year, four-point interest, after the expiration, a total of 1400 taels of gold will be returned with the principal and interest, you go and tell her."

The girl in blue was taken aback.

"Quarter profit?"

she hesitated,

"Will it be raised? We usually lend out, but it's not so high..."

Li Qingquan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Believe me, those who are willing to use this pearl necklace as collateral don't care about paying a few hundred taels more in interest."

she said,

"People from Dongying... Master hates people from Dongying the most, so I want to earn more from her, so that you can get more commission, right?"

The eyes of the woman in the blue shirt lit up, and she immediately smiled.
