Chapter 2733 The Capital (86)

Leng Ningyun smiled and said: "That's what I say, we must not lift the table until the last moment. After all, we are all eating at this table. As long as they understand it rationally and use it to benefit, they will naturally agree."

"But, isn't this the same as counterfeit banknotes..." Wu Kaidi was confused for a moment because he did not have a financial background, "We can't tell whether the person who came to exchange the money was sent by Shanxi House."

"So we have to negotiate and let them come up with money to help us deal with this run."

Wu Kaidi's mouth was wide open. Although he had been working with Leng Ningyun for many years, after all, he was separated by mountains, and there were some things that he still couldn't understand.

"Proprietor! This is 10,000+ silver! It takes several trucks just to transport it! Lend it to us for no reason? Even if it is a loan, there must be interest!"

"As long as I can convince them to borrow money, it's a trivial matter." Leng Ningyun has recovered somewhat at this moment.It was probably the boredom of doing nothing for dozens of days that stimulated him, and he seemed extremely excited at the moment.It was freezing outside, and there was only a brazier in the house. He was still wearing only a thin silk cotton jacket, pacing back and forth in the house.

"You make a list for me. Make a list of all Shanxi House's Lingdong shopkeepers and big shopkeepers, and also write down the thresholds behind them." Leng Ningyun already had a plan in mind, "You can prepare another letter. Send a generous gift to Mr. Liu of Shuntian Prefecture, saying thank you for taking care of him these days. Ask him to unblock it as soon as possible. You can withdraw the money you need from your account. "

"This is easy, I'll do it when I get back." Wu Kai said authentically.

"One more thing. After you return to Delong, ask people to clean the house, prepare the sedan and horses, and say hello to the place. I will return to Delong with great fanfare the day after tomorrow. All Delong guys will be there as long as they have nothing to do."

"Here." Wu Kai understood what the master meant.Doing business depends on one's credit strength.Leng Ningyun has disappeared without any reason these days, which has had a great impact on his business reputation. Now that he is back, everyone must know about it.

On December 29, the ninth year of Chongzhen (January 1637, 1), it was the day of the twelfth lunar month, and it snowed heavily in the capital.The world is tough, but in the best place in the world, the New Year atmosphere is still quite strong.

On this day, many shops have been closed, letting the guys go back to attend to the New Year's Eve celebrations.Many yamen have also been sealed and suspended.Every household, as long as they haven't finished their last meal, are preparing for the New Year.The falling snowflakes also covered the dilapidated houses and dirty streets, and they were decorated with silver, waiting for the arrival of Chongzhen in ten years.

In front of Delong Bank, the street has been swept clean. Although the closed door still has the seal of Shuntian Mansion, a brand new lantern has been hung. The word "Delong" in Song Dynasty in Chinese ink is very eye-catching in the white snow. .

In front of the house on the other side, the door is open for more than 20 days. Two huge lanterns hang in front of the door. One is "Leng Zhai" in Song font, and the other is inscribed "Jiansheng".The latter was specially donated by the Foreign Intelligence Service from the Nanjing Imperial College for Leng Ningyun.

Even though he was just a "supervisor" who was ridiculed by the imperial examination, even the wealthy people in the capital had to be polite when they saw Leng Ningyun.

The stewards, shopkeepers, clerks, and guards of the mansion and the bank all put on brand-new clothes, and stood in front of the door with their chests and belly stretched out.Yamen sent by Shuntian Prefecture were on hand to maintain order.The crowd of spectators filled half of the street.

I saw a servant in green clothes running quickly from the street, saying repeatedly: "Coming, coming!"

Following his shout, the servants immediately lit up the firecrackers. 36 large "Spring on the Ground" firecrackers and six red whips with [-] characters were lit together, making it crackling and lively.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a blue cloth sedan carried by four people, surrounded by escorts from Heliansheng Escort Agency, slowly came from the street.

Sitting upright in this sedan chair was none other than Leng Ningyun himself.

It has only been more than 20 days since I was tricked into leaving Delong that day, but these 20 days seem to have been endless. Now that I am back on this street, looking at the street scene outside, it feels like a world away.

If I hadn't been greedy for success and worked as the cold boss with peace of mind, how could I have suffered such a big hardship.In the final analysis, it is still "greedy".

I recall that when I first entered the financial industry, my mentor said that success in this industry is also "greedy", and failure is also "greedy".If you don't have enough greed and ambition for money, you won't be able to do this business; but this kind of greed will often lead people into a situation of eternal destruction.

However, that note was too tempting, and this person knew the Senate too well.Under this bait, probably no veteran can resist the temptation.

This Mr. Le is so mysterious.Leng Ningyun was suspected more than once during his capture that he was a time traveler similar to Hale.

But after several encounters, it doesn’t seem like it.

He is very young, but extremely experienced; knowledgeable but quite ignorant; he seems to know the Senate very well, but he has many wrong interpretations of them.

"What a mysterious man." Leng Ningyun thought to himself.

Next, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the Political Security Bureau will probably send troops to the capital to investigate the matter. The origin of this person must be the focus of the investigation.

He had already talked with Li Rufeng at the Luoma Inn and roughly understood some of the things that had happened these days.Although he has not met Min Zhanlian and has not read the relevant reports, based on the information currently available, the person who kidnapped him is most likely a member of the "Shi Weng Group".And this mysterious young man should be a core figure in the group.

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to do next." He thought silently.The sedan stopped, and the young man opened the sedan curtain and came over in confusion.

"Master, please get off the sedan chair."

Leng Ningyun Surong bowed down to hold the boy's arm and got out of the sedan.Snowflakes were falling from the sky like flakes, and as far as the eye could see, a sheet of crystal white snow covered up the swamp on the street and made the originally smelly air fresh and pleasant.

He took a deep breath of the cold air and said with a smile: "What a heavy snow!"

"Yes!" He said with a smile, "It will be a good year with auspicious snow, next year will be a good year!"

There was a commotion among the idle people watching. Some shouted auspicious words such as "Master Leng is auspicious, auspicious people and heaven", hoping to ask for a few rewards, while others shouted at the top of their lungs: "Master, please show mercy, don't let it go." My silver”.

No matter what the words were, Leng Ningyun ignored them and walked up to the two escort chiefs He Liansheng and said, "Thank you both for your efforts this time."

"This is what I should do." Li Rufeng was very respectful, "This is my good fortune."

Liao Sanniang didn't say anything, she just felt deeply blessed.

Then he walked to the two assistant managers, Xiao and Wei, the general accountant and other "executives".The general accountant immediately led everyone to bow and salute: "Welcome the master back home!"

Leng Ningyun did not speak, but nodded with a smile.Xiao and Wei were terrified - after all, when the incident first broke out, they were not firm in their stance and had the idea of ​​"jumping off the ship".There are many people who know about these things. Will Mr. Leng deal with him like this when he comes back?
Now the boss is no longer angry, but smiles back, which makes a few people feel more and more mysterious.

Leng Ningyun strode into the mansion. The female family members in the mansion, led by He Xiang and Yan Hong, greeted him at the steps of the flower hall. When they saw him walking into the courtyard, He Xiang's legs became weak and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, bursting into tears.

The crying didn't matter, even Yan Hong and the other maidservants started crying.

Leng Ningyun smiled and said, "Why are you crying! Haven't I come back fine now?" After saying that, he helped the two of them up and ordered everyone to get up.

Wukai sighed: "The two girls have been worried day and night since there is no news about the master. They are on duty every day and stay up all night just to get the news in time! The two girls also made a wish for Bai Zhai, but the master has not come back safely. Before, there was no salt in meals..."

Leng Ningyun looked at the two girls with haggard faces and felt very sorry.He said: "Why bother! You are ruining your body like this. Can I come back safely without eating salt? It's ruining my body!"

Immediately, he ordered people to help them back to the room and get some glucose salt water to drink.He himself returned to the "Yi Qian Zhai" where he usually works.

This hall is where he commands the entire Delong Capital Branch.Here he gives orders and allocates funds.

It has been vacant since he was kidnapped.The furnishings in the room remained unchanged, and even the letters and account books on his desk remained untouched.

I twisted it lightly with my fingers, but there was no dust at all.There are several pots of narcissus on the table and several clusters of flowers. Some are in bud and some are in full bloom. The whole house is filled with fragrance.A large plate of Buddha's hand is still shiny with yellow oil.

Apparently, when he left, the place was being cleaned every day.Maintain the original appearance.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel secretly moved and a little apologetic.There are hundreds of people in the Delong Jingshi branch, and their food, clothing, and safety all depend on him.You are so reckless!

Thinking about it, I still haven't gotten over the shadow of the original "anti-encirclement and suppression escape", and I have always wanted to prove my "bravery and fearlessness".

While he was reflecting, Wu Kaidi came up with a tea cup and asked: "Master, everyone is waiting for your instructions..."

"Well," he nodded, "please tell everyone, whether they are from the inner house or the bank, everyone should perform their duties at their posts and sort out the work at hand. Especially the people in the bank, do a good job these days Preparations for opening the business. I met with them one after another in the past two days.

"Everyone from He Liansheng, except Li, Liao and the nursing staff, please go back first. I will thank you very much soon."

"Yes."

"Please invite Li and Liao in first."

Although it is not an urgent matter, this crisis and Lian Sheng contributed the most, and there were also casualties.Competitive rewards should be given as soon as possible to avoid chilling people's hearts.
