Chapter 2739 The Capital (92)

Leng Ningyun returned to the bank, feeling much more confident.

Having Zhongfu Yin's promise is equivalent to the government giving him a letter - at least in the eyes of the people.The key is to make the forces behind the kidnappers fearful.

Although there are many high-ranking officials in the capital, Shuntian Fuyin is one of the most important positions in the capital.Important ministers who are not trusted by the emperor cannot be appointed.

The next thing is to "persuade" the big guys in Shanxi House.

Winter night comes early, just after four o'clock, the sky gradually becomes dark, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard sparsely outside.No matter how bad the year is, there should still be some embellishments.

Delong and the mansion were bustling with activity.The return of Leng Ningyun is a shot in the arm for everyone. Although the staff are unsure of how to deal with the craze after opening on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, with the shopkeeper here, everyone feels that they have a backer.After all, in the past few years of developing the market in the capital, I have experienced many storms, all of which were resolved one by one under the management of the shopkeeper.So people still believe that Leng Ningyun also has this ability.

As for Leng Ningyun, he is actually not particularly confident.Although he has already called the headquarters, he knows that the Field Service Bureau and the Fubo Army Reconnaissance Bureau have sent troops, and they will arrive in Tianjin at the beginning of the year.When the time comes, we will have elite soldiers and generals at our disposal.But he still hopes to solve market problems "peacefully" instead of resorting to murder and arson. Of course, if he really wants to get to this point, he will not hesitate.

For the New Year's Eve dinner that day, he ate in the bank with the shopkeepers, and then returned to the inner house to watch the New Year with his family.

I have celebrated the Chinese New Year in the capital many times, but this time I have a special feeling in my heart.

After the New Year, Leng Ningyun summoned Delong's senior management on the first day of the new year to prepare for the opening.

After the meeting, he left Wu Kaidi alone to discuss fundraising matters.

The government office seals the seal on the third day of the first lunar month, and most businesses open on the fifth day of the first lunar month.Wu Kaidi estimated that Shuntian Mansion would send someone to unseale the seal on the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month.

As for Delong, there is no need to step on the line to open the door.According to the rules, the Bank of the Capital will host a banquet on the fifth day of the lunar month to entertain fellow travelers.Even if we keep in touch with colleagues, we also need to discuss and decide on some important matters in the new year.After this banquet, the money industry is open for business.

This opening meal is a matter of life and death for colleagues in the banking industry.The money industry is different from other industries in that it is "making money with money" and doing business out of nothing.

The deposits and capital of a bank are limited, and when money is tight, it must adjust among its peers.This kind of dispatch includes both long-term borrowing and short-term loans.Through mutual acceptance, remittance and liquidation among various banks, one million of silver in the banking industry can be used as three million.

Things always have two sides, both good and bad.Banks are different from street money stalls or currency exchange shops with only one front. Each bank has at least tens of thousands of capital and tens of thousands of deposits, leveraging hundreds of thousands of business transactions.Once it goes bankrupt, all its peers will suffer losses.

Although people in the same industry are enemies, in the money industry, there is quite a sense of sharing weal and woe.

It is precisely because of this relationship that it is difficult to obtain the qualifications of a public office. Not only does it require a large capital and high threshold, but it also requires the recognition of a majority of the public office's peers.At that time, the Shanxi Gang, the owner of the bank in the capital, was the most powerful and had the strongest capital.The rest are the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Gang and the Lianghu Gang.He is a lonely Guangdong gang who can't even touch the door.

It was quite difficult for Delong to enter the office.Fortunately, his capital threshold is sufficient. The key is that he can handle remittances between Guangdong and Guangxi at a fast speed and with large amounts, which is quite rare for his colleagues in the capital. Through Zhao Yingong's relationship, he also won over the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gangs.Only then could I join the membership.

However, Shanxi House initially only had a "repulsive" attitude toward this newcomer. Although there was a lot of friction due to the deposit-taking relationship, in general it was not a matter of life and death. First of all, their business scopes did not overlap. Secondly, he has the threshold of Eunuch Yang and the power of the eunuch, which ordinary officials and gentry would not dare to provoke.

But before and after this kidnapping case, Shanxi House's attitude was thought-provoking.It shows that someone among them is deeply involved, but whether a certain Shanxi house is involved or the entire Shanxi gang is involved, the joints are still unclear.

All we know now is that Manager Qiao of Xia Ji Shanxi House is deeply involved in this matter.It is impossible for a manager to have such great courage, Xia Ji must be deeply involved,

"From a small point of view, it is possible that the Shanxi house will add insult to injury, but it is not an attempt to kill the master." Wu Kai said authentically, "Even if they bought a large number of Delong banknotes at a low price, if they cannot redeem them in full, they will be useless." Just a piece of paper. Once Delong falls, every family will suffer losses. Why do you need to do something that harms others but does not benefit yourself?"

"Yes, so the kidnapping case, except for Xia Ji, other companies should be irrelevant. If they can take advantage of the situation to bankrupt Delong, they will also be happy to see it happen." Leng Ningyun sighed, "But, they all They just sit on the sidelines and wait for the peace punch, but they may not be willing to do anything if they really want to. So I guess the main force in collecting low-price tickets and preparing for the run is Xia Ji. There is no need for other companies to come specifically to redeem them. They can just take all the Delong tickets they saved years ago. Just come here and it’s enough.”

"Xia Ji is willing to do this loss-making business, probably because of someone's instigation..."

"It goes without saying! It must be the Shi Weng Group, maybe there are other big guys."

Now that he is back safely, the other seven Shanxi houses are probably worried, no matter what the person behind Xia Ji said to them or what wishes he made.His return has fully proved Deron's strength.It's one thing to add insult to injury, but it's another thing to fight with real swords and guns.This is why he believes that houses in Shanxi are still within reach.

"Except for the eight Shanxi gangs, six other gangs from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lianghu gangs are also candidates for competition. However, their strength is far inferior to that of the Shanxi gangs. But it is better than nothing."

Wu Kaidi understood: "I'm going to see the shopkeepers of these stores right now."

"You might as well speak more clearly. It is true that Delong is in difficulty now, but as long as we can stabilize our position, everyone will benefit; secondly, Shanxi House is already the most powerful in the capital. If they are able to overthrow Delong this time, Long, they will definitely have to push further in the future. So in this matter, we must ask them to make more adjustments."

"Yes, they still understand the meaning of lips being cold and teeth dying." Wu Kai said authentically, "It's just that their capital is very small. It will be difficult to ask them to transfer money..."

"As much as you can adjust, it will be calculated based on doubling last year's highest interbank interest rate." Leng Ningyun said, "You tell them that there is no need to transfer money, and ask them to issue a note."

"Each of these six companies can borrow about 2000 taels. If it is any more, it will be hopeless."

2000两就是1万两千，比起18万的口子还是差了许多。何况现有的15万里还有十万杨公公是声明一开门就要提走的。这么一算，还差将近27万两。

27 taels was an appalling figure in the late Ming Dynasty. The Wanli Tianqi court spent only 30 taels on building the three main halls.

But when I think about it again, it’s not really that much.Excluding the 10 taels that Eunuch Yang will definitely come to pick up, most of the remaining 17 are invoices.Delong's nationwide chain number has a good reputation and fast remittances. Many bills are stored on the road or in other places. The maximum bills on the market in Jingshi are [-].

"Over at Shanxi House, it would be great if we don't add insult to injury. I guess we can't count on them to help us in times of need." Wu Kaidi sighed.

"That's not necessarily the case." Leng Ningyun said, "As long as Delong doesn't fall, they can make money. These Lao Xi'er gangs have to make money from building slaves, but we can't make money? Did Xia Ji get on a pirate ship? If you can't get it, the other seven families can fight for it. Get 10 taels of silver."

"Just the benefit of doubling lending is probably not enough to convince them."

"What if there are only benefits? There have to be disadvantages." Leng Ningyun chuckled, "The special reconnaissance team will arrive in Tianjin in the next few days. How can we not use such a good opportunity?"

Although Wu Kaidi has never been to Lingao, he has heard stories about the special reconnaissance team.Hearing him talk about it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, with them here, we will also come to invite the God of Wealth!"

"That's right. As long as they cooperate obediently, if they don't cooperate, they have to resort to tricks." Leng Ningyun said, "However, if it really gets to this point, it will be difficult to end it. We are red line box thefts, let them know Just be great."

"Yes, yes, that's enough." Wu Kaidi's face became much brighter at this time, "As long as these seven companies don't come to squeeze, we won't get in the way!"

"After this calculation, it's almost enough." Leng Ningyun said, "To be cautious, we still need to prepare more cash in our hands. You and I prepare a note. I want to see Li Luoyou in two days. .”

"You want to see him?" Wu Kaidi was startled, "He is in the capital, but he is notoriously difficult to meet. You have invited him several times, but he has refused..."

"Now Delong is at the critical point of life and death, and he must see me."

Wu Kaidi was dumbfounded. According to common sense, in the past, things were going smoothly and he was rejected. Now that Delong is in crisis, the other party will ignore him even more.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Luoyou had a weakness that was under the control of Kun Thief.He was the only one who cared about his wife and nephew, so he had to help at this time.If Delong really goes bankrupt and Leng Ningyun escapes or is arrested and imprisoned, Gu Baocheng will not do any business in Lingao, and digging sand at Fu Youdi will be enough.

Leng Ningyun saw that he was surprised and didn't explain much. He just said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li will never ignore it in times of crisis."

Seeing that he was so confident, Wu Kai said: "I will make arrangements right away. He does not live in his own mansion in the capital, but has another door."

"Prepare a generous gift, all the latest Australian products! Prepare one for my aunt as well."
