Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 145 Commercial Documents (1)
Hui Ling was teased by the two, her face flushed, and she said, "You two just bully me, and if I go back, I will never come back!"

Although Guifang and Huiling didn't know what Xianglai was going to do next, they went back to Songning the next day according to Xianglai's intention, and managed the family's field well. Xianglai here will be confident in doing things. More feet.

After they left, Xianglai had nothing to do for the time being, but kept an eye on Xu Zongde's movements with Yu Zixi every day.

Although Xu Zongde acquired Xianglai's property, he didn't have time to operate it. He brought all his original and just acquired Xianglai's industrial documents to Huiyuan Bank to find Yuan Dongqi.

As soon as they met, they asked, "Master Yuan, how is the task I entrusted to you doing?"

Yuan Dongqi said with a smile: "Boss Xu came at the right time. I just received a reply from the manager and the owner not long ago. They said that Boss Xu is also one of the best in Huikang. There is no reason why you want to lend money. As long as you promise The boss has something as collateral, so he can borrow as much as he wants."

Xu Zongde's face was full of joy. He knew that the loan would probably be fine, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so he quickly said: "It's rare that your boss knows me. It must be that Manager Yuan has said a lot of good things. Thank you here."

Yuan Dongqi said: "Boss Xu is being polite. I don't know if you have brought the certificate for the collateral. If you bring it, let's do it immediately. It seems that Boss Xu is anxiously waiting for the money."

Xu Zongde said repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."

He had to be in a hurry, he had already spent the shortest time to collect the Xianglai property, but he still took more than half a month. He was really worried that the king's capital had publicly sold the commercial rights, and he would lose this opportunity.

Hearing what Yuan Dongqi said, he quickly asked Xu Cheng to open the box he was carrying.

A box the size of a food box was filled with real estate title deeds, including Xu Zongde's real estate properties other than his family's land. This time he really put all his eggs in one basket.

Because the loan amount was too large, Yuan Dongqi asked several local gentlemen and celebrities to testify at the scene, and Xu Zongde even moved Cao Mingquan to sit in the battle.

The regulation of Huiyuan Bank is that for loans below 10 taels of silver, 10% of the collateral shall be valued; one fifth.

Although the old guy felt distressed, but thinking about it was just an argument, as long as he repaid the loan, it was still his own, so he became ruthless.

According to such a ratio, it is not enough to calculate all the properties of Xu and Tianxiang. In the end, Xu Zongde gritted his teeth and took out the land deed of his own mansion, which was enough for him to borrow money. equivalent assets.

It took them a full day to complete the loan.

To be on the safe side, Xu Zongde asked to state on the loan documents that the 200 million taels of silver should be repaid in four installments within a year, the first time being half a year after the loan, the second time being eight months...and so on.

After the document was written, Xu Zongde confirmed that it was correct, and signed on it. Cao Mingquan also signed on it as an intermediary. All the deeds brought by Xu Zongde were deposited in Huiyuan Bank. The bank note was handed over to him.

On the second day after receiving the bank note, Xu Zongde handed over all the family business to the chief steward, and he took Xu Cheng and other confidants to the capital.

What Xu Zongde did was under the surveillance of Xianglai and Yu Zixi, and when he learned that he had entered the capital, Yu Zixi asked Xianglai: "The old guy is about to bite the bait for the last time, do you want to go and see for yourself?"

Xianglai said: "Going to the capital? I don't want it anymore. If I appear there at this time, this old guy will definitely be vigilant. It's not good to change his mind... But, are you sure that your friends in the embassy can Get this thing done? After all, it's a fake, and it won't be good if there are any flaws."

Yu Zixi said: "You don't have to worry, my friend has quite a position in the embassy, ​​he greeted everyone at the top and bottom, and made sure that it was as true as it was, even if Xu Zongde was killed, he wouldn't be able to discover the truth."

Xiang Lai thought: "Is it because your friend has an unusual status in the embassy, ​​or is it you who is unusual? Alas, now that the lease of Song County and Fu County by Gaoli has failed, the secret in my mind is really still like this Is it important, is it worth your effort to win him over?"

Xu Zongde brought a letter from Cao Mingquan when he entered the royal capital this time. Cao Mingquan asked him to find a Korean man named Zhao Qing in the embassy. Negotiations with the Liao side.

After arriving in the capital, he learned that the news of Shang Quan had not been made public, so Xu Zongde didn't dare to say anything, and quietly sent a letter of worship and Cao Mingquan, inviting Zhao Qing to the banquet.

Zhao Qing got Yu Zixi's instructions, and then fooled Xu Zongde, fearing that he would not believe him, and took him to see Zheng Shi again the next day.

The envoy also admitted to Xu Zongde about the sale of commercial rights, and asked Xu Zongde how he knew that the news had not been made public.

Xu Zongde immediately carried Cao Mingquan out, and the Goryeo envoy nodded and agreed to Xu Zongde's competition for business rights.

In this way, Xu Zongde missed this fact no matter how much he did, but he never dreamed that the Korean envoy, who is a foreign envoy, would partner with Chen Xianglai to cheat him.

The old guy thought he had seized an opportunity that no one else had, and immediately handed over the money to the two of them and signed a detailed business agreement with them.

The agreement was written meticulously and formally, with two copies in Goryeo and Northern Liao. Xu Zongde read it carefully and found that most of these clauses were restrictions on buying and selling goods and activities in Goryeo. Getting close to the military camp, not knowing how to draw maps, etc., are all normal regulations, and there are no excessively harsh conditions.

Xu Zongde knew that it was a transnational business after all, and these regulations were inevitable, so he signed and pledged after reading it.

As a result, after these procedures were completed, Zhao Qing and Master Zhengshi told him that he was the first merchant to sign the agreement, and they still had to select a few more merchants in Beiliao. After an agreement is reached, a commercial official document recognized by both countries will be issued, and only with the official document can exchanges between the two countries be carried out.

Xu Zongde asked how long it would take to select a business, and Zhao Qing told him with a smile that it would not take long, just like him, it would be determined in three or two days.

Xu Zongde thought that he could do it quickly, so he believed his words, and asked where to get the official document.

Zhao Qing said that there are many procedures for handling this official document. After going through many yamen in Beiliao, he still has to go back to the Korean embassy to get the official seal. Xu Zongde is unable to do it himself. Inform him to come and get it back.
