Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 147 Commercial Documents (3)
Xu Cheng took the banknote and found an opportunity to give it to the guard to explain his intentions. After seeing the guard's agreement, he and Xu Zongde went to his place to rest.

Not to mention, the 100 taels of silver really worked well, and the guard sent a message the next morning, saying that Zhao Qing was in the embassy by several businessmen early in the morning, and would probably be there all morning.

Xu Zongde hurried to the embassy when he heard about it, and let the guard who had received his silver ticket go in and report.

Fortunately, Zhao Qing didn't hide from him explicitly and asked the guards to bring him in.

After the meeting, Xu Zongde couldn't wait to ask, "I said Mr. Zhao, what about my business documents, why haven't you given them to me?"

Zhao Qingdao: "Boss Xu, don't say that. It's not that I don't give it to you. He is the Northern Court and he doesn't give it to us. You know how many times I have been there to ask for it, but they either said that they didn't have a look at this yamen, or they sent that one." The yamen did not print it."

Xu Zongde has nothing to say about such a statement, he can only complain: "Oh, this is killing me, my caravan has been waiting at the border for more than a month, if you wait any longer, there will be grass growing in the bags gone."

Zhao Qingdao: "I can't do anything about it. If your court doesn't send it back, what else can I do."

Xu Zongde said: "If they don't give it, you just keep urging it. The Yamen in Beiliao is like this. If you don't urge him, he won't do anything."

Zhao Qing was a little annoyed and said, "Of course we have urged, how could we not have urged, that servant of your family chased me every day to ask questions, and I was also anxious, this is not something I can decide..."

Then he slowed down and said: "I said, Boss Xu, what are you doing in such a hurry, sooner or later, our Korea will definitely let you in, why bother."

Xu Zongde couldn't tell him that all his money was borrowed, and pointed to going to Korea to make money to pay off the debt, so he could only cry and say: "Oh, I just, just... think it's later than expected."

Zhao Qingdao: "Not only is it later than you expected, but it is also later than we expected, but it's okay, after all, it's normal for the two countries to be slower in handling affairs."

Xu Zongde knew that he would definitely not be able to get it today, so he asked again: "Then, when can I get this document?"

Zhao Qingdao: "I can't say for sure, it all depends on you Beiliao, maybe you can get it back in three to five days, maybe you can wait another month."

"Wait another month?"

Xu Zongde wanted to cry, and it would be too late if he waited another month, Huiyuan Bank would have to take his property.

If Zhao Qing continued to talk, he would definitely go on endlessly, and said again: "I just said that, and I didn't say maybe three days or five days, I think you should go back and wait with peace of mind. If you stay with me all day and all night It’s soaking, should I not get it, I still can’t get it.”

Xu Zongde had no choice but to leave the embassy and go back to his residence to wait.

Just like this, I waited left and right, went to Zhao Qing once on the left, and looked for the envoy once on the right, and changed one excuse after another, but I couldn't get the trade document.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Zongde waited for more than a month when he arrived in the capital, and the business in Huikang Mansion was in chaos. Sent again to ask when the border can be crossed.

In the end, Xu Zongde finally saw that it was far away to get this paper document, and his dream of gold mining in Korea was basically in vain.

In desperation, he had no choice but to inform the caravan to set off to return to Huikang. He came to the embassy again, found Zhao Qing to discuss and said, "I said, Mr. Zhao, I think this business is basically untrustworthy. If you can’t return my silver to me, I don’t want this business right.”

When he said that, Zhao Qing was annoyed, and said sharply, "I said, what do you mean, Boss Xu? Back then, when Shang Chazi came to beg me, I begged me to find a way to open the back door for you and give you the qualification to trade in advance. I risked being Lord Wang reprimanded you for helping you, so it’s good now, but when you open the trade route later, you actually go back and forth asking for money? Could it be that you think I’m cheating you of money?”

Xu Zongde hurriedly said: "No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that my money is tight and I can't afford to bet money for such a long time. I want to get it back to turnover."

"Money is tight? Can't you afford it?" Zhao Qing said with a sneer, "Two million taels of silver were said to be taken out when money was tight? You can't afford it and you are here to fight for this business right? Are you playing me for a fool? ?You said you want to go to Korea to do business, and I will open the back door for you, saying that the envoys are preparing paperwork in advance to go through the formalities, making an exception to grant your qualifications, and making an exception to hand over the paperwork to you in Beiliao in advance. Now you regret it, and then you want us Withdraw all the procedures and pretend that you have never been here? You, you are really not afraid of the wind and flashing your tongue!"

Xu Zongde had a bitter expression on his face. He also knew that this request was too much, but his family couldn't afford to wait. Seeing that the first loan was about to expire, could it be possible that he really asked Yuan Dongqi to close the shop?

Zhao Qing played both soft and hard ways, and after scolding Xu Zongde, he put on a gentle face and said patiently: "Boss Xu, I know that you may have some difficulties in doing this, but we are not joking, the contract in black and white is there. , the two parties agreed that before the expiration date, the deposit you paid cannot be refunded. If you are really tight, you should think of a way, don't do this kind of back-and-forth thing, and I advise you to not even think about it. This is to tell me that I have friendship with Mr. Cao, and I will help you hide it by selling his face. If Mr. Zhengshi finds out about this, hehe... If you can't escape, you will be held accountable for breaking the contract, let alone If you can’t get your deposit back, I’m afraid you will have to be handed over to the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty for questioning!”

Xu Zongde was frightened stupid by him immediately, only then did he realize that this is the capital of the kingdom, and in front of him are the envoys of Korea. If it is not done well, it will escalate into a conflict between the two countries. If it persists, it may be a life-threatening situation.

Up to now, I can only blame myself for being too sloppy and taking transnational business too simply. Facing the regimes of the two countries, a small businessman like myself has no ability to fight, just like how I dealt with the small businesses in Huikang City. As long as I and Cao Mingquan make up some reason, I can punish whoever I want, without that strength, some things cannot be forced.

But it's too late for him to figure it out now, the money has already been deposited with someone else, and if he insists on not getting it out, now he can only pray to God to open his eyes, let the damn trade document come down sooner, so that he can really enter Korea to do business , to make up for this loss.

It's all up to this point, but he still doesn't know that he is being calculated by others. Not only will the money be staked until it is converted into interest, but it is even a dream to enter Korea to do business. Xianglai will not give such an opportunity he.

If he can’t enter Korea, he can’t get the silver back. Xu Zongde can only rush back to Huikang. Seeing that it’s time to return the first sum of money, he has to go back and find a way. Take it away.
