If Chang Hao had followed his previous thoughts, he would have bought a house first and settled down in the capital without hesitation. After all, Chang Hao has always dreamed of being able to live comfortably like this.
Even before lying down, he still had this thought.
However, as time went by, Chang Hao's ideas slowly changed. After experiencing the matter of buying securities and becoming rich overnight, it was somewhat inconsistent with Chang Hao's ideas to settle for a small fortune.
After all, buying a house requires spending a lot of money. If the money continues to be used to buy securities, even if it only makes money again, just once, what kind of house will he want to buy and not be able to buy? Now, with the money, he can at most buy a very ordinary house in the outer city. After all, he also needs to leave some money to live on, and he borrowed money from many people in the beginning and needs to pay them back one by one.
But if he didn't buy a house, carrying so much money with him would not only be risky and uneasy, but also very inconvenient.
what to do?
If Chang Hao had a family and a room, it would be much simpler. He could just put it at home and hide it. However, his parents died young and he was all alone, living in a wine shop. It's obviously not feasible to put so much money in a wine shop.
He had to have a very proper place to store it.
Just when Chang Hao was at a loss what to do, he suddenly thought, "Since those merchants can put their goods in the Shipping Department for safety and convenience, can we also put the money in the Shipping Department?"
But this was just Chang Hao's wishful thinking, and no one could explain it to him in the middle of the night. Therefore, he spent the whole night swinging back and forth between what was possible and what was not feasible, and stayed up all night until dawn.
...
Han Du hasn't been to the academy for many days. He always comes to Shibosi at dawn. There is no other way. Sea-going ships are coming back in a steady stream these days, and the tax revenue received by the City Shipping Department every day is a huge amount.
Without him personally taking charge, Han Du always felt that something would be missing.
However, Han Du was still in charge, but he had no intention of fighting on the front line personally. Being able to sit in the office and drink tea was considered as fulfilling his duty.
However, because the Shipping Department is extremely busy now, there are no clerks to pour tea for Han Du, and Han Du has to even boil water by himself. Fortunately, Han Du didn't care about it and just drank and enjoyed himself.
"Master Marquis, I would like to ask for an audience with you."
Xiong Ting's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in."
Han Du raised his eyes towards the door and saw Xiong Ting in front, followed by someone behind him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Chang Hao. Xiong Ting and Chang Hao probably weren't familiar with each other, and they probably didn't have much in common, so why did they come together?
Han Du had a flash of doubt in his heart, but he still laughed when he saw an acquaintance, "You are Chang Hao, I remember you."
When Chang Hao heard Han Du talking about him, he immediately took advantage of it and saluted quickly, "Xiaosheng Chang Hao, pay homage to the Marquis. I didn't expect that the Marquis would still remember Xiaosheng, and Xiaosheng is deeply touched."
"You have done a lot for me, so there is no need for so many false greetings. Sit down and talk." Han Du pointed to the chair on his right.
Chang Hao was even more moved when he saw that Marquis Zhenhai was so approachable. Marquis Zhenhai said that he had contributed, but that was just because he took money to do things. Logically speaking, he should get both money and goods. But even so, the Marquis of Zhenhai allowed him to sit down.
Chang Hao bowed and carefully sat down with half his butt next to the chair.
Han Du glanced at Chang Hao and knew that he must have something to ask for, so he asked Xiong Ting to bring him to see him. Then he said bluntly: "Tell me, what do you want to see me about? If there is a place where I can use my strength, I will never refuse."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Xiaosheng. I really have something to ask for." Chang Hao quickly leaned towards Han Duyi, and then raised his head to look at Xiong Ting.
When Xiong Ting saw it, he immediately moved closer to Han Du and explained: "Master Hou, it's like this..."
Hearing Xiong Ting say that Chang Hao wanted to deposit the money in the Shipping Department, Han Du was shocked and at the same time, he kept cursing himself a pig in his heart. Even a financial institution as powerful as a bank has never thought of it.
However, although he was ecstatic in his heart, Han Du's face remained calm.
Seeing that Marquis Zhenhai just took a sip of tea without any expression, Chang Hao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Master Hou, Xiaosheng knows that this matter is abrupt, but Xiaosheng really has no choice. To be honest, Mr. Hou said, Xiaosheng I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night last night. If Mr. Hou can help, I would be very grateful."
Chang Hao's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was because he stayed up late last night or because he was desperate.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Han Ducai smiled awkwardly and said, "If you want to put the money in Shibo Division, there is no problem."
Before Chang Hao was happy, Han Du said again: "But have you ever thought about it, you can't just make an oral agreement when you put the money in the Shipping Department, right? The Shipping Department has to give you a voucher, right? And this voucher It also needs to be unique and cannot be counterfeited. Also, your money will always be used in the future. Whether you withdraw it all at once or in multiple installments, someone will be responsible for it, right? "
"Then what do you mean by the Marquis?" Chang Hao felt that what Zhenhai Marquis said was reasonable, but he didn't understand what Zhenhai Marquis wanted to do. Do you agree or disagree?
Han Du put down the tea cup gently and chuckled: "You can leave the money in Shibo Division, but Shibo Division will charge a certain fee."
"I don't know how much the fee is?" Chang Hao suddenly became worried. If he charged too much, it would be difficult to handle.
Unexpectedly, Han Du did not speak loudly like the lion, but asked: "How much money do you want to put in Shibo Division?"
"Two thousand five hundred strings." Chang Hao answered without hesitation. This was something he had thought carefully about for a long time. He had borrowed more than a hundred guan from others, and now he had to pay it back with interest. In addition, he still needed to keep some for use. Therefore, it is finally appropriate to put 2,500 guan in the Shipping Department.
Han Du nodded lightly. After all, two thousand five hundred dollars is not a big sum of money. "What do you think is an appropriate annual fee?"
Chang Hao looked up at Han Du in surprise. He did not expect that Han Du would ask him in turn. But then Chang Hao felt embarrassed. Although Han Du was asking about the appropriate cost, he felt that if he said less, it might cause Han Du's displeasure, so the matter fell through. But if he said too much, it would be money he wanted to spend in real money, and he would feel heartbroken again.
Chang Hao originally wanted to give him a hundred guan, but after hesitating again and again, his heartache took over and he tentatively said, "Xiaosheng is willing to pay 50 guan every year."
