Chang Hao tried it and got the money.
The reason why you can borrow money easily is that the price of each share of securities is too high, easily two to three hundred yuan, which many ordinary people can afford.
Ordinary people only have a few or a dozen guan in cash at home, and it is impossible to buy securities. Therefore, although many people know that they can make money by buying securities, they cannot afford it.
Chang Hao is different. He has already had experience in raising funds to buy securities.
In addition, he had just bought a house, and everyone around him knew that he was rich. When he borrowed money from people around him using his house as a guarantee, people lent him money one after another under the temptation of high interest rates.
This time Chang Hao didn't stupidly say that he borrowed money to buy securities, he just said that he borrowed it for turnover. In order to avoid the ship returning late, he even extended the loan period to one year.
As long as he repays the principal with interest within a year, it will be considered a clear settlement.
Chang Hao kept his promise and repaid the loan with interest every time. Sometimes, the debt is paid off in advance. When Chang Hao asked to borrow money for the second time, not only the original person was willing to lend him more money, but other people were also willing to lend him money after hearing about his deeds.
After only three times, Chang Hao has gained quite a reputation in a small area.
Of course, paper cannot cover fire forever.
Although Chang Hao did not say the purpose of borrowing money, he was still noticed by interested people after several times. Everyone knew that he borrowed money to buy securities and then profited from the price difference.
After that, more and more people followed suit.
Of course, following the trend is not that easy. Because everyone knows that the huge profits from buying securities are much higher than the interest on borrowing money. Who doesn’t have any ideas at all and doesn’t know how to borrow other people’s money to buy securities and let other people’s money make money for themselves?
Therefore, after all, people with a lot of money can buy securities together with a few people, and they will not lend money to others.
And those who have less money are even more reluctant to lend money to others because they are in a disadvantaged position. If someone else takes advantage of the money, wouldn't it mean that they lose all their money? Unless they are the kind of people who are extremely trustworthy, but how many such people are there?
Therefore, after the news spread, the number of people willing to lend money to Chang Hao not only did not decrease, but also increased. After all, he has established his credibility through several transactions. Instead of lending money to a stranger who has never done anything before, it is natural for people to lend money to Chang Hao, at least he has a much stronger reputation.
Chang Hao also positioned himself accurately and would not refuse anyone who lent him money. He borrowed the ones with three guans and five guans, and he also borrowed the ones with three pennies and five pennies. And every time, he repaid the principal and interest in full, and he never defaulted.
Therefore, Chang Hao's business is like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger. He can easily attract wealth from all directions just by relying on his good reputation. Now he has long stopped telling stories in wine shops. Instead, he has invited a few acquaintances to help him with borrowing and repaying money at his home.
Back to the wine shop.
When this person heard others mentioning Chang Hao, he suddenly felt a little warmer in his heart, and quickly responded with a smile: "Brother, do you also know about Master Chang?"
The man just nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
The diners in the wine shop are obviously more interested in the fire kang than Mr. Chang. There are so many people claiming to be masters these days that they are hard to count, so who cares?
"Shopkeeper? How about this hot kang? Is it as good as you say?" The diner held chopsticks in his hand with a knowing smile on his face.
Although the shopkeeper knew that he was asking questions knowingly, he couldn't help but praise him a few times.
However, just when he was about to speak, a diner on the second floor spoke.
"The fire kang is indeed a good thing. It is better than the fur blankets I used to cover. Not only is it warmer than the fur blankets, but it also doesn't feel as stuffy as the furs. In the past, I was covered with furs and felt the hard fur every night. Qiu was so stressed that he couldn't breathe. Now he doesn't have this trouble, he can sleep comfortably until dawn, hahaha."
This man was also a regular customer of the wine shop, and people knew him as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hey, Mr. Yang is here too. After listening to Mr. Wai's words, it seems that this fire kang is really a good thing."
"That's what Marquis Zhenhai came up with...Which one is not a good thing?"
...
The cement straight road from Peking to Daning was finally completed after hundreds of thousands of people worked non-stop to build it.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and snow has begun to fall every now and then.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong. This year, many people did not choose to go to the city to escape the wind and snow, but lived in their own houses next to the cement straight road. After all, although houses in the city can also have fire pits, for people with livestock, it is obviously not as convenient as living in their own house.
People can enjoy the fire pit in the front room, and the animals can also enjoy the residual heat of the fire pit in the back room. This is obviously better than going to the city.
Unlike in the past, when people wanted to plug up all the cracks in the door, now people can still open the door occasionally, watch the falling snowflakes leisurely, feel the cold but fresh air, listen to the peaceful breathing of the animals in the back room, and think about the next year. Full of expectations.
Han Du also borrowed Lao Zhu's will on a snowy day.
"Destiny, Han Du returns to Beijing."
Lao Zhu's imperial edict was unique. Apart from the self-proclaimed "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor", it only had these five words.
But just these five words made Han Du feel more intimate. He read it over and over again and couldn't put it down.
"You have a chance to return to Beijing, leaving me to suffer in this bitter cold place alone." Fu Youde sat on the fire bed, lying opposite Han Du, and took a sip of wine.
In winter, when the snow is falling, you can have a nice sip of wine, but the gods won’t change it.
Han Du put away the imperial edict, looked at Fu Youde, and couldn't help but smile: "Do you feel guilty for saying this? This Liaodong is still bitter. But sitting on this fire kang, why is it so cold?"
Fu Youde did not refute Han Du. After these few months of contact, the two of them became close friends despite the big age difference.
Han Du liked Fu Youde's strong temper, he said what he said and never minced words. What he meant was what he meant, and he didn't have to waste time trying to figure it out. This made Han Du feel very relaxed talking to him.
Fu Youde, on the other hand, fell in love with Han Du's changing mind and his ability to always give him unexpected opinions on problems like an antelope hanging its horns.
The two of them felt that they had met each other too late.
