"What exactly does the Department of Commerce do? What are its responsibilities?"
"I don't know, but it must be related to merchants and commerce. Moreover, His Highness the Fourth Prince also said that the status of merchants should be improved."
"As expected, His Highness the Fourth Highness is the one who values businessmen the most. I don't know what the details are. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Don't worry, the Ministry of Commerce has just been established. I believe there will be results soon."
"..."
News about the Commerce Department spread quickly.
Ordinary people just take it as an anecdote, and it doesn't seem to have any impact on them.
However, it concerns His Highness the Fourth. How many things His Highness has done for the people, what he advocates must be beneficial to the people and must be supported.
Not to mention businessmen.
Just by hearing their names, you can tell that they are closely related to each other, and everyone seems very excited.
Very much looking forward to it.
Just because His Highness the Fourth Highness has never let the merchants down. Along the way from Ping'an County to Changjin County and then to the southwest, the businessmen who followed His Highness had a prosperous life. How could they not look forward to it.
And judging from the action this time, it might be bigger than before.
Many businessmen are already ready to make a move.
The great talent was working hard, and the production team had to work hard again. Fortunately, he had already planned to establish a commercial department, and the Southwest Commercial Bureau was his attempt.
Fortunately, through these attempts, we have gained ground in all aspects and have also trained a group of relevant talents.
Otherwise this will be exhausting.
"Your Highness, the big shopkeepers of Sihai Bank and Wanjia Bank have arrived."
At this time, a servant came to report.
Lin Bai nodded, "Bring them in!"
Soon, two seemingly shrewd men, one tall and one thin, walked in, namely Shen Wanwan, the top shopkeeper of Sihai Bank, and Hu Fangfang, the top shopkeeper of Wanjia Bank.
They are also the two largest banks in Lichao.
"I have met His Highness!"
The two of them did not dare to neglect and saluted quickly.
Lin Bai signaled to the two of them that there was no need to be restrained and was about to speak.
Shen Wanwan spoke first, "Your Highness, it's because of the third prince's debt? The seventh princess has already explained that the debt matter can be postponed."
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, "Seventh Princess?"
Shen Wanwan said in surprise: "Does your Highness not know this? Sihai Bank is supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is the largest shareholder. However, the bank is not owned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The debt can be temporarily relieved, but..."
I see!
Right!
As the two largest banks in Lichao, how could they not have a backend?
The latter smiled and said: "The eldest princess also made an explanation, the debt can be relaxed first..."
Good guy!
There are two princesses, two rich men, one is backed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other is backed by the Feilong Guard. No wonder these two banks are the largest.
its not right! Under this situation, Lao Zhu still asked himself to settle the debts of those two people?
It’s so fucking deceptive! All the co-authorships belong to your family.
All right! The whole world belongs to Lao Zhu's family, so I'm just talking about it.
The great talent felt like he had been tricked.
But now it's all in vain.
He cleared his throat and said: "I called you here today to talk about the debt, but it's not about suspending the debt, but about paying it back."
ah?
The two looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrong.
Who doesn’t know that the talented man is most in need of money at this juncture, and money is everywhere. After the new city was built, there were even more places to use money. The two princesses wanted to help when they suppressed their debts, but the result was good...
"No need to be surprised. The money owed by the second and third princes is not much, and the Lin family can afford to pay it back."
"However, since the two princesses are so helpful, why don't I give the two shopkeepers another choice? Treat this account as an investment, and give you part of the shares of the second prince and the third prince. How about that?"
this?
Hu Fang was startled for a moment, obviously hesitant, and said: "Your Highness, for such a big matter, I don't dare to make the decision. I must go back and discuss it."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, go ahead! We can tell this prince after we have discussed it."
Hu Fangfang responded and retreated.
Lin Bai then looked at Shen Wanwan.
The latter quickly said: "According to what His Highness said, Sihai Bank is willing to take a stake."
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, "Why don't you go back and discuss it?"
Shen Wanwan smiled and said, "Your Highness is joking. The Seventh Princess had already made an explanation when she came. If Your Highness is in need, Sihai Bank will do its best to help."
She is my own girl after all! Just considerate.
The eldest princess was willing to suspend debts out of dignity and righteousness, but Xiao Qi was heartbroken.
"Okay! That's settled."
Lin Bai is not polite either. My own girl, why should I be polite?
Although it’s fake, it’s not right! If she's not a fake, she's a lady, and you're welcome.
"There is one more thing, it is very important. This prince is preparing to..."
Shen Wanwan's expression went from confused at the beginning to more and more shocked and incredulous. His pupils were wide and full of strange light, "Is this okay?"
"The prince originally did not intend to leave this matter to outsiders, but since you are here, you are Xiaoqi's person, and you are also the head of the bank, and you are familiar with the operation of funds, so I will let you try it. Are you interested?"
Shen Wanwan was flattered, "I am extremely honored to be appreciated by His Highness."
"I'm just afraid that if I don't do well, I'll miss His Highness' important event."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I can't make any mistakes. I believe in you."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents and said, "The specific matters and related processes are all here. You can take them and take a closer look later, and say hello to Xiaoqi by the way."
Shen Wanwan left holding the information tightly, feeling very excited.
What an honor it is to be valued by His Highness the Fourth.
And His Highness the Fourth Prince said that although he was still a little confused for a while, he felt very powerful.
This is about doing something big.
The thought of being able to follow His Royal Highness, the most popular prince in the Li Dynasty, to do great things made him extremely excited.
However, he didn't know that the talented man was originally going to ask him and Hu Fang to help find a few relevant people, and then give them some guidance, and that would be enough.
No need now, Shen Wanwan is Xiaoqi's person, that's not even a sentence.
Delightful!
Having captured another strong man, I can steal more and become lazy again.
…
"What? Sihai Bank and Wanjia Bank were approached by Lin Qingfeng, not to suspend debts? But to repay debts?"
"Not bad! But both Sihai Bank and Wanjia Bank chose to use debt as equity."
"Damn it! These bastards..."
After Zhu Tai learned the news, his face was livid with anger.
He felt that the whole world was against him, and everyone was helping Lin Qingfeng. If he could get help from these people, how could Ezhou New City become what it is today.
He was unwilling to give in, and the hatred in his heart was overwhelming.
"What else has that bastard Qingfeng Lin done? He hasn't raised any money yet?"
Han Wenqing said: "Not yet, but a very sensational thing happened just this morning."
Zhu Tai asked anxiously: "What's the matter?"
Han Wenqing paused and said, "Lin Qingfeng proposed that businessmen should be removed from the untouchables and be allowed to participate in the imperial examination."
