Tan Xinren went bankrupt.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver may be just a windfall for the protagonist in some cool novels, but in the real Jiajing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, it was a fortune that could scare many people to death.
The silver supply of the Ming Dynasty did not gradually increase until the sons and grandsons of Jiajing, through switch trade. In the Jiajing Dynasty, silver was a very valuable thing. In history, Comrade Zhao Wenhua worked diligently and greedily all his life, but when he was finally convicted, he only had more than a hundred thousand taels of silver.
Although Tan Xinren is a wealthy businessman in the capital, anyone who has done business knows that businessmen do not have particularly much cash in their hands. Most of it is shops, land, real estate, etc.
Tan Xinren is usually arrogant and domineering, and has a bad reputation in the business circle. Now that he wants to sell his property to cash in, those wealthy businessmen will only take the opportunity to lower the price, so how can they show any mercy?
Tan Xinren calculated over and over again that after paying off Xiao Feng's money, there was still some leftover, but now at such a discount, not even the compensation money was enough! Just when he was at a loss, a businessman with whom he had some friendship came to his door.
This businessman was here to act as a middleman. He told Tan Xinren that Zhang Tianci agreed to take over his entire business and residence at one time for a price of 200,000 taels. This money, plus the 100,000 taels of silver he had raised before to give to Yan Shifan for his birthday, was just enough to compensate, not a penny more.
Tan Xinren knew that the total value of all these should be at least 250,000 taels, but at this time, if it were anyone else, let alone 200,000 taels, he would not necessarily buy it even if it was 100,000 taels.
The reason is very simple. Firstly, few businessmen have so much money. Secondly, Xiao Feng has long promised that Tan Xinren will go bankrupt. If he is willing to pay a high price to buy his property, it will be tantamount to helping him. The style is right.
There is probably no one who has a lot of cash and is willing to offend Xiao Feng in the Beijing business district. So Tan Xinren gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally agreed. Even though he was ruined, he still had a chance to make a comeback. If you can't pay the compensation, at least you will be exiled! Those people will never support him again!
However, Tan Xinren was still surprised: "Just Zhang Tianci? I know his wealth is definitely not more than 30,000 taels of silver. Where can he get 200,000 taels?"
The businessman sighed: "Brother Tan, are you still looking through the old almanac? Last time Zhang Tianci made a huge profit on some futures contract of Nuomi. This time he spent fifty thousand taels of silver just to secretly purchase Nuomi. . He took 20,000 taels himself, and he only borrowed the remaining 30,000 taels from three companies in the capital.
He has a good reputation, and with the Heavenly Master Xiao Feng as his backing, who can't trust him? His reputation now is higher than when he acquired Nuomi. I don’t know how much money he has in hand now, but I can guarantee that if he borrows a lot now, he doesn’t need other merchants, just the bosses of the construction team can get it for him. Two hundred thousand taels! "
There are at least twenty construction teams in the capital, and although they vary in size, each family can still do it if they spend an average of ten thousand taels of silver. Tan Xinren had to admit that this speculation was reliable.
He gritted his teeth: "Okay, I admit defeat and give it to him!"
This big deal that shocked the entire capital was a ceremony held in Taibaiju. Firstly, this is the most upscale restaurant in the capital, and secondly, because Taibaiju is located near the Wucheng Bingma Division, and the security is very good. Such a large transaction can easily be targeted by gods from all walks of life.
The moment the two people pressed their fingerprints, Tan Xinren got silver notes and gold worth 200,000 taels. The bank notes may be large or small, and the gold may not be the whole gold ingot. It seems that Zhang Tianci has indeed borrowed it from many families.
However, Zhang Tianci is not worried about his debts at all. Tan Xinren's three major businesses belong to him, and it is only a matter of time before he can earn back the money.
The managers of these three businesses were also present. They are just part-time workers. If the boss changes, as long as they are capable of working, they will still do the same job. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Tianci will continue to use them, so they feel a little uneasy.
The most reassuring one here is Chunyanlou's mother, Yanniang. Although she also works part-time, her real backer is Chen Hong, the chief eunuch who is responsible for the ceremony. No matter who the employer is who provides the money, she is as stable as a rock.
Therefore, Yan Niang gave Zhang Tianci a charming look: "Boss Zhang, from now on you will be the slave's boss, and you can settle the account when you come to support me again, hehe."
Zhang Tianci blushed for a rare moment. Although it was legal and reasonable for men to visit brothels these days, there were so many people watching that he actually felt a little embarrassed.
There were some booing next to him: "If Boss Zhang goes to Chunyan House again, it won't be the same as before. It's like marrying a famous prostitute home and becoming a concubine. There's no freshness. If you want to have fun, you'll go to other brothels." .”
Amidst the roar of laughter from everyone, Tan Xinren's face turned livid, and he didn't even reach out to take the silver notes and gold on the table, because he knew that these were not his, and that he was just a passing god of wealth.
Sure enough, there was a sound on the stairs, and Xiao Feng went upstairs. Behind him were several Jinyi guards led by Shen Lian. They were all tall and powerful, and the businessmen suddenly did not dare to speak loudly.
Zhang Tianci quickly stood up and offered his seat. Xiao Feng smiled and shook his head, then looked at Tan Xinren, who looked at Xiao Feng with a livid face.
"Boss Tan, a few months ago, when you and I first met here, you said that you would let Zhang Tianci go bankrupt within half a year, that you would let me go back to the streets to tell fortunes, and that people would destroy my stall again, once every twelve months. I said that within half a year, you would let Zhang Tianci go bankrupt. Bankruptcy, I remember correctly.”
Tan Xinren had nothing to lose at this time. He also knew that Xiao Feng was not as ruthless as Yan Shifan and would not kill himself, so he said firmly: "That's right."
Xiao Feng nodded: "Now, it's less than half a year. You were once as rich as the capital, but now you are as poor as the capital. It can be seen that when the sky is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be misfortune."
Tan Xinren gritted his teeth and said, "I have nothing to say after losing at your hands. You are also crazy now. Aren't you afraid of disaster?"
Xiao Feng laughed loudly: "You disrupt the market and break the rules, not for legitimate business expansion, but to steal other people's wives and daughters. Although I, Xiao Feng, are crazy, I am upright and have a bright heart. You said you were defeated at my hands. Li, that's wrong, you have failed on the 'Tao', you have lost touch with the Tao, and without me, Xiao Feng, heaven would have killed you!"
After saying that, Xiao Feng stretched out his hand towards Tan Xinren. Tan Xinren took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes from his arms as if tearing apart his own ribs and put them on the table. Xiao Feng waved his hand, and Shen Lian and others swept away all the belongings on the table and walked away.
Zhang Tianci coughed and put away the paperwork: "Boss Tan, I won't push you too hard. You will move out of your current house within three days. If you don't have enough money for the car, I will leave you a hundred taels of silver here, which is enough for you to hire a car." Anywhere.”
Everyone left. Tan Xinren sat blankly in his seat and suddenly grabbed the one hundred tael silver note. He wanted to tear it into pieces to relieve his hatred, but in the end he didn't do it and put it in his arms. Once upon a time, would he take this one hundred taels of silver seriously?
But today, these one hundred taels are not only money for him to move, but may also be money for his family to survive for a period of time in the future.
On the road, several people were silent. After a long time, Shen Liancai said to Xiao Feng: "What Brother Xiao said just now was so righteous and righteous that Tan Xinren was speechless. A man is happy to express his gratitude and revenge, and this is the way it should be."
Xiao Feng glanced at him sideways: "Has Shen Lian learned to be duplicitous? Are you still Shen Lian? You can't be someone else pretending to be someone else."
Shen Lian smiled awkwardly, and so did the Jinyi guards.
"You think I've gone too far, don't you? Fusi of Jinyiwei Nan Town is in charge of the capital, and Fusi of North Town is running around on errands, so he's half a Jianghu man. What you think in your mind is that I'm not very particular about beating up a stray dog, and I'm not generous enough. "
A young and outspoken commander said: "I don't dare to do this because I am a low-ranking official. I just feel that your Excellency has already won a complete victory. It would be beneath my status to waste words with that guy."
These people are all close friends Shen Lian has made in Jinyiwei these days. Xiao Feng respects Shen Lian and naturally does not treat them as outsiders. What's more, several people had sacrificed their lives to help that night, so it was considered a life-saving friendship.
"I didn't say what I said to Tan Xinren. Many people in the capital know that I bet with Tan Xinren, but not all of them know the reason. I said it in public to let everyone understand that Tan Xinren went too far to deceive others. I I just helped Zhang Tianci get justice. Otherwise, no matter what, I am still an official, and I am challenging Xinren, which is not a good thing in itself."
Everyone suddenly realized, Shen Lian said: "Then what you said later was also on target?"
Xiao Feng smiled: "Of course, his misfortune was caused by madness. God wanted to deal with him. I just followed the will of God. This is the 'Tao'."
Everyone secretly thought, others blame others, but you blame God. This blame is high enough.
Shen Lianruo had some realization: "Master Lu always said that I have bad intentions but I am not convinced. What Brother Xiao said today made Shen suddenly enlightened!"
Xiao Feng smiled faintly, but Lu Bing's evaluation was fair. In history, Shen Lian sought death all the way and was strict with the party, but Lu Bing was unable to save him in the end. Although Qing Shi left his name, his end was tragic, and even his son did not survive.
Since God arranged for him to meet Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng must never let history go on like this. No one of his friends and relatives of Xiao Feng can touch them. Sorry, Shen Lian, for delaying your efforts to leave your name in history.
At this time, in Yan's mansion, the Iron Triangle of the Yan Party was meeting, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Zhao Wenhua, who lost his money bag, was inevitably dejected. Although Tan Xinren was not indispensable to him, it was still a major source of income. It is not easy to cultivate one from scratch.
Yan Shifan was also very angry. Although he was much richer than Zhao Wenhua, Xiao Feng took away the hundred thousand taels that Tan Xinren had brought to his lips, and he almost fell into the pit of losing the Sacred Heart. inside. Although the actual harm is not great, it is extremely insulting.
On the contrary, Yan Song was very calm. Although he was not as good as his son in terms of IQ, he was only slightly inferior. What makes him better than his son is that he has been a minister for many years, has a deep mind, a calm temperament, and does not easily get angry or angry.
Therefore, only he could say the most serious words at this time: "Xiao Feng is a nobody, an insignificant person, and he was not willing to fall out with Lu Bing and others because of him. But after all his efforts, he has gained fame and fortune. , and it has become the hope of the opposition. It seems that we can no longer ignore it."
Zhao Wenhua showed a rare murderous look: "He is just a scholar, and someone else did the martial arts competition for him. In my opinion, let Donglou send someone to kill him!"
Zhao Wenhua usually despises fighting and killing. He thinks that is not polite enough. It can be seen that now he really hates Xiao Feng.
Yan Shifan also calmed down under his father's influence, and looked down upon his godbrother as usual: "I know how to fight and kill. Now is not the time to fall out with Lu Bing. In fact, there is a better way!"
