Zhang Tianci has been in a state of ice and fire these past two days. This does not refer to Miss Shui's skills, but to her actual psychological state.
He had just won a major victory in the God of Cookery Competition and was in the limelight as the owner of Zuixian Restaurant. He was happily preparing to open the business in three days and follow Xiao Feng's plan!
As a result, before I was happy for a whole day, I was overwhelmed by the swarm of debt collection. The construction teams and grain merchants who were cornered by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs approached Zhang Tianci one after another.
These debt collectors are not tough, because they know that they are in the wrong emotionally, so they just keep pleading with him to understand.
Zhang Tianci can certainly understand the pain of the construction team and the grain merchants. He is a businessman himself and feels the oppression of the officials.
The loan period in Zhang Tianci's hand clearly states the loan period, some for half a year and some for one year. Repayment upon maturity, with interest.
If it is called in advance, interest will be paid in reverse, that is, the interest will be deducted from the principal for the amount of money you borrowed.
This clause may not seem reasonable today, but in fact private lending has existed for a long time, especially commercial lending. This is also to protect the borrower.
Otherwise, if the lender can demand payment at any time, then the evil-hearted person will specifically seek payment when the other party has no money, forcing the other party to sell the property at a low price, or even sell his son or daughter.
In fact, Xiao Feng shamelessly took advantage of this and defeated Tan Xinren. Talking about the wealth of the richest man in Xinren Capital, if you give him enough time to think of a solution, three hundred thousand taels of silver will not be enough to completely destroy him.
However, he had to pay 300,000 taels in compensation in a short period of time. In addition, he had lost a lot of money in the glutinous rice business before. It can be said that he took advantage of someone's illness and killed him. Now Yan Shifan is treating him in his own way, which can be regarded as revenge for Tan Xinren's curve.
Of course, reverse interest payment is a clause that only appears in commercial financing and fair lending, and is of a cooperative nature. There would never be such a clause in the IOU that Huang Shiren lent to Yang Bailao.
Even if a time limit is agreed upon, early payment is at best free of interest, because it is not business cooperation at all, but life-saving money that cannot be borrowed.
What fair lending wants is your interest, not your daughter, so the interests of both parties must be guaranteed. But Zhang Tianci now feels that although these people don't want his interest, they do want his life.
"Bosses, bosses! If you press for payment in advance, if several companies come, I will definitely find a way to pay it back to you. But if you swarm me, won't this cost my life?
Everyone can see that my business is profitable, and I will be able to pay back the money when it is due! I understand everyone, and please understand me too! "
All the bosses were also in tears, no less pitiful than Zhang Tianci.
"President, when you were president, we all voted and contributed. Can we not know that your business is good? If you were worried that the money was not safe, could we have lent it to you in the first place?
But it’s not about money now! If we don’t get the money back, the court will drag us to death and investigate us to death. President Zhang, you have a strong backing, and even the grain inspectors dare not check you directly. But we can’t!
Why don't you go and beg Mr. Xiao? Everyone knows that this matter was done by Party Yan. Let Mr. Xiao fight with Party Yan in the court with real swords and guns, and don't bring disaster to the rest of us. What a businessman! "
Zhang Tianci was at his wits' end. These bosses wanted to collect debt even if they paid interest. He could survive a day or two, but he couldn't survive like this every day. His family couldn't bear it either.
If you insist on not paying it back, it won’t work. If these bosses are forced to the end, they will definitely go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint. It stands to reason that Shuntian Mansion will coordinate, and with Xiao Feng's face, there is no need to worry about being sentenced to compensation immediately.
But in this case, even if he and most of the people in the Beijing business district are at odds, he will no longer be able to serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The most important thing is that once the reputation of being unable to repay the money spreads, the grain merchants and engineering parties that I cooperate with in other places may not dare to cooperate with me because they don't know the truth. In business, money is half of life, credibility and reputation are the other half!
So Zhang Tianci had no choice but to go with the flow and use his last resort.
"Bosses, please wait a moment. I'm going to find my elder brother! Even if you don't have confidence in me, you should have confidence in my elder brother. My elder brother will definitely be able to solve this matter!"
These words are indeed persuasive. At least so far, Xiao Feng has not suffered a loss in the contest with Yan Dang. Victory after victory accumulated people's confidence in Xiao Feng, and everyone dispersed, waiting to come back in the evening.
Zhang Tianci rushed into the Xiao Mansion sweating profusely, startling Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang who were driving Wangcai around. Wangcai took the opportunity to escape from their clutches and ran away.
"Dad, why are you here? You're sweating profusely. Is there something urgent?"
Zhang Tianci nodded and wiped his sweat: "I have something to ask Brother. What are you doing? Why are you driving Wangcai to Brother's house?"
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang both blushed. Didn't they expect that their actions were so obvious? Zhang Tianci saw through it at a glance? If you say that, can others also see it?
Zhang Tianci was so anxious that he was not in the mood to listen to their answers and rushed directly into Xiao Feng's room.
Xiao Feng was basking in the sun in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Zhang Tianci was so angry that he poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Brother, something big happened. What you reminded me before really happened.
The two bastards from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs put pressure together, forcing the construction team and grain merchants to come to me to collect debts! Our money is all tied up in business, how can we have so much money to pay off debts! "
Xiao Feng came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I was just thinking about this matter. What should come will come sooner or later. This is one of our weaknesses.
Even if Yan Shifan couldn't think of it today, he would definitely think of it tomorrow. I originally wanted to save money as soon as possible before he came to his senses, but now it seems that he reacted quite quickly. "
Zhang Tianci looked at Xiao Feng pitifully: "Brother, how about we take a word test."
Xiao Feng shook his head. This matter could not be solved by word testing, and he had also prepared for this day. Regarding business matters, he decided to rely on himself.
Zhang Tianci became even more panicked. He thought of the bosses' suggestions and thought they made sense.
"Brother, long live for trusting you. You have many friends in the court now. Why don't you have a real fight with the Yan family?"
Xiao Feng still shook his head. Zhang Tianci was just a businessman after all. He didn't understand that Xiao Feng and Yan Shifan had the same pain.
Xiao Feng was directing Zhang Tianci to do business behind the scenes. In Jiajing's view, it was his behavior of cultivating the world. Even if he knew that he and Yan Shifan were competing, he might still find it interesting.
But whether it is Xiao Feng or Yan Shifan, if they jump to the front desk, go into battle shirtless, and cause a confrontation in the court over business matters, then they have lowered their status and are just like scoundrels.
Not to mention the so-called friends in the court who would find Xiao Feng embarrassing, even Jiajing would feel that Xiao Feng had disgraced his status as the leader of the Taoist sect, and would definitely be disappointed.
What's more, Xiao Feng knew very well that his layout in the imperial court had just begun. There were only a few people who could push him. But if he had to stand up to the huge strict party and support him clearly, he would only have enough weight. not even one.
There is no other reason than that you yourself are not strong enough, so don’t blame others for waiting and watching. When you become stronger, more people will naturally come to you. Human nature is what it is, understandable.
"You go and do a few things, and I will take care of the rest, so you don't have to worry about it. I need to find someone to push you along, and they will still give you this little bit of face."
A moment later, Zhang Tianci came out of Xiao Feng's house with confidence. As soon as he went out, he saw his daughter standing in the yard waiting for him with a concerned face.
"Dad, is something not going well in business?"
Zhang Tianci nodded subconsciously, but immediately shook his head.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's nothing, dad can solve it. You don't have to worry about this."
Zhang Yunqing nodded: "Dad, don't be too tired. I think you have aged a lot during this time."
Zhang Tianci felt hot in his heart, chuckled for a while, patted his daughter on the head, and hurriedly turned around and left the Xiao Mansion. Zhang Yunqing stood blankly in the yard, looking at his father's back.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Zhang Yunqing turned around, and Xiao Feng stood behind her, with a faint smile and a tall and straight body, blocking the harsh spring wind, leaving only a patch of sunshine shining on her body.
Jiajing was in Xiyuan and heard the wind outside. He stopped his meditation posture and stretched.
"Huang Ban, didn't Xiao Feng ask to see you?"
Huang Jin put down the incense burner cover in his hand and shook his head.
"Long live the return, no."
"Didn't he go to see Pan Huang? Zhao Wenhua was the one in charge of reporting the illness to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. But not the Ministry of Household Affairs. Negotiating a contract can't cover the sky with one hand."
Huang Jin smiled, he knew Jiajing's thoughts very well. I hope Xiao Feng can tide over the difficulties, but I don't want Xiao Feng to really turn business matters into a political struggle. It's very contradictory.
"Xiao Feng and Master Pan have no friendship, they can only be regarded as acquaintances. If Xiao Feng comes to visit Banzai, will Banzai summon him?"
Jiajing frowned and thought for a while, feeling a little embarrassed. At this juncture, he hoped that Xiao Feng could show his abilities.
Since he has cultivated the way of the world and cannot even cope with this little thing and has to take care of himself, does this mean that the way of doing things is not enough?
Just as he was hesitating to meet, a little palace maid ran to the door and reported: "Eunuch Huang, long live Concubine Lu Jing's request to see you."
Although Jiajing could hear it, Huang Jin still respectfully repeated to Jiajing that this was the rule. The little palace maid should report to Huang Jin, and Huang Jin reported to Jiajing.
This rule is just like when two heads of state meet in later generations, each must bring an interpreter. Even if the two heads of state are proficient in each other's language, they must let the translator speak again. This is called a rule.
Jiajing nodded, indicating that he could see him. The little maid turned around and went to report. Looking at the brisk pace of the little palace maid, Jiajing couldn't help but sigh.
"Huang Ban, there seems to be a lot more laughter in Xiyuan recently? I can hear it sometimes."
Huang Jin glanced at Jiajing cautiously, and saw that his expression did not change much, so he answered cautiously.
"Since Long Live allowed Concubine Kang, Concubine Lu Jing and other concubines to visit Long Live in Xiyuan, they probably walked around more frequently, and it becomes lively when there are more people."
In fact, there are some things that Huang Jin dare not say, so he can only rely on Jiajing to experience them himself.
Since some of the concubines acquired certain skills, Jiajing gradually became less interested in the little maids in Xiyuan who had not grown up yet. Not only did he allow his concubines to visit Xiyuan, he would also occasionally let his concubines stay overnight in the monastery.
Gradually, when the little palace ladies saw Jiajing, they no longer seemed to be avoiding cat and mouse. He was still a child, and his heart suppressed by fear relaxed, and the child's lively nature gradually emerged.
Jiajing looked at the little palace maid who had walked away. He suddenly jumped up and reached out to catch a butterfly. He missed it and almost fell down. He couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. There was almost no eroticism in that smile. mean.
When a person gradually returns to normal from his abnormal state, his mood will naturally become normal. A man in his forties, looking at a cute girl of eleven or twelve years old, shouldn't his normal mood be like this?
