"Sir... you mean... that you want to exchange all our belongings into banknotes?"
After the young master left, the few words the master said in Cui Cheng's ear really stunned him.
Ever since that young master delayed their Cui family's business, the master has explicitly prohibited anyone in the family from getting involved in that young man's business!
Occasionally, if a servant goes to Zuixianren to buy wine, he will be punished.
The books at home are still the same bamboo slips as before. At most, they can buy some paper to write on, and the merchants have to buy the goods from the paper mill, and then they buy them!
Definitely don’t buy directly from the paper mill!
I also heard from newspapers that every time a copy was sold, the young lady lost two cents, so she kept buying it all day long!
Now he actually said that he wants to deposit all the money into the bank?
"That's right, my own son, I know that what we are taking out this time is all the belongings of our Cui family. There must be no mistakes. Once this kid doesn't change his ways and squanders the money, our Cui family will be in trouble. There is really no chance of a comeback!”
"Exchange it into a banknote and leave it in the accounting room. Then take it out when you buy the fur. This will avoid that kid's crooked idea!"
"Besides, the journey is long and it is inconvenient to carry a suitcase. Once we are targeted by some bandits, I am afraid that even the traitor's life will be at stake!"
"I did this, firstly, to prevent that kid from having evil thoughts, and secondly, for the safety of the money!"
"Didn't the newspaper say that you can go to the bank to exchange money and buy things at any time? It is approved by the court!"
Although Cui Jingtong cannot go out, he reads the newspaper every day.
Xiao Zhengtai opened a bank, and he knew the purpose of the bank very well!
"Okay, don't worry, Master, I'll do it right away!"
Cui Cheng nodded and went out to find the accountant.
…
"General Yu, good news...good news, haha!"
A few days later, Cui Sheng arrived in Pengcheng and conveyed his father's wishes to Fan Zeng.
For safety reasons, Fan Zeng did not take these merchants to meet Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu!
Who knows if some of them will pretend to surrender and hack their Xiang family behind their backs!
So Fan Zeng met everyone in a remote ruined temple outside Pengcheng!
Among these merchants, the Cui family paid the most, with half a million gold!
In fact, even Cui Sheng was shocked when the statistics were first calculated!
After more than a year of continuous losses, coupled with his father's stinginess, he once thought that his family had no money, but he didn't expect that he could still spare so much money!
Although there was money from restaurants and wine shops that were resold at low prices, it was still enough!
Along the way, he scolded me ten thousand times in his heart!
There was so much money but he was not allowed to spend it.
And in order to prevent him from spending money indiscriminately, he actually changed all the money into banknotes and placed them in the accounting room.
Even if he spends a penny, he has to reach out to the accounting office, and the accounting office also has to keep accounts and sign!
It was so tortured that I died!
"Father, what's the good news? But have you raised enough money to buy the furs?"
Xiang Yu, who was dancing with a gun in the yard, saw Fan Zeng coming in with a happy face. He quickly turned over the gun in his hand and carried it behind his back.
In the past few days, the Xiang family has sent many people to lobby the wealthy businessmen from the six countries, but without much success!
Everyone wants to accumulate strength and support their own country, and they don't want to serve Chu State at all!
But they were also afraid that the Xiang family would retaliate against them if they succeeded in taking the lead alone, so they were all symbolic.
The most he took out was 10,000 gold, and the least he took out was 500 gold to kill the beggars!
This little bit is still far from buying all the fur!
"Yes, today I went to see the people sent by the Cui family. Guess how much the Cui family took out?"
Fan Zeng had an old face full of wrinkles and smiled extremely happily.
"One hundred thousand gold?"
Xiang Yu guessed.
"No!"
Fan Zeng shook his head.
"Is it two hundred thousand?"
Xiang Liang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
However, Fan Zeng still shook his head!
"The Cui family won't take out 300,000 yuan at once, right?"
Xiang Yu's tentative guess seemed a little unbelievable.
"Fifty thousand gold...!"
Fan Zeng held out five fingers with joy on his face, "The Cui family is willing to pay 500,000 gold to support us!"
"But they have a condition!"
"What conditions?"
"You have to buy the fur yourself and store it with them!"
"Haha, the merchant is stingy. As long as our Xiang family overthrows the Qin Dynasty, the world will belong to us. Is it possible that we will swallow his five hundred thousand gold?"
"Hey! No wonder merchants have low status and narrow vision!"
After learning the Cui family's request, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew laughed directly.
"The Cui family's idea is to advance and attack, and retreat to defend. Even if we fail to fight against Qin, they still have the skin in their hands. By then, just making this money will be enough!"
Fan Zeng stroked his beard, looking scheming.
"These businessmen are full of crazy ideas!"
Xiang Yu spat disdainfully.
"We don't want their money anyway, just join forces with us and buy most of the furs on the market!"
Xiang Liang shrugged, with an indifferent expression.
As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter whether the Cui family is stingy or not!
"Actually, it's understandable. We've never had any interactions before. It's impossible for someone to give half a million gold to us. Anyone else would probably do this...!"
The old man Fan Zeng stroked his beard and continued: "With this large sum of money and our Xiang family, this matter can definitely be done!"
"Haha, great!"
After hearing this, the happiest person present was Xiang Yu, who immediately started playing with guns in the yard.
"When I get to Xianyang, I will definitely use this gun to pierce the heart of Ying Zheng!"
"Yu'er, have you forgotten what your uncle told you? Be careful what you say and do!"
Xiang Liang immediately cast a warning look.
This kid is good at everything, but he is too impulsive and can easily do bad things!
"Don't worry, General Yu. As soon as the cold winter comes and the people gather together, you will have the opportunity to lead your troops to attack...!"
Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Starting from tomorrow, we will send people to contact nearby fur traders. It will be faster to buy furs from them! The land in Guanzhong will be handed over to the Cui family. It is estimated that within a month, most of the fur dealers will The fur will disappear from the market!”
"Haha, great! The old thief Wang Jian used a trick to kill grandpa. I must avenge him!"
Xiang Yu slammed the heavy steel gun on the ground, and it was seven inches into the soil. It immediately raised a lot of dust.
"I have already made good contact with the nobles of the six countries. As soon as the people riot and we raise the flag of rebellion, they will come to Pengcheng to join us and attack Xianyang together!"
"Next, let's discuss the person who will come forward to buy the furs and the route of attack...!"
